Chapter 111: Hongmeng!
Preach the Tao with strength! Preach the Tao by beheading three corpses! Preach the Tao with merit!
How could Jiang Chen not have heard of these three methods of enlightenment and sanctification?
Not to mention that it is in the Shangqing Cave Xuanjing, there is an introduction to this. Even if he didn't have the Shangqing Cave Xuanjing, Jiang Chen, as a traverser, already knew something about it!
The so-called preaching the Tao with strength means that we are above the way of heaven with our own strength! Breaking through the laws of the Great Dao and achieving the Holy Body! From ancient times to the present, there is only one person who preaches the Tao with strength, and that is the great god Pangu who opened the world at the beginning!
And whether Pangu succeeded or not, there are different opinions. But since he opened up the heavens and the earth and incarnated all things, he has never appeared again. And in later generations, there may be those who try to preach the Tao with force, such as the legendary "Demon Dao Ancestor" who was once hostile to the Heavenly Dao, but they also failed!
Therefore, this method of proving the Tao with force is the most difficult.
Cutting off three corpses is the most orthodox method of preaching and sanctification. What is required is the Taoist "beheading the three corpse gods", these three corpse gods, respectively, are good and evil to hold the three corpses, cut off the three corpses, and then merge into one, you can achieve the same derivation as the way of heaven. And then you will be able to preach!
However, from the beginning of the world to the present, only one person has succeeded. That is the legendary Daozu Hongjun. Moreover, Hongjun appeared in the Romance of the Gods, and is not recognized by orthodox Taoism, and it has not yet been determined whether there is such a person in the Journey to the West True Realm.
As for the rest of the six great saints of the Heavenly Dao, only the "Taishang Laojun" beheaded the three corpses of good and evil, but because of the "Taishang forgetfulness", he was unable to merge the three into one and fuse them into one. Therefore, it is impossible to kill the corpse of the self!
The second is Lingbao Tianzun, who beheaded the two corpses of good and evil. But because of the interception, he couldn't cut off his "obsession". Therefore, he failed to behead three corpses and sanctify them.
As for the sanctification of merit, it is to obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Way with great merit and great blessing. It is also the most common method of sanctification.
The six saints are essentially sanctified by merit. Although they all tried to kill three corpses to become holy, none of them were able to cut off all three corpses in the end.
......
......
Judging from the benefits of the three, there is no doubt that if it is really successful, then it is above the way of heaven to prove the Tao with strength.
Cutting off three corpses is to be on an equal footing with the Heavenly Dao. And the sanctification of merit is under the way of heaven, and you must not go against the way of heaven!
Therefore, although the saint is immortal, it is difficult for him to die. But in reality, this is not the case. Although saints have attained the ultimate in the Tao, there are no exceptions for those who have become holy with merit.
Therefore, at the end of "Romance of the Gods", even Taishang Laojun was forced to take the Falling Saint Pill. It can even be said that the Heavenly Dao can control the life and death of a saint! If it is to behead three corpses or preach the Tao with force, the Heavenly Dao will not be able to do so.
Of course, let alone preach the Tao with force. Even the decapitation of three corpses, except for Hongjun, no one succeeded.
So, from the above three methods. The simplest is undoubtedly the "Method of Sanctification of Merit". And preaching with strength is the most difficult......
Of course, in fact, for Jiang Chen, all three are very difficult!
Otherwise, even if it is a merit and sanctification, it is fine, as long as it does not violate the way of heaven. That is not far from the preaching of the word by force. And as the so-called "Heaven is unkind and regards all things as dogs", Heaven is fair, there is no partiality, and there will be nothing to do. Jiang Chen has nothing to do, why does he have to go against the sky?
But the sanctification of merit is now almost impossible. After all, even the great merits of the Three Emperors could not be sanctified, and Jiang Chen did not think that he could create greater merits than the Three Emperors.
From Jiang Chen's point of view, the biggest benefit of the three should be the method of sanctification with strength.
After all, the sanctification of merit is, in the final analysis, a method of accumulating merit deliberately, and there may be exercises to match it, but the value should not be as good as the method of sanctification with strength.
Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Chen wanted to learn the method of using strength to prove the Tao!
No, from his heart, Jiang Chen wanted to yell "I want them all"!
But when he really wanted him to choose, he paused, looked at the patriarch and said, "Patriarch, these three...... I don't know which one is better for me. So according to the patriarch's instructions, whatever the patriarch taught me, I will learn!"
Jiang Chen finally threw this problem to Patriarch Bodhi.
"This monkey ......"
Patriarch Bodhi was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but smile. This is the first time Jiang Chen has seen Patriarch Bodhi behave like this!
It seems that Patriarch Bodhi seems to be very happy in his heart......
"The monkeys are treacherous. If you let me teach you, you won't be able to learn it in the future, and you will come back and blame me. Hehe...... Well, then. Then I'll teach you a way. Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on your own chance. ”
Patriarch Bodhi smiled slightly and said, "You come here with your ears." ”
"Yes!"
Jiang Chen was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly leaned over to his ear.
I saw that the patriarch gently raised his right hand, and with a slight glow, the two fingers of his right hand merged into sword fingers, and gently touched Jiang Chen's earlobe!
Suddenly, accompanied by countless words full of Taoism, the patriarch's deep voice rang out!
"This method is called ...... "Hongmeng"!"
"The Hongmeng is the existence of the universe without division, time and space, the vitality of all things in the universe and space, the origin of all concepts, and the original state of all time and space, which can also be called chaos!"
"This method is the understanding of the Tao with the understanding of the Tao with the understanding of the saint after the Lingbao Tianzun preached the Tao in the Three Qing Dynasty. It is a general outline of the Dao Dharma created from the perspective of a saint! It can be said that it is a practice that gathers the infinite perception of Lingbao Tianzun! However, although Lingbao Tianzun has realized this method, he cannot prove the feasibility of this method because he has already achieved sanctification. Although the truth is derived from the Taoism, it is still unknown whether it will succeed. ”
"That being said, if you can get some experience with this method, monkey. Although it is difficult to become holy, it is very easy to achieve Daluo! However, if you learn this method, you will inherit the door of the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable. In the future, if it is discovered by other saints, it will inevitably be hated. ”
"I have already used the supreme supernatural power to stop the time and space here, and the Dao Law has obscured it. Coupled with the impending catastrophe, the heavens are chaotic. It is expected that other saints will not be able to find it. But you must hide it in the future, and don't reveal this "Hongmeng" Dao. You can't even claim to be a disciple of Lingbao Tianzun, so as not to cause disaster. I will lower the ban so that others will not be able to hear the reason for this. Of course, you can't teach it to anyone else!
Patriarch Bodhi's voice sounded one after another, making Jiang Chen feel more and more solemn.
