Chapter 22 The Supreme Being does nothing and my wish is the wish of heaven
Chapter 22 The Supreme Being is inaction, my wish is heaven’s wish
As winter passes and spring comes, everything revives. In front of the clear stream, the ice has long gone.
The chess game has once again been settled.
"General!"
Lin Yi put down the chess piece in his hand and said calmly.
"you lose."
Hearing these words, Yiqing took a deep breath, with a look of sadness in his eyes.
He had played chess with the old man in front of him for thousands of years, but during these thousands of years, he had never won in game after game.
This made Yiqing, who claimed to be Pangu Zhengshuo, feel very uncomfortable.
Although, in these thousands of years of playing chess and fighting on the chessboard again and again, his cultivation level has been constantly improving.
But even so, with another failure in front of him, a trace of powerlessness appeared in his heart.
"No more?"
As the chessboard was reset again, Lin Yi looked at Yiqing who still didn't make any move and said slowly.
"Yiqing doesn't know how to win."
Yiqing shook his head and said sadly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't win. If you don't enter the game, you won't lose. It just fits the first level of inaction."
Lin Yi said with a smile.
"What is the way of inaction?"
Hearing this, Yiqing's eyes moved and he raised his head and asked.
“Inaction is inaction.
Because of inaction, no matter what happens, one is inherently invincible."
Lin Yi said with profound meaning.
"Isn't this just an escape from the world?"
Hearing this, Yiqing frowned.
During the thousand years of playing chess, he had heard the old man in front of him explain many ways of practice.
But the so-called way of doing nothing before him made him instinctively displeased.
Inaction, inaction, therefore undefeated.
It sounds very good, but before things happen, you sit alone and don't dare to step in. You seem to be invincible, but in fact you have already lost.
Of course, there is no loss in the end.
But in those games again and again, Yiqing understood that sometimes no loss is the biggest loss.
"This is the way for a young person to be displeased."
Yiqing retorted for the first time.
"Mr. Cai just said that this is the first level of the Tao of Wuwei. I wonder how many more levels there are after that. What do they mean?"
"You want to know?"
Ji Yi did not rush to answer, but asked calmly.
After thousands of years of playing chess, the arrogance of the young man in front of him has been wiped away in repeated chessboard victories.
Now, being willing to ask questions is in line with Lin Yi's wishes.
The way of myths and immortals requires one's own perfection. Only in this way can the heaven and earth be opened up, and only then can one step out of the inner heaven and earth.
This is what Lin Yi said to young Hongjun.
But whether the truth is actually the case, Lin Yi actually doesn't know, because it is just a guess.
Therefore, after meeting the young man in front of him, he explained the way of the ancient immortals and the golden immortals, but he did not explain the way of the mythical immortals.
Because the first two are feasible, while the latter is still in practice.
Lin Yi believes that in today's world, no one's qualifications can match that of young Hongjun.
Since young Hongjun could not get out of the inner world even after obtaining the jade plate of creation.
So, how can other people without the blessing of the jade disc of good fortune get out of the inner world.
Is it really possible to achieve one's own perfection?
Ji Yi has been thinking about this question for thousands of years. Although he still doesn't have an accurate answer, he actually has a concept in his mind.
That is knowing one's own body.
If you don't understand yourself, how can you get out of it?
"Yiqing wants to know, sir, please give me some advice."
Yiqing said respectfully.
He didn't ask Mr. to teach me, because he knew that the old man in front of him didn't like to teach others, but was more interested in giving advice.
"The second level of the path of inaction is what I call forgetfulness.
Those who forget love do not take joy in things or feel sad about themselves, so their hearts are calm."
"Not pleased, not to have compassion"
As these eight words fell, Yiqing chewed them repeatedly in his heart and mouth, his eyes gradually brightened, and his frowning brows relaxed.
"The so-called not to be happy with things and not to be sad with oneself means that no matter what ups and downs the outside world or oneself have, one must maintain an open-minded and indifferent mentality.
Because of this mentality, even if the sacred mountain of Buzhou collapses, the world will fall, it can still be treated calmly and calmly.
Even if my life is about to end with swords and axes, I can face each other calmly, so the victory and defeat are like floating clouds in my eyes.
Now that I have mastered the chess game, winning or losing will not disturb my mind.
Because there is no distinction between victory and defeat in my eyes, there is no such thing as victory or defeat.”
As he said these words, shock appeared in Yiqing's eyes, and there was a roar in his mind.
At this time, the mountain formed by the unwillingness accumulated in my heart after thousands of years of playing chess and defeat, seemed to be vulnerable and teetering in front of these concise words.
"This kind of state is what Yi Qing wants, but since it is a game of chess, if there is no difference between victory and defeat, why bother to play chess?"
After a long while, Yiqing took a deep breath and asked slowly.
"This involves the third level of the realm of inaction. Pick it up and put it down."
As Lin Yi spoke, he picked up a pawn on the chessboard.
“When you do nothing, you will naturally be out of sight and out of mind, and you will naturally be able to neither be happy with things nor feel sad for yourself.
But does this count?
In my opinion, it doesn't count.
Only when you pick up the baggage, walk into it, experience the joys and sorrows, and feel the joys and sorrows of the world, can you truly let go."
Snapped!
As he said these words, Lin Yi took the chess piece in his hand and took a step forward.
As the pawn advances, there will be death but no life.
"The so-called man follows the earth, the earth follows the heaven, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature, so the Tao always does nothing but does everything."
Lin Yi looked at Yi Qing, whose eyes were flashing with spiritual light, and said slowly.
"Doing nothing is not doing anything. I want to win, so I play chess to win.
But no matter whether it is the victory or defeat on the chessboard, or the desires in my heart, they must not disturb my heart.
I am not doing anything, it is not me who is not doing something, I just don’t want to, so I am doing nothing.”
Boom!
As he thought of these words, Yiqing felt a roar in front of his eyes, and the mountain of unwillingness in his heart suddenly shattered at this moment.
The so-called inaction means not doing anything, but it does not mean doing nothing. It should be done by not taking pleasure in things and not feeling sad about oneself.
"I do nothing. It's not me who doesn't do anything. It's just that I don't want to do anything. The so-called inaction is the supreme inaction."
In front of the chessboard, Yiqing read slowly.
Boom!
As these words fell, a purple energy rose into the sky.
Although this purple energy is not directed at anyone, it contains an unimaginable domineering meaning, and within this domineering, there is also an indescribable meaning of tranquility and inaction.
The supreme inaction is neither forgetful nor ruthless.
It’s just that I don’t take joy in things and don’t feel sorry for myself. I just don’t want to do anything. If I have a wish, everything in this world will be as I wish.
"Good guy, Taishang Wuwei has done it all, it's interesting."
Seeing Yi Qing's transformation, Lin Yi was very satisfied, so he waved his hand to help him cover up the sky.
Now is just the beginning of understanding. Whether you can grasp this inner lake depends on whether you can really do it.
"Fellow Daoist Yiqing, the chess game has begun. Please join in."
Snapped!
Yiqing didn't say anything. When the purple color in the sky faded away, he picked up a soldier with a calm look.
One soldier and one soldier, although at this moment they are facing each other tit for tat.
But the two people playing chess were quiet and did nothing.
(Thanks to Dhue for the 100-point reward for asking for leave. I have not yet reached the state of inaction, please continue to hit me →_→)
