Chapter 40: On Immortals
"Oh, human immortals, immortals cultivated by people, this body is still in the mortal dust, but there is no disease and no disaster, and death and life are prolonged, even if it is a human immortal?" asked Piao Ranzi.
"Yes, so there are many immortals in the world. Zhang Tianshi said.
"Is it that the Fire Dwelling Taoist can cultivate human immortals?"
"Not necessarily. Huoju Taoists can also cultivate into heavenly immortals, and Quanzhen Taoists may not cultivate into immortals, but also depend on the foundation, understanding, chance, and so on. If a human immortal cultivates upward, he is an earth immortal. Zhang Tianshi talked to Piao Ranzi again.
The immortals of the earth, who have their lives and stay in the world, do not leave the earth; cold and heat do not invade, hunger and thirst are not hurt, although they cannot get out of the spirit, but they can avoid the burden of food and clothing; it is the acquired body to return to the innate roots, return to the original and return to the roots, return to the roots, concentrate on energy, and live forever. It is also the road of unenlightenment, stopping at the law of small success, not seeing the results, and the Dharma body is difficult to escape, it is still tired of the phantom body, but it is just not dead in the world.
"Oh, does that mean that the Earth Immortal is one level higher than the Human Immortal?, can it avoid cold and heat, and endure hunger and thirst?" asked Piao Ranzi.
"That's right. The earth immortals cannot fly from the ground, but they can live forever, and they are not burdened by cold and heat, hunger and thirst, and they are always in the world, happy and happy. Zhang Tianshi said.
"So, what do they eat and wear?"
"Learn the art of barging, you don't have to eat. Concentrate your energy and learn the living exercises, why worry about the cold and heat? There are many scattered immortals on land, and there is not much difference between these human immortals and earth immortals. It's just that the earth immortals, people can cultivate, and the five insects of Zhou Tian can also cultivate. ”
"May I ask where there are no insects?"
"The five insects, the five categories of ducks, scales, hair, feathers, and kun, include all the animals of Zhou Tian. There are also some plants that can also be cultivated into spirits, these ones, if you concentrate on cultivation, you can become earth immortals, and even cultivate human gods and become immortals. Zhang Tianshi said. Then he talked about the gods.
As soon as you arrive at the immortals, you can have magical changes, advance and retreat freely, break away from the body, float independently, disperse into qi, and gather into shape. Most of them are made of the earth immortals, the inner Dan, the outer Dan, the practice of forming qi, the five qi Chaoyuan, scattered flowers and gathering the top, the merit is full of forgetfulness, the fetal immortal is self-transformed; no yin and pure yang, there is a body outside the body, and then by the three talismans, practice the three caves of the Qing Dynasty, fly the clouds and go to the fog, avoid the three disasters and eight difficulties, come and go without hindrance, dequality and ascend to the immortal, transcendent and holy, refuse the worldly, this is the immortal.
"Oh, oh, oh. Piao Ranzi only nodded when he heard it, this immortal is so good!"I don't know how many immortals there are?
"What do you say?" Zhang Tianshi asked with a smile.
"Listening to what you said, it doesn't seem to be easy to cultivate. Piaoranzi shook his head.
"It has never been easy to get immortals, and it is very difficult to escape from death. Zhang Tianshi said. "Throughout the ages, it has been even more difficult to become an immortal. You see, human immortals, earth immortals, the body is difficult to get rid of, so they can only stay in the world, but the immortals are different, the body can soar in the daytime, not reborn, can not be thought of. ”
"So, are there many immortals?"
"It's a lot, it's not a lot. To say less, not much. How much is inconclusive. In the cycle of life and death, there are many people who have cultivated in one life, and they have accumulated for thousands of years, and there are many people, but if you want to say that there are people in one life, hundreds of millions of people, and those who have cultivated to become immortals, how many people can there be?"
"I know, although it's difficult to cultivate, there are still people who go to cultivate. ”
"You must know that the foundation, understanding, chance, etc. are still small things, and you must have perseverance and perseverance. Han Zhongli Du Lu Chunyang, once tried ten times, that is, my cultivation, why didn't I go through hardships? My disciple Zhao Sheng also went through seven tests. ”
"Well, then, the immortals are so difficult to cultivate, like a high mountain, how can you practice upward?"
"Immortals are only a middle-level level in the immortal realm, and there are heavenly immortals above. Listen to you. Zhang Tianshi said.
Heavenly immortals must be cultivated by the immortals, preaching to the world: there is merit on the road, there are deeds in the world, merit is satisfied, and the book of heaven exceeds the three realms for 28 days, and the phantom body becomes the Dharma body, without birth and death, beyond the creation and transformation, and lives with the sky. In terms of cultivation, it is necessary to refine nine and seven returns to the Great Returning Pill, and to become a vajra incorruptible body, hundreds of billions of incarnations, looming and unpredictable, although it has been passed down from one to another after thousands of catastrophes, this is the way of the immortals.
"Oh, this is the Immortals, it's amazing!" Piao Ranzi exclaimed. "Is it an immortal who can go to heaven, that is, a heavenly immortal?"
"Definitely!" Zhang Tianshi said. "Some immortals have magical powers enough to go to heaven and earth, but they have not yet completed their deeds, and they cannot be called immortals. ”
"What you said is so mysterious, which ones are immortals?"
"Hehehe, there are many, many people, now there are countless Heavenly Court Heavenly Immortals, as long as you worship under the Sanqing Patriarch, you will also be able to rank in the Heavenly Immortal Class in the future. ”
"May I ask Senior Brother, are you an immortal?"
"This, my deeds are not yet complete, and I dare not call myself a heavenly immortal. "Zhang Tianshi is a humble remark, of course Piao Ranzi can hear it. Let me tell you about the heavenly immortals, such as the Ten Directions Tianzun, the Three Officials Emperor, the Zhenwu Emperor, the Dongyue Emperor, the Antarctic Immortal Weng, the Wenchang Emperor, the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Stars, the Seventy-two Earth Evil Stars, the Twenty-eight Nights, the Five Dipper Star Officials, as well as the Heavenly Palace Shuai, the Twenty-four Heavenly Monarchs of the Thunder Department, etc., in short, the subordinates of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Palace are basically Heavenly Immortals. ”
"Ahh
"Most of them are sealed by the three sects, and some of them have gone through thousands of eons and have accumulated from immortals to become immortals. ”
"So, Taishang Laojun and Jade Emperor are also immortals?"
"Of course they are, but their merit is higher than that of the Heavenly Immortals, so they should be regarded as Da Luo Jin Immortals. ”
"What, is there anything higher than the Heavenly Immortals?"
"It's not higher than the Heavenly Immortals. Only those who are outstanding among the heavenly immortals can cultivate into the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Above the Three Realms is the Four Brahmas, the places where the immortals dwell. On top of the four Brahmas, there are also four heavens in the holy realm, which includes the three clear realms: the Taiqing realm of the Great Red Heaven, the Shangqing realm of Yu Yutian, and the Yuqing realm of Qingweitian. Above these three days, it is the highest place of the Holy Realm, Da Luo Tian!"
"So, Da Luo Jin Immortal is the Heavenly Immortal among the Heavenly Immortals?" Piao Ranzi said his understanding.
"Yes, that's what it means. To cultivate immortals, you must cultivate Da Luo Immortals. There are still many layers of barriers to ranking as Heavenly Immortals, and if you want to rank as Great Luo Golden Immortals, wouldn't it be even more difficult?"
"Haha, what Senior Brother said is out of reach, may I ask, how many Great Luo Golden Immortals are there in Heavenly Court?"
"Well, it's not much. In addition to the three Qings and the four royals, there are also five parties without Laojun. There are three more, and they can also be regarded as Da Luo Jinxian. ”
"What, there's still a count?"
"Yes, one is the Queen Mother, thinking that it is the Eastern Prince, these two people have already been the enlightened Da Luo Jinxian. There is also the Tongtian Sect Master, he was originally a disciple of Hongjun Patriarch, in charge of Biyou Palace, and stayed in the Three Realms, but he is also profound. ”
"So that's fifteen. The Da Luo Jin Immortal you are talking about, for me, it is extremely far away. I 、、、、、、、" Piao Ranzi didn't go on.
Zhang Tianshi understood what he meant, for him, the matter of immortals was already very slim, and for the ghost of Piao Ranzi, let alone any heavenly immortals and Da Luo Jin Immortals.
"Then I'll talk about ghosts and immortals. Zhang Tianshi said, this, maybe it can arouse Piao Ranzi's interest.
Ghosts and immortals are cultivated from the yin ghosts, although they do not leave the ordinary ghosts, but they can be psychic and survive for a long time, which is different from the ordinary ghosts: the yin god is also out of the sex. This ghost immortal is the lowest of the five kinds of immortals. Detachment in the yin, unknown statues, the nature of vacuum, extreme knowledge of the future, out of the yin god and autopsy, do not fall into evil taste. The ghost pass has no surname, and the three mountains have no name. Although it does not enter reincarnation, it is difficult to return to Pengying, and there is no way to return to it, so it stops at reincarnation.
"Senior brother, then it's not easy to cultivate the immortals among ghosts?" Piao Ranzi listened for a long time, knew the general idea, and asked.
"Not bad. There are countless evil ghosts, but there are very few immortals among the ghosts. ”
"You see that my ghost body can only be cultivated to be a ghost immortal?"
"No," Zhang Tianshi said. "Historically, the heavenly immortals have been cultivated from human immortals and earth immortals to immortals, and then to heavenly immortals. There are almost no cultivators from ghosts and immortals. I see that you have an excellent foundation, and you have been in Buddhism for thousands of years, and you have cultivated immortals from ghosts and immortals, and I don't know. ”
"Senior brother, don't fool me about my happiness!" Piao Ranzi smiled. "Ghost immortals are the lowest level, how easy it is to cultivate into heavenly immortals!"
"No, no, no!" Zhang Tianshi said. "Senior brother has his own way, as long as you enter my door, you will ascend from a ghost immortal to a heavenly immortal in the future, maybe it will be the first one in the past!"
