The world of Taoism

Chapter 82 Bardo (recommended for collection)

"Dare to ask what kind of realm you are, senior?" Zhou Xuan asked.

The realm is divided into three realms: psychic, induction, and concentration.

Gathering the soul with concentration is equivalent to a qualitative leap.

But what Zhou Xuan can be sure of is that the White Crane God is definitely not concentrating.

His strength is far beyond concentration, and there should be a realm above concentration.

"Me?" Bai Heshen thought for a moment, then smiled.

"I don't know what the specific realm is. The old man's path of cultivation has never been seen by others. If it is divided according to the specific realm, it should belong to the "Yin God""

Above the concentration is the Yin God.

Gather the soul with concentration, and the soul of the yin spirit can come out of the body and wander around at night.

At the stage of concentrating on the yin spirit, there is another realm called "bardo".

This is a very important realm, and it is also the realm that is most likely to become enchanted.

Many masters fall in this realm.

It means that Zhou Xuan knows that Buddhists in the previous life also had such a concept.

The meaning of the bardo is "the front yin has thanked, the back yin has not yet arrived, and the bardo is in front."

The former yin has expired means that the life span of this period has been exhausted, and the hind yin has not arrived means that the reincarnation has not yet occurred.

The explanation in this world should be similar, anyway, it is the process of the person is dead and the soul is free.

It is necessary to know the circumstances under which a person has a soul.

The soul of ordinary people is tightly attached to the body and will not manifest.

Generally after death, the soul of a person will come out.

And it dissipated between heaven and earth within 49 days of Qiqi.

Some souls will be infected by magic energy, or form ghosts by some kind of coincidence.

To concentrate is to condense the soul.

It is a realm where one can further communicate with the heaven and earth, and strengthen one's own spirit and the power to release spells.

That is to say, souls have appeared in this realm.

According to the theory, since the soul is manifested, it means that the person is dead.

But the physical life is not exhausted.

So this person belongs to the state of both life and death.

This state is very mysterious, one thought of life and death.

Call it life, but it doesn't look like life; call it death, but it doesn't look like death.

In the bardo state, the whole person is in a superimposed state of both birth and death.

After a period of time, the soul will be completely lost, the physical body will die, and the body will die with it.

If this state can be sorted out smoothly, and the soul is prevented from being lost and the body dies, then one can enter the next realm, Yinshen.

Yinshen can not only retain the body, but also retain the nature of the soul coming out of the body, achieving a perfect balance between life and death.

"The state of the bardo is very strange. Many cultivations are divided here, and schools are divided from here, instead of climbing along a fixed realm." White Crane God said.

The realm of cultivation is just a general division, not a fixed standard.

Not all cultivators practice in this way.

"Starting from the state of the bardo, some people abandon the physical body and cultivate the soul. Some people choose to fix the soul in the physical body and specialize in the physical body, and the soul does not come out of the body."

"There are still people who choose to become ghosts, gods, or demons; or accept incense and strengthen themselves with the power of the wishes of all peoples."

The White Crane God practiced the first type.

The advantage is to take care of one without having to take care of the physical body.The other is to focus on the physical body and not the soul.

There is also the most common yin god, which balances the body and soul.

After all, the physical body is equivalent to a protective shell, which can effectively isolate the influence of external objects on the inside.

The soul is very fragile, a gust of wind, a ray of light, or even the roar of a wild animal will cause irreparable damage to the soul.

There are actually several schools of cultivation methods like the White Crane God.

One of them is to parasitize one's own soul on something to prevent foreign objects from affecting the soul.

In short, starting from the bardo, there are simply too many schools to count.

It can be said that a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom.

Realm is only used to divide strength, it does not mean that everyone is practicing the same path

If it is necessary to settle down to a higher level, the White Crane God should belong to the Yin God.

"So that's the case." Zhou Xuan nodded, suddenly realizing in his heart.

He didn't inquire about the roots of the White Crane God.

It is a bad behavior to rashly ask about the other party's strength before others take the initiative to say so, and it is likely to cause trouble.

The two chatted for a while, and the White Crane God said to Zhou Xuan: "The world is dangerous now, you must protect yourself. I think you have a good foundation in cultivation, and it may be easier to concentrate."

Concentrate on the inheritance of spells as the foundation, bridges as the connection, and practice with the purpose of communicating with the heavens.

Finally, the soul is condensed, and after that is the bardo.

This stage is very dangerous because the soul has somehow escaped the protective shell.

After asking about the specific details, Zhou Xuan thanked the White Crane God: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

"No, it's just a matter of little effort. I don't want to see such a good seed like you go astray." The White Crane God stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "Do you want to consider learning my inheritance? I can help you forget other spells."

Zhou Xuan thought for a while, and finally declined, "Let's talk about it later, I haven't thought about it yet."

The White Crane God said that he can see the real world with thousands of colors and multiple angles, and everything has a sound.

Regarding this, Zhou Xuan was noncommittal.

Some things are better not to be seen clearly, Zhou Xuan felt that seeing such a picture would probably shatter his three views.

Man is the spirit of all things, and the flesh is the body that escorts him.

Since the physical body couldn't see it before, it must have a deep meaning.

"Senior, can you really see thousands of colors?" Zhou Xuan still couldn't help asking.

The color is nothing more than the combination of the basic background color.

According to theory, there are countless kinds of colors, but they are basically the combination of those few background colors.

Thousands of colors are not surprising, but if there are thousands of primary colors, it would be a little scary.

"There are countless colors in the whole world. In my eyes, there are thousands of basic colors, but human beings can only see three. This shows that human beings have insufficient understanding of the world."

Bai He said mysteriously, Zhou Xuan felt a little fanatical.

Zhou Xuan racked his brains and couldn't figure out what the thousands of basic colors looked like. He couldn't help being curious about the spells of the White Crane God, but he finally held back.

"Then I'll go first!" Zhou Xuan said.

"Go slowly, I'll let the white crane see you off."

Zhou Xuan walked in front of Bai He, and just about to ride on it, Bai He suddenly turned his head, and said in a crisp voice, "What are you doing!"

"..."

The white crane turned out to be He Yingning, so Zhou Xuanshi stepped onto the back of another white crane.

Fly all the way back to Zhou's house.

After the two left, a woman who looked similar to He Yingning and had a more mature temperament suddenly appeared next to the White Crane God.

"Why does Father value this person so much?" The woman was a little puzzled.

It's really strange that my father doesn't care about ordinary things, but he values ​​this mortal so much.

"I don't know. I have never been able to see through this person. His soul is pure and strong, as if he is not affected by the way of heaven. If he keeps it up, he will become a great weapon in the future." Bai Heshen said, "Perhaps Yingning should have a good one over there." future."
