Chapter 213: Ten Evils and Nine Diseases of Immortal Cultivators

Have you ever heard of the situation of the immortals feasting and drinking? If it is not the dragon liver and phoenix pith, or the jade liquid elixir, if you still have a thirst for food and drink, why should you be so extravagant! The Queen Mother of the West is what you know, if you still have the desire for men and women, why did you give birth to such a large number of sons and daughters?"

Speaking of which, the Yunxia Fairy in the crowd looked strange, why did the Great God of Houtu talk about her mother, the Queen Mother of the West! However, she still did not speak, and could only listen to the Great God of Houtu continue to speak.

The great god of Houtu said: "You haven't been to Penglai Island, if you see the gorgeousness of that place, and see the gorgeousness of Zhongshan here, if you don't still have a lust, why bother, whether it's a god or a human being, whether it's a fairy or a monster, whether it's a Buddha in the West Realm, and an immortal Dao in the East Realm, it's all the same desire." So in all fairness, the gods in the sky are similar to the ordinary people in the world. However, one is above, one is below, one has the will, one has no will, one has the power of the supernatural, one has the power of the supernatural, one has the power of the supernatural power, one has the law of longevity and immortality, and the other has the supernatural power of the reincarnation of life and death.

If you really want to stop your cravings, unless you go to the heavens of the sky, there are 36 heavens in four directions, and there are "no * heavens" and "you have to think about it" to go to that heaven. Then, how easy is it to talk about, only the cultivation of the Sanqing Heavenly Venerable is as strong as the Jade Emperor, and they are in these thirty-six days of the Xuancang Heavenly World. In the Nine Heavens World, these are just three days in the lowest three-day world. (The thirty-two planes of the world in the lower heaven are called Qingnan Heaven, the sky is Qingnan, there are thirty-two heavens in all directions, and the earth is in the center.) The Xuanhuang Heaven of the Zhongtian World has thirty-three days, the sky is Xuanhuang, the four directions are thirty-two days, and the center is the Haotian World Haotian Jade Emperor Datianzun Management, and it is called thirty-three days. The heavenly world is Hongxuan green, there are thirty-two heavens in the four directions, there are four Xuantian in the center, the three Qing are holy and follow the gods, and the Yuqing Emperor manages in it. These three days are called the three days of the world, the blue sky, the yellow sky, and the sky. It is also called the Three Realms, and these Three Realms are not the Three Realms of the Earth. )。 ”

Candle Dragon said: "Yes, I once went to the "Wu* Heaven" with the Daojun Nine Heavens True King, and there was really nothing in it. There is nothing, of course, there is no craving, everything is pure qi, it is really nothing. ”

Zhang Xuanchu said: "Then the immortal mana is vast, what is the use?"

Hou Tu said: "The so-called immortal magic power of the immortals, that is the use of a temporary emergency, or to protect the true way, self-defense and for the sake of nature, immortals also have bad thoughts, bad people and bad things and the like also have many behaviors, all kinds of disciples are also endless, not necessarily the immortals are all good people." In terms of sorcery, it's either a vision, or it's moved from somewhere else. Visions cannot be used for practical purposes, and those brought from elsewhere can only be used temporarily, not commonly used, and must be returned, otherwise it is theft. And one's own strong ability is to protect one's own interests and the conditions for one's own survival. To tell the truth, if you are not studying under the Nine Heavens True King Dao Jun. If you are in other places, or if you cultivate immortals by yourself, then there will not be so many people who are optimistic about you, let alone listen to you, and the reason is that you have been protected by the true master. ”

When Zhang Xuanchu heard this, his anger surged up, but it slowly descended again. His own cultivation is his own, and the result he gets now is that he really can't accept what the Great God of Houtu said. Is it possible that everything that is going well now is due to the blessing of the patriarch? I am crying out in my heart, no, no, I will never let the patriarch bless me, I will fight by myself, work hard by myself, and create by myself. Where to go, the fairy world has the strength of the ancestor, the demon world? By the way, there is no ancestor in that place in the demon god world, so okay, I have to work my own, and I will never grow up under the protection of the ancestor.

After thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind that after this turmoil passed, he would go directly to the demon world to cultivate, not to cultivate in the immortal world, let alone the protection of the ancestors.

Zhang Xuanchu suppressed the fire in his heart, and after balancing, he asked: "According to the great god, immortals still can't be without lust, but the * city has openly set up a city, which is too unseemly." Besides, monogamy is enough, so why should there be such a market, and is there also a prodigal son in heaven?"

Hou Tu said: "The desire of men and women is the foundation of the transformation of heaven and earth, the opportunity of yin and yang creation, where can it be eliminated? There can be a way to distinguish the city. The so-called pure ones are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, and the few people will not be confused, and the upright people will not go to those places. It's better than those sneaky and obscure. Although there are no prodigal sons in the sky, there are many immortals who take this as the foundation of cultivation. ”

Zhang Xuanchu asked, "Then what do Zhongxiang City and Huafu City mean?"

Houtu said: "These seven cities, except for the two markets of rice and clothes, can be said to be markets of luxury and lewdness. What is displayed in Zhongxiang City is nothing more than ambergris, lily incense and other divine treasures, all kinds of fragrance things, divine products, everything.

What is displayed in Huaqi City is nothing more than women's and men's jewelry, jade, gold beads, jade ornaments, etc., of course, there are also various kinds of divine treasures and fairy treasures such as high, medium and low.

The food market displays nothing more than rare and peculiar food products, fairy treasure spirit fruit, fairy herb fairy medicine, Ganoderma lucidum fairy fruit and other strange things.

What is displayed in Gongqiao City is nothing more than magic weapons such as strange weapons, divine treasures, immortal weapons, and even legendary ancient holy immortal weapons. Probably the gods in the sky are the most at ease. Since there is nothing to do, they try their best to pay attention to this luxury and lewdness, so there is also this phenomenon.

You mortals in the lower realm work hard all day long, worry and fear, and bitter and hard, and in the end they can't last long, so they envy the gods in the sky, it's really no wonder, the gods have the way of immortality, and they are at ease, and they have to find some pleasure and perfect leisure. ”

Zhang Xuanchu thought: People in the world want to become immortals, in order to become immortals, hard cultivation, some people have exhausted their lives, and have not cultivated to the point of immortals, and in the end they will end up in the mountains, or in the temple Zongguan, it is a pity to spend their lives in vain, but I don't know that the way of immortals is very difficult, not only to have the inheritance of the ancestors, but also their own ten times the effort, cherish the essence, qi, spirit, form, these four things, all of which are prepared.

Zhang Xuanchu asked the senior brother Di Jun on the side: "Senior brother, in the ancestral inheritance, are there any taboos or rules?"

Di Jun said: "Yes, haven't you been to the Taboo Hall to see it? There are all kinds of rules and regulations and so on. ”

Zhang Xuanchu said embarrassedly: "To be honest, I don't have a good visit every time I go back, let alone go to the Forbidden Hall, or something else, senior brother, you can tell me!

Di Jun said: "Among all cultivators, there are nine evils and ten diseases that are easy to commit, as long as you twist these in your hand, don't let the heart ape run away, and the horse will be stable." And "Nine Evils and Ten Diseases that Cultivators Are Prone to Make" is its root.

What are the nine evils?

The first evildoer: the teacher does not obey the words, the yang is contrary to the yin, the deceit is more lying, the appearance is old, the inside is ghostly, only trying to coax the true trick of immortal arts, not thinking about sincerity, it is a treacherous evil.

The second evildoer: Holding a side door, being injured, not repenting, and framing others with mistakes, is vicious and evil.

The third evil: The art of smelting and harvesting war, charming and unjust, leading people to do evil, is unjust karma and evil.

The Fourth Evil: Deceived the Ten Directions by Cultivating Food, or Engaging in Evil Tricks, Pretending to be Immortals, or Lying Falsely and Foolishly Deceiving Women, or Seeing Rich and Noble Children, Abducting and Leaving Families, or Encountering the Old and Young, Oppressing*, and Evil Cults.

The fifth evil: Gambling with the blood and sweat of the ten parties, and exchanging the farmer's rice and flour for meat is to endure the evil.

The Sixth Evil: When the superior sees that I am not righteous, he refuses to lead me, slanders behind his back, discusses right and wrong, and is vicious and evil.

The seventh evil: recruiting for fasting, peeping at women, deliberately fighting, is lustful and evil.

The eighth evil: not doing one's duty in life, falsely claiming to be a good person, and coaxing others to make offerings, which is harmful to heaven and evil.

The ninth evil: I have had it, and my colleagues exhort me, but I don't know how to change myself, and I hate it. or fireworks, willful quarrels, and indulgence in evil.

These are the nine evils of cultivators, which make people want to be quite honest and not do anything. And [the ten diseases that cultivators are prone to commit]: What are the ten diseases?

The first disease: can't see through the world, and wants to be a fairy, which is a foolish disease.

The second disease: Lilu is famous and famous, and he is interested in seeing wealth and isolating Taoism, which is the disease of greed.

The third disease: When you meet a master by chance, you want to know the way immediately, and you can't bear his pondering, which is a disease of sexual urgency.

The fourth disease: I don't learn the Fa-rectification, I don't have a firm will, I don't understand it for a long time, and I complain that my teacher is not promoted, which is a disease of deception.

The fifth disease: Seeing others learn the Tao wisely, making progress every day, the teacher's family is happy to see it, and he himself fails, deliberately playing with the rights and wrongs of others, and ruining people's good deeds, which is the disease of jealousy.

The sixth disease: Beginning to cultivate, brave and diligent, after a long time without effect, that is, the idea of dropping out of school, giving up halfway, is self-abandoning the disease.

The seventh disease: Seeing that others are proficient in learning the Fa, but you can't do it yourself, you will slander and slander, which is a disease of foolishness.

The eighth disease: greedy for delicious food, not liking indifference, often having a lot of troubles, is the disease of gluttony.

The ninth disease: guarding some side doors, conceited and righteous people, that is, meeting real people, and refusing to bow their heads to listen to the teachings, this is the disease of arrogance.

The tenth disease: According to his own knowledge and insight, he memorized a few public cases, guessed a few sentences of the Danjing Taoist book, and claimed to be enlightened, so he looked at the world and did not ask for others, which is a disease of complacency.

Those who cherish their lives in the same way and cultivate immortals, if they want to learn the way of immortals, they must first learn people, and if they have achievements, they will be expected to learn the Tao. To learn the Dharma of people, we must first know that these ten diseases are the demonic obstacles of cultivators, and if you don't make a ruthless choice, it will eventually be a great disaster. As the so-called:

The predecessors of cultivating immortals reminded that the direction of cultivation was indicated

Timely detection of internal investigation, reduction of bad washing and calming

Stick to several diseases by yourself, and quickly prevent diseases

Only by humbly learning the correct Dharma Sutra can you benefit from your own practice."
