Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 223. What is Enlightenment?
Looking at the two figures in front of him that were split from the flames, Li Zhen thought for a while and asked:

"Competition ideas?"

"Both are me, exactly the same, how to compare?"

Lord Fox Qiu asked back.

Li Zhen said directly:
"To be precise, there are no two identical people in this world... Uh, forget it, I didn't say it when I was poor."

Lord Huqiu didn't take it seriously, and manipulating the two figures in front of him began to overwhelm the flames that ignited out of thin air, and words followed the flames:

"I have it, she has it. She will, and I will too. And if this happens, how will the winner be determined? This is enlightenment. Enlightenment, enlightenment... what kind of way do you understand? Your own way.

"Mencius Gao Zixia" said: Therefore, when the sky will send a great mission to the people, they must first suffer their minds and wills, work their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. Zeng benefited what he couldn't.Everyone's birth has his own mission for this world.

For example, if you are a farmer, you were born to farm.After planting the land for a lifetime, the food produced in the land has fed many people.

For example, you are a Taoist priest who was born to practice Taoism.Be kind to others everywhere, and influence all beings to do less evil with kind thoughts.

For example, if you are a soldier and your family and country are in trouble, you have to take up weapons to defend your home and country.

Everyone is born with their own mission and their own destiny.A farmer who farms the land but is too lazy to do it is to escape.Taoist priests do not cultivate good fruits, but instead have evil thoughts, which is also an escape.Soldiers deserted or fled.

The Master said: If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening.

This is enlightenment.Enlightenment does not mean how well-informed your thoughts are, or how advanced your martial arts are.The most important thing is that you can understand your own principles and implement them... In the words of Daomen, there are fifty great avenues, fourty-nine Tianyan, and only one of them can be avoided.This "one" is humanity. "

Speaking of this, when Li Zhen was still thinking about how this sounded similar to "Fatalism", the flames in front of him changed.

The two people who were originally evenly matched were suddenly crushed by the other.

The flames turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Finally, it slowly disappeared.

Behind him, a lantern lights up.

"The free environment is a good competition for thoughts, but the so-called enlightenment is to understand the rules for this world, and then set up your own rules from the rules given. This rule has nothing to do with the size, but about whether the thoughts are pure or not. .As long as you can understand, then from now on, you are a part of the way of heaven. You are a part of the rules. If people don’t die, the rules will never die. If the rules don’t die, you can live forever.”

Li Zhen was a little dizzy.

Take these words apart, and he understands every word.

Can be combined... but always feel very obscure.

After thinking about it, he asked:
"Then... Enlightenment is to set rules for yourself...or this world?"

"good."

Lord Huqiu, who had just drank a glass of wine, nodded.

With a hook of the hand, the drop of wine hanging from the spout floated in front of him out of thin air.

"These rules are unreasonable. For example, this is obviously wine, but under the rules, it can turn into fire at any time..."

As she spoke, she seemed to want to touch that drop of wine.

But the moment his fingertips were about to touch the drop of wine, he flinched.

"And that's why I said that you can understand this truth now, which is not necessarily a good thing."

"...Why? Isn't it better to understand this truth earlier than to be ignorant?"

"Yes, it's a good thing."

Listening to Li Zhen's words, Mr. Hu Qiu was affirmative at first, but then asked a very crucial question:
"So, Taoist priest, how many rules do you think there are in this world?"

"Uh……"

Li Zhen was speechless.

I heard Master Huqiu himself say:

"You sound enlightened, but you don't understand that manpower is limited. Like it."

Pointing to the drop of wine:
"It's obviously wine. It's brewed from five grains and water. How does it become wine? Why does it make people dizzy just by mixing it together? And why does it turn into a flame? Where do you know the rules? Depend on yourself Groping? Or listen to someone explain to you? On the night of Qiemo, for example, the wooden bird I threw towards the basement. The wooden bird is a dead thing, why can it fly after burning a few words? What happened in the basement? Do you understand these principles?"

"……don't know."

But I understand the principle of wine making.

he said heartily.

"Then let you start pondering from scratch, how long do you think you will have to ponder?"

"..."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Master Huqiu shrugged:

"Look, this is the truth. The wooden bird was made by Lu Ban. Lu Ban translated the truth allowed by the world into words and passed it on to future generations. When people of later generations learn it, they don't have to think about how it is done. As long as you know how to draw and use it, you will be fine. The rules between the heaven and the earth have been researched for thousands of years, and some generalities have been gradually figured out.

And this is the role of sect inheritance.If you have a teacher's inheritance, then you don't need to explore those principles by yourself.Instead, you continue the path opened up by your predecessors, paved the way for you before, and pursue your own path.You don't need to waste time groping, just inherit it.What about you? "

The drop of wine was evaporated by the high temperature without a trace.

Although separated by a bamboo hat, Li Zhen still noticed two eyes on him:
"You practice according to your own will. Although you are a Taoist priest, you don't accept scriptures, and you don't worship the master. After all, you are just a casual cultivator. If you can cultivate to a comfortable state, your talent is enough to make you People look at it with admiration. But in the same way, if you are still a piece of rough jade when you are still out of the dust, you can still polish it. But when the casual practice reaches the comfortable state, it means that you have already gained a level of awareness of your own power. And At this time, unless you join a sect that agrees with your ideals, or inherit the same lineage, and continue to follow the path of pursuing truth set by your ancestors, you can make progress. Otherwise..."

Master Fox Fur shook his head:

"If you want to find out by yourself, no matter how talented you are, or what adventures you have, it will be very difficult... And this is only for ordinary casual cultivators. But what about you? You are in a comfortable state, to be honest, I am really It's the first time I've seen you.

It was also the first time I heard that someone in the free state did not practice any powerful and incomparable moves, but used spiritual thoughts to control energy and kill the enemy to protect the body.Instead, I set a rule for myself inexplicably... Let's just conclude that your rule is quiet and inaction.Transform energy into formless, return to nature.

The ability is amazing, when you come across a state where you don't control things with thoughts, but control energy with thoughts, he may look like an unarmed ordinary person in front of you.But... Taoist, how should you continue to go down your way? "

she asked.

"You have set the truth for yourself and set the rules. But where do you go to realize this truth, and where do you go to find it? I have never heard of or seen your way. Even in Taoism... Zhang Daoling founded During the Five Dou Rice Religion, although they used the classics of Taoism, there are differences after all. The Taoism of all dynasties has taken the country and the country as its mission, strengthening the righteous and eliminating evil, and universally saving all living beings. It is normal and understandable. And the Taoism among the hundreds of schools of thought in ancient times , what you are looking for is the heaven and the earth, and the current Taoist sect from the inheritance of Zhang Daoling's Five Dou Rice Religion is to transcend and become a fairy. What about you? You don't rely on both sides. Heaven and people, you are not separated from both sides, what are you doing?"

"..."

Facing Mr. Huqiu's deep curiosity.

Li Zhen remained silent.
