Chapter 182 Tantric Mahamudra, updated version!
After reading the booklet and listening to Zhong Deyuan's description, Chen Jue fell into silence.
After learning about the Moon-Chasing and Home Plan, Chen Jue's entire worldview was greatly impacted.
After being fired from Hangzhou, he returned to his hometown to practice martial arts after awakening the panel. Although the journey seemed peaceful, he also encountered many people and things that he had never encountered before.
Chen Jue discovered that the higher his cultivation level, the more he seemed to have broken through layers of obstacles and entered levels and circles that ordinary people could not imagine.
The secrets of boxing martial arts, the innate Qi of Taoist skills, and the secrets of meteorites and the back of the moon. After awakening the attribute panel, Chen Jue found that everything happening around him seemed to be pushing him forward step by step.
Although he is already a true immortal in the mortal world and has awakened the bonus of [Harmony between Man and Nature], he still maintains some rationality and vigilance when facing the unknown planet behind the wormhole passage on the moon.
No one knows what will happen over there, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to return to Earth safely after going there, even though it is known that the top circles of mankind have begun to work together to develop this so-called second home for mankind and to complete the cross-era plan of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Even though he knew that the unknown planet contained the life mineral of the innate Qi necessary for practicing Taoist techniques, Chen Jue was still a young man after all. No matter how good his mentality was or how high his practice was, he still couldn't let go of the things of this world for the time being.
"After leaving the mortal world, will I still be that immortal in the mortal world?" Chen Jue asked himself in his heart.
So there was silence for a long time in this spotless office, and Chen Jue slowly said, "Mr. Zhong, let me go back and think about it! I can't give you an answer for the time being."
Seeing Chen Jue say this, Zhong Deyuan also smiled and nodded, stood up and patted Chen Jue on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, don't make a decision so hastily."
"This is a long-term project, and even I may not live to see it completed."
"You are still young, and the future has unlimited possibilities!"
After Zhong Deyuan finished speaking, he locked the booklet in the mezzanine of the table, opened the door from the inside and invited Chen Jue out.
Chen Jue was full of thoughts. When he left the enclosed scientific research building, he found that it was already getting dark outside.
As for Liu Chengdong, he was waiting outside the door. Seeing that Chen Jue looked worried, he guessed that Chen Jue did not agree immediately, so he invited Chen Jue to the cafeteria to have dinner together.
…
The atmosphere in the cafeteria is very relaxed. Even the staff in this research base are mostly ordinary people with flesh and blood.
Most of them don’t know about the existence of the Home Plan, and even if they do, they wouldn’t think much about it, because they can’t reach that level and can’t go to that unknown planet.
Thinking too much and worrying too much will only add to your sorrow. It is better to just take it easy and live each day as it comes.
Seeing that Chen Jue walked out of the cafeteria alone without saying a word after eating, Liu Chengdong chatted with Zhong Deyuan privately: "Old Director, do you think he will agree to join this plan?"
"How can an old man like me guess what young people are thinking?"
"Even those warriors with strong wills will hesitate when faced with such a choice."
“Once you go there, it means you have abandoned everything on this Earth and become a pioneer in opening up a second home for mankind. Although it is great and you will even go down in history, there are too many things you need to give up... Not many people are willing to make selfless contributions..." Zhong Deyuan sighed.
…
After dinner, Chen Jue did not go back to his room to rest. Instead, he strolled around the research base and came to an open-air plastic playground.
The playground is a bit like the one I had when I was in college, with stands and basketball hoops. Many staff members come here to exercise and take walks after work.
Chen Jue found a secluded corner to sit down, looking up at the round moon above his head. He suddenly remembered a Song Dynasty poem he had learned in school: "I want to ride the wind to go back, but I am afraid that the jade buildings are too cold up there... People have joys and sorrows , separations and reunions , the moon waxes and wanes, it is difficult to have everything in its life... Moon, oh moon! You have given me a huge problem!"
Countless images flashed through Chen Jue's mind, including his experiences in the world and making many good friends , his deep affection for his former roommates, the little things he did when practicing boxing and martial arts, and the process of his body transforming due to the innate Qi radiation emitted by meteorites.
On one side, there is the evolution and transformation of life, and on the other side, he is in the mortal world. Chen Jue didn't want to give up either for a moment. His heart began to become a little confused. His body suddenly shocked, and he gathered his Qi and blood, and formed the elixir into a circle to stabilize his heart.
"You still haven't practiced hard enough!"
"Practice, practice! Keep practicing! Why think about so many complicated things!" Chen Jue sighed in his heart, got up and left the playground, and strolled to the reading room he had visited once during the day.
There were only a few young people in the reading room who were borrowing materials. Chen Jue walked around the reading room and suddenly remembered Zhao Zhen, who was fanatically obsessed with immortality. Finally, he took a few photocopied copies of ancient books that he had never seen in the group before, "The Great Seal of Tantric Buddhism" and a copy of "The Pure Heart Sutra of Laozi", which he felt were not enough, so he took a copy of Wang Yangming's "On Cultivation of Taoism". All of them were out-of-print ancient books and extremely rare.
"Cultivating the mind is also a form of spiritual practice. Previously, I was always concerned about the transformation of the body and neglected the focus on spiritual progress."
"Since Zhao Zhen and his clones can create something, I should be able to do it too!"
"The three religions are actually one family. I hope the classics of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism can be of help to me." Chen Jue thought so, took the three books and found a staff member in the reading room to borrow them.
I didn't stay in the reading room, because the book "Tantra Mahamudra" requires posture practice.
As for the borrowing rights, Liu Chengdong had already opened them for Chen Jue. As long as Chen Jue did not take the book away from the base, he could read it anytime he wanted.
…
After returning to the room and closing the door, Chen Jue first flipped through the "Taishang Laojun Pure Heart Sutra". He felt that although the content was only more than 600 words, it contained Laojun's profound meaning. Although there was no specific practice method, Chen Jue seemed to have gained something after reading it, and his mood calmed down a little.
I picked up "On Cultivating Taoism" and flipped through it. This is the experience of Wang Yangming, the founder of Confucianism, on enlightenment and cultivation. It was the result of his practice after he was demoted and attained enlightenment. It also does not have any specific methods of practice.
After reading it through, there was still no movement in the attribute panel.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Jue picked up the last volume of "Tantric Mahamudra" and flipped through it while moving his hands in front of his body according to the posture diagrams inside.
From the Dukot Mudra, to the Vajra Wheel Mudra, to the outer and inner Lion Mudra, the inner and outer Binding Mudra, to the Wisdom Fist Mudra, the Sun Wheel Mudra, and finally to the Aquarius Mudra.
Each hand seal has a corresponding mantra, from the Vajra Mantra, the Pluto Mantra, the Dharmakaya Mantra, the Demon-Subduing Mantra, the Dharmakaya Mantra of Samantabhadra, the Six Paths Vajra Mantra, the Vairocana Mantra, and finally the Marichi Mantra. They have a peculiar pronunciation, and the moment they come out, there is a resonance of Sanskrit sound.
Affected by the sound waves, Chen Jue felt that the energy and blood in his body began to gather in his hands. It is said that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and practicing hand seals is also practicing the fingers as well as the heart. This is the experience summed up by many predecessors.
Slowly, Chen Jue felt his mind calm, as if everything he had seen and learned during the day had been forgotten.
And on the attribute panel that had not moved for a long time, the words [Tantric Mahamudra Lv0 (1/100)] suddenly popped up.
It was just that not long after this skill appeared, the entire attribute panel suddenly became distorted. The numbers, text, and status columns on it began to blur, and finally faded, leaving behind a string of text: [Updating, please be patient]
