Chapter 17: Beheading Three Corpses and Quasi-Saints

"You're going to break through?!"

The congenital Jiamu is overjoyed, Hongjun is currently the ultimate of Da Luo Jin Xian, as long as he deduces the method of "cutting three corpses", he can break through the quasi-saint!

"Hmm."

Hongjun nodded:

"With the help of the power of the Heavenly Dao, I have deduced a breakthrough method that can not only strengthen my cultivation, but also remove distracting thoughts and keep my mind pure."

"The reason why Da Luo Jin Immortal is the ultimate of the Immortal Dao is because it has reached the limit of its state of mind, and what restricts its cultivation growth is not the physical body and the primordial spirit, but the heart!"

"There is no sorrow or joy in the way of heaven, but Da Luo Jin Immortal is [human] after all, and as long as he is human, he must have distracting thoughts in his heart, and he can't bear cultivation above the limit of [human]."

"If you want to preach, you must remove distracting thoughts......"

Xiantian Jiamu was stunned when he heard it, obviously feeling that he had heard something, but he felt that he didn't understand anything......

Although it is not very clear, but in connection with some later generations' statements about the sanctification of the three corpses, it still grasps a key point and asks:

"Whether it is a mortal or an innate sacred, there are seven emotions and six desires and other distracting thoughts, if they are stripped away, can they still be regarded as [people]?"

"Human" here does not refer to the human race in a narrow sense, but the concept of "heaven, earth and man" in the "three talents", "heaven" and "earth" refer to the nature of heaven and earth, and [man] is the collective name of all intelligent beings in the world.

If, according to Hongjun, the distracting thoughts of [people] are removed, of course, they will be closer to [Heaven and Earth], so as to complete the feat of merging the Yuan Shen with the Heavenly Dao!

However, the reason why a person is a person is that he has an independent consciousness, that is, he has distracting thoughts, and when he gets rid of his distracting thoughts, can he still be called a human being......

Inexplicably, the innate Jiamu thought of a sentence:

One thing I've learned from my short life is that the more you play trickery, the more you realize that there is a limit to what human beings can do, so ......

Fellow Daoist, I'm no longer a man! (Hongjun took out the jade disc and put it on his face)

……

Faced with the worry of the innate Jiamu, Hongjun laughed:

"Fellow Daoist, you're too worried! How could I not consider such a huge flaw? ”

Hongjun patiently explained:

"I divide the miscellaneous thoughts of living beings into three categories, one is [good], the second is [evil], and the third is [obsession], and these three thoughts can be stripped out separately and turned into three clones, so that the cultivation of the Great Luo Jin Immortal of the main body can continue to rise."

"When you need to cultivate, you can escape the doppelganger out of the ontology and keep your state of mind flat, and when you are in daily life, wouldn't it be nice to merge the doppelganger with the ontology?"

Hongjun's words, hearing the innate Jiamu Mao stopped!

That's right, who stipulated that the three corpses can't be returned?

The three corpses can go out of the body and return to the body at will, so when they need to retreat and cultivate, they should be separated to maintain their state of mind, and when they go out of their daily life, they can just take it back!

"I see!"

Seeing that Xiantian Jiamu understood, Hongjun smiled and continued:

"Every time a doppelganger is separated, the upper limit of the ontology's cultivation can be raised by one level, and all three doppelgangers are separated, because its state of mind is no different from the nature of heaven and earth, so the upper limit of its cultivation that can be reached will tend to be infinite, on par with the limit of the world!"

Could this be the so-called [Boundless Mana] and [Immeasurable Magical Power]?

The innate Jiamu seems to understand but not understand.

Hongjun said again:

"Fellow Daoist, can you name this method?"

Let me name it again?

Xiantian Jiamu said briskly:

"Well, [good, evil, and obsession] are people's distracting thoughts, hindering cultivation like poison, which can be called [three poisons], also known as [three corpses], and cutting off the three corpses can prove the great way."

"This method is called [Cutting Three Corpses]!"

Kill three corpses?

Hongjun silently recited it a few times, and felt that he liked the name very much, so he gladly accepted:

"Very good, it's called [Kill Three Corpses]!"

The congenital Jiamu is still non-stop, and the interest in naming it can't be stopped:

"Shall I give this new realm a name?"

Hongjun had no objection to this, and nodded:

"Yes."

Xiantian Jiamu said solemnly:

"This realm can be called a [quasi-saint]!"

"Quasi-saint?"

Hongjun hesitated for a moment and asked:

"What do you mean?"

"This ......"

The innate Jiamu was dumbfounded at that time!

The next realm of Da Luo Jin Immortal is called Quasi-Sage, and later generations basically know it.

But as for why it is called that, it is a little difficult to answer......

"Quasi-Saint...... Naturally, it means to be ready for sanctification! ”

Xiantian Jiamu thought of a statement.

"What is the sacred?"

Hongjun began to ask questions for the first time, and looking at his expression, he seemed to care about this word.

"Holy ......"

The innate Jiamu was stunned, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought:

Later generations only know that saints are called saints, but few people know why saints are called saints.

What is holy?

Is it the strong one who is high up and regards all beings as ants called "holy"?

Innate Jiamu thinks no, this semantic is closer to "god".

So, is it the existence of being left behind and independent, separated from the red earthly world?

Congenital Jiamu thinks it's not, this semantic should be called "immortal".

So what is "holy"?

The mind of the innate Jiamu began to drift, and it wanted to find the answer from the knowledge of its previous life......

The concept of sage is not deeply related to Taoism, it is closer to Confucian thought.

Who can be holy?

There are [Yuan Sheng] Zhou Gong Ji Dan, there is [Most Sage] Kong Qiu, there is [Bing Sheng] Sun Wu, there is [Fu Sheng] Yan Hui, there is [Ya Sheng] Meng Ke, there is [Book Sage] Wang Xizhi, there is [Poetry Sage] Du Fu, and there is [Chess Sage] Alpha Dog......

Well? Seems to have gotten in on something strange?

Kick that strange thing out, and just say that the person who is called a saint in front of him has either achieved extremely high achievements in a certain field, or he is extremely noble in personal character.

To sum up, saint is a high-level title attached to the civilization system, and it is not the same concept as "gods" and "immortals" that are beyond civilization.

Linked to the sanctification process of the Seven Saints of the Flood Wilderness, the innate Jiamu had a conjecture:

"The so-called [saint] is a person who has played a leading role in the development of civilization!"

Why was Hongjun sanctified? Because he has attained the Dao of Enlightenment, established the Dao of Heaven, and established the civilization of the Immortal Dao.

Why are Sanqing sanctified? Because they have the merits of Pangu opening the heavens and the deeds of establishing religion and preaching, they have developed Hongjun's immortal civilization.

Why was Nuwa sanctified? Because she created the human race, and the immortal path flourished, it is precisely because the establishment of the human race provides the foundation for its development, looking at the sects of the three religions in the later generations, all of them are human sects, it is enough to explain the problem!

Why are the two saints of the West sanctified? Because their Western religion is also preaching, Buddhism and immortal Taoism are in the same line.

Thinking about it like this, the innate Jiamu suddenly realized!

After talking about so many successful cases, let's take a negative teaching material:

The good old man Hongyun, although he has Hongmeng purple qi, he never accepts apprentices, laughs and laughs with friends all day long, and he has not inherited Hongjun's education avenue at all, and he has no merit in the immortal civilization.

It's just that this kind of person has a Hongmeng purple qi, you say that if he doesn't die, who will die?

Tut!

Interesting.
