Spiritual recovery?It doesn't matter, I will speak out!

Chapter 5
"Samatha, the mind is calm, the spirit is dwelling, and the body is peaceful. You can see the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. By seeing your own body, you can realize the fruit position."

Jiang Shou read the preface word by word, vaguely realizing something.

Different from the samatha mentioned by the master, this book does not seem to just advocate meditation and letting go of everything when practicing Buddhism, but to achieve something extraordinary in this way.

The gesture of the monk taking away the female ghost with a vajra bowl came to mind, which made Jiang Xie have a bold guess: Is it possible that there is really a way of cultivation in the world?

Jiang Xi became interested and continued to read.

By the time I roughly read the entire scripture, it was late at night before I knew it.

Jiang Pai's savvy is very exaggerated, otherwise the old abbot who adopted him would not have cultivated him so carefully. If he hadn't grown crooked later, it would not be too much to say that the candidate for the next presiding officer has already been decided by default.

So I just read it once, except for some details that still need to be considered, the general core has been completely penetrated by Jiang Xi.

In general, this is not just Buddhist scriptures, but a set of systematic practice methods.

According to the scriptures, from mortal to detached mortal, it is roughly divided into five stages.

The first stage is ordinary people, very fragile, afraid of cold and heat, prone to illness and injury, and follow the natural law of life and death.

The second stage is the quack warlock, who understands some superficial spells, can confuse auditions, can communicate with spirits, and can see part of the essence of the world, such as communicating with the dead, manipulating dead things such as paper figurines, raising little ghosts, and raising Gu. Gu is a method that charlatan warlocks can use.

For Buddhism, it is to be able to strengthen the body and nourish the energy, exorcise evil spirits.

In the past, quack warlocks were enough to rely on to travel north and south, and many capable people used to rely on these to leave a good or bad name in later generations.

But in fact, among the entire group of practitioners, they are just beginners.

This third stage is called Tongtian Mage. The word Tongtian is enough to describe the abilities of these people. They have touched the essence of the world and can display some unimaginable methods for ordinary people.

Praying for rain, praying for luck, counting secrets, and counting fate are all trivial matters to them.

If some unimaginable methods of quack warlocks are compared to the level of undergraduates, Master Tongtian's ability is like a 985 Ph.D. overflight.

The fourth stage is called half immortal.

Different from the fortune-telling half-immortals on the overpass, the half-immortals among the practitioners are able to comprehend the laws of the world. They seem to have transcended life and death, and their body and mind have integrated into the laws of the world. A powerful half-immortal can induce natural changes with every gesture.

The natural rotation, the law of life and death, and even the illusory luck, the ups and downs of the changes can all be intervened.

There are Taoists who raised their hands and black clouds pressed down on the city, and five thunders struck the top to scatter thousands of troops and horses. There are also monks who recite scriptures between their fingers and ten thousand Buddhas. Slashing mountains and rivers with one hand cut off the luck of a country so that no one will know after thousands of years.

A half-immortal is only half a step away from God.

As for the fifth stage, there is no explanation, only one name: True God.

Jiang Sang was amazed, although he yearned for it, he didn't take it too seriously.

"As expected of a monk, he has a way of bragging, and an outline makes my blood boil."

He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had just left the vulgar life just over a year ago.

Below the detailed introduction to the stage, there are some words with different notes, which seem to be supplementary content.

And these contents are for the strength division of ghosts.

The same five stages correspond to: ghosts, wronged souls, ghosts, evil spirits, and evil gods.

In the first two stages, ghosts are not as good as humans, Li Gui and Master Tongtian are evenly matched, but in the last two stages, ghosts are stronger than humans.

This is because ghosts have been born with wisdom since the ghosts, and the most important point that they are better than humans is that ghosts have clear goals, and they are often very cruel and vicious, without mercy.

The characteristics of being cruel and unscrupulous naturally make ghosts have fewer weaknesses than humans and are more difficult to deal with.

"If these are true, then the monk who came and went without a trace, using the vajra bowl to absorb ghost energy and calmly move his fingers, didn't seem to care much about the charlatan in the message to me, it is very likely It's the so-called Master Tongtian."

Jiang Xi pondered:

"The female ghost doesn't know what it is, but it's obviously different from other ghosts. At least it must be a wronged ghost. So, the monk should have saved my life?"

Shaking his head, Jiang Chuan abandoned these thoughts. Anyway, he was not in danger at the time. Even if he had this kindness, he would not admit it. No one would want to kidnap him morally!
"However, let's say I owe him a favor for this great shamatha, but the premise is that it is really useful!"

Thinking about it, Jiang Lan happily opened the part that explained the practice method in detail.

This scripture is not complete, and it is no wonder that the monk only let Jiang Xi practice to the quack warlocks, and this scripture only goes to the quack warlocks, and there will be no more in the future.

And the way of practice is also very suitable for the word "stop", because according to the scriptures, it is to let go of everything, not only to have no distracting thoughts, but it is best to forget your own name and name, and the brain is blank. state.

Then recite the scriptures and use merit as the medium to connect with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and then through visualization and worship, you can benefit from it and turn your merits into a source of strength.

In other words, it is different from the aura in Xiuxian novels, but if you want to practice in reality, hard currency is a merit.

So, the problem arises.

"It's no wonder that it was said earlier that one must do good deeds for ten years to communicate with the world through merit and virtue. After working for a long time, you actually have to bring good people to practice?"

Jiang Chen's expression was a little distorted.

It's easy to talk about money, life, and chastity, but it's a bit difficult to ask for merit.

How can he get any merit from watching all kinds of hell fun and doing all kinds of immoral things every day?

Even the monk said that his merits and virtues would elude him, and his fortune would gradually fade away, so how can he practice like a ghost?

"The monk said that I have ominous omens, which will lead to serious disasters. Only by transcending the common world can the catastrophe be resolved. If it is true, then I can't accumulate merits now. If I can't accumulate merits, I can't practice. If I can't practice, I can't resolve the catastrophe. , isn’t this an endless loop?”

After thinking about it, Jiang Xi felt that it didn't make sense.

This simply does not give people a way to live!
"No wonder the monk ran away after pretending to beep. He must have thought of this problem, but why didn't he just tell me that it was completely cold?"

This made Jiang Xi feel a headache, but he couldn't find anyone who could help him, not to mention that the monk's whereabouts were uncertain, and he didn't even know what his name was. Even his master didn't know where he went. When he wanted to borrow money for a few months, he found that the temple where he lived for more than ten years was empty.

Although judging from the existing information, it is definitely not easy for the old abbot to be kind and kind on weekdays, but Jiang Xi can no longer count on it.

Thinking about how to go out and cheat by recruiting ghosts before the catastrophe came, and then talk about it for a few years, a strange idea appeared in my mind.

"hiss"

Jiang Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to hypnotize himself:
"Master said that I owe the merits of the Buddha, and I am about to become a villain. In other words, there is a number, right? If merits can be used as money, it is equivalent to my current situation as an old lai who owes money.

The fierceness is comparable to that of a half-immortal, so it must be very powerful. If this is the case, I must owe Tiandi Bank a lot of money.

I owe the bank 100, and the bank ignores me, but I owe the bank [-] billion, so I am the father of the bank!
It seems to make sense that others rely on merit to cultivate, but I rely on lack of merit to cultivate."

Just do what you say, Jiang Xi doesn't care about the three sevens and 21, try it first and then talk, immediately abandon all distracting thoughts, and enter the state of samatha according to the scriptures.

All of a sudden, the charm of Buddha appeared, which set off Jiang Xi's incomparable peace and tranquility. If you didn't know him, you might really think that he is some kind of eminent monk.

This state of samadhi lasted for an unknown amount of time. When Jiang Pai No. 80 recited the scriptures once, a certain outline of existence actually appeared in the originally empty field of vision.

But with just one glance, Jiang Xi suddenly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, there was surprise, confusion, bewilderment, and suspicion.

Thousands of words finally turned into one sentence:

"That's weird, take another look."
