The cycle of life and death, from ancient times to the present, has always been a mysterious and unpredictable way. There are countless people who have tried this way, but only a few have succeeded.
In the eyes of those with great supernatural powers in ancient times, they all had a dignity that was worthy of immortality for all eternity. They devoted all their creations to the next life. They became dragons and phoenixes in this life, and burning everything was the final result. It’s not as expected, and there are no regrets.
This idea was very popular in ancient times, because those with great supernatural powers born in ancient times were mostly those who had the deepest and most profound blessings from heaven and earth. They knew that if they failed in this life, they would leave it to the next life. In this life, the qualifications and talents will never be comparable to this life, let alone achieve anything.
Among them, the great sage Wukong made a cry that he would only cultivate for one life, regardless of the past and the future. He would not hesitate to face the powerful force of heaven in the previous version, but he would also give everything he had in that life.
It is the Witch Clan that implements these ideas most thoroughly.
The Wu Clan, the first batch of creatures born from heaven and earth, has no past and does not cultivate the afterlife. They just want to be the overlord for a lifetime. To do this, they are willing to risk everything in the clan and go head-to-head with all other ethnic groups except the Wu Clan at that time. With the power of one clan, all clans were silenced.
In the end, due to the rise of the Emperor of Heaven, he united all races to resist the Wu Clan, and the scattered races were twisted into a rope. From the situation of being manipulated at will by the Wu Clan, step by step, they began to follow the path of the Witch Clan. The clans fought against each other, and eventually the Wu clan faced the fate of being completely wiped out in one battle.
The Wu clan’s all-out effort to not cultivate the afterlife only became a stepping stone for the Emperor of Heaven to be invincible in this world and achieve the supreme status of Heaven.
To be fair, the Witch Clan who do not cultivate the afterlife will completely disappear from the heavens and the world after this battle, and will never have the possibility to step onto the stage of heaven and earth again.
What is unreasonable is that among the Wu Clan, there are some oddballs like Zu Wu Houtu, who do not cultivate the afterlife, but have been worried about the future of the Wu Clan, because the Wu Clan only cares about the future. Refining the body has made no achievements in the practice of various arts. At the beginning of the birth of the world, the Wu tribe lived in trees while growing hair and drinking blood. As time went by, other tribes began to live in spiritual houses, refining furnaces and elixirs to improve the quality of raw materials. At this level, the weapon refining and talisman painting uses the power of the magic weapon and talisman paper to make up for the lack of one's own combat power, while the witch clan still only knows how to wield swords and guns, and fight bravely and ruthlessly.
By the time the Lich War reaches its climax, the Heavenly Emperor has led tens of thousands of men and horses to refine many star puppet ships in the sky. The demon saints all have acquired and even innate spiritual treasures, magical weapons and battle armor, and spiritual beasts to mount. , countless.
So, how can the Wu clan remain undefeated?
On that day, on Mount Buzhou, thousands of giant starships came to form the Zhoutian Starry Formation. Countless people with supernatural powers waved the formation flags and performed the Hunyuan Heluo Skills. Those weak races that were far from being the unified generals of their witch clan used the power of formations, magic weapons, talismans and other various cultivation creations to control their witch clan until they died.
The ancestral witch Houtu regretted it so much that he only lamented that there was no medicine in the world that he regretted taking.
At this time, he gained the favor of the samsara pattern, and knew that if he established the underworld with this pattern and became the talker of one of the three paths of heaven, earth and man, he might be able to use the power of the lord of the underworld. Authority gives the Wu clan another chance to live another life and prove themselves.
As a result, the ancestral witch Hou Tuhe joined forces with a group of ancient great powers, dealt with many forces, and finally created the ancient underworld, establishing the ancient pattern of coexistence of the three realms of heaven, earth, and man.
And just as she wished, after establishing the Dozens of Yuanhui in the ancient underworld, Tu Niangniang established the underworld in the years to take in the dead souls of the world and sort out the immeasurable merits gained from the six paths of reincarnation. She used the power of reincarnation to Each witch clan was given a chance to live another life.
After these Wu tribes came back to life, in order to make up for the Wu tribe's inherent pride and complacency and lack of creativity, Queen Houtu vigorously promoted the intermarriage between the Wu tribe and the human race within the Wu tribe, so as to give birth to witch people. tribe.
The shaman inherits the physical fitness of the witch clan and possesses the power of the soul. He can advance both physically and spiritually at the same time.
And because of the integration of human genes, he has the smoothness and intelligence of the human race. He will not easily get into trouble like the witch clan. He knows how to adapt and has the talent to practice various arts.
The most important thing is that although the reproduction ability of the witches is not as good as that of the human race, and they can give birth to children in ten months of pregnancy, it is still better than the reproduction ability of the witches, which takes more than 100,000 years to give birth to a new child. Giving birth to a son, and a witch generally has a lifespan of thousands of years, which means that as long as they are willing, a witch can give birth to more than ten children, so reproduction and expansion is not a problem at all.
In this way, if it continues to develop, given time, the witch tribe, which combines the genes of the witch tribe and the human race, may really be able to make up for the regrets of the witch tribe in the previous life, and become the overlord of all races in this life.
This is one of the meanings of reincarnation, which is to make up for the regrets of the previous life, sum up experiences and lessons in the next life, and reach new heights.
It doesn't matter if you fail once, every reincarnation is the next opportunity.
The fate of a group is like this, and so is the process of a living being pursuing its path.
It is important to burn through the merits of one life and work hard until there is nothing you can do, but you have to look at the right time and accumulate enough to make it happen. If the time is not right in this life and the merits are not fulfilled, then you can wait for the next life and the next life, as long as you know the truth If your heart does not fall, you can solve the mystery in the womb. If you reincarnate for thousands of lives, you can always find opportunities.
Patience, persistence, and perseverance are the core concepts of pursuing the path upward through the method of reincarnation.
The road is vast. If you make a wrong step on the path of cultivation, your achievements in this life may be lost. Except for a limited number of people who are cut off by chance, they can take every step correctly. Or even if you make a mistake, you can quickly correct it, and in one lifetime of practice, you can climb to the extreme point of the Tao that a living being can theoretically practice, that is, the position of the Tao ancestor who will be immortal for all eternity.
The rest of the sentient beings can only use life-long practice as a step up the road in reincarnation after reincarnation. As long as they do not lose themselves in the process and make progress in each life. , there will always be a time when you will get what you want.
This is the pie that Houtu Empress painted for a group of gods, fairies, and monsters in ancient times, so that they could willingly enter reincarnation. Although, this pie did not exist until the collapse of the ancient underworld. , no one has ever eaten it, because there are almost no monks who can not lose themselves in reincarnations.
In this life, you may be able to withstand the temptation of having a beautiful maid in a mansion and live in peace for the rest of your life, becoming the hardest-working member of the second generation of rich people, starting your own business and losing all your wealth, and working hard until your father has nothing. In the next life, when you are lucky enough to be reincarnated into the body of a rich man and a second generation, and you wake up to the mystery in your womb, and learn about what happened to you in your previous life, will you still be frightened by the results of your hard work in your previous life, and choose another career path? Spending a lot of time and drinking is the way to a lifetime of wealth?
Even in this life, you still haven’t lost your enterprising spirit, and you still have to work hard to start a business with the wealth you inherited. You even succeeded in starting a business by luck, bringing your family to a higher level and making you more determined. As long as the Tao mind is not lost, you can always move forward with the Tao mind.
But in the next life, you will be reincarnated, but you will become the holy body of a born cow and horse whose ancestors were born in poverty for eighteen generations, and you have devoted all your efforts. , they were all exploited by others. They worked hard to the point of being unable to do anything, and could only barely survive.
At this time, I awakened to the mystery in my womb and realized that what I thought I had gained from my hard work in my previous life was just because I was born to stand on a high platform. I was originally on the Qingyun Ladder, and I was able to reach out and pick up the stars, but now in this world Even for the job of holding a ladder, you have to compete with countless oxen and horses. Only after you surpass others in intelligence, physical strength, and obedience can you be lucky enough to be one of the thousands of oxen and horses holding the ladder, sending others to the top of the Nine Heavens. bright moon.
At this time, you remember that in a certain life, you seemed to be one of the heavenly generals in heaven. That was the most satisfying time among your countless reincarnations. You were in the ninth heaven, and you were worshiped by the mortals in the lower world. You felt better. Then, in response to the prayers of mortals, he displayed his divine power and cast magic, using his golden armor and divine spear to kill the great demon. In the eyes of countless mortals who were grateful, admiring and admiring, he returned to heaven with satisfaction.
When you get to the heaven, you heard that a big demon came from the Nantian Gate to the Lingxiao Palace. You were so angry that you thought that the heaven would be finished without you. Why did you come down to earth to guard the Nantian Gate? Was he destroyed by the big demon? But I was secretly happy, thinking that this time I went to the lower world to do private work, I also proved my worth, and let the heavenly officials above know that you, a brave and capable heavenly general, are valuable to the heavenly court. Promotion and salary increase Or on the way, or even that peach feast that was unimaginable in the past, you may also be one of the guests on the high platform in the future.
With longing for a better future, you can’t wait to fight with your companions in front of the big monster that breaks into the heaven.
Only the result is not at all what you expected. As you expected, you have been practicing martial arts and combat skills for thousands of years, day and night, regardless of the cold or heat. Extremely solid, and that big demon, according to his companions, has only been practicing Taoism for more than ten years, how can he compare with me.
After fighting the big demon, you found in despair that you could not stop the huge force within it with just a mediocre stick. The Taoist magical powers that he displayed casually were all sent to his worship master, seeking guidance from powerful and famous teachers, but he has never learned even a scratch of the wonderful true skills.
Only then do you understand that hard work is nothing compared to true talent. One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and countless years of practice are no match for the extraordinary talent that this monkey head was born with. Its more than ten years of practice are yours. After practicing for hundreds of thousands of years, it is impossible to reach the dream destination.
When you reflect on the present world again, you realize that there is no difference between you as a heavenly general back then and you as an ox and horse now. You are both just holding up the ladder for those who are born to be at high places.
Glorious prospects, a dazzling future, a graceful path, and supreme immortality are all those that can only be enjoyed by those beings born in high positions.
In this way, you begin to doubt whether your efforts are meaningful, and your Taoist heart begins to waver.
But this time you have not been completely lost. There will be another life, and the next life, and there will always be a life when your Taoist heart will be completely lost. From then on, you will be reincarnated countless times. There is no possibility of reaching that most glorious life, let alone reaching new heights.
This is what happened to many practitioners in ancient times. In fact, being able to be reincarnated as a human being is considered good, but being reincarnated as an animal or insect is even more torturous and tests the Taoist heart.
Even if no one eats the pie painted by Empress Hou Tu until the underworld collapses, no practitioners in ancient times or today feel that Hou Tu is deceiving them, and they have no idea about reincarnation. resist.
The reason is that reincarnation gives them hope and gives them the hope of coming back in the next life if they fail in this life.
And all of this is because Su Qing smashed the five samsara treasures one after another, endured the puppet immortal's rejection of the samsara patterns, and forcibly imprinted some of the samsara patterns contained in the five samsara treasures on After death, the spiritual consciousness gained insights from these tattoos on the path of reincarnation.
We can see Empress Houtu’s original intention when she created the underworld. We can see that the ancient underworld was established. After the six paths of reincarnation were initially determined, the gods and gods went from resistance to acceptance. We also saw that each one was unwilling to lose his life. The monks who entrusted their path to reincarnation were confused and struggling in reincarnation again and again.
In the process, he even saw his past life.
He saw the bustling lights, the high-rise buildings, and the small storefronts in the nooks and crannies that were specially selected to be unnoticed to avoid embarrassment to customers.
The adult shop owner was his previous life. He had already died before traveling through time. He worked hard for most of his life, staying up day and night to select the latest dolls for customers to put on the shelves. In the end, he failed to save the money for his wife. The young shop owner, who had accumulated good deeds in this life and comforted countless people with his dolls, was able to be reborn in the world of cultivation in another life and become a monk with the hope of immortality.
I have seen the embarrassment of an adult shop owner, and looking forward, I saw that in my previous life, I was a soldier running in the hail of bullets. In the era of warlords, I didn’t know who I was fighting for, just to have a full meal. Today Help this boss fight that boss, and tomorrow help that boss fight yesterday's boss. It doesn't matter who wins or loses. As long as you have enough to eat and survive for a day, you will be lucky.
Looking again, there are scholars wearing green shirts who have failed in exams many times, and farmers who have been in the fields tending crops in the wind and sun, but due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, they have never achieved satisfactory harvests. Among the people, there are strong primitive people who almost hunted the strongest prey in primitive tribes and won the right to choose a mate. In the early days of ancient times, they were able to learn the immortal method and almost embarked on the path to immortality, but because of their vulgar behavior, they got into trouble. I was rejected by immortals, and I missed the fate of immortals again...
Having seen this in every life, it seems that he worked hard in every life, but in the end he was depressed and unable to achieve what he wanted.
It’s okay to be unlucky for one life. If you are unlucky for the rest of your life, can you become the unluckiest person in the world?
"So whether it is extremely peaceful or not, the merits accumulated in so many lives should be blessed by God's help if everything goes smoothly in my life!"
Su Qing, from the perspective of a bystander, felt in her heart After looking at his past life without any disturbance, he muttered softly, and then looked at his future.
The future is dark! (End of chapter)
