Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 127 "Past Amitabha Sutra"

"found it!"

Yin Qi was delighted. He took out a copper plate from his body and scratched it hard on the strange cover. He saw a touch of dark gold emerge from the scratch.

As he continued to scratch the cover, a piece of slightly dark gold paper was soon revealed.

It is densely packed with scriptures in small print, as well as pictures.

It appears to be gold foil.

When Yin Qi lifted up the scripture, he found that the scripture was like a silk scroll, lifted up into a large piece.

It is very thin, one meter long and wide, and it is densely covered with text.

Among them is a golden Buddha statue, sitting in the void, with countless sun, moon and stars rotating around it.

Looking at this Buddha statue, Yin Qi seemed to have seen himself in his previous life.

It seems that there are countless Buddhist principles presented on this Buddha statue, which makes people unable to help but immerse themselves in it and develop the Buddha nature deep in their hearts.

"What an amazing painting skill, almost Taoist."

Yin Qi was secretly shocked.

Being able to express the Buddhist charm of the Buddha through painting is simply incredible.

There are three volumes of supreme sutras in the Dazen Temple, namely "Past Amitabha Sutra", "Present Tathagata Sutra" and "Future Inanimate Sutra". Among them, "Past Amitabha Sutra" and "Future Inanimate Sutra" belong to the method of cultivating Taoism, and "Present Tathagata Sutra" Sutra belongs to martial arts.

The "past" remains unchanged, so practicing the "Past Amitabha Sutra" will make your soul immortal.

In the original work, Hong Yi lost his soul several times, but it was only because of practicing the "Past Amitabha Sutra" that he regained his composure.

This is simply a cheating device for the ascetics, which is equivalent to N more lives.

Spreading out the scriptures, Yin Qi lowered his head and took a closer look.

Although the small regular script is small, it is very clear, just like the mark carved by a knife, without any ambiguity.

Moreover, the font has a power that goes deep into the bone marrow. After people read it, there is a feeling that these small characters will move and fly.

The "Past Amitabha Sutra" begins with "Thus I heard", which is like a Buddhist scripture recording the Buddha's remarks.

He read it very carefully and quickly finished the outline.

At the same time, from the general outline, I also understood the most fundamental method of visualization and cultivation in the "Past Amitabha Sutra", which is also the reason why I can keep my soul immortal.

Yin Qi folded the gold and platinum again and put it in his arms.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and sat like the Buddha in the middle of the Amitabha Sutra. He held his hands in front of his abdomen, with his thumbs facing each other, forming the Amitabha Seal.

Then, he visualized the starry sky in his mind, with the light of countless stars falling down and entering.

Inch by inch, it went deep into my mind.

The foundation of Taoism is visualization, and the essence of visualization is to turn false into true.

Visualizing the starry sky and receiving the initiation is like looking at plum blossoms to quench your thirst.

Although I didn’t eat any plums, my mouth was filled with saliva.

This is essentially stimulating the physical body with the spirit, which is the same as stimulating the mind when practicing An Jin.

The soul cannot grow out of thin air and needs to be nourished by the physical body.

Yin Qi had no thoughts and soon fell completely into a state of contemplation.

He imagined that the stars all over the sky were twinkling, and the stars were shining from an infinite distance, all falling on top of his head, getting in inch by inch.

As soon as the imaginary starlight set, he felt cool all over.

It's like bathing in the cool breeze, breathing fresh air in the pores of the whole body.

The whole person is in a state of ecstasy, extremely comfortable and intoxicating.

But at this time, don't be intoxicated.

Because once you are intoxicated, you will completely lose yourself.

Youdao is that when falsehood is true, truth is also false, and when truth is false, falsehood is also true.

To practice the visualization of the soul, the most important thing is to keep your mind.

One bad move will lead to eternal disaster, which is why there are far fewer monks than warriors.

Without a certain amount of talent, you will only burn yourself to death.

Yin Qi woke up with a start, suppressing the intoxication in his heart, and visualized again, a golden Buddha appeared in the starry sky.

Kind and kind.It seems to be his previous life thousands of lives ago.

The sutra says that visualizing this Amitabha Buddha can suppress all kinds of inner demons and understand one's true face for thousands of lives.

Sure enough, as the Buddha was visualized, the previous feeling disappeared.

"How about trying to get out of body?"

Suddenly, Yin Qi had a thought in his mind.

The first step in cultivating Taoism is to calm the mind. Only when the mind is calm can the soul leave the body.

Concentration is a threshold that most people cannot even cross.

But for Yin Qi, this is just a small problem.

Although the martial arts of the Republic of China were low-level, it was precisely because of the low-level that they developed their 'mental power'.

Use 'mental energy' to make up for various deficiencies and promote the development of the realm.

Hitting someone is like burning the body; cicadas wake up before the autumn wind moves; punches are not punches, intention is unintentional, and unintentional is the true meaning, etc. These are all abilities and manifestations of the spiritual level.

Therefore, for Yin Qi, calming down is just a piece of cake.

Logically speaking, if he wants to calm down and leave his body, he needs to light incense to protect himself, because his soul is fragile at first and cannot bear the night breeze.

But Yin Qi thought about it and still didn't go to Mr. Tu to borrow money, because the strength of the soul essentially depends on one's will, and because of this, warriors can transfer to monasticism very quickly.

Those old Confucian scholars who are knowledgeable and poor in scriptures can become ghosts and immortals overnight.

The ancient masters were even more powerful. Once they practiced, they immediately became saints and survived seven thunder tribulations to become the Creator.

Yin Qi believed that even if he could not become a ghost fairy with his own background, he would not be blown away by the night wind as soon as he came out of his body.

Thinking of this, the visualization in his mind changed, and a seven-story pagoda appeared.

This is exactly the "Pagoda Visualization Method of Emerging from the Shell" recorded in the "Tao Jing".

This "Pagoda Visualization Method for Emerging from the Shell" requires people to visualize a seven-storey extremely high pagoda, and then climb up step by step, and finally make a vigorous leap on the highest level, so that the spirit will come out of the body.

As Yin Qi visualized, the pagoda became extremely clear.

Then, he visualized his figure in the pagoda, and climbed to the top of the pagoda step by step.

Finally, he jumped with all his strength, and immediately felt that the scenery in front of him was changing, and at the same time, his body felt light and weightless.

He looked around and found himself sitting cross-legged among a pile of books.

This is a very exciting feeling, like being in a dream, but extremely real.

There is also an extremely strong sense of freedom.

This sense of freedom comes from being freed from the shackles of the body, and can fly freely in the sky, without the feeling of being stuck in the ocean like a person who has just emerged from the body.

"I don't know what level I've reached, I'll find out if I go out and give it a try!"

Yin Qi turned around and Hun'er walked out towards the cave entrance.

At this moment, a gust of night wind blew in, making Yin Qi feel slightly uncomfortable, as if he was wearing only a single coat in the early autumn morning, but it was completely bearable.

He continued walking outside and soon came to the outside of the cave. The feeling of discomfort became more and more serious, as if he had entered the winter wearing single clothes, but it was not serious.

Looking up at the sky and looking around the valley, I feel that the world is so clear.

"It seems that my limit is night swimming!"

Concentration, leaving the body, night travel, day travel, and driving away objects are the first five realms of spiritual practice.

Yin Qi directly jumped over the first two and reached the night tour level.

This is still because of the physical body. If he visualizes it with the body of the Conferred God World, he can at least directly step into the Expelling Object Realm.

Although the soul and the body are two separate entities, they are closely connected.

Without the nourishment of the physical body, the soul will dissipate immediately.

At the same time, if the physical body is strong, the soul will naturally be strong. This is also the reason why warriors make rapid progress when they turn to monasticism.

"Mr. Yin, have you actually practiced Taoism?"

At this moment, a clear and old voice came from the side.

Yin Qi turned around and saw that he was an old man in Confucian robes. He had his hands behind his back and walked like an old scholar. His eyes were full of surprise when he looked at him.

"Old Tu!"
