The only real change is change itself.
Nothing is easy, everything is changing.
Who dares to claim immortality, Pangu has died, whoever talks about eternity, the Taitian Emperor has disappeared.
Since the disappearance of the Taitian Emperor, which symbolized the end of the last era and the collapse of the Divine Way, and now the rise of the Immortal Way and the rise of Haotian, the heavens and worlds have been quietly changing.
In a silent but unstoppable way, it pushes the wheel of history forward.
New morality has replaced the old morality, new order has replaced the old order, the general trend has changed, the days have changed, everything is different.
People have not changed, what has changed is the times, and the Tao is changing.
"The Tao is changing, and I am following nature and responding to people."
Shen Gongbao clearly understood his historical mission and clarified why he, who has outstanding talents on the path of disasters, would worship the Chan Cult instead of the Jie Cult, which is known for its path of destruction and killing.
In the past eras, the birth of the disaster star and the decline of the god was against the will of heaven. Only in the Great Tribulation of the Gods, the birth of the disaster star and the decline of the god was in line with the heavens.
Conferring a catastrophe to the immortals was precisely the opportunity for Shen Gongbao to attain enlightenment.
The reason why he cultivated quickly and was taken care of by his senior brothers was that he shouldered the historical mission, was born to cultivate Taoism, and was born to cope with the disaster.
If you miss this period of time, then you will be inactive, your original rapid progress, all the opportunities will disappear, and you will become an ordinary and ordinary monk.
When all the causes and effects of the great calamity come to your door, it will be the calamity that belongs to the son of the calamity.
At this thought, Shen Gongbao no longer hesitated and attacked Ma Yuan without any mercy.
"You, you really want to kill me?!"
Ma Yuan roared, the anger in his eyes faded away, leaving only endless fear, shouting: "My sin is not worthy of death, my sin is not worthy of death!"
In Ma Yuan's view, immortals are human beings, while mortals are chickens, ducks and fish. It is so unjust and aggrieved that he should be sentenced to death for stealing a few chickens.
"Fellow Taoist, please go on your way, don't miss the number of days."
Shen Gongbao smiled slightly, and the innate Qi slowly took off, like the god of death raising a sharp sickle, announcing the end of Immortal Ma Yuan.
Immortals living in the new era cherish the morality of the old era.
To put it mildly, they are the remnants of the old era; to put it worst, they are clinging to their old selves.
Therefore, there was the Conferment of Gods, and all, there was a great catastrophe. A great catastrophe of Conferring Gods was used to solve several historical problems of the three religions since the birth of the immortal way.
So, there it is.
Those with deep roots will achieve the immortal path; those with slightly inferior roots will achieve the divine path; those with shallow roots will achieve the human path and will still suffer the calamity of reincarnation. This is the life and transformation of heaven and earth.
So does Ma Yuan belong to the immortal family with deep roots or shallow roots? !
To say he is profound, Ma Yuan has failed to keep up with the trend of the times and is destined to be abandoned by the general trend of humanity and stay in the old era.
Call him shallow, but Ma Yuan has a deep foundation. He has truly laid the foundation of the Golden Immortal. He is an invincible existence among the immortals and has a glimmer of hope of enlightenment.
After all, Da Luo, the devil, is also Da Luo.
The thoughts in his mind were turning over and over again, but the killing move in his hand fell mercilessly, and he saw that the Immortal Ma Yuan was about to fall to the ground.
Suddenly, the sound of Zen chanting sounded in the void, solemn and sacred, golden lotuses bloomed on the earth, and the light was majestic. A figure stepped forward and shouted: "Keep people under the knife."
Shen Gongbao suddenly turned around, his eyes shrank, showing unprecedented caution and concentration, and he stared at the visitor. The Taoist came from the west. He had his hands in a bun, his face was yellow and his body was thin. He wore two flowers on his bun and held one in his hand. However, there was a smile on his face, and he bowed and said: "I am a poor Taoist, Bodhi, passing by the treasure land, I saw that this person has a destiny with me in the West, so I came here to greet him."
"That's good, that's good."
Shen Gongbao was silent and didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he had escaped from death, Ma Yuan, who was under his control, immediately beamed with joy. Regardless of his status and reputation, he quickly shouted: "Teacher, save me, teacher, save me!"
"Teacher is so compassionate and wants to save me!"
Wearing Taoist uniforms, holding branches in hands. Taoism is often performed by the Bade Pond, and the Three Vehicles are taught under the Seven Treasures Forest. There are often relics hanging on the top, and scriptures can be written in the palms of the hands. Piaoran is a true Taoist, and his beauty is truly amazing. Refined to live in the holy land of the West, cultivated to achieve eternal life and get rid of the dust. The lotus blossoms are infinitely wonderful, and the Great Immortal, the leader of the West, has arrived.
Ma Yuan didn't know the identity of the visitor, but Shen Gongbao knew it clearly and didn't dare to act rashly.
Throughout the ages, strong men have emerged in large numbers, and there are countless great people. There are countless people with great supernatural powers in the ancient world. However, they are not the leaders of the ancient world.
I have stepped out of my identity as a chess piece, but I cannot be a chess player, I can only be a spectator.
The real masters of all heavens and realms, those Tianzun Cult Leaders, stand at the end of the path of cultivation and can be considered first-rate.
The Zhuxian Sword Formation is so powerful that it is said that the clothes of Daluo Immortal are stained with blood, but the leader can come and go freely and carefree.
It can be seen that the leader of a religion has far surpassed the realm of Yuandaluo.
It is necessary to add two words before Da Luo, Hunyuan Da Luo.
It’s for Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!
"Good, good." Taoist Bodhisattva smiled slightly and looked at Ma Yuandao: "I, the poor Taoist, have a destiny with you. I came here to enjoy the Western Paradise with you, lecture on the Three Vehicle Dharma, neither increase nor decrease, achieve positive results, and complete this Vajra Indestructible body.”
"With the total number of three thousand, the heaven and earth will be restored to purity and freedom."
Ma Yuan said happily: "I wish to take refuge, I wish to take refuge!"
Shen Gongbao sighed inexplicably, as expected, the upper ones became immortals, and the lower ones became gods. People like Ma Yuan, who are half good and half bad, can be killed or not killed according to the rules. All in one thought, they should follow. Taoist Duobao went to the West to become a Buddha.
"What do you think, fellow Taoist?" Taoist Bodhi looked at Shen Gongbao and asked with a smile, even though he didn't use any magical powers or any aura to pressure him.
However, when this person stands there, even if he is an invisible deterrent, even if he does not speak, he can scare all the gods in the sky, let alone Shen Gongbao.
After pondering for a long time, Shen Gongbao sighed slowly: "One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a devil."
"The great demons come out of the great Buddha, and the great Buddha comes out of the great demons." Taoist Bodhisattva said with a calm smile: "This is the common law of heaven and earth. It is not surprising. In the east, it is called the opposite of the Tao, and in the west, it is called the middle way."
"What is the middle way?" Shen Gongbao asked back.
Taoist Bodhisattva smiled slightly and explained patiently: "Therefore, all dharmas are neither empty nor non-empty, and exist and exist. This is the middle way."
The principles described do not fall into extremes and are separated from the two sides, which is the middle way.
Permanence is one side, impermanence is one side, permanence and impermanence are the middle, colorless and formless, ignorance and ignorance, this is called the Middle Way and the actual view of all dharmas;
I am one side, no-self is one side, I-no-self is the middle, colorless and formless, ignorant and ignorant, this is called the Middle Way and the actual view of all dharmas;
The middle way is neither extremely good nor extremely evil, but is in the middle, neither born nor destroyed, not permanent, just like the mean.
"It is neither empty nor not empty...the middle way is the truth."
After all, Shen Gongbao was a man who once served as Ksitigarbha, and his understanding was extraordinary. He blurted out in an instant: "The Middle Way is the Tathagata!"
The Tathagata is neither evil nor good, but the enlightened one.
The enlightened person, standing in the center without being deflected by external objects, observes all living things in the world with the most rational attitude, and suddenly becomes enlightened and becomes a Buddha. This is the middle way.
Taoist Bodhisattva raised his eyelids and praised: "My fellow Taoist has great wisdom. It is difficult for people who are either this or that to understand the middle way and the mean."
"If there is a chance someday, I can go to the Seven Treasures to discuss the truth."
Welcome, Taoist Bodhisattva slightly swayed the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand, gold, silver, colored glaze, glass, clam, red pearl, agate, the light of the Seven Treasures flashed past, and Ma Yuan in Shen Gongbao's palm was brushed away in an instant.
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, brush everything!
Shen Gongbao's hands were empty, and his heart was also empty. He had a profound understanding of the power of this spiritual treasure. At that moment, time, space, cause and effect, and even fate were all loosened.
Ma Yuan escaped from his grasp like a loach, and escaped from the timeline of his destined death.
It is peeling off, falling, twisting, and changing!
"The great immortal's bare feet are fragrant with dates and pears, and the auspicious clouds under her feet are even more unusual. The magic weapon is performed on the twelve lotus platforms, and white light appears beside the Bade Pond.
It is not wrong to say that longevity is the same as that of heaven and earth, but it is not crazy to say that happiness is greater than that of Hongbo. The relics that have been cultivated are known as the fetal breath, and the bliss of leisure is in the West. "
When Bodhi Taoist got Ma Yuan, he didn't get entangled with Shen Gongbao. He just sang loudly and walked away with ease and ease.
Seeing this made Shen Gongbao feel itchy and unbearable. As a prehistoric immortal, how could he not have a poetry number? He was very strict when traveling. Sooner or later, he would have to write a poem to show his saintliness in front of others.
On the other hand, Shen Gongbao did have some insights into the Tathagata Middle Way, and he was unwilling to accept Ma Yuan being taken away.
Today I follow Bodhi Taoist, and tomorrow I follow another leader. If the day after tomorrow there is a great Loman who does many evil things and brings harm to the world, I will take care of it or not.
The bottom line is constantly lowered by surrendering again and again.
As soon as he thought about this, Shen Gongbao shouted: "Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
In an instant, the void was silent, the universe was stagnant, and time and space were frozen, as if thousands of saints had cast their eyes on this scene.
Fellow Taoist, please stay vs. I am destined to the West.
After saying this sentence, Shen Gongbao regretted it at that time. He said that he had said something bad, but he said this sentence. He could only pray that Taoist Bodhi would ignore it.
However, fate just likes to play tricks. Instead of leaving, Taoist Bodhi turned around and manifested the holy statue, which was several feet high and lifelike. It had eighteen hands, each holding a different magic weapon, including concentration. Yingluo umbrella covers, fish intestines in flower pots, divine pestles, precious files, golden bells, golden bows, silver halberds and flags and many other magical objects emit golden light like precious flames, reflecting the surroundings.
Like a bright sun, melting the ice and snow disaster.
"Fellow!"
"Any advice?"
This time, Master Bodhi's voice was loud and solemn, as if giving birth to some kind of great power, eliminating disasters, resolving difficulties, and welcoming good fortune.
Having done everything, he couldn't help but regret it. Shen Gongbao gritted his teeth and asked simply: "The Tathagata is neither good nor evil. He achieves nirvana and awakens."
"Of course, the purpose of the three religions is to encourage good deeds. Ma Yuan has committed many sins and killed countless lives. How can he be qualified to achieve enlightenment?"
When the Bodhi Taoist heard this, he was not angry but happy. He laughed loudly and said, "Do you know about reincarnation?" '
Reincarnation?
Shen Gongbao, who once served as Ksitigarbha, said modestly: "I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."
"Now that we know reincarnation."
The Bodhi Taoist asked, "Do you know what death is?"
What is death?
What is the definition of death.
This is undoubtedly a complex issue, and Shen Gongbao can only give it a glimpse, and simply put it: "There are three deaths for people, one is the death of the spirit and the body, the second is the death of the spirit and the mind, and the third is the death of the nameless."
Physical death is not the end, but the beginning, because the death of the heart is the real death. After the death of the heart, wait until the last person in the world forgets you, that is the real death.
"If you keep thinking about it, there will be repercussions." Taoist Bodhi asked in reply: "What is the proof?"
"True spirit." Shen Gongbao said without hesitation: "The innate true spirit reincarnates, is contaminated with acquired memories, and forms a soul. It is a living being. After death, the three souls fly away, and the seven souls disperse and return to the true spirit."
"Can a true spirit live within three deaths?" Taoist Bodhisattva said leisurely: "If a true spirit is immortal, how can it be considered dead?"
Shen Gongbao was speechless for a moment and could only reply: "In life, you should live in the present without asking about the past or the afterlife. Although you are in reincarnation, you can transcend reincarnation only if you don't believe in reincarnation."
Taoist Bodhi shook his head, smiled, and asked: "The me of yesterday is me, the me of today is me, and the me of the future is me."
"It's all me." Shen Gongbao said seriously: "The past me is eternal and can only be accepted. The present me exists and creates history. The future me is infinite and born from me."
"That's right." Taoist Bodhi smiled and said, "If you can accept the present, past and future, why can't you accept the past, present and future?"
"It's just expanding the time several times, there is no change in essence."
"Death is like a lamp going out, and reincarnation blows it back to life."
Shen Gongbao shook his head and said: "The lamp is still the same lamp, but the burning oil has been exhausted."
"You don't need to consume it all." Taoist Bodhi asked with a smile: "What if Meng Po Soup is cancelled, and all the worlds will return to one life?"
"The world is in chaos." Shen Gongbao suddenly shuddered, not daring to imagine that scene.
Father and son, relatives, grievances and grudges, all will be in chaos. They were enemies in the past life, and father and son in this life. Whether it is revenge or patricide, there is no boundary, and in the end there is only endless chaos.
If you are reincarnated with memories, as your emotional experiences increase, your brain will not be able to accommodate so many emotional memories, and the reincarnator will eventually go crazy.
"That's right." Taoist Bodhi smiled slightly and said: "So we need to separate the reincarnations of one life after another, burn the Yin essence in the fire of the mortal world, and finally a soul will stand out, which is extremely powerful and can carry the past, future, and present."
"At that time, there will be no obstacles in the way of eternal life."
"People are still the same people, they just witnessed many scenery."
"This is reincarnation."
"This is the foundation of equality for all living beings, and it is also the foundation of my Western religion."
Shen Gongbao understood what Bodhi Taoist meant. The soul in the first life was extremely weak. After being tempered by reincarnation, the soul became stronger. After countless reincarnations.
There must be a powerful soul who will stand out in one life and finally realize Daluo, Taiyi and Tathagata.
