Seventy-two, on Taoism (Part 1)
After Gu Yucheng finished speaking, he stopped reacting and simply closed his eyes, reversing the cycle of memories and returning to the summers of the past. - The more irreversible the memory, the more profound it is.
The ravine cannot be filled but cannot be crossed...
When the red-haired man heard what Gu Yucheng said, his interest was aroused. When he looked again, he saw that Gu Yucheng had closed his eyes again, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
But Gu Yucheng felt the attention of the red-haired man, and then he opened his eyes, thought for a moment, smiled faintly, and said, "I don't know how to measure my virtue. I want to discuss this avenue with my senior. Is that okay?"
After hearing this, the red-haired man knew that this was Gu Yucheng taking the initiative to cater to him, and secretly thought that he could take this opportunity to see what kind of character Gu Yucheng was. So he nodded and sat face to face with Gu Yucheng.
The red-haired man asked with interest, "What is Tao?"
Gu Yucheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile, "I don't know."
The red-haired man was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile, and then asked, "But if there is no Tao in all things, how will things work? How can practice develop, break through, spread, and continue? Therefore, Tao must exist in
This."
Gu Yucheng did not deny it, but looked at the red-haired man and listened to him continue. The red-haired man then asked, "If you don't know the way of cultivation, how can you find yourself in the entire avenue?"
Gu Yucheng said calmly, "Although the Tao Te Ching has been lost, there are still fragments of it that have been passed down. The reason why I answered I don't know is because the Tao Te Ching says, 'Tao can be Tao, very Tao. Names can be named.
"Extraordinary name." -Those things that can be thoroughly understood by people are not the real Tao. It can neither be as indisputable as the Tao and all things cannot be contended with, nor can it be as mysterious and mysterious as the Tao, which cannot be used diligently. Therefore, what I understand is not the real Tao.
It can’t be called a avenue. So I don’t know.”
"In my eyes, Tao is like Zhuang Sheng's dream of being obsessed with butterflies. It is impossible to completely explore its boundaries. Just like that 'The child is not a fish, how can he know the happiness of a fish?', in the most real situation, in fact,
It is still impossible to completely draw a boundary. Therefore, for me, there is no way that I must follow. In other words, I can only call it the way that is desirable by integrating it into the individual 'me'.
For the great road."
"There is no way in heaven and earth, so I am the truth."
The red-haired man frowned, somewhat disagreeing with Gu Yucheng's words. No matter who heard the words "Heaven and earth have no way", they could not agree with it. How could there be such a statement? If it is said that heaven and earth have no way, then the whole world
How does the heaven and earth move? Then how can there be the existence of cultivation? This kind of statement is completely absurd.
Gu Yucheng thought about it carefully, and then continued, "Actually, I have thought this way for a long time. I don't know when I started to feel the hypocrisy of the world. It wasn't until recently when I was in trouble for the first time."
After deeply experiencing those desolate feelings, I became convinced that there is no way in this world."
"Since there is no Tao, just like there is no sunrise in the long night, there is no rotation of the seasons, there is no way forward, and there is no continuation, then why do all of them exist? How can we confirm their authenticity?" The red-haired man sent out his question
doubts.
Gu Yucheng thought for a moment, then sighed lightly, and said helplessly, "I don't know."
The red-haired man was a little angry after hearing this, and wanted to ask Gu Yucheng why he didn't know why he would say such a thing, but this idea was extinguished in an instant. He was already a strong man in the Yin and Yang realm and couldn't thoroughly explore the avenue, so how could he?
How about blaming a junior in the realm of earth?
It's just that his nonsense is really difficult for the red-haired person to adapt to.
This kind of statement is like saying "The sky is dead and the road is dark." It makes you feel uncomfortable no matter how you think about it.
But what the red-haired man didn't know was that in Gu Yucheng's eyes, the great road was not yet born, or in other words, the great road was dead.
If he knew what Gu Yucheng was thinking, I'm afraid the red-haired man would directly kick Gu Yucheng out.
Because as a senior, you can tolerate your juniors, but even as a senior, you still can't walk on the same path as someone with completely different beliefs. This is the saying "If you have different paths, don't work together." This is the truth.
Gu Yucheng asked, "What does senior think the Great Dao is?"
The red-haired man spoke directly and said loudly, "Heaven and earth are unkind, heaven and earth are eternal, and heaven and earth are infinite. These three are the manifestations of the great road."
Gu Yucheng thought for a long time and asked, "Why is this the great road?"
The red-haired man denied, "This is not the avenue, these are just the three most obvious parts of the avenue."
Gu Yucheng then asked, "If this is the case, doesn't it mean that we can't find a real limit as well?"
The red-haired man denied, "As you said, Tao is difficult to explain, so it is difficult to draw boundaries and sort out the order. However, hypocrisy and desolation do not mean that Tao does not exist. If you want to find and understand the way to heaven and earth,
, only by finding the most obvious part of the Tao can we follow the Tao. Therefore, the Tao in my eyes lies in this."
Gu Yucheng nodded after hearing this, but didn't say anything. His eyes were still full of doubts.
Then Gu Yucheng started thinking in his heart.
The Tao is neither clear nor chaotic, desolate and has no clarity. I am the same as my predecessors on this point. However, I always believe that the Tao does not exist and is dead. Trying to find the Tao is like trying to justify it.
It is the same as the problem of "Zhuang Sheng's dream is obsessed with butterflies". It is really difficult to have a clear boundary. Everyone has their own opinions, so naturally it is impossible to decide. Therefore, in my eyes, only I can call it the great road.
You are your own path.
But... Gu Yucheng still doesn't know... where is his way to himself...
"Even in practice, I can't guide myself..."
Gu Yucheng fell into deep thought again for a while. After a long time, he smiled and said to himself, "The reason why I say 'I am the only one who is true' is because it is difficult for me to see everything clearly now. In this case, why bother?"
Immediately find out the great path. Be yourself, be true to yourself, and follow your own path, and that will be all right..."
When the red-haired man saw Gu Yucheng's sympathetic expression, he thought that Gu Yucheng approved his remarks, but then he heard Gu Yucheng say, "How is the Tao manifested in cultivation?"
The red-haired man glanced at Gu Yucheng and thought to himself, "Although he is not very talented, he thinks about problems very deeply. If he has his own understanding, he may not be successful."
The red-haired man opened his mouth and said, "Change the world but not the public, care about all the people and not care about yourself. The world is your responsibility, and the country is yours."
Gu Yucheng was stunned. He looked at the face of the man in front of him, and the calmness between his brows turned into determination at this moment. The red-haired man followed the emperor to kill the sky. Although Gu Yucheng had experienced the Hangu Pass in the stone scroll,
In fact, he rarely knew about the battle over Hangu Pass, so he couldn't remember who the man in front of him was. However, at this moment, Gu Yucheng was sure that this must be the Supreme's confidant.
Although I still don’t know who it is, the spirit of “the world is my responsibility and the country is my own” can only be possessed by the Supreme Being.
Gu Yucheng couldn't help but be in awe. Although for Gu Yucheng, the stone scroll contained what he called "the world belongs to ten thousand people", but he thought he was not as selfless as the red-haired man. Therefore, he admired him.
Gu Yucheng did not deny it anymore, even though he knew that the answer in his heart was still somewhat different from what the red-haired man said, but he did not say anything. For Gu Yucheng, Taoism is more about self-seeking in practice.
In Gu Yucheng's eyes, only by truly finding yourself can you truly understand the Tao.
However, no matter what, Gu Yucheng still agreed with what the red-haired man said.
The red-haired man thought for a while, glanced at Gu Yucheng slightly, and thought, "Ren Ce Dao, he and I are monks... we have very high thoughts on Dao. Maybe it's not too bad. Apart from this talent, the talent was only
It can be said to be unsatisfactory..."
The red-haired man thought for a long time before slowly saying, "I have a few questions to ask you."
Gu Yucheng nodded after hearing this and waited for the red-haired man to ask questions.
The man asked, "Do you know the seal inside your body? Do you know what's going on?"
After hearing this, Gu Yucheng shook his head and said slowly, "I know there is a seal in my body, but I don't know what it is..."
The red-haired man then asked, "What about your inner demon?"
Gu Yucheng then told the story about his sister. However, he did not mention the name and characteristics of the sister. After all, there was no need. Just tell the story. There is no need to cover everything.
The red-haired man did not speak after hearing this, but fell into deep thought. "Even Ye Ze and I can't fully see this seal... There are only two possibilities, either the other party is also in the Yin and Yang realm - I just don't know that the demon country has no one other than Bai Zimo."
Who else has broken through to the yin and yang realm with the Demon Emperor... Either the people from the Demon Kingdom used special methods... Then Donghuang Taiyi also said that it is the Demon Kingdom family - if it is Bai Zimo and the Demon Emperor, I can't possibly not feel them.
His aura seems to be either from the Yin-Yang realm or from a noble family..."
How did the red-haired man know that Bai Zimo's experience of Taoism had changed a lot after he subdued his inner demons. Therefore, his aura was very different from the one he was familiar with. And because of the inner demons, Bai Zimo,
Likewise, if one has made progress in the realm, the distance to the realm of the sun is only a short step away from him.
The red-haired man thought for a moment, and then asked, "What about the Yinglong scales on your body?"
Gu Yucheng looked at the red-haired man with doubts in his eyes. When the red-haired man pointed at Gu Yucheng's chest, a little golden light flickered. When he looked closely, it was the black jade that Gu Yucheng got from his father.
Yucheng was a little at a loss for a moment. He didn't know where this black stone jade came from. He only knew that it was a relic of his father. He didn't even know that it was Yinglong Scale. He had no choice but to tell the red-haired man this.
The object was obtained by his father Gu Mingwen while exploring the desert.
After hearing this, the red-haired man calmed down and thought carefully.
"If you carefully sense this dragon scale, you will still notice that there is a demonic energy attached to it. It seems that it should be the dragon scale of the Demon Kingdom, but I don't know what happened to the Demon Kingdom... What about the Three Ruins of Yiyi?
Not affected?" The man from Longmen thought for a moment and stopped worrying about this matter. He wanted to ask Donghuang Taiyi about this matter. After all, it was related to the entire wilderness, and Donghuang Taiyi would not hide anything.
Then he looked at Gu Yucheng and said to him, "You should feel everything here. This inheritance is here. It depends on whether you have the ability to get it."
After saying that, he stopped showing any expression and closed his eyes.
When Gu Yucheng heard this, he also closed his eyes...
At this time, under the Yangxintai Waterfall, Zhang Zhilin, who had been washed away by spiritual power for a long time, also woke up. He raised his head and let the violent water slap on his face, causing his long hair to be rushed to his shoulders.
They spread out, with a cynical smile on their lips.
Zhang Zhilin suddenly stood up, rushed out of the waterfall, stepped into the pool, and thrust his body like a sword straight in front of the Nourishing Heart Pavilion.
Before Ye Ze said anything, he heard Zhang Zhilin say loudly, "Juniors are bold and want to discuss matters with seniors."
