What is it like to be a saint?

Chapter 643 Before the Feast (2)

In Yaochi, the Queen Mother is dressing up.

Chang'e served on the side, and together with her was Princess Longji, the beloved daughter of the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty..." After inserting the last panty for the Queen Mother, Chang'e finally couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, and asked, "Is there anything we should pay attention to this time for the Grand Dao feast?"

Although she has awakened some past life memories.

But most of them are vague and can only remember some important key points.

A lot of common sense has been completely forgotten.

This is also the most difficult mystery for reincarnated people.

Breaking the mystery of the womb is just the beginning.

Through the various backhands arranged by myself before the reincarnation, the secrets of the previous life were awakened one after another.

Or, there is an elder or fellow Taoist who is trustworthy enough to guard her reincarnation!
In this way, as long as the reincarnated body is found by the other party, the previous life can be gradually recovered under the protection and teaching of the other party.

It's just that there are too few people with such luck!

Not just because human nature is unpredictable.

Even more because Dao is ruthless!
Many people worked hard to choose a Dharma protector.

As a result, that person was involved in doom earlier than himself and turned into ashes.

Chang'e is undoubtedly lucky.

The queen mother smiled and nodded, and replied: "The feast of the Great Dao is originally a relic of the ancient times!"

"In the ancient times, the avenues ranged from simple to complex, and it was difficult for even inborn beings to comprehend them. They could only comprehend one or two of them!"

"Thus, people who practiced Taoism in the ancient times can only communicate with each other, learn from each other, verify each other's gains, and then pool their wisdom, learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses, so as to improve their own way..."

"The name 'Friends of Daoism' has been handed down from that time!"

When the queen mother said this, she also had infinite nostalgia.

It was indeed a barbaric era.

But it's also a wonderful time!

In the initial Hongmeng years, the innate beings supported and helped each other.

The heart is simple and beautiful.

There is little calculation and no fighting.

At that time, even if it is an innate treasure, as long as it is not what you need, it will be exchanged with others, or even directly given to those who need it.

Unlike now, let alone innate treasures, even Taoism cannot be taught lightly!
It is almost impossible for mortals to cultivate if they have no chance!

With nostalgia for the past, the Queen Mother sighed softly: "In that era, even people who were born in the Nine Nethers were still 'dao friends'!"

Princess Longji listened, remembered something, and asked, "Mother, are you referring to Styx Master?"

The queen mother looked at her daughter and laughed.

Laugh at her innocence.

Styx?

Styx is just the 'breeding' of the Nine Nether Blood Sea, not the 'birth'.

There is a world of difference between the two!
However, Longji didn't need to know these things.

The queen mother didn't answer, but she didn't deny it either.

She continued softly: "The Grand Dao feast gradually took shape from that time..."

"In the beginning, it was a few fellow Taoists who discussed the Dao at the foot of the Buzhou Mountain, communicating with each other and learning from each other!"

"Slowly, many people joined in..."

"The demon emperor, the ancestral witch, the real dragon, the unicorn, the phoenix... have all discussed and discussed with others at the foot of Buzhou Mountain!"

"But, soon, the catastrophe will come!"

The queen mother's eyes were blurred, as if she was remembering something, and then she skipped the description about the catastrophe.

"After the first robbery of the Dragon and Han Dynasty, the yin and yang of the world and the five elements are roughly determined!"

"At the foot of the mountain, it has returned to the prosperity of the past, and countless fellow Taoists exchanged ideas..."

"Until one day, countless people in the Three Realms heard a voice..."

"You should all know about this!" The Queen Mother looked at Chang'e and Longji.

"You mean Taoist Patriarch Zixiao Palace teaching the Fa?" Chang'e's ears perked up.

She vaguely remembered that she also listened to lectures in Zixiao Palace.

It's a pity that she has forgotten all the memories about Zixiao Palace!

"Hmm!" said the Queen Mother, "At that time, I served around Taoist Ancestor, thinking that I would sweep the virgins!"

"Every time the Taoist ancestor taught the Dharma, the three thousand Zixiao Palaces all sat with their lapels in front of them, and they were so fascinated by it that they didn't realize it!"

"Often, it takes a year, ten years or even a hundred years for the listeners to understand and comprehend a single word that Daozu said..."

"So, the Taoist ancestor in Zixiao Palace preached three times before and after, but none of them fully listened to it!"

"Even the strongest person can only remember one out of ten things..."

"And the weakest people often only remember a few words..."

"Ah!" Chang'e and Princess Longji were astonished when they heard the words: "How many words?"

It is inevitable to whisper in my heart.

What can a few words do?

The queen mother naturally understood the inner thoughts of the two people, so she smiled and said: "You think that the Daoist Taoism is very simple?"

"Within one word, everything is covered, and the changes are endless!"

"Ordinary immortals, if they are in the Zixiao Palace, even if they only listen to a single word, their spirits will be involuntarily fascinated by the mystery of the Dao taught by the Taoist ancestor, and they will not be able to extricate themselves from then on!"

"It's hard to break free until sitting down!"

"If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!"

"This is what we call: humble words and great righteousness!"

"It's also the feast on Biyou Palace Avenue, something you two need to be careful and watch out for!"

"Brother Jiejiao Sage, he has already proved the Dao and became a saint, and his understanding of the Dao has already reached the 'Hunyuan Wuji'!"

"Now, among all the saints, take the first step!"

"Above this grand feast, if brother sage gives a lecture, it may not be as profound as the Taoist ancestor in Zixiao Palace in the past, and the distance is not far away!"

"The method he taught and the way he described must be the true meaning of the Dao, which is mysterious and mysterious, and wonderful and wonderful!"

"It's also a kind of 'Small words and big righteousness'!"

"If the three flowers on the top have not been condensed, and the five qi in the chest have not been perfected, they cannot 'directly' listen to the lecture! And they cannot 'directly' comprehend!"

"Because, even if the sage was merciful at that time, he set up a magic circle to protect you with supreme supernatural powers, so that you would be quiet and not indulge in the great way the sage taught, but this is still an extremely dangerous thing! The Tao is turbulent, and your cultivation base is superficial. If you face the Dao rashly, you will stand up like a mountain, and you will be completely in awe of the Dao of the Saint! From then on, you will follow the Dao of the Saint, and believe in the Dao of the Saint, and it will always be correct!"

"Isn't this... a good thing?" Princess Longji didn't understand.

In Chang'e's beautiful eyes, she was thoughtful.

The Queen Mother shook her head, looked at Princess Longji, and asked, "Among the three realms, are there two identical flowers? Two identical trees?"

Princess Longji was stunned.

"If the grass and trees are like this, let alone people who practice Taoism?"

"People who practice the Tao need to walk out of their own way!"

"Under the Golden Immortal, one may be able to learn and imitate others... However, every Golden Immortal has its own way, which is completely different!"

"Think about it carefully, what did your master hear that the grand master is good at? What is the Tao that your master ancestor cultivated?"

Princess Longji's eyes lit up.

She has been wondering about it.

Her teacher, Wen Zhong, practiced the thunder method of the sky, but her master, Doumu Yuanjun, practiced the way of stars, and was also good at the way of stars and swords.

The masters and uncles are all supernatural powers, and they are different from each other.

Long Ji didn't understand in the past, but now he was touched by the queen mother, and he immediately reacted.

Then, Princess Longji thought of a possibility, and she was immediately curious.

Then he plucked up his courage and asked, "Mother, my son wants to ask..."

"Since every Golden Immortal needs to have its own 'Tao', is there only a quota of three thousand Golden Immortals in the world?"

After hearing this question, the Queen Mother looked solemnly at Princess Longji, and then at Chang'e who was equally curious.

Then she stretched out her hand and pulled up a heavy curtain, sacrificed the Lingbao, and covered the hall.

Then, she replied: "Three thousand roads, different routes lead to the same goal!"

"The Dao is like this, let alone a person who cultivates the Tao?"

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother shook her hand slightly, and two peonies planted in the fairyland appeared in her hands.

"Look, these two peonies are equally gorgeous...but can you say that they are one?"

Princess Longji thought about it, and felt that she understood, so she thanked: "Thank you, mother, for explaining!"

The secret of this kind of Dao is not mother and daughter, who will point it out?

Chang'e was still deep in thought, as if she remembered something that had been forgotten.

So, he said softly: "Your Majesty... what about the Golden Immortal?"

She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, in order to compete for the Dao, a war broke out among the demon gods!

360 The five demon gods all stood firm after a bloody battle.

The queen mother nodded: "Beyond the golden fairy, it is naturally different!"

"Not only are the methods different, but also the past and the present!"

"Now is the age of humanity!"

"The human race is the son of heaven and earth!"

"Under the influence of heaven and man, even the Dao begins to reflect the world!"

"Therefore, if you want to prove Da Luo, you need to descend to the mortal world!"

"Borrow the human race's orthodoxy, and practice your own way. If the way is feasible, then you can prove it!"

"If the Tao is not feasible, then the Da Luo cannot be proved!"

"This is the case with Daluo, and the quasi-sage is like this... even a saint, if he wants to transcend heaven and earth, he needs the human race's orthodoxy!"

"This is also the reason why Brother Jiejiao Saint gave a lecture, and the Three Realms trembled. Countless Golden Immortals, Great Luos, and Quasi-Sages are all scrambling for it. In order to be able to enter Biyou Palace and have a place, they will spare no expense!"

"This is the fate of the two of you!"

"This time, if the two of you can comprehend a thing or two from the teaching of Jiejiao Saint Senior Brother, if you comprehend even a little bit, you will be more confident in proving the Dao of the Golden Immortal in the future!"

When the queen mother said this, she lowered her head.

This is also her fate!
For a being like her, a saint who has been proved is like a lighthouse standing in the dark storm.

You can guide her in the right direction!

But now, the Jiejiao sage has made further progress on the road, and is willing to share the results of his progress.

This is equivalent to, on the sea of ​​chaotic avenues, the lighthouse suddenly turned its direction and hit a lost traveler like her with a faint beam of light, illuminating some of the sea in front of her.

Maybe, she could safely avoid those reefs hidden in the darkness.

Princess Longji and Chang'e heard it, but they half understood it.

After a long while, Princess Longji asked: "Mother, didn't you say that... a sage teaches the Fa, and a child with such a superficial cultivation level can't even listen to it?"

"Why do you say this is the fate of the child?"

Chang'e also pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

The Queen Mother laughed: "'Listen' is different from listening!"

"My child is stupid..." Princess Longji didn't understand.

The queen mother explained with a smile: "Brother Renjiao sage once taught the Dharma to all living beings on the feast of the Dao..."

"The five colors are blinding, the five tones are deafening, the five flavors are refreshing..."

"Thus, people who practice the Tao need to have a pure mind and soul before they can see the true beauty of the Tao!"

"so……"

"You can do the opposite!"

"When the sage was teaching the Dharma, he was blinded by the five colors, deaf by the five sounds, and refreshing by the five flavors...Naturally, one leaf blinds the eyes and does not see the mystery!"

Princess Longji was completely confused: "But...if the child can't see anything, can't hear anything, then could it be...could it be..."

The queen mother laughed, but did not explain.

"Princess..." Chang'e saw this, and immediately said: "The five colors, five sounds, and five flavors that your mother said are not true..."

"The so-called blindness, deafness, and refreshing taste are just descriptions..."

"Actually, I want you to close your soul to perceive the outside world..."

"Your Majesty will protect you with supernatural powers and spiritual treasures..."

"When the time comes, you will still be able to hear and feel the mystery of the sage's lectures..."

"But those things that you can't understand, and you can't understand... will be sealed away from the soul, and will still remain in your heart..."

After finishing speaking, Chang'e bowed to the queen mother: "My lady, is what I said right?"

The queen mother nodded with a smile: "The sound is so loud, the great way is invisible..."

"The same is true of the saint's small words and great righteousness!"

"Besides..." The Queen Mother took Princess Longji's hand: "At that time, you will not only be able to get my protection..."

"Your teacher, your master ancestor... even a saint, may shade you one or two..."

"Maybe, it can make people remember more 'small words and big meanings'!"

"Perhaps, even as a mother, you may need to learn a thing or two from you..."

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother sighed in her heart.

Unfortunately, her avatar cannot appear directly.

Otherwise, as the Madonna of Wudang, if you go directly to Biyou Palace, you will definitely be able to sit with the Madonna of Golden Spirit and Sanxiao.

You can get the protection of Jiejiao Monument and Fishing Drum.

In that case, she should be able to remember most of the subtle words and righteousness spoken by the sage!
Princess Longji didn't understand: "Enlightenment?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Of course!"

"The sage speaks the law, transforming the great way into small words and great righteousness, and educates all living beings! It means: the great way enlightens me!"

"As for the junior disciples, listen respectfully to the sage's lectures, and deduce the mysteries of the Dao... Then, retreat and understand the subtle words and great meanings of the sage's words, understand the mysteries, and confirm each other with my way. Take the good ones for my use, and get rid of the bad ones. What I abstain from is the so-called: I focus on the Dao!"

"This is the true meaning of the sage's grand feast!"

"It's also the reason why the immortals of the Three Realms are so eager to follow!"

"It is also the place that other saints also covet!"

"A sage who, after proving the Dao, is on top of the Dao Dao Fruit, and goes one step further... can be the benchmark for all living beings in the three realms, and all monks!"

"Just like the Big Dipper points to the north, the light of Xuanji Yuheng shines on the four fields, even mortals can use it to know the direction in the wilderness..."
