Three months later.
In the endless desert, a man in black walked slowly forward in the void.
Every time he took a step, his figure disappeared from the spot and appeared a hundred thousand miles away.
This man in black is Guo Huai. After three months of hard training, he has completely refined all the essence in the Sudora tree.
This Sudora tree probably won't have tens of thousands of years to bloom and bear fruit again.
Guo Huai also successfully broke through to the viscera refining realm. His current strength is equivalent to that of the early stage of integration. He is among the top monks in the entire Eastern Region Immortal Cultivation World and even in the entire Yunlan Immortal Cultivation Plane.
This is the level that stands at the top of the food chain of hundreds of millions of monks. Although there are Mahayana and Tribulation stages above the integration stage, it is said that among the top thirteen sects in the Eastern Immortal Cultivation World, there are only a few Mahayana practitioners. period monk.
As for the monks in the tribulation period, after successfully transcending the tribulation, they can only stay in the immortal world for a thousand years. After a thousand years, they will be transported to the immortal world by the plane law.
Therefore, the Tribulation Monk is basically a legend, and no one has seen it for many years.
Although the endless desert is vast, this distance is nothing to the current Guo Huai. In just half a day, he reached the sphere of influence of Lingmen Temple.
To the north of Lingmen Temple is the ice and snow wasteland covering billions of miles, to the east is the Haotian Sect, to the south is Zhaoyang Mountain, and to the west is the endless desert.
The terrain here is northerly and the temperature is relatively cold. It is only October and there is already snow all over the sky. Everyone on the ground has already put on thick cotton clothes.
In Prajna City under the mountain gate of Lingmen Temple, Guo Huai was sitting on the second floor of a restaurant near the window, tasting Lingmen Temple's specialty drink---Helile fruit wine.
This wine is spicy and refreshing, with a special fruity aroma, which really has a unique flavor.
"Dong dong dong~~~"
The Buddhist bell of Lingmen Temple on the mountain in the distance rang one after another. The bells were melodious and loud and resounded through the sky. There was also a special charm in the bells, which seemed to make people forget their worries and calm their minds.
Half an hour later, solemn chanting came from the mountain temple.
"When you hear the sound of the bell, your worries will be relieved, your wisdom will grow, and your Bodhi will increase. You will leave hell and emerge from the pit of fire. I wish to become a Buddha and save all living beings."
"I have heard that at one time, the Buddha was in the Solitary Garden of Solitary Trees in the Kingdom of Savatthi with a group of 1,250 great bhikkhus. At that time, the World Honored One was wearing robes and holding an alms bowl while he was eating..."
The people in Prajna City, whether they were mortals or cultivators, knelt on the ground, clasped their hands, faced the Lingmen Temple in the north, and chanted the Buddha's name with sincerity on their faces.
In the restaurant where Guo Huai was, there were many monks from other sects, still drinking and eating meat on their own, and no one came to stop them.
Perhaps this was only binding on religious local residents and monks.
Guo Huai listened to the scriptures quietly. It told the story of Buddha's preaching and saving people, and also talked about how to cultivate the mind and reveal the true nature of all things in the world.
When Guo Huai heard that "the mind should have no place to live," his heart skipped a beat, and his inner state suddenly emerged, as if he had been enlightened.
From his past life to this life, all the bits and pieces, grudges, resentments, parents, relatives, friends, enemies, enemies he killed intentionally or unintentionally, and even innocent people, all appeared in his mind like a scroll of pictures.
Guo Huai has the best heavenly spiritual root, and his spiritual talent is more than eight feet tall. He is a peerless genius rarely seen in the world.
Therefore, he has made rapid progress over the years, coupled with good luck and opportunities, allowing him to go all the way. The monks who practiced at the same time as him can no longer even see his back.
The rapid progress in cultivation also left him with too little mental training. Sometimes his cultivation improved too quickly, which made Guo Huai himself feel scared.
His state of mind was not mature enough in the previous song, and he knew this very well. His vision for spiritual practice sometimes wavered, and he sometimes fell into confusion.
For the sake of cultivation, he abandoned his family and fought desperately for the treasures and opportunities. What did he do in the end?
To live forever and become an immortal?
Without relatives, lovers, and friends, what is the point of living in this cold world?
When he heard this sentence: "There should be no place to live but the mind should be born", he suddenly understood in his heart.
Sentences of insights naturally flowed out from his mouth, such as "naturally observing quietly", "contemplating without observing", "doing nothing", "returning to the root is tranquility, tranquility is restoration of life", "quietness is the righteousness of the world", "always should be always quiet, always be calm". Being quiet is called attaining the Tao, but in reality it is nothing.”
When Guo Huai realized: "When people can always be quiet, everything in heaven and earth will return", his realm suddenly rose, and he entered an extremely clear state. All things in the world, every plant and tree, flowers, birds, fish and insects, birth, old age, illness and death, all... , live, bad, empty.
Immortality, bathing, crown, official position, emperor prosperity, decline, illness, death, tomb, death, fetus, nourishment.
Various laws emerged in Guo Huai's mind one by one.
The spiritual energy in his body was running wildly, and his momentum continued to rise. The wind and clouds in the sky continued to change with Guo Huai's insights, and an invisible realm spread.
An old monk in Lingmen Temple suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of light passed through the clouds and looked towards the restaurant in Prajna City. He saw a young man in black, with spiritual power flowing around his body, endlessly.
The peaceful aura on his body was like a breeze blowing on his face, causing the heaven and earth to vibrate slightly.
"Buzz!"
It was as if a membrane in Guo Huai's body had been pierced. His soul rapidly changed, grew and matured, and his body exuded a dazzling golden light, soaring into the sky.
The wind and clouds in the sky turned into auspicious clouds, surrounding his soul. Guo Huai's body rushed out of the window and flew into the sky, becoming one with the shining golden soul.
The monk in the integration stage is ready!
Guo Huai was suspended in the void, slowly opened his eyes, and saw a kind-hearted old monk not far away looking at him.
"Congratulations to my fellow Taoist for breaking through to the integration stage. It's really gratifying!"
The old monk clasped his hands together and congratulated Guo Huai.
"Thanks to listening to your temple's scriptures, I was enlightened and had a clear understanding in my heart!"
Guo Huai was able to have an epiphany so quickly and improve his cultivation from the early stage of transformation to the early stage of integration, all thanks to his insights after hearing the scriptures.
The old monk's heart moved, and he asked with earnest eyes: "What have you realized?"
"There should be no place to live but the heart to live in."
Guo Huai said calmly.
The old monk asked: "What's the explanation?"
"Being separated from phase is called phase; being separated from emptiness is called emptiness. Body and function are not dual!"
The old monk looked happy and asked again: "Explain it again?"
Guo Huai looked far and wide into the endless void, and said slowly: "All dharmas are inseparable from their own nature."
Then he said, "What is the self-nature? What is the self-nature? It is inherently pure. What is its self-nature? It is not born or destroyed. What is its self-nature? It is self-sufficient. How is its self-nature? It is unshakable and can give birth to all things."
The old monk clasped his hands together and said the Buddha's name, "My Taoist friend, you have a clear mind and a clear nature!"
Guo Huai waved his hand and said modestly: 'I have a verse in my heart right now, which I would like to give to Master! ’
"Fellow Taoist, please speak! The old monk is all ears!"
"I have a pearl
Blocked by Chenlao for a long time
This morning, Mitsuo Yojin
It illuminates thousands of mountains and rivers. "
When the old monk heard the verse uttered by Guo Huai, he was stunned for a moment as if he had been given a slap in the face.
