Looking at Ye Xiaocheng's firm eyes, Qingdi liked this little friend from the bottom of his heart, so he couldn't help but continue to add:
Also, I think my little friend seems to have unintentionally embarked on a path of belief in merit and virtue. Since you have embarked on it, then follow it to the end. Maybe it can greatly alleviate the constraints and troubles caused by karma.
As for whether you can completely untie the shackles of cause and effect, I dare not say for sure. What's more, without the shackles of cause and effect, how can you resolve your three extreme opposites and coexistence of fate? It is also a big problem. This is your future. Something that had to be figured out.
To put it bluntly, I can't help you with this matter.
My friend, you should be a person with a great background. You have gone through countless reincarnations. Your life is the accumulation of luck and misfortune, the entanglement of life and death, as well as blessings and misfortunes. The successive phases have been accumulated into this life.
These should all be brought about by the huge karma you are burdened with. It is very likely that all your karma must be resolved in this life. In other words, you must either resolve all the karma and obtain great liberation, or you may fall into reincarnation forever and there will be no escape. day.
Finally, I would like to tell you two words: All things have spirits, and to cultivate the Tao, you must first cultivate your heart. If you really understand these two sentences, the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit will be right before your eyes.
Ye Xiaocheng nodded gratefully.
The matter of cause and effect was elusive and difficult to figure out, so he simply let it go.
As for how to settle the cause and effect, he doesn't even know what the cause and effect is yet, so how can he talk about ending it? I can only let it go and not mention it.
He only half-believed Qingdi's words. After all, Qingdi was not a powerful person who specialized in cultivating the path of karma and destiny. He only saw his destiny through a qi-gazing technique. That's all, and it may not be accurate.
Qingdi reminded him to stick to the path of merit and belief, which was in line with his wishes, and of course he was willing to give it a try.
His understanding of the path of merit and belief is to do good deeds, make God like you, grant yourself the golden light of merit, make the poor and suffering people like you, and provide you with faith.
However, the true path of faith in merit is definitely more than this. This is the surface, and inside, it is the heart of a benevolent person and a broad and broad mind.
Ye Xiaocheng only knew a little bit.
Qingdi took out the piece of green copper, and now the innate lotus seed has been deeply rooted in the piece of green copper.
Ye Xiaocheng wondered why lotus seeds could be rooted on copper blocks, why shouldn't they be rooted in the soil?
Before he could finish thinking about it, the Qing Emperor's soul had already been put into the innate lotus seed, and then the copper block sank into the green water, and the green pool fell into Ye Xiaocheng's hands.
He was about to put the green pool in the fairy medicine garden, but unexpectedly, the Xuan Ni Gate at the bottom of his Dantian shook, and then swallowed the green pool in his hand.
"I'll wipe it, don't do it like this." Ye Xiaocheng wailed.
The Mystic Gate ignored him at all. After swallowing the green pool, it remained silent and motionless, as if nothing happened.
Ye Xiaocheng was not worried about the green copper block and the innate lotus seed, but worried about whether Qingdi would be fine, but it was a fait accompli and there was no use worrying.
Ye Xiaocheng couldn't understand why Xuanmen's Sect was so concerned about things like seeds. Last time it swallowed the seed that seemed to be the universe, and this time it swallowed the innate lotus seed.
But here comes the question, since I like seeds, why didn't I swallow the seed of the innate spiritual root or the seed of the innate sword fetus?
Could it be that Xuan Ni's Gate is picky about food and thinks they are not qualified? Out of sight.
Ye Xiaocheng relived what Qingdi said to him in his mind.
What he likes most is the order created by Qingdi, which can be called the spring of the world of cultivation.
In that spring world, the strong are suppressed and can no longer do whatever they want, while the weak are protected and enjoy the space to develop freely.
In that world, the relationship between people no longer involves intrigues, and there is no need to be wary of someone stabbing someone in the back.
In that world, what people valued was family affection and friendship, rather than the naked and unabashed exchange of interests that prevailed everywhere in the world of cultivation today.
He really wanted to live in such a world.
If there is no existing one, he wants to create a new world like this.
It's a pity that he knows that he can't do it at all, unless one day he also has the authority of Qingdi.
He looked at Su Ying, who was still shrouded in a thick cocoon of spiritual energy, showing no signs of waking up.
He decided to practice first instead of being in a daze.
The three magical powers passed down to him by the Qing Emperor are now being untied one by one and being accepted by his main soul. It is estimated that it will take several months to fully receive them, and then a few more years to absorb and digest them.
In the future, he will be able to master these three heaven-level magical powers. I wonder what it will feel like.
Ye Xiaocheng is looking forward to these three magical powers. It's just fun.
He also thought of the last two maxims that Emperor Qing said to him: All things have spirits, and to cultivate the Tao, you must first cultivate your heart.
Everything has a spirit, and he doesn't know how to understand it.
Does it mean that flowers, plants and trees have spirits?
But what’s the use of understanding this?
He suddenly remembered a story.
It is said that there was a very famous Zen master who was very good at speaking on the scriptures.
When he usually told his disciples about the Great Way, there was a stubborn stone next to him. No one expected that this stubborn stone was also listening to the Zen master's sermons.
One day, when the Zen master was talking about something subtle, the stubborn stone nodded involuntarily.
This incident caused a sensation in the world, so people called this Zen Master "Shitudou" Zen Master.
Ye Xiaocheng felt that this should be a fable, not something that really happened.
He also thought of a famous topic in Western Buddhist circles: Do stubborn rocks also have Buddha nature?
Finally, the monks and Zen masters divided into two groups.
One school believes that all things have spirits, and concludes from this that all rocks, plants and trees have Buddha nature.
The other school admits that flowers, plants and trees have spirits, but rocks and clods of earth do not have Buddha nature.
The two factions were at loggerheads, and in the end no one could convince the other.
Ye Xiaocheng was very suspicious that the so-called Shi Nodou was made up by the first faction to prove their arguments.
He put aside the animism of all things.
Since the Western Buddhist community has not solved this issue, he certainly cannot solve it either.
He began to think about cultivating the Tao first and cultivating the mind first. This is not a proposition, but a method of cultivation.
But he didn't know how to cultivate the mind, or in other words, there was no way to cultivate the mind in the world of cultivation.
If you want to cultivate your mind, you must first find your own mind.
He looked at his heart. Is this the heart he wants to cultivate?
no.
If you want to train your heart, he has already done it.
In the nine-turn body-building exercise of the golden body, the third turn is to strengthen the muscles and also temper the internal organs. It can be said that his heart has been strengthened.
Now there are sporadic golden light spots shining on his heart, which is proof that the heart has been exercised.
Of course, there are many other ways to cultivate the heart.
For example, he read about a Five Elements technique that uses the essence of the Five Elements to be integrated into the five internal organs. Few people practice this technique. Firstly, it is because the essence of the Five Elements is too difficult to find. Secondly, because this technique is too dangerous and many people are lucky. Those who obtained the essence of the Five Elements all died in the process of fusing the essence of the Five Elements with the five internal organs.
Over time, this skill was put on the shelf and no one dared to touch it.
No.
Cultivation of the mind has nothing to do with your own heart.
So what kind of mind is being cultivated?
Suddenly a story emerged from his mind.
This is a conversation between a Zen master and his disciples.
His disciples always felt restless and uneasy during zazen, so they came to ask the master for help.
The Zen master said to him: "Send your heart here, and I will be with you."
The disciple was suddenly confused.
Where is your heart?
What is the heart?
He also fell into confusion. Is the heart the heart?
No, the heart is just a physical organ that is in charge of the blood supply of the human body. It is not the heart that people often say.
The heart that people often say controls consciousness, controls thinking, and controls all emotions.
Shouldn’t changes in consciousness, thinking, and emotions be controlled by the soul?
wrong.
It seems that all this is really controlled by the soul, but the soul, consciousness and will are two different things. Changes in thinking and emotions should be determined by consciousness and will.
So is consciousness and will the heart?
Ye Xiaocheng fell into confusion unknowingly. He couldn't find his heart, and he didn't even know what the heart was.
He wanted to give up, but there was a voice in his subconscious telling him: if he gave up now, he might never find his heart in the future.
He was horrified and couldn't find his heart. Could it be that he was suffering from heart failure?
What the hell is psychosis? he does not know. But he knows that a person will never lose his heart unless he is really dead.
