Chapter 297 Visualization Picture


    Ink Hua couldn''t help but open her mouth wide.


    He didn''t expect that the world of cultivation was so big and there were so many monks, and he would still be lucky enough to become the first person to take the lead.


    Mo Hua was confused. He didn''t want to eat crabs. He had no lessons from the past. Once the method was inappropriate, he would have a bad stomach.


    "What should I do?" Mo Hua asked, "One day, my sea of ??consciousness is eroded by evil thoughts, and I lose my true intentions, and I really become a cannibalist."


    Mr. Zhuang glanced at Mo Hua, "Don''t worry too much. You have eaten all the living little ghosts. What do some distracting thoughts after death count?"


    "You are at most..." Mr. Zhuang thought for a while, and said, "Eat without melting."


    "Eat without melting..." Mo Hua thought for a while and then understood.


    “Is it indigestion?”


    Mr. Zhuang nodded, "You are right to say that."


    Mo Hua felt relieved and asked other questions again:


    "Sir, how did the visualization diagram come from? Also, you said that the visualization diagram contains danger. Is this a vicious ghost among them? Is it the ''non-human'' way you mentioned? Are there such a vicious ghost in all visualization diagrams? What should I do if I encounter it again in the future?"


    The sound of ink painting is crisp, and I asked a long list in one breath.


    Mr. Zhuang couldn''t help but rub his forehead.


    There is a clever disciple who is also a little troublesome. If you turn your mind quickly, you will have many questions, and it is difficult to answer.


    Mr. Zhuang thought about it and decided to start with the most basic ones, so he asked about ink painting:


    "All the extraordinary powers of monks rely on the three. Do you know what these three are?"


    "Is it spiritual consciousness, spiritual power and physical body?" Mo Hua replied.


    Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Yes, any ability of a monk is based on his spiritual consciousness, spiritual power and physical body."


    "Martial arts use spiritual power to stimulate the body, spells use spiritual consciousness to condense spiritual power, formations use spiritual consciousness to communicate the way of heaven, and array patterns to transmit spiritual power. This is generally the case in other categories of cultivation, but the emphasis is different."


    "If you encounter any strange, absurd and bizarre things in the world of cultivation in the future, if you cannot figure it out and have no clue, you can consider them from these three categories."


    Ink painting suddenly realized.


    "The little ghost in the visualization picture has no physical body or spiritual power. Is it a pure divine thought, or is it a simple power of spiritual consciousness?"


    "Yes." Mr. Zhuang said, "In other words, the so-called visualization diagram is just a medium that carries the spiritual consciousness. What the diagram carries is the spiritual consciousness that some monks have retained by fate, or some non-human things, or the spiritual thoughts that are born by chance."


    "These consciousnesses or divine thoughts are often called evil things or ghosts."


    Mo Hua asked, "Can these evil things and ghosts eat them?"


    Mr. Zhuang knocked Mo Hua''s little head, "Don''t eat greedy, think about eating everything."


    Mo Hua smiled embarrassedly.


    Mr. Zhuang warned: "These evil things and ghosts are also different from strength to strength. The green-faced ghost you encounter happens to be weak, so you can eat it. If you encounter a strong person, you don''t know who will eat who."


    "How strong can you be?" Mo Hua was a little curious.


    A deep fear flashed in Mr. Zhuang''s eyes and said solemnly:


    “It’s terrible.”


    The ink painting also looked shaky.


    Even the mysterious Mr. Zhuang feels terrible?


    Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting and thought for a moment, but still thought it would be better to remind the ink painting first.


    Originally, the realm of ink painting was low and he could not touch these far from being able to touch them, but now he was able to find a visualization picture for no reason and swallow the ghosts in the picture. He might encounter something in the future.


    Mr. Zhuang still likes this little disciple very much, and he doesn''t want him to be fearless because of his ignorance and fall into a state of endless disaster.


    "There are some dangers in this world, you can''t see them." Mr. Zhuang said.


    "The ancient temples in barren mountains and dusty caves, and underground ancient tombs often live in some indescribable evil or ghosts. They feed on human spiritual consciousness and are good at filthing people''s hearts."


    "A monk with weak spiritual consciousness cannot see or touch these things. He may die until his death. Either the spiritual consciousness is swallowed up, or the sea of ??consciousness is occupied by evil things, and he is unconsciously controlled by them, becoming a puppet like a living dead."


    "There are some existences that survive longer, with vast spiritual thoughts and almost immortality. With the spiritual consciousness of the monks, they cannot even peek at them. Some monks are in awe and respect them as ‘ghosts’ or ‘evil gods’ and worship them.”


    "But most of these ghosts, gods and evil gods have evil natures and treacherous thoughts. The monks who respect them often fail to have a good end..."


    "Whether it is a weaker ghost or an extremely powerful ghost, **** or evil spirit, that exists in the world, you must have a living thing. This living thing is a visualization diagram."


    "That''s why I told you that the visualization map contains danger and inhuman ways..."


    The ink painting was frightened, but he was also puzzled:


    "Are they all hidden in the picture?"


    Can you live in such a big picture?


    Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "Although it is called visualization pictures, it may not be all pictures. Some murals, stone statues, strange patterns, etc. may be visual objects, but monks are used to collectively referring to them as "visualization pictures."


    Mo Hua nodded, unable to help but feel his eyes open.


    Without Mr. Zhuang''s guidance, he would never have known these knowledge of cultivation. If he really encountered powerful ghosts, he would probably not know how to die.


    Mo Hua asked, "Does this knowledge also belong to common sense of cultivation?" "These are not common sense of cultivation," Mr. Zhuang said, "but the secret of cultivation. It is the secret that only some ancient families who are proficient in spiritual consciousness or ancient sects who inherit the formation know. It is unknown to ordinary monks."


    Mo Hua nodded frequently and remembered this rare secret of Taoism in his heart.


    Except for Mr. Zhuang, no one can tell him this.


    "Do you understand?"


    "I understand," Mo Hua said, and then he remembered something, "But..."


    Seeing his desire to speak but stopping, Mr. Zhuang said helplessly: "If you want to ask, ask, don''t hold it in your heart."


    Mo Hua smiled brilliantly and said, "Thank you sir!"


    Then he began to ask, "When I saw this visualization picture, I first saw the Taoist boy, and then I looked at it again, the Taoist boy became a little devil. Why is this? Do each visualization picture have two forms?"


    Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua in surprise.


    He never mentioned such a subtle point, and I could think of it myself. As expected, I am naturally talented and highly conscious.


    Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said with approval:


    "All things in the world have both superficial appearances and original appearances, and this is even more so in the visualization diagram. The various scenes in the diagram are their superficial appearances, and under the superficial appearances, there is also the true form of divine thoughts."


    Ink painting followed Mr. Zhuang''s words and continued to think:


    "Then the little Taoist boy in the visualization picture is the appearance, and the blue-faced little ghost is the true nature?"


    Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Not bad."


    "Are all visualization pictures divided into appearance and original appearance?"


    "Yes, but you can''t divide it so simply." Mr. Zhuang patiently explained:


    "Some pictures, the appearance is the true appearance, while some pictures, the original appearance is just the appearance that is hidden deeper."


    "The original appearance is the original appearance, and the original appearance is the original appearance..."


    After thinking about it for a while, I was a little dizzy and asked:


    "How can I tell it?"


    Mr. Zhuang raised his slender fingers and said slowly:


    "One is to rely on the spiritual consciousness. If your spiritual consciousness is strong, it is stronger than the spiritual thoughts of ghosts or evil things in the visualization diagram, you can see through its reality."


    "Secondly, based on experience, if you see more visual images, you can intuitively distinguish some authenticity and see through some superficial appearances."


    "Third, by relying on your understanding of the way of heaven, the deeper you understand the way of heaven, the closer you are to the essence of the way of heaven, the more you can see the true nature hidden under the appearance."


    "The first point is the most direct, the second point takes time, and the third point is the most difficult."


    "Insights of the Way of Heaven..." Mo Hua pondered for a moment and said in confusion: "How can we improve our understanding of the Way of Heaven?"


    Mr. Zhuang said: "One of the mind and the other is the tempering."


    Mo Hua frowned and thought carefully for a moment, then his eyes lit up and said:


    "Meditation improves the mind and formations sharpen understanding?"


    Mr. Zhuang didn''t expect him to see through at once, and nodded, "Yes."


    Ink painting thought about it from beginning to end and gradually understood:


    "I have a strong spiritual consciousness, and because I meditate every day and draw formations every day, I have a deeper understanding of the heavenly way, so I unknowingly saw through the true nature of the green-faced ghost. The green-faced ghost crawled into my sea of ??consciousness and wanted to eat my spiritual consciousness..."


    "But..." Mo Hua looked puzzled, "The third leader has a strong spiritual sense, why didn''t he see through the true form of the visual image?"


    Mr. Zhuang said lightly: "Although his spiritual consciousness is stronger, his mind is too greedy and obsessed with profit. His understanding of the way of heaven is too poor, so he naturally cannot see through it."


    Ink painting understands.


    It seems that the mind and nature are still very important, otherwise it is easy for lard to conceal the mind, be blinded by appearances, and cannot see through the true nature of things, thus contradicting the way of heaven.


    After talking to Mr. Zhuang, Mo Hua understood a lot and said sincerely: "Thank you, sir!"


    Mr. Zhuang''s eyes were a little deep and asked, "Do you know why I told you so much now?"


    "Because I asked you..."


    Mo Hua said silently in his heart, but he knew that since Mr. Zhuang asked this, it would definitely not be that simple.


    He can ask, Mr. Zhuang can answer or not.


    Mr. Zhuang has many questions about how many answers he has and what he chooses to answer.


    In my mind, Mo Hua carefully reviewed Mr. Zhuang''s answer and felt that what Mr. Zhuang answered was related to "spiritual consciousness" and "heavenly way".


    But I couldn''t figure out why I said this.


    Mr. Zhuang saw Mo Hua thought, but his small brows frowned and looked a little confused, so he stopped keeping it, but asked meaningfully:


    "Building the foundation is the foundation of building the great way..."


    "You have thought about what kind of foundation you have built?"
