wandering fairy

Although everyone didn't understand, they still listened patiently. Dong Hezi also happily talked about the Tao. As for how much he understood, and whether he would have a chance to understand it in the future, it was out of his control. Let it be fate.

So he went on to say: "There are two types of attachments. One is the things that we have been determined from the moment we formed the fetus, like a drop of water on a snow-capped mountain. When it first falls in a certain direction, the general path of the future It has already been decided. It is the things we encounter, the impressions we have, the thinking habits we develop, etc. when we grow up, these things are aggregated to form the second type of attachment. The combination of the two attachments is It is as indestructible as a diamond! It is like our shadow, controlling our consciousness anytime and anywhere. Many times it seems that I am making decisions, but in fact it is persistence that makes me make decisions. The power of persistence is It is so huge, so deep, and so stubborn, even if you know the path that all desires are not self, all emotions are not self, all thoughts are not self, and all thoughts are not self, and if you want to return to the road to the top of the snow mountain, you can do it in various ways. Obvious or hidden attachments will still pull you in an imperceptible way and pull you back. Sometimes you know that certain thoughts and emotions are wrong and harmful, but you still can’t help but feel that you have to do it. This is Like a drop of water flowing down from a mountain, although it knows that it should not continue to flow down, but should return to the road on the top of the snow mountain, it still cannot control its own trend and continues to flow down. This is attachment The more obvious part of the effect. And there are more of the less obvious effects. Although it is difficult to observe the heart, but with certain observation and thinking training methods, you can still get results. But this attachment is extremely difficult to get rid of! You need to hone your mind every day, just like fighting with thousands of horses and horses alone. You are tired and depressed, but you can't see the day of your success. So it is extremely difficult. And ordinary people who will be fine all day long Observing your own thoughts and denying your own thinking? If there are no specific opportunities that force you to reflect on your own way of thinking and mind habits for a long time, then it is difficult for anyone to stick to it. And these specific Opportunities are not good things, they are just things that are huge, extremely difficult, and even if you move, you will be blamed. Ordinary people have no time to escape when they encounter them, so they still have the desire to reflect on their own hearts, and then waste their energy to fight against their own thoughts ? So it's even more difficult."

Everyone bowed their heads and became silent, obviously disappointed.Only the Great Elder Snod was still asking: "Then the third difficulty is the difficulty of habit, to what extent?"

Dong Hezi slowly said with a dignified expression: "Persistence is like a huge iceberg exposed on the sea surface. It is firm and indestructible. And habit is the iceberg that has not yet appeared under the sea surface, ten times as much as the iceberg exposed to the sea! It is not only strong and indestructible. It can gather cold water and regenerate icebergs. It can be said that it is actually the basis of attachment. If you don’t deal with it seriously, even if you eliminate the old attachments, there will still be more new attachments, and even more and more. , In the end, I drowned myself. And habit is the root of nature. There is no way to really get rid of it. It can only be suppressed in a certain way. But suppression does not require brute force or strong will. In fact, the more brutal you use, the more If you want to strengthen your will, it will be even worse! The only way to suppress habits is to use wisdom! My so-called wisdom does not mean sharp thinking and clever mind, but the ability to recognize one’s own ability and get rid of all kinds of attachments and habits. This kind of ability makes people People have it. Even the most stupid beasts have it! This ability is actually used by each of us, every day, every thought, but everyone doesn't know it! To discover this ability, we need to observe at a deeper level, To discriminate and deny your own way of thinking is not only to examine your own mind deeply every day, but also to use a specific method to carefully observe every moment, every thought and every thought. Only in this way can this kind of wisdom that does not belong to the brain, that There is hope to suppress the habit."

This time even Snod was surprised: "There is hope? Isn't it enough to have all these wisdom?"

Dong Hezi smiled wryly and said: "How can it be enough? As I said, this road is extremely difficult, and you can't succeed with great perseverance and ability. There are endless troubles in it. If you relax a little, you will never be able to recover. How many are smart and persevering Badi characters either went crazy or committed suicide on this road. Do you think it’s a good thing to take this road? No! It’s not good at all!! Let’s get back to business, even if you can get rid of attachments and suppress habits The power of wisdom. But there will still be a lot of troubles. These troubles are everywhere and all the time, as if hidden in layers of thousands of troops. There is almost no day out! This is the fourth difficulty All obstacles."

Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads secretly and retreating, Dong Hezi felt at ease: This is normal, otherwise they would all rush to learn the Tao, and the mud and sand would be the result, and they would kill themselves insane and short-lived.Furthermore, cultivating the Tao is indeed not a good thing, because good things and bad things are an unusual smile in all things, and they cannot be said to be good or bad for the Tao that transcends everything.

So he smiled and continued to say: "Walk on my path, and all kinds of obstacles are endless and strange. Don't think that the so-called obstacles are strange encounters. In fact, the obstacles I mentioned may manifest in any form. That is, It may be a very strange thing, or it may be an extraordinary thing. It may be caused by an enemy, or by a friend; or by a subordinate, or by a superior; or by life, or by meditation. Although all obstacles are external things, they can strongly induce inner attachments and habits. If practice and wisdom are like a long embankment that restricts the flow of water, then the external obstacle is an ant nest with a broken embankment, an ant nest It may also destroy the entire long embankment, causing the big waves in the heart to surge out, no matter how difficult it is to deal with. The worst thing is that, whether it is attachment or habit, it is something in oneself, which can be weakened and controlled by certain methods. But outside The existing obstacles are either random or induced by other external factors. They are completely uncontrollable! Therefore, it is difficult to overcome all obstacles."

After a blow, the hearts of all the locals were immediately shaken. Only Elder Snod bit the bullet and asked: "So, is there any way to solve or avoid this danger?"

Unexpectedly, the voice did not fall.But Dong Hezi exclaimed: "Avoid? How can it be done? If you avoid it, you will never learn the true way in this life! All obstacles are the most dangerous enemies, and they are also the ones that expose the mistakes of one's attachments and habits. It is a great opportunity to come out. It can be said that without obstacles, you will not be able to discover the mistakes and omissions of your attachments and habits! If you can find out through these difficult obstacles: From the moment you were born, you have been in various disorders That is the correct way of my path. However, even if you are on the right path, there is still no guarantee that you can return to the Tao. Because there is still the fifth difficulty: the difficulty of avoiding risks. What I call risks The risk is not the risk of success or failure. It is the risk of existence or extinction! It is also named "catastrophe". Walking on the road of my natal medicine fork, there will be many unpredictable risks and disasters coming suddenly. Once I fail, it is not lost. It’s a matter of life, but the end of the broken soul! What’s more, my so-called catastrophe is completely uncontrollable. It’s not that if you are kind-hearted, there is no risk. Sometimes there are more catastrophes; The catastrophe is becoming more and more severe; it is not that you are capable of withstanding the risk. You need to know that many risks do not arise from the outside, but from within yourself, and in an instant, your ability will be exhausted and you will become a mess. It’s just meat slaughter! The catastrophe also varies from person to person. More or less, but absolutely everyone has it, and no one can escape! However, generally speaking, the more you can look inside your mind, the more you can eliminate it. Those who are persistent and who can control their habits will have a greater chance of passing the catastrophe. On the other hand, those who are more opportunistic, more self-reliant, and more dependent on some top-quality magic items or even artifacts, the sooner they will die!"

Wen Erhan wondered: "Why is this? Is there no way to suppress or avoid the catastrophe? At least it must be alleviated. Otherwise, even the soul will be destroyed, and the gods will not be able to be resurrected!"

Dong Hezi shook his head with a smile and said: "Look. You are trying to avoid it again. You can't avoid it! The more people want to avoid it, the worse the end will be! Of course, some people may be able to avoid it for a while, but the place of avoidance The longer the time, the greater the destructive power when the catastrophe finally occurs! Because the catastrophe is actually the best opportunity to recognize yourself and get closer to the Tao! If you are a drop of water mixed in the river, then the catastrophe is a drag Your rising power. The river will naturally dry up slowly after the water drops, so there is a great instinctive fear of flying up. If you have the courage to face the disaster, and even reflect on yourself after the disaster, you will be able to fly to the snow mountain with this rising power On the other hand, if you blindly follow the heart of fear to avoid, then when you ascend to the midair, you will be forcibly stagnated in the midair by yourself, and you will never be in the position of not going up or down, not advancing or retreating, and always hanging in the air. Dangling in mid-air. This seems to be a wonderful sight, but it is actually the most dangerous place. I don’t know when it will be blown away by a scorching sun and a gust of wind! This is the opportunity to completely end the game!"

After hearing the five great difficulties, everyone saw Donghezi's serious expression, and he didn't seem to be lying.They were all cold, and after looking at each other for a long time, Elder Wen Erhan, who only had ogre wizard blood, asked: "Since this road is so difficult to walk, why do you still take this road? Is this road Can you become immortal like a demigod?!"

There are many immortals in this universe, such as oral immortal demigods, ancient titans, certain kinds of higher dragons such as time dragons, not to mention the so-called eternal gods and demon kings.

But Dong Hezi smiled and asked again: "Eternal immortality? Who can really achieve eternal immortality? Are gods or demon kings really eternal immortality? Haha, it's difficult. And the natal medicine that I practice Road, in fact, is only approaching the peak of the snow mountain, not really returning to the original peak! So it is impossible to be immortal. However, after practicing, the physique will change greatly, and the lifespan will indeed be extended to one It’s astonishing. It’s just that it comes at a price, which is the five major difficulties I mentioned earlier.”

Everyone around was silent, until Snod asked curiously: "Then what will happen to the Wulei Yaocha we are practicing now? Can it increase life expectancy?" After all, everyone wants to live a few more years, especially Shamanism is very peculiar.They do not believe in gods, and the final ownership of their souls remains a secret.

Donghezi didn't care about these issues, and told the truth directly: "I see that your physique is also transforming into a certain kind of high-level spirit, and it is expected to double or triple your lifespan. But there is still a time to die. By then If you have practiced the five thunders and medicine forks to the extreme, then there may be some kind of high-level spirit that directly reincarnates into the mirror of bliss. Just like after the death of the Holy Spirit, the soul flies directly into the kingdom of God and turns into an extremely high-level angel. You are the souls who fly directly into the mirror of bliss or the wild of unrestrainedness, and directly become a high-ranking fey."

Seeing that the expressions of the shamans softened a little, Dong Hezi continued to persuade: "Actually, I know that you want to learn the natal Yaksha method from me because you want to gain more power. But do you know? If you always have this in your heart If you don’t have an idea, then you definitely won’t be able to learn my method!”

Everyone asked why curiously, Donghezi explained: "Because your goal is to focus on gaining power, and the core of your mind is also developed around this point, so your mind will be narrowed, and your mind will be like A small container is full of powerful thoughts. Although my natal medicine fork method is not really in harmony with the Tao, it is also trying to get closer to the Tao. The Tao is boundless and boundless, so getting closer to the Tao is also Make your mind boundless like it. If you learn my method for power, it is like holding a bamboo basket to fill water. As much as you pour in, you will leak as much as you want, and there will be no last drop. Not to mention the Taoist is boundless, It is like the sea. How can it be contained in a small container?"

Wen Erhan, however, murmured curiously: "You have to be broad-minded, weak and persistent. Doesn't this make you a good old man?" There were many disapprovals in the words.After all, being a good old man in this world doesn't have much future.

Unexpectedly, Dong Hezi said seriously: "You think the broad-mindedness I mentioned is the virtue of broad-mindedness that ordinary people say? You think that the weakening of the sex that I said is that the sex obtained by ordinary people is a sin, so Want to eliminate it? Hahahaha, you are all wrong! Everything I said seems to be in line with the teachings of some good gods, but everything I said, including broad-mindedness, lowering **, self-reflection, eliminating attachments, etc., is in a kind of kindness The need for evil ethics? Hahahaha everything I said has nothing to do with ethics good and evil! If someone says that Pastor Alilu wants us to abide by the virtue of goodness, that is slandering me! What I just said has nothing to do with any virtue It has nothing to do with it at all! It is only related to wisdom and truth! I observed the truth with wisdom, so I made my own choice. For example, some people do not overeat big fish and meat because of the teachings of gods; It is said that overeating big fish and meat is a bad habit. After hearing the word "bad habit", they don't want to or dare not provoke it. But I really feel the uncoordinated function of the internal organs after overeating big fish and big meat. After a light meal, the viscera and the internal organs work together to produce a hazy life force. Therefore, I guess I voluntarily choose not to overeat big fish and big meat. Others do it because of obedience, and I do it because of observation; It is because of wisdom; others want it in their hearts but are forced not to enjoy it for various reasons, and I make a choice completely voluntarily. The so-called what I said has no essential connection with worldly virtues. The form looks a bit similar, so people confuse it. In fact, it is a big mistake! Alas, you have never observed the key point, so you don’t know what I am talking about. In short, you only need to remember Stay a little longer: Everything I say and do has nothing to do with the worldly ethics of good and evil, worldly virtues and vices, etc.! It is purely a choice I made voluntarily after witnessing the truth with my wisdom.”

Elder Snord next to him asked curiously: "But is chaos a virtue, or is it your voluntary choice? They all require to eliminate attachments and control habits. But attachments and habits are the fundamental source of a person's consciousness. These, I am afraid that a person does not even have thinking. What is the meaning of living like that? Another example is the word Wuwei is mentioned a lot in the scriptures you taught, but if it is really Wuwei, what is there to do with wood and stone? Separate? Or do you mean something else?" He learned his lesson this time, knowing that Dong Hezi's vocabulary is different from that of ordinary people.

Dong Hezi nodded and said: "You really need to explain your question carefully, so that everyone will not misunderstand. What I mean by eliminating attachments or inaction does not mean that you stop thinking or do nothing. What I mean by inaction is not behavior. Inaction, but not deliberately adding or distorting anything in thinking, this matter is very complicated, and can be discussed in detail for months or even years. I can only say a few words today. listen!"
