Myth: Dragon Lord

Chapter 69
However, in Bai Changsheng's view, what Baihu Yueyao did was putting the cart before the horse.

Cultivating virtue and doing good deeds is certainly a kind of practice, but if you want to climb the Dao, your own practice is the foundation.

As for doing good deeds and cultivating virtue, what one seeks is basically to become a yin god after death, but if this is the case, one will be able to attain the fruit of ghosts and immortals in the future and become a celestial being. The upper limit is too low.

So it is important to do good deeds and cultivate virtue, but if you blindly do good deeds and cultivate virtue while ignoring your own cultivation, you are undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse. Moreover, if your own cultivation is improved, it will undoubtedly be easier to do good deeds and cultivate virtue.

Of course, if what Baihu Yueyao is looking for is only to transcend his soul so that he can become a ghost and immortal in the human body, then it should be considered that he didn't say anything.

Bai Changsheng chatted with Mrs. Zhou for a while, while Baihu Yueyao stood aside to make tea and water for the two of them.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou suddenly changed her tone, looked at Baihu Yueyao who was beside her and said to Bai Changsheng.

"Although Yueyao is a fox demon, she has a kind heart and is dedicated to seeking the Tao. Unfortunately, her old body has limited abilities, and she was just an ordinary woman in her lifetime. Although she is a righteous god, she only knows her own way in practicing the Tao, and only those who can guide Yueyao It’s just advising him to do good and cultivate virtue, and I don’t know if it’s right or wrong.”

"Mr. Long has a profound cultivation and extensive knowledge. I wonder if I can give Yueyao some advice on behalf of the old man. This can be regarded as the old man's favor from Lord Long."

Old Madam Zhou really loves Baihu Yueyao in her heart, and even treats her as her own granddaughter after years of getting along with her. It is precisely because of this that at this moment, Old Madam Zhou does not hesitate to ask Bai Changsheng for advice.

Because Mrs. Zhou knew her flaws. Although she was a righteous god, she was just an ordinary woman in her lifetime. He can prove his own incense and divine way, but he is a little superficial and ignorant about others.

Although she has taught Baihu Yueyao to do good deeds and cultivate virtue over the years, she is not sure whether her advice is right or wrong for Baihu Yueyao, because Baihu Yueyao is different from her, she was pardoned as a righteous god after her death Embark on the path of practice, and practice the way of incense and fire.

But Baihu Yueyao is still alive now, and has embarked on the path of cultivation, and the path of cultivation is obviously different from her incense and divine way.

Therefore, all these years, she was not sure whether her advice was right for Baihu Yueyao, so she couldn't help but ask Bai Changsheng for advice at this moment.

Of course, although the main purpose is to help Baihu Yueyao to seek advice from Bai Changsheng, Mrs. Zhou also has the idea of ​​seeking advice to expand her cultivation knowledge in her heart.

"Taijun."

When Baihu Yueyao heard the words, she couldn't help but looked at Old Madam Zhou with emotion, and then she also looked at Bai Changsheng. If she could get Bai Changsheng's advice, she would naturally be 1 willing in her heart.

Bai Changsheng was not stingy with giving advice, he smiled and said.

"Old Madam, you are being polite. Miss Yueyao is kind-hearted. Since she is sincere, I will just talk about my personal opinion."

"Thank you, Lord Long, for your guidance."

But Baihu Yueyao was also thoughtful, so she quickly thanked her after hearing the words.

"Longjun's Taoism is profound, and his merits are related to good fortune. If the advice of Dragon Lord is just superficial, how can there be great opinions in the world, and the old man should listen carefully."

Mrs. Zhou made another compliment.

Bai Changsheng smiled and said directly without being too polite.

"Cultivation in the world can be roughly divided into two situations. One is the practice after death, that is, the practice of ghosts and ghosts. You can follow the way of incense and fire. If you can practice to the extreme, your soul can transcend ghosts and immortals. , like the old lady, is a yin god. After death, he was pardoned by the heavens as a righteous god because of his previous merits. , and stop here for the rest of his life, he is also the last of the five ranks of immortals."

"The other is to practice while alive. Compared with the practice of incense and fire in the soul after death, it is undoubtedly much more difficult to practice alive, because the practice after death only needs to cultivate the soul, while the practice while alive requires both the cultivation of the soul and the cultivation of the body. , At the same time, whenever the big realm breaks through, it is necessary to guard against various disasters. Although it is more difficult to practice while alive than after death, the upper limit in the future will be higher. Condensing Tao fruit to become a pure yang immortal, you can get the real great freedom and great detachment. From then on, you will be detached from the three realms, not in the five elements, and not bound by the karma of heavenly rules."

"As for the realm of practice, in general, it can be roughly divided into five major realms: Qi training, entering the truth, knowing fate, supernatural powers, and becoming an immortal."

"The four realms of Qi training, entering the truth, knowing fate, and supernatural powers, and each realm is divided into nine levels."

"Immortals are divided into five classes. The first class is Tian Xian and Da Luo Jin Xian; the second class is Immortals, Taiyi Zhenxian; the third class is Earth Immortals; the fourth class is Human Immortals; , comprehend the Tao, condense the fruit of the Tao, and gather the body and soul to be detached."

"The last fifth-class immortals are ghost immortals, also known as celestial beings. They have to transcend their souls but not have pure yang in their bodies. Although they are immortals, they do not have pure yang. Immortals of Yang are only equal to supernatural powers. At the same time, if they can cultivate to supernatural powers, they can abandon their physical bodies at any time, obtain soul transcendence, and attain the fruit of ghosts and immortals to become heavenly beings."

Bai Changsheng explained to both of them the detailed realm division of cultivation and the difference between the practice of the Incense and Fire Shinto and the mainstream practice.

"Practicing Qi, Entering the Truth, Knowing Fate, Supernatural Powers, and Fifth Class Immortals"

"Listening to Long Jun's words today, I am really enlightened."

After listening to Bai Changsheng's narration, both Mrs. Zhou and Baihu Yueyao suddenly felt enlightened and enlightened, especially regarding the direction of cultivation, they only felt clear for a moment and knew a clear goal. The direction is no longer as ignorant as before.

"As for Miss Yueyao's practice, I think that if Miss Yueyao is all about seeking to transcend her soul and attain the fruit of ghosts and immortals, then it is not a bad idea to focus on doing good deeds and cultivating virtue every day, but if it is not the case, it is because she has a pure Yang heart. If so, it is best to focus on self-cultivation, as for doing good deeds and cultivating virtue, just do it when you encounter it, there is no need to force it too much."

"Besides, human monsters are different after all. Although Miss Yueyao is dedicated to doing good, she is still a monster after all. She has been out of the human world for a long time. Once she is seen by a human monk, she will inevitably be misunderstood. But, I am most afraid of encountering some evil cultivators with evil intentions, once you find that Miss Yueyao has evil thoughts and make a fuss as Miss Yueyao, that is the real danger."

"It's certainly a good thing to do good deeds, but it's best to ensure your own safety."

At the end, Bai Changsheng made another point. He also saw that Baihu Yueyao was really kind-hearted and dedicated to seeking the truth, so he made a point.

Of course, it's up to Baihu Yueyao to choose whether he is willing to listen or not.

"However, there are thousands of paths, and everyone's path is different. What kind of practice path to choose and how to walk depend on your own choice."

"Thank you, Lord Long, for your guidance, Yueyao understands."

Yueyao bowed solemnly to Bai Changsheng when she heard the words, but she couldn't help feeling a little confused, she didn't know how to choose her future path, originally she was instructed by Mrs. He was able to become a god and achieve the true fruit like the old lady Zhou, but after listening to Bai Changsheng's narration at this moment, he realized that there are so many differences between the so-called attainment of the Tao and the true fruit.

If she simply wants to become a god and thinks this is the right result, then her previous practice of doing good deeds and cultivating virtues is indeed not wrong.

But after knowing the five-class division of immortals, she couldn't help but hesitate. After all, Chunyang immortals are in front, even if they finally become gods and even prove that ghosts and immortals become heaven and man, so what.

Compared with Chunyang Immortal, are heaven and man really good at Taoism?

The old lady Zhou who was beside me was also filled with emotion.

To be honest, what Bai Changsheng said is that she only understood it after listening to Bai Changsheng at this moment. Before that, although she had been a righteous god for hundreds of years, but because her own vision and circle of intersection were limited, so except In addition to the incense and fire divine way that she herself practiced, she has no idea about other divisions such as the five classes of immortals.

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Zhou is still not doing well. Although she has been a righteous god for so many years, she has not met any righteous gods with real strength and vision. Otherwise, she would not have become a god for so many years. clear.

Don't think that after becoming a righteous god, you must know everything and be able to get along well. For example, Mrs. Zhou was just an ordinary person in life. Under such circumstances, many capable righteous gods would not even bother to make friends.

Just like Cui Chenghuang, Yulong Mountain God and other righteous gods, if you ask them to make friends with such righteous gods as Mrs. Zhou, let alone let them take the initiative to make friends with them, even if Mrs. Zhou took the initiative to make friends with them, they probably won't pay attention to each other. Look, because from their point of view, even if they are both righteous gods, a righteous god like Mrs. Zhou is only at the bottom and is not at the same level as them at all.

awful.

Bai Changsheng can be regarded as able to see that although the old matriarch Zhou is a righteous god and has been a god for many years, in terms of status among the gods, he is definitely a low-level existence, and it is probably better than those who have not even entered the real world. The righteous gods who haven't arrived yet are stronger, and they don't even make friends with a few righteous gods with a little bit of background ability. Otherwise, they don't know such basic knowledge of cultivation. Long Junqiang.

Then Bai Changsheng took another look at Baihu Yueyao, seeing the flickering look in his eyes, he knew that at this moment her heart must be in a fierce struggle.

In the end, should we continue to do good deeds and cultivate virtue in the hope that we will be pardoned as righteous gods after death in the future, and follow the way of incense and fire in order to seek soul transcendence, or should we start to focus on our own cultivation now, and strive to one day prove the pure yang.

Anyway, let Bai Changsheng choose, he will definitely choose to focus on his own cultivation without hesitation, and strive to one day prove the Tao of Pure Yang.

As for celestial beings and ghosts.

The dead bones in the tomb are just ghosts guarding the corpse.

Don't you see that the green snake in the previous life became a heavenly man, and the great supernatural being who taught her and her sister the white snake skills did not show up to formally accept her as a disciple.

It can be seen that in the eyes of true powers, heavenly beings, ghosts and immortals are simply not on the stage.
