Chapter 60: No Self, No Birth, No Death in Eight Directions
Two years later.
Outside Yandu.
The two teams that had been prepared for a long time met.
On the battlefield where the troops were ready, flags were flying and the two armies faced each other.
The sergeants were at odds with each other, as if they were ready to fight with their lives for their monarch in the next second.
But in the sky above the battle formation between the two armies, there were four figures sitting together to discuss.
Behind the four figures was a female Mi who followed the two armies in battle and a disciple of Huangtian Pavilion in Fuxian Pavilion.
These four figures are naturally Lin Xiao, Cuiyun Lake God and the two souls of Fuxian Tower and Huangtian Pavilion.
The name of the soul in Fuxian Pavilion is Lou Cheng, and the name of Huangtian Pavilion is Yan Wan.
In fact, when you reach the realm of Yuanshen, you rarely fight between life and death. In other words, in this world, there are basically very few people who fight between life and death.
Usually the big one bullies the small ones.
The four of them were arguing about the final ownership of the Emperor of Yan, but they were not entirely arguing about the ownership of the emperor.
After all, what is fundamentally fought for is profit.
It doesn't matter who the emperor is.
But how to divide the vacated divine positions along the way after the defeat of Yan State, and how to divide the positions in the spiritual realm within Yan State in the future.
They are much more important than an emperor.
It is true that the emperor's position is the most suitable for intercepting luck, but the most suitable is not the only one.
Two plus one makes five, if one is missing or the other is missing, there are only a few of them in the Yuanshen realm in the entire Yan Kingdom, and they can't be divided no matter what.
As expected by Lin Xiao, Numi and the God of Cuiyun Lake clung to the throne and refused to let go, and they paid a lot for it.
Now the dispute is about the location of the newly established Taoist temple and the inspectorate in Ling territory.
Of course, they do not have the ability to accept their fate directly for these positions, but these two sects are local sects in Yan State, and they can definitely send a large number of disciples to fight for them.
The final result is actually not much different.
After the first disciple enters, the resistance will be much smaller if he wants to enter later.
Even if the resistance to entry is the same, at least there is someone in the court who is easy to work with and can be more or less a helper.
Even if there is no support, just coming from the same sect, this is a relationship.
Officials in the mortal world are divided into factions because of their hometown, the same scientific examination, the same official position under a certain adult, etc.
What's more, even if they are monks from the same sect, even if they serve as officials in the court, their first allegiance is to the sect and not to the divine court.
The Taoist Academy is designed to solve this problem. The monks trained by the Taoist Academy do not belong to any sect.
But the Taoist Academy was first established. In other words, the teachers in the Taoist Academy still came from various sects.
So it can be seen that these places will be the stage for various factions to compete in the future.
However, Lin Xiao only had Qingfeng as his disciple, so he didn't want to and couldn't send him to fight for these things.
So I directly made it clear to a few people that they would not need to be considered for the division of this part.
The four of them sat in the cloud and drank tea, and the subsequent division was finalized.
Not all warring countries ended as quickly as the Yan State, because not all countries were as small as the Yan State.
Although the division has been completed, there is still a fight to be fought.
Because not only does it take a battle to determine whether each other is really qualified to participate in the division, but also because other people are watching this battle.
These people are the various demon cultivators who have been following not far from the battlefield.
Whenever there is a war, these demonic cultivators are like vultures who have noticed the smell of blood, standing not far away and waiting for the corpses to appear.
Of course, if both sides suffer losses, they don't mind creating corpses themselves.
The Taoist soldiers prepared by both sides fought against each other, and the killing intent and blood and the souls of the corpses left behind were actually to feed these demonic cultivators.
In the future, when there is peace, whether these demonic cultivators will be peaceful or not depends on whether they have eaten enough this time.
This is an unwritten unspoken rule.
When they are full, they can kill the pig and debone it.
If you don't eat enough, most of it will become the inspector's performance.
In most of the cases of the Inspectorate during the peace years, except for those who accidentally turned into demons and did not know the majesty of heaven, it was these demonic cultivators who were unwilling to be lonely.
The four of them looked at each other, left the top of the cloud together, and headed straight out of the Gangfeng layer.
You can leave the Gangfeng layer when you reach the Yuanshen realm, but outside the Gangfeng layer is the starry sky, and beyond the starry sky is inner chaos.
The Yuanshen monks have no ability to resist the inner chaos, and the starry sky is said to be the domain of an ancient true immortal.
Except for some monks who are not very well-off and want to hunt for treasures in the stars, generally no one takes the initiative to enter it.
As soon as the four of them entered the Gangfeng layer, they separated.
Lin Xiao and Cuiyun Lake God stood together, while Lou Cheng and Yan Wan stood together.
Both sides took action almost at the same time.
Lin Xiao divided the space as soon as he took action, dividing Lou Cheng and himself into one space.
When Cuiyun Lake God and Yan Wan took action, it could be seen that one was a water god and the other was an immortal monk.
But both of them were covered in sandalwood scents, accompanied by the singing of divine music and spirits.
Huang Tiange is one of the rare monks in the Immortal Way who uses the power of incense to enter the Tao. His movements are very similar to those of gods.
As for the Fuxian Tower that Lin Xiao faced, he entered the Tao through music.
I saw Lou Cheng summoning his natal magic weapon, the Jade Liuxian Qin, and gently stroking the strings.
In an instant, the sound of the piano sounded from Lin Xiao's heart.
Before this, Lin Xiao had already arranged a spatial isolation between himself and Lou Cheng. Although the sound of the piano did not cross the spatial barrier, it was transmitted to Lin Xiao's heart through Lin Xiao's vision.
But the moment the piano sounded, Lin Xiao immediately blocked off the space again.
Then he grabbed the jade dust and brushed it hard. The dust was thrown on the space that blocked Lou Cheng, and the space that Lin Xiao had locked like frosted glass was immediately thrown out.
Like a ball that was blown away, it slid along the space channel and flew hundreds of thousands of miles away.
But even though Lou Cheng was thrown away, the annoying sound of the piano still didn't stop.
It was still echoing in Lin Xiao's heart, and even started to become stronger and stronger.
Lin Xiao felt that if it was not dealt with, Lou Cheng would soon be able to return with the help of the music in Lin Xiao's body.
"trouble."
Although he was slandering in his heart, Lin Xiao did not dare to neglect.
"There is no self in all directions."
The eight directions are up, down, east, west, south, and north plus the gate of life and the position of death, which are all directions in the spatial sense.
Adding the past and future together, it becomes the ten directions representing all directions in the world.
Being selfless in all directions means detaching yourself from all directions for a short period of time.
Not here, not there.
Neither life nor death.
At that moment, Lin Xiao was neither here nor there, but this was the other.
It is to detach oneself and to integrate oneself.
Be integrated into the eight directions of the world.
Lin Xiao deduced it from his own Tao Transformation Tribulation. There is actually no difference between Lin Xiao and Huandao who entered this state.
