Chapter 191: The Origin of the Heavenly Tribulation

Although Dong Tao and Chen Ye didn't know why the merit golden light only looked for them and not for comfort, after seeing the power of blood and bones, they also knew that if they didn't have comfort, the two of them would not be able to kill the blood shadow no matter what. And An Yi contributed the most, but in the end, in addition to spending a body of mana, they didn't get any benefits, but they didn't contribute much, but they got so much merit, and they felt that they took advantage of themselves, so they were very embarrassed, and they felt extremely guilty about An Yi. Therefore, no matter what, we should try our best to invite comfort to go to their cultivation place and recuperate their bodies.

An Yi heard that the place where the two of them lived was not far from here, and that he really needed a quiet place to recover his lost mana, so he nodded and agreed. In fact, the most important thing in this is that he was attracted by the catastrophe that Dong Tao and the two said.

Crossing the tribulation is the most crucial step for a practitioner to enter the immortal from the mortal, and if he can survive it, he will live forever and coexist with heaven and earth; if he can't cross it, his cultivation will be scattered, and he will re-enter the reincarnation. However, the number of tribulations that cultivators in each world need to cross is different, for example, the middle heavenly tribulation, also known as the thunder tribulation, the person who crosses is nothing more than to withstand the thunder strike from the sky, and it will be achieved in the end.

The catastrophe of the immortal path is different, or the thinking of the ancients is different from that of modern people, it is not so simple and rude, but the way of crossing the catastrophe in each novel is also different.

Some novels don't need to cross the catastrophe at all, take "The Legend of the Eight Immortals" as an example, as long as you have the merit of cultivation, then you can directly become an immortal. In "Journey to the West", you need to go through three disasters and nine tribulations.

The nine difficulties generally refer to the difficulties encountered during the course of cultivation, which will not be mentioned here. Let's talk about three disasters alone. It is divided into three types: thunderstorm, wind disaster, and fire. The second chapter of his Journey to the West is recorded in the original text. Sun Wukong learned the art of longevity from the patriarch of Su Bodhi, and the patriarch said that the "three calamities are good and harmful":

"This is the extraordinary way, the creation of heaven and earth, and the mystery of invading the sun and the moon. After Dancheng, the ghosts and gods are intolerable. Although you live in Yan Yishou, but five hundred years later, a thunderstorm will hit you, and you need to see your sex and clear heart. Dodge in advance. can hide from longevity and Tianqi, but can't escape from death. Five hundred years later, a fire will burn you. This fire is not a heavenly fire, nor is it a mortal fire, but it is called a yin fire. Burning from under its own springs, it penetrates the mud wall, the five organs turn into ashes, and the limbs are decayed, and the thousands of years of asceticism are illusory. Another five hundred years. and the storm blows upon you. This wind is not a southeast and northwest wind, nor is it a smoke and a golden wind. It's not the wind of flowers, willows, pines and bamboos, but the wind of birds. Blowing into the six intestines from the fontanelle, passing through the dantian, wearing the nine orifices, the flesh and bones are thinned, and the body knows its own understanding. So you have to dodge. ”

Let's not say whether there is any reason in this, but just by the sentence "After Dancheng, ghosts and gods are intolerable", it is enough to make people see that Sun Wukong is practicing orthodox Taoist exercises, and some people in later generations are far-fetched, saying that Bodhi is the Western quasi-Ti, and the seventy-two changes are Buddhist methods, which can be described as self-defeating.

An Yi shook his head violently when he thought of this, secretly wondering why he was off topic again.

Now in the world of "The Legend of Jigong", what is said here is all "Buddha things", for those who cultivate immortals, what calamities should be overcome in order to achieve immortal bodies, but he has not mentioned it from beginning to end, so he is still very curious.

Since he cultivated the Tao, he has never seen others cross the catastrophe, and he doesn't know if he will have any calamities in the future, so he readily agreed, and wanted to ask for advice by the way.

As for the "Journey to the West" that I just thought of...... There will always be a chance to go in and have a look at it in the future!

An Yi smiled indifferently, and immediately hugged his fists at Dong Tao and the others, and said: "I don't dare to ask for ears!" Zhao Bin had already stood aside, and was about to return when he heard the words and supported An Yi, but was stopped by An Yi waving his hand.

Zhao Bin was puzzled, and so were Dong Tao and Chen Ye.

They didn't know that the door could only enter and exit, so they all stopped and looked at Anyi, thinking that he had something else going on here. It wasn't until after An Yi's explanation that they realized the severity of the matter.

"If you really can't go back, Chen Ye and I will just return it, and in two months, we will be able to cross the tribulation and ascend, and then the heavenly tribulation will be pulled, and it will come no matter what." Although Daoyou has temporarily lost his mana, he has the skills to Bigu after all, so he doesn't need to worry about anything. I'm afraid of Zhao Bin, but it's hard for him to hold on......," Dong Tao frowned and said worriedly.

An Yi interrupted with a smile: "Daoist friends don't need to worry too much, since the blood shadow can control zombies in and out for many years, there is naturally another way to enter and exit......"

"But it's Dong someone who didn't think it through!" Dong Tao suddenly realized: "Do you know where the other way out is?"

"Naturally, I know, two Taoist friends come with me!" An Yi nodded, supported by Zhao Bin, and led Dong Tao and the others to the back of the hall.

This method of entering and exiting is recorded on the jade slip, called "The Great Array of Reversal and Movement of the Universe", and the outer tomb is within the scope of this large array.

However, what An Yi was wondering at this time was that this underground space was obviously old, how could it be the same as a tomb outside. But now is not the time to think about this, and there is more than this doubt on the way, and he can't think clearly for a while, so he has to hold it down for the time being and wait until later to explore.

At that moment, An Yi took Dong Tao and the three of them to the top of the high platform, but because the steps were too high, they had to let Dong Tao fly up. When I got to the top, I was comfortably guided and flew until I reached a horn on the far right before slowly falling.

The two walls on the left and right sides of this horn are extremely smooth, but on the ground between the walls, there is a strange beast with a tiger head and a dragon's whiskers, which is majestic and vigorous. In particular, I don't know what kind of technique it carved, this statue is like a three-dimensional one, standing in front of it and looking at it, it has the illusion of choosing people and devouring them. made several people, including An Yi, feel a pang in their hearts.

This statue is easy to recognize, it is one of the nine sons of the dragon, and its name is called the fierce man, like a tiger who is good at lawsuits, and is in charge of the prison. Legend has it that he hated sin the most, so he often adorned the door of the prison. But this thing is carved here, it's a bit out of place, right?

An Yi glanced at the blood-colored bones scattered in the distance, and doubts rose again in his heart. First, there is the question of the origin of the blood and bones, then the question of the relationship between the underworld and the burial chamber above, and then the question of ......

"Forget it, let's go out and talk about it. An Yi glanced at Dong Tao and the others. I thought so in my heart.

At that moment, An Yi guided Zhao Bin to stand on the body of the fox. After that, let Zhao Bin send mana into the mouth of the fox. As a flash of light flashed, the fierce open mouth turned into a black hole, Zhao Bin was so frightened that he jumped to the side, and complained with palpitations: "Master, why didn't you sue me earlier, so that I could be prepared." All of a sudden, the beast was deformed, and I thought it was going to stand up and bite me!"

An Yi smiled: "You deserve it, who made you cowardly." And I don't ask for it myself. Okay, don't be verbose, hurry up and go out with the teacher. After speaking, he greeted Dong Tao and his wife, and the three of them jumped down in 6 times.

After a familiar period of vertigo, several people appeared in the first tomb one after another, and Dong Tao was once again classified as a sealed tomb, a little surprised.

"What's going on? Why did we just go back here, and when did the south door close?" Dong Tao pointed to the south wall. suddenly thought that Zhao Bin had come back before, and couldn't help but look at him suspiciously. I wonder if Zhao Bin closed it. But Zhao Bin had doubts in his heart that he didn't have to be small, so he had to helplessly spread his hands, saying that he didn't know anything.

This time, several people looked at comfort again, just because he sued him for this passage back, so they expected him to know something. But how could An Yi know, and even if he knew, he didn't bother to explain, so he simply learned from Zhao Bin and spread his hands and put on an ignorant posture.

Chen Ye saw his expression on the side, and sighed: "That's it, that's it, how can we know everything about this world." Let's just say that this formation here, we haven't even heard of it before, and now it's a blessing to encounter it once, so why hope to covet too much. It's a pity that my husband and wife will soon go through a catastrophe, and they can't be more nostalgic here, and they can't carefully study the mysteries of this formation, which is really a pity!" he said, sighing again.

An Yi heard the words and persuaded: "Chen Daoyou, why should you feel nostalgic, the two of you are about to attain the immortal Dao, and when you reach the upper realm, what immortal formation can not be taught, and why do you need to worry about a formation in this world." ”

"Daoist friend is wrong!" Dong Tao smiled bitterly: "Although Chen Ye and I have made more merits over the years, we have also been stained with a lot of cause and effect, and if you want to become an immortal, the most important thing is to eliminate your own cause and effect, so you need to have a heavenly calamity to add ......."

While they were talking, they had already left the tomb and came to the locust forest outside. With Dong Tao's half-complaining and half-complaining, An Yi also had a general understanding of the catastrophe of this world.

To put it simply, the Heavenly Tribulation is a form in which the Heavenly Court helps cultivators to reincarnate in mortal bodies.

As long as this person lives in the world, no matter what you do, whether you are good or evil, there will always be cause and effect. Even if you dress and eat, you may have a cause and effect with everything. If there is cause and effect, there will be karma, and whether it is good karma or bad karma, it is a force that hinders people's liberation.

But all those who cultivate immortals, all those who seek are free from the world and live forever. Therefore, if a person wants to become an immortal, he must first wipe out the karma of this body.

But how difficult it is to consume karma, many cultivators have the heart but are powerless, and have the desire but cannot, so as the Lord of the Three Realms, the Heavenly Court opened the door of convenience and came up with a model of "Heavenly Tribulation", sending the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder God Puhua Tianzun, with the secret treasure of the heavens, to attract the Nine Heavens God Thunder, to provide a kind of "convenience" for the majority of cultivators.

However, this kind of "convenience" is not something that everyone can bear, first of all, the person must have enough merit to offset the additional damage caused by the divine thunder when it consumes karma. If a person does not have enough merit, does something that hurts nature, or has too much karma, he may not be able to hold on to the moment when his karma is completely consumed, and he will turn to ashes.

Moreover, even if you survive, then this can be regarded as a cause and effect with the Heavenly Court, and it is a great cause and effect, which is very difficult to repay. Therefore, the real Taoist masters, such as the disciples under the seat of "Lao Tzu", mostly do not take it.

It's just because people have a good teacher and have a good inheritance of karma, so they don't need to owe heaven karma to cause and effect, and they can be at ease. And Dong Tao and Chen Ye are different, the exercises are obtained by accident, and it is not easy to cultivate to such a point, so they can only pray to the upper realm and lead the heavenly thunder to refine the body, in order to get rid of the mortal fetus, kill the karmic fire, and cast the immortal body.

These "knowledge" are ordinary in this world, they have been passed down in ancient times, and even ordinary trails know the method, so An Yi had to put on a look of "I also know very well", so as not to be suspicious of Dong Tao and the others......

However, do Dong Tao and the others suspect less?
