Chapter 501 Lao Tzu realizes, the method of sacrificing Tao?
Yuan Shi came to the retreat of his senior brother Lao Tzu, and was in chaos in another place.
He explained the matter clearly from beginning to end.
"Oh! Is there such a thing?" I looked surprised, a strange look flashed in my eyes, and then I took the book handed over by Yuan Shi and started reading.
He is like a seasoned Taoist without any cultivation. Every move he makes exudes the aura of returning to nature, natural and unpretentious.
Everything he does is close to the Tao.
This is a great state, very natural, as if there is no disturbance in the face of anything.
"interesting…"
I read the book slowly, with a faint smile on my face, attracted by the interesting plot in the book.
Although he has lived for endless years, new things like this are not common.
"Senior brother, how are you? Do you feel anything?" Yuan Shi couldn't help but ask when he saw that I was silent for a long time.
I shook my head gently, "It seems that you are not as magical as you said."
"After looking at it for a long time, I don't have any..."
"Well? This is..." Halfway through my words, my expression suddenly changed.
He looked at the book in his hand.
"Kidney deficiency..."
This book turned out to be so magical, and he really understood the secret method.
"Not bad, good stuff!"
I praised him while he was digesting and comprehending it in his mind. At his level, many magical powers and secret methods are actually ineffective, but for some fresh Taoist methods, there are still some gains.
Different ways and different feelings can always yield something.
"Junior brother, I have learned a secret technique called Ziqi Donglai Fist. I am quite destined to do it. It is really interesting."
I said with a smile, raised my hand and waved, the purple energy spread for 300 million miles, with a noble and silent aura of the avenue, turned into a fist seal, and had the power to penetrate the whole world, which was extremely terrifying.
In addition to the secret method, I am very interested in the last concept mentioned in the book "Kidney Deficiency".
Sacrifice!
Burning away the rules and order, sacrificing the supreme avenue, and all the ways within oneself, the final realm reached after the ultimate sublimation, the final culmination of all the ways of practice.
A complete transcendent, immortal. If you want to step into this realm, you need to have indelible experience.
On top of the sacrificial path, sacrifice and refine all your own paths. In this special realm, all the paths are like water, and can be evaporated dry with just one thought.
Destiny, creation, cause and effect, the way of heaven, etc. are just the weakest bubbles that will collapse if you can't reach out and touch them.
At this moment, I thought a lot and felt enlightened.
The concept of sacrificing the Tao seems to have really taken off. Although they are now powerful in cultivation, they are still bound by the Tao and the way of heaven. They cannot be considered truly transcendent!
And the realm above the Tao, in this realm, there is no time, no sense of space, beyond the so-called eternity, Tao, the vast world, all time and space, outside the universe, outside chaos, everywhere, from ancient times to the present.
In the future, the creatures that are based in this field can dissipate in a single thought, depleting everything and reappearing everything due to the gaze.
On the sacrifice to the Tao, what is really to be sacrificed is not only the Tao, but also oneself, everything becomes empty, everything returns to eternal silence, and then revives in the silence, waiting to be revived again, and truly transcends everything.
Of course, this is very difficult and almost impossible to succeed, because in addition to being strong enough, you also need to have corresponding beliefs, opportunities, and even luck. After all, this thing is too mysterious.
Before death, if there is any hesitation, if there is any shrinking, there will be no such pride as if there are thousands of people going there, no courage to give up everything.
And the unshakable belief that has lasted forever in my heart. If one thing is missing, even if I sacrifice everything, I'm afraid it will only be a dead end.
"Senior brother, what do you think?" Yuan Shi saw the strange expression on my face and couldn't help but ask, does senior brother already have a countermeasure in mind?
"I've realized it!" I said with a smile, with an astonishing color blooming in his eyes. He felt that this was really a breakthrough, and it gave him a new understanding, a new view of the Tao.
This is very important. At their level, the most important thing is not the magical powers and secrets, but the understanding of the Tao.
Sometimes a moment of insight can change a lot of things.
"Understood?" Yuanshi was stunned, and then said: "Brother, I'm not asking you this, I mean what impact will this book have when it appears in the world, and how should we deal with it?"
"In my opinion, if we don't target it, given time, the whole world will be the Daoxuan Sect's orthodoxy!"
He said with a solemn expression, looking a little anxious, which showed that he was interested in this matter.
"Oh, you're talking about this!" I paused and came to my senses.
I thought Yuan Shi was asking him about his feelings, but he spent a long time asking this question.
Well, he has to think about this.
"In my opinion, this book is not without its merits." I pondered for a while and then spoke slowly.
"Senior brother, I have banned my disciples from reading this book!" Yuan Shi continued.
"Really?" The teacher was stunned for a moment and said, "That's not necessary. The so-called one yin and one yang is called Tao. Everything in the world has two sides. Although this book has unreasonable parts, it also has reasonable parts!"
"Are you really forbidden?"
"It's forbidden!" Yuan Shi nodded and said unwillingly: "Brother, are you just going to let these books wander into the world?"
"With such laissez-faire, I'm afraid that one day I will be like the Jie Jiao of the past, with mixed good and bad, and all kinds of monsters and monsters can practice Taoism, which will lead to great disasters in the world!"
This was the case with the Jiejiao in the past. Tongtian only taught his disciples how to practice, but never taught them virtues, which ultimately led to great disaster.
"Calamity all arises at the right moment. It will always come when it is supposed to come. It cannot be avoided. The right and wrong, good or bad, cannot be judged in one word!"
I said with a normal expression.
This made Yuan Shi's eyes look a little strange. Something was not right with the senior brother today, and what he said was a little abnormal.
"Senior brother, you're not just making an excuse because you want to read these books, are you?"
Yuan Shi thought strangely in his heart, but did not dare to say it directly. Judging from his senior brother's behavior just now, it seemed that he admired these books very much, couldn't extricate himself, and got stuck in them.
That's why I said this,
"In this case, I respect senior brother's opinion, but junior brother's opinion will not change, and I will still ban the circulation of these books!"
Yuan Shi said with a serious face, that is to say, the teacher's situation is unknown now. In the retreat, if it had been before, he would have taken these books to the teacher to make a decision.
"Junior brother, I think you'd better not be so arbitrary. These books are indeed valuable. It won't do you any harm to read more!"
I shook my head and chuckled, saying this, my junior brother has always been like this, he has an extreme temperament and cannot tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes.
