Text Chapter 485 Humans and Ghosts
The situation outside is still turbulent, and the capital city protection array that was activated that night has been running since it was opened, and it has never stopped. The ban on flying in the air has long been opened, and only those uniformed monks of all stripes can still roam in mid-air. Even many streets have been placed under martial law, or in disguise.
During this time, not only were many monks with official positions in the Great Zhou Dynasty arrested, but even many monks belonging to the Six Sects were also hunted down. Some of them even fled to the "foreign envoy area" where Wuxu was located, trying to get the protection of the sect to which they belonged. But without exception, the six sect missions, almost as if they had a tacit understanding, kept these monks out, and allowed them to be captured or killed on the spot by the Great Zhou law enforcement monks who arrived later.
Take the demon clan mission where Wuxu is located, for example, at this moment, the person in charge is the old woman who has been with the heavenly demon for a long time. On several occasions, blood-stained monks, humans and demons, fled to the Demon Legation Residence. Some even shouted out their family history and name, as well as the old woman's name, but to no avail.
Later, the entire "foreign envoy area" was completely closed and isolated.
As a result, Wuxu also completely lost his sense and connection with the outside world.
"Fortunately, I haven't been in the heavens for a long time, and I am mostly in the land of the Tiger Clan, and I don't have much to do with the outside world," Wuxu had to secretly think, "So this catastrophe doesn't seem to have much to do with me, so I might as well calm down and concentrate on cultivation." β
Wuxu originally wanted to practice some magical spells according to the previous conversation between Dorjee and himself, after all, now the Great Zhou Dynasty seems to have changed the sky, and the "way of the world" is about to change. But Wen Tianxiang was beside him, he was cultivating the ghost path, and if he practiced supernatural powers, he would inevitably have an impact on each other. After thinking about it, Wu Xuan still chose to practice the method of being the Dharma Realm that he had comprehended in the land of the Tiger Clan.
The Dadala Dharma Realm of Lamaism is based on the power of visualization to enchant the void outside the body, and evolve in all kinds of ways. And the body of enlightenment and enlightenment is in the Dharma realm, which is in the body. This one body is actually a world. The so-called one sand and one world, as a person who has crossed over, Wu Xuan certainly knows that his physical body, according to the interpretation of later generations, is composed of many cells, and these many cells are actually composed of many molecules, electrons, protons, and other things. When we look up at the starry sky, we feel that the universe is vast, but in fact, when we look inward, how can this physical body not be vast? If we look up from another angle, the cells may be like stars.
Wu Xuan then sat cross-legged and folded his hands. The reason why the hands are folded is that this is the most common and fundamental mudra. Realize the void and ignore the outside knowledge and observe the movement within the physical body. In the beginning, between the breaths, the whole body is one, independent of oneself, and it is also breathing in and out. Then, the internal organs seemed to gradually become clear, and the sensations such as numbness and itching came one after another. Realize the void and then concentrate on it, follow this feeling that appears from time to time, and observe a certain part through the void and the reality.
This process is like an infinite fall, and later, Wuxu suddenly gave birth to an inexplicable fear, as if there was an unreachable abyss below, and he was falling forever. Not long after this inexplicable fear arose, Wu Xuan returned to his senses, that is, from the determination.
"Master Wuxu, it seems that he is practicing some kind of profound secret method?" asked Wen Tianxiang in the darkness of the house.
Wuxu looked up, hurriedly clasped his palms together and said, "Wuxu was on a whim, but he didn't want to disturb Wen Daoyou. β
Wen Tianxiang waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay." I just saw a green dragon and a white tiger flying out of Master Wuxu's body, and there was a faint Sanskrit singing fragrance emitting. It is known that Master Wuxu is practicing a profound method. β
Wuxu waved his hand, "It's not a secret, the poor monk is just a wild fox Zen, the scriptures don't seek to understand, the precepts can be solved as you like, and the so-called practice is just a random toss." β
"Buddhism has always had multiple spirits, not focusing on the physical body, or even giving up the physical body. Wen Tianxiang pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "Fang Cai, when Master Wuxu was practicing, it seemed that his body was scattering. β
I didn't think about it, but I didn't want Wen Tianxiang's comment, my own flesh Dharma Realm, it seems that I thought wrongly, I made a mistake, and my flesh body flew away, isn't this equivalent to the annihilation of my body and death? Although this makes sense, the flesh is just a stinky skin, and cultivating Buddha is cultivating transcendence, but I am cultivating the flesh Dharma realm at the moment, and I want to be based on the flesh, which is far more than the so-called flesh Vajra and other cultivation methods.
But I heard Wen Tianxiang say again, "My Guan Wuxu Master's practice actually seems to be somewhat similar to my ghost path practice. β
Something similar to a ghost path practice?!
Wuxu was a little suspicious in his heart, looked at Wen Tianxiang, clasped his palms and asked, "I hope to give me advice." β
Wen Tianxiang thought for a while, and then said, "Master Fangcai's cultivation, although he cultivates in the flesh, he still looks at it with the meaning of the extinction of Buddhism, and cultivates it. But if the master seems to want to practice through this body, then this body will seem to be lost and regained, just like us ghost monks, cultivating a human body with a wisp of soul. β
"That's not right!" Wu Xuan thought for a while, and suddenly said, "People in the ghost path cultivate ghost bodies, not human bodies!"
Wen Tianxiang said with a smile, "The so-called human body is not a human body, it is a famous human body. Our ghost cultivators have recultivated their human bodies, and the human bodies recultivated by Master Wuxu are still the original human bodies?"
, Wuxu, stunned, laughed, "The so-called human body, that is, not the human body, is the human body." It seems that Wen Daoyou is also well versed in the Diamond Sutra. β
Wen Tianxiang said with a smile, "Buddhist classics, how can you not read them." After a pause, he said again, "Ghost Dao monks, whether they take the initiative or have no choice, are broken and stand up in the human body, and only rely on a wisp of soul to give birth to white bones and live skin, and regain their bodies. The method that the master has just practiced seems to need to be broken and then established. Therefore, Wenshan said that this method is similar to our ghost path practice. β
After hearing this, he couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.
Although I have a close heart to the inner view, I unconsciously carry the usual intention of silence, which is tantamount to self-harm, or suicide. Before I was in the Tiger Clan, I tried to practice like this, it was the beginning stage, and it was mixed with my own trial and error and deduction in the middle, so it did not cause serious consequences, and the reason why I also generated the so-called flesh mandala Dharma realm that can accommodate more than a hundred tiger demons was actually a mistake, or it was just an enchantment that I imagined that could accommodate those tiger demons, but because these tiger demons usually fought in the process, the blood or fresh meat that fell was swallowed by themselves, and thus produced some kind of induction in their own body, so that they mistakenly thought that they had cultivated a flesh mandalaγ
But looking at it from the inside and thinking of oneself as the Dharma Realm, is it such an enchantment?
You should look at yourself with compassion. World-honored One, when we drink water, we must filter it with gauze so as not to injure sentient beings by mistake, but why can't we love the many sentient beings in our bodies? The so-called renunciation does not mean annihilation, but from a certain point of view, we give up our own monopoly and arrogance of our own flesh, and look at them from a perspective of equality and fraternity. Just like the wise kings of ancient times, although they are the "masters" of this body, and even seem to be able to live and kill, and override all cells and tissues, but as a wise king, they must love and care for every "courtier", and even understand that in essence, they are no different from these "courtiers". Of course, normal metabolism, like normal birth, old age, sickness and death, is allowed.
Wuxu can only think of this for the time being. Thinking like this, he unconsciously looked inward again, but only with the slightest sense of silence, and even with a hint of pleasure, compassion, and even a kind of emotion like "burn my little universe".
But at this moment, a figure appeared silently, interrupting Wuxu's enlightenment.
Before Wu Xuan opened his eyes, he felt the breath, and knew that it was the Heavenly Demon who came.
"Who are you?" the Heavenly Demon obviously asked Wen Tianxiang coldly.
Before Wen Tianxiang could answer, Wu Xuan had already opened his eyes and said, "Heavenly Demon Senior, this Wen Daoyou is a friend of the little monk in the world. In this turmoil in the capital, I invited Wen Daoyou to come here as a guest. β
"Wen Tianxiang, right?" the Heavenly Demon glanced at Wen Tianxiang lightly, and then said to the Enlightenment Void Divine Sense, "You can shelter this ghost cultivator, but you must fulfill your previous promise." β
Previous promises?!
Wuxu was stunned, and looked towards the heavenly demon with an inquiring expression. After these few days, the Heavenly Demon was able to stand in front of him so calmly, and their so-called big thing must have been completed. In this case, do you still need your own sea conch to cooperate?
"Let's go with the deity!" The Heavenly Demon smiled incomparably shallowly, his sleeves swayed lightly, and Wu Xuan was involuntarily swept up by the invisible force.
"Wen Tianxiang, you stay here, don't go out, wait for the deity to come back, listen to your righteous song!" The heavenly demon finally said to Wen Tianxiang, and disappeared with Wuxu.
γγγγγγ
The Great Zhou Dynasty's Great Array of Protectors in Kyoto, all the prohibitions, it seems that for the Heavenly Demon, there is no existence. The Heavenly Demon even enveloped Wu Xu, ignoring those law enforcement monks who were flying around, and swaggered and flew quickly, bringing a violent aura fluctuation in the air.
As expected, the Heavenly Demon brought Wuxu to the Tianxin Hall again. At this moment, the Tianxin Hall seems to have become an isolated island in the sea again, and there is no one to see outside, and the aura is like a deep lock in the mist. As if there was a sense, the Heavenly Demon flew with Wu Xu, but the door of the temple automatically opened a gap, and then quietly closed. From the beginning of entering the main hall, there are several invisible coercion, out of nowhere, gathered together, like ten thousand mountains, the more forward, the more terrifying, the pressure is so breathless.
"It's too dangerous ahead, so get into your sea conch. Suddenly, the Heavenly Demon sent a message to Wuxu, and by the way, he raised his hand and set up a temporary enchantment for Wuxu.
Wuxu glanced at the Heavenly Demon gratefully, didn't say a word, and then picked up the sea conch and escaped in. Of course, Wuxu did not completely close the sea sound conch, but also retained a trace of the sea sound snail's external induction, and then drove the sea sound snail to follow the heavenly demon forward. Otherwise, if he didn't know what to do at that time, who knew what those Tongxuan masters would do to themselves, maybe they would completely seal themselves up with this sea sound conch, wouldn't it be miserable?
Gradually, Wuxu felt, as if, it seems, as if, the Heavenly Demon took himself into another world. I can't say the specifics, because the outside world has been almost completely shielded, but I have an intuition through that trace of residual induction.
But this induction was suddenly blocked by the heavenly demon. The outside world suddenly disappeared, as if heaven and earth did not exist. Wuxu had to be in the sea sound conch, with the Guanyin Bodhisattva Dharma, appearing and then looking at the Quartet.
In the sea sound snail, there are quite a few sentient beings, seeing the enlightenment of the void with the Guanyin Bodhisattva Dharma looming, they have a sense of it. This wisp of the power of faith and wish gathers together, like a trickle of water gathering into a river and sea. Isn't this realm of the sea sound conch just like the realm of the physical body that they are seeking? They are like bodhisattvas or kings, but they must love and protect them, and they must not act recklessly, and they must respect themselves as bodhisattvas or kings, and they must abide by them. Among them, the most important thing, in the final analysis, is equality and trust. In this sea conch, they are revered as bodhisattvas, but they cannot think of themselves as supreme bodhisattvas, and they are actually equal to them, and their prostrations to themselves are nothing more than a kind of reverence, a kind of recognition and respect based on inner belief (ren), and the slightest wisps of faith and reverence arise from this recognition and reverence, which converge here in Wuxu.
From this point of view, Wuxu feels that in fact, he is not the master, but a person with a heavy responsibility, this heavy responsibility, can not be disappointed, can only go to the soup and fire, never give up. Such a relationship is a bit similar to the relationship between lovers, trusting each other, and blending. It's a bit like a commander and a warrior. The warrior gives his life to the commander, who must lead the warrior to victory and minimize casualties.
This is not a one-way fraud or demand, but a mutual trust and giving, a sacred contract, and more importantly, an interdependence, a cycle of cause and effect. Wuxu in Haiyinluo, he has never understood so clearly that if he fails to live up to this inextricable wish, he is not worthy of being a bodhisattva in the Dharma realm of this Haiyinluo, and he is not worthy of having a Haiyinluo Dojo.
But this is a similar state that is already in the same state, what will it be like to take one's body as one's own boundary? More importantly, how to cultivate? At this moment, Wuxu is still ignorant, and the only thing he knows is that he can only wait and see what happens at the beginning. Wait for a change, and then separate, which is quite a bit of crossing the river by feeling the stones.
At the moment of such contemplation and comprehension, Wuxu suddenly felt a huge pressure outside in the sea sound conch, crushing from all directions, and the situation was much more terrifying than the original six great Tongxuan monks working together to explore the sea sound snail! The sea sound conch seemed to be about to be flattened, crushed, and crushed in an instant. Not only that, but all the beings in the conch snail, including the monks in the conch temple, all seemed to be sensitive, either meditating cross-legged and reciting the Buddha's name, or having to make a fuss to raise the heavens and howl, or hiding everywhere but releasing the slightest thought of not being willing to dieγγγγγγ
"Hurry up and run the sea sound conch with all your might!" the heavenly demon's message also came.
Wu Xuan couldn't even snort coldly about this in his heart, and the endless pressure made Wu Xuan have no time to care. At this moment, as the owner of the sea sound snail, a sea sound snail appeared on the palm, which was no different from the shape of the sea sound snail that he usually saw in the outside world, and even the breath was exactly the same. Without any probing, Wuxu intuitively felt that this was the sea sound conch, or reluctantly called it "ontology". I don't know where it is outside, and what happened to make it appear for the first time. Countless rays of light, light or dark, thick or thin, thousands of wisps, all kinds of colors, from all over the cave world, emerge and converge here, submerged into the sea sound conch on this palm. This is the magic weapon of the sea sound conch, all the beings in the world of one side, all the beings in the world feel the threat of the outside world, and instinctively produce undifferentiated thoughts. Wuxu instantly understood, because one of them shot out of his forehead and disappeared into the small sea sound conch in front of him.
At this time, there was another trick that was imprinted into my own sea of knowledge. Wuxu immediately took the Dharma in turn, solemnly sealed, and recited a mantra in his mouth. I saw that the small sea sound snail in front of me was slowly rising, and at the same time, countless light patterns flashed on it, like a real star.
The pressure outside gradually weakened. Then, Wuxu saw a blurry picture.
More than a dozen figures flew above a small planet, and farther away, there was a vast and dim starry sky, which was said to be a starry sky, but there were only two stars, which seemed to be far apart and seemed to be very close. Let's say that these more than ten figures, one of them, seems to be the closest to Wuxu, Wuxu takes a closer look, it seems to be a demon, but what he sees is a back, and he still doesn't know if it's a man or a woman. And the rest of the figures, there are a few, Wuxu seems to be barely able to recognize that he has seen it, but they are all like the two stars farther away, extremely far and very close.
These dozen figures seemed to be discussing or plotting something of great importance. The atmosphere was solemn, and the words were slow, low and brief. It's a pity that Wuxu can't really hear it. It was only at the end that Wuxu Fang heard a voice after the dust seemed to settle, "Since this is the case, it is the will of heaven." "That's it. "Then let's give it a try!"
Subsequently, Wuxu followed the Heavenly Demon, out of the Tianxin Palace, out of the Great Zhou Palace, and returned to the place where the Demon Clan Mission was located.
γγγγγγ
Wuxu is naturally in the sea sound conch. The Heavenly Demon returned to the Demon Clan's mission, appeared in Wuxu's room, sat in the soft collapse position where Wuxu usually meditated, and threw the Haiyin Conch on the low table in the middle of the soft collapse, and said to Wen Tianxiang, who was standing solemnly in front of him, "Heaven and earth have righteousness, and they are mixed with manifolds. You, a ghost monk, how can you practice such Confucian exercises? β
Wen Tianxiang was silent for a moment, paced slowly, and began to recite.
"Yu prisoner in the north courtyard, sit in a dirt room. The room is eight feet wide and can be four fathoms deep. The single door is low, the white room is short and narrow, and the dirt is dark and darkγγγγγγ β
Wen Tianxiang, when he recited these verses, the surroundings suddenly darkened a little, and the Yin Qi of Sen Sen emanated from his body and spread out to the surroundings.
The Heavenly Demon closed his eyes slightly, and let these gloomy aura pass by him as Wen Tianxiang sang in a low voice. He (she) has a faint demonic aura, trying to be restrained as much as possible, almost nothing. Even if there is a little wisp, it is all hidden in those gloomy yin qi. The only thing that was noticeable was his or her long hair, slowly spreading out and floating, like many alien tentacles. If Wuxu came out of the sea conch and saw this scene, he would definitely think of the lover ghost story.
It's just that Wuxu is in the sea conch, and after the huge pressure from the outside world disappears, he is taking the opportunity to understand how to use himself as a boundary, but he does not pay attention to the outside world.
"Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun starγγγγγγγγ Wen Tianxiang chanted and sang lightly, and suddenly sang with emotion.
A kind of breath of special meaning, erupting and shooting, like a sword, like a bow and crossbow, although it is still gloomy and cold, but it has turned from black to snow-white, but it is mighty and endless, like a soldier who has died in battle, although he has turned into a ghost, he must charge forward.
The figure of the Heavenly Demon suddenly appeared, and then he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wen Tianxiang, shooting a black blood arrow from his mouth. The black blood arrow did not fly directly towards Wen Tianxiang, and as soon as it came out of the mouth of the Heavenly Demon, it immediately shattered and turned into a pitch-black aura.
It's like, a drop of thick ink falls into a pool of clear water. This pitch-black aura immediately spread. In just one breath, most of the room was plunged into darkness, as if it had disappeared forever.
Wen Tianxiang slowly flew up, stretched out his arms, and raised his head to the sky. His lips twitched slightly, as if he were muttering to himself, and he didn't seem to make any sound at all. However, his whole body still released the same aura as Fang Cai, even more snow-white and colder than Fang Cai.
When Wuxu sensed it and came out of the sea conch, he found that he was in a dark and cold place, only to see that Wen Tianxiang's lower body was gone, and only the upper half of his body still exuded a gloomy ghost fire. Vaguely, his eyes were closed, his lips were closed, and only his hands, his head, still facing upwards, seemed to be making a final unyielding, or to freeze it after death.
The whole room seemed to be filled with an air of despair. This kind of despair not only makes people want to die, but also seems to make dead ghosts want to die. This breath of despair, it wants to eliminate everything, even reincarnation.
First, the monks who release this breath of despair are too high in cultivation, and second, Wuxu itself is also a bit of a rejection of the Buddhist theory of the six realms of reincarnation. Therefore, after the enlightenment has waited for a few breaths, it will not be able to resist.
But Wuxu could see that this was a means of overhauling the ghost path, cultivating the meaning of death to the extreme; needless to say, Wen Tianxiang, who was originally a ghost path monk, was even more sensitive and difficult to resist. If it weren't for Wen Tianxiang's chance, he would have cultivated "Song of Righteousness", I am afraid that he would have been assimilated and disappeared completely, or even reincarnation.
Wuxu hurriedly sacrificed the Haiyin Conch, guided the belief of all beings in the Haiyin Conch, and formed an enchantment around the outside of the body. Then, in this enchantment, sit cross-legged and recite the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra.
That breath of despair seems to be extremely sensitive to the recitation of the "Dizo Bodhisattva Original Wish Sutra" by Wuxu, and there are many of them immediately, and they are secretly surging towards Wuxu.
As for the heavenly demons, they don't know where they are hidden or what they are doing.
Enlightenment, there is the belief of the sea conch and the sentient beings in it to protect the body, and recite the "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra", and he is not afraid. But it seems that for a while, there is no need for these desperate breathes.
But at that moment, Wen Tianxiang seemed to move, just like a thousand-year-old statue, which seemed to move for a moment.
After another moment, Wen Tianxiang suddenly let out a dragon groan! His visible upper body instantly turned into a dragon and instantly returned to human form. Then, he slowly lowered his hands, opened his eyes, and shot two fiery rays of light. The whole room seemed to be lit up, and the air of despair seemed to have never been there.
The Heavenly Demon, I don't know when, or has been lying on the soft collapse, smiled a little lazily, "It's cheaper for you!" After speaking, he disappeared.
"Thank you Master Wuxu for your timely help. Wen Tianxiang said to Wuxu.
Wuxu put away the sea sound conch, looked at Wen Tianxiang carefully, and felt that Wen Tianxiang seemed to have something different, but he couldn't say it for a while.
Seeing this, Wen Tianxiang smiled faintly, and said again, "The Heavenly Demon Senior, it seems that he has been hit by the Ten Directions Netherworld Finger of the Sect Master of the Ghost Sect, but he is healing through the hands of Wen Shan and the master. β
"Ten Directions Netherworld?" Wuxu said softly.
"The Ten Directions Netherworld Finger is said to be the supreme magic of the Ghost Sect, and it is also the famous skill of the Ghost Sect Master. It is said that it is silent, but it can recognize the sea and sow despair. In the Ten Directions, not only is the aura not smooth, gradually fading, but also at any time there will be thoughts of having no love and seeking a dead end. Even if a real monk receives it, after a little longer, he will become a headless ghost, or even give up reincarnation," Wen Tianxiang explained slowly.
"I see. Wuxu silently recalled Fang Cai's scene, then looked at Wen Tianxiang and said with a smile, "But fellow Daoist, this time it seems to be a blessing in disguise." β
Wen Tianxiangfu said to Wuxu again, "Thanks to Master Wuxu, he bought some time for Wenshan, and Wenshan was able to use some vague memories obtained on the bones of the black dragon in the world back then, and regained that desperate artistic conception in death, and walked out." β
"Then, Daoyou, is it a ghost or a human now?" Wuxu asked tentatively.
Wen Tianxiang said with a smile, "Wen Shan is naturally still a ghost. What is the difference between the human body and the physical body?"
It is both a human and a ghost, and the practice of reincarnation.
The underworld keeps its wishes, and righteousness lasts forever.
Wuxu suddenly realized something, and then said:
What is the difference between the physical body and the Dharma realm?
This is born with fate, and this mind is the deity.
