Chapter 210 (2/2)
”It means that people should conform to the way of heaven, and cultivation is against heaven!” Chen Hui explained: ”the punishment for going against the heaven is robbery. Everything is a combination of yin and Yang. If there is a punishment, there will be a reward. If the robbery fails, it will be the biggest punishment. If the robbery succeeds, it will rise day by day. This is the reward. If the immortal is scattered, his body is destroyed, and there is no hope of rising, the reward is a thousand years of life, Because there are only Yuanshen and no body left, Yuanshen will dissipate naturally when it comes to life. Yuanshen is a condensed thing. After it dissipates, it will return to the original state before it was condensed. This original state is recorded as Lingqi in Taoist classics. The old man said that it was true Qi to cultivate. In fact, it's not much different. It means that after the Yuanshen of Sanxian dissipates, It will become aura or true Qi and fill the world again. That is to return the Dharma to the world
”Oh, I see!” Ye Mengchen a face suddenly realized appearance, nodded, said: ”a little from where, back to where meaning?”
”It's understandable.” Chen Hui said with a smile: ”however, I don't believe this, because in the final analysis, Taoism is a kind of religion. The emergence of any religion has a specific historical environment. Religion, as a kind of belief, gives people a spiritual home, which is just useful. We should treat religion with a scientific view and believe in these strange things, Obviously, he has gone astray in superstition. ”
”But the role of religion in history is actually to make people superstitious, isn't it?” Ye Mengchen tilted his head to see Chen Hui and asked.
While they were talking, they were already in front of the house rented by Chen Hui in Liuqu Jiayuan. Chen Hui opened the door and let ye Mengchen in. He said, ”throughout history, Taoism has been from birth to prosperity, from prosperity to decline, Buddhism from birth to prosperity, and from prosperity to decline. Why? Is it not because of the needs of the rulers? When the rulers need Taoism, Taoism will prosper. When the rulers need Buddhism, Buddhism will prosper. If there are gods in Taoism, how can Buddhism prosper? You know, Buddhism is foreign! ”
”Monks from outside can recite scriptures!” Ye Mengchen said with a smile: ”if you don't talk about this, the topic will be far away. What we're talking about is what you know about the cultivation recorded in Taoist classics. You don't believe these things, but these are fairy tales. Can't you refute them?”
”There's no way to refute that.” Chen Hui said with a smile, ”how can I refute myths?”
”Then you should tell me a story.” Ye Mengchen said with a smile.
Chen Hui smiles, goes into the kitchen, cuts an apple for ye Mengchen, goes back to the living room, hands it to ye Mengchen, sits down on the sofa, and says: ”the records of Taoist classics are different from what the old man said. In Taoist classics, the peak of the Taoist period mentioned by the old man should be the pseudo immortal period, because there is no such saying in Taoist classics, It's the fake immortal who will trigger the Tianlei ferry robbery! ”
”Pseudo immortal period?” Ye Mengchen chewed a mouthful of apple, chewed a few mouthfuls, a thoughtful look on his face, said: ”I'm a bit ignorant!”
”It's easy to understand!” Chen Hui spread out his hands and said, ”the fake immortal means it's not a real immortal, but it's no worse than a real immortal, but it hasn't become a real immortal. So it's called a fake immortal!”
”And after the robbery?” Ye Mengchen asked.
”After the robbery, it will be the real immortal, and then the earth immortal, the celestial immortal, the golden immortal, the Taiyi golden immortal, the Daluo golden immortal, and the Hunyuan Daluo golden immortal!” Chen Hui looked at ye Mengchen and said, ”Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is the highest level of existence. It is immortal. You can know the past and the future!”
”Wow, what a cow?” Ye Mengchen said with a smile: ”it seems that the ultimate goal of people in practice is Hunyuan Da Luo Jin Xian?”
”I don't know!” Chen Hui spread out his hands and said, ”anyway, I don't believe it. These are only seen in the classics of Taoist temple!”
Ye Mengchen nodded and said, ”have you ever seen the old man's idea of building foundation and practicing Qi in ancient books?”
