In the following years, wherever I went, I would stay for a few months to preach, and what he preached was exactly what was in the De Jing. Admiring people came one after another.
Di Xin did well what a child should do, and every time he praised him, many admirers would bring him some delicious food and gadgets. Di Xin was not polite and would always ask for more, being a greedy person.
The child turned around and threw those things away.
An admirer named Geng Sangchu was puzzled and asked Di Xin why.
"There is no good or disgusting body, and there are good and evil actions. Knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good and eliminating evil is qingwu."
The child said a famous motto about distinguishing good from evil, shook his head, and left the place. Geng Sangchu was confused for a while, thinking that this was a true saying of wisdom.
Even when he was listening to Lao Tzu's sermon, Geng Sangchu still muttered four sentences. After listening to this, I couldn't help but look at Di Xin with a strange look, making Di Xin think that he was deliberately causing trouble.
Compared with the "De Jing" taught by Laozi, many people came here because of their reputation, hoping to obtain the art of immortality. Among them, Geng Sangchu was the most famous. After several debates with people who were traveling the same way, he became very famous.
Laozi saw that Geng Sangchu was obsessed with good and evil, right and wrong, and asked about spiritual cultivation, so he passed on the method of maintaining health.
"The way to maintain health is to be calm and pure in mind. Those who are calm and pure in mind can also wash away the dirt in the heart. One of the dirt in the heart is material desire and the other is knowledge seeking. If you get rid of desire and seek, your heart will be calm..."
【Get the "Health Sutra"! 】
[Health Preservation Sutra: Even if there is no aura, as long as the mind is calm and the mind is pure, the heart is pure, does not seek external things, and forgets both the inside and outside, the longevity of ordinary people can be greatly improved! 】
After Di Xin heard it, he felt cool and refreshing, relaxed and broad-minded, with a sense of calm and indifference. He respectfully thanked Lao Tzu. This sutra can be said to be the truth that ordinary people can feel the existence of "Tao" when there is no spiritual energy.
Only a saint like me can still think about the human race in such a state of mind.
"Disaster will never come, and blessing will never come. Neither misfortune nor blessing will come, and all pain and joy will be forgotten!"
I said this last sentence, which made Di Xin think something in his mind, and he realized that Master, there was something more than what he said.
…
late at night
Di Xin couldn't sleep, so he got up and knelt quietly in front of Lao Tzu's grass gate.
"Since you're here, why don't you come in?"
Lao Tzu's words made Di Xin feel sad, so he said, "Master, rest, I don't dare to disturb you."
"Then why did you come?"
"My disciple is stupid. The health-preserving sutras taught by Master these days are in opposition to my teachings. I really can't understand them."
"Why can't you understand?"
"Master said that the method of maintaining health should be based on nature, but in Zi Shou's view, it is just drifting with the tide. Is there any perfect state in this world?"
Di Xin knew that what Lao Tzu said was the code of conduct in life. The state of mind should change with the changes of a place. When adapting to this change, one should also adjust the state of mind so as not to be angry, angry or resentful. In this way
Only then can the state of mind be calmed, reaching a state where it moves like water, is still like a mirror, and responds like a sound.
Only in this way can it exist between heaven and earth for a long time. It is the so-called state where no disaster will come, no blessing will come, no misfortune and blessing, and all pain and joy will be forgotten.
But this does not apply to Di Xin, the human emperor. If he does not fight with the sky and the earth, then what is waiting for him? There is no other way but death.
The way out that Di Xin was looking for was never the way of humanity, but the way of the God-Emperor who looked down upon the world.
When I looked at my disciple, there was something gleaming in his eyes.
"Your Tao is all about your heart and cannot be broken by outsiders. I will teach you the Tao Jing now, so as to complete the friendship between master and disciple."
I didn't know what to think, so I started to recite this "Tao Jing".
Every time he recited it, it was as big as a bucket, hitting Di Xin's mind, making him realize for a while, but also seemed to be completely confused. Di Xin tried his best to remember, but he still forgot a lot.
From time to time, the sweat on my forehead started to flow down.
"How much do you remember?"
This "Tao Jing" has only a thousand words, which is very short, but it covers the most important principles of the universe. Every word is comparable to the sacred script of Yunzhuan.
"Reporting to Master, my disciple Lu Ben only wrote down 300 words."
"Really good!"
I actually looked a little happy in my eyes, and then I recited it again.
"Write down how many?"
"Reporting to Master, I have all remembered it."
My eyes became even happier, and I recited it again.
Reciting it three times in a row made Di Xin feel like he was in the universe, and he even saw the fundamental rules that run the universe, which were the magical patterns like yin and yang fish.
In the face of this fundamental rule, the insignificant Emperor Xin has no control over his operation. He can only adapt to its development, and will expand infinitely to his advantage and shrink infinitely to his detriment.
The general trend of the movement of heaven is from inaction to action. From this moment on, Di Xin finally understood what Laozi meant. He was not against action, but against action that disturbed the law.
That’s it, that’s it! Haha!!!
The greatest goodness is like water. Water is good for all things without any struggle. Haha, I understand.
[Obtaining the "Tao Jing" will increase luck by 10,000, merit by 10,000, and number of qi by 100.]
[Tao Jing: It contains the fundamental rules of all things in the universe, the Taoist state of natural inaction, and if you practice regularly, your state of mind can be tranquil and nihilistic, and you can be as clever as clumsy. As long as you watch the magic, you can reversely deduce the special magical power of the whole method. 】
"How much do you remember?"
"Replying to Master, this disciple has completely forgotten."
There was a look of satisfaction in my eyes, and then I nodded and said, "I have nothing left to teach you."
"Thank you, Master, for teaching me the Tao realm these days. Emperor Xin is grateful!"
After obtaining the "Tao Jing", Di Xin vaguely felt that the opportunity had been exhausted and it was time to go out.
"Don't worry, you are my disciple and you can watch my ascension!"
The so-called ascension is the process of the lost Lao Tzu returning to the true form of a saint. Di Xin is a disciple of a saint, so he can naturally watch it.
…
On the top of the mountain, purple air comes from the east, and there are no clouds in the sky.
I sat on the green ox, comprehending the changes in the heaven and the earth, and just waited for the right moment to ride on the auspicious clouds.
Di Xin stroked the green cow, feeling a little reluctant to give up. After being a shepherd boy for such a long time, he actually developed feelings for the green cow.
"Qing Niu, I am the king of Yin and Shang, my name is Emperor Xin. If you have any difficulties after returning, you can come to me for help."
At this time, Di Xin also knew that this green bull must be extraordinary. Thinking of the famous green bull spirit in later generations, he couldn't help but smile.
Bang Chi Chi!
Qingniu's eyes were a little surprised, and he could only express his opinions with hiccups.
After saying goodbye, a streak of black and yellow energy fell, and I was covered with rainbow light. My physical body was dissolving rapidly. Under Di Xin's gaze, I turned into a rainbow and flew away.
Di Xin, who had recited the "Tao Jing" early, naturally inferred the true face of Laozi Huahong.
[Acquire the secret technique: Remnant Dream Bubble!]
[Remnant Dream Bubble: The meaning is in the bubble, God is in the dream, and in the illusion, you can travel through the magical secrets of three lives and three lives.] (The remaining chapter of One Qi Transforming Three Purities)
"Sure enough, I guessed it right."
Di Xin was extremely happy to see this secret technique.
