Chapter 296. 295. Ten Demons and Nine Difficulties (4K [-]-in-[-])

Since the establishment of the Taoist sect, except for the "Five Dou Rice Religion" period in the ignorant period, in order to develop believers and let all the congregation "lower realm" publicize, since the Taoist theory of Laojun Sanqing was the central idea and the foundation of Taoism was established, no matter what What dynasty and generation, all Taoist priests have a cognition.

That is, the more pure and inaction, the better.

And "pure inaction" is also "quiet inaction".

Just like "basic clothing, food, housing and transportation", putting clothing and food first means that we must first dress warmly and eat enough.

If you want to practice, you must be quiet.

If you want to be quiet, you must find a paradise with few people.

But the heavens and the blessed land are all occupied by the mighty, how much can there be between the heavens and the earth?
What should ordinary monks who have lost their paradise and paradise do?
The answer is simple:
"Retired in the mountains and forests, dedicated to the Tao."

And why do you want to hide in the mountains?

Most people think that a Taoist should concentrate on cultivation, understand the way of heaven, and devote himself to cultivating the Tao.After all, there is a lot of chaos in the world of mortals, which can easily disturb people's minds.Especially Taoist priests who are not yet firm in their cultivation, they must stay away from the world of mortals and understand the Dao, so that their thoughts will not be invaded by external demons, and their thoughts will not be disturbed by the world of mortals.

People who think this way are not wrong.

However, if people who really practice Taoism talk about this topic, there will be a more mysterious and mysterious way of saying it.

The priest will tell you:

"The reason why practitioners want to jump out of the world of mortals and devote themselves to cultivation is to avoid the "ten demons and nine difficulties"."

Then, if someone doesn't understand, the Taoist priest will tell you what ten demons and nine difficulties are.

However, the Nine Difficulties are relatively unified, and the first difficulty is the difficulty of getting three meals a day.

Being restrained by relatives and elders is the second difficulty.

The third difficulty is to run around for wife, children and parents without any intention of practicing.

The fourth difficulty is to be greedy for fame and fortune.

Not knowing how to cultivate mind is not necessarily the fifth difficulty.

The sixth difficulty is not to be taught by a famous teacher, and not to distinguish the truth from the false.

Blind pursuit of whether the Taoism is advanced or not, and whether the state can catch up with others, is the seventh difficulty compared with others.

Changing orders day and night, failing to be as cautious as the beginning, and having a firm mind is the eighth difficulty.

And in the end, entering old age, with no hope of attaining enlightenment, and lamenting the wasted years, this is the ninth difficulty.

Practitioners, these nine difficulties are also called "nine sufferings", which are the same as the so-called "six roots of impurity" in Buddhism, and they all summarize some things that have to be done but difficult in life.

Therefore, the "nine difficulties" are known to basically every person who cultivates the Tao.

Because it cannot be avoided.

But compared to the Nine Difficulties, the "Ten Demons" are somewhat controversial.

Or to put it another way...it's not a controversy, it's just a debate about "which ten demons" these ten demons are.

Some people say that these ten demons are the ten demon heads of the Outer Heavens, who specialize in harming people's cultivation and interfering with those who practice Taoism to become immortals.

Some people also say that the ten demons are "heaven, earth, man, ghost, god," "yin, yang, disease, demon, and longevity".

They respectively represent troubles that people cannot understand, comprehend, and avoid.

There are different opinions.

But no matter what, in the thoughts of all cultivators, these ten demons and nine difficulties are the biggest troubles for cultivators in this life.

Run away from the mountains and forests, avoid the world of mortals.

It is the only thing a cultivator can do, the only way to minimize the troubles caused by ten demons and nine difficulties.

But for Xuan Suning, it doesn't matter what other people think of the Ten Demons.

Because in her, or in the view of Xuan Jun who has protected the dragon's veins since the Han Dynasty, the ten demons have a more specific and detailed explanation.

In Xuanjun's view of Dao Zang, these ten demons are born of human beings trapped in this world.

All beings are equal, no one can escape.

If you want to comprehend, it will be even more difficult, as difficult as ascending to the sky.

But, then again.

For Xuan Jun Guan, there is more than just cultivating the Tao in life.

Their original intention from the beginning of their creation is to protect the stability of the dragon veins and protect the common people in the world from being harmed by the monster race.

At the beginning of its establishment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty bestowed a decree, and the three parties of heaven, earth and people witnessed the establishment of Xuanjun Temple. The first master of the temple, Chisongzi, Mr. Zhang Liangdao, made an oath to guard the palace. .

Although there was no such thing as "Taoism" at that time, Taoism originally evolved after Zhang Daoling created the Five Dou Rice Sect.

But if it is true, the first master of Xuanjun Temple, Chisongzi Zhang Liang, who has no way of cultivating Taoism and is dedicated to protecting the common people... is the ancestor of Zhang Daoling.

Therefore, it is also possible to say that Xuan Junguan is the ancestor of Taoism.And this is why Zhang Daoxuan wants to treat Xuan Suning more courteously.

Regardless of the status of the Taoist sects in the world, people who have seen Xuan Jun's view of entering the world must regard themselves as juniors.

This is a rule passed down from ancient times.

And under the rules, it is the eternal ambition of not making alchemy, not preaching, not opening doors, not entering the world, and guarding the divine land of the human race.

And under this great wish, it has been passed down to this day, not to mention other things, just say that the "ten demons" have become a touchstone for those in the sect to understand their own body and to be in harmony with the Tao in Xuanjun's view.

Ten demons are ten levels.

Ten levels of heart training.

These ten levels are from shallow to deep, and every time you pass a level, it means that you are one step closer to the "Tao".

Those who pass these ten levels will ignore the ordinary realm.

Different from the mortal beings who are still struggling in the four realms of "being out of the world, being at ease, enlightening the Tao, and transcending", Xuan Suning is not out of the world, secondly, not at ease, thirdly, not enlightened, and fourthly without transcendence.

She has never made a move, so no one knows what kind of realm she is.

Even Master Huqiu didn't know this.

I only know that the method she practiced is called Harmony with Light and Dust.

It comes from the Dharma handed down by the old lord of the Sanqing Dynasty. It is Xuanjun's view of the secret collection, and outsiders can't understand its meaning when they see it.

What she cultivated was to pass the test of the ten demons.

It's called "Ten Demon Seals".

As the name suggests, ten demons are ten seals.

And when all the ten seals are broken, then like Chisongzi, the master of Xuanjun, he can shatter the void and ascend to immortality.

But although these ten magic seals seem...common to Li Zhen, they don't know... these ten magic seals are life.

When he was born, he grew up healthily with his parents taking care of him.

But when your parents are old and face the world alone, you will realize that the ten demons between the world are like silk threads, binding you tightly, forcing you to bow your head, making you powerless.

So much so... that cultivating to the realm of Xuan Suning, every demon is a catastrophe.

However, in the same way, every catastrophe is a new life.

Among the ten difficulties, Xuan Suning passed the five difficulties.

And when she decided to accept the ten magic seals for the dazed Taoist, her thoughts were very simple.

Her sixth difficulty is called Enaimo.

The magic phase is "relatives and friends are in trouble, family members are injured, children are sick, parents are bereaved, brothers are separated, wives and concubines are separated."

She doesn't plan to double cultivate with others, so she won't have children.

She does not intend to form a Taoist relationship with others, so there will be no Taoist companions.

She is an orphan, her parents are prematurely aging, she has no siblings, and she is out of touch with human relations.

But if she didn't even have any friends, then she wouldn't suffer from the death of relatives and friends.

If there is no such kalpa, the ten demons will stop here, and the way will not be achieved.

So, after coming to Luoyang, she made only one friend.

Exchange your heart with her.

Xuan Suning told her personally: "You are the sign of an early death, and I want to use your death to achieve enlightenment. After you die, I will build hundreds of water and land dojos for you."

And the man laughed when he heard it.

She will never forget that the other party's eyes are ignorant of the slightest nostalgia for this world, but there is a crazy obsession burning in his eyes.

Then, that person nodded in agreement, she was obviously a woman, but ridiculously more chic than a man:

"Okay."

Therefore, Xuan Suning only needs to wait for his only best friend in the world to do rituals for him for 160 days after his death.

At this point, love is magic.

Therefore, during the three years of their acquaintance, Xuan Suning would never refuse no matter what request the other party made.

She is her friend.

She owes her.

Since you said let me protect this Taoist priest for you.

OK, then I will help you.

The ten magic seals are the untold secret of my Xuanjun view, here is the great way, and one can see longevity.

I can't help you live forever, but I will help this Taoist past the ten magic seals this time.Let him understand the pain of life and death in the world, love, hatred, love and hatred.

Regardless of his future achievements.

At least, I am worthy of you.

And look at this Taoist priest in good health and with clear eyes.

Although his cultivation base is a little lower, he is at least a person with sound limbs.

Then I will help him to pass through the ten magic seals "like losing his body to a fire, falling into a high hill, being harmed by evil insects, wounded by poison, encountering a murderous party on the road, and dying of terminal illness".

If you don't know the pain of your body, you will be fearless of suffering.

Let him experience the magic seal of adversity for a while, and after he realizes the pain that is incurable and difficult to heal, he will understand that life is precious.You will never do the act of sacrificing your life like "that fool thought he could save everyone in Pegasus City" again, right?

But rather...

Seeing the Taoist who just stayed in place for three breaths, then shook his body and continued to climb the mountain, the eyes of the female Taoist priest sitting in the Taoist palace gradually became deeply puzzled.

Ten magic seals... the devil of distress...

no effect?
Or...he has already passed?

impossible! ! !
When this idea just appeared, the female Taoist priest subconsciously squeezed the fly whisk tightly.

How could he pass?

How could he pass so fast?

Three breaths! ?
The tribulation demon is over after three breaths?

The big joke of slipping the world!

In this suffering demon, one must be aware of the pain and struggle like the pain of insect bites. Those who have passed the magic seal must always clean their spiritual platform, jump out of the square, and refresh their minds by entering the pain. Knowing the truth about the preciousness of life, you can pass the test.

And in this seal, only when one is sick personally and the world is in harmony with each other can one be comprehended.

The reason why I said "help" is that I intend to wait for the Taoist body to realize that it is almost the same, and use the suffering and suffering of demons that I have suffered as a child to enter his heart, relieve the suffering, and become pure!

but……

Why is it useless?

There was a little light in the female Taoist's eyes, looking at the Taoist who somehow showed a look of reminiscence, her eyebrows were already knitted into a ball at some point.

or……

Looking at the Taoist who had walked more than ten steps away before he knew it...

try again?
The female Taoist thought for a while, and then swept the dust away with another blow.

A little bit of brilliance dissipated.

At the same time, her figure disappeared along with the brilliance.

……

"...?"

Li Zhen was taken aback suddenly.

Why are you here again?
Feeling the feeling coming from this body... the feeling that can destroy an ordinary person to the point of doubting his life, wishing to beg others to kill him, he thought in a daze while enduring the pain.

Is it painful?
Isn't this nonsense.

In a previous life, I had to rely on opioid painkillers for pain relief.

Can it not hurt?

But... after experiencing this kind of pain, when he died because of it, and opened his eyes again in a blink of an eye, he had already turned into a young man under twenty, after being picked up by the old Taoist in the autumn rain...

Live again, when the poor Taoist who understands the preciousness of life feels this painful but familiar feeling again...

That feeling, I really miss it.

"Tsk tsk."

Smash it, smash it, an idea popped into his mind.

You say...

Am I a bitch...

Good days, but why miss these blindly?
Go! Go! Go.

The demons are gone!
To the poor, I am the Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager, and the back and the back and the back!
His body trembled suddenly.

He looked up at the Dao Palace, which was still a hundred or so steps away, pondered for a while, then suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look at the mountain land full of fallen leaves on the side of the bluestone steps.

"Cough cough~ ho! he~~~"

Pretending to have a bad throat, he cleared his throat, covered his mouth, and spit on the fallen leaves.

"tui~~"

Although the movements are quite elegant, he knows how to cover his mouth and nose and spit in a civilized manner.

But I don't know...

Just next to the tree not far from him, Xuan Suning, whom he couldn't see for some reason, already had a trace of "(ΩДΩ)" shock in his eyes, and at the same time, there was a trace of anger in those wide-eyed eyes.

Has the other party passed the ten magic seals... There is no need to say much about this.

This time, she was watching for herself, for herself.

You can see clearly.

The Dao Yun Qi that was supposed to represent the devil in distress clung to him silently, and within less than two breaths, it turned into a kind of Xiyi that disappeared like summer snow after passing the level.

And from then on, Taoists will be free from all diseases. When practicing, their mouth and tongue are like jade, and their spit is like orchids. The whole body is fragrant, which makes people feel shocked.

Immortals have no omissions, and no omissions will cause miscellaneous diseases.

And after the two affliction magic seals were confirmed, Xuan Suning had no time to be shocked, and saw the thick phlegm from the other party...

My own clean ashram...

Dirty.

What a disciple!

It is so vulgar to pay homage to the cave sky of Lingshan Mountain without any respect in my heart!

good good!
Even if you don’t know how to overcome this tribulation, so what! ?
Xuan Jun watched the ten magic seals one after the other.

Difficult as climbing a mountain!

At this moment, you have just stepped up the steps, I want to see, this second seal, what should you do! ?

Thinking of this, Xuan Suning suddenly raised the whisk to sweep again.

Such as Qionglou Baoge, painted pillars and carved beams, bead curtains and embroidered curtains, Hui tent orchid houses, coral everywhere, and a house full of gold and jade!

This is - the rich demon!
Don't you belong to the secular world and love things that smell like copper?

I'd like to see!

This level...

How are you doing!
If you can pass, even if I teach you all the seals of the five demons that I have passed, so what?

If you are really born with such a Taoist body, you can achieve complete Taoism and protect the world, the human race will be prosperous!

If you can't pass, then I will naturally pull you out of the devil's mouth again!

In this way, the agreement with "you" has been completed.

Li Xiuning, I am sorry for you!
　This day really caused me ups and downs. From yesterday when I was hospitalized, the doctor reported that I was in critical condition, and told me and the child’s mother to prepare for childhood leukemia...to today, many experts consulted, and the child’s condition has improved...Although the condition is not yet clear, but At least according to the doctor's statement, "There is still a distance from leukemia", and I feel more at ease.Ups and downs... really... don't know what to say.I will start 4K today, and I have to go to the hospital early tomorrow morning.Thank you for your comfort.
