Chapter 15: What to Practice?

The red glow in the air enveloped a woman about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a face like jade, and an otherworldly temperament.

After some inquiry, a divine light wrapped in a divine light, leading everyone to fly quickly in the air, about half an hour of flying, when the sky was almost dark, before leaving this primeval forest.

Although Ji Tian has overcome the horror of witnessing life and death in his soul at this time, he still foresees his death all the time, which still makes Ji Tian feel no better.

The face above the bronze coffin and the glow confusion is calm, more like a kind of confidence, as long as the planned path is not wrong, there is basically no big danger, but now that he sees a death that seems to be fate, Ji Tian understands the psychology of the forbidden area supreme a little.

This kind of witness to the impermanence of life and death, and the cycle of life and death, can be used as a test of one's own state of mind to verify one's Dao mind. ’

'If it is up to me to take my life, I can plant a golden lotus in the fire.' ’

Reciting this poem in my heart, there is no pride, just a natural realization, a kind of struggle that mortals cannot get rid of the sea of suffering, they must take their destiny into their own hands, and break free from their destiny in impermanence, in order to truly live freely, otherwise they are just a speck of dust in the sea of suffering in the world.

He is only a mortal, just living for the sake of living. ’

……

"Why are you dressed so weirdly?"

"Why do you have such short hair?"

"You are all mortals, why did you stray into the Ancient Forbidden Land?"

“……”

In the brightly lit hall, several old people kept asking questions, and they seemed to be very concerned about these questions.

Everyone listens more and talks less, and the less they talk, the fewer flaws they have, but Ji Tian is not smart, the answer is for these people to make up for themselves, after all, what people believe in the most is themselves, and what people like to deceive the most is themselves.

Soon, several Dongtian monks rushed over to compete for cultivation seedlings, don't think that there are many people who can cultivate, in fact, the vast majority of people are not qualified to sense the sea of bitterness in their lifetime, let alone open up the sea of suffering to cultivate.

And some mortals who desperately strive to gain the possibility of a cultivation have actually surpassed many people.

Then Ye Fan detected the Desolate Ancient Holy Body, which was a waste body of this era, which made people feel sorry.

In the end, Ji Tian thought about it, and joined the Lingxu Cave Heaven with Pang Bo, Ye Fan and others, although the rest of the monks of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land persuaded him, but Ji Tian was firm-minded, and these people gave up with pity.

……

"It's a really nice environment." Ji Tian said with emotion.

"Those cranes and spirit beasts don't know if they can be called to eat." Pombo's attention turned elsewhere.

It was only a few dozen days when he came to Dongtian, and Pang Bo was a vegetarian every day, and his mouth was light.

But Ji Tian was at ease, and at night he was directly in bed and fell into a state of concentration.

Ji Tian is washing his soul and sorting out the messy inner realm of his soul little by little.

Sometimes we go directly into the sea of the mind, tracing back to the fundamental origin of the mind and consciousness again and again.

His thoughts and minds were parsed little by little, and some thoughts were also identified by Ji Tian using the created mental symbols, turning them into an algorithm.

The algorithm of the mind integrates the Buddhist scriptures and the principles of the Book of Changes, and the four stages of the human mind and thoughts are raised, thought, extinguished, and after. Corresponding to the formation of dwelling and the destruction of emptiness, it can also be expressed as the four images of less yang, sun, less yin, and too yin, and use this basic symbol to study the spiritual world.

In this way, Ji Tian constantly traced the root of the mind, decomposed the mental composition, and some defects in the mental personality were also found and improved by Ji Tian with subtle and leakless mental algorithms.

Ji Tian has been looking for the basic laws of the spiritual world, although he has initially explored a new and vast field on the road, but Ji Tian has not the slightest anxiety and impatience.

In this way, I settled in the journey of cultivating the mind, and although no one taught the principles of cultivation, I found it interesting and joyful to explore and decipher the world of the mind all the time.

In the process of combing the mind, although we are always faced with the impermanence of life and death, and the sense of threat of the end of life, these are no longer bothering us, but can be faced with peace and turned into motivation to study hard, because the so-called urgency is of no use at all, but will damage concentration and wisdom.

Cultivating the mind in this way, although he has not yet entered the door of cultivation, Ji Tian's temperament has a dusty appearance, as if no matter how the red dust rolls around, it is natural and immovable.

Although Ji Tian enjoys this peaceful environment and enjoys the joy of exploring the spiritual world, tracing the origin of the soul again and again, ordinary people's hearts may directly fall into dead silence, unable to return to their original hearts, and their hearts will directly dissipate. But Ji Tian has a reincarnation background, not only does he not feel fear, but he has the pleasure of death.

"Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are only with me."

Ji Tian wandered in the low mountains, feeling the rhythm between heaven and earth, and sometimes encountered high-quality soul particles, and he would also collect them to understand the Dao rhyme contained in the soul particles.

In his future spiritual evolution method, soul particles are likely to be a very important puzzle piece, with the help of soul particles, Ji Tian can easily communicate with the information flow between heaven and earth.

At this time, Ye Fan and Pang Bo have never encountered a little bit of meat, although Ye Fan and Pang Bo are not meatless and unhappy on the earth, but they have a meal for three or five days, and now they are so bland, which makes them difficult to accept for a while.

And at this moment, an old man with crane hair and a childish face and fairy wind bones appeared in the low mountain.

"Looks like you can't wait."

Riding the wind satisfies mortals' fantasies about cultivators.

"You are?" Ye Fan Pangbo asked suspiciously.

"I am an elder of the Lingxu Cave Heaven, my name is Wu Qingfeng, and the disciples within three years of my introduction are all taught by me."

"I've seen the old man." The three of them saluted respectfully.

"You're welcome." Wu Qingfeng is very calm and peaceful.

Pang Bo proposed the idea of improving the food, but Wu Qingfeng rejected it.

Then Pang Bo put forward the things he was most concerned about in his cultivation, in fact, Ji Tian was also very concerned, using his mind to observe the body every day, and constantly adjusting the body to the most harmonious and relaxed state, just to prepare for the practice.

"Do you see that the sky is clean?" Wu Qingfeng didn't say anything about the theorem of the law of cultivation, but first said an irrelevant word.

"The sky is cloudless, the sky is clear, and it is naturally clean."

"Wrong, the dust is endless." Wu Qingfeng opened his palm: "Even in this palm, there is endless dust." ”

"You...... What do you mean? Pombo was a little confused.

Ji Tian was touched by what Wu Qingfeng said.

"What do you think this Endless Dust is?"

"What can it be, it is naturally dust."

"It's dust, it's not dust." The old man said calmly.

"It's dust, I understand, what is it if it's not dust?" Pombo asked.

"It's the world, it's a vast world." The old man Wu Qingfeng is light and breezy, and he is very natural and calm when he speaks.

Ji Tian nodded, very much in agreement. This is similar to the flower and the world, the leaf and the Bodhi.

The so-called world is essentially the conjunction, but there is no such thing as the conjunction.

Buddhism has a hypothesis that the world is made up of earth, water, wind, and fire.

The so-called earth is tangible and qualitative, water is qualitative and intangible, wind is qualitative and formless, and fire is qualitative and tangible. These four concepts of things rotate and merge, and thus form the world.

And the basic concept of mote and the composition of the world is essentially the same thing, there is no difference.

And the basic concept is essentially the truth and the avenue.

From the stars and the universe to the particles of dust, and even all theories for studying the world, all things must be linked together, in order to achieve a unity of all concepts and things, and to achieve a harmonious and conflict-free worldview.

Zhuangzi once said that in the rubble, in the drowning of, in essence, it is all over the place. Where there is Tao, there will inevitably be a differentiation of various concepts and appearances, and these things are in harmony and essentially the world.

Therefore, even if it is as small as an atom, its essence is no different from the world, but it is just a difference in name.

Pang Bo was extremely surprised and questioned it, but Wu Qingfeng didn't explain, just said that you will know later.

Wu Qingfeng smiled kindly: "Don't talk about these today, what I want to say is that there is endless dust between heaven and earth, and every grain of dust is a world. In the same way, our bodies do not see anything, but contain endless 'doors', like the dust between heaven and earth. It seems to be a small body, but it contains countless 'doors', and constantly opening these doors to discover the 'true self' is the practice. ”

Seeing a few people with shocked faces, Wu Qingfeng's face was unwavering.

But Ji Tian has his own understanding, if everything around him is the manifestation of the Tao, and the world is in harmony, the so-called "door" opens up small worlds.

What's inside the small world? It is "yes" and "no". The Dao is essentially indefinable, and the so-called cultivation is to carry the undefinable "Dao" using things.

All things are born from being, and some are returned to nothing. This is to describe the avenue, to do subtraction.

Cultivation is to do addition, to transform nothing into being, and then into everything. All divine bodies, supernatural powers, and divine weapons are in the process of opening up the world and relying on things to seal the "Tao".

This reminded Ji Tian of a sentence said in "Guiguzi".

The saint is also in heaven and earth, and is the first of all beings. Viewing the opening and closing of yin and yang is the gateway to life, the gateway to know survival and death, the beginning of the end of all kinds of plans, the reason of people's hearts, the understanding of change, and the door of guarding.

It means that the sage is in charge of the portal of the "Tao", and all kinds of always, existence, human hearts, and changes are essentially the changes of the portal of the "Tao". When the door is opened, the Word begets all things, and when the door is closed, all things disappear.

Once you have figured this out, you will have a clear understanding of the general outline of your practice.

I couldn't help but sigh:

"It turns out that cultivation is about controlling creation and birth and death. It is the door of all wonders. ”
