Chapter 198: Dive to the Other Shore, Realize the Secret of Longevity (Part 1)
Chapter 198: Sending the raft to the other side, and realizing the secret of immortality (Part 1)
After retreat, I realized the danger. All the peaceful and pure states of meditation in the past cannot be obtained again. No matter how I restrain my mind, the result is the same. As soon as I sit, scenes will flash in the state of concentration, leaving no trace but are extremely clear, as if all the experiences of countless lifetimes and disasters since the beginning of the world began. I cannot see it. As long as I indulge in the mind, the mind will be swept away and annihilated; I cannot avoid it, just like a person who passes through the waves must be accompanied by the torrent.
What I see in front of me is not light and shadow, but directly transforming my soul into it. It has sound, color, feelings, desires, love and hate. All kinds of connections in the world come one after another. A little spiritual platform is not ignorant, and the mind is still not lost. I am like a light boat in the ocean drifting with the flow, and I don’t know where to be rolled to. How can I reach the other shore like this?
This is close to the highest level of alchemy practice, and it is a test that I must go through. The heavenly tribulation of the sea of suffering is different from the distracting thoughts of entering tranquility when I first entered the practice, and it is also different from the demonic state that I encountered during the middle of my practice. If we talk about the skill of concentration and tranquility, it is already extremely deep at this time. What I encountered is not distracting thoughts or external demons. It is difficult to explain what this is? People in the world talk about how to cross the sea of suffering, but don’t know that being able to reach the shore is already a first-class immortal kung fu. If you don’t sit and forget your heart, you can’t see the sea of suffering.
All the methods of practice in the past have been tried at this time. The double refining of the view of impurity of water and fire has no effect. It is impossible to enter or break through the delusional environment. The method of transporting the urn in a vacuum attempts to transform it, but it is found that it seems empty but not empty. All conditioned methods are futile. I can only protect the purity of the soul, and there is no other method.
As soon as I sat down, I forgot everything inside and outside the world, and I don’t know where my body and mind are. Only this sea of suffering can I know that I still exist. It is impossible to know how long I have been in seclusion in the Plum Blossom Holy Realm, nor can I know what happened during this period? When all efforts are ineffective, I feel not despair, and there is no despair under that state.
The only thing I can do is be calm, unobstructed, face, and experience of doing everything in the prehistoric world, and also detachment of inaction. Whether you go with the flow or ride the wind and waves, let it accompany you if you can't erase it, and let it go if you want to get entangled. Maybe what I said is too simple, but it is extremely difficult to get to this point in seclusion, and at the same time I have no thoughts at all. When all the experience scenes, such as those in the past and the next life, I actually forgot everything! I clearly know everything, but I have no intention of indulging in all this. I am me, the Meiye Stone in my samadhi.
Once this thought came, I suddenly saw the body and mind sitting on the bed again, Qingming Cave! I returned to the Plum Blossom Holy Realm, but I had never left. What did I feel? I wonder if an ordinary person has such a sudden feeling? A child always feels that he is always a child, and suddenly one day he finds that he has grown up. It is not someone telling him, but he naturally finds that he has grown up. Some of us around us have never felt this way from birth to death, from chaos to chaos, but many people have ever had it.
The final breakthrough of the baby's realm is somewhat similar to the great achievement of the golden elixir. True nature is the only one inside and outside body and mind. If you have to say anything, it is to gradually leave the attachment of body and mind, from the dantian to the purple palace, like my body reappearing. Move the courtyard and change the scenery, the baby grows up, there is no difference between the dantian, no soul to protect, a little real body transforms into a wonderful person. Going further, the yang spirit appears, but unfortunately I have not learned the mental method and the mantra.
After breaking through the gate, I naturally knew everything in the Plum Blossom Holy Realm. Somewhat unexpectedly was that there was a chair in front of me, and a white-haired old man was sitting. I opened my eyes and asked, "Grandpa Jin, when did you come?"
Grandpa Jin: "I've been here for almost a month, and I'm going to protect you."
"How did you know?"
Grandpa Jin: "Axiu went to Shizhu Village. Others don't know where I, the old man, are hiding, but she can find me. I heard that you have been in seclusion and I will certainly come to see the situation... What a dangerous disaster, what a magical Taoist method!"
"Is it dangerous? I think it's safe. What other Taoism in the world dares to be called magical in your eyes?"
Grandpa Jin laughed: "I really admire that boy Feng Junzi. He has great courage and great means. He dares to teach you like this! Of course, you didn't realize it while sitting in a calm state. I could see clearly. I didn't expect that you didn't need me to intervene in helping me, and you succeeded in just sitting."
"How long will it take for me to stay in seclusion?"
Grandpa Jin: "The moon is waxing and fuller, and it's just one month."
"So long?"
Grandpa Jin: "This is still long? It's short enough. Although what you learned is different from my thirty-six cave heaven, I can also see that one kalpa will break several kalpas and make progress and transcendence!"
"Thank you, thank you for your hard work!"
Grandpa Jin: "No need to thank me, I am also entrusted by someone."
"Then I thank A Xiu, and I also thank you for A Xiu. I only now know that you have saved A Xiu."
Grandpa Jin: "You misunderstood. The person I'm talking about is not Ah Xiu."
"Isn't the one who asks you A Xiu? Is it Feng Junzi?"
Grandpa Jin: "It's him! But what he asked me for is not to protect your Dharma in the tribulation. He seems to be very sure of you to survive this great heavenly tribulation. What he asked me for me in his letter was what you had after the tribulation. He asked me to pass on the mantra and the mental method of the 'Yang Shen' realm in your alchemy."
"He asked you this? No wonder he said he had made arrangements last time when I asked. The thirty-six cave heavens of the first thirty-six caves are not the same as what I have learned. How could he ask you to teach me? Did he also write the alchemy formulas in the letter?"
Grandpa Jin: "No, he didn't write it, so let me teach you! This brat, it's not counting to rob my apprentice first, but in the end he handed over the apprentice back and even gave me a big problem!"
"Oh, what kind of problem can stump you?"
"In his letter, he talked about your alchemy practice, which is combined with the realm of the thirty-six cave heavens of my Zhengyimen, which is the nine-level building of the three gates. The thirty-six cave heavens of the Zhengyimen, and the four-level cave heavens of the Zhengyimen, regarding the practice of the 'yang gods' he mentioned, there are four-level cave heavens of the 'yang gods', "Yang Shen', "Incarnation", and "Hidezhao". He said that your practice is different. After a disaster, he merged the four-level cave heavens into the first level to teach. In this way, he does not seek details but only breaks the realm and points directly. He is both savage and bold. I dare not do it in the inheritance of the sect. It has too high requirements for disciples!"
"Are you stumped by Grandpa Jin?"
Grandpa Jin: "Hmph! Stump me? I have been thinking about it for a year in Shizhu Village. Do you think I have been hiding for leisure? The little brat has never fought with me. I guess he is always a little unwilling to give me this question to test me."
"The true man who guards the true abilities are vast and has all the laws. Even if the immortals ask questions, they will not pass the test."
Grandpa Jin: "Don't flatter me, kid, now it's my turn to test you! I'll ask you, the alchemy Yang Shen realm uses the Longevity Art. Do you know what the Longevity Art is? In fact, almost everyone in the world has heard of it, but if you don't know this step of cultivation, your master will not point it out."
"Let me think... I will listen to you right? - Heaven and earth last forever. The reason why heaven and earth can last forever is that it does not grow by itself, so it can live forever. Therefore, the saint comes back to his body and his body first, and his body exists outside his body. It is not because of his selflessness, so he can become his own selfishness."
Grandpa Jin nodded and smiled: "Okay, very good, and I have realization after having a realm. I'm right. In fact, the magical "Eternal Life Skill" that people in the world talk about is Chapter 7 of "Laozi", which is just 7749 words. Ono, Feng Junzi must have also "worshiped the heaven" and "asked the way" when you were in the beginning of the alchemy. Heaven and earth are unkind and selfless, and alchemy is born to be selfish. He must have explained all these to you. Did you understand at that time?"
"Of course I said it, and that's all I said. I didn't understand it at that time, but now I understand it a lot, but I haven't thoroughly understood it."
Grandpa Jin: "If you understand everything thoroughly, what else do you want me to do? I will pass on your mind now. The mind method I teach may be different from Feng Junzi's habits. It seems that it takes more effort but it can help you get less deviation and surprises. Listen..."
Grandpa Jin did not delay any effort, and then taught me the practice of the Yang Shen realm. This transmission lasted for a day and a night until the sun was at the middle of the sky the next day. After the transmission, he stood up and patted my shoulder and said, "The most important foundation in practice is to be impatient. Remember not to be impatient. If the Yang Shen appears further, you can expect longevity. Alchemy practice has entered the Yang Shen realm. Since ancient times, others have respected the Earth Immortal. Xiaoye, I can call you Shi Xiaoxian in the future! No, Mei Xiaoxian."
"I am a little immortal, you are an old immortal. Don't everyone in the world call you an old immortal?"
Grandpa Jin: "Why did we praise each other? Don't say these words in front of Feng Junzi. We don't count them. This is just the praise of younger disciples since ancient times. That brat is a real immortal... Since you have come out of seclusion, hurry back to Feishui. There is a master who can't see you and me, and he will travel all over Dong Kunlun!"
"Who?"
Grandpa Jin: "I know when I go back, but I don't know you either. Also, go and meet the three women outside the door to relieve them. The girl Liu Yiyi has also arrived at the Plum Blossom Holy Realm. They are worried about you... You kid are blessed than me, the old man!"
When I walked out of the yard, I heard three people talking in the main hall—
Ah Xiu: "Brother Ishino said that everything is the same as before, but my hair color is different. If I can fully understand the beauty of transformation, my hair will become what my brother likes again."
Liu Yiyi: "The way of transformation is so magical, and understanding is already a magical power of the immortals."
Ziying: "Silly girl, just go out to find a hairdresser to dye it again? Don't think about everything in the magic channel."
...
Grandpa Jin said that a master came to me, that Taoist Wang Xiao from Changbai Mountain. Taoist Wang Xiao came to attend the Dongkunlun Dharma Assembly and volunteered to go on stage to preach. The teachings he taught were profound and wonderful, and everyone admired them. When the next Dharma Assembly, everyone still recommended him to preach on stage, but he did not refuse to go on stage happily. Taoist Wang Xiao gave three lectures in a row, creating a record in the history of Dongkunlun Dharma. It was not that no one taught three lectures, but that no one was publicly recommended three lectures in a row, which shows that all the practitioners in the world were still satisfied.
The second Dharma Assembly of Taoist Wang Xiao talked about the "one thought of the sky", which is not only limited to the alchemy practice, but also gives some tips to all practitioners who practice internal and external sympathy methods. His third Dharma Assembly was about the "three essentials of the overall situation", which was actually the starting skill of practicing all sects. The content and realm are not profound, but extremely exquisite. It is not only for ordinary disciples, but mainly for how to enlighten the Dharma when the masters present preached the Dharma. He talked about various diligence and cheap methods, and how to guide disciples to get started in different situations and qualifications. Now, not only ordinary juniors, but even the masters present gained a lot.
In this way, the sudden appearance of Taoist Wang Xiao was greatly promoted and became famous all over the world. He was unknown in the world before, but it was inevitable that he would be suspicious of his sudden appearance as a master of the world. However, everyone did not question his origin because someone knew him. The Wuwei Takuen of Xuanyuan Sect met Taoist Wang Xiao when he was collecting herbs in Changbai Mountain sixty years ago. At that time, he was practicing in the mountains, and he was just in line for the words of not setting foot in the world for sixty years. Later, Jiuli Sanren went to Wucheng to attend the Dharma Assembly and also had an old acquaintance with Taoist Wang Xiao. They had met him seventy years ago, but they were both very young at that time. The appearance of the master of cultivation did not change much, and they would not admit their mistakes when they met.
Wang Xiao became a distinguished guest in the world's cultivation world. All sects were willing to make friends and ask for advice. After the Dharma Assembly, he was very popular in walking everywhere. He became familiar with it when he talked more. Some people suggested to discuss and discuss. At the time of Feishui, the head of Xiaoyao, Ye Ming, first proposed a demonstration of fighting. Wang Xiao came out of the mountain without carrying magic weapons, and used the Golden Crow Dragon Staff from Cangwu to fight Ye Ming, and Ye Ming was willing to lose the disadvantage.
