"Alaya consciousness." Zhuge Yun replied on his behalf, "One consciousness among the eight consciousnesses is the structural basis of all experiences and the fundamental consciousness of all consciousnesses."

"The first five consciousnesses are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and then the sixth sense consciousness of thinking, the seventh consciousness is the defiled consciousness, also known as the manas consciousness, and the eighth consciousness is the Alaya consciousness."

"Yes." Mao Yao continued, "Alaya consciousness is the eighth consciousness in the Yogacara school, and is a very special kind of consciousness. It contains all things because it can contain the seeds that grow all things, also known as seed consciousness."

"In Buddhism, the Alaya consciousness is regarded as the essence of the universe and the origin of everything in the universe. Everything we see is evolved from the Alaya consciousness."

"The Alaya consciousness is like the sea. Everything in the material world is the waves on the surface of the sea. The waves roll, and it becomes a cycle of our objective world over and over again."

"The upper and lower sides are called Yu, and the ancient times are called Zhou."

"Lanting once told me: The end of science is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is religious theology."

"This statement may not be absolutely correct, but when different things enter an unknown field, they will have great commonalities, which is reflected in the fact that when the exploration and cognitive process of the universe enters an unfamiliar field, the boundaries become blurred.

Feng Huolun received: "After our research, many things cannot be continued and explained clearly, but many insights in Buddhism and Taoism inspired us."

"For example, Buddhism has a saying that divides the universe into the desire realm, the form realm and the formless realm, which is similar to the concept of parallel space. The six days of the desire realm are sexual reproduction, and the eighteen days of the form realm are sexual reproduction. The creatures in the four days of the formless realm have only consciousness but no form."

"The levels or dimensions of the three major realms are from low to high, among which the last heaven in the formless realm is called the 'Non-thinking and non-thinking heaven'. There is no matter, no desire, and it is said that only subtle thoughts exist."

"Taoism also has similar divisions, but the names are different. The immortal heavens have a total of thirty-six levels. The last eighth heaven jumps out of the three realms and is not in the five elements. There is only Tao in the highest level of Daluo Heaven, and there is nothing else. This is similar to the Buddhist meaning of non-thinking and non-thinking heaven."

The cat demon said again: "The so-called heaven is not a tangible world. The concept similar to the multidimensional universe is actually limited, because human cognition is limited."

"Just like you tell fish, shrimp, crabs, there is a land world outside the sea, which they cannot understand and imagine. They believe that the sea is infinite, and this infinite conclusion is based on finite cognition."

"The immeasurable depth and vastness of the universe is even more incredible than you imagine. It can be said to be beyond the expectations and abilities of human beings and all known life."

Yi Liunian asked in confusion: "There must be a real and objective existence, even if we can't understand it."

The cat demon replied: "In Buddhism, truth is divided into two truths, conventional truths, and conventional truths, and the ultimate truth describes the absolute truth of the true and infallible reality. Human beings cannot directly see the truth itself, and we cannot find an answer to the ultimate truth in the conventional truth. In other words, relative truths cannot be used to explain absolute truth."

"The only way we can try to understand the unprocessed truth is to establish it through labeling and false names. As the Tao ancestor said: Tao can be told, it is extraordinary. Name can be called, it is extraordinary. As the Buddha said: emptiness is form, and color is emptiness. The five aggregates are empty, impermanent and selfless. All appearances are false."

Hua Lanting asked again: "Is it like the illusion created by the illusion array in magic?"

Fenghuolun: "It's almost the same, it's just a drizzle. It's a virtual scene created by cultivators after comprehension of a little fur."

The cat demon said: "For example, there is a fish tank in front of us, and there is a goldfish swimming in it shaking its head and tail. You look from the side and I look from the back. We see two fish, but they don't look like each other. It's really strange that one of them moves, and the other immediately makes the same move at the same time."

"If the fish tank is a universe, the fish we see are illusions, projections, and fakes, but the fish really exists. If we all look at the fish from different directions together, there will be many fish, and the movements are very coordinated, and there is only one truth."

Lin Xian was shocked and thoughtful: "I remember there was a national teacher of Xianshou in the Tang Dynasty. When he was explaining the Lotus Sutra, he placed a large mirror in every direction of an octagonal pavilion. The mirrors reflected each other. If you didn't notice the real person standing in the middle, you would feel that there were many people, and their movements were consistent and slightly different."

Feng Huolun sighed: "So the ancients were smart. The fish tank and mirror were just metaphors. The universe was more complex, without space and time. Everything in us, past, present and future is in it. It is everywhere, and it seems far away but not near."

Zhuge Yun said: "But we can consciously and feel the reality of objects."

The cat demon said: "You can sense the touching real objects because of strong, weak, magnetic and gravity, but it is very likely that these are the illusions we feel like, including consciousness. Perhaps consciousness is also produced by projection, which is the projection of the Alaya consciousness after entering your body."

"Only if the Buddha can enter deep meditation by practicing great power, he should be able to be aware of the unchanging origin of all things and thus realize the Alaya consciousness."

"The Alaya consciousness is like a holographic projection of the universe, with everything. Every point contains all the information. As the Buddha said, the mustard seed contains a thousand. Every point is like the incarnation of the Buddha, everywhere and everywhere."

"The brain is also an illusory projection. The understanding of the world can only reach the upper limit allowed by the brain. The practice of Buddhism and Taoism is to try its best to expand the brain's abilities. However, Buddhism believes that it can expand infinitely, and the spirits wander between heaven and earth, and Taoism can also keep up with the body, so that it can break through to a higher level."

The cat demon asked everyone: "Do you understand?"

Everyone bowed their heads with one hand, or put their hands together and said, "Immortal Heavenly Lord/Amitabha, we are stupid, we all want to be quiet."

Just as they walked, they said that after several teleportation, one morning, they arrived outside the transfer teleportation array that headed to the last large teleportation point at the southern end of Xianzhou.

The scale of this teleportation point is not small, and it looks magnificent from the outside.

Everyone tried expensive teleportation fees at the gate and entered. There were a long queue outside the portal today, with a total of one or two hundred people, but most of them were young monks with low cultivation. The disciples of the Wanxiang Sect stood at the end of the line and waited.

While waiting, there were messy steps and loud joking sounds coming from behind them, which was very harsh in the quiet environment.

When everyone looked back, there were more than a dozen people coming in a row, all wearing Taoist robes. I don’t know which Taoist sect they were from, old and young, and their cultivation was high and low.

Those with high cultivation wear crane cloaks, cloud shoes, and Hunyuan scarfs. The others wear Zhuangzi scarfs, pure sun scarfs, Haoran scarfs, Xiaoyao scarfs, lotus leaf scarfs, one-line scarfs and the simplest wraps.

The group of people dressed carefully but acted in a bad manner. Not only did they walk without any straight face, they made loud noises, and they even called each other and walked in horizontally, and they didn't line up. They crossed the disciples of the Wanxiang Sect and entered directly.

When passing by, someone bumped into Hua Lanting and others, and then cursed and cursed.

As his age grows and his cultivation becomes more and more profound, the disciples of the Wanxiang Sect have improved a lot, and even Yi Liunian has not come up with theories and lets a group of people go there.

With the eyes of the people in line, the group of people walked to the portal, turned around and stood still, and pulled over a fence and shouted to the front: "I heard that there are many people today, and the teleportation capacity of this place is limited. Each sect is limited to five people. If there are too many people, each person needs to pay a single high-grade spirit stone."

Everyone was upset.

Except for some private ones, the teleportation array in Xianzhou was basically funded by major sects from all over the country. As a public facility, the charges are accepted by everyone, but the fee standards have been negotiated based on the construction scale and the distance of transmission, and the difference will not be too big.

In addition, these magic circles are taken turns by the funding parties, like the word Mu hanging on the door today, and people from the Mu family are taking turns to take care of and charge.

Since it is a small number of people who contribute to it, it is common for the expenses to fluctuate according to the usage situation, but it is very unpleasant for the lion to speak out. It should be because these people think that there are many people today and that young and younger disciples are easy to bully, so they temporarily increase the price.

Someone was dissatisfied and asked, "Who are you? What rights do you have to charge extra fees?"

The Mu family is not a Taoist sect, and there will be no guards in Taoist costumes, so this question is asked.

The man replied, "What's wrong? We are from Taihao Temple, Xiankong Island in the South China Sea, and we have investment here. Today, we are entrusted by the Mu family to manage it. If there is no spirit stone, we will come back tomorrow."

Taihao Temple is the first great dao temple among the coastal islands in the southern Xianzhou. It is famous and has great strength. It doesn’t want to act but is so domineering.

Someone shouted, "What kind of commission is wrong? Let the people from the Mu family come out and speak."

The disciple of Taihaoguan raised his face: "The head of the Mu family is practicing, so you can't disturb me. If you want to hand it over, just talk nonsense. Today, the teleportation array is renovated, no one can think of going there."

This aroused public anger, and everyone spoke out loudly and condemned, and the door became noisy.

At this time, the old man wearing a crane cloak among the Taihao Temple people was sitting in a rocking chair behind and shouted: "Stop it all! Today, I have the final say here, and I come here if I don't agree, and I will fight! I won for free."

Dan Yangzi had the cultivation level of the Wenyang Realm. This loud shout suppressed everyone's voices, and the lingering sound buzzed, which was to use force to suppress people.

The queuing of cultivators was not as good as that, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and the scene was silent for a moment.

Seeing that everyone was suppressed, Danyangzi sang his feather slap and smiled proudly. One of his disciples next to him pretended to be powerful. He stood in front of him and said, "Why don't you make any noise? Where are the ones who speak loudly? You, you, come here and yell again."

He pointed at the front row with his hand, and the people retreated.

Hua Lanting and the others had already surrounded him. After retreating in the front row, they flashed out the disciples of the Wanxiang Sect.

It was this disciple who just hit Hua Lanting on the shoulder. After recognizing it, he said domineeringly: "You are talking about you, do you still have any opinions?"

When the disciples of the Wanxiang Sect walk outside, in order to cause less trouble, they usually use mysterious skills to suppress and conceal their cultivation. If they are not more powerful than them and are more focused on distinguishing, they will not be able to easily discover it.

Seeing that he was pointed, Hua Lanting turned his face to look at Mu Zi who was frowning and nodding slowly, and stepped forward: "You ask me? I'm going to have a big opinion."

"I'm not talented, so I dare to ask Senior Danyangzi for advice. If I win by chance, I will dare to exempt everyone here from the expenses!"

"Um?"

When Dan Yangzi heard this, he snorted with a long tone in his nose and slowly sat up from the recliner.
