The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Chapter 288 Xiao Xuan discusses Tao, what is calamity?

The blurred Murong Xue floated in the air, standing opposite Xiao Yuhan sitting on the stone. In this small world where the rules of time are almost stagnant, although she has no spiritual energy, she seems to have a lot of time. She doesn't have to worry about running out of power and suddenly dissipating like she does in the outside world.

Murong Xue was once the beautiful little princess of the Murong family of the Yan Kingdom. Her face was as beautiful as a flower, and she captivated the country and the city. Although she is now just a disfigured remnant soul, her smile is still heartwarming.

Xiao Yuhan looked at the remnant soul of this beautiful woman in front of her, recounted her experiences through her, and recalled Chen Subaru's life, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Murong Xue was also observing Xiao Yuhan. A woman's soul merged with her son's soul. Although her son's body was in front of her now, she was also a little surprised by the woman's clothes. She felt as if she was looking at her daughter-in-law.

As if she could see Xiao Yuhan's mood, she said softly: "Miss Xiao, there is no need to be sad. My husband, I, and Wen Ruo are involved in a real catastrophe. Maybe we can survive the real catastrophe." Falling before the advent is not a particularly sad thing.”

Xiao Yuhan seemed to have grasped some details, and she quickly asked: "Auntie, do you know the truth about this catastrophe?"

Murong Xue looked up at the auroras that filled the sky, and she asked calmly: "Great catastrophe? What is a catastrophe?"

Xiao Yuhan was asked this question and was about to answer, but was suddenly stunned.

She was deeply involved with the Jin Dynasty, and she subconsciously believed that the destruction of the Jin Dynasty was a catastrophe. However, this was a troubled time. If the destruction of the Jin Dynasty was a catastrophe, then at the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes suddenly rose up, and the world was already in catastrophe.

Then she thought of the cruelty of the Saints, and said: "The Solitary Guards of the Saints have a tough attitude towards the Great Jin, and they plan to kill all the creatures of the Great Jin. Isn't this considered a disaster for the world?"

Murong Xue's expression did not waver, and she said calmly: "It is a disaster, but you should know that not all the Saints are murderers, and even the Solitary Guards of the Saints only intend to kill your Dajin cultivators. The entire fairy world is destroyed, and we do not intend to directly slaughter mortals.”

Xiao Yuhan frowned, and she asked doubtfully: "You mean, the great calamity means something else?"

Murong Xue said: "Everything has a cause and effect. I can't tell you what may happen in the future. You can't lie about fate. You just need to know that this catastrophe affects everyone, and Miss Xiao, you are likely to be a variable. When calamity occurs, everything depends on how you deal with it."

Xiao Yuhan made her confused and even more confused. She looked at Murong Xue a little confused and confused and asked: "This... I don't quite understand."

Murong Xue showed a faint smile. She pointed in one direction and said, "Miss Xiao, you might as well wander around this small world. There should be many interesting things hidden here."

Xiao Yuhan scratched her head and said, "Auntie, you haven't finished telling your story yet."

Murong Xue stretched out, waved his hand and said: "This small world has made this residual soul of mine very stable and will not dissipate for a long time. You and I will still be here together for a long time. You have many stories about me. Time to listen, the secrets hidden in this small world are much more important than my story, you'd better explore it."

Xiao Yuhan saw that Murong Xue had no intention of saying anything more, so she had no choice but to bid farewell to Murong Xue who was immersed in admiring the aurora and explore in the direction she directed.

"Sister Xuan, did you hear what Murong Xue said just now? How do you understand this catastrophe?" Xiao Yuhan felt that Murong Xue had made her even more confused, so she asked Xiao Xuan.

"This is a long story. The two schools of Buddhism and Taoism you come into contact with have different definitions of calamity. Let's talk about this Buddhist school first.

Buddhism pays attention to three kalpas. The first kalpa is the successive kalpa, which refers to the appearance and disappearance of all things. For humans, it starts from the life span of 100 years and decreases by one year after every 1679 years. After it is reduced to ten years old and then begins to increase, a cycle is 8000 million years, and these are all small kalpas; the second kalpa is the four middle kalpas, which are divided into the four major stages of 'creation, dwelling, destruction, and emptiness', and with Human beings are related to the tribulations of existence. Literally, you can also understand them as creation, maintenance, collapse, and annihilation. These four tribulations are about the environment, and you can also understand them as the duration of the existence of the conditions for the survival of all things; Chapter [-] The third tribulation is the destruction of all things. In the four middle tribulations, there are still ways to escape and survive, which is the so-called "remaining life after the tribulation". However, in the "bad" tribulation, the "bad" tribulation will become The great catastrophe sweeps away all rules and unconditionally eliminates all things. Everything will be destroyed and everything will return to nothingness.

散劫也许会在第80个相继劫之后发生,那样就是13亿4384万年;也许会在第80个‘坏’劫时发生,直至最后‘空’劫,共268亿7680万年。”

Xiao Yuhan's eyelids jumped when she heard this, and she sighed with emotion: "It seems that I have no connection with Buddha. For ordinary people like us, ten thousand years is the upper limit. For Buddhists, ten thousand years is just the beginning!"

Xiao Xuan did not comment on Xiao Yuhan's words, but continued: "Come on, let's continue to talk about Taoism. Taoism focuses on three disasters and nine disasters, immortality in ten calamities, and exploring the way to immortality.

The so-called ‘three disasters’ refer to ‘wind disaster’, ‘fire’ and ‘thunder disaster’. These are not simple natural phenomena, but a test of the human body's energy and spirit. Wind disaster can stabilize your spirit so that it will not be suppressed and dissipate; fire can refine the soul and prevent the body from being tortured and weakened by disease; thunder disaster can temper the bones.

However, the three disasters are only the basic test, and there will be nine more difficulties after that. The nine difficulties are the test of temperament and quality: Qi sinks in the Dantian and the vitality merges; repays the cause and effect, good and evil are rewarded; the heart is free of worries and feelings are resolved; fame and wealth are indifferent and greed is given up; lust and evil are driven away, and the heart is like a clear pond; reconnaissance Get rid of illusions and uphold your true self; transcend the world and have a broad mind; have firm beliefs and stick to yourself; only by never forgetting your original intention can you always achieve success. Only by achieving these nine points can we overcome the nine difficulties and reach the state of coexisting with heaven and earth.

However, if the life of heaven and earth ends, how can we achieve immortality? This is the realm of ‘ten calamities’. The ten tribulations include the tribulation of one yuan, the tribulation of two rituals, the tribulation of three talents, the tribulation of four images, the tribulation of five elements, the tribulation of Liuhe, the tribulation of seven stars, the tribulation of Bagua, the tribulation of nine palaces and the tribulation of immeasurable.

After surviving these ten kalpas, you will reach the state of true selflessness. The Tao is you, and you are the Tao. From now on, there will be no birth or death, no age or death, and eternal life. "

Xiao Yuhan nodded and said: "It seems that Taoism is better to understand, but Sister Xuan, what do these ten tribulations mean?"
