No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 18 The Charm of Immortal Cultivation

Once upon a time, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he was a butterfly.

After waking up, I felt like I was a butterfly, or maybe the butterfly dreamed of me.

In fact, the memory of a butterfly is as real as the memory of a human.

If a person suddenly has another memory, it will have an impact on his own cognition.

The man suddenly had the woman's memories, and his own memories and the other person's memories were so real.

So does he consider himself a man or a woman?
Which one is the real "him"?
How does “he” distinguish which one is “himself”?

You can't just keep stacking buffs and playing tricks like Xu Shun did in his previous life.

I am a male in this life, but I was a female in my previous life, so I am a female in my heart. I am also a transvestite and a homosexual.

Reincarnation also brings up another ethical issue.

Suppose that your granddaughter is the reincarnation of your mother, and suddenly one day the granddaughter awakens her memories of her past life.

Doesn't that mean my daughter's daughter is my mother? This is a weird ethical issue.

hiss……

There are also some crazy questions like “My daughter’s daughter is still my daughter”.

And more deeply, how to judge "past life and present life" and "people".

Everyone has been reincarnated countless times, so it doesn’t matter which one is the real “him” or “him” at all.

Just like the wheat in the wheat seedlings, it germinates, grows and produces ears, and the seeds continue to germinate, grow and produce ears, and the cycle continues.

The idea of ​​wheat seeds is not important, what matters is that they can produce ears of wheat.

To a certain being, it is not important what each person is like in the cycle of reincarnation. What is important is that they can go through the cycle of life and death and form the "wheat field" of the human world.

Only with a "wheat field" can you continuously cultivate the desired results.

as well as……

Forget it, don't think about it, you're just scaring yourself.

After asking the question just now, Xu Shun thought divergently and thought a lot.

Fortunately, when he came to this world, he had no memory of his original body.

Did he really travel through time, or did he travel through a memory?
He didn't know either.

When the past is uncertain, he can only look forward.

When you walk to the front, you will naturally know where it is.

"Hmm~ Your disciple has hit the nail on the head." Lan Dao Ren stroked his beard for a rare moment and said, "That ancestor is also confused."

"According to the notes left by his fellow Taoists, Green Light Patriarch was also in a state of confusion for many years. In the end, he almost ran out of energy and died of old age in the mountains."

"But at the last moment, he used the other woman's memory as 'me' to kill her, and broke through to the Yuanshen realm."

Xu Shun said: "And then he ascended to heaven?"

"No, after reaching the Yuanshen realm, he failed to break through to the Mahayana realm and passed away in the mountains." Taoist Lan said.

There are many such stories in the thousands of years of inheritance of the Qinghua School. Some people recorded their own stories, while others recorded stories in the mountains.

While recording his own story, Lan Dao Ren could clearly feel that everyone, when practicing, thought they were a genius in practicing Taoism.

After all, not everyone can practice.

So, the beginning of the story is all about ease, confidence, and looking superior to others.

When one faces a bottleneck in practice, the words will be filled with confusion, doubt, and suspicion. One may even suspect that the reason for not making a breakthrough is that there is something wrong with the master's method.

Or maybe they suspect that they can’t break through because they didn’t eat breakfast, or some other ridiculous reasons. At the end of the story, some are unwilling to accept it, some are relieved, and some don’t give up.

The beginning of the story is similar, the ending of the story is similar, but the characters in the story are different.

This is the story of the Qinghua Sect and also the story of the monks.

Lan Daoren was also such a person in the past.

In this generation, he is not the fastest in cultivation, his character is not the best, and he is not the most diligent.

His favorite thing to do is to read books in the Qinghua School's library for a whole day.

Looking at the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness in those stories, it feels as if I have returned to that era.

As for practicing, it is natural to fish for three days and dry the net for two days.

It’s a bottleneck anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether you repair it or not.

As a result, he broke through to the Golden Core stage without knowing it and was looked up to by others.

After his spiritual breakthrough, the entire sect was shocked. Even Qingtao, who had ignored him before, became much more enthusiastic towards him.

After breaking through to the Mahayana stage, he became the object of study for the entire sect, and Qingtao would visit him every few days.

As a result, many people in the deserted library imitated him and read those idle letters, which naturally hindered their own practice.

From an ordinary cultivator to a cultivator who is about to ascend to become an immortal!
Let an ordinary insect transform into a butterfly, cross impossible obstacles, and become the dancing colors in the sky.

This is the most fascinating charm of cultivating immortals!
If even this most obsessive charm is determined by a good background, then what is the point of cultivating immortals!
When he reaches the fairyland, he will definitely find out whether there is reincarnation.

As Lan Daoren was thinking about this, he heard Xu Shun say, "I don't have the memory of the person I was before. I feel like a stranger came into this world with the memory of my previous life."

"Master, does this situation count as taking over another's body?"

Xu Shun told Lan Dao everything, and he was very confident in Lan Dao.

What bad intentions could a person who can eat three mouthfuls of meat and a pig head and wander around like a sly guy have?

What's more, compared with Master Lan, my cultivation level is probably that of a dog, or even greater than the gap between an ant and a human!

"Possessing someone else's body?" Taoist Lan looked at Xu Shun and laughed, "Could it be that you are some old demon pretending to be young here, my disciple?"

"Tell me your age now, maybe you are older than me!" he joked.

Xu Shun can see through Lan Daoren as a human being, but can't Lan Daoren see through Xu Shun as a human being?
In Lan Daoren's eyes, Xu Shun was a little abstract and his thinking was a little weird, but he was not a bad person and he was not a scheming person.

He is not good at pretending.

Getting along with people is like drinking water.

Whether it is cold or warm, you know it in your heart.

Lan Dao Ren could feel Xu Shun's trust in him, so he also trusted Xu Shun.

Between teacher and student, trust is a must.

"Master, is there a possibility? I was originally a lonely soul from outer space, and suddenly floated into this body, and then I came back to life." Xu Shun said seriously.

"Huh?" Lan Dao Ren continued to laugh, "Are you a person from heaven? A lonely soul from outer space?"

"You have a great imagination, my disciple!"

"Why don't you say you are a demon from outside the realm?"

"If you are a demon from outside the domain, I will..." Taoist Lan looked at the half-broken door of the dilapidated temple and said, "I will eat this broken door!"

"..."

Damn it, Master, if you want to eat the temple food, just say so!
