Chapter 2 True Spirit Root Nature

"The root nature is the foundation of practice, and it comes from the source of the true spirit. That source does not have the root nature, and no matter how hard you try, it will be vain."

Ancestor Hunkong smiled and said: "In this illusory world created by human thoughts, all existence is false, not even the true spirit, let alone the root nature? Look at the ancient illusion, Hongjun combined with the way of heaven, can't compete with the reality The world was crushed by a wisp of breath, and in an instant it returned to its original appearance, which was nothingness.”

The ancestor paused for a moment and then said: "My sect of the Immortal Family often has such means to create illusions and experience with disciples. In that illusion, you can gradually understand your true self, feel the true spirit, and touch your roots. Create a perfect foundation."

"However, there is a way to build the foundation of Taoism, but you have to rely on yourself for subsequent practice. As a master, it is indispensable to preach, teach, and resolve doubts. However, being a teacher cannot teach you the skills of being a teacher. I can only point you in the direction. . If you have a direction, you won’t run around like a headless fly.”

The ancestor's voice was long, and he said with a smile: "It is in this illusion, what you have experienced, that my teacher can reveal your true nature. The nature of your true nature is the path you want to take."

Zhao Yu was refreshed and said: "Master, please teach me!"

The ancestor nodded, tapped Zhao Yu's head three times with a green bamboo stick, and then smiled and said: "Although you touch the root nature in the illusion of Tianyan Mirror, you cannot clearly understand the root nature after all. If you understand the root nature clearly, you will be here In the real world, it’s time to become an immortal. But my master has a pair of Dharma eyes, but he can see it thoroughly.”

He said: "Your nature lies in time and space."

"Time and space?!"

Zhao Yu's expression changed.

"Of course." The ancestor smiled and said: "In that illusion, the transformed god can break through the void, so he can travel through the void without any hindrance. If there is no heavenly suppression in the illusion, he can even travel through the timeline. Because of this Above the Tao, as a teacher observing it, you have not immersed yourself too deeply.”

Zhao Yu couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed.

In the illusion of Tianyan Mirror, once you become a god, you can travel through the void. Because of this, it was like darkness under the lamp, so I never paid attention to it. Later on, as my cultivation deepened, any space was like a thin piece of paper and could be broken with a snap of a finger at any time, so I didn't care anymore.

Therefore, although Zhao Yu touched the root nature in the illusion, he did not understand the mystery of his own root nature.

At this time, listening to the ancestor's words, I couldn't help but have some enlightenment in my heart.

Asked: "Master, where should I start from now on?"

The mystery of this time and space is almost indescribable. It seems that it cannot be described in words. Zhao Yu actually doesn't know where to start.

Ancestor Hunkong laughed and said: "The physical body is the foundation of this wonderful practice. You must have a deep understanding in the illusion. Therefore, you know how to practice in the physical body."

Zhao Yu realized something: "There may be many fallacies in the exercises in the fantasy world when applied to the real world, but some of the principles may not be useless."

"That's well said." The ancestor touched his palm and said, "The various physical combat methods you practiced in that illusion were all evolved from your thoughts and the spiritual combination of the Tianyan Mirror. The Tianyan Mirror is the real world. The magic weapon, the trace of Taoism contained in its spirituality is naturally the Taoism of the real world. Therefore, many of the techniques and some of the principles are the same in the real world. You will know a lot in the illusion, you only need to combine them With the principles of the real world, one can easily explore and create physical combat methods that conform to the laws of the real world."

Zhao Yu suddenly understood and felt relieved.

He also asked: "The physical body is the foundation of spiritual practice, so how can I understand the mystery of time and space above the physical body?"

"This has to be said about your opportunity. I am amazed by it." Ancestor Hunkong said: "Speaking of it, if I don't come in person, I just send you a letter, and if you get it, Once you have created the Dao Foundation, you will be led to the mountain gate of Taihe Immortal Gate in the upper realm of Dharma Universe. But if this is the case, you will have lost the best opportunity."

"What's the explanation for this?" Zhao Yu asked doubtfully.

"The light of the universe is from the past to the present, and the universe is from the four directions up and down. However, regardless of the past and present, or the four directions up and down, its origin is a mystery that can be understood but cannot be expressed. The shortcut to understanding the wonders of time and space is to travel on the timeline of the same universe Only by traveling through and comparing spaces at different points in time can we find the characteristics of the universe and understand the truth."

The ancestor smiled and said: "If in the universe of law in the upper realm, the laws are strict and the great road is manifested, even if you are a teacher, you will not dare to travel through the time line. It is just like the chaotic universe in the illusion that is suppressed by the law of heaven. Once you travel through the time line at will, , you will be punished by heaven, which can range from having your roots shattered and cutting off your path forward, or at the most severe, your body and soul will disappear."

When Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath.

"My teacher said that your opportunity lies in this. The laws of the upper realm are strict and the Great Way is manifested, suppressing the uniqueness of time and space. But the countless ordinary universes under the Dharma Universe are ordinary. Because no matter how the ordinary universe changes, the Great Way is not It has no influence. The Dharma universe is the foundation. If the foundation is broken, nothing will exist. The ordinary universe is just branches and leaves. If one is broken and another one grows, it is irrelevant. Therefore, the Great Dao ignores it."

"If you use Pingyin to introduce you to the universe of the upper realm after the foundation of the Dao is completed, it will be difficult for you to realize the wonders of time and space. However, in this ordinary universe, they complement each other. Regardless of the Dao, you can travel at will It doesn't matter if you mess up this universe with time and space. Although the laws of the ordinary universe are superficial, it is a real universe after all, and the mysteries of time and space are real. As long as you enter the threshold of the way of time and space in this ordinary universe, and then enter the universe of laws. It’s not too late. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you get started, you will definitely be able to find your own path based on your nature.”

Zhao Yu couldn't help but nod his head as he listened.

The ancestor continued: "However, this time travel, even in the ordinary universe, after all, there are still some obstacles to the great road. Although the great road does not care and will not impose heavenly punishment, it is secretly recorded in the small book. So I have come to collect it for my master. You are a disciple, and it is a great opportunity."

The ancestor smiled, and with a flip of his hand, a round, gray orb appeared in his palm.

"This bead is called the Chaos Bead. Don't get it wrong. It's not the so-called Chaos Treasure you see in novels. It's just a bead condensed for the master. It's called Chaos because this bead can create chaos. Audio-visual, a small book that covers the great road. You refine this Chaos Bead, and when you travel through the real time and space of the mortal universe, you can obscure the record of the great road. Thereby cutting off the cause and effect."

Speaking of this, the ancestor sighed: "I condensed this treasure for my teacher, and I did it unintentionally. I once thought that if I could travel through time and space in the universe of law, it would be wonderful. Those who offended my ancestor, my ancestor Travel through time and space, find him when he was young, and kill them all. Unfortunately, I have tried so hard to find this orb, but it is useless in the upper world. If I dare to activate it, the warning signs in my heart will be as big as the sky. It will be suppressed by Da Dao in an instant."

"This bead can only be used in the mortal universe, but in the mortal universe, there is no fun in practicing as a teacher. It is just useless. I didn't expect that it would be used on you today. Could it be that there is some divine will in the world? ?!”

While speaking, the ancestor struck the Chaos Bead into the center of Zhao Yu's eyebrows with a snap of his fingers.

Zhao Yu felt a chill between his brows and realized that the Chaos Bead was already in his soul.

He touched the center of his eyebrows and said to his ancestor: "Master, I am in the illusion, and I am the only one who can become a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Even when I was a baby in the past, I was equally powerful and could not be transported through time and space. Kill. Is there something different about the illegal universe?"

The ancestor laughed loudly: "You are just a Taoist monk, what do you know? I am the only one, so why is it so difficult? I have been practicing as a master for countless years, and the only one who knows me is no more than a palm. Count. I haven’t reached that level yet. Naturally, my enemies don’t have that level either. If I can travel through time and space in the upper realm, I can naturally kill them!”

Zhao Yu suddenly said: "That's it."

Then he said: "But Master, even if there are Chaos Beads and Chaos Vision and Vision obscure the Dao. But I have just become the Dao Foundation, how can I travel through time and space?"

The ancestor picked up the green bamboo cane and knocked it on Zhao Yu's forehead: "Where are your ears? Didn't you hear me say that this orb was made for me to travel through time and space?!"

Zhao Yu couldn't help but turn red, a little nervous.

The ancestor glared at Zhao Yu: "My teacher has helped you refine this bead. It only takes a few days for you to get familiar with it before you know how to activate it. In that bead, there is a small world that can breed Yuan Qi. No matter where you practice, Or planting spiritual roots and spiritual grasses, both are satisfactory."

Then the ancestor sighed again: "It was hard to be a teacher back then. How can you be as happy as you are now?! Being a teacher is also a person in the universe. You have to get a letter and work hard to build the foundation of the Tao. You haven't had time to explain it to your blood relatives. , I was led to the upper world. My master, your master, and my master said three sentences. The first sentence told me that I had entered the Taihe Immortal Sect. The second sentence told me that I had to rely on myself to practice. The third sentence asked me to go to the Buddhist scripture world. Then he disappeared! It took tens of thousands of years to see him again!"

Ancestor Ku Daqiu Shen said: "Look at you, a master has personally created an illusion for you and cast a perfect Taoist foundation. He also gives you directions and gives you the magic weapon Chaos Bead! Why is there such a big gap between people!?"

The ancestor stared at Zhao Yu fiercely: "If I can't satisfy you next time, if I don't beat you until your face is full of tears, ancestor, I won't be Taoist Yuanxu who is just messing around!"

Zhao Yu was stunned.

"Master..."

"snort!"

Ancestor groaned, stood up, and glowing light appeared under his feet: "There is no fun in this universe. Ancestor, I'm leaving!"

Before he could finish his words, the ancestor quietly disappeared.

The lingering voice curled up at the end: "Disciple, you must know that to become an immortal, you must first be a human being. Only by being a good person can you be qualified to become an immortal. In the illusion, because you realize that you are a time traveler, you have a system around you, and you will be able to practice at the beginning. This is the supreme method. When you become an immortal, you are right at your feet. Unknowingly, you are isolating yourself from the world of humanity. Since you have practiced in the illusion, you have never completed the human realm. Fortunately, it is an illusion, otherwise how could you have achieved such a state? ! Now in the real world, the time and space you travel through are all real. You must keep it in mind. In the human world, it must be completed, otherwise the human world will not be completed, and the immortal road will not be completed. Those who should start a family should start a family, and those who should start a career should start a career. The seven emotions and six desires , all must be released, otherwise we will not be able to see the true spirit, and we will waste time and waste it as a handful of loess. Remember, remember!"
