Chapter 215: Distorting classics and taking quotes out of context
"Senior brother, senior brother, can you also give me an insect egg so that I can also form a soul bond with you."
After sharing my own After practicing the method of insect cultivation, Li Siping was immediately entangled by a group of disciples.
They all expressed their desire to make a soul-death relationship with Li Siping.
But Li Siping naturally declined everyone helplessly.
Although the bonded soul is the fastest and strongest shortcut to restore strength.
But Li Siping only has three souls and seven souls in total, except for the fact that the three souls cannot move arbitrarily while in the body.
Only seven souls at most can be used to bond souls with others.
Moreover, you need to be very careful when it comes to soul bonding. It is equivalent to tying the other party to the same chariot as yourself, sharing the honor and disgrace, the blessings and misfortunes.
The relationship is closer than that between couples in the mortal world and Taoist couples in the spiritual world.
How could it be easily handed over to a group of unfamiliar ordinary disciples.
So Li Siping had no choice but to let these disciples start rebuilding honestly.
With one's own original foundation, practicing the insect cultivation method again will get twice the result with half the effort and advance quickly.
But no matter what, Li Siping fulfilled Xu Ke's instructions from another angle.
At this time, there is no possibility for Baixianshan to unite with the Yinsi.
The remaining half of the disciples, along with many treasures and resources in the entire Baixian Mountain, are also controlled by two senior sisters, Qingzhu and Feng Caier.
However, although the temperament of the two people became a little gloomy as they transformed into monsters, their personalities remained unchanged.
The two people actually don't care about the so-called position of suzerain.
On the contrary, I pursue reality more, practice hard, and study how to make further progress.
Originally, both of them were at the peak of the Five Realms.
After transforming into worms, the strength of the two of them has reached the middle level of the Six Realms.
With the combined efforts, even the peak of the Six Realms cannot be cured by the two of them.
The task of taking care of the entire sect's secular affairs fell on Li Siping.
Li Siping had no choice but to report the matter at Baixianshan to Xu Ke immediately.
After learning this, Xu Ke roughly understood the current situation of the world’s spiritual practice.
After the inheritance of demon cultivation in Baixian Mountain is cut off, at least he can still exert 20 to 30% of his strength with his demon body.
A centipede is dead but not stiff, and a dead camel is bigger than a horse.
But those more orthodox practicing sects, such as some temples and Taoist temples, have extremely high racial requirements for practitioners.
Almost all of them are purebred humans, and they have to work hard to practice.
The top experts are almost all around a hundred years old. Not only are they at a high level, but their various experiences related to cultivation are also a living treasure trove.
But with the current interruption of the inheritance, a large number of practitioners have lost their practice methods, and almost all of them have become no different from ordinary people.
In particular, the lost inheritance is not only the practice method, but also includes many books that can affect the mind and character.
As a result, those practitioners who relied most on cultivating their minds to stabilize their realm immediately went crazy and were either dead or miserable.
In addition, Xu Ke also saw a large number of real ‘heresies’ appearing on the market.
With the decline of orthodox inheritance, some heresies that were originally suppressed by the three religions and nine streams appeared out of nowhere.
Either by forging scriptures, or by misinterpreting the original meaning of scriptures and taking them out of context.
Rapidly spread his own heretical teachings, confusing a large number of ordinary mortals who were in a state of confusion.
Like the Anle Sect, which is known as:
"At the end of my Dharma, hundreds of millions of sentient beings started to practice Taoism, but not a single person has achieved it. In today's end of Dharma, in this evil world of five turbidities, only A door to the Pure Land can lead to it. "
The general meaning is that the end of the Dharma has come, and all methods can no longer survive the sea of suffering, and only their Pure Land method can be practiced.
Only by chanting the Buddha's name repeatedly every day can we seek transcendence in the Pure Land. But according to Xu Ke's understanding of Buddhist scriptures, this sentence is the most heretical thought that distorts Buddhist thought.
Xu Ke is not affected by natural disasters, so he naturally remembers what is said in the Buddhist scriptures: "If you see me with my form and seek me with my voice, you will follow the wrong path and will not be able to see the Tathagata."
There is no Buddha in the world, and the Buddha is not an immortal with magical powers.
Reciting the name of the Buddha every day is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree, and it is the most taboo form of praying to the Buddha outside the heart.
What Buddhism emphasizes is that this mind is the Buddha.
If you seek the Buddha with your heart, it is equivalent to "making the Buddha seek the Buddha."
Let the Buddha search for the Buddha and never see the Buddha; make the mind search for the mind and never realize the mind.
But compared with other practices that require hard thinking and sudden enlightenment in order to achieve success, the temptation to simply squat at home and recite the name of the Buddha to achieve instant detachment is too great.
So it is inevitable that many people who are eager for quick success and instant benefits will rush to join the Anle Sect in search of the so-called great peace and happiness.
In addition to distorting Buddhist classics, Confucian classics cannot escape the consequences of being distorted and tampered with.
A crazy Confucian ran naked onto the street, calling himself the saint who established the emperor, and spread a copy of "The Analects of Heresy".
The above are some extreme words and deeds taken from traditional ethics, coupled with their malicious misinterpretation.
The whole article talks about the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, but it guides people to become slaves.
It makes people gradually become rigid and timid.
In Xu Ke's view, the content of this heretical Analects is rather like the ethics that have been added, modified and filled in by countless generations of Confucian scholars in previous lives.
It is no longer the true Confucian way of doing things, but seems to be a means of taming stupid people.
Since Buddhism and Confucianism have been misinterpreted among the three religions, Taoism in the end cannot escape this fate.
A sloppy and dirty old Taoist travels all over the world, appearing in more than twenty cities in one day.
To spread your own method of becoming an immortal, take the elixir first.
An elixir of youth, eternal youth and immortality.
If you take the elixir again, you will be immortal and live as long as heaven and earth.
Then there is the ascension medicine. After taking it, the clouds will rise and you will be transcended.
The last one is the immortal medicine. After taking it, you can become an immortal or a god, with vast supernatural powers and boundless magic power.
Such monstrous talk is naturally wanted by the local authorities.
All the demon elixirs distributed by him must be confiscated and destroyed.
But his magic was too weird, or he would turn into a white crane and fly away.
Or blend into the flock, and also transform into a sheep to hide from the enemy.
Not only could the government fail to catch him, but they also allowed him to demonstrate his magical powers.
Many people really believed that he was an immortal with magical powers.
But when everyone begged him for the elixir, they could use it to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.
At first, he almost gave it away for free. When he met someone, he would say that the other person was destined to be immortal, and then he would hand over the 'elixir' to the other person.
After the other party took it with hesitation, he suddenly felt refreshed and his ears and eyes were clear.
My whole body seemed to have endless strength, and a strong sense of pleasure and comfort came over me.
It made them feel as if they were enjoying the highest happiness in the world and were extremely happy.
In the eyes of others, their complexions are indeed much better. Although they may not be called ageless, they are definitely more than ten years younger, and they have really become younger.
Such a magical scene made the people no longer hesitate and rush to get the elixir.
Even if you can't become a god, you can't live forever. If you can live for more than ten years and stay young forever, that would be the best thing.
