519, Jiejiao, to Seize a Chance of Survival for All Living Beings
No, this is not the fault of the gods.
But it's not the people's fault.
Bai Gui knows this very well.
Yang Sichang, a cabinet minister during the Chongzhen period, once wrote a poem called "Moon over the Xijiang River", in which there is a sentence, "If you don't die of hunger in peace, you can imitate the mantis with its arms full."
This sentence is a satire on the people who rebelled in the late Ming Dynasty. They should not rise up, but should die of hunger honestly. Otherwise, just like a mantis with its arms raised, it will be crushed by the court's cavalry sooner or later. This is also a quote from Zhuangzi's "Human World": "(The mantis) is so angry that its arms are making ruts, not knowing that it is incompetent." ’
The asymmetry of information leads to ignorance among the people, and thus their faith is harvested by the gods.
Ignorance is not a sin.
From ancient times to the present, ignorance has never been a sin.
"What are you studying for?"
Bai Gui still remembered what Xu Xiucai once asked him.
His answer was that he studied in order to know the truth. He wanted to know why there were ridges and ridges when plowing the fields. The ancestors only imparted experience, but the school could impart to him the knowledge of what it was.
Why study?
This time, Bai Gui, as an immortal with the top knowledge, once again asked himself.
"Du Zimei's great protection makes all the poor people in the world happy?"
He shook his head.
This is Du Zimei's ambition, but not his.
"Emperor, the young king has hosted a banquet in the palace, and I would like to ask the emperor and the empress for their permission."
The king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom bowed deeply.
Yang Chan was overjoyed. When she heard that the king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom had brought her and Bai Gui together, she was overjoyed. She sent a message to Bai Gui and asked, "Brother Bai, how do you decide?"
Seeing that Bai Gui didn't answer her, she was startled for a moment, and was about to ask again, but suddenly she saw Bai Gui's thoughtful look, and she had a rough idea, "The Emperor and I have important matters to attend to, so if we delay No, let’s just skip this banquet.”
The king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom looked stunned, but he did not dare to disobey the Holy Mother's will, so he had to lead the officials to retreat.
The crowds of people with blooming flowers receded, leaving only the common people sheltered in cold clothes.
They hunched over and knelt down to pray to the holy gods.
"Enlightenment, Brother Bai has enlightenment."
Yang Chan explained to everyone.
She has a rich family background and a lot of knowledge.
Celestial beings like Bai Gui, who were born in the Daluo Taoist tradition, all have clear minds and astonishing understanding. For example, Sakyamuni had more than a thousand disciples, all of whom were enlightened. Once you are enlightened, you may not be able to cultivate faster than others can see with the naked eye, but one day you will reach the other side.
Enlightenment, understanding this path, is equivalent to anchoring on the other side.
The rest is just a matter of exploring step by step.
This Tao may be a law, a will, or a wish, anything is possible.
But the road has been determined, but it does not mean that it is possible to go through this road.
For example, Ksitigarbha Buddha, if the hell is not empty, he will never become a Buddha. This path is the path of Ksitigarbha Buddha. As long as he slays all the evil ghosts in hell, he will be considered enlightened.
But how can it be possible to truly save all the ghosts in hell?
…
"What are you reading for?"
Bai Gui looked at the crickets kneeling on the ground. There were also differences in strength and weakness among the crickets. The one with only cold clothes was undoubtedly the weakest. He suddenly understood something.
The first step in reading.
In order to change your destiny and get ahead.
The second step of reading,
It was to allow people like him before to have a chance to get ahead.
Ignorance...can be broken.
When everyone is not ignorant, the immortals and gods will no longer have the soil to harvest faith. In this way, the doubts and intolerance in his heart will be eliminated.
He cannot change the gods, he can only change sentient beings.
Even if he has the ability to kill these "evil gods", if this piece of ignorant soil exists..., the wild fire will not burn out, and the spring breeze will blow again.
I figured out everything about the problem.
Bai Gui is not in a hurry to do it.
Planning before deciding has always been his style.
The problems he can think of must have been thought about and done by others, but now the gods and gods are still the same, and all living beings are still the same. It can be seen that this road is not so easy.
"Inspector Bai, are you enlightened?"
Chang'e looked at the handsome Taoist in front of her and was secretly frightened. She couldn't help but ask.
She still remembered that the first time she met Bai Gui, it was Bai Gui who was writing Qing Ci in the Chang'an Palace. Although Bai Gui was an immortal at that time, his realm was just beginning and his aura was still unstable. But when I saw Bai Gui again for the second time, his aura was like the sun in the abyss, and even more like the Supreme Disciple...
In just a few days (in the sky), this progress was extremely fast.
"It's not enlightenment, just figuring something out."
Bai Gui didn't want to say more and said perfunctorily.
Seeing this, everyone didn't ask any more questions. Matters in spiritual practice have always been taboo, and with so many people at the moment, Bai Gui was reluctant to speak out easily, which is also common sense.
"Taoist Master Bai, this poor monk still has the important task of learning scriptures from the West."
"See you tomorrow..."
"The poor monk took his leave first."
Tang Seng had already packed his bags and led the three masters and disciples forward to deliver a speech.
Although he had thanked Bai Gui once before, Bai Gui was still in the state of enlightenment. It's hard for him to leave without saying hello. The two were old friends, and Bai Gui had helped him more than once or twice.
After the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk took the white dragon horse and left.
Bai Gui asked: "Fairy Chang'e, I am now in the earthly fairy world. I wonder if the fairy has other places to go?"
He planned to take Chang'e with him to Chang'an and stay there for a few days.
Chang'an is a holy place for humanity, blessed by the luck of humanity, so it is not easy for immortals to explore Chang'an. Besides, with the means he arranged in Bai's house in Shunchangfang, even Yang Jian could not peek into the interior of Bai's house.
"I..."
Chang'e glanced at Yang Chan, her face hesitant.
She wanted to leave with Bai Gui. The reason why she was able to come down to earth this time was that she cooperated with the investigation of Si Wei Mansion. So she couldn't leave Bai Gui without permission. Moreover, she was a little reluctant to get along with Bai Gui during this period of time.
However, Yang Chan was right beside her, and she couldn't say this.
"Sister Chang'e, why don't you go to the Xiyue Temple on Mount Hua."
Yang Chan suggested.
She didn't think so much, and still regarded Chang'e as a close friend. Chang'e didn't have a place to stay for the time being, so it was right to stay in her boudoir for a few days.
Chang'e lowered her head and didn't answer in a hurry.
"Huashan is not far from Chang'an. It only takes half a day to get there by horseback. If you ride a cloud, it will only take a few breaths. It would be a good thing if the fairy Chang'e could stay with Sanniang for a while..."
Bai Gui saw the blush on Chang'e's beautiful face and knew what she was thinking, so he said it casually.
Chang'e saw this and hummed lightly.
...
Setting the ambition in one's heart may also be the path for the future.
After Bai Gui returned to Chang'an, he used Qianyuan Cave Heaven to transfer to Louguantai and consult his master Guan Yinzi.
One person's strength is limited, and the master is the one to rely on.
"Humanism, Exposition, and Jie."
"There are fifty great ways, forty-nine heavenly ways, and only one escapes. The teaching of Jie is to intercept this ray of life for all living beings."
"Your idea is slightly consistent with the teaching of Jie, but there are also differences."
The clay statue of Guan Yinzi nodded slightly, "Before you went to the Journey to the West, you went to the Hanli world once, where you saw the Spiritual Root Method..."
"Because of the Spiritual Root Method, you have this idea."
Bai Gui nodded and did not refute.
It is not uncommon to break the "ignorance" for all living beings. But how to do it and how to do it are the most important. There can be multiple theories, but practice will lead to true knowledge.
The Spiritual Root Method can plant spiritual roots for all living beings. In this way, all living beings have the opportunity to practice. It is not like traditional cultivation, where one in a hundred or ten thousand miles can be selected to find a good seed for cultivation.
"I practiced the method of repairing the sky and bathing the sun in the world of Journey to the West."
"I have gained a little."
"Maybe I can use meditation to teach the meaning of Taoism to all living beings."
He said.
The spiritual root method is more popular than the traditional cultivation method, but it still has some omissions. When he was practicing the method of repairing the sky and bathing the sun, he found that meditation is also a way for mortals to gain power.
"Yes!"
Guan Yinzi smiled, "It's a good thing that you have this idea. The so-called preaching is nothing more than essence and qi. Spirit, essence is martial arts, qi is qi training, and spirit is meditation..."
"You can create a method based on this and pass it on to the world of Journey to the West. As for meditation..., when the soul of a mortal is reincarnated, the meditation method can also be engraved into the soul, and the Tao can be practiced from the beginning of birth."
Guan Yinzi made up for Bai Gui's loopholes step by step.
There are few disciples in the human religion, and his disciples are even fewer. If Bai Gui succeeds in this path, he may not be able to achieve the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, but with this, he can also see the dawn of achieving the Golden Immortal. Moreover, Bai Gui is his disciple, and he will also gain merit when he preaches, so there is no reason not to help.
"Thank you, teacher."
Bai Gui breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him.
He thought Guan Yinzi would blame him when he said this fantastic idea. But unexpectedly, Guan Yinzi valued him more because of this. Yes, there are so many worlds, and with the power of the Supreme, it is just a piece of cake to open up a world. What if Guan Yinzi throws him a world for experiment.
The Journey to the West world is destroyed once in an era.
It is not difficult to tear it down again and start over.
...
With Guan Yinzi's guarantee.
Bai Gui did not rush back to the Journey to the West world, but came to the Sutra Platform of Louguan Terrace. The Sutra Platform is where Laozi taught Guan Yinzi five thousand words of morality, which contains countless Tao rhymes.
He was a celestial being, and could easily create cultivation methods below the immortal level.
With the blessing of the Sutra-Preaching Platform, he was able to create a meditation method with divine help. He created many meditation methods for visualizing the sun, the moon, the celestial stars, the dragons, fish, beasts, birds and insects. Each of these visualization methods can prove that one is a ghost immortal.
After creating the method, Bai Gui returned to the world of Journey to the West.
In the Tushita Palace.
Taishang Laojun looked at the method created by Bai Gui, pondered for a moment, and threw these methods into the Bagua furnace. In a short while, these many meditation methods were transformed into a blank scroll by Taishang Laojun.
The scroll seems to be empty, but once a mortal observes it, he will understand the meditation method that suits him.
"I can practice this divine scroll of meditation for you, but in the underworld, every soul that comprehends a law from this scroll will increase the burden of the six reincarnations..."
"You have to do this merit yourself."
After the Supreme handed the blank scroll to Bai Gui, he closed his eyes and asked Bai Gui to leave the Tushita Palace.
In fact, this heaven was opened up by him, and the underworld was the same.
He didn't care about a few merits.
But as a teacher, he had helped as much as he could, and he couldn't give more.
This is the rule.
There is a limit to caring for children and nephews.
It is not a good thing to force things to grow.
……
Huashan, Xiyue Temple.
After settling the matter, Bai Gui did not forget Chang'e who was temporarily staying in Xiyue Temple.
"Sister-in-law, Miss-in-law, Inspector Bai is here."
The little maidservant Ganoderma lucidum was in charge of mortal worship at the Notre Dame Hall of Xiyue Temple. When she saw Bai Gui entering the hall, she hurriedly greeted him and went in happily to report.
From time to time, Yang Chan and Chang'e Pingting walked out gracefully.
There was a hint of resentment in Chang'e's eyes.
She thought that after Bai Gui sent her to Xiyue Temple, he would find time to have a tryst with her again, but she never thought that Bai Gui would be away for more than ten days.
"A few days ago, Tianying Xingjun went down to the realm, but was stopped by my second brother."
Yang Chan mentioned the past few days.
Tianying Xingjun of Si Fei Mansion was still chasing after him. Knowing that Bai Gui and Chang'e had appeared in the Bhikkhu Kingdom, accompanied by Yang Chan, he immediately guessed that Chang'e might be hiding in Xiyue Temple... .
"The true king monitors the three realms with his celestial eyes, and the star king Tianying also overestimates his capabilities."
Bai Gui shook his head.
"By the way, there is one more thing. Brother Bai, the Jade Emperor's youngest daughter, also known as Zi'er, came to Xiyue Temple a few days ago. Zi'er had a good relationship with a mortal named Dong Yong, and even did not hesitate to peel off the immortal bones. Even if I cut off my immortal status, I still want to be with Dong Yong..."
"This Dong Yong's brother, his name is... Yuri, he's weird."
When entering the Xiyue Cave, Yang Chan chirped.
She is the Jade Emperor's niece and Zi'er's cousin. When Zi'er loses her magic power and encounters difficulties, it's normal for her to come to see her cousin.
Bai Gui echoed a few words smoothly.
The Seven Fairies have nothing to do with him.
It's just that Zi'er was willing to be stripped of her immortal bones and have her immortal status cut off for Dong Yong. Even though he had heard about it, it was still quite incredible to actually hear it with his own ears.
But after thinking about it, he understood.
The fairies in the fairy world seem to have been practicing for a long time, but the heaven is carefree. Although there are conspiracies and intrigues, it has nothing to do with them. Each one is like a greenhouse flower, pure and simple. If it were a true fairy who cultivated Taoism, how could he give up the immortal position he had finally obtained so easily...
"Sanniang, please wait a moment while Fairy Chang'e and I have a private conversation."
Bai Gui settled down, walked to a side room, and pondered.
As soon as the words fell, Chang'e lowered her head in shame and did not dare to speak.
"Yes, Brother Bai."
Although Yang Chan has thousands of things to say, she has always understood etiquette and is soft-tempered. It is not a trivial matter for Chang'e to descend to earth privately, nor is it incomprehensible to discuss important matters.
Her heart was sour, she nodded aggrievedly, and agreed.
"Brother Bai..."
"You...you and Sister Chang'e hurry up."
Yang Chan saw the two people entering the house and warned them.
"Don't worry, it'll be quick."
Bai Gui chuckled.
------Digression-----
Just one update today. I discussed the new book with several authors yesterday and finally decided on it. The book will probably be released tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It will also be written in the Republic of China, but it will be written in a different way from the previous Republic of China. You can look forward to it. I also hope that all readers can support me when the time comes.
In addition, when you have free time, you can also like the easter egg post.
