Chapter 19: The Art of the Pot
At night, Changlan City was lively again.
The disappearance of the population for several nights in a row made the prefect furious, and all the officials and rooms of the government were like facing the abyss.
Under the pressure layer by layer, to the implementation level, it directly developed into fireworks all over the city.
The huge Changlan City, for a time, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry.
Patrol soldiers, all over the streets and alleys.
In this noisy atmosphere, in the courtyard of a private house in the west of the city, Mo Chuan and the abbot of Tianbao sat around the table.
There was also a Taoist priest with the name of Yiqian.
This man is about fifty years old, with a wide face and big ears, a dense beard, and always holding a jade wat in his hand.
According to the abbot of Tianbao, the righteous Taoist priest is quite famous in the Jinzhou area, and he worships the secret method of fighting with the truth with one hand, and kills countless demons and demons.
When I came to Changlan City, I had the intention to build a view and establish a faction, so I was very concerned about the things that were troubled by the spirits in the city.
After all, if you can know that the government favors you, you will get twice the result with half the effort!
At this time, there was an endless hustle and bustle outside the hospital, and the three old gods in the courtyard were there, tasting tea and talking.
Abbot Tianbao was obviously very interested in Master Fuluan Guanzu.
Between the words, there is a lot of inquiry.
Mo Chuan is not good at asking three questions, so he can only answer selectively.
Even so, it still amazed the abbot of Tianbao.
Especially for the scene of "Void Sword", he repeatedly asked and analyzed the details.
After a long time, he sighed:
"The old man heard that there is a saying in the Daomen: There is a law in the Tao, and there is a technique in the law, which will not change for the rest of the world! It seems that Master Fuluan Guan is not an ordinary ghost! ”
Mo Chuan's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the mage, is there anything special about this?" ”
"Lao Wei is not a person in the Daomen, and he only hears about the affairs of the Daomen, how dare he dare to get an axe?"
The abbot of Tianbao looked at the righteous Taoist priest.
Seeing this, Mo Chuan immediately bowed his hand to the Yiqian Taoist priest and asked, "Can you teach me?" ”
The righteous Taoist priest obviously knew that "Mo Chuan" was heeling.
It is also known that he was born as a Taoist boy in Yunjiguan, and he seems to be a handful of age, but in fact, his knowledge and experience are not as good as those of rural Taoists.
Thinking about the long night, I simply chatted.
Anyway, it's just some basic knowledge of Taoism, so it's okay for everyone to know it.
But it is said that the Tao Te Ching says:
Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.
All kinds of spells in the Dao Gate are derived from the Dao.
It can be said: ever-changing, all laws are one.
What the Daomen seeks is the way where all laws are one.
Also known as: Daoguo.
In other words, the Tao is the foundation, the Dharma is the branch, and the art is the end.
Among the many Taoist techniques, the seventy-two techniques of earth shattering are the most famous:
One of them is a technique called:
【Pot Days】
- Kona Sumeru is in mustard seeds.
It is rumored that when cultivating to the Mahayana realm, you can hide the universe in your sleeve and store the sun and moon in your palm.
Master Fuluan can take a sword out of thin air, and he should have mastered this Taoist technique.
This means that Master Fuluan is very likely to have obtained a Taoist inheritance.
This is also the true meaning of what the abbot of Tianbao said, "There is a law in the way, and there is a law in the law".
Of course, this is just the speculation of the abbot of Tianbao.
However, even so, Mo Chuan was still extremely weak after listening to it!
'This is a big deal!' ’
For a while, he was a little worried about the future.
As the saying goes: if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster.
He only hopes that Fuluan Lao Dao can be cautious and not cause trouble.
After chatting about Taoism, Mo Chuan inquired about the method of cultivation again.
It must be known that the same Dao technique, in the hands of monks of different realms, naturally has completely different powers.
Just like the art of the pot of heaven, it is not mastered by the monks, and at most some personal objects are hidden;
If it is a powerful cultivator, it can open up a cave and create a world.
Facing Mo Chuan's inquiry, Daoist Yiqian shook his head:
"The Tao Te Ching has a saying, the avenue is good, the law is tempting, the thousands of doors are refined, the heart is cultivated, and the heavens are three thousand, choose one to do. The cultivation method of the Daomen is as vast as the stars, it is difficult to say, it is difficult to say. ”
Mo Chuan had the heart to ask about the "Secret Method of Worshipping the Truth" he practiced, and after thinking about it carefully, he still forgot it.
Taoism pays attention to inheritance, how can it be easy to teach the law?
Unless he apprentices to others!
He didn't care about this, he was just afraid that the righteous Taoist priests would not accept it.
While his thoughts were circulating, he simply asked Abbot Tianbao about Buddhism again.
"What? Do you want to switch to Buddhism? ”
"Can't you?"
"Hahaha, it's all practice, why not? Zen Buddhism can lead the Buddha into the Tao. Friends of the Tao, it is not impossible to lead the Tao into the Buddha. Perhaps, this is also one of the three thousand avenues of Tianyan. ”
The abbot of Tianbao had a meaningful face.
Mo Chuan's heart moved, and he faintly guessed the meaning of the abbot of Tianbao, afraid that he had a little bit of a peek at the meaning of the Yunji Observation Dao Law.
"I don't know how to practice this Dharma?" Mo Chuan asked, not seeing the rabbit and not scattering the eagle.
"It depends on what kind of sex the Taoist friend is?"
"Caste?" Mo Chuan subconsciously thought of the third brother.
"Buddhism is boundless, and it only crosses people who are destined."
Under the explanation of the abbot of Tianbao, Mo Chuan finally sorted out the outline of the Buddha.
Unlike the Daomen, there are 3,000 avenues to choose from.
The Buddha wants to cultivate the Dharma Body, which has five natures, namely:
The caste of ordinary people, the caste of sound-hearing karma, the caste of bodhisattvas, the caste of nyorai, and the caste of the outer path.
Species determines the future fruit!
For example, the bodhisattva caste, the bodhisattva with the highest fruition.
However, the abbot of Tianbao also said that the caste can be transformed with the advancement of Buddhism.
Mo Chuan asked what kind of sex the abbot of Tianbao was?
Abbot Tianbao replied: Ordinary caste.
Yes, this so-called caste transformation is not a comforting word! Even if it weren't, it would probably be as difficult as it would be.
Back to business.
After determining the species, it can be "first fruited".
There are two directions here: "Hinayana into concentration" and "Mahayana into concentration".
Hinayana stops at the Arhat fruit level.
Mahayana, that's amazing, you can practice Buddha.
However, Mahayana is not so easy to cultivate.
The restriction of caste nature is one of them, and when you cultivate to the ten positions, you have to go back to the small to the large, and then you have to cultivate the Hinayana level, which is extremely complicated.
The more Mo Chuan listened, the bigger his head became, thinking, let's still cultivate!
However, he still asked: "Dare to ask the mage, what is the poor caste?" ”
"Alien caste!"
Mo Chuan was stunned when he heard this.
"Lengyan Sutra" has a saying: Contrary to the Yuantong, the back of Nirvana City, and the birth of foreign Taoism.
In other words, being inspired by the upside down world to become an immortal caste, he was born in an outer realm and lost his Bodhi path.
In other words, this is a caste that is completely insulated from the Dharma.
"So, the poor path will never be able to cultivate Buddha?" Mo Chuan asked unwillingly.
"Daoists are cultivating the Tao, so they are naturally alien Daoists." The abbot of Tianbao means something.
Mo Chuan nodded, lost in thought.
There's a trap in that, huh?
At first glance, the reason why he is a layman is because he is cultivating.
It seemed to imply that if he stopped cultivating, he would be able to get rid of the alien caste!
But is that really the case?
Could it be that the abbot did not dare to break the precepts and lie, so he told lies with the truth?
"I have a volume of visualization maps, which can prolong life, and Taoist friends can observe it diligently."
Abbot Tianbao changed the topic and sent a scroll of visualization diagrams.
Mo Chuan took it and was about to open it, when the abbot of Tianbao stretched out his hand and pressed it:
"What's important at hand!"
Mo Chuan bowed his head, pressed down the curiosity in his heart, put away the visualization map, and hid it in his arms.
The moonlight is like water, and the stars are shining.
Mo Chuan and the three of them tasted tea and discussed, but Luo Feibai, who was waiting not far away, became more and more anxious.
He waited for a long time, and saw that the three of them stopped talking slightly, so he hurriedly approached and asked, "Master Dao, there is no movement in the middle of the night, but do you want Luo to go out to investigate?" ”
The subtext of this is to ask, "Why hasn't the spirit come yet?" ”
Mo Chuan was about to appease, but the abbot of Tianbao stroked his beard and said, "It's here!" ”
Luo Feibai suddenly raised his head, and his right hand subconsciously clenched the handle of the horse chopping knife!
