Chapter 88: Practicing Hundred Arts
“Dharma, the method of cultivation.”
“Wealth, resources for cultivation.”
“Companions, fellow practitioners.”
< br>"Earth, the blessed land of cave heaven."
"Food, clothing, housing, transportation, Dharma and wealth, the land, these eight are closely related to mortal monks. As long as you do any of them, you can achieve great merit."
"Take the human race as an example. Among the three ancestors of the human race, the Suiren family became Food, Chao's family is formed by living, and Zhenyi's family is formed by clothing, both have great merits. "
"The Emperor of the Three Emperors created the innate Eight Diagrams, which revealed the mystery of the birth and death of the universe, and was formed in the Dharma. The emperor combed the earth's veins, cultivated grains, tasted hundreds of herbs, and grew from the earth and food one after another. Gong. ”
“Taking the monks as an example, the Taoist ancestors opened up the Immortal Path in Kunlun Mountain to spread the Taoism; the Taoism was created to gather fellow Taoists and gather their destiny.”
"The preaching corresponds to the Dharma, the luck corresponds to the wealth, the fellow Taoist corresponds to the couple, and the Kunlun Mountain corresponds to the land. It can be said that the four essentials of cultivation in the Dharma and wealthy couple are combined into one body. It meets the needs of the monks, and naturally they have immeasurable merit and immeasurable energy. "Luck."
"It is the establishment of religions and preaching by masters and other saints, the birth of the three innate clans, and the establishment of heaven, etc."
"Although they have their own purposes, they are all essentially the same. It meets the needs of the monks and provides them with the four essentials for practice. "
"The creation of currency by the disciples is actually to cater to the lineage of the Dharma and the Immortal. and sorting out the earth's veins are all catering to the earth within it."
Ao Bing talked eloquently and explained his ideas to the leader of Tongtian. In his opinion, it is not difficult to obtain merit and luck. Simply put, it is just a matter of catering to needs.
If you want to gain merit, you need to cater to the needs of heaven and earth. What the heaven and earth need is nothing more than to promote the evolution of prehistoric times and make the heaven and earth more perfect.
If you want to obtain luck, you need to cater to the needs of living beings. What all living beings need is food, clothing, shelter, transportation, law, wealth, and a place to live.
Catering to the needs of heaven and earth and promoting the evolution of heaven and earth is difficult to achieve. But it is much simpler to cater to the needs of living beings, change their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and provide them with a place for their legal and wealthy couples.
As long as you think a lot, many people can do it. It's just that some people have limited abilities and affect fewer living beings, so they get limited luck.
But some people are powerful and can influence most living creatures in the wild, so they enjoy immeasurable luck.
For example, if the Taoist ancestor established the Immortal Way and preached it to all sentient beings, he would directly gather immeasurable luck and immeasurable merit.
“Food, clothing, housing and transportation, law and wealth!”
“That’s a good summary. Isn’t it these eight words that all living beings are running around and struggling to make ends meet?”
“It’s hard for you to see through this. No wonder you can think of so many meritorious deeds. You may not understand the way of heaven as well as my teacher, but you definitely understand the human heart better than my teacher."
"You already know the true meaning of humanity. The achievement is no less than being a teacher.”
After listening to the concepts summarized by Ao Bing, the Tongtian Cult Leader sighed sincerely. He can understand people's needs, and he obviously has a thorough understanding of human nature.
The way of heaven, the way of earth, and the way of humanity are just different powers, but in fact they are not superior or inferior. They can be regarded as the three personalities of the prehistoric will. The way of heaven governs heaven and earth, the way of earth breeds all things, and the way of humanity transforms all spirits.
There is no high or low in the three paths. As long as you reach the end, you can achieve the highest position. This is how the Six Saints reached the extreme of the Way of Heaven. Only then did they become saints and teach the Way of Heaven to transform the ancient world.
The same is true for Houtu Empress, who has reached the extreme of the tunnel, aspires to be the supreme tunnel, and creates all things.
Now, Ao Bing also has such signs. Based on what he has summarized, Tongtian Cult Master feels that as long as he continues to implement it, sooner or later he will be able to touch the edge of the ultimate humanity, become the Holy Emperor of Humanity, and rule all mankind. spirit.
"Master is so ridiculous. If a disciple can have one-tenth of Master's ability in the future, then his life will be worthwhile and he will never dare to compare with Master."
Ao Bing heard the emotion of Master Tongtian. , said very modestly.
“The troublesome merits you mentioned just now are referring to letting Jie Jiao’s disciples go out and establish sects?”
“This is a good idea, let them go out and spread their branches. Can it expand the Taoist tradition of our religion, and also It can promote the immortal way. At the same time, it can also gain the merit of teaching and educating them."
"It is a pity that although I have many disciples, I have few disciples who are qualified to start my own lineage and inherit the Taoism. .”
The leader of Tongtian Cult did not take Ao Bing's humble words seriously, but instead asked him about his plans on how to gain merit for the other Jie Cult disciples.
Based on what Ao Bing said before, from the perspective of Tongtian Cult Master, his method is simply to let Jie Cult disciples go out and establish a sect.
If you want to establish a sect, you need to first choose a treasure land with many resources, and then recruit disciples and pass on the Taoism.
After this set of rules, the disciples who came to be apprentices were provided with the four essentials of Dharma and Wealth Couple practice, which met their needs. In this way, you can gather your luck and further seek enlightenment and merit.
“Of course not!” Ao Bing replied.
It must be said that the ideas of Master Tongtian are in line with the development of the times.
Because after the Conferring God Killing Tribulation is over, almost all the disciples of the saint will choose to go out and establish a sect and pass down the Taoism in order to gather their luck and merit.
However, although what Tongtian Cult Master thinks is a true portrayal of future generations, it is not suitable for the present.
“The luck and merit gained from establishing a power are related to the size of the power established. The stronger the power established, the more merit and luck will be gained.”
“Master Dan Zun Ye also knows that in today's prehistoric times, there are heavens above that govern the three realms, there are kings below who rule the world, and there are saints in the middle who teach all living beings. There is no chance for other forces to develop. "
"At this time, even if the saint's disciples establish a sect, it will be difficult to achieve anything, and they will not get much merit and luck."
Ao Bing analyzed the current situation in the prehistoric times and analyzed the leader of Tongtian.
In later generations, hundreds of flowers bloomed in the wilderness, and both humans and ghosts were able to establish sects. That was because the saints were banned by the Tao ancestors, the human dynasty was reduced to a mortal dynasty, and the Jade Emperor was reduced to a decoration.
The top floor of the ancient world is completely gone, and the demons are naturally dancing below. You can do whatever is beneficial to you.
But as I said, that was for future generations, and there is no such condition now. The saint has not been banned by Taozu, the human king is still ruling the world, and the Jade Emperor is not a decoration.
To establish a sect at this time, you need to be supervised by three parties at the same time, and how to develop it.
So, Ao Bing did not agree with the idea of leader Tongtian to let the disciples of Jiejiao start a sect at this time. He had a better idea.
“You are right, the current situation is indeed not suitable for Jie Jiao’s disciples to go out and spread their wings. Originally, Jie Jiao, myself, was feared by all forces due to our great power, and became the target of public criticism. ”
“If we let the disciples go out to plant branches again, If Sanye further expands the influence of Jie Jiao, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of other forces. At that time, if it is not done well, Jie Jiao will become a public enemy."
Tongtian Cult Leader nodded. He thought Ao Bing was right, and then gestured to him to tell him his own solution. He wanted to know what kind of surprise Ao Bing would bring him this time. "Form an Immortal Alliance and study and practice various arts!"
Ao Bing did not show off and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Form an Immortal Alliance? Practice a hundred arts?"
Hearing this answer, the leader of Tongtian was stunned for a moment, and then said thoughtfully:
"Immortal It is not difficult to guess that it means an alliance, but this is the first time I have heard of the idea of cultivating a hundred arts.”
Knowing what Master Tongtian was curious about, Ao Bing replied: "Cultivation of Baiyi is the general term for disciples to assist in their practice."
"Including but not limited to alchemy, weapon refining, formation formation, and talisman making , planting, breeding, mining, medicinal diet, animal taming, spiritual nourishment, pulse detection, treasure appraisal, wine making, silkworm raising, astrological divination..."
"It can be said that any such skills that can assist spiritual practice, They are all included in the practice of various arts by their disciples. "
Skills are just means, not the dharma, and cannot make people achieve enlightenment, so they are not taken seriously by the mainstream. But this does not mean that it is not important. On the contrary, practicing various arts is very important.
Their existence can greatly promote the development of spiritual civilization. You must know that the position of practicing the various arts is to assist the practice, and is intended to make up for the shortcomings of the monks.
What should we do if there are monks whose talents are dull and difficult to break through? Naturally, it would be to refine a top-grade elixir to help him achieve a breakthrough; or to help him cut off his tendons and cleanse his marrow, and be reborn.
What if there are monks who are not strong enough to fight? You can refine a powerful magic weapon to keep you close; you can also draw several powerful talismans to enhance your own killing methods.
This is the meaning of the existence of practicing a hundred arts, to meet the needs of monks and make up for the shortcomings of their means.
With the vigorous development of the various arts of cultivation, most monks can concentrate on their cultivation without having to worry about other things.
Insufficient means of killing and insufficient means of protection? That's nothing. You don't need to distract yourself from cultivating magical powers. You only need to buy magic weapons and talismans.
The aura of the cave is not enough? It's also very simple. You don't need to change the cave, just buy a more powerful spirit gathering array. Or ask someone to help reshape the spiritual veins, modify Feng Shui, etc.
In short, after practicing various arts and developing them to a certain extent, monks in the world will find that there are always more ways than difficulties.
As long as you look for it with your heart, most of the troubles you encounter can be solved by practicing various arts.
All problems outside of practice can be solved by practicing various arts. Even ways to speed up your practice can be found in the various arts of practice.
The emergence of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation not only allows monks to practice without distraction, but also makes practice easier. In this way, can cultivation civilization not progress? It will surely enter a period of rapid development!
"The practice of various arts sounds like many types, but in fact, it still revolves around food, clothing, housing, transportation, Dharma, wealth, and marriage." Dharma! It is true that some of them have already appeared, but it doesn’t matter.”
“The purpose of forming the Immortal Alliance is to organize people to study those skills that have not been studied yet. The various cultivation skills that have emerged need to be further studied to make them more perfect.”
“This is to create new methods. As long as you do what I said and pass them on, you can greatly promote them. The development of cultivation civilization. "
"And those monks who participated in the creation of various cultivation arts will also be regarded as ancestors by future generations and worshiped day and night."
"In this way, won't you get merit and luck?"
"And this is just the beginning. As the various skills of practice appear one by one, it will gradually penetrate into all aspects."
“For example, raising silkworms is related to clothing. Silk can be used to make clothes. The stronger the silk, the stronger the clothes made.”
>
“The purpose of raising silkworms is to cultivate more high-quality silkworms so that they can spit out more silk, so as to mass-produce robes with strong defensive capabilities.”
“Food is the most important thing for people. The better you eat, the faster your strength will increase. Skills such as alchemy, spiritual food, and spiritual wine brewing are related to this. ”
"The skills of breeding spiritual beasts and planting elixirs are derived from this."
"Skills such as formation formation and Feng Shui are related to living, and the purpose is to improve the living environment."
Since the practice of various arts can promote the development of civilization, it naturally involves all aspects, including law, wealth, couples, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and everything that mortals think about.
Because there are so many things involved, even Ao Bing cannot explain all the benefits in a while. Therefore, he chose some of the more important ones to talk about.
And he was only halfway through when the leader of Tongtian already understood what he meant and interrupted: "It is indeed wonderful to study and practice various arts, and it is even better to form an immortal alliance."
"After cultivating hundreds of arts, are you still worried about running out of money? There are so many ways to make money, and you can easily solve the financial problem."
"The earth is even simpler. Practicing hundreds of arts involves improving the earth's veins There are also many spiritual vein skills. If they are combined together, it is comparable to the earthly immortal method. Even a barren land can be transformed into a blessed land."
"As for the couple, this is even better. Well, the most important role of the Immortal Alliance is reflected here, to gather as many comrades as possible."
"Of course, these are not enough to shock the teacher. What really shocks the teacher. The consequences of doing these two things at the same time.”
At this point, Master Tongtian, who was already used to being shocked, could not help but be amazed by Ao Bing’s wisdom.
Studying and practicing various arts and forming an immortal alliance, if these two things are done separately, it is very likely that neither will succeed. But if we work together, we can not only succeed, but also bring great benefits.
The Immortal Alliance, the Immortal Alliance, all its members are members of the Immortal Path, or in other words, members of the Xuanmen. If there are only a few members of the Immortal Alliance, it will naturally have no impact.
But if the members of the Immortal Alliance are all elites of Xuanmen, the impact will be great.
Not to mention anything else, as long as he gets the support of these Xuanmen elites and becomes the leader of the Immortal Alliance, then he will be the future Supreme Immortal, an Immortal Emperor and an Immortal Emperor-like figure.
This is Ao Bing’s purpose of forming the Immortal Alliance, to pave the way for becoming the Supreme Immortal in the future.
He is responsible for reshaping the starry sky. If he gets the support of a group of immortal elites, then it will be almost certain that he will become the supreme immortal, and no one can stop him.
As for the Supreme Immortal, he is not as good as the Emperor of Heaven in terms of status, but in terms of actual power, he is not weak at all. After all, the immortality has the final say in the prehistoric period, and the Immortal Emperor is the supreme one!
......
Of course, it is easy to form an immortal alliance, but it is difficult to invite Xuanmen elites. Why would they join a newly formed force for no reason?
Tired to death, and then got stuck.
I will be busy tomorrow.
The update at noon tomorrow will probably be updated in the evening.
