Eat the incense of the world, I am actually the underworld

Chapter 19 The Art of Hutian
At night, Changlan City became lively again.

The disappearance of people for several consecutive nights made the magistrate furious, and all the officials and houses in the mansion felt as if they were facing an abyss.

Under the pressure layer by layer, it directly develops into fireworks all over the city at the execution level.

In the huge Changlan City, at one time, there are three steps, one post, and five steps, one sentry.

Patrol soldiers, all over the streets and alleys.

In this noisy atmosphere, Mo Chuan and Abbot Tianbao sat around a table in a small courtyard of a private house in the west of the city.

Accompanying him was a wandering Taoist priest named Yiqian.

This man was about fifty years old, with a broad face and big ears, and a thick beard. He was always holding a jade wat in his hand, and he was not angry.

According to the introduction of Abbot Tianbao, Taoist priest Yiqian is quite famous in the Jinzhou area, and he worships the truth and fights secret techniques with one hand, and has killed countless demons and demons.

Coming here to Changlan City, he intends to establish a sect, so he is very concerned about the ghosts and monsters in the city.

After all, if you can know that the government favors you, you will get twice the result with half the effort!
At this time, the hustle and bustle continued outside the courtyard, and the three old gods in the courtyard were there, drinking tea and discussing Taoism.

Abbot Tianbao was obviously very interested in Master Fuluan Guanzu.

There was a lot of probing between the words.

Mo Chuan was not good at asking questions, so he could only answer selectively.

Even so, Abbot Tianbao was still amazed.

Especially for the scene of "asking for the sword in the void", I repeatedly asked and analyzed it.

After a long time, he sighed:

"My old man heard that there is a saying in the Taoist school: You can get a method from the Tao, and you can get a skill from the Dharma, and it will not change forever! It seems that the master Fu Luan is not an ordinary ghost!"

Mo Chuan's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the mage, there is something special about it?"

"I'm not a member of the Daoist sect, and I've only heard about the Daoist sect's affairs, so how dare I fight against the sect?"

Abbot Tianbao looked at Taoist priest Yigan.

Seeing this, Mo Chuan immediately cupped his hands to Taoist Priest Yigan and asked, "Can fellow Taoist teach me?"

Taoist Yigan obviously knew that "Mo Chuan" would follow him.

It is also known that he was born as a Taoist boy of Yunjiguan, and he seems to be a young man, but in fact, his knowledge and experience is not as good as that of a rural Taoist priest.

Thinking of the long night, we simply chatted.

Anyway, it's just some basic knowledge of Taoism, even if everyone knows it, it doesn't matter.

But it is said that the Tao Te Ching says:

Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things.

All kinds of spells in Taoism are derived from Taoism.

It can be said: ever-changing, all methods are unified.

What the Taoist school seeks is the way that all dharmas can be unified.

Also known as: Daoguo.

In other words, Dao is the foundation, Dharma is the branch, and technique is the end.

Among the many Taoism techniques, the 72 techniques of Earth Sha are the most famous:
One of them is called:

【Pot day】

——It can be satisfied with mustard seeds.

Rumor has it that one who has cultivated to the Mahayana realm can hide the universe in his sleeves and the sun and the moon in his palms.

Patriarch Fuluan can draw a sword out of thin air, presumably he should have mastered this technique.

This means that Patriarch Fuluan has very likely obtained a Taoist inheritance.

This is also the true meaning of what Abbot Tianbao said, "A method is found in the Tao, and a technique is obtained in the Dharma".

Of course, this is just Abbot Tianbao's guess.

Even so, Mo Chuan was still extremely guilty after hearing this!

'Now I'm pretending to be a big hair! '

For a moment, he was actually a little worried as Fu Luan watched the future.

As the saying goes: if virtue does not match, there will be disasters.

He only hoped that the old Taoist Fuluan would be cautious and avoid troubles.

After talking about Taoism, Mo Chuan inquired about the method of cultivation.

It should be noted that the same Taoism, in the hands of monks of different realms, naturally has completely different powers.

Just like the skill of the pot of heaven, if you don't master it, you can hide some personal belongings at most;
If you can cultivate it, you can build a cave and create a universe.

Faced with Mo Chuan's inquiry, Taoist Yigan shook his head:
"The Tao Te Ching has a saying that the Dao is good for life, tempting people to follow the Dharma, refining one's nature with thousands of doors, cultivating one's mind with ten thousand actions, and the sky has three thousand, choose one to do. The practice of Taoism is as vast as stars, it is hard to say, Hard to say."

Mo Chuan wanted to ask about the "secret method of worshiping the truth" that he practiced, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to forget it.

Daoists pay attention to inheritance, how can they teach the Dharma easily?
Unless he worships someone as a teacher!
He didn't care about this, he was afraid that the Daoist priests would not accept him.

When his thoughts were wandering, he simply asked Abbot Tianbao about Buddhism.

"What? Fellow Daoists want to switch to Buddhism?"

"Could it be impossible?"

"Hahaha, it's all about practice, why not? Zen Buddhism can lead Buddhas into Taoism. Fellow Taoists, it's not impossible to lead Taoism into Buddhahood. Maybe this is one of the three thousand ways of Tianyan."

Abbot Tianbao had a meaningful expression on his face.

Mo Chuan's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed the meaning of Abbot Tianbao, and he was afraid that he had some intention of spying on Yunji to observe Taoism.

"I don't know how to cultivate this Dharma?" Mo Chuan asked, as if he didn't see a rabbit or a hawk.

"It depends on what kind of sex the Taoist is?"

"Caste?" Mo Chuan subconsciously thought of the third brother.

"Buddha Dharma is boundless, only for those who are destined."

Under the explanation of Abbot Tianbao, Mo Chuan finally sorted out the outline of practicing Buddhism.

Unlike Daomen, there are three thousand avenues to choose from.

The Buddha wants to cultivate the dharma body. The dharma body has five natures, which are:
The nature of ordinary people, the nature of sravakas, the nature of bodhisattvas, the nature of Tathagatas, and the nature of heretics.

The caste determines the future fruit position!
For example, the bodhisattva's caste is the highest bodhisattva.

However, Abbot Tianbao also said that one's caste can be transformed with the advancement of the Dharma.

Mo Chuan asked Abbot Tianbao what kind of sex he was?
Abbot Tianbao replied: Ordinary caste.

Well, the words of the so-called caste conversion are probably not words of comfort!Even if it is not, it is probably as difficult as climbing the sky.

Back to topic.

After determining the species, you can "first fruit direction".

There are two directions here, "the Hinayana enters concentration" and "the Mahayana enters concentration".

Hinayana, stop at Arhat fruit position.

Mahayana, that's incredible, you can practice Buddhahood.

However, Mahayana is not so easy to cultivate.

The limitation of caste is one of them. After cultivating to the tenth level, you have to go back to the small ones, and then practice the Hinayana, which is extremely complicated.

Mo Chuan's head grew dizzy the more he heard it, thinking, let's practice Taoism!

However, he still asked: "Dare to ask the mage, what is the caste of a poor Taoist?"

"Heretic species!"

Mo Chuan was astonished when he heard this.

There is a saying in the Shurangama Sutra: Going far away from perfect penetration, backing the city of Nirvana, and giving birth to a foreign way.

In other words, being inspired by the inversion of the world to become the immortal seed, and born in the alien seed, lost the way of enlightenment.

In other words, this is a caste completely insulated from Buddhism.

"So, the poor will never be able to practice Buddhism?" Mo Chuan asked unwillingly.

"Fellow Taoist is cultivating the Tao, so he is naturally a heretic." Abbot Tianbao pointed out something.

Mo Chuan nodded, lost in thought.

Is there a trap in this statement?

At first glance, it sounds like he is a heretic because he is practicing Taoism.

It seems to imply that if he stops cultivating Taoism, he can get rid of the caste of heretics!
But is this really the case?

Could it be that the abbot didn't dare to break the precepts or lie, so he told lies with the truth?

"I have a volume of visualization map, which can prolong life, and fellow Taoists can observe it frequently."

Abbot Tianbao changed the subject and sent over a volume of visualization pictures.

Mo Chuan took it and was about to open it when Abbot Tianbao stretched out his hand and pressed:
"The immediate business is important!"

Mo Chuan nodded, suppressing his curiosity, put away the visualization map, and hid it in his arms.

The moonlight is like water, and the stars are shining brightly.

The three of Mo Chuan sipped tea and discussed, while Luo Feibai, who was waiting not far away, became more and more anxious.

After waiting for a long time, he saw that the voices of the three topics had stopped slightly, so he hurriedly approached and asked, "Master Dao, there is no movement in the middle of the night, do you want Luo to go out and investigate?"

The subtext of this sentence is to ask "Why hasn't the spirit come yet?"

Just as Mo Chuan was about to comfort him, Abbot Tianbao stroked his beard suddenly and said, "Here we come!"

Luo Feibai suddenly raised his head, subconsciously clenched the handle of the horse-chopping knife with his right hand!
