In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 135 The vast and towering sky shines brightly; who can find the place to attain Buddhahood here!
"Brother Ling! What happened to your hand?!"

After leaving Far East Biological and getting into the car, Chen Jinxin noticed the injury on Xie Lingxin's hand and immediately cried out in surprise.

"It's nothing, I was just testing the strength of these golden bones."

He had just come downstairs, and the deep, bone-revealing cut he had made himself had stopped bleeding and scabbed over.

It is said that after passing through the five heavenly gates of the physical body and "forging the furnace and cauldron", one can refine a jade-bone immortal body and make the physical body indestructible.

Even if injured, it can heal instantly, which is quite amazing.

Although I can't compare to that level, I'm only at the first stage, and my physical body is already incredibly strong.

Chen Jinxin knew what he had done as soon as she heard it, and couldn't help but feel both amused and annoyed:
"Are you afraid they'll lie to you? Besides, even if you were to try, why would you try it like this?"

"The path of immortality values ​​life. How can a cultivator not cherish their own body? Don't do it again!"

"Ok?"

Xie Lingxin was a little surprised, and continued, "Do you know that there's another saying after 'the immortal path values ​​life'?"

I don't know if it's because of his addiction, but during a previous live stream, he discovered his hidden trait: he likes to lecture.

Chen Jinxin's eyes widened: "What?"

Xie Lingxin smiled and said, "The immortal path values ​​life and extends boundless salvation to all beings."

"This is a Taoist saying. Life is the most precious thing in the universe. Practitioners aim for longevity and cultivate themselves diligently in order to live as long as heaven and earth and shine as brightly as the sun and moon."

"But at the same time, 'cherishing life' not only refers to respecting and treasuring one's own life, but also to a broad-minded love for all living beings, regarding all life as one's own and treasuring it equally."

"To cultivate the path of immortals, one must have a broad and tolerant mind that regards all sentient beings as oneself, and at the same time, one must have a fearless spirit to help all sentient beings escape the sea of ​​suffering."

"In short, it is about reverence and love for life, whether for oneself or for others."

As Chen Jinxin listened to his eloquent speech, she blinked, her eyes revealing a hint of admiration.

As expected of Brother Ling, she actually heard this sentence when she was cultivating with a senior on the capital planet.

It is said that this is the great Daoist pronouncement spoken by the "Daoist Immortal".

Dao Xian is one of the Ten Immortals.

I naturally understand the meaning behind it, but Brother Ling, who has been on Far East Star all along, is also very clear about it, and even knows more and more deeply than I do.

This is quite different from the Ling brother who saved me back then, who had a snotty nose and was a bit silly.

But it perfectly matches the glorious image of Brother Ling that she has imagined over the years.

Although Xie Lingxin spoke very well and she admired her greatly, her competitive spirit kicked in.

"So, I told Brother Ling to cherish his body, right?"

Xie Lingxin smiled and said, "Have you ever heard another saying: 'Be alarmed by favor or disgrace, and regard great calamity as your own body'?"

Chen Jinxin frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then shook her head: "What do you mean?"

She did well in classical Chinese literature and history, but she only half understood this style of language at first glance.

Xie Lingxin suddenly stared at her, making her face flush red. She asked shyly and happily, "Brother Ling, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xie Lingxin said earnestly, "You are so beautiful."

Chen Jinxin's face instantly turned red.

I covered my cheeks with my hands, feeling them burning.

But deep down, I was overjoyed.

Ling-gege is so direct! What should I do?
"Brother Ling, you're doing this..."

Before Chen Jinxin could finish speaking, Xie Lingxin interrupted with a smile: "You see, this is what it means to be alarmed by favor or disgrace, and to regard great calamity as one's own life."

"You are a prodigy; you should understand that the human body is influenced by the mind,"

"When a person is frightened, the blood and qi in the body will fluctuate. A person is affected by the fluctuation of blood and qi in the heart, and naturally, the creation follows, affecting the physical body."

"When you receive praise or insult, your emotions fluctuate due to the desire for gain or loss, which further aggravates the changes in your mind and disturbs your true nature. You feel as if you have been frightened. This is called being startled by both favor and disgrace."

"When I compliment your beauty, don't you feel flattered? When you feel pleased, the changes in your blood and energy are reflected in your physical body, and doesn't it feel very comfortable?"

"If I said you were ugly, you would definitely feel indignant and have a tightness in your chest. This is another kind of feedback from changes in your blood and qi, which must be very uncomfortable, right?"

"Gains and losses can cause waves of qi and blood in the body, disturb the mind, and make people feel anxious and uneasy. Therefore, it is said that one is easily frightened by honor or disgrace."

Xie Lingxin spoke eloquently, thanks to his increased spiritual cultivation; he had long since "memorized" these words.

When I saw it in my past life, I just watched it; now, when I "read" it again, the insights come rushing in.

I just wanted to tease Chen Jinxin and show off a bit.

Now, the whole process is about talking and comprehending the Tao at the same time.

So the more she talked, the more excited she became, completely unaware that Chen Jinxin's flushed face was getting darker and darker.

"Then what does 'treating great calamities as one's own body' mean?"

If he were unaware, he excitedly asked and answered himself: "The Taoist scriptures say: The reason I have great suffering is because I have a body. If I had no body, what suffering would I have?"

"The human body is a vessel for conveying the Way, but it is also a source of calamity,"

"In spiritual practice, the greatest danger is our own body."

"When the six senses come into contact with the six sense objects, there are six desires and six thieves. The Qi mechanism drives the changes in the Qi and blood in the body. When the Qi mechanism in the heart rises and falls, then the mind has the knowledge and treatment of the Qi mechanism. If it is not correct, all kinds of desires will arise."

"It refers to our bodies, which cause people to have wild thoughts, bring about all kinds of harm, and are the source of all evil."

"Then tell me, the Daoist way values ​​life, and we should cherish everyone's life and body, including our own,"

"But the body is also the biggest source of trouble, so why bother cherishing it?"

The driver in front seemed a bit confused at this point.

He's a highly skilled driver to be able to drive for the Chen family's daughter.

However, Xie Lingxin's long speech made his eyes seem to glaze over.

Chen Jinxin's mouth was half open.

They all forgot how annoyed they were by his lack of romantic understanding.

No, I just offered a word of advice out of concern: "Why are you talking so much?"
However, she is a cultivator, and a prodigy among cultivators.

Xie Lingxin's words did indeed give her some insight.

What he said, though seemingly contradictory, contained a reason.

They didn't even have time to talk about personal matters anymore.

"Brother Ling, do you think your body is useless and a burden that you don't need to care about, so you hurt yourself so casually?"

Xie Lingxin shook her head: "No, no, no, the Buddha said: Those who attain human form are like the dust on a fingernail, those who lose human form are like the dust of the earth."

"It means that it is difficult to obtain a human body. Only by first obtaining a human body can one have the destiny to become an immortal or a Buddha."

“In the Federation’s cultivation, based on innate talent, one cultivates the physical body to the sixth level and forges the furnace, which is precisely because of the importance of the human body.” “Therefore, to cultivate and attain the Dao, one cannot do without a human body.”

Legend has it that many demons and monsters have to cultivate themselves diligently, with the first step being to transform into human form before they can even talk about attaining enlightenment.

Now that the legends have come true, these claims have naturally become true as well.

This statement is clearly correct.

Chen Jinxin seemed to be deep in thought.

Xie Lingxin also gained more and more insights as she spoke, and teaching others was itself a process of reviewing and learning new things.

No one can shut him up now.

The Confucian classics also say: "A gentleman is content in every situation."

"Uphold the Way and embrace virtue without seeking personal gain; be content with one's lot and accept one's fate without worrying about death."

"It means that a virtuous person, regardless of the circumstances, whether it be water, fire, armor, weapons, or wild beasts, can be at peace with whatever comes his way, find contentment wherever he is, and live a carefree life."

"Not enslaved by circumstances, able to maintain the naturalness of mind, and not allowing one's true nature to be harmed in any way."

"If your true nature remains unharmed, your authentic self will find peace. What is there to fear from mere external things?"

"What's the big deal about me cutting myself? It's precisely to understand myself that I do it. I have confidence, so I'm naturally not afraid."

"I can be empty, I can be damaged, I can be nothing, so things cannot harm me."

“The sage cherishes subtlety and embraces simplicity, and nothing can harm him.”

"Throughout history, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and other schools of thought have all shared common principles..."

Xie Lingxin quoted extensively from classical texts, readily drawing upon Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, but suddenly noticed that Chen Jinxin's eyes were blank.

It wasn't that I was stunned, but rather that I had fallen into a void that was almost like "nothingness".

A wisp of obscure energy emanated from every pore on his body.

A faint divine light emanated from the Heavenly Gate above, like clouds and mist.

Xie Lingxin: "..."

What the hell?

Has he attained enlightenment?
What I said!

I said!
I haven't figured it out yet!
He roared inwardly.

However, he kept a close eye on Chen Jinxin's movements.

Firstly, he was afraid of something going wrong; secondly, the aura emanating from Chen Jinxin at that moment also gave him some insights.

This is an opportunity to observe a person's "Tao" up close.

For those who have "attained the Way," even the slightest misstep can lead to the demise of their path.

For the person watching, it is an opportunity to attain enlightenment.

It's simply impossible without an extremely close and trusting relationship.

However, although he gradually became engrossed in the Daoist energy, he also discovered that the divine light at Chen Jinxin's Heavenly Gate seemed to be encountering an obstacle, making it difficult to penetrate.

There is always a barrier, as thin as a thread, yet it is difficult to break through.

Xie Ling thought to herself that since she had attained enlightenment because of what she had said, then this opportunity must be related to what she had said.

He then carefully recalled the boast he had just made.

He himself had also gained a lot from the recent "review and learning," so looking back, it was easy for him.

Moreover, it sparks even more inspiration.

Whether it was a coincidence or a natural progression, I don't know.

I recalled a song verse from my memory that perfectly explained the principles involved and even subtly pointed out the way forward.

On a whim, spontaneously, he began to tap his knees in rhythm and sing:

"This physical body is so obstructive, causing harm to my mind."

"Upon careful consideration, it is truly unbearable; it attracts hordes of demons that are difficult to restrain."

"It breeds the five ghosts and the three corpses, and fosters the eight evils and the six harms."

"I have fallen into the three evil realms and sunk into the six realms of existence, all because of the teachings of this physical body."

"Now that I know you are my enemy, I feel disgust towards you!"

"Ask a wise teacher, seek the convenient path, and only by obtaining the Dharma can you return to your true self."

"Life arises solely from desire, and once desire is exhausted, there is no coming or going."

"Sever your desires and be firm in them; do not be attached to the physical body and you will make mistakes."

"A great divine pearl is hidden within, its light shining day and night."

Suddenly, enlightenment dawns in my heart, and my physical body transforms into a treasure trove of pearls.

"It emits light, pervading the entire Dharma realm, connecting the inner and outer without any hindrance."

“Illuminating the dignified being who has transcended the world, dignified and possessing supernatural powers.”

"Once you shed this stinking body, you can roam freely without restraint."

"Neither coming nor going, there is no fixed abode between coming and going."

"Vast and majestic, shining in the heavens, who can find the place to attain Buddhahood here!"

"boom!"

Chen Jin's mind was filled with a radiant light that seemed to penetrate the heavens, leaving him in a trance.

Like the rising sun.

Even bystanders could see it clearly.

The fourth barrier to the soul!
Astral projection!
At the same time, Xie Lingxin couldn't care less about anything else; he also felt as if thunder had exploded within his body, as if the world had just begun to open.

It was as if an endless, surging chaos was separating the clear from the turbid.

The torrent broke through all obstacles, the earth rose and fell, rivers flowed freely, and all streams converged.

I felt that all my old ailments and chronic illnesses had disappeared, leaving me feeling refreshed and completely at ease.

Unblock the meridians, and all diseases will disappear!
The second barrier of physical body has been broken!
The Thunder car slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

The driver was dumbfounded...

In a daze, but with sheer willpower, I managed to stop the car.

Are you two... even human?
