143. Many white lotus in ancient and modern times

Baimao once suggested sending some people to join the parish organization in the name of believers to collect the most basic information and also prepare for the future. Liu Peifeng and the Black Dragon Gang have already arranged this work, otherwise there would be no incident of priest signing prostitutes and the statue of the Holy Mother being stolen, but there is no access to high-level information for the time being.

Bai Mao gave him two more ideas: one was to buy some members of the Holy Seek who were close to the core but in a bad situation, such as the priest of the former Uyou diocese, Sheikh. The other was to secretly kidnap the core members of the Uyou diocese to torture the confession. With Xiaobai's empathy and his spiritual power, he would definitely take out all the secrets he knew. Bai Shaoliu did not fully agree with such suggestions, but was also considering that it was not a good time to start recently.

Xiaobai has not been idle these days, and has been practicing Huaiqiu's practice of the "White Lotus Platform" method recorded in the "Secret Book of White Lotus". This fundamental method has seven levels of realms: "name", "observation of images", "wonderful thoughts", "reality", "ascending the seat", "lotus", and "mitabha". This classic originates from the Buddhist Pure Land Sect, but it also combines many practice methods circulating among the people. In addition to the fundamental method, there are many application methods, such as building the White Lotus Pure Land Cave.

The first level of "name" is also called "reciting the name". On the one hand, it refers to the ritual of introductory acceptance of precepts, and on the other hand, it is also the introductory practice of mind and nature, which regulates the light of the Pure Land in the mind.

The second level of "observing images" is a method of observing the mind. Maitreya is always in the mind, and the spiritual consciousness is refined.

The third level of "wonderful thought" is another state of mind. The pure spiritual consciousness emerges from the meditation, and the wonderful world of Lotus Flowers appears.

The fourth level of "reality" is achieved through the state of meditation and contemplation, and has the magical power and magic power to subdue magic power, magic power to subdue external demons, and concentration power to subdue inner demons. At this point, it can be said to be a great success. You can give other disciples some introductions.

The fifth level of "Star" is also called "right name". On the one hand, it means that you can be reborn in the Pure Land through great success in your practice. On the other hand, it also means that the body and mind are cleansed inside and outside, and that the lotus is pure, which is opposite to the first level of "name" realm and gains true interest.

The sixth level "Lotus" is also called "establishing one's body". Simply put, it means to cultivate the incarnation of lotus and immortality. Standing on the human world is the Pure Land. Observing the image without attachment to the appearance and enters the self-image, which is opposite to the second level "establishing the image", and the method you observe has become the body of the true self-image.

The seventh level "Amitabha" is the saying "Amitabha" that has been circulated among the people since ancient times, and it is also the so-called "Maitreya is born". Of course, from the perspective of the state of cultivation, it does not mean that Maitreya's mother gave birth to him, but that it is able to show the twelve-grade lotus platform to transform into the world. The lotus world in the third level "wonderful thought" is transformed from one's own heart to present the world... and then the specific explanation can only be understood.

This is the fundamental practice method recorded in the highest classic of the White Lotus Sect, "The Secret Book of White Lotus". I would like to say a few more words about the White Lotus Sect. It originated from the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism. If you talk about the state of practice, you will naturally have a high level. But have you discovered that in addition to the practice method, there is also the doctrine of Maitreya to save the world. As long as it is slightly compiled, it can become a slogan of action or even a political program. Those who have obtained it since ancient times may not be able to reach the state of "lotus" and "mitabha" in their lifetime, but they are often used for other purposes.

What purpose? This doctrine can be misinterpreted as the best call for gathering people to promote righteousness. In history, some people used the name of the White Lotus Sect or similar doctrines of the White Lotus Sect. There were more than one incident of rebellion or gathering people to claim honor. Successful people included Zhu Kuangwu, the emperor of the founding dynasty, and the losers were Hong Hequan, who died under Bai Shaoliu. Now that the "Secret Book of White Lotus" fell into Bai Shaoliu's hands, he didn't think so, but just regarded it as a practice book.

It has to be said that the master who founded this method is very amazing. These seven levels are in harmony with the seventh level of heavenly desire, body experience, demonic realm, false mind, true emptiness, bone change, and sea of ​​suffering that practitioners must experience. The so-called heavenly tribulation is various physical and mental tests. The tests faced by disciples in each sect and law are different, but they cannot avoid these seven types, but they are just different for different people.

Then in the "Purifying White Lotus Platform", the seven-level heavenly tribulations are included in the seven stage realms. Every time you reach a level of realm, you must go through a test. Moreover, the heavenly tribulations in the practice of this Taoism do not come suddenly, but must always face them in the process of practice until the first level of realm is broken through, which is a typical gradual cultivation and sudden enlightenment.

The "White Lotus Purification Platform" method may be difficult to understand, and there are also ways to understand it conveniently, ignore all terms or religious doctrines, and recall Bai Shaoliu's practice so far-reaching-

Xiaobai started practicing Taoism from Qingchen learning "the combination of form and spirit", and cultivated "the unity of form and spirit" and built the foundation. Later, he met Bai Hair and became accustomed to "returning the soul and immortal dream", "view of life and death", "internal shooting and internal environment and external feelings", etc., collectively known as "view of desire and mind", and also mastered the "interpretation of empathy and opening the door", "immunity control", "immunity control", "immunity control", "immunity control" and other application magic. After the completion of the view of desire and mind control, its realm is equivalent to reaching the fourth level of "reality" in the Pure White Lotus Platform. The methods are different but the realm is similar.

Baimao said that he should guide Xiaobai to take a shortcut that seems to be a detour. Xiaobai's practice is extremely fast. At this point, he can directly practice the mantras and mental methods of "reality", and at the same time experience the heavenly disaster of the false mind. In this process, his magic power and concentration power have increased greatly, and the condition is to pass the test of the false mind at the same time.

Bai Shaoliu has been sitting in Huaiqiu for the past few days and practicing the White Lotus Purification Platform. At the same time, he asked Jiu Jingang and others to arrange this temple according to Bai Mao's instructions. Wu Tong was also sitting in Huaiqiu, and Xiaobai asked him to come here to practice swords every night, mainly practicing the way of controlling weapons.

Through the last battle of Qixianling, Xiaobai discovered that Wu Tong's fighting skills were flawed. With the speed and strength of the werewolf, he could get out immediately when he was attacked, but if he wanted to protect Eva from being trapped, he was passive. He had no means of long-range attack except speed and swordsmanship. So in the past few days, he guided Wu Tong to practice swords and practiced two moves. One is the powerful arc slash of the cross sword, and the other is the flying sword killing technique that takes off his hands to control the sword. It can be regarded as a combination of both the east and the west.

Xiaobai hasn't been home for a week, and he only remotely controls Wu You's situation in Huaiqiu. Wu Tong secretly goes to Qixianling to inspect every day. He leaves Huaiqiu for a while every morning and evening, and finds a quiet place to call his home to report his safety. Zhuang Ru and Qingchen at home, including Huang Jing downstairs, miss him very much, but Xiaobai doesn't plan to go back for the time being. In a turbulent autumn, he doesn't want to involve the people he cares about, especially Qingchen who has not fully recovered his magic power.

In terms of realm, practicing the White Lotus Purification Platform has not yet broken through the "reality", but with the help of the star marrow, the magic power and concentration have improved rapidly. In addition, Xiaobai is also studying other magic tricks. He has been thinking that the sneak attacker on Qixianling that day would fly, so he can't stop him. Not only that magic master, Gu Ying can fly when he uses the three crystals to form a formation to protect his body, but the third young master will also fly, but he just won't. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to meet such an opponent in the future? He can walk from the sky, but he can only stare at him.

He asked Baimao: "With my practice, when will I be able to fly to the sky?"

Baimao gave him a blank look: "It will be fine if you break through the fifth level of the "establishing one's body" of the White Lotus Platform, and enter the sixth level of the "Lotus Flower".

Bai Shaoliu: "I have not yet broken through the fourth level of 'reality', so when will I have to wait?"

Baimao: "You are not an impatient person? How can you ask such a question? You have been practicing less than a year now, and the view of desire and mind has been greatly improved, fast enough. But it is impossible to control the weapon so quickly, even if I couldn't. Even if you have the blessings of your previous life, it would not be so easy to practice in this life! ... If you really want to control the weapon so much, there is a cheap way."

Bai Shaoliu's eyes lit up: "What method?"

Baimao pretended to be deep and said: "The Great Technique of the White Lotus Platform is similar to the view of desire that you have practiced before. Each level has the three levels of state of "can enter", "can guard", and "can break". As long as your 'reality' step reaches the point of knowing the constant and being able to guard, holding the palace-stopping artifact of the Forgetful Heavenly Palace to present the wind or swing the cloud staff, you can control the wind and fly around the world."

Bai Shaoliu: "How can I get the palace-stopping artifact of the Forgetful Heaven Palace?"

Baimao smiled: "You can steal it. If your cultivation reaches the highest level of 'Amitabha' in the Great Dharma of Jingbai Lotus Platform, you can try it, but it's just a try and it may not be able to steal it."

Bai Shaoliu reached out and slapped the donkey: "So you are playing tricks on me!"

Baimao: "I'm not trying to trick you, I want to tell you a truth. You can use power and scheming methods to act in the world, but there is no way to make tricks and speculation in the realm of practice. When you meet me, you have already taken a shortcut, what else do you want to do?... By the way, why do you suddenly want to ask this question?"

Bai Shaoliu: "It's not because of the master Qixianling that day, I have no way to go when he flew into the sky."

Baimao: "That's it, let me think about it... Don't you have a beast lock ring and a demon-blocking rope? If someone flies up, you just lock it down! Now you can use these two magic weapons at your level. As for the effect, it depends on your magic power and concentration. Otherwise, even if you are not as good as a human, it will be useless."

Baimao's words reminded Xiaobai that the two magic weapons have not been used to study the wonderful uses. It seems that the magic weapons are just like women. There are too many magic weapons and they can't take care of them. Star marrow is used every day, and moistening branches are indispensable when building a temple. Ruan Yanluo is taking time to refine them and prepare to defend Luo Xi in the future. He really has no time to study the beast locking ring and the demon-blocking rope. So he took out these two magic weapons to study with Baimao.

The demon-blocking rope is very similar to the immortal-bound rope in mythology and legend, and has the magical function of fixing the body and binding the shape; the magical function of the beast-locking ring is very similar to the tight-knot curse in mythology and legend, which locks a person's magical power, and the more you cast the spell, the greater the power. These two magical tools can be used separately, but when they are refined, they are formed in one form, and the best combination is used together. When used, they are sacrificed with magical power, lock it with concentration, and control the opponent with the power of the large block of shape.

If you don’t know how to control the form, you can’t use these two magic weapons. The power of locking beasts and blocking monsters comes not only from the caster himself. As for how powerful it is, it depends on the user’s mana and concentration. Not everyone can take it. If Xiaobai wants to test its magical use, Wu Tong suffered a lot.

What's the matter with Wu Tong? Someone must do experiments when locking beasts and stopping monsters. If you can't find a master of flying, you will let Wu Tong jump down from the top of Huaiqiu again and again. Although the werewolf can't fly, he can jump far from the top of the mountain, faster than the birds, and is a good simulated opponent. Xiaobai stood in the valley to sacrifice the beast lock ring and the demon-blocking rope. This weapon can turn the real into virtual and then transform the virtual into real, changing various shapes, locking Wu Tong in the sky again and again. When recycling, he accidentally controls it, and often throws Wu Tong into dirt.

In fact, when it comes to flying opponents, you can find Gu Ying to test it, but how can Xiaobai be so embarrassed? It is okay to find Qingchen to leap from the peak. She is better than Wu Tong, but how can Xiaobai bear it? Only Wu Tong is unlucky to make contributions. Fortunately, the werewolf has strong skin, flesh and bones, so there is no big problem.

It's not a big problem, but it's enough to suffer. Wu Tong started to complain the next day after the experiment: "Mr. Bai, can we take a break? If you continue practicing, I will be thrown apart by you."

Bai Shaoliu shook his head: "You can bear it again. I haven't mastered the magical use of the artifacts yet. When I am proficient, I won't fall down. We will not stop others. What should I do if we meet a flying master next time?"

Wu Tong: "I don't understand. There are so many experts in the world, why are we the only ones busy here?"

Bai Shaoliu said seriously: "How do you know that other masters have not done anything? They will only do more than you and me. It's just that you and I don't know what they have done. Do they still have to go to the TV and newspapers? Do you still have to report to you and me?... Do your own thing well, this is the key to practice, so let's not complain."

Wu Tong: "I'm not complaining, but the situation in Wuyou is not good now. We are not the opponent of the Holy See. I heard that they are coming to two top masters, how about Kunlun practitioners…"

Bai Shaoliu interrupted him: "Would you use your brain? They are not here to fight, but to deal with matters within the Holy See. The Pope has long written a book and issued an edict to calm the dispute with the Kunlun practice world. No one wants to have a world war. Do you think that countless casualties and injuries are fun? How can you know that it is not you who die!"

Wu Tong: "But something happened to Heinte and Eva, they have been in trouble with Mr. Feng."

Bai Shaoliu: "The victims were all the people of the Holy See, and what can others know and say? As for Mr. Feng, no one dared to attack him directly. For example, the masters in Qixianling did not dare to plot against Mr. Feng and just made tricks behind his back. He couldn't explain his personal grudges with Avtena, and no one could openly have a full-scale conflict over this matter in the name of the Holy See or Kunlun cultivation world. Otherwise, why would you give me so many magic weapons?"

Wu Tong: "Mr. Bai, I'm worried about you. If there is a peerless master who is secretly doing bad things, we may not be able to deal with them. These magic weapons are not easy to get."

Bai Shaoliu nodded slightly: "What you said is not unreasonable. I should have informed the leader of Mei, but now there is no need. The news that the leader of Mei and a group of senior Kunlun masters are not in Zhixu Kingdom. The two masters of the Holy See left Gambidex to Wuyou must have known it earlier than me... I already knew the meaning of the leader of Mei and others. They are theirs and I am mine in Wuyou. He ignores the news to make it more convenient for me to act."

Wu Tong: "Then do you think Alliance Leader Mei and others will come to Wu Youlai?"

Bai Shaoliu: "If it were me, I'm afraid I won't."

Wu Tong asked in confusion: "Why?"

Bai Shaoliu: "Would you know some strategy? If those two masters don't come well, why should they chase Wuyou from thousands of miles away? As long as there is something happening near the Holy See, the Pope will definitely recall the master of his family when he panics. At that time, even if he is robbed and killed halfway, it will be better than Wuyou."

Wu Tong: "Although this is better, Mr. Bai's situation in Wuyou is more troublesome."

Bai Shaoliu sighed and said, "This is Mr. Feng's test, and it is also mine. Who has no trouble? The world should not only revolve around someone... But don't worry, it's hard for others to say that there is a peerless master in Kunlun cultivation world who will definitely come to Wuyou."

Wu Tong: "Who?"

Bai Shaoliu: "The head of Haitian Valley, Canglang Hero Yu Cangwu, is Qingchen's teacher, but he does not admit that he is Qingchen's official master. But Wang Boqian is a disciple of Haitian Valley, and was sent to Wuyou by Yu Daxia himself. It is impossible for the master of Yu Daxia to know for so many days. Besides, I had told Feishui Zhiweilou Chen Yan yesterday... Yu Daxia should have arrived at Wuyou. He has to have reasons, but he doesn't know when."

Wu Tong praised: "Mr. Bai, you are so tall. You can see everything so thoroughly in your eyes. I admire you! I admire you!"

Xiaobai smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this. Now that he listened to the donkey nagging in his ears every day, it was really hard not to understand many troubles. However, although he thought that Yu Cangwu would come to Wu You, he did not expect that Yu Cangwu would come to Wu You first wanted to find his troubles from Bai Shaoliu. This is something I will not mention later.

Dempredo, the dean of the Supreme Seminary of Gambides, who was respected in the Holy See, came to Zhixu Kingdom in early June. He brought the Pope's edict to canonize Ruz as the Archbishop of Zhixu Kingdom on behalf of the Holy See. Dempredo will arrive on June 4 and hold the canonization ceremony. On the morning of June 3, Fudimo finally "healed" Adilo's injury.

Luz told Adilo to meet Avtena, and said that Avtena was waiting for him and would bring him back when he saw him. After Adilo was grateful, Luz asked Fudimo in the secret room: "Magic teacher, how did you heal his wounds?"
