Chapter 455: Humans, Gods and Ghosts
"What does it mean? People with weak cultivation cannot go even if they want to?" Wang Ziqiao asked back.
"You should have heard that only by believing in religion can one live forever. This is the propaganda language that almost all religions have, Taoism, Buddhism, Catholicism, Hebishop, etc."
“Why?”
"Faith is actually a kind of practice, self-cultivation, mind-cultivation, soul-cultivation. People with faith are definitely stronger than those who do not have faith. This will form a gathering force in the soul. However, those without faith have loose souls. They are blind and confused. Once the body dies, the soul will automatically leave the body. Without boarding, they will not be able to gather. They do not know where to go. They will inevitably dissipate in the vast void. The soul will transform from two-dimensional form into one-dimensional form energy and no longer have any consciousness.
On the contrary, having faith means having firm belief, and the soul will become stronger. Even if the body dies, the soul can survive for a short time. It means that a person has the strength to enter another world suitable for the soul to survive.
Remember, it is the same no matter which world you are in. If you want to live and live a better life, you must work hard on your own. Heaven and the fairy world are just in front of you, only one step away, but if you can't even take this step, the gods will not help you! Even those who believe in religion have made progress to heaven."
Prince Qiao frowned and lowered her head to think deeply. Even Dugu Wuchen was thinking carefully.
Wang Ziqiao suddenly felt that this Yingtian was a bit like the old woman in her hometown when she was a child, known as the charlatan. If it were in the past, Wang Ziqiao would never believe it and would never think about these issues, but now it is different.
But Zhang Yingtian continued to smile and said, "Of course, what we just said was just ordinary people. They don't know how to practice, and their souls are not strong, and there is no guidance from famous teachers. If they die, they will die, and if they die, they will not understand it until they die. And we practitioners will naturally not commit suicide to verify whether the soul can enter another world.
Revitalizing the spirit, immobilizing, and returning to the ancestors are all for the purpose of the soul leaving the body and continuing to live. Revitalizing the spirit in order to strengthen the soul, immobilizing is an excessive stage. Revitalizing the spirit is for the soul to leave the body and the body does not die. For example, if the soul leaves the body now, your body will die as soon as possible. However, after the state of revitalization is achieved, the cells of the whole body can breathe on their own without the control of the soul, and automatically absorb elements from the outside world to make up for the loss of the body, so that the body can survive for a long time.
In this way, you will enter the next stage, and after the soul leaves the body, the body will not die. Then, the soul can continue to return to the body and continue to live when needed.
This is the state of this when the ancestor Bodhidharma faced the wall for three years without dying, and his soul left his body to travel in the world.
The world's No. 1 sleeping immortal in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the ancestor Chen Tuan slept for decades. He became an immortal in his sleep, which was more advanced than the ancestor Bodhidharma's cultivation level.
Moreover, leaving the body is also divided into levels. If you just leave the body, you cannot leave the body for too long. Otherwise, if you have no carrier of the body for a long time, the soul will not be able to bear it. Naturally, you will have to leave our world and truly die. Of course, you can also let the Taoist priests seal you in paper talismans and act as a ghost.
When you just leave your body, you must use external forces to stabilize and train your soul. For example, various visualizations, handprints, and ambergris can enable the soul to survive or even practice in this world for a short time. It is not much different from the ghosts summoned by Taoist priests. This period is also extremely dangerous. If you encounter a Taoist priest with a high level of cultivation, you will be unlucky!"
After hearing Zhang Yingtian's words, Wang Ziqiao felt chills: "If we can leave our souls in the future and meet you Taoist priests and seal us, wouldn't it be over?"
Zhang Yingtian shook his head and smiled and said, "Ordinary Taoist priests cannot directly summon ghosts from the soul world. Just like Taoist priests in Gezao Mountain invite gods and immortals, Buddhist gods and Buddhas to possess them, it is extremely difficult. The ghost in the ghost talisman used by Wu Qingyuan is just a seal of the soul of the newly dying person. Just when the person dies, the soul has not yet had time to dissipate or go to the soul world, they can see it and use the talisman seal.
Otherwise, it is not a ghost talisman, but an Yin God talisman. The ghost summoned from the underworld is much stronger than the soul of the newly dying person in this world. A Yin God can definitely kill all of us in seconds!
Of course, there is no need to worry too much. Those who can leave the body are generally very powerful. It is not surprising that they can fly thousands of miles apart. Even if they leave the body, they can still fight against people. If they can enter the realm of borrowing objects to show their bodies, it will be even more powerful. Like Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly, they change at will, with infinite power, control elements, call the wind and rain, come and go freely, and their cultivation is comparable to that of a real god, and ordinary Taoist priests cannot compete at all!"
"What level have you reached now?" asked Wang Ziqiao.
"I just barely immobilize! The realm of the soul has nothing to do with the realm of the body, but if you want your body to enter the realm of the sixth level earth immortal, you must make your soul return to the ancestors. If you do not reach emptiness and the body cannot directly absorb energy from the outside world, then you will not be able to break through!" Zhang Yingtian explained.
Wang Ziqiao could only nodded reluctantly, but felt that the world was so mysterious that it was even more mysterious, and she sighed even more by her predecessors. Just imagine, how did they know all this? They must have gone through many tests of life and death.
It is rumored that Taoist ancestors used many experiments to study whether various qigong or elixirs are beneficial to the human body. The worst of all, even thousands of people died. In ancient times, there were many emperors who died in order to seek immortality.
The soul is more mysterious and unpredictable than elixirs and martial arts. There will definitely be more people who die, and countless people who are obsessed with the fire.
No wonder Zhang Yingtian advised himself that practicing is to compete with God for his life, and he must be careful and conscientious!
"Revitalize the spirit, calm down, return to the ancestors, leave the body, and show the body! Is it for immortality in the future? No matter which religion, it seems that the ultimate goal is to achieve the immortality of the soul. Leaving from the body is to escape from the sea of suffering!" Wang Ziqiao sighed.
"We live in the three-dimensional material world. Is immortality okay, but immortality cannot be possible. Have you ever seen matter that has eternal life? No? Scientists have proved that even planets have lifespans, so I guess that even souls have lifespans, and immortals may not be able to live forever. They just live longer unless they can jump out of the three realms and reach the Yuanshi realm!" Zhang Yingtian explained.
"That's to travel through the three realms, right? Taoism has always said that jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements is the real immortality. Jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements is easy to understand, but if you jump out of the three realms and not in the five elements, where can you go? How can your life and soul rely on it? Is there a fourth realm in this world?" Dugu Wuchen asked curiously.
