Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 21 The Heavenly Demon is Invisible, Hiding in the Elves!

"Tao Jing" has a saying: "There are thousands of demons in the world, the leader is called the demon, born in the devil's abyss, hidden in the spirit, invisible and substanceless, difficult to see with the naked eye, can use the spirit to possess the body, and block the human way Therefore, if one truly cultivates the Tao, he must pass through the tribulations of heavenly demons, and if he does not become demons, he will not be able to prove the Tao.”

Lingjing, that is, the essence of heaven and earth, is the aura in the world.

The meaning of this sentence in "Tao Jing" is very simple.

It means: "There are thousands of demon heads in the world. Among them, the heavenly demon is the head of all demons. ugly to see.

Heavenly demons can use spiritual energy to enter the body of cultivators and prevent them from practicing.

Therefore, if one is a true cultivator, he will definitely stand the test of the demon. If a cultivator has not passed the test of the demon, it can only be said that he has not yet entered the Tao. "

In fact, compared to this explanation, Xu Yan believed in the theory of "spiritual energy is poisonous".

The so-called heavenly demon blocking the way, to put it bluntly, means that there is a problem with the aura.

People who practice the Tao absorb too much spiritual energy, and they also have problems.

However, spiritual energy is the basis of all supernatural things, such as fairies, demons, ghosts, warriors, etc. Even ordinary people may ingest a certain amount of spiritual energy in their breath, and it cannot be avoided at all.

In order not to cause panic in the world, there is a saying that the heavenly demon blocks the way.

Because according to the research of the monks, the intake of a small amount of spiritual energy by ordinary people is completely beneficial and harmless to the body. Only when the intake of spiritual energy exceeds the limit of the body's tolerance will hallucinations, hallucinations, distortions, etc. appear.

People in the world don't know why, so they call it a demon, or an invisible and qualityless heavenly demon.

Practitioners, in order to strengthen themselves and transcend themselves, after reaching a certain level, they will take the initiative to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so they are dancing with demons, and they need to be careful of heavenly demons all the time.

Especially when the cultivation level is greatly advanced, when the cultivation level is broken through, the spiritual energy absorbed by the body will increase greatly, which will lead to the outbreak of hidden dangers in the spiritual energy, and the situation of heavenly demons blocking the way.

Xu Yan didn't know whether such a statement was true or not.

However, it is an indisputable fact that "there are celestial demon thoughts hidden in the spiritual energy". It is written in the "Tao Jing" officially compiled by Dagan and many Taoism classics, and it cannot be faked.

This is the reason why the old man said earlier that ten people practice Taoism and nine people are crazy.

Xu Yan asked the old man, "Aren't the demons scary?" To put it bluntly, he wanted to take this opportunity to learn about the real details of the demons from the old man, whether they really existed, or there was something wrong with their aura.

When the old man heard this question, he didn't hide it, and said in a low voice: "Even the emperors of the heavens, the Taoists, the Buddhas, the gods of the nine heavens, the ghosts and gods of Fengdu, etc., have to suffer from the demons of the heavens all the time. Do you think the Heavenly Demon is scary?"

"Heaven, earth, gods, humans, ghosts, five kinds of immortals, why do you say that immortals have the greatest hope of transcendence?"

"The fundamental reason is that the energy and blood of martial arts can wipe out the demons, and in the case of a physical body, if the demons want to enter the body of a monk, they must go through the training of the blood and energy of the human body, and there is no one out of ten."

"It's like the restraint of the kingly dragon spirit on demons and goblins. If it is an evil spirit without a body, I am afraid that it will disappear without a trace before stepping into the city of Tianjing."

"However, if it is an evil cultivator with a physical body, a demon head, etc., he can safely enter the capital under the protection of the physical body. Although he will be suppressed by the dragon's energy, as long as he does not use evil magic and the yin spirit comes out of his body, he will still be alive." No problem."

"This is also the reason why the people behind Feng Bao used invisible witches to deal with you instead of using other Taoist magic."

The old man explained.

He didn't tell Xu Yan about this before, because warriors rarely encounter situations where demons block their way, so they don't need to know too much.

Think about it too.

The cultivation of human immortal martial arts in the early stage is mainly to polish the blood and condense the will of martial arts.

When you need to breathe out the aura of heaven and earth in the later stage, not to mention that your whole body is like an oven, which can wipe out the thoughts of heavenly demons hidden in the aura by itself. shake.

Therefore, among the five immortals of "heaven, earth, gods, men and ghosts", the one who is least afraid of the heavenly demons blocking the way is the martial arts and human immortals.

"So if you can enter the Tao in the future, you must protect your physical body. Unless you have to, don't abandon your physical body, otherwise it will be too late to regret."

At the end of the old man's speech, he emphasized the importance of the monk's physical body.

"Grandson understands!"

Xu Yan nodded solemnly, keeping this warning firmly in his heart.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the matter of the invisible witch, and asked, "Ah Weng, has anyone found the person behind Feng Bao from the invisible witch?"

Xu Yan didn't understand the art of witchcraft, but this did not prevent him from guessing about the art of witchcraft.

It is nothing more than using special means to drive Gu worms.

That being the case, it proves that the Gu worm has a certain connection with the caster, and it is not difficult to find out the caster behind it through the Gu worm.

There is only one thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to be a thief.

If he can't find out the situation of the person behind Feng Bao as soon as possible, wouldn't Xu Yan have to live in fear all the time, and always be on guard against the enemy's assassination and sneak attack?
So he is still very concerned about this matter.

The old man shook his head, and said softly: "The Gu worm has been handed over to the people of the Imperial City Department, I believe they will have a result soon."

"However, don't have too much hope, because the people behind Feng Bao are secretive, and they probably won't leave too many flaws, so in the next period of time, you still have to pay attention to your own safety and try not to go out."

"Especially, because of the theft of the emperor's seal, many people were affected by Chi Yu. Before the person behind the scenes can be found, it is estimated that many people will vent their anger and dissatisfaction on you."

"So after you enter the imperial department, try to listen more, talk less and do less, keep a low profile, and don't push yourself in everything."

Don't look at the calm and calm in Tianjing City, as if nothing happened.

In fact, the Dagan Palace has long been searched and turned upside down. Many generals of the imperial army and maids in the palace have also been affected. There are hundreds of people who were executed with sticks and executed. numerous.

Among them are many people from the imperial court.

So it's no wonder that Xu Yan is popular when he enters the Imperial Division.

After the old man asked him to enter the Yuqian Division, he should keep a low profile, listen more, watch less and do less, which is definitely good advice.

Xu Yan felt helpless, and said, "Yes, I see!"

He doesn't want to be loud either.

The crux of the situation at the time was that if he didn't stand up, it would not be Feng Bao and those implicated who died, but him and the Habayashi guards who guarded Donghua Gate that day.

As the saying goes: Where the duty lies, a dead fellow Taoist will never die a poor fellow!
For the sake of his own life, even if he didn't want to cause trouble, he could only bite the bullet.

…………

After half an hour.

Xu Yan left from the old man.

It's just that he had just returned to his small courtyard, and before he had time to sort out today's harvest, he saw a servant beside his father Xu Jing rushing over, and said respectfully: "Master, please go there."
