The great road is invisible, and the great sound is silent.
This is actually the original words of the Tao Te Ching on Earth.
Ye Xiaoye's only, oh, only two, uh... should be only three, only three "original" things:
The first is to translate this sentence from the Chinese language on Earth into the language of this world.
It’s very strenuous, isn’t it?
Totally worth a chicken drumstick as a reward!
The second is to reverse the position of this sentence.
This is even more difficult. In addition to the chicken legs, you should also add a pack of Fuling mustard!
The third is to change the original "Xiang", that is, the image of things, into "Tao".
This change is simply earth-shattering, turning gold into iron! A description that was originally very simple and concrete has become mysterious, mysterious, and unfathomable.
It's called mystifying.
Isn't this amazing?
praise!
Very thumbs up!
The quality of the chicken legs and Fuling pickled mustard can no longer keep up, so I have to add another portion of spicy strips.
For dragon spicy strips, everyone is a dragon.
yeah!
But no matter how Ye Xiaoye changes it, this sentence is still very simple. Any middle school student or even elementary school student who has studied the corresponding physics after the 21st century on earth should be able to understand this sentence.
Take "Da Yin Xi Sheng" as an example.
There is a range of sounds that the human ear can hear and feel. Within this range, it is considered a normal sound.
Below this range, it is called "infrasound".
Above this range, it is called "ultrasound".
In fact, both infrasound and ultrasound are relative to people or from the perspective of people, and they are still from the perspective of "most people".
Not everyone!
Let’s not talk about being born deaf, let’s talk about the elderly. After people get old, their hearing weakens, and their auditory sensing range must have changed compared to when they were young.
"Infrasound area" + "conventional sound area" + "ultrasonic area", these three together can be regarded as a broad spectrum sound field.
If represented by a flat circle, the sounds that humans can hear only occupy a part of this circle, or even a small part.
If red, green and blue are used as symbols, what the human ear can hear is "green", so the first thing you see is probably not green, but red and blue, which account for most of the circle!
The sound is like this.
The color is like this.
Taste, smell, etc. are all like this.
This is why the four orifices of the eyes, ears, nose and tongue are called the "Four Divine Apertures" in this world's spiritual civilization.
Because after opening the eyes and ears, you can see some colors that you can't see before, and hear some sounds that you can't hear before. It can be regarded as a supernatural power.
That’s why it’s called the Four Divine Apertures.
Of course, this kind of magical power is very bad and can only be regarded as a small magical power among small magical powers.
In the detailed explanation of the Four Divine Apertures in the Sutra Pavilion that Ye Xiaoye read, there was not even much exaggeration, but a relatively simple description.
After having eyes, people can see.
After having ears, people can listen.
After having a nose, people can smell.
With the tongue, people can taste.
So, after seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting, will humans be able to perceive and touch all matter, energy, information, or other things that exist or are not available in the world?
We don’t talk about the induction range here, only the induction type.
At least the answer in the Taoist book is not like this.
The sounds that people can hear are limited intervals among all "sounds".
Similarly, the types of things that humans can see, hear, smell, and taste are also limited types among all the forms in heaven and earth.
Outside of this limited category and interval, there are still a large number of "indescribables" that cannot be seen, heard, smelled, or tasted, but they do exist.
It’s just that humans cannot perceive them through their existing senses.
The collection of all perceivable and imperceptible existences is collectively called "the Great Way" in the cultivation civilization.
Then, the "Tao Te Ching" clearly mentions at the beginning:
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is very (constant) Tao."
Even through abstract language, you can't really describe them.
Because language itself is already a limitation, a tool to describe human perception within the range of human perception.
So, how can we further perceive and touch those existences, or "the great road"?
In layman's terms, evolution.
To put it informally, "practice".
If a certain type of creature has not only four types of sensory organs: eyes, ears, nose, and tongue, but five, six, seven, eight, or even forty, four hundred, or four thousand types, then compared to humans
, they are obviously closer to "Tao".
Or conversely, the number of sensory organs does not expand, let alone expand infinitely.
In fact, instead of advancing, the sensory organs retreated step by step from eight, seven, six, five, four, and three types to only one type.
but!
This kind of quality or function expands infinitely outward!
Is there such a sensory organ?
have.
And for humans, there is no need to evolve.
Creation has given it from the beginning.
Its name is:
"Eye of the sky."
It is a composite or comprehensive sensory organ that simultaneously possesses the four functions of vision, hearing, smell, and taste, but is far more than these four functions.
Or to be more precise, it cannot be called an organ.
Because it is not a substantial, material existence, but a functional existence.
That is to say, it exists, but it is intangible and has no image. It is not a specific thing that can be cut off from the body, but a kind of "ability".
Compared with the "four divine apertures" of eyes, ears, nose and tongue, which are just enhancements and expansions of their original functions, the level of the Heavenly Eye is naturally many levels higher than this, and the two cannot be compared at all.
Therefore, even in this world where spiritual practice is flourishing, the Heavenly Eye should be regarded as a formal magical power.
However, Xu Guangling has not yet come into contact with the description of the Celestial Eye in this world's cultivation civilization, nor has he been able to communicate with practitioners who have Celestial Eye vision.
There should be a chance in the future.
After all, this world is not the earth, nor is it comparable to the previous life.
Judging from the current training foundation and the mid-level bosses such as Anshi Ninth Master Mu Shi, there should be no shortage of high-level bosses in this world, and there may be many.
Not just high-level.
There may be higher levels above the higher levels.
At higher levels, there may even be some "indescribable" existences!
As for Xu Guangling, all he can say is that he is looking forward to it.
In order to have better contact with those in the future, every step now and in the future must be taken in a down-to-earth manner!
Therefore, it is not a world where masters play trumpet games.
But you need to practice your new account seriously!
After this account is activated, the previous account will only exist as a backup account! You will not log in normally!
It will only log in under two circumstances.
The first is to enter into the unity of heaven and man and start in-depth deduction.
The second is when you encounter an unexpected situation and need to escape or run away, well, it means the same thing.
Xu Guangling's thoughts were floating around for a short time. It was only enough for Ye Xiaoye to blink his eyes a few times, and he even only drank half of a sip of water.
The cup he picked up has not yet left his lips.
The great road is invisible, but the great sound is silent?
Guangqing was reciting this sentence. Although she had a vague feeling that this sentence seemed to contain some profound meaning about spiritual practice, the feeling was too weak and ethereal, so she couldn't fully understand it for a while.
But give her a day or two and she will definitely understand.
Although I only understand a basic meaning.
After all, he is a practitioner who has already opened his ear and nose apertures. It is not too difficult to understand this sentence, and there are no insurmountable obstacles.
It's like a tree that is clearly there and you can't climb it right away.
But I just haven’t climbed it before, or I’m not familiar with it.
Get more familiar with how your hands and feet work together, and you'll be able to climb up soon!
but.
Judging from Guangqing's performance at this moment, it is obvious that he still cannot understand that sentence immediately like primary and secondary school students on earth.
Therefore, cultural knowledge is still very important.
Just because you're a physical education student, you can't just stop taking cultural classes, right?
Ye Xiaoye decided to take the time to give his physical education student more cultural lessons.
I don’t know how this world arranges this. Based on the level of cultivation civilization in this world, it stands to reason that there should be a “big cultivation system” that is not limited to cultivation.
"Oh, I'm just talking nonsense! Actually, I don't even know what it means."
Seeing Guangqing frowning, he took another sip of water and then put down the cup. Ye Xiaoye said a little embarrassed.
Ye Xiaoye didn't tell lies.
Regardless of whether it's a big or a small one, how could a great master tell lies?
He was indeed talking nonsense, but "this" refers to the "actually I don't know what it means" that followed immediately.
Is this a language game?
no!
If Ye Xiaoye says no, then it definitely isn’t!
In a certain mansion, the boss of Yangze.
In a certain hall, there are three big bosses: An Shoudao, Mu Xinyuan, and Jiu Miaozi.
At this moment, after hearing Ye Xiaoye's words, the four of them almost wanted to flash in front of Ye Xiaoye, and then grab his small shoulders on both sides and lift him up.
shake!
Shake hard!
As long as you can't die, you will stagger to death!
"You're not talking nonsense!"
"You are definitely not talking nonsense!"
"Look at me, yes, look at me, look into my eyes with your eyes! Tell me, you are not blind!"
But they stayed where they were quietly after all.
The four bosses just separated the two places and used various methods, such as glaring or clenching fists, trying to accumulate energy in this way, and then remotely controlled Ye Xiaoye to let him speak.
Don't change the topic, just continue what you just said!
Unfortunately, their cultivation is obviously not high enough.
So much so that effective output cannot be made in this way.
on site.
Ye Xiaoye's words did not make Guang Qing relax his frown.
On the contrary, after hearing his "explanation", Guang Qing's brows furrowed a little more.
"But, I think this sentence is very reasonable." Guangqing looked at Ye Xiaoye, but her eyes were actually a little out of focus, "I always feel that this sentence is very important to my practice!"
It’s already very important!
Yangze shouted in his heart.
Jiu Miaozi, Mu Xinyuan, and An Shoudao also shouted in their hearts.
