Chapter 8: Obedience and Disobedience

"Compendium of Materia Medica" is certainly Li Shizhen's life's work, but it must also be limited to his own era. But Xu Xian is not like this, although in the actual practice of medicine, he is certainly not as good as professional doctors, but he is confident that he understands the structure of the human body and the mode of operation better than all doctors in this era. These things are enough to subvert the medicine of this era.

Bai Suzhen looked at the man in front of her, how could she still be half childish, but she had a pride to change the world. I even believed his big words: "If I write this book, I will never need another medical book!"

Suddenly asked, "Hanwen, you are also a cultivator!"

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment and said, "It should be counted!" Although his original intention of cultivating was to eat with a mouthful.

"Everyone's Tao has to be cultivated by themselves, if you want to ask me, you might as well ask yourself, is this your way?"

Xu Xian couldn't help but ask himself: What is the Dao? In fact, he is just an ordinary person who has learned some spells, although he has some strength, but he does not dare to have any self-pride and call himself a cultivator!

However, in fact, there are some! From the very beginning, from jumping into the icy lake without caring about his surname, and fighting with scoundrels without caring about his fame. No matter how ordinary a person Ping is, at least at that moment, he is extraordinary, is that also a kind of Tao?

So why are you hesitating now? Obviously you already have more power, and you no longer have to worry about life and future, but you don't have the same anger as you did at the beginning. Rich and comfortable life, but has that bit of scholarly righteousness been wiped out?

Although he is not a sage and sage who "worries about the world first", if he has the opportunity to save countless people, can he ignore it?

Even if you are ridiculed, what is the matter, and even if you are misunderstood, what are you afraid of? As long as your heart is still there, no matter what the result is, you can have no regrets! This is the meaning of the so-called cultivator!

If the "Tao" is simply taken literally, isn't it the road, and you can share the path to the goal and decide the path you want to take.

And the road is always built by people who come out and build it.

Who would have thought that they could really live forever, but it was only through the efforts of generations and thousands of years that there were these gods and Buddhas. In the face of a seemingly impossible thing, the predecessors were still able to put in such hard work and finally achieve something. I have so many advantages, but what fate is I running away from?

I am afraid that I will be tricked by fate according to the arrangement of fate, so I want to ask, what is the number of fate? What is the will of heaven? What is good and what is bad?

Some people say that those who obey are immortals, and only by obeying the way of heaven can they live forever.

Some people say that the rebel is an immortal, and it is to steal the aura of heaven and earth to resist the mandate of heaven.

But Xu Xian suddenly understood that the so-called immortals, the so-called Buddhas, and the so-called people have been doing just four words - going the other way.

Dayu should dredge the river and conform to the water surname, which is not smooth. If it didn't go well and forcibly blocked, he would have been killed like his father, and what else would be the king of Yudingding.

But Dayu's ultimate goal is to control floods and fight against natural disasters, which is not a reverse. If it is not rebellious, what is the meaning of Shun?

The same is true of cultivation, only by absorbing essence and qi according to the nature can we resist the erosion of life by time, and only then can we live forever, become immortals, and go against the sky. "Shun" is to be reversed, and if you want to be "reverse", you can't go unsatisfied.

If you can only rebel, you will only say nonsense about "heaven and earth are unkind", and scold endlessly all day long "thief God, thief God", as if that can show that you are different, but in the end it is just a self-righteous madman, an inexplicable joke.

If you can only go along with it, you are just an ordinary man who goes with the flow, every time he talks about fate and luck, he will only hang the word "heaven" in his mouth, carefully afraid of making a mistake, and when he is defeated, he will sigh "God will kill me!" Then I ask, where is your dignity as a human being.

The Buddha realized the Dharma under the Bodhi tree, stepped on the red lotus in seven steps, and said, "Heaven and earth, I am the only one!"

But I don't know if that "I" really refers to himself? You know, he was not a Buddha or even a monk at that time, but just an ordinary practitioner, just a person!

That "I" refers to human beings, to all beings on heaven and earth, and to every living being born in this world.

Think about this vast world, the sea is deep, the earth is wide, but between the sea and the mulberry field, it is just an impotent dead thing, unable to change anything for its existence and disappearance.

And only humble and insignificant beings, between this short period of life and death, to work hard and struggle for their own lives.

If they are not "self-respecting", then what is "self-respecting", and if they do not have the ambition and courage to be alone, how can they fight for a freedom for themselves in this dead and silent universe, under this dazed heavenly way, and in this short life. If not, what difference is it from a rock by the river!

I am reincarnated in this world, not for the sake of obedience or adversity, but only for the sake of my own way, to strive and to work hard. Don't lose your heart, don't forget your surname, otherwise it is the difference between success and failure.

"It's not a pity to be stained, but the wish is not violated. "Even if the countryside is barren and you can't eat, as long as you don't violate your original beliefs, you have no regrets in your heart.

As long as you are worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth and act according to your own wishes, you will not be afraid of people's words or fate. Where the Tao exists, although thousands of people go to it!

Even if one day, if you really go to the nest of fate, you can only fight for it with all your might. If you are afraid from the beginning, you run away. How can it be called a herringbone!

Heaven and earth, I am the only one. The avenue is vast, and the question is idealistic!

Bai Suzhen watched from the side, and saw that Xu Xian frowned at first, as if she was full of doubts. Later, it was excited, as if man and god were at war. Then his face was full of anger, like a warrior who was about to go to the battlefield. In the end, I didn't know what I remembered, and suddenly put my hands together, like an old monk in a steady place, and the corners of my mouth gradually flashed a clear smile.

Bai Suzhen looked at Xu Xian's state, and couldn't help but have the word "enlightenment" in her mind, but she didn't know how much her words just now touched Xu Xian.

The choice Xu Xian had to make was not just to compile a book, but to make a choice, to choose whether to embark on the original path of destiny. And he once calculated that if he wanted to compile this book seriously, it would take at least more than a year, and how many years of his life could be wasted.

And at this moment, there are also drastic changes taking place in Xu Xian's soul, the light of the main star of the sun is no longer radial, but strangely converged, not the radiation of light, but also the burning of fire, but like water circulating on Xu Xian's body, forming a layer of water film to trap him.

It reminded Bai Suzhen of when she was a snake, but it was completely different, that layer of water film was by no means like an impurity to be eliminated and removed, but like a purification extracted from Xu Xian's body, contained in it. If you have to say something, it is like the gold paint on the body of the Buddha statue in the temple, and it is constantly thickening, and the color is constantly increasing. As if to form a golden Xu Xian.

Xu Xian still clasped his hands together, his eyes were closed, and his face was peaceful. The golden Xu Xian's face was full of expressions, suddenly angry, suddenly happy, suddenly peaceful, and suddenly hideous. It's just floating on the real Xu Xian's face, as if expressing some kind of intention.

The golden virtual image danced with both hands, but Xu Xian just put his hands together, and the dancing golden arms seemed to be limited by Xu Xian's real arms, and he couldn't make too out-of-the-ordinary movements, and finally just moved his fingers and formed a magic seal: the seal of the king of the Ming Dynasty.

At the moment when the seal was formed, the golden virtual image suddenly opened its eyes, and the golden light in its eyes was revealed, like two suns, making it impossible for people to look directly. , but Xu Xian in the water film still closed his eyes.

At the same time, the golden virtual image suddenly opened his mouth and drank "Lin", this drink, if it seemed to mortals, it was just Xu Xian suddenly opened his mouth, but he did not make any sound, but to Bai Suzhen's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, and the sound shook the house. And in the golden film of water, the real Xu Xian pursed his lips, and at some point, that smile had disappeared and became solemn.

It's a long story, but in fact, it's just an instant, Xu Xian used the golden virtual image to cast it again, and he has cast the immovable Ming King Seal and the nine-character mantra countless times.

At that moment, from Xu Xian's golden eyes as the source, a layer of golden waves stirred up on the virtual image, and the strange thing was that where the waves rolled over, the virtual image had undergone earth-shaking changes, if it was originally like a layer of liquid that was barely condensed, then now it was like a solidified solid, although it was still translucent. The expression of the virtual image is also assimilated with Xu Xian's expression, the same solemnity. Only his eyes are still closed.

Bai Suzhen originally thought that the layer of virtual energy was out of the body, and she was worried, but at this moment, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "The golden body is molded!"

The core pursuit of Buddhism is to condense relics and shape the golden body. This is like the Taoist Jin Dan and Yang God, the Inner Dan of the goblin. It can be regarded as the fundamental thing of a practitioner. Without these things, it would be a waste to repair and repair.

If it is said that the fruit position of a Buddhist disciple can be seen through the titles of Arhat and Bodhisattva, the size of the golden body can often show the mana of a Buddhist disciple.

The fruit position is essentially just a title, and even a position in the Buddha's door. I don't know how many people in the West call it "Buddha", but many of them are just people who have made great contributions to compiling Buddhist scriptures and managing the affairs of Buddhism. Of course, they played a great role in the spread of the Dharma. But not everyone is suitable for cultivation.

The world-famous King of Jizo and Guanyin are both Bodhisattvas, although they are not the highest, but they are both first-class figures in Buddhism.

And Fahai is not even an arhat, but he can get a golden bowl from Rulai himself, but he can think of how mana is. If the golden body is revealed, I am afraid that it is not something that ordinary arhats can reach.
