031、The Law of Ghost Cultivation and Shinto Teaching (II)

The method of ghost cultivation is just a kind of cultivation secret for monks. However, the worship of the gods and the sincere thoughts of the world have developed into some kind of code of words and deeds or ritual system that guides or restricts people, and this is the Shinto religion.

People often never see the deity they worship at all, and they can't even confirm whether it exists or not. Most of the people in the world, like the villagers of the Shenmu clan, worship only some kind of existence or symbol that they expect in their minds. When the ritual had a fixed ritual, it gradually developed into a system of rituals and laws, and put forward common requirements for the words and deeds of the world, that is, Shinto teaching.

Some so-called gods, such as Taiyi, never took the initiative to ask the villagers to worship him. If the villagers didn't worship the sacred tree, Taiyi wouldn't care, but if the villagers worshipped the sacred tree, he wouldn't stop it. Because this is also the suffering experience of the villagers, who do not forget the suffering experience of their ancestors, and encourage the people of today to cherish and create a better homeland.

Judging from the Jinghua recipe left by Emperor Taihao, he certainly did not seek immortality with the method of ghost cultivation, but this does not prevent future generations from setting up Shinto religion in the name of Taihao, and Taihao is now the god of national sacrifice worshiped by Bayuan. Listed as the god of national sacrifice with Tai Hao, there is also the founding king Yan Zhao, I have not heard that Yan Zhao has ascended to the sky and lived forever, but this does not prevent him from becoming a god in the minds of future generations.

In the quaint era, when almost everyone believed in the gods, Shinto was the best way to summon everyone to work together, and it was also the easiest for the rulers to accept and use it.

People worship their ancestors and worship gods, not only in the hope of getting something from the gods, but also in the hope of preserving gods like zài, so that they can face many unexplained puzzles in the world and get the simplest answers. On the other hand, it is also the hope of having or inheriting its sacred aura.

The original intention of Taihao's Jinghua Jue is to describe the richness of heaven and earth, and to inform the world of the virtue of life, a person, a family, a clan, and a country should seek a way to be prosperous for a long time, and do not kill themselves. Then worship Taeho. It is also equivalent to inheriting the guidance of the ancestors and becoming the educational inheritance of the world.

From this point of view, the method of ghost cultivation is a way of cultivation for monks, and the Shinto religion is the system of rituals and laws of the world, and they are originally the same thing, but if they are combined into one, it is the method of practicing ghost cultivation through Shinto.

Then the method of ghost cultivation has a kind of extreme theoretical verification, which is the whole world. Because there are more and more sources of power condensed by one deity, and the realm of the dojo where this power is gathered is getting bigger and bigger, it will inevitably clash with the belief of other gods in the world. One God is the ideal ultimate state.

If this kind of cultivation is verified, what kind of realm it will be is not something that Huwa can understand at this time, and he is only inferring from the evolution of what he has realized. The method of ghost cultivation may lead to conflict between monks, or it may temporarily coexist without conflict like Xiao Shen and Yang Hanling, and Huwa believes that it has a problem anyway.

Speaking of this, Taiyi frowned and said, "What's the problem? I don't understand too much!"

Huwa muttered: "The villagers can worship the mountain god, and it is possible for one or several mountain gods to worship the mountain god. But it is impossible for them to worship each other with the same sincerity, and only the so-called gods who are above all others can enjoy this kind of sacrifice. You are a Divine Tree, and you can cultivate your Divine Soul with the help of the sacrifices of the Shenmu Clan, but the people of the Shenmu Clan can't all cultivate in the same way. ”

Taiyi asked again, "What about the building wood that manifested on the altar?" Isn't it a symbol of Shintoism?"

Huwa: "The method of ghost cultivation should be taught with the help of Shinto, but Shinto teaching may not be to guide ghost cultivation." Jianmu is just a guide, and Taihao is just using the way of Shinto teaching, so that those who have crossed the path to heaven can go to the Imperial Land of God. But if you don't want to go, you can not go! And Taihao also left Jinghua Jue, which is another kind of guidance. ”

Taiyi: "What about the Pure Yang Jue?"

Tiger Baby: "Emperor Gaoyang must have confirmed the method of ghost cultivation back then. It points out the subtlety of the method of ghost cultivation and the origin of the Great Dao. That is to say, you can use this way to cultivate the divine soul, but the ultimate goal is to refine the primordial god of pure yang and become a being who is beyond the mortal womb of ordinary bones. The cultivation of the yin god of ghosts and things in the world will eventually turn the yin god into a yang god, and the monks can learn from and confirm it. As for the mystery after ascending to heaven and immortality, it is not yet known to me. ”

Taiyi finally nodded and said: "I understand, back then, Emperor Gaoyang Heavenly Emperor observed the various things of the world's Shinto teachings, witnessed the cultivation method of barbarian ghosts, and personally verified the true meaning of cultivation in it, pointing out that his key points summed up the pure yang secret. …… What Daoyou said today has also solved a puzzle I have been confusing for a hundred years. ”

The words were accompanied by divine thoughts, and Taiyi told Huwa what the troubles she encountered in her own cultivation. The green oak in the mountain has grown for 8,000 years, but it can't be said that Taiyi in front of him is 8,000 years old. In fact, he had only cultivated for eight hundred years, but compared to the longevity of mortals, this was already quite a long time.

The ancestor of Xiangsha had already been famous for a hundred years ago, but what was slightly surprising was that his cultivation had not yet broken through the transformation realm. When he became famous in Bayuan a hundred years ago, he was the consummation of the Seven Realms and Nine Transformations, but it is still difficult to take another step. Taiyi does not have a master, he is a spiritual cultivator in the mountains and has traveled around for 800 years, which is the process of cultivation and learning.

After the consummation of the Seven Realms and Nine Transformations, Taiyi didn't know what to do for a while. Because he has always been a tree in the mountains, and he has also felt that the sacrifices of the villagers for hundreds of years can nourish and strengthen his primordial spirit, but will he always be a sacred tree in the mountains, or will he be a master of Qing cultivation outside the world?

Taiyi's divine soul is nourished, and he can continue to refine the original body with great mana, and he hopes that he can grow into a heavenly building tree, so as to reach the emperor's hometown divine land. This idea sounds incredible, but Taiyi once really thought so, and did so, so his original body became taller and taller.

But then he also found that he couldn't realize this wish, maybe he was on the wrong path in his cultivation. So combined with the legend of the immortal family, Taiyi had another cultivation verification, hoping to cultivate his original body into an immortal elixir. The immortal elixir has no limit to longevity, and it is an immortal thing, so if he cultivates the original body into the immortal elixir, doesn't it mean that he has also verified immortality?

Just twenty years ago, his cultivation encountered problems, his supernatural power became stronger and stronger, but he encountered the trouble of the original body. After all, the Qinggang Oak is the Qinggang Oak, no matter what, it can't cultivate the immortal elixir, if it doesn't go through a process of transformation and rebirth, it will forever be stuck at this pass and can't be refined, and Taiyi's cultivation and verification path seems to have come to an end.

So Taiyi began to retreat and refine the original body, wanting to experience a new transformation, but at this time, the magic power began to be uncontrollable, and he could not hide the huge original body. Due to the terrain, there are no strong winds and floods, but his original body is always struck by thunder during the rainy season. This is a vicious circle, the injury of his original body is getting more and more serious, and the mana of his divine energy is greatly damaged, so there is no way to hide the original body to resist the heavenly thunder, and it hurts the gods from the form, and even the damage to the original spirit is also great, so the green oak is withering day by day.

If he hadn't been a sacred tree worshiped by the villagers, and he could absorb the sincere wish power of the Shenmu clan to nourish the primordial gods, I'm afraid the situation would have been even worse. When the tiger baby came to the Western Wilderness, Taiyi was already trapped in the original body and could not transform into a form, so he could only greet him from afar with the wind of the gods, and ordered his disciple Jiu Ling to send three rune leaves.

Jiu Ling still couldn't fully understand the problem that Shizun was experiencing, but when he saw the giant tree withering, the lion would of course think that Shizun was sick. Yang Hanling's divine thoughts in the wind explained, and Jiu Ling also heard it, and what interested him the most was that the person who came, Master Peng Keng, was actually a miracle doctor!

The main purpose of Jiu Ling's invitation to the tiger baby here is not only to treat the villagers, but also to ask him to treat this sacred tree.

But Taiyi himself understood that it was impossible for a teenage Five Realms monk to help him solve such a problem, so he dissuaded his disciple from making a request to Huwa, and he didn't speak. But the pair of masters and apprentices did not ask for each other, and the Shenmu clan still made a request to the tiger baby. What's more, Huwa already knows who Mr. Qing is and is willing to help him as much as she can.

If it is an ordinary tree, although it is a behemoth between heaven and earth, it has solved the problems of its vitality and injury, and it can sprout and regain its luxuriance in the cycle of spring and autumn. But for Taiyi, the problems encountered in his cultivation have not been solved, and he is still experiencing the catastrophe described by the tiger baby.

So when he was just able to get out of trouble, he immediately ran to see Huwa, not only to thank him, but also to ask for advice. Although the mana of the tiger baby is far inferior to him, the cultivation proves that he understands the origin of the Great Dao, and communicating with him may give Taiyi better inspiration and find an opportunity to break through.

Since Taiyi's transformation, he has always shown the face of a child, and he is observing everything in the world with such a mentality and eyes, constantly thinking, learning, summarizing, and cultivating to confirm his gains and losses.

After hearing this, Huwa couldn't help but laugh and said: "Five hundred years ago, at the national memorial ceremony of Pakistan, you saw the heavenly building wood condensed by the illusion of light and shadow. And your original body is a tree, so you want to cultivate yourself into a building tree to reach the Emperor Country Divine Land, is that so?"

Taiyi nodded very seriously and said, "Yes, I was deeply shocked at the time, and I thought I was inspired, and I have been cultivating like this for the past five hundred years!"

The tiger baby almost couldn't hold back and screamed "silly child", because this idea was too naïve, and it was a whimsy that only a child would have. But Taiyi in front of him is a child, and the tiger baby also understands why the Qinggang oak is so tall, and secretly sighs in her heart that Taiyi's magical power is amazing, which is clearly the result of Taiyi's continuous cultivation of the original body for five hundred years.
