After Zhang Yu entered the inner hall, he sat down on the futon.
When Guo Zhen was talking to Taoist Yuhang just now, Taoist Yuhang's words were obscured by themselves, but Guo Zhen did not avoid it.
This was not Guo Zhen's way of showing that he was upright and had nothing to hide, but it was what he meant to tell him.
Guo Zhen said a lot, but in fact the key point lies in the "Tao Nian", and Dao Nian was mentioned many times when he read some high-level Taoist books.
If a Taoist cultivator achieves Xuanzun, it means he has completed the transformation and transformation of his body, and then what he is pursuing is the cultivation of his mind.
The so-called self-mind refers to the will, spirit, soul, and even the inner unity of a cultivator.
There are many ways to practice here, and Tao mindfulness is included in the practice of one's mind.
Dao thoughts are a monk's affirmation of his past knowledge and even experiences, and it can also be regarded as his persistence in the world.
Although it is not necessary to complete this attachment to reach the upper state, if it can be achieved, it will undoubtedly be a kind of perfection in practice.
In other words, cultivating a higher realm does not necessarily mean that a monk has eliminated Tao thoughts, but eliminating Tao thoughts will help to reach the upper realm.
After a Taoist cultivator achieves Xuan Zun, mysterious phenomena arise from the transformation of his body. In the process of pursuing Tao thoughts, the mind and body resonate, which may give rise to more mysterious phenomena.
Just like he obtained mystical powers before and after he established the Heavenly Training Chapter, this is the truth.
But sometimes even if he has practiced well, maybe there is just a little difference, or his performance is not up to par, the mysterious power will not appear. Therefore, the emphasis on obtaining mysterious power is usually more about chance.
But it is undeniable that monks will gain certain benefits in the process and results of pursuing Taoism.
And every Taoist cultivator is different, everyone has different experiences, and their thoughts on Taoism are also different.
Some people are undistracted and purely pursue the Tao, while others have other pursuits.
For example, this was the case with Cang Lu's method of sacrificing a multiplier. A person's own beliefs and even his or her Taoism are attached to the thought of refining the multiplier. Therefore, as long as the sacrificial vessel is completed, the spiritual practice will be satisfied.
, this person is likely to succeed.
Taoist thoughts are also possessed by every Taoist cultivator, regardless of whether they are metaphysical cultivators or real cultivators. He is no exception.
When he achieved Xuanzun that day, he recited silently in his heart: "In the future, I will teach the Dharma to all generations, and all worlds will agree with this and become one."
This can also be regarded as one of his Taoist thoughts.
However, a monk’s Taoist thoughts are not immutable, nor are there only one. However, if the Taoist thoughts cannot be completed, or there is no hope of completion, then it will undoubtedly be an obstacle to the monk’s own practice.
After thinking about it, he finally understood what Guo Zhen wanted to express.
Because all monks today originally originated from mortals, all human cognitions and experiences must have been born from the secular world they originally lived in.
If it is a relatively simple secular world, the human mind's cognition will naturally be relatively simple, and Taoism will also appear pure.
However, the more complicated the secular world becomes, the more complex the monk's Taoism becomes, the more things he pursues, and the greater the variables.
Let’s not talk about the past, just talk about the changes in Tianxia over the past few hundred years, which are huge. The Taoist concepts upheld by some monks hundreds of years ago and the Taoist concepts that monks need to pursue hundreds of years later must be the same.
Something different.
In particular, Xuan Xiu has sunk into the secular world. Although he is still a Taoist cultivator, he is naturally different from many original practitioners in various aspects.
Guo Zhen wants to keep the entire secular world in an unchanged pattern, so that the monks who come out of it will no longer have too complicated thoughts and desires, and the changes in the ideas of these lower-level monks will eventually affect the future.
upper layer.
But to say that Guo Zhen is thinking about Tianxia as a whole is not the case. This person just wants to create more fellow Taoists who share the same Taoism as him.
Under the constraints of today's Xia rules, the main way of fighting among the upper echelons of cultivators is no longer the killing of each other and competition for external objects of the cult among the major sects in the ancient Xia period, nor is it no longer a blind pursuit of internal affairs.
Tianxia's Xuanliang is mainly given to those who join the world. This kind of spiritual food can not only nourish the cultivator himself and strengthen his practice, but also make the cultivator live forever in the world. Simply sitting in meditation will never be able to keep up.
In this way, the dispute between Dao and Nian seems to have risen to a higher level.
Monastics who hold similar Taoist thoughts can support each other and move forward together, while those who hold different Taoist thoughts are the ones who need to be suppressed.
This is also a process of squeezing out dissent and finding colleagues.
However, no two people have exactly the same ideas, so even if they have different ideas, it is not impossible to compromise and cooperate for a greater vision.
But there are some fundamental issues that cannot be compromised or compromised.
For example, in the Zhengqing lineage, the theory of promoting the true and destroying the xuan is contrary to the Tao concept promoted by Xuan Ting in the past. Perhaps Xuan Zun also attached the idea of enlightenment to it, which is not what Xuan Ting intended.
Tolerated.
But the past is the past, the present is the present, and things in the world are constantly changing. If he hadn't created the Heaven Training Dao Chapter, Xuanfa might have been suppressed.
He thinks that the future will not be discussed, but from the current point of view, Xuanfa is undoubtedly more beneficial to Tianxia, so if the Zhengqing lineage still maintains its original idea, it will conflict with his Taoism.
This is the collision between Dao Nian and Dao Nian. If neither party makes changes first, then there will be no way out between them.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look outside the main hall and towards the boundless sea of clouds.
If he wants to end his own Taoism or achieve his ultimate vision, he needs to have higher cultivation and higher authority.
Kuisu Dixing, southern wasteland.
Liang Yi walked into a very remote cave. As the metal gates in front of him rose up, he entered an empty workshop.
You can see that there are many creators coming and going here, and there are about ten teenagers sitting cross-legged on the metal platform in the middle.
An old Taoist came over and said, "Fellow Taoist Liang, why are you here? You didn't even send a message in advance."
Liang Yi said: "I came here today because I want to talk to fellow Taoists about something."
The old Taoist said: "It's not convenient to talk here, just come with me."
He took Liang Yi to a slightly smaller cave next to the workshop and said, "Fellow Taoist Liang, you can tell me if you have anything."
Liang Yi said in a deep voice: "I used to cooperate with you fellow Taoists to facilitate communication between Xuanxiu. Now that I have the Taoist Chapter of Training Heaven, I am ready to quit."
The old Taoist said in a deep voice: "I have already expected your Taoist friend's choice. Okay, then I will wait until we get together and part ways. I hope that your Taoist friend will not leak out our affairs."
Liang Yi said: "If possible, I also hope that you can stop. After all, with the Taoist Chapter of Training Heaven, there is no need to do this."
The old Taoist shook his head and said: "We can't stop. How much energy did we put into doing this and how much price did we pay? If we stop now, won't all our previous efforts be wasted? We can only continue, and..."
He paused and said, "Maybe there is another better road here?"
Liang Yi said: "Maybe, but I remind fellow Taoists not to go too far, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind."
The veteran Taoist said: "Fellow Taoist Liang, you know that we have always followed the rules, and everyone we use is voluntary."
Liang Yi didn't say anything anymore. After raising his hand and saluting, he turned around and walked out.
After he left, the shadow of a monk appeared next to the old Taoist and said: "Liang Yi knows too many things, and now he is against us. I think it is better to find an opportunity..."
However, the old Taoist immediately denied: "No, Liang Yi's skills are so profound that no one on our side can be his opponent. And now there is Xuntian Daozhang. He can inform the world about our affairs with just one thought, and
Besides Xuanzun, who has the ability to kill this person in an instant?"
The monk said: "Then what should we do? I can feel that he is not just talking. With his understanding of us, he will discover those things sooner or later."
The old Taoist was silent for a moment and said: "Then we have to leave here first and avoid him."
In the Shou Zheng Palace, after Zhang Yu straightened out his thoughts, he ordered his incarnation to arrange his residence in Yiluo Shangzhou. After sitting and practicing for a night, he continued to sort out the Hunzhang Dharma and Techniques.
This is different from Feng and Gao who re-deduced the method of perfecting themselves. Because of the existence of great chaos, Hunzhang already has a direct way to the upper realm.
But this is actually borrowing the help of Great Chaos to make up for its own shortcomings.
This is like a big dose of medicine entering the body. If the monk himself can be transported and transformed, then he can benefit from it. However, if he cannot transport it, he will be turned into a guest, and then be infected and poisoned by it, becoming
Chaos monster.
The fundamental reason for this lies in the fact that the cultivators themselves must have a solid foundation.
It is necessary to know that those who practice Hun Zhang in true cultivation have reached a certain level regardless of their mental nature, merit, and deeds. They can grasp the scale, clearly know which step they should take, and even know when to stop.
But how can those monks who first practice Hun Zhang grasp this? Unless they never get contaminated by the Great Chaos, the vast majority of Hun Zhang monks will fall into it.
After thinking about it, it was impossible to prevent Monk Hunzhang from coming into contact with the Great Chaos, so he could create a method to strengthen himself and alert him at critical moments.
But the first four chapters can be said to be good. If the final step towards the upper realm is not stable, then no matter how much effort is made in the previous chapters, it will be useless, so how to use the great chaos is a key.
However, since he began to practice Taoism, he has never taken the initiative to be contaminated by the Great Chaos. He really does not know much about the Great Chaos, so he cannot come up with a proper solution.
But it doesn't matter, he doesn't understand, but someone does.
He could go and ask for advice.
After thinking about it, he came out of the main palace and stood there for a moment. In an instant, the heaven and earth melted out in front of him, revealing a hollow. He walked in, and in an instant he appeared outside the clear sky, in the chaos and chaos.
He opened his heart and pushed away all the intrusions. After waiting for a moment, a black-robed Taoist with pale skin and an aloof look suddenly appeared in front of him.
This man had strands of black air floating all over his body, as if he had merged with the chaotic flow. He looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Fellow Taoist, are you looking for me?"
