"Then why do the meridians in the novel say they will shrink?"
"That's because the meridians shrink on their own due to various reasons. When a person is born, the meridians are the strongest when he is just born, and the meridians carry a lot of innate energy. The way of heaven is fair, and everyone is given the same resources at the beginning.
It’s the same. But as people age, they don’t exercise the meridians or use the innate Qi. The meridians feel that they are useless, so they cut themselves out and only spread them throughout the body to maintain the body’s operation.”
"So you can become stronger if you exercise?"
"You said it yourself? Don't talk about meridians, muscles, brainpower or even skills. Which exercise will not make you stronger?"
"What about the four-dimensional space? If the meridians are in a high-dimensional space, they will also shrink?"
"Cultivation is actually about transforming into higher dimensions. And low dimensions can transform into high dimensions, and high dimensions can naturally degenerate into low dimensions." The Taoist Master made a back and forth stretching gesture.
"Isn't the purpose of practicing to escape from the Three Realms and the Five Elements? Isn't it to become an immortal and achieve the Tao?" I think of the words in Journey to the West.
"In what dimension are the Three Realms and the Five Elements? According to Taoism, the Three Realms are the three realms of heaven, earth, and man. The Five Elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The Five Elements constitute all things, and all things grow in the Three Realms. This is the reason why we have to jump out. It's a small matter.
To transcend life and death, or to be beyond the control of reincarnation, is to not work hard in this dimension. To become an immortal is to leave this dimension, and to attain the Tao is to understand the truth about all things in the world."
"...Taoist Master, this is really shocking." What he said made me want to attain Taoism right away. Who doesn't want to live forever or be free from control, but becoming an immortal is difficult, and jumping dimensions doesn't seem that complicated as it sounds.
"Don't think twice. It's not easy to become an immortal. Is it easy to jump out of this dimension? These are just different terms and explanations. It does not mean that one is difficult and the other is easy."
"So today Wanling said that they are creatures from other dimensions? How to explain this?" There is no reason why bacteria and viruses can do it easily.
"It's hard to say. Have humans defeated the virus? Not to mention humans, there are still sick people who have become immortals or demon elites. Why? Some things cannot be explained by our dimension."
"Then how did they jump from other dimensions to our third dimension?"
"The key to moving from low dimensions to high dimensions is to remove the shackles. Boy, every dimension has its focus, and this focus is the shackles that restrict it from changing dimensions. For example, from two dimensions to three dimensions, the main limitation is height, that is,
It is three-dimensional, and the key to entering the third dimension into the fourth dimension is time. Why are immortals, gods, and Buddhas immortal? Because time is no longer useful to us. In fact, the operation of the meridians has no time limit, regardless of the self-contraction of the meridians.
, the age of the meridians of a born baby and a dying old man does not change, and they can also perfectly control the body. Therefore, the meridians are also a breakthrough point for human beings from three dimensions to four dimensions."
I held my head, and I really started to have a headache. This completely messed up my thinking, "Taoist Priest, you suddenly used today's popular terms to explain ancient practice. I'm really a little bit broken."
"What is modernity? What is ancient times? Boy, you are still blind. Didn't ancient people study the changes in the universe? Don't modern people need to practice the essence of ancient thoughts? Use ancient and modern times to distinguish knowledge and truth.
It is itself a yoke of time.”
"Yes, I can understand that there is actually no difference between ancient times and modern times, but I was a little shocked." Human beings' inertial thinking is not easy to change.
"You must first understand the effects of time and space on the three-dimensional world before you can fight and eliminate these effects. Otherwise, how can you practice? We meditate for months, or even years, and time has no impact on us.
Now. You can understand the truth that one day in the mountain means thousands of years in the world, and you are just qualified to ascend to immortality. Then there is space. You said Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun, and his Dharma shadow is everywhere in the world, as well as Master Guanyin.
, chanting a Dharma chant has the ability to help people solve their problems. Are they affected by space? Of course, this has the effect of wishing, but achieving the effect through wishing is also a manifestation of becoming an immortal. They have combined the three-dimensional and
The four dimensions have been mastered very accurately.”
"Aren't there less and less efficacious things nowadays?" I found a loophole in the long story.
"That's because of the exhaustion of the will power. In fact, most of the gods in the upper world have discovered this. Especially in the east, we have been severely impacted by the monotheistic religions in the west. We are also afraid that one day the Chinese people will even forget their ancestors, so those of us
People will be bound by space and time again. Although they may be able to escape the shackles of time, the three-dimensional and four-dimensional channels will be completely isolated, and it will be difficult to come back to help the people. Secondly, the faith is impure. You said now
How many of those who pray to gods and Buddhas do not seek wealth or power? Desires are unlimited. Are they really only satisfied with good health and family peace? Desires are getting bigger and bigger. If one is satisfied, the other will be desired, so now
The world doesn't dare to meet anyone's demands casually. It only dares to save people in danger, but it doesn't dare to add icing on the cake."
"So becoming an immortal isn't that comfortable."
"Actually, yes, especially those blessed by great will power. To use an inappropriate metaphor, the wish power is just some medicine in your world. Take it, it will hurt your body, but don't take it, it is really effective." Taoist priest.
Started chewing his teeth again.
"Let's go back to the dimension. You just said that the meridians are the key to promotion to the dimension. So how to promote?"
"Boy, when you save others, you first save yourself. You should also read the Huangting Jing. You can also read the Huangdi Inner Canon and the Outer Canon. First have a systematic understanding of the meridians, and then develop your own potential, and then cooperate with the supplement of Tao power to improve your mood.
If you improve, you can naturally move towards another dimension, that is, another realm. Don’t be too hasty. If you don’t understand theory, how can you move towards reality?”
"I have heard of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. What is the Outer Canon?"
"The Yellow Emperor's Wai Jing talks about the application of the Inner Jing. The inner Jing can help oneself and the outer Jing can help others. Has it been lost? Have you never heard of it?"
"No, it seems to have been lost a long time ago. You have been practicing in society, don't you know?"
"...You allow me to make calculations."
Taoist Master Jue Xing closed his eyes, pinched his hands and started counting. I have never understood this magical skill. When he woke up later, I asked him how to count. It was so easy. What's the point?
