Volume 1 The Backs of Gods and Demons Chapter 5 The Difficulty of Lust and the Distinction Between Immortals
Xiao Jushan's cold has not healed, and he often coughs up blood, and his body is thin and difficult to practice martial arts. In addition, Tianzhu's partners always bullied him, and throughout the day, he only read some Buddhism, Taoism and Confucian classics, except for practicing the Honey Sect and Yoga Jiu-Jitsu, which were not too laborious, just sticking to the master, either asking things, or asking about the length of the matter.
On that day, Jushan heard Senior Brother Ma Ming talk about the absurd things that Nagarjuna had in the palace back then, and mentioned the mysterious stealth technique, so he came to ask Nagarjuna to teach him. Although this technique is not a great supernatural power, it often leads people to the evil path, and Nagarjuna has never been secret. Of course, this was just what he said to his disciples, in fact, the most important potion recipe for the stealth technique had long been lost, and although he could smell the medicinal herbs back then, he didn't know the proportion, so naturally he couldn't teach it.
However, Nagarjuna remembered that the mountain was weak and sickly and that his life was short, and he could not bear to disobey him, so he gave him the last bottle of potion left by the warlock. Nagarjuna also made him swear not to use this technique to do evil, but in order for it to work, he still needs one more thing as a medicine, and that is the rare Grimace Crystal Orchid, which is said to be a thing of the Ghost Realm.
Jushan laughed: "What kind of evil can this stealth technique do?" ”
Nagarjuna took out the two dry grimace crystal orchids, pondered for a while, and said, "You are so greedy and delicious, let's wait until you are older to give it to you, lest you run to the wrong toilet, then the reputation of our master and apprentice will be ruined." ”
"Didn't your old man see through the world's fame?" Giant Mountain Road.
"Just because you see through it doesn't mean you don't care! When you grow up, don't follow the master and go to the palace to mess around, and I will be 'Amitabha'." Nagarjuna Road.
"I don't do that kind of thing. The love between men and women comes from their own hearts, how can a twisted melon be sweet? "Giant Mountain Road.
"You're still young, you'll know when the time comes, it's hard to lust, it's hard to go to the sky!" Nagarjuna sighed.
"Master, since you are lustful, you might as well be vulgar, right? There are so many women outside, but you are as guarded as jade, isn't it a pity? Jushan teased.
"What do you know little chicks? The affairs of men and women are the best way in the world, and no matter what great monk he is, as long as he is a human being, he still retains the reality of this crippled body, and it is difficult to break through his lust. How many cultivators have been diligently fighting against lust for decades, and I heard that there is also a martial arts secret book "Sunflower Treasure Book" in Middle-earth to teach people to cut off the roots of dust and cut off the fate of evil, which is too cruel...... But I don't demand, between this broken and unbroken, you have the Yin and Yang double cultivation of the room in the door, and the Confucian Confucian sage saw the beauty Nanzi and had a desire for love! But he's polite, and I'm the same, just to see? Nagarjuna Road.
"Hehe, Master, I think you are 'not for nothing, you can't either'? I have heard my brothers say that twenty is like an iron rod, thirty is like a pine branch, forty is like French fries, fifty is like a mushroom, and sixty is like a noodle...... An old man like you, who is hundreds of years old, can only look at it! Jushan smiled, before the words fell, there was a "snap", and the little head was hit with a ruler.
Nagarjuna chirped: "You kid don't learn well, who did you learn these meat words, what kind of mess is this!" It must have been taught you by Ma Ming's old virgin obscenity, right? Your master is always old, but he is old and strong, hard as iron! Jushan was beaten to grin his teeth, and he didn't dare to talk about it anymore.
This is a lesson that everyone should remember, you can laugh at a man's learning, martial arts, or wealth, or birth, but if you say that he can't do it, then you will be beaten.
Nagarjuna rubbed his head and said with a smile: "If you pursue lust, then the merry and happy thing is just a shake of the body, and everything is calm in an instant—entering the so-called 'sage mode' is only a passing cloud after all...... But if you practice, then it will be a lifetime of endless challenges and joys, how can it be compared to that 'instant happiness'? ”
"I don't think I have to endure so hard, just let it be, and be happy without lewdness?" Giant Mountain Road.
"Go with the flow, yes, it seems that you were born with a Dao heart. I heard that most of the immortals in the Dao Gate have no desires and no desires, and most of them can't do the things of men and women, but if they cultivate the Fa and break through what they call 'Desire Peak' - they become golden immortals, and they can return to the room and go up to the god level. Nagarjuna said with a look of fascination.
"Hehe, this is a return to the basics, and it can be returned from Shinto to humanity." Jushan laughed.
Nagarjuna nodded slowly, this is a great desire of human beings, knowing that it is useless to say more, on the road of cultivation, the so-called "difficulty of lust is difficult to go to the sky", it is not something that can be preached in words, only by his future practice and comprehension.
"Master, are you an immortal?" Jushan asked.
"Do you need to ask? Obviously not, if I were, wouldn't I have cured you of this little illness a long time ago? Nagarjuna Road.
"You can change, you can fly on the mountain, the Dharma is profound, in addition to being a woman, you are also morally rigorous, how can you not be a god? So what exactly is God? The giant mountain was puzzled.
"Actually, I didn't really change, I just relied on the blood tooth fungus soaked in jade liquid, that thing was highly poisonous, what did it change, and many times I couldn't help it! To put it bluntly, it's just a mutation of poisonous mushrooms. However, in addition to the beast gods, the changes of the gods also consume a lot of divine energy, and they are not changed at will. Nagarjuna couldn't help but feel a little stunned when he thought of the tragic changes on Lhotse Peak in the Great Snow Mountain that day, and his years of cultivation had stagnated since then. But looking down at the child he saved, there was a burst of warmth in his heart, but he never regretted it.
"The Sun Dasheng you talked about who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace heard that there are seventy-two changes, he can always change at will!" Jushan asked.
"He should be half beast and half human, and he should also consume divine power, and in the end, he will refine jade to replenish divine power. For example, like a big ...... (Note: He wanted to talk about the Roc, and it stirred up his painful memories again) the elephant god Ganesh, who transformed into an elephant, would be effortless. Nagarjuna Road.
Actually, most of the gods are not great, and many of them don't necessarily have the skills I have. It's just that generally speaking, you go through a cycle of life and death, and then you go to the immortal record and have an immortal book in the heavenly realm, so that you can be regarded as a so-called immortal in the world! Nagarjuna laughed.
"No wonder Master, you haven't changed much! Then you are not an immortal in the sky, but also an immortal on the earth, right? "Giant Mountain Road.
"If it's as Middle-earth says, it's barely half a scattered immortal." Nagarjuna Road.
"What else is there besides the Scattered Immortals?" Jushan asked again.
"Their Heavenly Court Dao Gate is similar to Lingshan, dividing the immortals into scattered immortals, lower immortals, upper immortals, and golden immortals. Only the scattered immortals have immortal records but no immortal records, just like the laymen who help in this temple; The lower immortals, the upper immortals, and the golden immortals ascended in turn, and they had both immortal records and immortal records. Nagarjuna Road.
"Is there an immortal book or not, and what is the difference? If there is no immortal book, there must be no one to govern it, isn't it free? "Giant Mountain Road.
"Hehe, freedom comes at a price! Perhaps freedom is the most expensive thing in the world. The scattered immortals of the heavenly court heard that there is no jade and no jade, and the immortals have no jade, just like you eat without salt, then you will be weak. I've heard that many of them are sharpening their heads and want to be incorporated into the immortal book and become a lower immortal! Nagarjuna laughed.
"The Daomen is divided into scattered immortals, lower immortals, upper immortals, and a few golden immortals, what about the Lingshan Buddhist Gate? How many great monks have come to you to ask you about the Dharma, why don't they give you the ascension to immortality? The giant mountain was puzzled.
"Well, that's not my wisdom. Lingshan Buddhism is also roughly similar, they are divided into arhats, lower Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and upper Buddhas. The third-class arhats and second-class arhats are the same as the scattered immortals in Middle-earth, there is no fixed jade and stone money, only some small annual rituals; The first class of arhats will have a fixed jade and stone of the upper rank, the lower Buddha is divided into three classes, the Bodhisattva is divided into three classes, and the upper Buddha is divided into three classes. Nagarjuna Road.
"It's complicated! So what exactly is a god? Why can't everyone become immortals? Presumably, there are too many monks and less porridge, and there is not enough jade. "Giant Mountain Road.
Nagarjuna was shocked: this child's words were to the point. He asked rhetorically, "Then what do you think is a god?" ”
Jushan thought for a while and said, "Then the one who can fly is the immortal!" The one who fights is the gods! Those who can't die are immortals! ”
Nagarjuna smiled: "What you said is also true, but do you think that sparrow is also a god?" ”
Jushan said again: "Those who can fly are gods!" ”
Nagarjuna said: "It's not that those who can fly are gods, and many birdmen are not gods; And those who can't fly are not necessarily not gods, for example, there are Tuxing Sun who are good at escaping in the middle of the earth, and the eight dragon kings of the Tianzhu Sea are not very good at flying. ”
"It seems that it is not easy to become a god!" The mountain sighed.
Nagarjuna suddenly felt that this question was not simple, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly replied: "Man and God are not fundamentally different. Their souls are all circulating in the Three Realms, and people will die in a hundred years, and gods will die in ten thousand years. It's just that God has seen through the heavens, knows how to avoid the three calamities and eight tribulations, and knows that internal cultivation and taking jade, immortal fruits, and elixirs can prolong life, and the soul of God is consistent; People are different, most people's souls and seven spirits will be scattered and reorganized, so it is difficult for people to maintain the unity of the soul for thousands of years, but God can, even if they die, the soul can maintain unity and independence for thousands of years. If a person has a continuous continuity of an independent soul after death, we call him divine. ”
"And what is the demon?" Jushan asked again.
Seeing that Jushan looked ignorant, Nagarjuna smiled and said: "God is actually a person with divine nature, and demons are actually bird and beast clans with something similar to divine nature—demonic nature, and demons are just more powerful demons."
"The first attribute of divinity is lifespan, the second attribute is strength, and the third attribute is speed. If a person does not die at a certain age, then he has the first attribute of God - longevity; If this person continues to cultivate and has a power that surpasses that of mortals, he can not only crack the stele and crack the stone, but also have the power of tens of millions of catties, such as the former demon king Monkey King, then he has the second attribute of God - strength; If this person continues to cultivate, can run like flying, fast as lightning, or soar through the clouds and mist, fly to the sky, and probably have the ability to travel thousands of miles a day, then he has the third attribute of the god - speed. If a person surpasses these three indicators of divinity of ordinary immortals, then he is a god. ”
Jushan seemed to understand and said: "That is, there is no strict difference between demons and beasts, but the beasts that have a 'demonic nature' similar to divinity are demons. ”
Nagarjuna smiled, "Not bad. ”
"In this way, in fact, I am also a god, and I am also a human being, but my divinity is too weak, and the divine light of Nyolai is too strong, obscuring his humanity. If he is not diligent in cultivating, he will degenerate into a mortal, but if I am diligent in cultivating, I can also become a great god! Is that so? "Giant Mountain Road.
Nagarjuna touched the little head of the giant mountain and said happily: "Yes, the son can be taught." ”
"It's just that the immortals of various sects and sects also need to refine jade to improve the pure qi and repel the turbid qi. And the mountains and rivers are different, and the jade endowment is also different, most of the great gods of the Middle Earth Daomen are pure hearts and few desires, while our Tianzhu Brahmins can't help but want to, and also encourage double cultivation! Nagarjuna Road.
"Isn't that who has more jade and whose mana is greater?" Giant Mountain Road.
Nagarjuna was taken aback, and secretly said in his heart: This remark is a bit sharp, straight to the point, and the child's words are unscrupulous! Now all the gods are for jade, alas, they really show their magical powers, and some of the means are really breathtaking!
"I can't say that ——,, but the gods have their own means of collecting jade." Nagarjuna sighed.
"In this way, God really has nothing to offer, I just envy them for crisscrossing the heavens and the earth, not hindered by the law, free and easy, what a pleasure!" The mountains are leisurely and fascinating.
"Hehe, if you think so, then you really think too much! God is not free...... God's troubles are not less! Nagarjuna smiled bitterly, "Many of the immortals I know are not as good as people living freely!" ”
"Since gods also have so many troubles, why do everyone want to ascend to immortals and become gods?" Giant Mountain Road.
"Look at that ant, although it lived a short life, it was also a busy and fulfilling life, and it was not necessarily bad...... But if people accidentally walk over, they will trample to death, and their lives will come to an abrupt end. Nagarjuna raised his finger at an ant, "You see, he must live by my mercy, and if I were not a merciful man, all his possibilities for the future, even the possibility of becoming the king of the ant kingdom, would be wiped out by me in an instant!" ”
"Oh, yes, everyone doesn't want to be for fish, but for knives. Master, this is not a bad thing, fight for the first! "Giant Mountain Road.
Nagarjuna looked at the mountain and smiled without saying a word.
"Master, since I can't enter the Brahmanical sect, and I'm not a disciple of your Buddhism, then I'll go and ask the immortals in the future!" Jushan thought for a moment and said.
Nagarjuna turned his head to look at the white clouds under the mountain, and said leisurely: "It's okay if you don't become an immortal." Confucius of Middle-earth once said: The benevolent are not worried, the knowing are not confused, and the brave are not afraid. As long as you do one of them, this life will not be in vain. If you do all three, then I am more pleased than you being a fairy! ”
