Chapter Forty-Nine: Dongyue Temple asked, Nanguo County died
Dozens of torches were lit on the top of the city at one time, and the surrounding fires were brightened. A pair of bald soldiers ran in the direction of the city gate.
But at this time, the development of the enemy has run away, although there are only two figures, but they do not dare to chase at this time, who knows if there is an ambush in the night.
Two soldiers who were already dead had been carried out. One of the leaders checked the cause of death, and the other twisted his neck and stabbed himself in the heart, no less than redundant, and seemed to be a master.
The lamp-lit monk who hung on the head of the city was also taken down, although or, but unconscious, and did not develop any injuries.
A few guards went back to restore their lives, and Shangguan Chuanyun and Daoist Ren were discussing the way of cultivation in the Dantang of Dongyue Temple.
Shangguan Chuanyun asked.
"Master Ren, what are the paths of cultivation?"
The Taoist Daoist Shangguan Chuanyun only inherited a line of Taoism, and there were few people to guide him by hand, so he wanted to mention it more, so he said.
"Do lay people know how many times the Dharma has, and how many immortals there are?"
Shangguan Chuanyun thought about it for a while, but also summed up some insights by himself, and said.
"According to the disciple's opinion, there are five levels of immortals, and there are three vehicles of the law. ”
Taoist priest Ren said, "Good, can lay people know which three percent, which five?"
Shangguan Chuanyun replied, "Immortals are the fifth rank of heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts, and the three vehicles of the law are the upper, middle and lower three vehicles. ”
Daoist Ren said again, "Do you know the path of cultivation?"
"Human immortals are cultivated by martial artists, which can be inferior methods, immortals are Shinto cultivators called immortals, for the middle grade, ghost immortals are soul cultivators, and they are also inferior grades, earth immortals are immortals who are immortal and cannot soar, and heavenly immortals are cultivators who fly to Penglai, and they can only be achieved by the two types of high-grade cultivation methods. Shangguan Chuanyun said without thinking about it.
"Haha, no, no. The layman only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. Daoist Ren said with a smile.
Shangguan Chuanyun was not puzzled, he did know a little about these things, so he bowed his head to Daoist Ren and said.
"Please ask the master to guide the disciples. ”
Ren Taoist stroked his beard, nodded, in the law of a sect of Taoist veins, lay people to instruct, or with the joy of merit and good karma, you can call the teacher.
But the disciples at home in the Daomen, when they see the Taoist in the Guanli, or the Huoju Taoist, they all respect the master.
But for one's own master, only those who give themselves to the Tao can be called masters.
Among the details can not be left unnoticed.
Daoist Ren was satisfied with Shangguan Chuanyun's title of himself, and said as soon as he saw him.
"The law is so low, but there is no order in the Tao, and cultivating the immortal Dao, the gods, the gods, the people, and the ghosts is not the goal, but the realm.
They are all cultivated by people, thousands of methods, and different paths lead to the same end, all of which are based on enlightenment.
The ghost immortal is the general name of the most preliminary beginning of the immortal road. Nourishing the body and building a foundation, in order to nourish the soul, can go out of the body and enter the body without hindrance, and the meridians of Zhou Tian are for the ghosts and immortals.
”
Shangguan Chuanyun listened quietly, many times he thought that he would cultivate his sword immortal method in one breath to the end to be a heavenly immortal, but I don't know what the realm is, it is divided into nourishing qi and strengthening the soul, collecting qi and refining qi, small returning pills, large returning pills, golden pills, yuan gods, heavenly immortals, these levels, as for some understanding, they are also confused.
Then I heard Daoist Ren say.
"The immortal Xiao Zhoutian cycle is complete, the breath is held in the dantian, breathing from the outside to the inside, and it can be achieved only after a small death and a big life. For example, the highest level of martial arts is also a human immortal, and he cannot transcend life and death, but he can only prolong his life in peace.
Although it is the same Dan, it is only a Dan with qi and blood, and it is not the size of Zhou Tian. ”
Shangguan Chuanyun realized that it was still a system, and the cultivation was different, but it did not have the immortal characteristics of immortals, one hundred and sixty years, when the life span arrived, the soul was decaying, and the Dansan people died, so he asked.
"What about the earth immortals and immortals, what kind of realm is the formation of the golden pill?"
Daoist Ren said.
"The earth immortals are half of the heavenly immortals, among the immortals. Xiaocheng among the immortals, the foundation of the immortals, can live forever until five hundred years later, the body decays, and he is reincarnated. That's why it's called a god. ”
When Shangguan Chuanyun heard this, he also used the body as the carrier, and he had no physical body, but he had already heard the Taoism, so he generally chose to reincarnate and recultivate, and then listened to the Taoist priest again.
"As for the immortals, the earth immortals should go further, obtain the method of Zhongcheng, extract lead and add mercury, gold refining top, jade liquid returning Dan, cultivating the Yuan Shen, reaching the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan, the three yang gathering top, self-birth and fetus, yin and yang purity, the manifestation of the Yuan Shen, and the transcendent sanctification. Leave the world and go to the blessed land of the cave, the three islands overseas, so it is called the gods. ”
"I see, the disciple has limited knowledge, and he is really ashamed. ”
Shangguan Chuanyun said.
When Daoist Ren heard this, he said.
"You don't have to be so arrogant, the way of life is not widely taught, even if you are poor, you only know a drop in the bucket. ”
"Then dare to ask the master, what is the realm of the immortals?"
Daoist Ren thought for a moment and said.
"I don't know much about what kind of realm the heavenly immortals are, and there are only a few words in the Taoist scriptures, and they are also half-understood. I only know that I have the Mahayana formula first, the inner and outer Dan is successful, there is merit on the road, and the merit in the world is complete, and there will be heavenly people who will grant golden books and jade books, and fly to the cave sky. ”
..................
After the bald soldiers found out that it was the lamp-lighting monk, they hurriedly sent the lamp-lighting monk to the temple.
In the temple, in the Cihang Treasure Hall, the Muno Buddha looked at the lighted monk lying on the stretcher. I am thinking about countermeasures.
There were several monks standing next to him, and at the front were three monks, the three disciples of the Muno Buddha.
A law name is broken, a law name is broken, and a law name is broken.
At this time, the monk of the broken country spoke.
"Buddha, can the injuries of the younger brother of the lamp be saved?"
Mu Nai Buddha also checked the injury of the lamp monk, to be honest, he can save it, but after saving it, he has to damage his cultivation, and he can't recover in a few days, this kind of injury, simple, just someone hit the acupoint, if that's the case, he pushed the palace through the acupoint for him, and it can be cured in half an hour.
But the key is that there is also a strange sword qi in it, and he can't figure out what it is at all, and it is so ever-changing that he can't even start.
Only by consuming cultivation by oneself and forcibly grinding off this sword qi, or the caster personally takes action, otherwise he can only take action by himself, and spend a few hours to remove these sword qi in one go, and there can be no pause in the middle, otherwise only the previous efforts will be wasted.
Although these sword qi are divided into several groups, they are connected by qi and machine, as long as they are removed, they cannot be stopped, they must be done in one go, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted and the efforts will be wasted.
What's more, hanging the lamp-lit monk on the city gate tower is probably a demonstration for himself, and as for the threat, it can't be talked about.
This society is not related by blood, and there are not no people who can stick a knife in the ribs for others, and there are relationships that are more than ten years or decades, and there are also inappropriate brains to care about the life and death of others.
Mu Nai Buddha felt that even if he became like this, there would not necessarily be someone to spend his energy to save himself, unless he could get huge benefits.
The lit monk can save himself, but obviously this person has a back move, and he has to maintain his mana to be safe.
But there will be no after-moves, and this lamp-lit monk can't provide much benefit to himself, and it is not cost-effective to spend mana on him, and it is estimated that he will not live long if he looks like this.
After thinking about it for a moment, he said.
"The lamp was seriously injured, and the Buddha did not have the art of resurrecting the dead, but the lamp was dedicated to the Buddha, the Bodhisattva's heart, burning the index finger, offering to the Buddha, and receiving the Bodhisattva vows. Even after death, he will be reborn in the Western Heaven Elysium. ”
"Now everyone recites the mantra of rebirth together, and sends the lamp to the western heavens, and in the Elysian World, the nine grades are connected to the platform, and the upper grades are born, and everyone needs to pray sincerely, and send him to the western heavens with my wishing power. ”
The monks folded their hands and pointed their fingers to the sky, and they read together.
"My Buddha is compassionate!"
Mu Nai Buddha said to the monk who broke the country, "Break the country, go and arrange for someone to carry the lamp Arhat to the square and prepare firewood." ”
The broken monk who stood in front of him stood up, folded his hands, pointed to the sky, and said.
"Respect the purpose of my Dharma. ”
Mu Nai Buddha said to the broken monk again, "Go and prepare fragrant flowers, seven treasures, bowls, pure water, and prepare the Dharma field." ”
The monk of the broken family stood up, also folded his hands, pointed his fingers to the sky, and said.
"Respect the purpose of my Dharma. ”
Mu Nai Buddha said to the broken monk again.
"The dusk drum and morning bell lion roar, the dusk drum rings nine times, and the top grade is born. ”
After that, the lamp-lit monk was carried to a square, a large pile of firewood was piled up, and then the lamp-lit monk was put on it.
The mandala is covered with four treasures, and the pagoda is nine layers, and pearls, agate, clams, coral, crystal, coral, musk, and seven treasures are hung on the tower. Bowls and bowls are filled with pure water, and fragrant flowers are spread all over the ground.
The monk of the broken family was notified and the dusk drum sounded. The monk's temple emphasizes the morning bell of the evening drum, and since it is already night, the dusk drum is sounded, and everyone is called in an open space.
When the people of the prefecture heard the sound of the dusk drum, they knew that something big had happened, and they immediately got up and ran to the square where they usually gathered.
"What's going on?"
"The dusk drum is ringing nine times, and someone is going to die in the Western Heaven Elysium. ”
"Really, that's really a positive result, I don't know if I can leave the relics this time. ”
"Go and see, maybe we can get some relics, let's also recite the mantra of rebirth and make some merit. ”
"Okay, let's go. ”
Along the way, many people were discussing the matter, and they all ran towards the vicinity of the square.
Mu Nai Buddha saw that the people were almost there, stepped on the high platform, held the ancient temple pagoda in his hand, wore a hundred treasure robes, glanced at the crowd, and said in a loud voice.
"I, the Buddha, have compassion, and I have gathered everyone here today to light the rebirth of the Arhats. Lighting the spirit of Arhat Buddhism, protecting the Dharma for my Buddha, but because of the evil spirits of the outer way, in order to predict that the time limit has come, I want to be reborn in the West Heaven Elysium, the nine grades of lotus, and the upper grade of life. ”
"I am a Buddha with compassion, and I am a lamp for Arhat compassion. And they put their hands together and pointed their fingers to the sky, and bowed.
Muno Buddha said. "Now everyone recites my Buddha's name together, and with this mental power, we will see off the Arhats who are lighting the lamps. ”
"Respect the purpose of my Dharma. ”
"Nan Wu Lamp Arhat!"
"The puja begins, the fire is lit. Muno Buddha said.
The monk of the broken country received the decree and threw the torch into the pyre, the fire slowly became bigger, accompanied by the sound of chanting Buddha slowly turned into a raging fire, and the crackling burning sound accompanied by the sound of chanting Buddha sounded throughout Nanguo County.
At this time, a strange aura was formed in the sky above Nanguo County, and countless mental power gathered into a three-zhang size of 10,000 characters, hovering in the sky above Nanguo County, releasing immeasurable Buddha light.
Shangguan Chuanyun was discussing the path of cultivation with Daoist Ren at this time.
Suddenly, I saw the two of them seeing the Buddha light shining in the sky above Nanguo County, and the three-zhang size of 10,000 characters stood in the air, and the murmuring sound of chanting Buddha could be heard from far away.
