"Alayya. Zhuge Yun replied on his behalf, "One of the eight consciousnesses is the structural basis of all experiences and the fundamental knowledge of all consciousness. ”

"The first five consciousnesses are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, and then the mindful sixth sense, the seventh consciousness is the defilement, also known as the mana consciousness, and the eighth consciousness is the alayya. ”

"That's right. The cat demon continued, "Alayya consciousness is the eighth consciousness in consciousness-only learning, and it is a very special kind of consciousness. It contains all things, because it can contain the seeds of all things, also known as seed knowledge. ”

"In Buddhism, alayas are seen as the essence of the universe, the origin of everything in the universe. Everything we see is an evolution of alayya. ”

"Alayas are like the sea, everything in the material world is a wave on the surface of the sea, and the waves are rolling and rolling, and they become the cycle of our objective world. ”

"The upper and lower squares are called the universe, and the universe is said to be ancient and modern. ”

"Lan Ting once told me that the end of science is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is religious theology. ”

This may not be absolutely true, but when different things enter an unknown realm, there will be a great commonality, which is reflected in the blurring of boundaries when the exploration of the universe and the process of cognition enter an unfamiliar territory.

Feng Huolun received: "At the end of our research, many things could not be carried out and could not be explained clearly, but many insights in Buddhism and Taoism inspired us. ”

For example, Buddhism has a saying that divides the universe into the realm of desire, the realm of color, and the realm of colorlessness, similar to the concept of parallel space. The six days of the desire realm are sexual reproduction, the eighteen days of the color realm are asexual reproduction, and the creatures in the four days of the colorless realm have only consciousness and no body. ”

"The levels or dimensions of the three worlds are from low to high, and the last heaven of the colorless realm is called 'non-thinking and non-thinking heaven', where there is no matter, no desire, and only subtle thoughts are said to exist. ”

"Taoism has a similar division, but the name is different. There are a total of thirty-six heavens in the Immortal Dao, and the last eightfold heaven is the place where it jumps out of the three realms and is not in the five elements, and the highest one is only the Tao in the Daluo Heaven, and nothing else, which is similar to the meaning of Buddhism that does not want to live in the heavens. ”

The cat demon said: "The so-called heaven is not a tangible world, similar to the concept of a multi-dimensional universe, but it is actually still limited, because human cognition is limited. ”

"Just like you tell the fish, shrimp and crab that there is a land world beyond the sea, which they cannot understand and imagine, they think that the sea is infinite, and this infinite conclusion is based on limited cognition. ”

"The immeasurable depth and vastness of the universe are even more incredible than you can imagine, and it can be said that it is beyond the expectations and capabilities of human beings and all known life. ”

Yi Liunian asked puzzledly: "There must always be a real and objective existence, even if we can't understand it." ”

The cat demon replied, "In Buddhism, truth is divided into two truths: the mundane truth, which describes the relative truth of the appearance of things, and the ultimate truth, which describes the absolute truth of the true and infallible reality. Human beings cannot directly see the truth itself, and we cannot seek an answer to the truth in the worldly truth. In other words, absolute truth cannot be explained in terms of relative truth. ”

"The only way we can try to understand the unprocessed truth is through labeling, through pseudonyms. As Daozu said: Tao is Tao, very Tao. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. As the Buddha said: emptiness is color, and color is emptiness. The aggregates are empty, impermanence and selflessness. Whatever appearance is false. ”

Hua Lanting asked again: "Is it like the illusion created by the illusion array in the spell?"

Feng Huolun: "Almost, it's just a drizzle, a virtual scene created by cultivators after comprehending a little fur." ”

The cat demon said: "For example, there is a fish tank in front of us, and there is a goldfish swimming with its head and tail in it, and you look from the side, and I look from the back, and we see two fish, like and not like them, and they are very strange - one of them moves, and the other immediately makes the same action at the same time. ”

"If the fish tank is the universe, the fish we see is an illusion, a projection, and a fake, but the fish are real. If we all look at the fish together from different directions, there will be many fish, and the movements will be very coordinated, and there is only one truth. ”

Lin Xian was shocked and thoughtful: "I remember that there was a virtuous head of the country in the Tang Dynasty, when he explained the Lotus Sutra, he put a large mirror in each direction of an octagonal pavilion, and the mirrors reflected each other. ”

Feng Huolun sighed: "So the ancients were smart. The fish tank and the mirror are just metaphors, the universe is more complex, there is no space and time, everything is in all of us, everything past, present and future is in it. Everywhere, and everywhere, it seems far from near. ”

Zhuge Yun said: "But we can realize and feel the reality of objects. ”

The cat demon said: "You can perceive and touch real objects because of strong forces, weak forces, magnetic forces and gravitational forces, but it is likely that these, like time, are illusions that we feel, including consciousness. Perhaps the child's consciousness is also generated by projection, the projection of the alayas after they enter your body. ”

"Only if a Buddha is able to enter into deep meditation, he should be able to become aware of the unchanging origin of all things and thus attain the realization of alayya. ”

"Alayas are like holographic projections of the universe, with everything. Each point contains all the information, and as the Buddha said, there is a thousand in the mustard seed. Every point is like an incarnation of the Buddha, everywhere and everywhere. ”

"The brain is also an illusory projection, and the understanding of the world can only reach the upper limit allowed by the brain, and the practice of Buddhism is trying its best to expand the ability of the brain, but Buddhism believes that it can be infinitely expanded, and the spirit wanders between heaven and earth, and the Taoist pursues the body to keep up, in order to break through to a higher level. ”

The cat demon asked everyone, "You guys, do you understand?"

Everyone either palmed their heads with one hand, or folded their hands together, and said in unison: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable/Amitabha, we are stupid, we all want to be quiet. ”

As they walked, after several teleportations, one morning, they arrived outside the transfer teleportation array heading to the last large teleportation point at the southern end of Xianzhou.

The scale of this waypoint is not small, and it looks magnificent from the outside.

Everyone went inside after paying the expensive teleportation fee at the gate, and there was a long queue outside the portal today, there were one or two hundred people, but most of them were young monks who were not high in cultivation, and the disciples of the Vientiane Gate stood at the end of the line and waited.

As they waited, there was a jumble of footsteps and loud laughter behind them, which was harsh in the quiet environment.

Everyone looked back, a group of more than a dozen mermaids came one after another, all wearing Taoist robes, I don't know which Taoist people, there are old and young, and there are high and low cultivation.

Xiu Weigao is dressed in cranes, stepping on cloud shoes, wearing mixed yuan scarves, and others are different according to generations and grades, respectively, wearing Zhuangzi scarves, pure yang scarves, Haoran scarves, Xiaoyao scarves, lotus leaf scarves, one-word scarves and the simplest scarves.

This group of people was well-dressed, but their behavior was disorderly, not only did they walk in a proper shape, they made loud noises, they also shouted and drank to each other, they walked in horizontally, and they did not line up, and they entered directly after crossing the disciples of the Vientiane Gate.

When passing by, someone bumped into several people in Hua Lanting, and then scolded and scolded in their mouths.

With the growth of age and the deepening of cultivation, the cultivation of the disciples of the Vientiane Sect has improved a lot, and even Yi Liunian did not come out of the theory, and let a group of people pass.

Under the sideways gaze of everyone in line, this group of people walked to the portal, turned around and stood still, one person casually pulled over a row of fences, and shouted to the front: "Listen up, there are many people today, the teleportation capacity of this place is limited, each sect is limited to five people, if you want to use it with many people, you need to pay a high-grade spirit stone per person." ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

The teleportation circle in Xianzhou, except for some private ones, was basically jointly funded and built by the major sects of various places. As a public facility, the fee is accepted by everyone, but the cost standard has been agreed on according to the scale of construction and the distance of transmission, and the difference is not too big.

In addition, these circles are guarded by the parties who contribute to it in turn, like today, there is a Mu character hanging on the door, and there are people from the Mu family who take turns to take care of and charge.

Since it is funded by a small number of people, it is common for the cost to fluctuate from time to time according to the usage, but it is very unpleasant for the lion to open his mouth so much, it should be that these people see that there are many people today, and the young junior disciples are easy to bully, so the price is temporarily increased.

At that moment, someone was dissatisfied, and asked, "Who are you, and what are your rights to charge extra?"

The Mu family is not a Taoist sect, and there will be no guards who are all dressed in Taoist costumes, so there is this question.

The man replied: "What's the matter? We are from Taihaoguan on the empty island in the South China Sea, and we have invested here, and we are entrusted by the Mu family to take care of it today, and if we don't have spirit stones, we will come back tomorrow." ”

Taihao View is the first great road view among the coastal islands in the south of Xianzhou, which is famous and powerful, but it is so domineering if you don't want to act.

Someone shouted: "What kind of commission, the name is not right, ask the people of the Mu family to come out and speak." ”

The Taihaoguan disciple shook his face: "The head of the Mu family is cultivating, you can't disturb it, let you hand it over, and then talk nonsense, today the teleportation array is renovated, no one will think about it." ”

This aroused the anger of the public, and everyone spoke out to denounce it, and the front of the door became noisy.

At this time, the old man who was wearing a crane and sitting on a rocking chair in the back shouted: "Shut up for me! Today, the old man Dan Yangzi here has the final say, and if he is not convinced, he will come and fight! ”

Danyangzi has the cultivation of the Warm Cultivation Realm, and this loud shout suppressed everyone's voices, and the aftermath was buzzing, which was overwhelming people with momentum.

The skills of the cultivators in the queue were not enough, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and the scene was silent for a while.

Danyangzi saw that he suppressed everyone, and smiled proudly with a feather fan in his hand, and there was one of his disciples next to him, Hu Fake Huwei, who stood in front of him and drank: "Why don't you make a sound? Where are the ones who talk loudly? You, you, you, come over and shout again." ”

He pointed to the men in the front row, who flinched.

Hualan Ting and the others had already surrounded them, and when the front row retreated, they flashed out the disciples of the Vientiane Sect.

It was this disciple who bumped Hua Lanting's shoulder just now, and after he recognized it, he said arrogantly: "You, it's you, do you still have any opinions?"

The disciples of the Vientiane Sect walked outside, in order to avoid trouble, they usually suppressed and concealed their cultivation with Xuangong, and if it was not stronger than them and they were interested in discernment, they could not easily find out.

Seeing that he was pointed, Hua Lanting turned his face sideways and looked at Mu Qitian, who was frowning and nodding slowly, and took a step forward: "You ask me? ”

"In the next Bucai, dare to ask Danyangzi's seniors for advice. If you're lucky, you'll be free of everyone's fees!"

"Huh?"

When Danyangzi heard this, he snorted in a long voice in his nose and slowly sat up from the recliner.
