Chapter 438: Hongjun Comes to Collect Disciples
In addition to preaching, the three saints, Hongjun Sage, Supreme Sage, and Nuwa Sage, of course, also had to discuss the Tao with each other, confirm what they have learned, and answer questions and doubts for the living beings present.
For other non-saint beings, the most important thing is, of course, the process of answering questions.
A creature asked, "Three saints, do you know how many ways to sanctification?"
Hongjun Sage said: "I originally thought that there were four ways to sanctify in this world, and later there were examples of the True Sage and the Nuwa Sage, but for the time being, I only know five. The first is like the great god Pangu, who opens up the world and becomes sanctified by strength; the second is like me, who cultivates a certain practice to the extreme and becomes sanctified by the law; the third is like the true saint who is sanctified by faith; the fourth is like the saint Nuwa, who is sanctified by merit; the fifth is sanctified by beheading three corpses; and the sixth is sanctified by the grand wish of heaven and earth. I think there should be other methods between heaven and earth, but they are all the same as these six methods. β
Someone else asked, "What is the sanctification of beheading three corpses, and what is the sanctification of the great wish of heaven and earth?"
The true sage said: "According to legend, to cut off the three corpses is to cut off one's own good thoughts, evil thoughts and oneself, that is, obsession, the deity is quiet and inactive, and the three incarnations are achieved. After the three corpses are killed, and then the three corpses become one, and the incarnation and the body are completely fused without distinguishing each other, and at this time they can be transformed into billions. Cutting off three corpses can use all kinds of innate spiritual treasures, preferably innate supreme treasures, to place divine thoughts on spiritual treasures. β
In fact, the method of beheading the three corpses is not so much a method, but a self-purification and improvement, and anyone has three "selves", namely the ego (completely subconscious, the desire self), the id (most of the conscious, realistic self) and the superego (partially conscious, moral self), if the popular self is the free man or savage who ignores the rules and does whatever he wants, the ego is a civilized person who knows the rules and does things according to the rules, and the superego is a "saint" who transcends the rules and conforms to the rules. The beheading of the three corpses is the process of separating the human self, id, and superego from the ontology by means of sustenance, so that the ontology is constantly purified and perfected, that is, the rules of the whole world are clarified and the rules are transcended.
Nuwa went on to explain: "Sanctification with the great wish of heaven and earth is similar to sanctification with merit, except that one has made a contribution to heaven and earth, and heaven and earth have sent great merit to sanctify it, and to be sanctified with heaven and earth, one can promise to make great contributions to heaven and earth, and heaven and earth will also send great merits to help him become holy." β
A creature was pleasantly surprised: "As long as you make a promise, you can make a promise, so isn't everyone able to promise a great contribution and become holy with the grand wish of heaven and earth?"
Nuwa smiled and said, "How is that possible, first of all, your cultivation realm and cultivation are there, and you have the qualifications of a saint, and secondly, the contribution you promised has a great possibility of being realized from your own point of view, so that it is possible to succeed." Also, the most important thing is that if you don't fulfill your promises, the result will be very miserable, and it's not just a sainthood. β
Of course, there are also the high and low levels of the path of the saints, the cultivation method of the way of the saints, and so on.
After some exchanges, it is time for an important moment, and it is also a moment that many people know, and it is time to accept apprentices.
The three saints of Hongjun Sage, the True Sage, and the NΓΌwa Sage discussed the Tao, in addition to spreading the way of the sage to the desolate world, the inheritance of the Tao system is also an aspect.
The beings who were able to come to participate in the Discourse were all the best in the desolate world, and it was also of great benefit to the saints to be able to willingly become their own disciples.
Originally, including the True Saint and the Nuwa Saint, they all intended to accept disciples, but when they talked about it, they frowned.
The sage of Nuwa sent a message to Zhang Haotian: "Sir, I also intend to accept apprentices, but there is no suitable candidate, can Mr. teach me?"
This is also the problem of the true saint and Zhang Haotian, through the scene of the Tao, it was found that everyone in the desolate world at this time focused on cultivating themselves, and they were not disgusted with the sanctification of faith and merit, but they were interested.
If nothing else, let's just say that merit is sanctified, in addition to the great merit of mending the sky, where is there such a great merit in the development of the desolate world now, and it is almost impossible to rely on merit to become holy.
Speaking of the power of faith, after all, if it is false to external objects, if you can rely on yourself, why do you need external objects?
Zhang Haotian thought about it, but felt that this was not a matter of exercises, but the reason why the spiritual energy of the desolate world was abundant and the spiritual cultivation of all living beings was relatively easy, and sighed: "The time has not come, the opportunity has not been decided, and you can't force it." β
However, the Hongjun saint has become a fragrant bait, and many living beings have actively asked him for advice on the method of cultivation, and often communicate with him privately.
According to Hanzhen's feedback, Lao Tzu has preliminarily decided on the candidate for disciples.
Therefore, when the Hongjun Saint reappeared, the True Saint and the Nuwa Saint did not appear, and Fu Xi and Zhang Haotian also hid on one side and did not appear at the scene.
When the Hongjun sage sat on the high platform, the clear voice spread throughout the audience: "The three saints have been talking about the Tao for many years, and it is over today." Poor Dao intends to accept apprentices, I wonder what everyone thinks?"
What can you think, being accepted as an apprentice by a saint is not only a glorious thing, but it will naturally be no longer a matter of cultivation in the future.
The most important thing is that with a saint as a backer, you can walk sideways in the desolate world in the future.
Compared with the hot eyes and desire of many living beings to have expressions, Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhun Ti are expressionless, but their hearts are turbulent.
With their infinitely close to the realm of the saint level, Zhang Haotian could not see through the true thoughts of his heart through the eyes of creation, but could only vaguely feel their bitterness, unwillingness and helplessness.
And Kunpeng also had complex emotions such as struggle and excitement. Because Kunpeng's emotions were too intense, Zhang Haotian was able to probe his heart.
Kunpeng's heart was extremely complex and contradictory: "I am a demon clan, once I am accepted as an apprentice by the Hongjun Sage, although I can have no scruples in the future, and even the Nuwa Sage can contend with it, but after all, this has to take refuge in the innate beings, will the Nuwa Sage and the people of the demon clan have an idea?......
At this time, the Hongjun Sage shouted: "I intend to set up a Xuanmen and practice the Fa-rectification. I have cultivated for countless years, and I have realized the way of the saint, but I know that the saint needs to have the qualifications of the saint to become enlightened, and now there are six Hongmeng purple qi, which is the foundation of the avenue, and refining it can become holy!"
Hearing that with Hongmeng Purple Qi cultivation, you can become enlightened, all living beings were shaken by it.
Zhang Haotian is no stranger to Hongmeng Purple Qi, but when he heard that it can be sanctified, he was first shocked, and then puzzled, including the True Saint and the Nuwa Saint: "Why haven't we heard anything about Hongmeng Purple Qi? What's going on?"
At this moment, the sage of Hongjun pointed with his hand and said: "Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi, Tongtian, the three of you are transformed by Pangu Qingqi, you have great merits in the desolate world, your roots are deep, and you practice Xuangong hard, can you wish me to be a disciple?"
Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi, and Tongtian hurriedly stood up and said, "The disciple is willing!"
The Hongjun sage hit the three Hongmeng purple qi towards Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi, and Tongtian, making the three of them all very happy.
Lao Tzu pointed again: "Introduction, Zhun Ti, the two of you are also extraordinary, the exercises are unique, there is no Xuangong, I want to accept you two as registered disciples today, are you willing?"
The guide and Zhun Ti were also busy saying: "Thank you, teacher!"
The Hongjun Sage slapped 2 Hongmeng purple qi towards the guide and Zhun Ti, making the two of them smile on the same face.
Lao Tzu pointed again: "The futon under the seat is not sitting in vain, but it means that you and I have a fate." However, Kunpeng is an anomaly, and you and I have no master-apprentice relationship. β
When Kunpeng heard this, his ambivalence was gone, but he was very depressed, and said in his heart: "Hongmeng purple qi is gone, that is the foundation of sanctification!"
I don't want Hongjun Sage to continue: "Although there is no fate between master and apprentice, I can reward you with a Hongmeng purple qi, and I hope you will cherish it." β
Kunpeng was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the sage's reward, I don't dare to forget the sage's great kindness." β
Seeing the situation at the scene, Zhang Haotian did not forcibly seize the idea of Hongmeng Purple Qi, the foundation of the saint's enlightenment, but frowned, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
In fact, Zhang Haotian originally had the opportunity to obtain this Hongmeng Purple Qi, and the Hongjun Sage had specifically found Nuwa Sage and Zhang Haotian before, explaining that he could give him a Hongmeng Purple Qi, but Zhang Haotian refused.
It's not that he is great, Zhang Haotian himself is also extremely arrogant, he can break through the saint level by himself at any time, why do he need others to give Hongmeng purple qi to advance, not to mention how much cause and effect it is to help others become holy, so he may have to pay more, so he had to refuse. 18310
