Chapter Seventy-One: Back to Heaven and Earth
The mind in front of us is not illusory, it is tangible and divine, and the body and mind also exist, and it is real in this side of the world. As long as Lu Zhengzhi stays in this world, then he can be with Xin'er forever. Not only that, as Xin'er said, in this piece of heaven and earth, one qiē will only obey the change of Lu Zheng's will. Lu Zheng is known as the Lord of Heaven and Earth, if you follow the imagination of ordinary cultivators or mortals for the four words of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, I am afraid that it will be closer to such a piece of heaven and earth, because Lu Zheng can do whatever he wants in it and turn it into reality. In fact, this is the self-contained heaven and earth unfolding outside the heaven and earth, that is, the things that a practitioner can reach when he enters the realm of detachment from heaven are beyond the reach.
The so-called incomparability of all things means that the practitioner is completely able to exist independently of all things between heaven and earth. Whether it is a mortal in the human world or a cultivator, as long as they survive between heaven and earth, they must be nourished by all things and survive. Needless to say, mortal food and drink, although a cultivator can go without food when he reaches a certain realm, he also needs to refine the aura between heaven and earth for his own use. Even if the cultivation progresses again and no longer relies on the aura of heaven and earth, its physical body is still one of all things, and it is not so simple to completely detach itself from all things. This is not self-sufficiency, but the bond between the flesh itself and all things.
Only when one reaches a realm beyond the reach of all things means that the practitioner can truly leave, go beyond heaven and earth, and give himself a form of god with the power of creation. However, the physical body that is generated between heaven and earth still needs to remain between heaven and earth, and it is impossible to take it out of heaven and earth. If a practitioner wants to leave heaven and earth, he must be able to completely refine his physical body and attain the ultimate in the harmony of form and god, that is, the realm where form is deification and deification is form. Only in this way can we go out of heaven and earth without losing our own form and god.
However, in the cultivation world, there are all kinds of abnormal methods that allow practitioners to reach the realm of heaven and earth. For example, there are some cultivators who do not have the ultimate realm of the subtlety of the form and spirit. It is difficult to completely refine the physical body, so he simply uses magic to directly burn the physical body, specializing in cultivating his gods, and then cultivating the magic of the gods in turn. In this way, it is natural to reach the same realm, but the danger and change numbers are much greater.
Anyway. This kind of self-contained heaven and earth is the further achievement of the practitioner from the realm of knowing the cave heaven, which begins with the void and ends with reality, and after leaving the heaven, it can be expanded outside the heaven and earth, and becomes the world where the practitioner can enjoy himself as he wishes. Over the course of a long period of time, I don't know how many practitioners have sought to achieve such a realm, entered into a self-contained heaven and earth that unfolded outside the heaven and earth, and spent a long life. In the eyes of ordinary people, it can be said that this is already the ultimate in cultivation.
But is this kind of heaven and earth real? It cannot be said in terms of reality, because for practitioners who unfold such self-contained heaven and earth outside of heaven and earth, this is what is true. But for other practitioners, there is no zài at all. Because other practitioners are not allowed to enter at all.
To use an inappropriate analogy, the self-contained world that unfolds in this way is like a dream of a mortal, a dream in which he can make his own decisions at will, and in which he can call for wind and rain. He does everything, but he can never let others enter his dreams. Share this dream. The only way for other people to appear in this dream is for the dreamer to enter with his mind. It's just that in this way, of course, it doesn't really enter, but it's just the manifestation of the dreamer's mind.
The self-contained world in front of you is not as empty as a dream, and when you wake up, it is empty. This qiē is all real, as long as Lu Zheng continues to unfold this world. That qiē will not disappear, it is no different from being between heaven and earth. But this kind of realm, after all, is only beyond the reach of all things, and has not yet reached the reach of all laws.
What does that mean? In other words, there is no way of heaven and earth that belongs to Lu Zheng's own creation in this unfolding self-contained heaven and earth. Every qiē in this piece of heaven and earth comes from Lu Zheng's own insight and changes from the original heaven and earth. Other words. The changes and operations of all things in this piece of heaven and earth are the way of the original heaven and earth, and there is no other difference. What's more, all things that can be generated by this piece of heaven and earth cannot go beyond the changes of all things in the original heaven and earth.
In a sense, such a self-contained world is just a reflection of the original heaven and earth.
Everything changes like this, and so do the people who are in it. Take the heart in front of her as an example, she is not Xin'er, but she can't be said to be not Xin'er, she is the shadow of Xin'er left in Lu Zheng's body and mind. In fact, with the agreement between Lu Zheng and Xin'er, and added to Lei Ze, the two of them refined the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder together, and then refined the Heavenly Destiny Flower together in the Leader Mountain. There is not much difference between this heart and the original heart between heaven and earth, and the minds of the two are too similar.
This is the state where all things have not been reached, but they cannot reach the realm of the Dharma, so the source of the self-contained heaven and earth that unfolds in this way is still in the original heaven and earth. If it is really possible to reach the realm beyond the laws, then this piece of heaven and earth can have its own way of operation, and only then will all things that are different from the original heaven and earth be born.
But this is almost impossible? Because there is a contradiction in this, that is, since Lu Zheng himself came from heaven and earth, and he has achieved it because of the way of heaven and earth, how can he abandon the way of heaven and earth and achieve it? This is equivalent to taking me as not self, so after reaching the non-self, who is the one who has attained it? On the other hand, many practitioners do not continue to let the unfolded self-contained heaven and earth go further when they reach this step, why?
The reason is simple, because it doesn't make sense. The development of cultivation is a kind of realm verification, not the real purpose of cultivation. Continuing to cultivate this self-contained heaven and earth and get close to the original heaven and earth is not a way to verify that the Dharma is beyond reach. Because if you want to obtain such a heaven and earth, then it is better to stay in the original heaven and earth, why do you need to refine and become your own heaven and earth?
Moreover, even if there is a way of self-creation and a different change in the original heaven and earth, in such a self-contained world, the body and mind will gain great liberation and freedom, but it is not the real realm of great freedom. As long as there are causes and conditions involved, at a certain time, the practitioner will still be involved in the causes and conditions, and there will be the worry of the collapse of the heaven and earth.
In the realm of cultivation, the only thing that can truly reach the realm of Bliss established by the Buddha and the immortal realm that the Taoist Ancestor has attained is the realm of bliss that can be achieved outside of heaven and earth, and that can be entered by other practitioners. This is the great work of creation that can only be achieved by reaching the realm of all fate. As for the specific situation, and what kind of existence of heaven and earth the Buddha Kingdom of Bliss and the Immortal Immortal Realm is, no one can say. Even if you are a Buddhist disciple or a Taoist disciple, you don't know. Although they don't know, they have the path of cultivation passed down by the Buddha and the Taoist ancestors, and if they practice according to the law, they can reach the realm of the Buddha of Bliss and the realm of immortal immortals, and achieve the realm of true eternal life and immortal liberation.
What is the merit of the Buddha and the Dao Ancestors? Why did they open up the realm of blissful Buddhas and immortal immortals outside of heaven and earth? The significance of this is precisely for those cultivators who are unable to attain the Dharma or even the fate. From ancient times to the present, it is said that only the Taoist Ancestors and Buddhas have truly achieved the realm of all fate, and no one has ever achieved such a mysterious realm since then. It is said that in order to achieve such a state, it is necessary not only the efforts of the practitioner himself, but also the fate that comes into being in the mysteries of heaven and earth. It is a little unreasonable to achieve all fate, but also need fate, but the fact is in front of us, except for the Buddha and the Taoist ancestor, there is really no one who has achieved the realm of fate.
In addition to the two ancestors, it is recognized that the highest level of cultivation is the Holy Sect, and everyone says that he has a realm that is beyond the reach of the Dharma, but what is the situation in this case, whether the Holy Sect really has such a realm, I am afraid that no one can say clearly. Because since only the Holy Sect has reached the realm beyond the reach of the Dharma, then who can judge and say that the Holy Sect has reached this realm, isn't it only the Buddha and the Dao Ancestor?
Lu Zheng also knew that he did not rely on his own strength to enter the heavens, and when he came to this heaven and earth, every qiē was the skill of the sword of the Emperor Xiang. It was the traction of his sword that allowed him to enter such a realm. He knew very well the choice in front of him, either he could continue to stay outside this heaven and earth, continue to practice, anyway, with the help of the Elephant Emperor Xian, the self-formed heaven and earth had already unfolded, and in this qiē freewheeling world, he could have very unimaginable happiness.
Of course, if this is the case, it means that he can't return to heaven and earth, and he has to leave behind the qiē that is happening between heaven and earth, whether it is the running in Foshan, or the battle between the demons, or even the life and death of Xin'er, he must let go and ignore it anymore, and from now on there will be no one qiē between heaven and earth, and practice well in order to hope to break through to a higher realm.
What is the purpose of the appearance of man between heaven and earth? It can be said that the appearance of all human beings is only accidental, and therefore does not carry any power of will, so there is no desire at the beginning. It is only when man grows up, shines with his intellect, senses all things and separates them, that he will give birth to all kinds of pursuits, which can be said to be nothing more than self-sufficiency of body and mind, except for only one pursuit, and that is the desire for immortality. Immortality is not a desire of the body or a desire of the mind, but a self-generated desire that arises from the union of body and mind.
Only the self can pursue immortality! However, the self is not true and unreal, and often even the self does not know what the self is, let alone what the self wants for immortality, why the self wants immortality, and why the self asks for immortality! Therefore, they do not know how to live forever! In this way, most people are consumed in the desire for self-sufficiency in the body and mind, and they do not know how to examine themselves outside of the body and mind, so they do not know what they have obtained outside of the body and mind!
Once the body and mind are self-sufficient, it is impossible for a practitioner to get out of such a self-contained self-contained unfold outside the heaven and earth. Because they can only stop there, and when all they seek is enough, it is the beginning of stopping and depending. Lu Zheng is the same, if what he wants is only here, then he will naturally choose to stay in this world, so naturally I am afraid that he will not even notice that he stays, and he will not care what kind of heart is in front of him......
But Lu Zheng is not such a person, so when he realized this, a strong thought suddenly arose in his mind: "I want to go back to heaven and earth again, to find my heart!" (to be continued......)
