Chapter 309: Outer Heaven
After asking about the general trend of the world and getting an answer that would take a long time to demonstrate, many bodhisattvas and arhats asked about cultivation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Although we have lived longer than mortals, after thousands of years, we will also decay, turn to dust, and be forgotten in the years of time. An arhat who had cultivated the golden body spoke, "Does Mengzun know that there are eternal beings in this world, and why are they immortal?"
Monks are also human beings, but they are more powerful people, and this strength is reflected in many aspects, such as wisdom, force, life, and so on.
These bodhisattvas and arhats have almost no possibility of becoming Buddhas in the future, which is determined by their qualifications, lifespan and chance, thinking that death will come little by little, but they have to race against time, hoping to cultivate a little higher and live a little longer.
Ordinary people are afraid of death, and monks are even more afraid of death, they have strong strength and can escape the world, but in the end, they can only return to dust, which is helpless.
"Eternal life is easy to obtain, but eternal life is hard to find. The Buddha sighed.
An arhat can live for a thousand years, and a venerable person can live for 10,000 years, which can be regarded as immortality, but it cannot be immortal.
And the only way out is to fly away and become stronger.
Immortal monks, Zhuang Xia has seen a lot, such as the First God Emperor who has lived for tens of thousands of years, and the Xuanwu Holy Beast who has lived for 300,000 years.
But immortal? He really hadn't seen it.
What is immortality? Immortal after a thousand eons, and the universe will collapse and be immortal?
I heard that the Martial Saint has left the Giant Heaven World for more than 100 million years, and he is still alive, such a long life, right?
But the word eternal life is too heavy for anyone to bear.
As long as there is a place for monks, there will be calamities that will come, and the strength and weakness will be relative, the length of life will be relative, and no matter how long it is, there will be an end.
Of course, the height of Zhuang Xia Station is far from enough, and you can only look at it from your own point of view.
"What is eternal life?" Zhuang Xia asked, "Heaven and earth are barely immortal, but there is a greater heaven and earth beyond heaven and earth, and immortality is too far away for us, and it is our pursuit to be able to transcend this world." ā
The arhat was a little embarrassed, and Mengzun clearly said that he was so ambitious, and focusing on the present was the right way.
In the quiet hall, Zhuang Xia said again: "As long as the strength is enough, you can shatter the void and enter a higher level world." ā
Ascension, this is something that only the Six Zun have hope for, how can they reach it.
"I don't know what the world outside the sky looks like? The Buddha asked.
He has never seen His Holiness fly away, but no one has come back, and no one knows about the world after the ascension, and he just wants to ask.
But what he didn't expect was that Mengzun actually answered his question.
"There is a sky outside the sky, and beyond this world, there is naturally a larger world.
In the universe, there are the worlds like constant sand, the small world, the middle world and the big world.
These worlds are contained by the universe, but the space independent of the universe seems to be not on the same level, and it is impossible to enter these worlds from the starry universe.
Only by breaking the barrier and breaking through the space can you enter other worlds.
Between each world, there is a long distance apart, and even the light has to travel for many thousands of years, and many ascenders of thousands of worlds in small worlds, if there is no higher world next to the original world, they can only wander in the starry universe, looking for life planets. ā
Zhuang Xia talked lightly, but it made the hearts of the Buddha and many bodhisattvas and arhats shake, and it turned out to be like this outside this world.
They don't know how Zhuang Xia found out, but the description is the same as in some primitive Buddhist scriptures.
The Buddha suddenly said: "150,000 years ago, there was a true Buddha who came from outside the world, impressed countless people with great power, and created the Buddha's door.
200,000 years ago, a Taoist immortal suddenly appeared, killed demons, and swept the world. The human race in this realm was able to breathe, and only then did it rise rapidly.
I thought it was just a myth, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's true. ā
There are strong people who fly away from this world, and naturally strong people will come to this world.
Of course, the monks who can enter this world are either too weak in cultivation or so strong that the world barrier cannot stop them.
It is conceivable that the true Buddha and Dao Immortal in the mouth of the Immovable Buddha are probably either true gods or powerful people who are close to this realm, so that they can sweep the world in this middle thousand worlds and easily enter and exit this world.
There are people outside the heavens, and these bodhisattvas, arhats, and even the two Buddhas have an infinite yearning for exploring other worlds.
"If you work hard to cultivate, you will eventually have a glimmer of life to soar, and you don't have to be discouraged. ā
Zhuang Xia naturally knew what the mood of these Buddhist masters was, when he had just crossed the giant heaven world, he was equally shocked to hear the legends of those gods, breaking the past cognition.
Now, he is just standing taller, not bound by one world, and coming and going freely.
But where the Heavenly Emperors and Divine Emperors who disappeared from the Giant Heaven World went, Zhuang Xia didn't know.
Obviously, there is a world that is more terrifying than the giant heaven world, so that it can accommodate those giants and give them space to go further.
Subsequently, Zhuang Xia discussed specific spiritual issues with these Buddhist masters.
From the concept of Buddhism to the wonder of the golden body, from the subtlety of the soul to the change of will, from the establishment of life to the cycle of life and death.
Zhuang Xia listened to the explanations of the bodhisattvas and arhats and watched them show their own Dharma.
For example, when an arhat runs the Dharma and his whole body turns golden, this is his golden body.
The sword is not injured, the spell is not destroyed, the impact is sonorous and powerful, and the word golden body is true, this is not bad golden body.
For example, a great sun rises above the head of the immovable Buddha, as if the brightest and most masculine energy in the world is transformed by his will.
Yan Yan also discussed with a Bodhisattva that the fire genus is together, there is a heart fire, a fire of all fires, spiritual fire, and a different fire and karmic fire. These gave Yan Yan a lot of new inspiration.
The witty words in the main hall continued to smallpox, which lasted for three days and three nights, and the black spirit woke up for several days before being carried away by Zhuang Xia.
The two Buddhas and the bodhisattvas and arhats sent the dream to the Pure Land of the Buddha Gate, and this meeting was concluded.
Zhuang Xia and Yan Yan have gained a lot, and the collision of knowledge promotes the growth of wisdom.
Different cultivation systems have different cultivation concepts, and their focus is different, which can always surprise people.
"Where are we going next?" Yan Yan asked.
"Go to the Demon City, the Demon Venerable died at my hands, and his power should be used by me. Zhuang Xia said with a smile.
Immediately, the three of them set off.
Ghost town, the center of the Venerable Hall.
The Ghost Venerable sat on the high platform, and the two Ghost Emperors below and many Ghost Immortals stood in columns.
In the ghost cultivator, the ghost venerable is the supreme existence, ruling over all ghosts. Although he was defeated by Mengzun last time, he lost a lot of face.
It was precisely because of this that he thought of revenge and killed Mengzun to capture the shattered star that could shatter space.
"Mengzun passed by the strange city, killed the strange and left, went to the Buddha City, and did not come out for three days. A ghost fairy stood up and reported to the ghost venerable.
"Have you prepared the formation I asked you to prepare?" Ghost Venerable said coldly.
"It has been prepared, as long as it is activated, it can induce the resentment of hundreds of millions of ghosts, and under the impact of this resentment, no one can keep their will clear. ā
Ghost Zun nodded, as long as Mengzun was in the formation, he would be frustrated by the impact of this resentment, even if there was no moment, he would have a chance to win the treasure sword, how could Mengzun without the treasure be his opponent?
What's more, I heard that Mengzun still has two drags around him, as long as he captures it, Mengzun will definitely be tied.
"Thorn Luo, you go and pretend to take refuge in Mengzun and lure him to the ghost town. "Ghost Venerable stared at a ghost emperor who was hidden in the dark.
"Obey His Holiness's decree. Thorn replied, his voice as sharp as a glass wipe.
