Chapter 658: The Method of Sanctification
"What is Tao!"
A very gentle sentence, but it seemed like a bolt from the blue, hitting everyone's hearts directly, making everyone come to their senses.**
Zhaoming calmed down and thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but be shocked. He seemed to be wandering outside the sky just now. What the Taoist Ancestor said was only a few words, and it was difficult to connect them. He had no idea what the Taoist Ancestor said just now.
I looked around anxiously and found that everyone was confused. I thought it was not just myself, but others.
"Can the teacher say it again? I really can't remember it!" Nuwa asked.
I don’t know if she really didn’t understand or was asked by the monks around her.
However, the Taoist ancestor shook his head and refused, obviously. Nuwa asked again: "Disciple is ignorant, please ask the teacher, what is Tao?"
It turns out that he is a kind person. Zhaoming sighed in his heart that Nuwa's cultivation and magic weapon did not need to be like this at all. The true question was naturally for the sake of cultivating the world.
The Taoist Ancestor raised his hand and a ball of energy appeared in his hand, saying casually: "This is Tao!"
Everyone was puzzled and puzzled. The energy in the hand of Daozu was clearly just an ordinary mass of heaven and earth energy.
Before Nuwa could ask questions, Daozu said again: "Look at what I hold in my hand?"
Zhaoming looked carefully and saw that the energy of heaven and earth was pulled by the mysterious light. Soon after, it turned into a ball of flame, burning in the hands of the Taoist ancestor. For a moment, he couldn't help but speak, "Fire!"
"Fire!" Di Jun also answered.
"Blood!" But Shura, who was beside him, gave a different answer.
"electricity!"
"sword!"
“…”
In an instant, various answers rose one after another. Zhaoming was stunned and whispered: "Shura, isn't that fire?"
Shura also whispered: "What I see is clearly blood!"
Di Jun said from the side: "I'm afraid different people see different things!"
"This is Tao!" Tao ancestor said again: "A thing of Tao can be nameless, can be nameless, can be invisible, can be tangible, can be heaven and earth, or earth... I call it Tao, but it can be just fire, just wind, just thunder, just sword... All things in the world are not Tao."
"What I said before was the Taoist scriptures, which were left by Pangu in my way. They should not have appeared in the heavenly way. But since they were preaching, they naturally had to explain them, so I can only say them once. As much as I can remember, it is as much as I can remember."
"But this is not an irreversible thing. The Tao Sutra was realized by Pangu, which is similar to Tao, not Tao. After all, it is only something he has understood, not something that everyone should understand. If you can understand something from other things and understand what is most suitable for you, then it is the Tao that truly belongs to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was moved and seemed to have gained something.
"The key to practicing is to depend on yourself! After the Taoist scriptures are explained, the principles of yin and yang are discussed below..."
The Taoist ancestor was about to start speaking, but he heard a person interrupting: "Dao ancestor, I have something to ask." The person who interrupted was the high priest of the witch clan sitting in a corner of the main hall of Zixiao Palace.
Seeing the Taoist ancestor looking over, the high priest of the witch clan continued: "In the Tao scriptures, heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are straw dogs, saints are not kind, and the people are straw dogs! Can it be understood that heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are sacrifices, saints are not kind, and hundreds of tribes are sacrifices? Is this the way of heaven and earth?"
Everyone was stunned, Zhaoming was also stunned. He still vaguely remembered the previous sentences of the Taoist Sutra, and had no impression of what the witch clan said. It seemed that as the Tao ancestor said, the things of Tao are different, and the thoughts in his heart are different, and even the focus of attention is different.
However, if there is really such a sentence in the Taoist scripture, it is a bit strange. What it says does not mean Tao, but virtue. Moreover, if it is true like the high priest of the witch clan, there seems to be nothing worthy of respect in this so-called heaven and earth.
At this time, the Taoist ancestor spoke and explained: "This statement is not Tao, but virtue. The objective Taoist sutra should be that only Tao has no virtue, but Pangu believes that Tao is power, external, virtue is the mind and nature, and internal. Just like cultivation and state of mind, it is indispensable."
"A state of mind that is powerless and lacks control will only become a simple destructive power, hurting others and oneself."
"I can't be sure of this sentence, but from the fact that he asked Zhou Cheng to cut off the **, this sentence should be: Heaven and earth do not act emotionally, treat all things equally, saints do not act emotionally, treat the people equally."
"Only those who are ruthless and desireless will not be biased because of their desires, and will not rashly use their own strength to influence the people."
"But because of this, I said that this sutra is just Pangu's sutra. Because this part of 'vide' is mixed with too much Pangu's own emotions, this is his way, not the way of others."
"Those who listen to the whole thing can be said to be lucky, because the Taoist scriptures can help you better understand the power. But it can also be said to be unfortunate, because you will inevitably be influenced by Pangu and will find it difficult to get out of the Tao that truly belongs to you."
Things are like a double-edged sword, which is exactly like this. Zhao Ming nodded secretly. He practiced the furnace body refining ** and the magic technique of Rin, both of which were obtained from Pangu. If he could gain Pangu's insights again, there might be a qualitative change.
I had regretted not being able to listen to the entire Taoist scriptures before, but now I suddenly felt a little lucky.
"Thank you for your advice!" The high priest of the witch clan stood up, bowed to the Taoist priest, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
He stood up and asked again: "In the Taoist scriptures, I heard the word "saint" appear several times. Let me ask again: What is a saint?"
"The saint is a state of mind!" Taoist ancestor replied: "From the Tao, it is a state of cultivation, and from the perspective of virtue, it is a state of virtue."
The high priest of the witch clan asked again: "Before Pangu's creation of the world, there was also a state of cultivation in the last era called the 'saint', but the same?"
Daozu shook his head: "One is under the great way and the other is under the heavenly way, it is naturally not the same."
The high priest of the witch clan frowned, as if he was struggling with something. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked: "Under the way of heaven, how good is the saint's cultivation level than the emperor?"
"If the saints are under the heavenly way, their cultivation is similar to that of the emperor. But the saints are enfeoffed by heaven and earth, and their souls are connected to the heavenly way. Under the heavenly way, they are immortal and immortal, and there are infinite possibilities..."
When Daozu said this, he suddenly paused and looked at a corner of Zixiao Palace. It seemed that he had sensed something. After a moment, he returned to normal and continued to speak again.
"The saints can also use the power of the heavenly way, and to some extent, they will naturally win."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was upset. The realm of cultivation, the Immortal King was the Emperor, and the Emperor was the unique supreme.
When the high priest of the witch clan proposed the saint, except for the Sanqing Taoist, there were only a few Taoist Taoist and Zhunti Taoist, who seemed to have known it for a long time, and the others were all inexplicably and didn't know what to say.
Only when I heard this did I realize that the so-called saint would be so powerful. The emperor and the supreme, and the world's cultivation level can be said to be the supreme, and the world is invincible.
And the well-known supreme, only the Taoist master, has never reached it.
What's even more terrifying is the "immortality and immortality" that Taoist ancestor repeatedly emphasized. It can be said that if there is no limit, then people with cultivation will become the place that interferes with the balance of heaven and earth.
"Will this disrupt the balance of heaven and earth?" The high priest of the witch clan asked everyone's concerns.
Daozu shook his head: "The general trend does not change, and the small trends always change. The identity of a saint is to maintain the principles of heaven and earth, so there will naturally be restrictions."
"Is that true?" The high priest of the witch clan smiled and asked again: "Dao Zu, how can we monks become saints?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the Taoist ancestor. When they answered, they held their breath and focused, and even Zhaoming was not included.
As the Taoist ancestor said, a saint can be called invincible. If a demon clan can produce a saint, even if he cannot unify the world, he will at least not fall into being bullied by all races.
The Taoist ancestor seemed to have answers all questions. When asked by the high priest of the witch clan, he stretched out three fingers without hesitation: "There are three ways to become a saint under the laws of heaven."
"First, merits become saints. If you bear the great merits of heaven and your luck is gathered together, you can exchange merits and the way of heaven for the opportunity of the saint, and you can never die from now on, and you can borrow the power of the way of heaven."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at Nuwa. The Taoist Ancestor had said before that she had too many merits, which affected the balance of heaven and earth, and could exchange the opportunity of the saints from heaven forever. If it is immortal, it is naturally this method.
"Second, kill the three corpses to become saints. The method of becoming saints is to use cultivation to cooperate with the influence of heavenly ways to transform good corpses and evil corpses, and then cut off the connection with oneself, thereby reaching the state of ruthlessness and desirelessness, and then becoming a saint."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was silent, and naturally they felt that this method was a bit undesirable. Zhao Ming also felt it. It is undeniable that the saint is powerful, but ruthless and desireless is equivalent to killing himself. Even if people die, what is the use of any stronger power?
I don’t know whether I saw what everyone was thinking or adhered to the principle of telling all the knowledge, the Taoist ancestor said again: “There is also a small Taoist method in this method. If you gather great merits into your body, and then use your cultivation to kill evil corpses, you can become a saint.”
"As a saint as such, you will not be ruthless and desireless, but your cultivation will be slightly inferior."
Everyone nodded, and the atmosphere changed slightly. It doesn’t matter if the strength is slightly worse, as long as you are still there, this is a small way, but it is easier to accept.
"The third way to become a saint is to use force to prove the truth. This force does not only refer to strength, but strength. Cultivating a certain single force to a level that is sufficient to prove the truth can also affect the way of heaven and become a saint."
"The cultivation of this saint can be called the supreme, and his cultivation is naturally not comparable to the first two saints, and the true self is not affected. It is just that there is no Taoist pattern between heaven and earth, and the person who can use this method to achieve enlightenment is very small."
Dao Wen, Zhaoming was shocked. Others could not see it, but he could see it. Moreover, he was born with fire, so isn't this...
While thinking, I suddenly heard the high priest of the witch clan ask again: "Among the three methods, is the third method the best?"
Is this too? Everyone thought this way, but the Taoist ancestor shook his head: "No!"
