Chapter 158: Contemplating the Bewildered Karma, Burning the Body, Seeing and Knowing
Chapter 158: Observe the karma and feel the karma, burn the body and see the knowledge and separation
On the square peak of Zhengyi Sanshan Mountain, in front of the Ancestor Hall, the top of the peak seemed to be neatly cut off by a giant axe to open the sky, forming an extremely vast platform. Zhengyimen’s Ancestor Hall is located in the middle from the south and north. The cliff behind it is as bright as a gaze. The side halls and corridors on the east and west sides enclose a huge square. This is the venue for the sect conference and the third day of the Zhengyi Sanshan Mountain Conference.
The rising sun rose eastward, just past the top of Chengshu Peak on the east side. Ten thousand rays of light shone on the golden glazed tiles of the Ancestral Hall, reflecting thousands of auspicious colors that radiate in the sky above the square. Sitting on the square peak, looking around, the white clouds were surrounded by white clouds, and the clouds were as brilliant as the fairyland on earth. Only when you were here did you know that the weather of the Three Caves was magnificent. However, at this time, a black flame was burning in the center of the square among the clouds! More than 3,000 people were surrounded by three sides of the square and did not feel crowded. Everyone looked at the raging black fire in the center of the square fifty feet away. They could still see the strange flames that were actually from a token that was three inches long and two fingers wide.
This token is white in color, but there are several black lines in the middle, like vertical waves, and like a jumping flame. This is the token of Haitian Valley, the head of Haitian Valley. It is now hanging not far in front of me, and it emits a few feet long flame tongue in the direction of my reach. This fire is pure black, and the thick one cannot be dissolved, as if it is solid, but it only burns the flames but no light is emitted. Its name is "Kuhai Jian Fire".
The Haitian Token is a strange magic weapon. If the realm is not enough, it cannot be used. If my alchemy realm cannot break through the fetal movement today, I will not be able to emit this bitter sea karma fire. As for the magic that is controlled, it is the secret passage of Haitian Valley. If Yu Cangwu had not told me in advance, I would not have played this trick. Yu Cangwu passed it to me in advance on the "Bits and Sea Karma Fire" magic that was secretly passed on to me in Haitian Valley. It is said that this is also the highest level of practice required to break through and face in Haitian Valley Dao Dharma. Just Tan Sanxuan
And Yu Cangwu's current cultivation level cannot see the world after the Karma Fire of the Tribulation. Of course, Yu Cangwu cannot tell me both the mental method and the mantra. He just told me how to use the Haitian token to emit the Karma Fire of the Tribulation, which is necessary in the inheritance ceremony of the head of the Haitian Valley. What I am a former leader is not at all beneficial, at least he knows a spell that I have never been exposed to before. When I was casting the spell, I thought about looking back and trying it with the Qingming Mirror to see if it can be cast?
I am now wearing a silk robe with silver crane immortals and a dragon-patterned golden lotus on the clouds. I stand up in the middle of the square. The sea of suffering is ignited in the clouds. It also looks a bit fairy-like. At least in the eyes of the younger disciples around me, it is also a master. This outfit was sent to me by Master He Xi last night, and it also allows me to fill the scene at the acting conference. Although I look so proud, only I know the pain in my heart at this time - it is not easy to show off! It is not easy to take advantage of!
Why? Because the sea of suffering is ignited with the spiritual consciousness, but what is burned is not the magical power, but the "suffering karma" in the world! Aspiration of wishes in the spiritual consciousness, and in the mind, observe all the sufferings in the world - birth, old age, sickness and death, joy, sorrow, separation, love, hatred, and love. All of these things are like clouds and smoke that do not dissipate, turning into a raging fire. If I had not practiced the view of impurity among the four mindfulnesses of Buddhism, it would be difficult to master the magic of the sea of suffering, so quickly. The first mindfulness of Buddhism is "observing the impurity of the body", and the second mindfulness of feeling is "observing the feeling is suffering".
However, Haitian Valley is not a Buddhist sect, and his disciples are not a Buddhist disciple. The magic of the sea of suffering and karma fire is different from the Buddhist sacred truth, but it has similarities. As far as I know, there is also a saying of the sea of suffering and heavenly calamity in the alchemy, which is closer to the state of sea of suffering and karma fire in the sea of suffering and karma fire in the sea of suffering. However, Haitian Valley is not a Taoist sect. Perhaps when practicing all dharmas in the world is connected, and when the realm is superb, you can always feel familiar. I can stand here and ask for "pain" to eat, but I must be calm and uneasy with the thoughts of suffering. Because I also have to complete this ritual according to the steps. The first step of the ritual is "transmitting the merit", the second step is "protecting the Dharma", and the third step is "receiving".
The wonderful use of the sea token is that no matter whether the disciple has reached the level of cultivation, as long as he has learned the way of controlling the weapon and then according to the secret mental formula, he can use it to see the sea of suffering karma. Otherwise, if the next generation of disciples who left early had not had time to learn the Tao and Dharma, wouldn’t the state of sea of suffering karma be lost? With my current cultivation level, I would probably not be able to use this magic without using this token. The ritual of transmission of the power is very simple, which is to use the token to display the sea of suffering karma, so that Yu Cangwu, who was kneeling in front of me, took a look. In theory, this is enough, but from the perspective of the scene, I have to say a few more words.
"What do you see between Cangwu and the sea and the sky?"
Yu Cangwu: "The world is vast."
"What do people see when they are in the world?"
Yu Cangwu: "The birth and rest continue, and suffer from reincarnation."
When I asked this, I felt strange. This Haitian Valley is like a Buddha but not a Buddha, or a Tao but not a Tao. Which method is considered? If you have questions in your heart, you have to continue asking: "What are the behaviors of practicing in the world?"
Yu Cangwu: "Accept it and know it, and separate it and transform it."
I nodded pretending: "In this way, the transmission of the torch can be performed. We Shi Ye hold the Haitian token to temporarily take over the position of the head of Haitian. We were entrusted by Tan Sanxuan, the 19th generation leader, and passed on to Yu Cangwu, a disciple of the 20th generation. We are the same disciples and fellow disciples."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand. Suddenly, a scream came from the silent venue. The black flame suddenly expanded and ignited upwards for dozens of feet high. Seeing that the bottom of the color was still as thick ink as it was, but the sky was already swaying like a faint mist. And the sea token was wrapped in the flames and could no longer be seen. Why did I grit my teeth? It was not easy to use this skill, but I was even more worried about Yu Cangwu. The next step of the ritual "protection" is too spoof? I can't do it or not, so I could only ask again: "Do you accept it?"
Yu Cangwu: "Receive it."
I waved my hand again, and the flames flew out and landed on the ground, wrapping Yu Cangwu's entire body. I could feel that the sea of suffering is not warm, and it was a gathering of thousands of thoughts, but I didn't know what it would feel like to burn on people? Although I made such a big scene, after all, I just used the sea token to send it out, and it did not have the power of the sea of suffering, but I'm afraid Yu Cangwu was wrapped in it, right?
I looked at the black flames wrapped around Yu Cangwu, with a vaguely kneeling figure, and asked again: "Do you know?"
I wanted to finish the Q&A quickly, so that Yu Cangwu would kneel down for a while in the sea of suffering and karma fire, and quickly completed the ceremony. However, Yu Cangwu's answer at this time turned out to be the shortest before and said a lot: "Disciple traveling around the world, although he deliberately suffered, he did not know that the suffering is suffering and thought that he was happy. Today, he realized that the obstacles of knowledge have not been eliminated... He has a body of magical power, but only observes people but does not burn his heart, how can he know the suffering in the world? If he suffers it but does not know it, he cannot leave it.... He thinks that evil thieves will accept it, but he cannot leave it well. If he adds the suffering of his body to the world, he will eventually be no longer regained... He suffers the sea of suffering and karma fire, and sees the realm of knowledge and separation, thank you!"
Damn! Yu Cangwu actually knelt in the fire and began to realize the truth. This is not necessarily a breakthrough in cultivation, but an improvement in the realm. I have had this feeling before. In terms of his cultivation, his cultivation should be above me. I burned him over and understood it with a fire, and I also felt something vaguely. Before I could think more, I asked again: "Do you leave me?"
Yu Cangwu: "I have not left him, but I can see the state of separation."
"Can you transform?"
Yu Cangwu: "I wish to transform it."
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised my hand and said, "Today I will pass on the Dharma seat to you, I will protect you." After saying that, I took my divine thoughts and stopped controlling the weapon, but the black fire did not go out.
Yu Cangwu bowed three times to the ground and held the sky with both hands. He saw that his palms also emitted a flame-like light. This light was different from the fire of Kuhai. It was white! The white light rose up along the surface of the flame and reached a height of dozens of feet, completely wrapping the black fire. At this time, if you look from a distance, the scene was very grand and spectacular! The black flames that soared into the sky scattered bright white light.
The white light gradually rose and condensed as the substance, covering the black flames. The black flames gradually stopped beating and seemed to be condensed in the air. Then Yu Cangwu shouted: "Sea and sky swallow, what is immortal!" Then he saw the white light wrapped in the black flames and began to shrink rapidly, until Yu Cangwu's palm disappeared. His hands were holding the sea and sky token in front of his forehead!
The "Protector" ceremony was completed so far. My nose was sweating slightly and I breathed a sigh of relief. On the one hand, it was very exhausting to control the sea and sky token; on the other hand, for some reason, when Yu Cangwu knelt in the fire, I seemed to be using all my strength to fight against the black flames. At this time, a burst of warm applause came from outside the field, and then it stopped abruptly.
Most of the applause was sent by younger disciples from various sects. They have been practicing in the world for a long time, and occasionally they have not reacted to such a big scene. What I saw in the secular world was a magical performance with great momentum! People couldn't stop applauding and cheering, and were immediately stopped by the elders in the sect. They stopped applauding and cheering, but there were still many people talking in a low voice, some praising Yu Cangwu, and more praising me - Shi Xiaozhen's cultivation is unfathomable and well-known. This is the first time I have shown my cultivation in front of everyone. I have reached the limit, but it still looks very relaxed.
The throne transmission ceremony has not been completed, and there is still a last step to "receive". I used all my Dantian Qi and overwhelmed the audience with a very loud but not deafening sound and asked: "Do you pass on the sea and sky valley to you? Do you know if you are responsible?"
Yu Cangwu replied in the same voice: "Lead all the disciples to bear it!... The twenty-eight rules of the sea and sky, the first rule..." Then Yu Cangwu respectfully recited the twenty-eight rules of the Haitian Valley. This was the first time I had heard the detailed rules of a sect in full. It was indeed rigorous and complicated. There were many precepts that had been heard sporadically before, but they were not as systematic as today. The rules of each sect are mostly similar, but Yu Cangwu recited them with such a serious attitude in this occasion, as if he had a force that knocked on his mind, which added a solemn and sacred color to the precepts themselves.
After memorizing the twenty-eight sect rules, Yu Cangwu's voice rose and he actually used his magical powers in his voice, recited the three major precepts that the world's practice world has been abide by. Finally, he said: "The rules of Haitian Gate, the precepts of practice, Yu Cangwu leads Haitian Valley to guard and supervise the actions, and the same people in the world hold it together."
At this time, I turned sideways and asked aside: "President Yu Cangwu, please get up and receive worship!"
Yu Cangwu stood up, held the Haitian token in his hand, stood at my position just now, turned around and stood up to the south with his chest. There were not many people coming to Haitian Valley this time, except for Yu Cangwu, who had only two disciples. These two disciples had been kneeling not far behind Yu Cangwu. At this time, he stood up and took a few steps forward, and fell to the ground again: "The disciples of Haitian Valley welcomed the twenty-two generation leader to ascend to their seats!"
In such a big scene, only two disciples congratulated each other, and it seemed a little deserted. But don’t forget that there are more than 3,000 people around. As soon as these two people finished speaking, a thunderous sound came from Fang Zhengfeng: "Congratulations to Yu Cangwu as the leader of Haitian Valley!"
Shouzheng Zhenren took the lead and sat up. Everyone, including me in the field, bowed and bowed and said this. Three thousand people were like practicing many times in advance, and spoke in an extremely neat manner. Everyone's voice was very loud. Three thousand people said one sentence at the top of the peak. Of course, thunder sounded like rolling thunder, and even the clouds in the sky trembled! - This time, Haitian Valley had enough face, and the throne-passing ceremony was officially completed. Next, the heads of various sects led by Shouzheng Zhenren came out one after another and came to Yu Cangwu to congratulate him. Yu Cangwu led the two junior brothers to stand there and return one by one. It took a long time for everyone to return to our seats.
I saw Qiye also walked up to Yu Cangwu to congratulate him. Although his expression was very respectful, his expression was a bit strange. I know what he was thinking - in recent years, he was the only one who started his sect in the world, and he and Yu Cangwu were the new leaders of the sect. When Qiye of Hainan ascended the throne, although some representatives of the sect came to watch the ceremony, it was considered as Xiaowu seeing Dawu compared to today's scene. If Qiye could also put the Hainan sect ceremony at the Zhengyi Sanshan Conference, how much influence would it have in the world's cultivation world? Unfortunately, he didn't have this opportunity. Fortunately, the third session of the Dharma Acting Conference was his battle with Feng Junzi, otherwise his "No. 1 in the world" would have been completely overwhelmed by Yu Cangwu, the "No. 2 in the world".
At the end of the first session of the Dharma Acting Conference, I returned to my seat and finally removed the identity of "Agent Chief" of Haitian Valley. Of course, it is impossible to put too many stools around the Dharma Acting Conference. Only a very small number of senior masters and leaders of various sects have seats. It is said that I didn't have a seat at the Dharma Acting Conference, but because I was going to appear at the Dharma Acting Conference, it was also a symbol of great respect, so I specially arranged a chair for me and sat in the corridor on the east side of the venue. Liu Yiyi and Han Ziying stood behind me. On the Xuanyuan Sect on my right, only Fan Fuzi sat in front, and Danxiasheng and his wife, Wuweidao and others could only stand.
The venue has only three sides. On the north side is the entrance to the mountain, which is where the tall yellow stone archway is located. There are no people standing there. Most practitioners in the world watch the ceremony in the east and west sides. Buddhist sects or sects related to Buddhist practice sit on the west side, Taoism and related sects sit on the east side, and some worldly practice sects that do not distinguish between Buddhism and Taoism are interspersed. In the middle of the front of the venue, there are two rows of red sandalwood grand master chairs on the white marble platform in front of the Ancestral Hall. The row behind is empty and no one sits, with a total of twelve pieces. It is said that it is a symbol, which is reserved for the masters and predecessors in the world who are unknown and have not reached the Tao. No one dares to sit on it.
There were three chairs in the first row, with three people sitting on it. In the middle was Shouzheng Zhenren. Behind him were two young Taoist boys with fairy spirits between their eyebrows and eyes. One was holding golden Buddha dust, and the other was holding a bottle of mutton fat jade that was about one foot high. On his right, on the west seat was the living Buddha Ge Jujizan of Guangjiao Temple. Behind him were two red-robed monks with their right shoulders exposed, and their skin was faintly golden in the sun, showing the solemn appearance of treasure. One was holding a scripture and a Dharma wheel in his hand, and the other was holding a Vajra Demon-Subduing Pestle.
On the left and east of the real person Shouzheng was a young man wearing a seven-star mask. Although wearing a mask, he could see that the man would never be over twenty years old. Of course, he was Feng Junzi. Two "fairy children" were also standing behind Feng Junjun, but discerning people could see that they were a little snake demon and a little flower spirit. In such occasions, the fairy was a little different from the stage, but no one dared to laugh. Guoguo held Black Ruyi in his hand and looked very cute and adorable. However, Ayou held a purple clay pot with a bowl-sized mouth and stared at his black eyes, which made him look even more different from the other.
The masters had already sat back outside the court, and Yu Cangwu also had a seat. The Shouzheng Zhenren came out from the east and walked to the high platform in the middle. He first saluted the three "ethnic elders" and bowed to the people outside the court: "The head of Haitian Valley passed the throne, and the cultivation of the road protects people, so it is a grand event that has not been seen for many years. It is even more rare that the two people appeared today and had great merits in the world... Haitian Valley protected the Tao with all their hearts, and Shi Zhenren killed the demons thousands of miles away..."
Master Hexi praised Haitiangu and me in front of the world's cultivators. Yu Cangwu only gave a few words, mainly to praise Tan Sanxuan and me, especially me Shi Ye. Master Hexi is white and fat, and he smiles with three points without laughing at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, but his eloquence is excellent. He brought a high hat and only brought me to the clouds. It is typical for a camel and not a horse. Of course, his main purpose is not to praise it, but to talk about the words and deeds that practitioners should have on such occasions. The extended meaning is very great, and he almost has to play the materialization and transformation of the Tao between heaven and earth. Finally, of course, he did not forget to talk about the three precepts of practice, and then thanked all the fellow practitioners for protecting the Tao together, as if I did this, all the fellow practitioners in the world were very proud.
After a grand discussion with Zhenren Hexi, he finally transitioned to another important topic. He bowed and said: "Dear fellow practitioners, respected and masters from all sects, who do you think should be recommended to perform again for fellow practitioners in the world?"
No one from each sect answered, but they all looked at the stage. There were three performances in total. The first one had already ended, and the third one had already been decided to fight Feng Junzi and Qiye on the Tao. Now everyone is watching Shouzheng Zhenren.
Zhengyi has a thousand-year Taoist throne and a hundred-year prestige. Now at these three mountains conferences, if you don’t see the real person in Shuzheng personally demonstrate the magical powers of Taoism, it is like a banquet without the main course, and the real taste is missing. Shuzheng has vaguely the reputation of the best person in the world. The four-inch Thunder God Sword on the hairpin is said to be the best artifact in the world, but few people in the world have probably seen him use it with their own eyes. The real person in Shuzheng who was sitting on the stage looked at him when no one spoke, and knew what it meant.
Before the Shouzheng Zhenren could speak, Ge Jujizan Living Buddha on his right hand had already spoken: "Senior Brother Shouzheng, even the old monk has never seen the legendary thunder of the God of Thunder Sword with his own eyes how the legendary thunder of the God of Thunder Sword has changed? Today, not only are the fellows in the world curious, but even I, a hundred-year-old monk, are also very curious."
Shouzheng laughed and said, "The Buddha's practice has long been like a sea of abyss, and there are urinations with thousands of waves but it doesn't move his heart. Isn't it to speak today for curiosity?... The purpose of the Dharma Performance Conference was to demonstrate the wonderful state of practice, so as to break the disciple's doubts about the master, the Dharma, and the doubts about me. How can I become a person? Since the Buddha spoke, how can you and me evolve with each other?"
The living Buddha's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was neither polite nor rude. Instead, he replied calmly and peacefully: "The old monk is doing this."
Shouzheng nodded: "Okay, we two old guys will show up."
After saying this, Shouzheng Zhenren didn't say much, and stretched out his fingers to draw a few strokes in the air in front of him. Everyone was puzzled and could not understand it for a long time. I suddenly felt that the light on the top of the Fangzheng Peak was wrong, as if infinite magic power was gathered, and suddenly looked up and found that the sky had changed! A floating cloud covered the rising sun. I don't know how far it was, covering the sky of the three mountains. With Shouzheng Zhenren's gesture, golden curves appeared - Shouzheng Zhenren pointed out and could actually "write" in the sky.
Chapter completed!
