Man in the heavens, wins by lying down to prove the truth

Chapter 319: The Wood Mother's Appearance is Taisu, the Buddha from the East Enlightens the Zen

Subdue the monkey in the heart, subdue the golden prince, and tether the horse of will. Now you have mastered three of the five spirits, which means that your heart of Tao is initially formed.

When the heart of Tao is initially formed, one will not be afraid of the two gods of consciousness and desire that will block one’s original heart and confuse one’s spiritual nature, causing one to have wisdom but be unable to use it.

With three gods protecting the original mind, there will be no more confusion blocking the path. Thousands of mysteries will illuminate the heart and dispel all doubts. The method of the golden elixir path only needs a little deduction and then it will be fully understood.

"Mother Wood, the eight thoughts of a person who is lazy, cunning, lustful, and greedy are like pigs. They bully the weak and fear the strong. They can be subdued by a beating."

Zhou Cheng's mind moved, and his spirit entered the liver and gallbladder, illuminating the boundless pure land.

However, this boundless pure land is indeed in chaos, with jackals, tigers and leopards running rampant, and evil spirits and monsters running around, all of which are the product of Zhou Chengxin's appearance.

In the center of the Pure Land, there is a pavilion, and a figure is seen lying on it in the shape of a big character, soundly sleeping.

As soon as Zhou Cheng's soul emerged, the sleeping Mu Mu was startled. When she saw Zhou Cheng coming, she ignored him and turned around to continue sleeping.

"You evil beast, why don't you turn back to the right path and help me cultivate a perfect heart of Taoism?" Zhou Cheng shouted at him.

Mu Mu was disdainful and transformed into a pig: "How can you have a perfect heart of Tao? What good is that?"

"I am already free now, why would I ask for the golden elixir?"

Zhou Cheng reprimanded him, "You know that only when your mind is flawless can you be free from worries. Without worries, there will be no fear, and you will be far away from upside-down dreams and finally attain Nirvana."

Mu Mu sneered, "Why should you be free of worries? Practicing is exhausting, and pursuing that nonsense of transcendence requires you to die. What if you can't be revived?"

"Isn't it good now? Enjoying the infinite and perfect path, even the Tathagata, the World Honored One, and the Jade Emperor, would treat you with respect and praise you as a great virtue when they see you?"

"With such great magical powers, you can sleep with whoever you want to be, and eat whatever delicacies you want. It teaches people to enjoy what they have and not to use it. This is the truth."

Mu Mu’s pursuit is of course very simple.

Sleep with the most beautiful woman, eat the most delicious food, wear the most comfortable clothes, live in the most dignified palace, in short, enjoy all the good things without having to pay the slightest effort, live as long as possible, and live a comfortable and enjoyable life without suffering.

This actually cannot be considered as Mu Mu’s idea, but should be considered as the instinct of all sentient beings.

"All sentient beings have wisdom and spirits. From the day they are born, wisdom and life instinct are in conflict. This is the difference between humans and beasts."

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, seeing that the Wood Mother was unmoved, he simply stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand and summoned the Original Heavenly Book, and a pair of Yin-Yang wheels hung high behind him.

Pong!
The fire in his heart rose, and suddenly the wooden mother that was burned rolled on the ground, screaming.

"I know I was wrong. Don't burn it. Don't burn it!"

Mu Mu's expression suddenly changed. She was respectful at first and then polite. She quickly shouted, "I would rather follow you to cultivate the golden elixir path. Please go away quickly. It hurts me so much."

"It's too late to beg for mercy now. I'll burn you for a whole day and night so that you know how terrible it is."

"Master, please put away your magical powers. I can't bear it. I can't bear it."

Mu Mu rolled in the sea of ​​fire, trying to put out the flames on her body, but it was useless and she screamed in pain.

In this way, after the flames burned for a day and a night, Zhou Cheng finally put out the flames.

"Are you convinced?"

Facing Zhou Cheng's question, Mu Mu shivered and said, "I... I am afraid of being punished. I am willing to follow the master and cultivate the righteous path, but I am unwilling to do so. Even if I follow the master and cultivate the righteous path, I am afraid that I will ruin the master's great plan in the future."

"No problem. I have now established the Eight Precepts, asking you to keep them and calm your mind. If you break them, you will arouse the fire of your mind and burn it. Can you keep them?"

"My disciple can hold on, so please don't punish me!"

Zhou Cheng nodded with satisfaction, then held the original heavenly book, established eight rhythms, and restrained the Wood Mother.

Next, he would slowly grind the Wood Mother, forcing him to practice and grind away the resentment in his heart, so that Zhou Cheng's Wood Mother appearance could be revealed.

Kuang Zhoucheng was also curious about his own Wood Mother appearance. What was it?

"Follow me on the road. I will teach you the Great Dharma today and help you achieve the right result."

The eight rhythms transformed into eight horse whips, ready to whip Wood Mother. Scared, she quickly moved and began to circulate according to the circulation of the human body's microcosm.

In the outside world, the Dao rhythm between heaven and earth was affected and circulated along Zhou Cheng.

The small world in one's own body was reflecting the big world outside. For a moment, many strange visions appeared above the vast sky. The brilliant light of Dharma attracted the attention of many smart people.

There was a bird that flew from afar. When it saw the spiritual light rising into the sky, it was fascinated. It intuitively felt that there was a supreme treasure ahead, which made it uneasy and it just wanted to take a look.

"You, bird, don't understand cause and effect, and you are entangled in calamity. If you really go to this Jieyang Mountain and disturb the immortal's practice, then your sin is great. Even if you turn to ashes, you can't make up for it."

I saw a brilliant Buddha light shining, which turned into a forbidden word and appeared in the palm of a thin monk, shining with golden light.

The bird, whose true nature was originally concealed, fell uncontrollably into the palm of the thin monk in an instant after seeing the forbidden golden light.

This thin monk was none other than the Maitreya Buddha who had just come down the mountain and was walking towards the Kingdom of Women.

"Master, please accept me. I am willing to serve you as a boy."

The bird also practiced Qi roughly and had some skills, but it had never truly entered the Tao and cultivated magical powers.

"You, the yellow plum bird, are quite extraordinary. If so, stay by my side, and turn the Chinese character for plum into an eyebrow, and call yourself the Yellow Eyebrow Boy."

The bird was overjoyed and shouted: "Thank you for the name, sir. I have a name now. My name is Huang Mei!"

As he spoke, Maitreya Bodhisattva placed the bird on his shoulder, crossed the Zimu River and reached the other side.

On the other side of the Zimu River, there were thatched houses standing, which was a small village.

In the small village, some women and girls were walking around.

As Maitreya Buddha approached, he was seen by a beautiful and charming woman, whose eyes suddenly lit up.

"The human race is coming! The human race is coming!" the beautiful and charming woman shouted.

At that moment, hundreds of people from the village, young and old, came up, looked at Maitreya Buddha with shining eyes, and reached out to tear off Baina's monk robe.

Maitreya Bodhisattva put his palms together and said, "I am a monk, and I have received the precepts, so I will not fall into the sea of ​​desire and suffering. Now, all the good ladies have lustful thoughts when they see me, which is really absurd. Why don't you follow me to practice, enter my sacred place of Lingshan, and become a bhikkhuni? Then you can be admitted to a normal country when you come back."

"Oh, I wish you were a monk. Wouldn't you like me to have sex with you? If you agree, I will become a monk."

"If I hear..."

The sound of chanting scriptures resounded, transforming all things. Suddenly, all the women present were confused, and the scenes of forcing men to become their offspring in the past reappeared in their minds, making them feel so ashamed that they just wanted to give up their lust.

"The real person said that Buddhism is nothing more than a Zen clue, a word of enlightenment... But where can we find the word enlightenment?"

……

At this time, on the top of Jieyang Mountain, inside the pavilion on the waterside.

Zhou Cheng sat cross-legged, surrounded by cool air and flowing fragrance.

At this time, Zhou Cheng saw that his primordial spirit was driving the Wood Mother to practice the Zhoutian Qi to warn him of his laziness and greed for pleasure.

I don't know how many times this Wood Mother has practiced the art of meditation and how much power she has refined. In short, as time passed, the resentment in the Wood Mother's heart naturally dissipated, and her original pig appearance also changed, gradually turning into a human appearance.

This was just the beginning. In the end, the Wood Mother had no form at all. Instead, it turned into infinitesimal particles, like a collection of trillions of light rays, constantly evolving into billions of different forms.

This is the appearance of Tai Su.

It was like this when Zhou Chengxiu cultivated the body of Tai Su. The extremely tiny dust formed a flawless body, and it seemed as if it was ready to ascend to heaven at any time and anywhere.

"I understand, I understand!"

The mission was accomplished perfectly. The Wood Mother, who had evolved into millions of forms, suddenly stood there in a daze. Her whole body began to truly metamorphose. There was no trace of dust at all, breaking the microscopic limitations. There was only infinitesimal, no smallest. From a distance, it seemed as if she had metamorphosed into a brilliant glow of light.

"Now there is the appearance of the Wood Mother Taisu, who should transform into a robe to cover up her original spirit."

The Wood Mother conceals her true nature. For those who have not conquered her, their minds become dull and they become hesitant.

But if you can subdue the Wood Mother, you can use her to transform into Dharma robes to protect your original mind.

"Four of the five gods are in control, and the last one is Huang Po."

Huang Po, also known as Epo.

It is said that anger comes from the heart and evil comes from the courage.

The liver and gallbladder are integrated and located under the right hypochondrium of the human body. The side of the gallbladder corresponds to the left hypochondrium, which is the spleen.

Huang Po is evil in nature, so she likes to kill and has no tolerance for others. She is jealous, resentful, narrow-minded, and... murderous!

It is not difficult to subdue Huang Po, but one must get rid of the evil.

To eliminate evil is not to keep good. To eliminate evil is to eliminate evil. Huang Po was asked to transform into thick earth in the center, with neither good nor evil, to show her innocence to the heaven and earth.

Then Huang Po will assist the other four gods to present the perfection of the five elements and the five qi will converge to the origin, only then can a holy fetus of the Yuanshen be obtained.

"I have killed many people along the way. I don't know how strong this Huang Po is and whether I can subdue her."

Zhou Cheng's mind moved, he entered into a state of concentration, and entered the inner scene of his heart, and then entered the mysterious gate of the spleen.

The entrance of the spleen is no longer a pure land, but a real land of disaster and calamity.

The entire interior scene was a dark red earth, as if it had suddenly been stained with blood and then dried up.

"Such a strong smell of blood? I have killed too many people along the way, which is against the immortal way of valuing life."

As soon as he entered this pure land, Zhou Cheng heard the sound of billions of swords and the boundless murderous intent reaching the sky.

The boundless murderous intent manifested itself, like a boundless dark red ocean, in which it vaguely gathered into a silver-white sword.

Since Zhou Cheng started practicing, he has not been a person who kills without reason. If there is no cause and effect, he will not kill at will.

However, there were indeed innocent people who died at Zhou Cheng's hands.

For example, the Shao Yan clan of the Great Xia world at that time, in order to wipe out the entire Shao Yan clan, naturally, they slaughtered all of them. There were many mortals among them. Although they had the name of Shao Yan clan, they did not benefit from it at all, and were still affected.

Zhou Cheng does not claim to be a righteous person. If innocent people are harmed, then innocent people are harmed. It is Zhou Cheng's nature to cut the grass and wipe it out.

"I still need to slowly grind away this evil nature."

Zhou Cheng let out a long sigh. Now that four out of the five had joined, there was no longer any bottleneck. All that was left was the ink and wash skills. He needed to meet Huang Po every day and talk to her until the disgusting feeling was gone, and then he would be able to achieve success.

"Look carefully at this body, it comes from nothingness, gathers essence and gathers Qi through fate..."

"From birth to death, there are thirteen people who live and thirteen people who die. When a person is alive, there are also thirteen people who will die..."

The sound of chanting scriptures echoed in this disaster land.

Zhou Chengyuan's spirit held the heavenly book in his hands, wore Tai Su robes, and had the Tai Chi wheel on his head. He then began to recite and teach Huang Po.

The rhythm of the way of goodness resounded in this inner scene, interweaving and neutralizing with the boundless murderous intent, and turned into nothingness and dissipated.

This was a long process. After all, Zhou Cheng had never tried to control his killing intent. He never spared anyone who had the killing intent, so he developed this extremely evil killing intent.

……

Time passes day by day, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

Many legends have emerged in Xiniu Hezhou over the years.

Among them are legends of the saints of heaven. After all, it took Laojun thirty-three years to walk this journey.

Then came the legend of the Chushi Zhenren, a man of great virtue in the world, who was attended by two fairies. He traveled across the continents, doing good deeds, and his voice was heard in the nine heavens.

However, the legend of Maitreya Buddha, which was still heard two years ago, has suddenly become silent in the past two years.

On this day, Zhou Cheng and his two companions were explaining the Golden Elixir Dharma to many followers in Hualin Manor, the capital of Chitou Kingdom, when they saw a bright light shining from the Tushita Heaven above the Thirty-three Heavens.

The Tushita Heaven is located at the top of the Thirty-three Heavens. It is the place where the saints of heaven appear and the place where the Jashang Laojun practices.

Therefore, the strange changes in the Tushita Heaven alarmed the powerful people of Zhoutian in a short period of time.

"Why is the light shining from the Tushita Heaven the Buddha's light?"

Tai Weihua looked at Zhou Cheng beside him with great confusion.

After practicing in this world for these years, it is easy for me to identify the fairy clouds and Buddha's light.

"The immortals and Buddhas are all Tao. It is not surprising that Tao emits thousands of kinds of brilliant lights. However, this time, it is not a strange phenomenon caused by Tao. It is a Buddha who is about to return to his position."

As soon as Zhou Cheng said this, Yu Yun beside him immediately reacted: "No wonder my husband wants to preach here, it turns out that an old friend wants to come."

As he was speaking, the Buddha's light descended and landed in Hualin Manor in Chitou City.

In this Hualin Manor, there is a dragon flower tree, which emits thousands of rays of light, illuminating the entire country, and is one of the country's most famous sights.

Under the Dragon Flower Tree, one could see boundless golden light rising. This was the Wonderful Dharma Lotus, illuminating all the lands in the ten directions and shocking hundreds of thousands of ancient caves.

On Mount Lingshan, the Buddha who was preaching the Sutra of the Extinction of Dharma smiled and said, "Good, the future Buddha will appear."

Above the Ninth Heaven, the immortals and gods who witnessed with their own eyes the Bodhisattva Maitreya descending from the Tushita Palace and becoming gods under the Dragon Flower Tree clapped their hands and laughed, saying: There is a great and compassionate saint between heaven and earth.

"I am Maitreya, the humble monk. I have seen the real person. I have not seen him for several years. The real person is more elegant than before."

The Buddha's light was brilliant, and the golden body hung high in the sky. Then all the strange visions disappeared, and a smiling Buddha with a big belly was seen walking towards Zhou Cheng.

"Buddha Maitreya, you have changed so much that I almost can't recognize you." Zhou Cheng joked with the old Buddha.

The Buddha from the East laughed out loud: "Master, please don't tease me. I have achieved the status of the founder of the Buddhism from the East. I have attained the supreme enlightenment under the Dragon Flower Tree. I will hold a Dragon Flower Feast."

"I will never forget the kindness of the Immortal's guidance, so I will invite the Immortal and the two venerables to go to Longhua together."
