It's just a moment, like a sea of vicissitudes.

Yu Zhenyi felt that the tempering of his state of mind was much more terrifying than that of killing demons before. He almost lost himself in this endless enlightenment.

It is no wonder that the monks in the past were the most afraid of demons.

The two-way mirror of life, the practice step by step is tempering.

There are often good and evil in people's hearts, people in the red and turbid world, everyone with fate is a little unsmooth, when the mood is bad, the inner demon will be ready to move and wait for the opportunity to interfere with your state of mind, the balance of good and evil will be tilted,

Therefore, man himself is a small universe, a yin and yang system, when the yin and yang are unbalanced, the body and their own temper will be revealed, and there is the aura in which they are located.

The Taoist view of demons from the inside out can be simply summarized as demons are born by people, and demons are born from the heart. In people's hearts, those who are obsessed with blocking are demonic, and those who are cruel and obscure are demonic. Reflecting to the outside world, the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high. The demonic spirit is deep and the social turmoil is deep, and the turmoil in the outside world will also cause the demonic spirit in the hearts of the people.

What is magic? Ancient grinding from stone.

Emperor Wu of Liang changed the stone to a ghost. The devil is the grind, it is the tribulation, and if the demon is hot, there will be tribulation.

What is a demon? The translation of the "Orthography" says: "Demons are milled from stones in ancient times. Emperor Wu of Liang changed from ghosts. "Grinding originally had the meaning of tempering and trial, and changing stones into ghosts became powerful evil ghosts. This is different from the meaning of the Taoist scriptures.

As far as Taoism is concerned, after the Yuan Shi Tianzun Long Han Kaitur ruled the Three Realms, countless natural gods and spirits ascended to the truth through cultivation. The immortal emperor of the manifest is the chief priest who blesses and educates. Yu Hermit is the Demon Emperor, the main division of protection and punishment.

This is in line with my saying of the two rites. The Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor are both under the command of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and the Demon Emperor Yan Zhen is above Beiyu, and this place is also where the "Thunder City" is located. The Demon Emperor is represented by the Five Great Demon Emperors.

Qingtian Demon King, Ba Yuan Choubo. The Red Sky Demon King, the Negative Sky Burden Stone. The demon king in the daytime, the six eyes of the mountain. The Black Sky Demon King, the prison ugly Lang Fu. The Yellow Sky Demon King, the horizontal sky. The Great Demon of the Five Emperors, the Sect of the Gods. Flying drums from, the general leader of the ghost soldiers. Drum Festival, sightseeing in space. Self-proclaimed Heyi, all the heavens work together. Heaven is a person, and the north is strict. From this, it can be seen that his godhead is the same as that of the Immortal Emperor, and he can reach the realm of the heavens.

"Shangqing Hidden Book" Yuqing Shenxiao Wang said: All ghosts and demons will change endlessly, or sink or float, or see or die, or gather or hide, or hide or form, or qi or death or life, or fly in the clouds or cure the hollow, the five-color trance has no permanent form, so they all inherit the luck of six days, and receive three days, so they can be unbridled and ugly. In the future, the people are not pure, and the evil and rebellion are promoted, so they are allowed to threaten the people to make the truth, and to punish the non-service to be the examiner, so they will not destroy their roots. If the end of the fortune is lost, its anger will disappear, and the people's will will naturally become immortals.

From this, it can be seen that when the Immortal Emperor set up a teaching to measure people, the Demon Emperor and went around to hunt for evil spirits to defend the Hou Xue, and the test and trial of flying in the air can make the Hou Xue know the geometry of the virtue of being quiet and quiet.

The Taoist classics divide the demons into ten categories, and the people who practice the Tao are first clear in the law of control, and there are ten demons, so they are in the article. Scholars build it deeply, don't be tried by demons, it is not difficult to succeed. One is called the Heavenly Demon, the second is the Earth Demon, the third is the Human Demon, the fourth is the Demon Demon, the fifth is the God Demon, the sixth is the Yang Demon, the seventh is the Yin Demon, the eighth is the Disease Demon, the ninth is the Demon, and the tenth is the Realm Demon.

Only the Heavenly Demons of these Ten Demons were tested by the Immortal Emperor, not by wild ghosts or evil demons, and the remaining nine must be dealt with carefully. There are mentions in the scriptures such as tips, seals, mantras, and so on, and it is inconvenient to mention them here.

The Heavenly Demon, the cultivator of the mountain, thought of the dust, and was defeated by the Demon King and could not come true. Cultivating the Fire Pill and cultivating the true cultivation of Haoxing, or seeing the appearance of the shadow, covering the room with hundreds of heavenly fragrances and clouds, or hearing the rhyme of fairy music, this is the test of the heavenly demons, that is, it is not the fulfillment of the righteous path. ”

For the heavenly demons, it can be said that it is "an elephant". It is mentioned in "Sitting and Forgetting the Pivot": "If you think about it." How much do you feel evil. Hundred charms appear at will. A real man. Strange and weird. It's auspicious. ”

Since the body is upright and the heart is silent, the heart is always quiet to Fu Dao Yuan, when you know that the air is invisible, and the tangible is the end of the Tao. If you see the illusion of illusion, if the wind sweeps away and does not catch it, the disillusionment will prove the "Shangjing": "Its demon retreats from itself, and changes the god into the origin of the heavens." This point is true, and the author of the truth is not ordinary ordinary thoughts, when you know that the name is too nameless, the beginning is formless, the wonder of the air is the same, and the beginning of the one is the eternal truth. After the trial of this Heavenly Demon Destroying Illusion, it can be regarded as "the first time to enter the Xuanmen".

The man who is a demon of the earth, the person who walks the hand and changes the god, the book rune water is not right, and he is mostly tried by the demon of the earth. Whoever wants to think about it but has doubts in his heart, or takes out a book and confuses his mind, or does not distinguish his name according to his form, or possesses himself without understanding words, and resists the enemy's Taoism and insults the true text, all of which are not the basis of evil spirits, but also the test of earth demons. ”

For the earth demon, it can be said that "insufficient cultivation" is the result. Bu Gang changed a god, and then when he held the law calligraphy, he had unhealthy thoughts, and the altar Si Chenghuang sensed his evil thoughts and blocked the operation of his mystical law, so that his law was not effective. This is all caused by the fact that the person who holds the Dharma does not correct his mind on weekdays, does not obey the commandments, and the matter of the central internal refining is unknown to others. Taking advantage of the wrong thoughts to confuse their minds even more, in order to show that they are in a hurry to break their minds. If the warning is not awakened, the demons will inevitably turn their hearts, and in the future, they will be ruined and ruined, and there is really no hope of becoming a leader.

Lady demons, there are people who are persistent. Or live in the mountain or enter the house, the calligraphy step to dig out the trick to hold, the party wants to use a thought, or the words are filthy and smelly, chickens, dogs, pregnant women, and other conflict mandalas, so that the confusion of the Dharma body and thinking is not correct, the rune water should not be effective, all of them are tried by people and demons. ”

The saying of humans and demons can be described as "unbroken fate". There are many people who have learned the Tao and cultivated the truth at this point, so they should pay more attention. If there is no entertainment, how can there be vulgar people to make noise on the altar, if you refuse to drink and eat invitations, how can there be fishy things, filthy and smelly rooms, if you are reluctant to rise, what are the conflicts, and there are restless people in the mandala, if there is no show of virtue, how can there be chickens, dogs, and pregnant women. Such a noisy all day long must not be at peace with body and mind, the heart is not far away, the vulgar must be far away, the water should not be ineffective, this is of course, and it is useless to live alone in the mountains.

Husbands and demons, people who practice perseverance, or heal people in the countryside or build altars in the places where corpses are ambushed, a little thought, that is, dreams at night, the houses are empty, birds and rats come out with snakes, insects show their strange shapes, and confuse the Dharma and corrupt the spiritual altar, all of which are tried by demons and demons. ”

As for the statement of demons, it can be said that "the law is not specialized". Those who learn the Tao and cultivate the truth diligently study the Tao to help all sentient beings and accumulate merit, and learn a dedicated and diligent study to be fine, and the kung fu will naturally be proficient over time, if you are greedy

Eager to learn, none of them specialize, and they encounter strong evil ghosts who want to drive them away, but the spell is not pure and the summoning is not refined, so the practitioner is like a clown who sacrifices the world, and it is just to provoke evil and frolic.

"Qingwei Dao Law Hub": "If you don't know how to draw a talisman, you will make the ghosts and gods laugh; "The righteous Tiangang is also divergent, and he keeps his heart quiet to enter his way, and raises his good luck. Having said that, but with a few points of specialization, those who learn the Tao and refine the law must be self-explanatory.

Husbands, gods and demons, people who practice it, or because of exorcism or temple destruction to remove essence and summon souls, and a thought of madness is mostly tried by gods and demons. Or appear in the shadow or make words, the whirlwind of throwing stones and sighs, the changes are varied, and the text of stealing the elixir is stolen, and there is no rest in the body of the law, all of which are tried by the gods and demons.

For the gods and demons, it can be said that "the commandments are not strict". In the past, when the Sa Heavenly Master was wandering outside, when the god was not there, the god asked for the temple of obscenity, so he summoned the heavenly thunder to investigate and kill it. Later, the main god returned to see that he was unwilling, so he asked him to receive a whip to follow the heavenly master and hit him if he wanted to serve him for violating the precepts. After 12 years, I did not see any violations of the precepts, so I sincerely admired and asked myself to be the protector of the Heavenly Master. Those who learn the Tao and those who practice the law must take precepts to stop the gods and ghosts, and naturally they dare not disturb each other.

Fu Yang Demon, the practitioner is trying to be an expert, in order to help life and death, the mind is not true or ** around, resentment and hatred are affected by feelings, troubles and worries about right and wrong, this Yang Demon is also trying.

The saying of the yang demon can be said to be "life is not careful", which has been seen in many dynasties. Cultivators should be careful to always be quiet and cultivate righteousness inside, those who are inside are always at peace with those outside, and those who are common are grateful for death and life are the same. If the heart is not finished, the cultivation will be prosperous, the body will be strong, the desire will be great, the vulgar thoughts will be constant, there will be resentment from time to time, and the people will inevitably be worried and troubled if they are not finished. Those who put their lives before sex must work harder on this matter.

The husband of the Yin Demon, the person who lives in the mountains practices the text, or enters the room when he thinks about it, and hears the sad and cold wind of the Four Wild Songs when he has a bad thought, and he is greedy and angry, and when he talks about miscellaneous words, he declares death, or walks on the road and encounters the corpse and blood is disgusted with my divine light, all of which are tried by the Yin Demon.

For the yin demon, it can be said that "the qi is not pure". Before thinking about it, you should know that the qi of the Tao is upright and vast, and the life is endless, so you only take the true anger and do not need to be mixed. And if the cultivator does not take this as a division, he will be at a loss and have no choice in everything, and when he thinks about the cultivation, he will have a bad thought, that is, he will be inspired by the non-material or the thought of the left way, and he will not be extinguished and will inevitably lose the way if he touches the mind for a long time.

When the four major irrational diets are poor, the cold and heat disorders are often born, and the lingering does not recede and damage the practice, and the disease is also tried.

Husbands and demons, there are many mountains and forests. Anyone who enters Jing to practice is not true, and there are many foxes, mountain spirits, stone monsters, and demons, and people are afraid of becoming enlightened and turning into bewitching in order to seek food and lodging, or singing gorgeous poems to show their shadows. Therefore, the best people are taboo.

As for the saying of demons, it can be said that "righteousness is insufficient", and the "Dao Law Hub" may ask: What is the way to control evil? The teacher said: But if you cultivate yourself and be right, you can control it immediately. Zi Buwen "The demon of the flower moon doesn't dare to see Di Liang Gonghu?"

And this sentence was originally from Yuan Mu's "The Ballad of Ganze" Su E said: "Please don't call Liang Gong, and now I will call him, and I won't be resurrected." After thinking about it, he asked, "A certain monster is the demon of Huayue, and God sent him to rejuvenate the Li clan with the heart of Liang Gong." Today, Liang Gong is a righteous person at the time, and he dare not see it. ”。

Those who learn the Tao and cultivate the truth, the heart is bright, so the demons and evil spirits dare not enter the body, and the mountain spirits and evil spirits compete to play, and they must have a bad heart and a loss in the dark room.

The demons of the realm, when they are holding or in the other rooms of the road, they see a thing and think of greed and hatred, they look at it and listen to evil sounds, or they enter the room and see the end of the weather and shadows, all of which are tried by the demons of the realm. ”

For the realm of demons can be said to be "quiet is insufficient", people who learn the Tao and cultivate the truth are born outside, and they see all kinds of colors, shapes, sounds, goods, and strange things, and they can seek the same but not be greedy. When you enter the room, you can see the auspicious interior scene, and you can't be illusioned.

"Tranquility": "Looking inwardly at the heart, the heart has no heart, the appearance is in its form, the form has no form, and the object is seen from afar, and the thing has nothing." The three are enlightened, but they can only be seen in emptiness. The view of the sky is also empty, and the emptiness is empty. There is nothing, nothing and nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing, and silence. "But knowing that it is too void and nameless, the beginning is invisible, and entering the realm of extinction is always silent. The heart can always be silent, and this is the same way.

Liezi told a story. It is said that there is a person in the country of Qi who has taken a fancy to other people's gold, and he dressed up early this morning and went out to the gold shop, and when he went to the gold shop, he picked up the gold and left. The official was curious and asked, "Why do you dare to take other people's gold?" The man replied, "When I took the gold, I could only see the gold, but not the people." ”

Therefore, Taoism says that those who are obsessed with blocking are demonic, and no matter what they are attached to, they will inevitably block their hearts, and then they will not see Mount Tai in a blind eye, and they will not see anyone when they take gold.

You must first have the courage to see through life and death, and then you can subdue demons.

The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high, which is certain. When you practice to the depths of kung fu, it is inevitable that there will be no demons. There are inner demons and outer demons, and the outer demons are easy to retreat, but the inner demons are difficult to fall. If you can't descend, you will be enchanted, and not only will you lose your cultivation, but you will also be in danger.

In the mythological system of Buddhism and Taoism, the demon also occupies an important part, is the biggest obstacle and opponent in the practice, we know that Buddhism has the Buddha, Taoism has the Taoist, they are almost the supreme existence in their respective mythological systems, why the Buddha, the Taoist ancestor is so powerful, but they can't destroy the demon?

The reason why Buddhism and Taoism are said together is because Buddhism and Taoism have many similarities in their concepts of demons, while Buddhism and Taoism talk about demons and demons are very complex, and they do not simply refer to all demons, demons, and evil forces.

In Buddhist theory, the demon refers to all obstacles that hinder the practice, and this demon can probably be divided into two kinds, one is the emotions in the human heart, the demon derived from **, which belongs to a person's own troubles, and the other is the real existence, the demon who survives on the sixth day of the desire realm.

In the Buddhist system, the three worlds are divided into the world of desire, the world of color, and the world of colorlessness, of which the world of desire has six days, and the sixth is the heaven of his incarnation, this celestial person is headed by the demon king Bo Xun, who likes to hinder the practice of people in Buddhism the most, and the demon king Bo Xun is also the old opponent of the Buddha Shakyamuni, and even persecuted the Buddha Nirvana.

The demon in the heart of the person is the two sides of a person's body, no matter how great the Buddha's ability is, it is impossible to destroy the demon in the heart, if the demon is destroyed directly, it is equivalent to destroying all sentient beings, obviously the Buddha is impossible to do this, can only guide the savient beings to investigate by themselves.

So why can't the Buddha directly destroy the great devil Bo Xun? Bo Xun is a celestial being, and he is also one of the sentient beings in the Three Realms, and the Buddha Pudu sentient beings, naturally including Bo Xun, if he is directly eliminated, it proves that the Buddha also has people who can't save him, so what kind of Buddha is it? Therefore, we can only use the method of Huairou.

Therefore, the final outcome of Bo Xun can only be a blessing

exhausted, and eventually become a Buddha by the Buddha, which is also said in the Buddhist scriptures. The so-called putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, and undergoing the test of demons, is also the way to become a Buddha. Therefore, although the Buddha has great powers, he cannot directly destroy all demons.

In the Taoist mythological system, there are immortal emperors and demon emperors, the immortal emperor is blessed and educated, and the demon emperor is the main secretary of protection and punishment, which is the manifestation of the yin and yang sides of the avenue, that is to say, from the root, the immortal and the demon are one.

Of course, there are many kinds of demons in Taoism, and not all of them have such a realm as the Demon Emperor, so why can't this ordinary demon be destroyed......? Therefore, it is allowed to make the people feel true, and to punish the non-service to be an examiner, so it will not destroy its roots.

It probably means that Taoism believes that the biggest role of demons is the tempering of people, and the test of demons itself is a kind of practice, just like the invigilator, only after passing the exam can he become an immortal, so Daozu will not destroy all demons.

Moreover, Taoism regards "Tao" as the highest belief. The Tao is formless and formless, and gives birth to all things in heaven and earth. The manifestation of the Tao in people and all things is "virtue". Therefore, all things are respectful and virtuous. Dao is scattered for qi, and gathering is for god. Immortals are not only the embodiment of the Tao, but also the model of enlightenment. The gods take the purpose of helping the world. Therefore, Taoists not only believe in morality, but also worship immortals. The highest god believed in Taoism is the "Three Qings", followed by the Jade Emperor and other four emperors, and the third is the heavenly gods. Other gods with different responsibilities, the common people are most familiar with the gods of wind, rain, thunder, electricity, water, and fire, as well as the god of wealth, the god of the stove, the city god, the land, etc.

There are two kinds of so-called gods in Taoism, one is the innate god, which is the representative of the origin of heaven and earth, such as Sanqing. One is the god after tomorrow, and after death, he is a good person or a person with great merit and is named a god of heaven and earth. Immortal is acquired, which refers to the cultivation of some special immortal methods.

The main members of the monster family, cultivated by animals and plants, have a humanoid or almost humanoid form, have a certain amount of mana, can be active during the day and night, and usually have a certain degree of harm to people. It should be especially pointed out that if the animals and plants are dedicated to the good and enlightened in the process of cultivation, it is possible to cultivate into immortals, and if they fail to cultivate immortals or do not meet the guidance of famous teachers or develop in the direction of evil on their own, they will become demons.

Buddhism refers to all mental activities that disturb the body and mind, destroy good deeds, and hinder spiritual practice as "demons." Demons possess at least two basic characteristics: they are powerful and harmful to humans. Only with these two conditions can you be called a demon. The demon can be a kind of demon, it is a senior demon, and the demon is far more powerful than the ordinary demon in terms of mana.

The difference between demons and demons is also that demons may have fallen into the evil path by immortals and gods, rather than being directly cultivated by animals and plants. Due to the vast mana of the demon and the complex background, the ordinary immortal is probably not an opponent of the demon, and the heavenly court usually has nothing to do with the demon, and the demon generally has a bit of a villain flavor. Demons usually take on a humanoid or near-human form, and can live during the day and at night.

It should be pointed out that the most harmful type of demon is called the inner demon, which is not cultivated by any living or non-living being, but is just some illusions that disrupt the cultivation of people or animals due to their own conditions in the process of cultivating immortals. Many immortal cultivators and animals have entered the demon path and become a member of the demon. Those who cultivate immortals are not once and for all, and they have to be tested regularly, and the content of the test is usually against the demons, and those who can't resist will fall into demons, and join the team of demons with honor. Therefore, the devil is really powerful.

A ghost is the soul of a person after death. Ghosts are the most yin things, commonly known as ghosts, that is, the yang life is over, the body of the yang disappears, and only the non-physical image remains. The ghost is a pure yin body, so it has a little superpower, but it is so weak that it can't even be called a spell. Ghosts are mainly formed by the soul of a person after death, and can usually only move in the underworld. There are also individual mundane things in the yang world that have not been avenged and have not been avenged, and they will return to the yang world.

Of course, it is forbidden to do this, and once discovered, severe punishment is usually imposed. Oni can only come out at night in the yang world, and their strength is very weak, and they can usually only scare people without causing substantial harm to people. There are generally three ways out of ghosts, one is to reincarnate as a human or animal or animal, this is the most common, reincarnation as a human or animal or plant is completely based on the merits of the yang world, of course, you can also bribe the deacon of the Yin Division to seek a good way of reincarnation.

One is to suffer in the hell set up by the Yin Division, this is also very common, mainly for the ghosts who become after the death of people who do a lot of evil in the yang world, and there are also some good people who are wronged and suffer all the hell suffering after death;

There are two main types of essence, one refers to the state of animals and plants in the cultivation process, that is, before becoming a monster or immortal but already having some mana, such as rabbit essence, spider essence, ginseng essence, tree spirit, etc., the mana is slightly smaller than the demon, and it is also slightly more kind than the demon. The other type of "essence" is completely different, mainly referring to non-living objects cultivated into a human form or similar to a human form, with a certain amount of mana. The more famous ones are the white bone essence, the pipa essence, etc., this kind of "essence" is much evil and has great harm to people. No matter what kind of "fine", it can be active during the day and at night.

Objectively speaking, among the demons and monsters, the number of ghosts is the largest, but due to the limitations of the system and mana, the number of disasters in the world is not large, and it will not cause substantial harm to people. There are also a lot of demons and elves, but they usually hide in the mountains and forests, and they generally don't take the initiative to hurt people. The magic power of demons is vast and can harm humans, but the number of demons is very small.

Summarizing the above points, it is easy to see that the immortals have gone through thousands of disasters and difficulties, and after going through a long and arduous road of potholes and twists and turns, they can be included in the immortal class to develop to a higher level.

The laws of heaven are strict and fair, and if there is a serious violation, it is to return to the mortal world and go through a lot of hardships for people again. However, their cultivation is so hard, a few simple mantras or rituals can attach an "immortal" who has practiced for more than a thousand years to a mortal who does not fast and has all kinds of interests in his heart?

Are they so unwise to violate the rules of heaven and destroy their ways and deeds "for the sake of the mortals they 'possess' themselves"? The existence of the immortal path leads people to goodness and makes people have a higher ideological consciousness, instead of indulging the worldly desires of mortals and allowing them to do whatever they want to fulfill the various wishes of mortals. The demons and monsters like to pretend to be immortals, using human beings' fear and worship of immortals in order to achieve their goals, and possession is a common thing.
