In an instant, the white sky was filled with criss-cross light, some as wide as a long river, and some as thin as silver threads, intertwined with each other until the end of the field of vision. It's like a big three-dimensional net, all-encompassing.
This big net is not static, but is constantly running, but it reaches a relatively static state in the running, which contains a kind of rhythm and beauty that cannot be described in words.
These lights are the manifestation of the law, that is, it is out of his imagination, and it is true.
Li Qingshan stood up and looked down, the same goes for the white earth, he seemed to be in a huge boundless circle.
Yes, isn't this world just a huge magic circle!
Strong winds and showers, lightning and thunder, rivers rushing, and all things are living-all are the manifestations of the effect of this magic circle.
The core of the law formation is "Tao".
Dao begets one, one life two, two begets three, three begets everything. Three Thousand Avenues, the world of stars, immortals, Buddhas and demons, all-encompassing.
Even in the previous life on the Earth, that huge universe was not like that.
People know the laws and use them, from stone axe clay pots to rocket ships, they are constantly approaching the ultimate law, gaining insight into the Three Thousand Avenues, and becoming the masters of the world.
It's just that the individual is too weak to accumulate strength, so there are no such ruthless roles as "Gravity Emperor Newton", "Relative Emperor Einstein", and "Communist Red Light Buddha Marx".
But this world is different. Individuals can accumulate strength and wisdom and become incredible beings.
Ever since, he also understood what a human immortal is, what a true immortal is, and what a bodhisattva, great emperor, and great sage at a higher level are!
Taoism divides the practice into four major realms: refining and refining qi, refining qi to transform gods, and refining gods to regain emptiness. Refining the emptiness and harmony.
There is no need to say more about refining Qi Hua Shen, as his Yuanshen reaches the ultimate point of refining Qi Hua Shen. Become the so-called "human immortal".
Although it hasn't been completely otherworldly yet, there is already a "Xian" character. I can finally realize the existence of a part of the law, that is, seeing the Tao.
If you want to survive the seven calamities and become the so-called "true immortal", you need to refine the gods and return to the emptiness.
The vacant, the empty; the empty, the Tao.
That is to approach Tao, use Tao, and get Tao. Naturally you can live forever. Calling the wind and calling the rain is fundamentally different from casting spells. You only need to "call", and Dao will naturally respond to them, just like in this colorless world, which is the so-called "speaking of heaven."
His people are extraordinary and extinct, no matter whether he was a human or a demon before, once he crosses this step, his kind will only have each other. They can understand mortals. It is impossible for mortals to understand them.
But this is still not the highest state, eight times of heaven tribulation, refining the void and harmony. It is the ultimate pursuit.
At this point, it is no longer the use of rules, but directly becomes the embodiment of a certain rule, the spokesperson of the great road. For example, the great way of freedom in the sky, such as the way of Xuanwu of Emperor Zhenwu, and so on.
The Tao is immortal, and the body is forever. Therefore, the great saints can only be suppressed, not eliminated.
A bird flapping its wings can temporarily overcome gravity, but even if it is the power of all mankind. Nor can it eliminate gravity. Only like a bird, with the help of other laws to temporarily overcome the influence of gravity.
Refining the emptiness does not mean ruthlessness and sexlessness. Otherwise, it's not being in harmony, but just being assimilated. It is as if he always controls the world of the five continents by his own will. Instead of becoming part of the will of the world.
So he clearly realized that sooner or later he would give up this great way of freedom. The path opened up by the predecessors of course made it easier for future generations to walk, but it also blocked the last step.
The great sages, bodhisattvas, and emperors are all road builders, so they can be called "great." The original meaning of Bodhisattva is "a person of great enlightenment".
He also understood why this "colorless world" would be regarded as the last layer of the eighteen layers of hell. All the hues are removed here, and the "reception, thinking, and consciousness" on it have all lost their support, which is naturally an inverted dream.
He was also thankful that he was not a true Buddhist disciple, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to reach the final certainty of the four empty samādhi-non-imaginative or non-imaginative.
"Non-thinking" means not wanting, but not wanting is also thinking, and still can't let go, can't forget, have attachments, and take the picture. So just not wanting is not enough, it must be "non-feuding" in order to be unconcerned and able to break the hue.
The "Four Meditations and Eight Concentrations" also belong to the category of thinking, and it also belongs to hue.
For a Buddhist disciple who has devoted himself to the Dharma and cultivated to such a realm, it is more difficult for him to let go of the Dharma than for the laity to let go of a hundred ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends. The more you make up your mind to let go, the deeper your obsession, the less you can communicate with the non-material world.
Li Qingshan didn't have this problem. It was just a tool. Use it if it is useful, and throw it aside if it is not.
All laws are empty, but also illegal laws.
He felt extremely regretful again. Once he knew clearly that he left the immortal realm, all these comprehensions would be lost, and the realm would immediately regress.
This is not because of other reasons, but simply because of lack of strength.
In the colorless realm, everything is inexhaustible, inexhaustible, neither birth nor death, nor increase nor decrease. You can support this state as much as you can, and visualize the Three Thousand Avenues at will.
If it is in the form/world, trying to maintain this state, it will exhaust his essence in an instant.
Can those eminent monks and great virtues in the previous life not let go to sleep for three days or drink a pound of strong alcohol? If you are in the red city all the year round, can you still get in
The answer is of course no.
You must have the six faculties clean, regular work and rest, light diet, give up all the enjoyment of ordinary people, and spend all your energy on practice in order to maintain diligence. If you suddenly become beautiful in the dead of night, you may not be able to control it.
This is the limitation of human beings. The realm without power support is hypocritical. As long as it is a mortal body, don't say anything about it.
But at least got a confirmation, an answer, knowing what direction to go, then all the hard work was not in vain.
So now, it's time to meet that "old fifth"!
Li Qingshan looked back suddenly, all the light disappeared, and everything returned to pure white.
A stone sculpture appeared in front of him. It was a stone monkey with three heads and six arms, sitting quietly on the white ground.
The shape of the stone monkey is quite peculiar—six monkey paws covering the eyes, ears, and mouth of the three heads—but not so tall, only waist-high, and even funny and cute.
But the feeling it gave him was as if it were a part of this colorless world, without the slightest abruptness.
Four words emerged in his heart: "Refining the virtual and combining the Tao."
He breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand, knocked the monkey head three times, dong dong dong!
The stone monkey suddenly moved, put down the monkey paw covering his mouth, grinned and said: "Wukong, is that you?" (To be continued.)
