Ye Qin looked at the surrounding environment. The gray mist seemed to have become more dense, as if it was about to form a substance, and the space also expanded a lot.
Other than that, there are no obvious changes.
Ye Qin still can't figure out what these gray mist-like things are. Maybe it's because he doesn't have enough realm, so he can't understand it yet.
"I never thought that when my end was approaching, I would be able to enter this extraordinary state of trance again."
Before that, Ye Qin wanted to enter many times, but he never got the point.
This kind of transcendental concentration is so mysterious that it seems to contain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. It is elusive and impossible to penetrate. Except for the first two successes, it has never happened again.
This made Ye Qin empathize with the ancient sages. In the past, they also searched their lives to no avail. This kind of obsession was really uncomfortable.
But now, at the time of life and death, he once again experienced such an opportunity, and I have to say that fate is really humorous.
Stepping into this mysterious state again, Ye Qin felt like things were different.
Ye Qin felt a little funny thinking about this.
"I was reborn from this, and finally died here, which is a good destination. Looking at it this way, it can be regarded as having a beginning and an end."
Having said this, he suddenly froze on the spot.
What is life?
What is death?
Does death have to be the end?
Will death be another beginning?
There was a deafening voice in the void, and the whole space was shaken. It kept questioning Ye Qin's true heart, setting off huge waves in his heart.
Ye Qin stayed on the spot for an instant, with countless frames flashing through his mind, all of which were the moments when he arrived in this world.
He had a brush with life and death from the very beginning.
Whether he was seriously injured by lightning, or was chased by a falcon, and almost became a meal for other animals, he was always on the line between life and death.
"There is death in life, life in death, alternation of life and death, and cycle of cause and effect."
At this point, Ye Qin was suddenly startled, and he had a clear understanding in his heart.
"The first time I became enlightened was because of birth!"
At that time, Ye Qin had just traveled through time and was reborn into this world. He was a little snake on the verge of death. In order to survive, he tried every means to enter the path of cultivation and recover from his injuries.
By accident, he entered this state of trance, and later he explored and opened up a unique path of cultivation.
"Now that I step here again, it is because of death."
The deadline is approaching, and Ye Qin, at the last moment, looks away from everything and ignores life and death. He can face death calmly. From this, his inspiration greatly increases and he enters this space again.
For him, the ending is no longer important, what is important is the process.
So what about life, so what about death!
He looked at the bones, worshiped the Taiyin, and peered into the avenue. All these had already transcended life and death!
Can all this be denied just because of death?
Zhuangzi said: "The big block carries me with my form, helps me with life, and leaves me with old age. This wisdom rests on me with death. Therefore, those who are good at my life are also good at my death. Therefore, death is the rest of life, and A man can reach life and die happily."
According to Zhuangzi, death is a good thing.
Human life and death are mutual transformations and are the cycle of heaven and earth. Only in this way can everything continue to move.
If there was only life and no death, then the reincarnation of heaven and earth would lose its effect, and the earth would fall into chaos.
The two have only relative meanings and are just different states of existence of things. Therefore, talking about "life" and "death" are just different views held from different standpoints.
"I understand! Only by obeying nature and transcending life and death can we be one with the Tao and exist forever."
"Life and death are one with each other, and both are indispensable!"
After thinking about this, Ye Qin finally realized that he was afraid of death before, so he could not break through to the third realm. This was the biggest crux.
All because he drew the ground as a prison and gradually moved towards the narrow road, so that the road became narrower and narrower.
He wants to survive, but he doesn't know that death is also a process of life.
Now that you have cultivated Taoism, you should not be afraid of life and death, and you should even be aware of it no matter life or death, because death is also a practice. If you cannot face it calmly, you will only lead to extinction.
All things come from nothing, come into being from nothing, and return from being to nothingness.
The same is true for life, which is a natural process. Life between heaven and earth is one with heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are natural things; human life is also a natural thing.
Most people in the world are afraid of death, and few people can remain calm in the face of death.
But for nature, death does not mean the end. The flowers and leaves wither and fall into the soil, turning into nutrients to nourish the land.
The dead tree will sprout again next year.
In order to better absorb nutrients, some plants will naturally die of some roots and stems, actively welcoming death.
The reason why they do this is just to survive better. It seems like death, but it also ushered in new life.
"I understand."
As Ye Qin's words fell to the ground, his pupils dilated a little and his eyes became dull.
He welcomed death calmly.
The organs inside the snake's body quickly aged and dried up, without any spiritual power. It was as dry as a vast desert.
A pair of human-shaped white bones also slowly condensed into shape, but this time, its bones were dim and dull, and even the figure became particularly ethereal, with only a vague outline.
It seems like it will be blown away by the wind in the next second.
And the light of the moon shadow was even more dim and incredibly dim, as if it was covered with a thick layer of dust, and its original clarity had long since disappeared.
The shadow of death hangs around them.
As the origin of Ye Qin, his life has come to an end, and the bones are naturally the same. With his demise, they will turn into nothingness again and float between heaven and earth.
In this chaotic space, the gray mist began to surge up, as if under an inexplicable influence, it squeezed to Ye Qin's side.
He took a long breath. In the gray mist, something seemed to be sucked into Ye Qin's body, which could not be caught by the naked eye.
It was at this moment that Ye Qin was enlightened, as if something was constantly traveling in his meridians.
The gray mist continued to nourish Ye Qin's exhausted body, injecting a touch of vitality into the body filled with death.
Like a seed, it slowly takes root and sprouts.
In order to resist death, Ye Qin kept using his spiritual energy to resist the death energy. Therefore, his body was constantly consumed but could not be nourished, and in the end he could only become exhausted.
But now that he gave up, these dead energy was transformed into vital energy, and he was resurrected from the dead and resurrected from the dead.
What people in the world hold on to is the overall tangible phenomenon of life and death. In fact, a person is constantly circulating in the formless life and death.
Confucianism regards the way of following life and death and completing life and death as the way, Buddhism takes the way of understanding life and death and ending life and death as the way, and Taoism takes reincarnation of life and death without life and death as the way.
Ye Qin believes that entering the cycle of life and death is the way!
His heart felt relaxed, and the shackles were finally broken by him himself, as if something was leaking out.
In the last moment of life, explore the road.
He was able to step into the third realm - Heaven and Earth Qi training.
