Chapter 69 Ear Consciousness
Qi Ze broke into a cold sweat when he recalled this incident. Although the demonic realm was a delusion, it was extremely realistic, especially the teachings of countless Buddhas, which were unprecedented. Without the Diamond Sutra in hand, he might not be able to escape safely from the delusion and demonic realm.
.
Qin Kuo shouted: "Have you woken up from your delusion?" Qi Ze nodded and said: "Brother Qin, why did I behave so strangely just now?" Qin Kuo said: "I was very happy to see you break through the realm of meditation.
Then suddenly I sat cross-legged again, thinking you were about to enter samadhi, but unexpectedly a layer of black air appeared on your face, and a black shadow enveloped the heavenly spirit. Only then did you realize that you were disturbed by a demon!"
Qi Ze's mind moved. When he attained the first jhana, he was also disturbed by demonic calamities. At that time, the Buddha monument exerted its power and drove away the demonic realm. This time, when he attained the second jhana, he was also disturbed by demons. But by chance, he used the Diamond Sutra.
The scriptures were deciphered without the intervention of the Buddhist stele. I couldn't help but wonder: "Is it possible that every time I practice Zen, I will be troubled by a level of demons and will not be able to achieve a calamity?"
After thinking about it, these thoughts seemed to be very consistent with what he had experienced, so he asked Qin Kuodao: "Brother Qin, I only know that the Taoist cultivation order can be divided into nine realms, rebirth, condensation, condensation, refining Gang, and metal.
Pills, Nascent Soul, Dharma, escape from tribulations, and immortality, are there tribulations that will come to you every time you reach a level of cultivation?"
Qin Kuo said with a smile: "Are you asking about the order of Taoist practice to confirm it with the Buddhist teachings you practice? To tell you the truth, the order of Taoist practice is clear. Not every level has a doom, just because each level of practice is
At that time, you need to face many disasters. For example, in the Ningsha level, if you want to find the earthly evil spirit that matches your own Taoist formula, you have to go through a lot of hard work. If you are not careful, the true energy of the soul will be contaminated by the evil spirit, and you will fall short.
!”
"Another example is the realm of refining the Gang. You have to climb high into the blue sky to intercept the suitable Tiangang Qi from the nine layers of the Tiangang atmosphere. You must also keep the true Qi circulating at all times to prevent yourself from falling. Especially there are many elves in the Tiangang atmosphere.
Qi practitioners who don’t mean well and so on. The so-called three disasters and nine disasters in Taoism arise from this."
"When you reach the realm of escape from tribulations, nine tribulations will come one after another, which are the so-called 'nine difficulties'. If you can survive them, you will be able to live forever, and the God of Grains will not die. If you cannot survive them, you will not be mentioned again, and you will enter reincarnation again.
.Taoist practice pays attention to the law of wealth, couple, and earth, both of which are indispensable.”
"Buddhist cultivating the mind, I observe that the small formless Zen skills you practice are even more vigorous and diligent. Everything is based on the mind and does not rely on external material food. There is nothing so cheap in the world. Therefore, every time you Buddhist monks reach a level of cultivation,
You have to survive a great calamity, which can be regarded as having no relatives on the great road, and everything is just like a stupid dog!"
Qi Ze felt a sudden enlightenment and saluted, "I've been taught! Without Brother Qin's explanation, I would still be ignorant and ignorant of the truth." Qin Kuo laughed and said, "I am also a master of a skill, and these principles are still the same as when I first learned Taoism.
, what the master said is just to show that Buddhism and Taoism have different practices, and the proofs of each level are different. It’s just that demons can be divided into internal demons and external demons. You just clearly attracted external demons. Could it be that there are external demons from outside the territory to harass you? "
Qi Ze said: "I don't have a famous teacher to guide me in my practice. I don't know the difference. Please ask Brother Qin to clarify my confusion for me!" Qin Kuo said: "Buddhism is more clear about the matter of demons. Buddhas and demons are mortal enemies.
Buddhist monks can achieve immeasurable merit by converting demons. Likewise, if a demon can prevent you from attaining enlightenment, or even transform you into a descendant of a demon, you will be able to improve your demonic cultivation. I don’t know much about demons, so I dare not say more.
Word."
Qi Ze sighed and said: "The "Xiao Wu Xiang Zen Gong" that I obtained only records the methods of the Four Zen Heavens, which is equivalent to the golden elixir realm of Taoism. If I want to practice further, I can only seek the methods left by Nalanda Temple back then.
It is a pity that Nalanda Temple has been destroyed for many years, and I wonder if I have the opportunity to seek the righteous Dharma!"
Qin Kuo laughed and said: "You are crazy and lost your mind! You think that completing the second Zen is a great thing? The most important thing in Buddhist practice is mind. If you don't have the opportunity, you will waste hundreds of years without making any progress. Maybe a third Zen will be achieved.
You are stuck in a life-and-death situation. How can you compare with our Taoist practice, which can make up for your shortcomings, step by step, one step at a time? In my opinion, you should give up Buddhism and seriously join a big Taoist sect. With your qualifications, there must be a big sect willing to accept you, right?
Is there no way to hope for it?"
Qi Ze sighed: "Let me think about it again!" Qin Kuo said: "That's right, your current realm is still shallow, so you don't have to worry about switching schools. You can weigh it as much as possible. I want to go back to the mountain gate to practice in seclusion. Where are you going?
I just want to give it to you as a gift?"
Qi Ze said: "There are still some things that need to be settled in Wanxian City. I have to go and see how the Zhang brothers and sisters and Agen are doing. There are still thirty-six boys and girls who have to be sent back to their hometowns. Why don't Brother Qin go with me?"
"Qin Kuo slapped his thigh and shouted: "Good people will go to the end, send Buddha to the west, we will set off now!"
Yang Tieshou went all the way down the mountain. This time he captured a golden elixir level ghost in one fell swoop and subdued Liu Zhen. It was considered a success and he was quite satisfied. Liu Zhen followed closely with his head lowered and his face was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
something.
Yang Tieshou didn't care, and deliberately sneered: "If you fall into my hands, you must obey my orders. Even if you go through fire and water, you must move forward with all your strength, otherwise you will be killed with a slap! If you can cultivate the golden elixir, I will not
Forced to stay. Huh?”
Huo Ran turned his head and looked towards the hill, with Buddha's light reflected in his eyes. Yang Tieshou was surprised and shouted: "Who activated the Buddhist magic, how could the aura of the Nine Nether Hells reappear?" Liu Zhen also turned back quickly.
, his cultivation was insufficient and he could not see the Buddha's light on the top of the mountain, so he could only remain silent and speechless.
Yang Tieshou wanted to return to the top of the mountain immediately, but after meeting the Buddhist master for a while, he stopped midway and thought: "If a Buddhist master really comes, he must be from the Mahabodhi Temple. Even if I go back, I will never be able to please him! It is better to go ahead.
, just go and do the work among the ten thousand counties!" He left without looking back.
When Qi Ze and Qin Kuo went down the mountain together, Yang Tieshou had already left for a long time. Qin Kuo asked: "By the way, I heard that Buddhist magical powers are divided into large, medium and small. Every time you pass a level, you have the opportunity to cultivate a magical power.
, no matter how big or small, all have infinite magical effects. You have achieved the second Zen and opened the second consciousness. Have you realized any magical powers?"
Qi Ze said: "It was just now that I realized the second Zen, opened the second consciousness, and overcame the tribulation of demons. I almost forgot about it if I wasn't reminded by Brother Qin." After thinking hard for a moment, with a thought, there was a ray of light coming from the center of the eyebrows, penetrating the whole body.
The brilliance was so restrained that there was only a thin layer of Buddha's light outside the skin. It looked like water and when touched with hands, there were still ripples. Qin Kuo clicked his tongue in wonder and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, this magical power must be a small one."
