Chapter 6 Tathagata Fetus (Please vote and read) A secret cave on a cliff in the mountains. In the hanging cave, Qiu Zhen slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. It was still night before the retreat, but now the sun is blazing high in the sky, and the warm sunlight shines deep into the cave. Soon, he thought of something. The first thing he did was to look at his hands, then look down at himself. A thorough inspection. No abnormalities were found in the body. It had neither limbs missing, nor was it like the monsters in miscellaneous books, with green faces, fangs, horns and tails, or some other abnormal body changes. With a thought, your hands and feet move freely.
There was no sign of a demon taking over the body or losing control of the body. It was as if nothing had ever happened. "Is this done?" Qiu Zhen muttered to himself, greatly surprised. According to the warnings given by Jin Bo and his group of "former masters", practicing this immortal method of Dan Dao is extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, one may die. He was prepared for the worst. In order to seek the truth, one puts life and death aside, and wishes to break through all fog and obstacles with fearlessness, and go through an unprecedented experience. However, things turned out to be beyond his expectations. After his eyes returned to the light and he entered a state of tranquility, he felt that his blood and qi flowed smoothly, his expression was happy, and his body and mind were comfortable, as if he was slightly drunk. It was as if he had just stepped out of the bath, his whole body filled with yang energy. The seven-foot body seems to be made of gold and piled with white jade. It will never collapse or decay. The body and mind are clear and extremely transparent. Afterwards, everything seemed quiet again, as if a huge sun had risen to the zenith and the earth was filled with brilliant golden light. Suddenly, in the boundless silence, the yang energy in his body began to grow, and a bit of innate true yang was born. The surroundings became a bright world, not afraid of any cold wind and frost. Life and death, separation, worries and pains, all turn into nothing. Each breath seemed to last a hundred years, delaying the cycle of life. At this moment, he seemed to have transcended the cycle of reincarnation. Unconsciously, he returned to his previous life - the metropolis with bright neon lights and rolling steel.
This feeling is very strange. However, he had a clear understanding that he came from here, but did not belong here. He was like God, standing proudly in the clouds and looking down at the vast earth. Watch the comings and goings of people and traffic in cities and towns; Witness the joys and sorrows, birth, aging, sickness and death of the world. Witness the rapid development of the times; The torrent rolls on and on. It was like a dream that lasted for a thousand years. "Whether it is successful or not, you can tell clearly by looking inside." There was a cave on the cliff. After careful consideration, Qiu Zhen quickly grasped the key. During this retreat, he was able to enter a state of tranquility through the practice of "returning the light to the inner self", and his eyes were able to look inward at his own body. This can be regarded as a gain from this retreat and will be of great benefit to his future practice. His eyes flickered with golden light as he looked inward at himself. Soon, Qiu Zhen showed a strange look on his face. Under Jinhua's eyes. He saw "himself" sitting cross-legged with his chest bare, sitting in the clouds, with his head bowed and eyes closed. There was golden light blooming around him, and he was surrounded by endless numbers and mysterious symbols. He seemed like an immortal Buddha, emitting a transcendent and sacred aura. What surprised Qiu Zhen even more was Behind "Xianfo Qiuzhen" is a neon-lit metropolis with people coming and going, full of vitality. "This" Qiu Zhen was dumbfounded and fell into deep thought. Rumor has it that Buddha has three bodies. That is, the Dharma body, the reward body, and the response body. Vairocana Buddha (Mahavairocana Tathagata) is the Dharmakaya Buddha, Vairocana Buddha is the Sambhogakaya Buddha, and Sakyamuni Buddha is the Nirmanakaya Buddha. The principles and dharma come together to form the dharmakaya. The Dharmakaya Buddha of Vairocana is the personified truth, the true source of life, the eighth consciousness which is self-sufficient, without beginning or end, immortal, neither coming nor going, capable of giving rise to all things and will never cease. It is also known as the Alaya consciousness and the Tathagata storehouse. The Tathagatagarbha contains the "fetus of the Tathagata". If you cultivate the eighth consciousness "Alaya consciousness" to a certain level, you can become a Buddha. In fact, the Dharmakaya, which has no beginning and no end, is the true source of human life. In Taoism, the Dharmakaya is called the primordial spirit, and the "Tathagatagarbha" is called the "body outside the body." All living things are born with a soul, but ordinary people cannot awaken it. Only those who have reached a high level of spiritual attainment can awaken the soul. The sudden method of alchemy that Qiu Zhen practiced was to reach the sky in one step. He did not proceed step by step from cultivating the Yin Spirit to the Yuan Spirit, but directly started from cultivating the "Yuan Spirit", the original source of life that people already have. In other words, the "Immortal Buddha Qiu Zhen" that appears before his eyes in the "last moments of reflection" is the Dharma body transformed from his primordial spirit, his "Tathagatagarbha" and "body outside the body". However, unlike the legendary "Dharmakaya Yuanshen" of immortals and Buddhas, his Yuanshen stood in the neon-lit city of his past life, surrounded by infinite numbers and various mysterious symbols. "My goodness, what kind of cyber soul is this, cyber dharmakaya?" Qiu Zhen was extremely surprised. The image of his primordial spirit and Dharma body would probably be extremely explosive and wild if placed in the ancient world of immortal cultivation.
But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it made some sense. "Primordial Spirit" is the most original life of every living being, which is innate and unique. He realized his past life's destiny and realized that his "primordial spirit" was the "projection" of his circumstances and state of mind. This strange scene was unexpected, but also reasonable. "No, is it true?" Qiu Zhen, who was overjoyed, might have thought of something and frowned. It seems that the predecessors who left messages in Jinbo said so. The world has changed drastically. Now is the Dharma Ending Age. If you are not careful, you will turn into a demon or evil spirit, which is extremely dangerous. "Hundred Days of Foundation Building" is the most critical step in the cultivation process. If it goes so smoothly, could it be dangerous? Could it be that the "Qiu Zhen Cyber Dharmakaya" that he saw through his inner gaze was not the "primordial spirit" or "natural Dharmakaya" at all, but an illusion created by the devil to confuse him, let him relax his vigilance, and fall into the devil's realm step by step? "That's a problem." Reason poured a bucket of water on him. Thinking of this, Qiu Zhen's excitement and joy faded a little. However, he did not feel any fear or terror. there is always a solution to a problem. No matter whether "Qiu Zhen's Dharma Body" is the incarnation of the primordial spirit or a demon, it is not a problem as long as the situation is not irreversible. At that moment, he became interested again. He took out the "golden silk" from his arms and threw it into the clear water that had accumulated in the pit in the cave in the past, intending to observe the subsequent methods in the gold silk. Gold and silk fell into the water, splashing water. However, the golden scene he imagined did not happen. The golden silk turned into an ordinary piece of brocade, nothing special about it anymore. "Never mind. It's already a great fortune to have this opportunity. One should not be too greedy." Qiu Zhen was not too disappointed. After building the foundation of the divine alchemy method in Jinbo for 100 days, one can switch from the "sudden method" of alchemy to the "gradual method" and practice martial arts life skills, which is also the only way to become an immortal. Without the follow-up method of Jinbo, it would be no hindrance for him to look for opportunities outside. "I don't know what use it will have if I awaken the spirit." Qiu Zhen couldn't help but feel excited and began to meditate again. (End of this chapter)
