Strange Sequence: Longevity from Guoshu

In the preaching hall of the outer gate of Canglan Sect.

Li Zhi saw that there were already many people sitting in front of him, so he stopped waiting and started to preach.

This time Li Zhi did not use the form of dialogue with the disciples like before.

First ask questions, then lead them to think together, and then give a classic to explain and inspire.

Instead, as soon as he came up, he went on to tell a long and famous article.

"This article is called "Xiaoyaoyou": There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don't know how many miles it is; when it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. The back of the Peng, I don't know how many miles it is. Also; it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky."

The reason why Li Zhi did this was that since the cause and effect of preaching had been determined, there was nothing to worry about. He just told the whole article so that the influence could spread faster and accelerate the fall of cause and effect.

Secondly, he himself was in a state of uncertainty. He said he was giving a sermon, but in fact he was just meditating on famous classics with his disciples, trying to calm down his mind and see if he could gain some enlightenment at the same time.

And what he chose was the first chapter of "Zhuangzi".

This way of reciting the whole chapter without thinking about it immediately confused everyone present.

Disciples who often came to listen in the past found that the form of Li Zhi's sermons had changed, and they quickly concentrated on memorizing and understanding it.

The disciples who came here for the first time looked confused and had no idea what Li Zhi was talking about.

However, as "Xiaoyaoyou" continued to progress, they were soon overwhelmed by the beauty and majesty of Kunpeng, and slowly they began to listen to it purely as a story.

"Small knowledge is not as good as great knowledge, and small years are not as good as big ones. How can you know this? Chao bacteria don't know Hui Shuo, and worms don't know spring and autumn. This is the small year. There are ghosts in the south of Chu who regard five hundred years as spring, and five hundred years as spring. The year is autumn; in ancient times, there were people with big trees who regarded eight thousand years as spring and eight thousand years as autumn. This is a great year. It is not sad for everyone to compare it. "

After Li Zhi finished speaking the first paragraph, he stopped and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask!"

The disciples sitting in the front row glanced at each other, and then An Zhengcheng, a disciple of the true clan, stood up and asked: "Where is the Beiming that Senior Brother Li mentioned? Is his Kunpeng the Dongxuan Great Demon?"

Li Zhi shook his head slightly and said: "Don't worry about the names. The so-called Beiming and Kunpeng are true and false. They are just flying flowers. They are not the true meaning. Please don't ask about the names anymore. Let's talk about your understanding. !”

An Zhengcheng was a little embarrassed, laughed dryly and sat down quickly.

Then Gao Ce asked: "Senior brother, the comparison between these two insects, Xiao and Xuejiu, and the Kunpeng with wings hanging from the sky, points out that monks of our generation need to have high aspirations, look at the sky, and not just look at the sky. Put it in one sect and one place, otherwise you will be nothing more than an insect on the ground for the rest of your life. Be like a big roc, with water hitting three thousand miles, and soaring up to ninety thousand miles!"

After Gao Ce finished speaking, the disciples in the field might have some thoughts, thinking that Gao Ce was indeed the one who had been with Li Zhi for the longest time, and indeed he had certain insights.

Who knew that Li Zhi still denied Gao Ce's understanding: "That's the debate between the small and the big. The roc is flying when it hits the water for three thousand miles. The small insect floats up and down among the grass and trees. It's also flying. It's also flying. What's the matter? Is there an essential difference?”

Although Li Zhi was speaking to Gao Ce, he was also asking himself.

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

After Gao Ce was denied by Li Zhi, he looked more relaxed than An Zhengcheng before. But after sitting down, he frowned and fell into deep thought again.

"There is a big difference between the small and the big. Everyone is envious of Kunpeng's water hitting three thousand miles and soaring ninety thousand miles. They disdain small things.

But everyone has overlooked that big things take off with the help of strong winds, and even if there is strong wind, if the accumulation is not deep, it will be unable to carry its big wings.

Therefore, even the son of a genius like Kunpeng must take advantage of the situation, follow the trend, accumulate foundation, and be able to soar in the great world with the blue sky on his back! "

Lan Ze recalled his own experience and said aloud.

"It's just a glimpse, but it fails to see the root!"

Li Zhi didn't open his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking in his mind. Hearing Lan Ze's words, he denied it again.

Everyone heard what Gao Ce and Lan Ze said made sense, but they were all rejected by Li Zhi one by one.

I don’t know what Li Zhi is talking about.

"The big roc needs to wait for the sky to fly. After there is a strong wind in the sky and the earth, it can fly with the help of the strong wind. But if there is no strong wind, the big roc will not be able to fly. Although the two insects are small, they can fly when they get up, even though they cannot fly high. , can’t fly far, but why fly 90,000 miles? Both are flying. The former relies on external conditions, while the latter relies entirely on itself. In comparison, the latter is more self-sufficient.

The title of this article is Xiaoyaoyou. Although everyone yearns for Dapeng, it is controlled by external objects and cannot be free. Instead, it is a small insect on the ground, flying around at will, free and easy! "

An old voice suddenly appeared.

When everyone heard this, they all looked sideways and saw an old man standing next to him.

Some of them knew Old Man Sun and thought to themselves, "Has Deacon Sun from the Outer Gate Hall also come to listen to the sermon?"

Old man Sun has seen many storms in his life. He was also the flying roc bird, but later his cultivation base was damaged and he became a useless person. He suddenly fell from the sky of the Netherworld to the dust and lived in the outer sect of Canglan Sect. .

Like the previous two people, Old Man Sun also felt that Li Zhi's sermon today was specifically for him. However, after all, he had a very rich life experience, and he did see things that were deeper than the previous two people.

After hearing what Old Man Sun said, everyone couldn't help but burst into an uproar and immediately started whispering.

"Doesn't this mean that a high level of cultivation is not as good as a low level of cultivation? Isn't this nonsense?"

"This man is not young, but he can actually say such ridiculous things. Does he believe these words?"

"Senior Brother Li is still too generous. Anyone can listen here. If such remarks are spread, I'm afraid it will damage Senior Brother's reputation!"

"I remember this person is the deacon of the Chuan Gong Hall of the outer sect. He can actually say such a joke. How can he be responsible for the word Chuan Gong again? This time when I go back, I still have to report to the Great Elder to make a decision about this person. Qualified!"

Hearing the crowd getting noisy, Gao Ce stood up without Li Zhi's words, "Everyone, be quiet. We'll leave all discussions later!"

Gao Ce's current status has increased along with Li Zhishui's, and he also has quite a reputation among poor families, so as soon as he opens his mouth, everyone immediately shuts up.

Li Zhi didn't need to open his eyes, he knew it was Old Man Sun just by the voice.

But this time he did not comment on it but started talking about it again.

"My old husband knows that if he can serve as an official, his conduct can be compared with that of a village, his virtue can be matched with that of a king, and he can conquer a country, this is how he thinks of himself.

It is enough to praise him in the world without admonishing him, to criticize him in the world without discouraging him, to distinguish between inside and outside, and to argue about honor and disgrace. He is alive in this world, but it is impossible to count him.

Although this is unnecessary, there is still something to be expected. If you take advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth and guard against the debate of the six qi, and you want to swim infinitely, how can you treat him badly? Therefore, it is said: A perfect person has no self, a god has no merit, and a saint has no name. "

After saying this, Li Zhi opened his eyes and looked at Old Man Sun.

"I've finished telling you the rest, you continue!"

When everyone heard this, Li Zhi actually asked the old man to say more, and they couldn't help but be surprised, "Does senior brother agree with what the old man said before?"

But with Gao Ce's previous words, they could only endure the confusion and doubts in their hearts.

Old Man Sun took a deep breath, "As mentioned in the preface, those who are treated well will not be free, and those who are free will not be treated well. They are self-sufficient. Those who have no self, no merit, and no fame can be free!"

"Keep talking!" Li Zhi looked indifferent and only responded with three words.

Old Man Sun's face had begun to turn red at this time, and he was trembling slightly.

If the Canglan Sect Anbu and those old subordinates saw him like this now, they would definitely be extremely shocked. This master who was famously ruthless back then and didn't even care about life and death could now actually do it. Within a few words, even his body started to tremble. "Wait for something, wait for something. Dapeng, bug, our cultivation is all"

Old Man Sun had lost his composure so much that his voice began to tremble, his face turned from red to pale, and his lips kept slurping, but he couldn't utter another word.

"I don't know!" Finally, after he said these four words, he pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to swallow the words on his lips.

"Don't dare to say? Then let me tell you!"

"No!" An extremely powerful momentum suddenly erupted in the hall, shaking the surrounding air.

The true disciples present here were shocked by this sudden burst of momentum, and their faces all turned pale. They stared in shock, looking at Old Man Sun, who suddenly burst out with a strange and tyrannical momentum that can only be found in the Netherworld Realm.

His face was full of astonishment and disbelief!

As for the outer disciples who were listening at the back of the main hall, when the momentum broke out, a breeze suddenly came out from around them, which actually dispersed the terrifying momentum silently.

They were shocked and trembling violently, but their momentum was dissipated by the breeze blowing from behind.

He immediately turned around and saw two old men, one young man, two men and one woman standing behind him.

The visitors were none other than Canglan Sect Master, the Great Elder and Pei Xuanzhen.

The sect master and the great elder originally went to Pei Xuanzhen's cave together to put pressure on her, and then pretended to compromise.

As he said this, everyone took a step back.

Pei Xuanzhen should not insist on not getting married, and they also agreed to let Pei Xuanzhen find a person she likes among the true disciples of the sect.

Pei Xuanzhen had no choice but to agree.

Then the sect leader said that Li Zhi was starting to preach in the outer preaching hall at this time. He and the great elder wanted to go over to see the situation and asked Pei Xuanzhen if he wanted to come with him.

During his trip to the secret realm, Pei Xuanzhen heard Li Zhi's so-called sermon. At that time, he was in a daze, as if he felt something, but when he thought about it carefully, he got nothing.

She had already made up her mind to listen to Li Zhi's sermon after returning to the sect. Maybe next time, she would be able to find out what was hidden in the trance.

After hearing what the sect master said, she naturally agreed.

The three of them arrived at the outer door together, and they happened to find Old Man Sun in a state of confusion.

The sect leader took action in time to protect the outer disciples.

The sect leader was also shocked. What shocked him was not Li Zhi's sermon. He had just arrived and had not heard anything he said before. What shocked him was Old Man Sun's cultivation.

"Junior Brother's Injury"

The outer disciples didn't know the identities of these three people, but that didn't stop them from being struck by Pei Xuanzhen's charming face, and they were stunned.

Pei Xuanzhen is already very familiar with such looks. She would have felt extremely uncomfortable in the past, but now she has gradually become immune to it and can deal with it calmly.

"many"

"Shh!" The sect master waved his hand, and these people immediately found that their mouths were sealed by a force, and they could not open their mouths!

As soon as the three sect leaders appeared outside the hall, they were seen by Li Zhi.

But he didn't pay attention, and still looked at Old Man Sun.

Perhaps he was the only one in the Canglan Sect who dared to ignore the sect master and the great elder.

"Why not?"

"You can't say this. If you say it, a big disaster will happen?"

"A catastrophe? What is a catastrophe? A catastrophe in the eyes of Erchong or a catastrophe in the eyes of Dapeng?"

"you"

Li Zhi smiled, glanced at the disciples in the city, and then looked at the sect master behind him.

"There is something to be expected, there is something to be expected. The treatment of Dapeng is like the wind. What is the treatment of you and me? What is the treatment of Canglan Sect? It is nothing more than the state of cultivation. If you maintain the state of cultivation, you will not be able to do anything in your life. You can't become an immortal if you are carefree!"

"what!"

"Senior Brother Li, you"

Li Zhi raised his voice and directly suppressed the exclamations of everyone, "This path of cultivation that I have been waiting for is wrong. I have fallen into the heretic and is not the right path. The reason why I talk about "Xiaoyaoyou" today is to Let me tell you this.

Cultivation is not enough to be treated and upheld. If you do not seek the Dao, but simply pursue strength and force, fight and fight wherever you go, you will kill wherever you go. This is already an evil heretic! "

After Li Zhi said this, he raised his head with a feeling.

I saw that suddenly, the sky and the earth turned dark in an instant. The originally warm afternoon sunshine disappeared in an instant, and the entire sky was covered by sudden black clouds.

"And today, I will pass on the righteous way and lead the great road between heaven and earth. Bring order to the chaos!"

"boom!"

After Li Zhi's words, the preaching hall suddenly collapsed and turned into powder and dissipated.

Everyone looked at the disappearing hall around them with blank expressions.

They didn't feel any energy fluctuations just now, and the sound didn't come from the outside world, but suddenly exploded from their hearts!

Just like the power of the Shattered Hall, I don’t know where it comes from.

The same is true for Canglan Sect Leader. Everything just happened was also confusing to him.

Everyone looked up and saw that the sky was full of black clouds. The black clouds seemed to have an unspeakable mysterious power in them.

"Today, Li Zhi passed down the Tao Te Ching!

Let the avenue appear! Everyone, listen carefully!

The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao. The name can be named, but it is not named. The nameless is the beginning of all things, and the named is the mother of all things."

Li Zhi had talked about the Tao Te Ching before, but this time it was different. It came out with Li Zhi's words.

A golden light suddenly flew out of the black clouds.

The mountain-protecting formation guarding the Canglan Sect was not even activated, allowing the golden light to shine directly on Li Zhi, who was still sitting cross-legged.

Immediately, the words in Li Zhi's mouth turned into golden characters and flew towards the sky.

The whole world in this world is trembling violently, as if it is excited about the emergence of the great road! (End of chapter)
