Chapter 37: There is a Great Way in the Profound Scriptures
Chapter 37: There is a great way in the Tianxuan Sutra
"Although I am a divine beast in the sky, I have no experience to teach you. Because my ancestors are flowing in my blood, I just need to practice according to the mantras left by my ancestors. The mantras I practice are useless to you. However, when I was very young, I saw a very inconspicuous scripture in my grandfather's room, and I never saw it again. When I asked others, no one knew the contents of this scripture. Haha, I will just tell you casually, just listen to it as a story!"
Aren understood that the Heavenly Court had its own rules and perhaps there were some restrictions, and the strange bird could only disclose important information to him in this way.
"That scripture is called "Tian Xuan Jing". I remember it described it like this, saying: There are nine layers of chaotic air, that is, the nine heavens, one is the middle heaven, two is the envy heaven, three is the following heaven, four is the update heaven, five is the mahayana, six is the concealed heaven, seven is the salty heaven, eight is the sinking heaven, and nine is the accomplished heaven. It is also said: Heaven is mysterious because it is not seen, so it is said: Heaven's mysterious Sutra."
"Is there really such a saying in the Ninth Heaven?" Aren asked in surprise.
"Of course, this is just a legend. None of us knows how many levels of heaven are. There are even rumors in our heavenly court that the highest level of cultivation of our gods is to fly to the sky outside the sky, but there is also a saying that there is heaven above the sky outside the sky. However, our heavenly court was indeed called the Langtian at the earliest time, and later we slowly stopped calling it like this, and for some reason. So until now, some of our own people in the heavenly court also call the Heavenly Court the Sixth Heaven. If this statement is true, then there will be three heavens above our heavenly court. Obviously, no one wants to admit this statement. If there is really, it would be too terrible. I think I have countless gods and gods, and each star field has various gods and kings in charge. If there are creatures above us, how powerful it is, so we have never wanted to believe it. However, the facts have proved that threats from us have never happened in the past few hundred thousand years."
After the strange bird said this, he seemed to remember something and continued, "But there is a strange thing. So far, only the old man who refined the alchemy, the current Taishang Laojun, relied on his skillful immortal skills and said that he wanted to go to the outside world to find out the truth. As a result, there has been no news yet, so everyone has different opinions. People from the Taishang Laojun lineage all said that his master sent a dream to tell them that there is indeed a Tianwaitian, so they all practiced hard and could climb to the outside world as soon as possible, but others did not believe it. Of course, in the past few hundred thousand years, there have been only this exception, so everyone didn't care much. However, there are many heavenly realms in our heavenly realms, but they are not the legendary heaven, but they are just relatively small star domains."
"What I know at present is that there are three cultivation realms under our Heavenly Court. The closest to your Diyuan Continent is: Tianyuan Continent, there are many small sects there, just some small minions who refine essence and qi. There are some spiritual energy there, which can allow them to practice until they form elixirs, and after forming golden elixirs, they can continue to ascend to the top."
"At the way up, it is the small fairy world. Pills who make pills will look for protection here for seniors from the Tianyuan Continent. Gradually, there will be many sects. If the casual cultivator comes up and does not take in the sect, then he will not live for three days and will be forcibly decomposed and practiced into a medicine jar, because the practitioners themselves absorb more spiritual energy and their physical bodies will be more valuable. Maybe you will feel cruel, but it is so realistic. The small fairy world is full of golden elixirs, and they will continue to ascend to the sky after they form the Nascent Soul."
"At the way up, it is the Great Immortal Realm. The Great Immortal Realm is much more lively. There are all levels of it, including the Agility Stage, the Golden Elixir Stage, and the Nascent Soul. The most powerful one is to pass the tribulation, but it has been difficult for them to go further for tens of thousands of years. So I just told you that no matter how you practice, it is difficult and difficult to become a god. Even the most powerful tribulation ancestor in the Great Immortal Realm will pass the tribulation once every eight hundred years. If you can survive, your lifespan will be increased by eight hundred years. If you can't get through it, your soul will be scattered. However, if you can still survive nine tribulations, the fairy world will not be stuck anymore. After all, talents are scarce everywhere. These three small heavenly realms are also called the cultivation world. This is the most basic practice rule, do you understand?"
"Well, but I have something unknown. If the people from the Great Immortal Realm go to the Small Immortal Realm, the people from the Small Immortal Realm are going to the Tianyuan Continent..." Aren asked the most worried question.
"No, this universe still has its survival rules. It can tolerate you bullying the weak in one realm, but it will never allow anyone to go to other realms. It can only rise, not fall. I am an example. In the past tens of thousands of years, except for an immortal general who committed a great sin, who was thrown from the Nantian Gate by the Jade Emperor, I was the first one. You have seen what I am like here, and you can't survive, let alone do something. So, this is the survival rule of the world of cultivation. But one thing I want to tell you is that the people on the Tianyuan Continent are all local. In other words, they are not from the same realm as you at all. Therefore, even if you want to practice, you may not be able to go up. There has been no successful person in your Diyuan Continent and several nearby star fields for hundreds of thousands of years, so I suggest you to die of this mind."
"I haven't said that I want to practice. I'm just listening to the story. You keep going!"
Aren ignored the advice of the strange bird. Although he knew that people in his star field could not practice, it was good to listen to these magical stories. By this time, Aren had already understood that the so-called idea of practice was so far away that he did not have much intention to do it in this way. Therefore, after hearing the strange bird say this, he did not feel much lost. He just thought the story was good, so he wanted to listen more.
But the strange bird doesn't think so. It thought Aren still didn't give up and wanted to practice forcibly, so he slowly changed the topic and said, "But I feel that the practice of the people who practiced in the big and small immortal world is really interesting. For example, the saying "The heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs" has a big problem. Where is the heaven and earth unkind? Isn't it good for each immortal world to abide by their own laws of survival? It's just that it's difficult for them to ascend to our heavenly court, so I created this sentence. To tell you the truth, how many people in the great immortal world have not been able to ascend to the heavenly court in the past ten thousand years is related to their words. A seemingly simple sentence is actually the Taoist heart they practiced. The Taoist heart has been destroyed, so how can they ascend."
"There is another saying, "People who practice practice go against the will of heaven." This is simply fart, but strangely, they are particularly highly praised in their star field. Let me tell you, no matter how talented or high cultivation is, they will not survive the first thunder tribulation. As for the specific meaning in it, you can slowly understand it."
"Okay, just understand the above paragraph. I will tell you the content of the scriptures I saw. Remember it carefully, maybe it can be used!" The strange bird squeezed his mung bean-sized eyes and kept blinking at Aren. Aren was speechless. Even a fool understood what you mean. He said so thoroughly and blinked his wool-like eyes. However, at this time, Aren would not interrupt it. He cooperated with it in a tangled manner and smiled, indicating that the strange bird would continue.
The Tianxuan Sutra records: the great way is invisible, giving birth to heaven and earth; the great way is ruthless, running the sun and moon; the great way is nameless, nourishing all things, and not knowing its name, and is called Tao. The Tao has clear and turbidity, movement and stillness. The sky is clear and the earth is turbid, the men are clear and women are turbid, the men are moving and women are still. It reduces the root and flows to the end, and produces all things. The clear is the source of turbidity; the movement is the basis of tranquility.
If a person can always be quiet, the heaven and earth will return. He can always eliminate his desires and his mind will be calm; if his mind is clear and his spirit will be clear, the six desires will not arise, and the three poisons will be eliminated. Those who cannot do this are because the mind is not clear and the desires are not eliminated. Those who can dispel it, look inside and the mind has no heart; if the shape outside, the shape has no shape; if the object is far away, the object has no things. Only when the three are gone, they can only be seen in emptiness. Seeing emptiness is also empty, empty and empty, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is always quiet. There is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is always quiet. How can desire be born?
Since desire is not born, it is true quiet. True and always respond to things, true and always obtain nature, always calm, always be quiet, always pure and quiet. Such tranquility, gradually enters the true path. Once you enter the true path, it is called attaining the way. Although it is called attaining the way, there is nothing to gain. In order to transform sentient beings, it is called attaining the way. Those who can understand it can preach the holy path. The superiors do not compete, but the inferiors like to compete; the superiors do not virtue, and the inferiors hold on to virtue. Those who are attached to it are not called morality. The reason why sentient beings do not obtain the true path is that they have a false mind. Once they have a false mind, they will be shocked by their spirits.
Once you are shocked by your spirit, you will be attached to all things and you will be greedy. This is affliction. If you are worried and miserable, you will suffer from humiliation and wander in life and death, you will always sink into the sea of suffering, and you will always lose the true path. The way of true and constant, those who understand will be attained by themselves. Those who have attained enlightenment will always be quiet.
The spirit is not separated from the qi, and the qi is not separated from the spirit. The breathing is in contact with each other, and the neutrality is in the embrace, so you should not be attached. The two qi intersect, the spirit is in the qi, and the qi is in the spirit. The qi in the sky is one after another, and the intersecting and getting along is like a drunken dream, and it will be natural.
When you inhale, the air will exhale, and the spirit will exhale, breath will inhale, and go up and down, and return to the original source, and refine it into a elixir to become a fetus. The body and mind will be calm and inactive, and the spirit will naturally do something.
The intention is empty and cannot be imagined. It is like the calmness of heaven and earth. Naturally, the yang rises and yin descends, and the sun and the moon come and creates all things. After a long time of hard work, calmness is born. The spirit enters the qi, and the qi combines with the spirit, the five elements and four symbols naturally accumulate, and the essence condenses the qi, and this Kan and Li intercourse. The first tranquility is under pure yin, and the yang must be used to refine the true qi and the spirit will come naturally. The practice of refining is pure, and the qi is quiet for a long time, and the spirit and qi are naturally intercourse.
The light and clear sky is above, and the heavy and turbid earth is below. When the qi changes, the clear air rises into the sky, and the turbid air condenses into the earth, and all things are transformed.
The innate true yang and the acquired true yin, yin and yang are mixed together. Suddenly, the concentration is vivid, and creation appears, just like the heaven and earth are judged, and the universe is established separately. If there is something bright or hidden, it is the image of the mysterious pearl.
People are born from the yin and yang energy of heaven and earth. The true yang energy is in the body, which is lead, essence and Kan, the true yin energy is in the heart, which is mercury, spirit and li. The image says that humans and heaven and earth are the same body.
Water is called darkness. If you forget your thoughts and body in the darkness, will you fall into the stubborn emptiness? You will eventually have no elixir. You should use the Yang Shu to face the various principles, and the water and fire are connected, and you will be able to understand it. Yang Shu Fire Bead is the main palace of the Sun Shu, and the Fire Bead is facing the Sun Shu.
After the practitioners of the true mind have obtained the initial shade of the great medicine, the mysterious pearls form images, and their spirits are strong. At this moment, the inside and outside are clear, shining up and down, and turning into a bright pearl. The innate qi and mother qi and acquired qi are naturally combined. After returning to the wonder of nature, the medicine comes from outside. The mother qi, the weather; the son qi, the human qi, and the human qi, and the heaven and the earth can always be pure.
The first Kun and then Gan are also known as moving the tripod and changing the furnace. This is the true orifice of the golden elixir and the secret of the innate fire marquis. When the first alchemy is refined, the spirit must first shine the Kun Palace, use fire to refine medicine, and use spirit to control the qi. When the true qi occurs, then guard the Gan Palace, suspend it in the fetal cauldron, form a mysterious pearl, refine it into a great medicine, swallow it into the abdomen, and ignite the yin energy of your life, and turn it into the body of Gan Yang. This is the wonderful use in the air.
"Damn, how did you memorize this story?"
Aren discovered that this strange bird was indeed a little trick. He could recite such boring scriptures.
The strange bird smiled disdainfully and said, "Boy, who do you think you learned the skills you never forget? This is your Gray Bird Grandpa's secret skill. It has been passed on to you, but I am not satisfied?"
"Hehe, I said, why are we so similar? It turns out we learned from you!" It's Aren's turn to be a fool.
The strange bird turned white, Aren continued to say: The big and small immortal worlds and the Tianyuan Continent are all called the cultivation world by me. The cultivation world is generally divided into several levels.
1: Agility period: Refining essence into qi can prolong life and eliminate diseases and disasters.
2: Practice Qi and concentrate the mind: the mind moves at will. You can control things by your mind.
Three: The gods make elixirs: three hundred years more. They can fly into the clouds and fog, go to the false sky, and enter the false earth.
4: Pill-producing baby: Nascent Soul period. It can increase the life span of a thousand years and divide it into three bodies.
Five: Small achievement of immortal cultivation: the period of disaster response. The increase of 800 years,
6: The body becomes a saint: ascends in the sun and has endless life. "This should be the realm after ascending to the heavenly court, but few people can break through this realm at present." The strange bird repeatedly introduced the last one.
"Hey! After saying so much, you can't practice in Tianyuan Continent. Saying it means not saying it. However, you can think about the long story I told you just now. If you have a good understanding of it, it will be much better than the following things. And the things in it may be useful!" The strange bird pointed to a large piece of medicinal material in Jade Perry and said thoughtfully.
"I'm very puzzled. Where did you get the seeds of such a large piece of magic medicine?" Aren asked in confusion. Could this thing be transformed?
"Hehe, it's almost the same as last time. I haven't brought shit for many years. I didn't expect that I really saved up a lot of good things this time. When I was in the sky, I ate whatever I saw, so I had these seeds all over the ground. How about it? I..."
"Hey? What's wrong with you?" The strange bird saw Aren lying on the ground and vomited, and hurried over and asked.
"Don't come over. Last time I ate "bread", this time I actually pulled my jade perilla full of shit. You... you are so fucking disgusting!"
