Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Three Seeking Taoism
Zhang Yu bowed to the top and said: "I intend to pursue the higher realm, but I have some doubts in my heart, so I want to ask Zhuang Zhishe for advice."
He makes no secret of his desire to reach the upper realm. There is no one who has reached his level who does not hope to reach the upper realm.
People who have always sought perfection will be fine if they don't take that step. However, if there are any obstacles, they will only happen after the official climb. So even if there are obstacles, they are not now.
Zhuang Zhishe said in a gentle voice: "I have been waiting for Zhang Tingzhi to ask this question. In Tianxia, if there are people who can transcend to the upper realm, it is Chen Shouzhi, Zhang Tingzhi and others
There are three officials in the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Tingzhi not only has profound cultivation skills, but also has the appearance of being a prodigy. However, relying solely on this may still be insufficient."
Zhang Yu's heart moved and he said: "Please give me some advice."
Zhuang Zhi said: "In order to climb to the upper level, everyone's path is different, and the methods are also different. The methods of climbing are also different. The methods of the predecessors cannot be used by future generations, so I can't help you here. However, I
But one thing I can say is that if you want to go to the upper realm, in addition to completing your own merits, there are many obstacles that need to be eliminated. One of them is to bear responsibility.
Burden is innate, it exists when it exists, arises when it moves, and it cannot be eliminated if it is not broken. However, if you do not try to reduce it, the way of heaven will create all kinds of entanglements and become a burden, making it impossible for you to climb freely.
.”
Zhang Yu thought about it for a while. Although Zhuang Zhishe only had two sentences, he clarified many of the mysteries in it.
Responsibility exists since a person is born into the world. But ordinary people don't need to pay attention to this matter. After all, ordinary people only have a life span of one or two hundred years and have no ability to fight against the fate of heaven.
As a cultivator, you need to pay attention to this matter. Everything in the world is involved. Once you embark on the path of cultivating, all kinds of burdens are intertwined. Everything you do, and everything that pushes you up, are all burdened.
.
Therefore, for those who practice Taoism, the more they practice, the heavier their burdens are. The more things are mixed with events, the more burdens they bear. From then on, they become thicker and thicker, and the involvement is endless. When the time comes, disasters will naturally follow this path.
If the path is shallow, there will be no way to avoid it, and you will fall into disaster. Therefore, you must try to cut it off to reduce the burden.
Taoists pay great attention to avoiding this problem during their practice. Usually, by breaking through a barrier, they can get rid of the burdens of the past. When reaching a difficult situation, listening to Zhuang Zhishe's words is all about getting rid of the burdens of the past.
He said: "I dare to ask Zhi Sheng. If the border is not broken, how should we deal with the burden?"
Zhuang Zhi said: "To bear a burden, it means both bearing and bearing. Bearing lies in both establishment and cutting. There are several methods here. In the past, the Huanyang Sect held only one kind, and its path was to cut down.
By being the master of all beings and swallowing up all things in the world, all kinds of burdens can be eliminated.
Just to do this, we need to be consistent from top to bottom, carry it out from beginning to end, and exclude one way from others. Therefore, before the completion of the way, disasters will continue to come. If it cannot be sustained, it will be destroyed. The Huanyang Sect will eventually be destroyed.
Accept this calamity.
There is another way, which is to restrain oneself, to restrain oneself, not to be stained by dust, not to enter the human world, so that one can avoid all kinds of calamities.
It’s just that the secret of heaven is ever-changing, and it can restrain itself but cannot restrain others. In the end, it will either be difficult to see the truth, it will be destroyed by internal calamity, or it will be killed by external calamity.”
Zhang Yu thought for a while, and according to this view, reducing burdens is not something done after breaking through the realm, but something that ascetics do all the time. Many people have been doing this since they set out on the path of asceticism.
Those sects with superior Taoist teachings have passively or actively protected themselves since they entered Taoism, so as not to bear too much burden. Although the vast majority of Taoists in the world have no way to go to high places, they must first do a good job
These are also good.
But all the true Dharma passed down by powerful beings from above are like this. It can be said that they are innately sealed in the Tao Dharma, and the monks are doing this unconsciously.
Therefore, the higher a cultivator reaches the higher level and the deeper they are immersed in the principles, the more they pay attention to these. Therefore, it can be seen that in the past, most of the monks who practiced the true method followed the path of escaping from the world and restraining themselves. But just like Zhuang Zhi
As the photographer said, this method can cure oneself, but cannot cure others. It seems to be an escape from the world, but when external calamities come, it is inevitable.
Here he thought of Jiao Yao. This old dragon can be said to be slippery, but he was still pushed by external tribulations and had to invest in it. Now he was unconsciously pushed to the upper path because he passed the tribulations. But if he failed, it would be possible.
This should be a disaster.
Zhuang Zhishe continued at this moment: "There is another kind of repayment. Although the burden is accumulated, it can be dissipated. If the repayment is more than the accumulation of the past, then it is equivalent to cutting off the burden."
Zhang Yu understood very well. To put it simply, a debt of gratitude should be repaid with debt, and a debt of debt should be repaid with debt. In other words, after a Taoist succeeds in cultivating Taoism, he can then repay all things in the world.
This can be regarded as the way to enter the world, and it is the way Tian Xia is practicing now.
He guessed that Zhuang Zhishe might have resolved his burdens in this way. This was the establishment of Tianxia to fight against the various sects, and then he led the Tianxia people to practice in this world, and finally merged all the ways, and the contract became one, and the merits of all generations were brought to this world.
In future generations, under the retribution of all kinds, you will bear the burden and cut yourself off, thus establishing Taoism.
At this moment, he also thought that Zhuang Zhishe's ability to achieve the higher state might have something to do with practicing this way. So, what should be his own responsibility?
As the founder of Xuanfa, his most important Taoist career is undoubtedly Xuanfa. However, if he does not follow the path of Xuanfa, he will never be able to repay it, and there will be a contradiction between the two.
But the good news is that there are no other options.
Zhuang Zhi took the picture and thought about it, and then said: "Everyone's pursuit of Taoism is different. The path of the predecessors is not necessarily followed by future generations, but the principles behind it have to be understood."
Zhang Yu nodded, he also thought so. The path taken by the predecessors may not be followed by the descendants. For example, the old path accomplished by those great men in the early days cannot be followed by the descendants. The truth is
If a person has enough moral principles and realizes that his burden cannot hold him back, then he can ignore it.
Zhuang Zhi said: "What can be said has been told to Zhang Tingzhi. But there is one more sentence here. Zhang Tingzhi is so talented that he has opened a new path. However, there is another sentence here that needs to be remembered,
The burden can be reduced, but the upper strength is difficult to understand, so keep it in mind." He also said: "That's all for now, I hope I can discuss the Tao with Zhang Tingzhi face to face one day."
After saying these words, his figure slowly disappeared from the jade.
When Zhang Yu saw this, he also sent him a gift and said, "Thank you Zhuang Zhishe for your advice." When Zhuang Zhishe's figure completely disappeared, he stood up straight and thought to himself: "Is it difficult to understand the power..."
This may be a reminder that there may be interference from higher forces when searching for the upper realm, or perhaps Zhuang Zhishe himself has encountered similar problems. There is no need to find the reason now, it may be the powerful upper realm, or it may be
It came from somewhere else, and he couldn't understand it for the time being.
But the good thing about Tianxia is that there are endless variables, so anything is possible. Before Zhuang Zhishe, almost no one could reach this place, and he would never stop because of knowing such obstacles.
He stood there for a while, then turned around and stepped into the light, retreated from here, and returned to the Qingxuan Dao Palace. He came to the platform alone, thinking about the way down.
At present, it seems that if we don't seek the path to achieve the Mysterious Dharma as repayment, then the method of resolving the burden must have fallen to Yuan Xia.
Yuan Xia finally swallowed up Tian Xia, eliminated all changes, and replaced the way of heaven with his own way. If this could be prevented, the repayment would undoubtedly be used to offset the burdens of the past. Especially when Yuan Xia fought against the way of heaven,
Tian Xia fought against him and was favored by Heaven, so he got some help.
According to his basis, this does not necessarily mean the destruction of Yuan Xia, but it is enough to make achievements that far exceed one's own status and tilt the general trend in favor of Tian Xia. In this way, it is necessary to inflict heavy damage on Yuan Xia as much as possible and reduce the power between the two parties.
weak.
In this case, he would not hesitate to give it a try first. After all, there is no conflict between cultivation and counterattack against Yuan Xia. He just has to do what he can.
In fact, the situation between the two sides is now at a critical turning point. Although Yuanxia is still far stronger than Tianxia, Tianxia has taken the initiative.
When the true ring of heaven and earth passes, Xuan Ting will attack Yuan Xia again. This time he will be more proactive. The biggest obstacle to Yuan Xia now is the "half-awakened immortal" of Yuan Xia. This obstacle is strong
It is extremely difficult to break. It was like this in the previous game, so there was no way to defeat it.
It is not that there is no way to crack it. There is one right now, and that is the "Yuandu Xuantu". This treasure has its own special characteristics. It is not restricted by the passage between the two realms and can directly escape behind the two-point sky curtain.
Yes, this treasure arrangement will be destroyed.
But this treasure will be used at a more critical moment, and it is far from being taken out now. Master Xun and the powerful person behind it have not yet been exposed.
We still need to find another way here.
In the Yuan Xia Dynasty, in the midst of the world, a Taoist priest sat on the suspended altar. The position under the steps was still empty.
Although the heavens turned, Taoist Ru Gao, Taoist Xin and others were not able to come back. This is because they had already become part of his Taoism, and all traces had been erased from the upper treasures, and it was impossible to return.
Back.
At this time, a talisman book flew towards him. He took it in his hand, opened it, and thought to himself: "Do the two palaces and the third generation want to implement a defensive strategy to wait for changes?"
He thought for a while and said secretly: "That's fine. If Tianxia comes to attack next time, Taoist Zhang, as an expert of Tianxia, will definitely come. I should meet him then. I can only discuss it with this person."
Only then can I complete my Taoist career."
Both Taoist Gao and Taoist Xin were defeated by Zhang Yu's sword. If he could not kill Zhang Yu and eliminate this burden, then his achievements would not be complete and it would be impossible for him to find the upper realm. Therefore, he must fight with Zhang Yu.
, to complete the effect,
At this time, he took a whisk and swept it downwards. He saw that all the pieces on the chessboard in front of him were in chaos and difficult to identify. Seeing this, he smiled slightly. The order of heaven was missing and the secrets of heaven were chaotic. It was difficult to calculate the end.
This is the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time. If he succeeds this time, he may be able to occupy a place in the upper realm.
