Chapter 128: Crossing the Forty-Nine Tribulations
For six consecutive days, as Yu Roe said, Lu Jixian did not tell a word about the mantra and experience of cultivation, let alone mention the name and use of any spell. What he explains every day is www.biquge.info cause and effect of the coming and going of heaven, earth and the universe, all of which are the mysteries of the state of mind and the progression of the mind, as well as the mystical and mysterious Dao Tianshu.
Gao Ge listened interestingly, but he hoped that Lu Jixian would give practical guidance on his practice.
In the past few days, Gao Ge has been working hard in his room. That night, Lu Jixian suddenly appeared in front of Gao Ge. "Sure enough, he is a little Taoist priest who has practiced diligently. ”
Gao Ge was washing away the true yuan in his body, and when he heard this, he had to quickly collect his strength, and then open his eyes. "Senior ......"
"Yes. Lu Jixian waved his hand and motioned to Gao Ge not to get up. "What do you think you have learned from listening to me for six days?"
Gao Ge pondered for a while, and said uncertainly: "In the past few days, my predecessors have talked about astronomy and geography, from the universe to floods, from chaos to creation...... When the disciple heard it, he felt as if his predecessor was telling the disciple that in the end of his cultivation, he was just constantly overthrowing his past self......"
"Cultivation is the cultivation of truth, abandoning the false past, letting go of the false self, and then embracing the true future and shaping the true self, which is the cultivation of the truth. You've got a good idea. Other than that, do you still have doubts?"
"I do have some doubts. Gao Ge was honest and answered bluntly. "Although I have listened to my predecessors talk about the true meaning of the mysterious and mysterious avenue for a few days, but after thinking about it carefully, everything is still unknown. With all due respect, not only the disciples, but also the seniors seemed to have doubts about the Great Dao. ”
Lu Jixian couldn't help laughing. "You have a good understanding, and you are right. Then do you know why the Poor Dao has never told you any methods for refining the true essence and how to use spells in the past few days?"
Gao Ge shook his head and nodded again. "Do you think I should slow down my cultivation?"
"Yes and no. Lu Jixian turned to look out of the sky, a pair of divine eyes shot through the roof of the wooden house, and his eyes had already reached the galaxy nine days away.
"The poor path actually hopes that your progress in cultivation can be faster, but the faster part is the 'Dao' and 'Commentary', and at the same time, you also need to slow down a part, and this slow part is the 'Fa' and 'Shu'. ”
"Taoist monks practice with five courses: Taoism, Theory, Law, Form, and Technique. Poor Dao has been preaching to you the 'Tao' these days, not because Poor Dao has clearly realized the Dao, but because Poor Dao is also not very familiar with the Dao, so I hope you will realize the Tao with Poor Dao. The poor Tao preaches for you, and it also preaches for the poor Tao himself, and the process of preaching is also the process of enlightenment, and what is preached today must be different from what is preached tomorrow. ”
Gao Ge nodded, he somewhat understood what Lu Jixian meant. Lu Jixian said at the beginning that the key to the success or failure of a spell lies in the details, but the key to comprehending the avenue is to forget the details. While Lu Jixian told Gao Ge about the avenue, he was also self-reflecting, allowing himself to pass on the details of the avenue, and at the same time helping himself to forget these details.
"The Great Dao can be taught, but it can't be taught, you can only rely on yourself to comprehend. And enlightenment is not a utopian dream, so it is necessary to 'prove the Tao with the Fa', and the poor Dao allows you to temporarily slow down the cultivation of the 'Fa' in order to make the cultivation of the 'Dao' go up quickly. ”
"The disciple understands. ”
Lu Jixian originally thought that Gao Ge would be puzzled and then angry, but Gao Ge listened attentively for six days in a row, without the slightest anxiety or the slightest abnormality.
Lu Jixian guessed that Gao Ge might actually have doubts, but he could endure his temperament, and only waited until the evening and returned to the house to continue refining the true yuan by himself, which was enough to show that Gao Ge had a good temperament.
Gao Ge's bones are strange and talented, Lu Jixian thought that there was no need for him to continue to play dumb riddles, so he came to solve his doubts.
"The three steps of building a foundation, quenching the five temples, and enlightening the spiritual platform are the beginning of cultivation, and they are very important, but they are not the key. After your realm is improved, you can actually go back and make up for the shortcomings. For example, there is still a chance for your sea of consciousness to continue to expand, and the poor path hopes that you will calm down and refine these threefold realms again. ”
"As a Taoist, the knowledge you need to learn is as vast as the sea, and your future achievements will largely depend on the vastness of the sea of knowledge. Although your knowledge of the sea is already outstanding compared to ordinary young Taoists, poor Daoist thinks that it should not be enough. There are so many realms and infinite worlds that you need to remember, don't be limited by the world in front of you. ”
Gao Ge heard the words and gladly accepted them. Because his sea of knowledge was opened for him by Bai Jinrui and Song Lanju, he himself felt that there was still room to continue to develop.
Lu Jixian's face was expressionless and he continued to speak. "Your current sea of knowledge is still just a sea of memory, although it can remember all the details for you, help you comprehend the difficult Taoism, and help you learn complex spells, but your intelligence has not made a real qualitative leap because of the opening of the sea of knowledge. For you, this sea of knowledge is more like an external library, and only after you have passed the catastrophe and become one with the original god, you will know the importance of knowing the sea. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Jixian suddenly showed a fascination expression. "At that time, you will find that thousands of realms are in your mind, countless changes are in your thoughts, the past, the future cause and effect, all in the calculation. ”
Gao Ge felt a pang in his heart: "The senior Taoist priests who have attained the Heavenly Immortal and Earth Immortal Rank are like this?
"Good question!" Lu Jixian paused for a moment. "We mortal Taoists should not have guessed the thoughts of our predecessors who have attained the position, but since you have said this, the poor Dao will not hide it from you. As far as the poor Dao knows, once the earth immortal karma and the heavenly immortal karma are obtained, the Taoist priest's mood, thoughts, mana and lifespan will be earth-shaking changes, and at that time, the Taoist priest and the heaven and earth will be fused, and there will be no more people's minds. ”
"There has been a saying in the Dao system since ancient times that once they cross the Four or Nine Tribulations, then the Dao Priests will become [non-human], and their eyes can only see the heavens, earth, stars, and the universe. These Dao priests who have reached the top either raise the heavens of the Dao system or step on the land of the Dao system, while we, the Taoist priests who stay in the world, continue to take care of the roots of the Dao system. Therefore, the scattered immortals and Jindan Dao scholars sometimes look at the sky and the earth, and sometimes they have to pay attention to the world, because they are a group of people who are not up or down in the Taoist system. And the Taoist priests below Jindan are still in the dirt and have not yet been able to get the entry mile. ”
Lu Jixian chuckled rarely: "Remember, except for the Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal Karma, all the other Rank Karma cannot be regarded as having crossed the Four or Nine Tribulations. From this point alone, it is enough to see how arrogant our Dao system is. ”
Gao Ge couldn't help but repeat Lu Jixian's words. "Only those who are above the rank of the earth immortal can be regarded as having crossed the four or nine tribulations, and can be regarded as barely reaching the top. And the scattered immortals and the gods are all failures of the Dao system. ”
Lu Jixian glanced at Gao Ge and said earnestly: "Lu Po has been immersed in the Jindan Nine Heavens for hundreds of years, but he has not taken the step of crossing the tribulation, because he wants to attain the Heavenly Immortal Rank. Poor Dao has also been impregnated in the realm of Jindan Nine Layers for hundreds of years, and he has not taken that step, because Poor Dao also wants to reach the top. ”
Lu Jixian said three 'same' in one breath, which is enough to explain his mood.
"Gao Ge, if you want to climb to the pinnacle of the Dao system and survive the four or nine tribulations, you must not be in a hurry. Every step of cultivation involves luck and cause and effect, and sometimes going fast is actually slow. Do you understand?"
Gao Ge nodded solemnly: "Disciple understands." Sometimes it's not really slow, it's because you need to wait, wait for the moment. Only by making the most suitable choice at the most appropriate time can we be in harmony with the heavens and connect with each other inside and outside. Cultivation is like mountaineering, and it is meaningless to run fast or far on flat ground, because only when the path to climb the mountain appears, can you reach the top of the mountain with all your might. And that road is not always in sight. ”
Lu Jixian was overjoyed when he heard this, and said secretly: "The future of this son is limitless, and surpassing Lu Po is just around the corner." ”
