Chapter 12, Heavenly Dragon Recitation
The genus of the five poisons has a special appearance, which has always been fearful, and those who are weak will feel creepy and numb at a glance.
Although Su Chong had learned a body of swordsmanship, he had no ability to resist poison, so when he saw the centipede at this time, he didn't dare to take the risk, so he only pointed and asked, "Sister Anadan, the Tianlong incense you are talking about is the centipede?"
Anadan shook his head with a smile, and while shaking the clumped centipede straightened, he explained: "Ordinary centipedes can't change into Tianlong incense. It has to be the shell left by the centipede that has been cultivated by the organic fate to function the divine soul. If a centipede cultivates into a yin god, survives another thunderstorm, and incarnates a little yang and qi in the soul to feed its own body, then its body will be the best heavenly dragon incense. ”
Su Chong listened and asked, "Centipedes can also practice?"
"Of course," Anadan walked to the table, picked a chair and sat down, and put the golden centipede on the table, stretching out a finger to poke and play, "The genus of the five poisons is qualitative, single-minded, and not as impetuous and restless as other living beings, so if you have the opportunity to practice, your achievements are much better than idleness." This centipede was cultivated into the Yin God, but in the end, the catastrophe failed, and the soul was scattered, leaving only its body. Although this is not the best Tianlong incense, it is also extremely rare, and it is the best in my family's collection. ”
"Tsk!" Su Chong smacked his tongue in surprise, and couldn't help but lean over to take a closer look.
When Anadan waited for him to get closer, his fingers quickly pressed on the centipede's head, and he didn't know what method he used, and the centipede turned into a cloud of ashes, leaving only a misty smoke mixed with golden light, which could not be dodged into Su Chong's nose.
Suddenly, there was a bang in his head, his mind was suddenly overwhelmed by the immeasurable light, and the whole person was no longer conscious, and his body involuntarily sat down.
I don't know how long it took for Su Chong to regain himself, but he found himself in a strange world.
At this moment, he could not move, his mouth could not speak, he seemed to sink and float in the air, but fortunately, his mind was at peace, as if he was in a state of mind, and he was like watching from a dream, and he was not terrified.
In an instant, the world changed, and two creatures appeared—one was an old monk, who was described as thin, and the other was a centipede, with a hideous appearance.
The centipede swam in front of the old monk, and suddenly curled up and accumulated, as if it was about to pounce and kill the past.
Seeing this, the old monk's thin body grew steeply to three zhang high, pinched the treasure seal in his hand, wrapped his waist with golden light, shirtless and barefoot, majestic and intimidating.
The centipede was startled, and swam back in an instant, fangs and claws, eager to try.
The old monk laughed and recited aloud: "Great power and wide power, eight heavenly dragons." Compassion, north, south, west and east. Exalted and indulged, exalted and degraded. The reason is self-evident, and the midges are not abandoned......"
The sound of chanting together, the centipede's minions were immediately closed.
The old monk was pleased, continued to work hard, stopped with a thousand words, and finally said: "You have murderous intentions and blind the true spirit." Listen to the scriptures and realize them, and fade away the hideous. ”
When the centipede heard this, he retreated three feet and bowed to the prime minister, and suddenly his soul came out of his body, turning into a golden dragon, flying into the sky and leading his neck to groan.
The point of light disappeared, and Su Chong knew that the old monk was talking about the "Heavenly Dragon Sutra for Protecting the Dharma", also known as "Heavenly Dragon Chanting".
Practicing according to the law, you can turn your evil thoughts into the Dharma Protector Heavenly Dragon, the heavier the killing intention, the stronger the Heavenly Dragon, and the ability to subdue demons and overcome misfortune, which can be called the supreme supernatural power.
He was happy in his heart, and his fixed state was broken, as if he woke up in a dream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the light of the sky.
On the side, Anadan was squatting on the ground and waiting boredly, when he saw Su Chong wake up, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Su Chong, what did you see when you entered the time?"
"This heavenly dragon incense is really a treasure, I have learned a door with its help, and I can rely on it to subdue demons and protect myself. ”
After that, Su Chong silently observed himself, only to feel that the injury was gone, and his soul was much more condensed than before, so he knew the preciousness of Tianlong Incense even more, and said with a heavy heart: "Sister Anadan, you took out such a valuable treasure for me to use, but how can you explain it to your family when you turn around?
Anadan smiled: "Brother Su Chong, if you can do me a favor, we will not owe each other." ”
"What help?" Su Chong asked, thinking in his heart: "Although Anadan is young, she is afraid that her Dao cultivation is much better than me, not to mention that she has a family behind her, but what does she need to find an outsider to help me?"
"It's not big or small," the little girl said, "I've been keeping you all night, I'm going to go home and sleep first, and I'll talk to you later." ”
Hearing what she said, Su Chong noticed that the light in the room had changed, and he was secretly surprised: "It took a whole night to settle this time?"
Anadan had already gotten up and walked to the door at this time, and after opening the door, he turned back and said, "Brother Su Chong, if my father sends someone to ask, you will say that I pestered you to tell you a story all night, don't mention Tianlong Xiang." Seeing Su Chong nodding in response, she put her mind at ease, flashed out of the door, and ran towards the house with a jump.
Su Chong looked at her back for a long time, then finally smiled and said to himself: "I thought I was already great when I was young, but I didn't expect to meet a more elf when I came to southern Yunnan." I don't know what this Anadan wants me to do for her...... I'm afraid it won't be too lightweight. ”
After making some guesses about Anadan's purpose, Su Chong finally shook his head and said in his heart: "Just wait for her to come again, there will naturally be an answer." No matter how much I guess, I can't do it for sure. It is imperative to take a good look at the harvest of this night. ”
So he got up and bolted the door, and went back to the bedside and sat down.
Closing his eyes and concentrating, Su Chong took up the contemplation of sacrificing the divine sword, and when he thought about it, he felt that the whole person had fallen into an egg.
This mental scene of mental illusion was actually born in the mud pill palace behind the eyebrows. It is said that this place is "Purple Mansion", also known as "Heart Field", which is the place where the soul is sustenance, and the place where the mind is born and dies.
In the past, when Su Chong visualized this scene, he often felt that the egg fetus was empty and unreal, and the body condensed by his thoughts was like a ghost, and the distracting thoughts of his life would be shattered.
This time, when he meditated, he found that his mind was much more condensed. Especially the body, as if it is a living person, every gesture is accompanied by a powerful way. He felt a sense of joy, but his heart was not affected.
Turning his mind again, Su Chong had another sword in his hand.
This sword is dazzling, sharp and sharp, which is the result of the murderous intent and sword intent that he has cultivated over the years of holding the sword.
Su Chong raised his sword and played with it for a while, and suddenly took a step forward, easily breaking the fetal egg. The next moment, the divine soul came out of the body, and there was a gust of yin wind.
The reason why this vision arises is because the essence of the divine soul is yin, and once it leaves the body, it will collapse irrepressibly when it encounters the yang and qi between heaven and earth—this is the origin of the yin wind.
There are five levels for the entry to the spiritual practice. The first is the achievement of the mind, the second is the out-of-body fugue, the third is the outward release of the mind, the fourth is the manifestation of the saint through the body, and the fifth is the inner scene and the outward appearance.
When the mind is complete, you can perform the surgery anytime and anywhere.
If the out-of-body is complete, you can travel thousands of miles and not return for several days.
The release of thoughts refers to the fact that the soul does not hide, and only one or several thoughts are released to perform Taoism.
Manifesting holiness through the body is about using the soul to attach to external objects, turning the invisible into the tangible, just like creating another body, which is better than the physical body.
The interior and exterior are already at the stage of building a successful foundation. When you cultivate to this point, you will be able to manifest the heaven and earth in your heart outside your body, and when your mind moves, you will have wind and rain and rain, which is really as sacred.
Su Chong had not been able to visualize the perfection of his own mental scene for a short time, and his soul was weak in nature, and he was far from being able to get out of the fugue.
Thanks to the sword intent and murderous intent honed by years of sword practice to protect the divine soul, this can fight against the qi of yang and reluctantly leave the body for a moment.
Most of the Taoist priests in the concept of killing are the same--give up the divine sword, and take it as soon as it is released--they dare not let the divine soul leave the body for too long.
If it is delayed for a long time after the operation, once the murderous intent fades and the sword intent is dissipated, the divine soul will be exposed to the heavens and the earth, so it will be difficult to escape the fate of the soul scattered.
Only this time, Su Chong did not rely on the murderous sword intent for protection after the soul came out of the body, nor did he return immediately, but only relied on his mind to resist the erosion of Yang and Qi, and stayed in one place, carefully savoring the feeling when the soul was out of the body.
The spirit has no ears and eyes, but the sense is extremely supernatural. With his current cultivation, he can not only see the physical body sitting stiffly, but also investigate all kinds of things within a radius of fifty zhang.
From the shopkeeper and the guys who are getting up and dressing, to the reptiles drinking dew on the grass outside the window, all reflect their hearts as if they are close at hand.
This induction only lasted for a moment, and Su Chong felt that his mind was dissipating, but he couldn't cultivate, and he stayed outside for too long, and finally couldn't bear it. So he hurriedly gathered his thoughts, and his soul moved, and entered through the fontanelle above his head, returning to himself.
But seeing that his body trembled, he opened his eyes again, and although his expression was a little weak, he still showed a smile.
"Tianlong incense is really a supernatural treasure, as soon as it is replenished, my soul will be condensed several times, and now the 'heart scene achievement' level is generally considered complete, as long as you practice diligently to view the idea in the future, it will not be long before you can really get out of the body fugue. ”
Su Chong was a little anxious about the next achievement, and he looked forward to it for a while before he resettled down and tried to cultivate what he had newly learned.
To practice this method, one must know the true meaning of the Heavenly Dragon and the true form of the Heavenly Dragon. For those who have never seen a dragon before, this may be a difficult level to overcome.
However, because Su Chong had a memory in the fixed realm, he only needed to think about it for a while, and he could outline the formation of the heavenly dragon with his mind without the slightest difficulty.
However, after trying it once, he found a difficulty, "This Dharma Protector Heavenly Dragon must be born with evil thoughts in his heart, but I have never been hostile overnight, so where should I find evil thoughts to use now?"
According to the Buddhist scriptures that have been circulated in the world, there are eight Dharma protectors in Buddhism, which are the celestial beings, the dragon people, the Gandharva, the kinara, the asuras, the garudas, and the maharajas.
Not all of these eight Dharma protectors were born to admire the Buddha, such as the dragons, Garudas, and Asuras, all of whom were enemies of the Buddha, and were finally subdued by the great gods, and only then did they become the protectors of the Buddha.
And because the number of celestial beings and dragons among the Dharma Protector Gods is the largest, these two parties will be the head, collectively known as the Eight Heavenly Dragon Protectors.
This allusion is actually the Dharma principle that is followed, which can be used to surrender evil thoughts that are not conducive to one's own cultivation and transform them into majestic and combative protectors, so as to subdue demons and eliminate demons and protect oneself.
The foundation of this Dharma is on evil thoughts.
And the origin of evil thoughts is nothing more than the words jealousy, hatred, and hatred.
The heavier one's evil thoughts, the more clever the Dharma Protector Celestial Dragon will be transformed after surrendering.
