Rebirth of the Great Desolation: I am Red Cloud

Chapter 195 Questions and Answers
In the outer void, the prehistoric sages launched a series of battles, and the battle was fierce, especially after the Hongyun sage sacrificed the world-destroying plate, he smashed countless stars, making the entire outer void appear dilapidated, although in the end it was Daozu Hongjun Under the mediation of the sage, the saints stopped, but every saint knew that the final winner of this battle was Hong Yun, or Hong Yun won the victory on behalf of the Dao of Heaven. , Hongyun's prestige among the saints has reached a new height, and Lao Tzu and others have to accept this reality when their skills are not as good as others, and they have returned to the original plan. However, after this battle, everyone first The opportunity is lost, everything has to be arranged according to Hong Yun's wishes.

The Taoist ancestor is gone, so are the saints. The dilapidated outer void is empty and dead, but the saints don't think about what the outer void will look like. What the saints think about most is how to get the most benefits after this battle Fortunately, Hongyun followed the way of heaven and did not get too entangled in the simultaneous development of Buddhism and Taoism. According to the plan in advance, he assigned the duties of the newly established Theravada Buddhism one by one, and the position of the left protector of Theravada Buddhism remained Handed over by Hongyun to the Lantern Taoist who explained the teachings, the eight hundred Dharma Protector Arhats were divided into one and half by Jieyin and Tongtian, and they were divided cleanly. The merits and virtues of the Westerners were divided, and the western religion took an extra share of the merits, and some trivial tasks were handed over to the western teachers. This made the mentality of the westerners with incomplete merits more balanced, and each Fang all settled down, and when everything was settled, the saints dared not disobey the decree of their ancestors, and all returned to the mountain one by one, waiting for the millennium.

After the discussion of the saints, the four major sects were running like a machine. The human religion was summoned by the leader, Lao Tzu, and made detailed arrangements for the Tang emperor's throne. Li Shimin was determined to be the heir to the throne, and he stopped fighting with the Western countries. From then on, exchanges were strengthened, exchanges were made, and government orders were issued to the people at once. After a long war, all the people felt safe, and the whole country celebrated. The Taoist temple, devoted himself to practice, and the prosperity of the past was restored in the city of Chang'an.

All forces withdrew from Chang'an, and Hongyun's sect was no exception. They all left Chang'an City one by one. He Lu insisted on the teacher's decree, asked the Bull Demon King to withdraw from Hangu Pass, and led hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers back to Cuiyun Mountain. From then on, he lived by the mountain and devoted himself to practicing. Hongyun and others stayed in Chang'an City with him. Disciple, the battle at Hangu Pass is over. The Bull Demon King planned to take the pregnant Rakshasa girl back to Fenghuo Island, but he did not get such an order from the teacher. The Bull Demon King would not dare to disobey the teacher's order Therefore, I followed my brothers and sisters to continue to stay in Cuiyun Mountain to cultivate. In addition, Hongyun asked Kong Xuan to go to Shouyang Mountain. Lao Tzu worshiped Lao Tzu in the Dojo of the Earth Immortal Realm. , Turn Hu into a Buddha, and earn a share of the merits of Lijiao. In this way, everything is back under Hongyun's control.

Among the many disciples of Hongyun, apart from Gongming and Yunxiao, Kong Xuan is the one with the highest prestige. This is due to the fact that Kong Xuan traveled to the prehistoric regions in his early years, experienced countless hardships, and had the strongest heart. Jinyi is also the fastest one. Its main body is the peacock, and its bloodline belongs to the demon clan, and it is also the bloodline of the bird king Phoenix. Great Wisdom has integrated his own good, evil, and obsessive three corpses, and cut the corpse on top of the five-color divine light. Although it is suspected of being a coincidence, it is still a different way. Right now, he has cut three clones, and his cultivation is unpredictable. Under Gongming, because the practice is progressing rapidly, and the understanding of the way of heaven is lacking, Kong Xuan's practice is at a bottleneck at this time, so Hongyun gave Kong Xuan the merits of Lao Tzu's teaching, hoping that he can grasp this. This opportunity, to deeply understand the way of heaven, in order to be exhausted.

When Kong Xuan learned that the teacher actually asked him to serve Lao Tzu, and sent a letter to turn Hu into a Buddha and earn the merit of establishing a religion, Kong Xuan's head was buzzing. He couldn't believe this fact. There are so many senior brothers in Fenghuo Island. In the middle, there are brothers and sisters on the top, and brothers and sisters on the bottom. I can't say it in any way, but the teacher knows that I don't have enough understanding of the way of heaven, and I can't make any progress for thousands of years. I feel very depressed. Now But he gave this rare merit to himself. Since the beginning of the prehistoric era, apart from a few saints who established a great religion and combined their own obsession with the merits of establishing a religion to prove the Tao and become holy, there is still half of it. I don't want my own opportunity to come at this time. As for whether I can grasp it or not, it depends on my luck.

Kong Xuan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and bowed three times in the direction of Fenghuo Island to thank the teacher for his great virtue. Next, he jumped up, and the nothingness body technique was fully unfolded, combined with the heaven-defying Dao Jue, but it was much faster than his own Yuji. The breeze blows on the face, but it is extremely refreshing. Shouyang Mountain arrives in a blink of an eye. This Taoist temple opened by Lao Tzu from the earth and immortals is only taken care of by a few Taoist priests arranged by Master Xuandu on weekdays. The name of the hall is Bajing Palace. It stands on the middle of the mountain, with flying eaves and ridge tops.

Shouyang Mountain is Lao Tzu's dojo. Kong Xuan dare not ride clouds on the mountain. Fenghuo Island doesn't care about customs and etiquette, but pays attention to the respect of elders in the hearts of disciples. If there is no courtesy here, I will not blame If the teacher knew about it, Kong Xuan would inevitably be reprimanded, so as soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Kong Xuan immediately adjusted his figure, and after everything was fully prepared, he walked step by step along the mountain and land to the Bajing Palace on the middle of the mountain. While walking, looking left and right, admiring the scenery in Shouyang Mountain, this mountain is the dojo of Lao Tzu and the sage. He is light and healthy, and has a wild personality. From time to time, a few spirit monkeys rush out of the forest and lie in the middle of the mountain road, waving their arms, looking like a king of the mountain. Kong Xuan couldn't help laughing, but he didn't want to hurt With their lives, they gently spared these weak creatures, allowing them to mess around behind them.

Kong Xuan has practiced for hundreds of millions of years, and he has already achieved a great level of cultivation. Although he can't ride the clouds at this time, the journey of Shouyang Mountain is not a problem for Kong Xuan at all. Besides, there is a rugged mountain road in the mountain, which leads directly to the Eight Scenic Spots. There is no need to be afraid of finding the wrong way, so Kong Xuan, who was anxious in his heart, came to the outside of the Bajing Palace in less time than the teacup. The gate of the Bajing Palace was closed, and the whole palace was quiet, like a There was no one around, Kong Xuan lifted the front of the Taoist robe with one hand, knelt on the ground outside the palace gate, and said in a low voice while worshiping: "Disciple Kong Xuan came to pay homage to the uncle under the order of the master. Please see Master."

Kong Xuan’s etiquette is comprehensive, and his words are also extremely polite. Besides, Laozi sent a letter to turn Hu into a Buddha. The strategy of establishing Hinayana Buddhism was proposed by Hongyun, and the plan was made by Hongyun. After the foreword, against the sage Jinkou, after a lot of gambling with Hongyun, under the market of destroying the world, under Hongyun's deliberate humility, he was still defeated and almost lost his life. Lao Tzu knows better than anyone what the consequences will be if he destroys the world market. Hongyun controls the balance for the way of heaven, which represents the way of heaven. People can't compete with heaven, not even a saint.

It is precisely because of various reasons that when Hongyun asked Lao Tzu for a share of the merits of teaching to his disciples, Lao Tzu agreed without hesitation. Jun has been in harmony with the Tao and has become a law-like existence. If it weren't for the saints who went too far, the Taoist ancestor would never show up easily. I don't know how to alleviate it, but Hongyun came to ask for merit. Although he had to give this merit due to emotion and reason, but at this juncture when the battle has just ended, sending this merit is considered a A favor is not.

The creaking Bajing Palace door was opened, and the Great Master Xuandu arranged the two palace gates on the left and right. The door was wide open, and the warm sunlight immediately illuminated the entire hall. Xuandu came out and saluted: "Fellow Kong Xuan has come all the way, but he never greeted you from afar. Please forgive me."

"Don't dare, dare not, Senior Brother Xuandu is being polite. Kong Xuan is ordered by his master to come to pay homage to his uncle, to accompany him around, and to ask his senior brother to introduce him to Kong Xuan." Kong Xuan raised his hand and returned the salute to Xuandu, explaining directly intention.

"Teacher is in the back hall, fellow Taoists, please follow me." Xuandu led Kong Xuan into the main hall with empty hands, and went straight into the back hall to pay respects to Lao Tzu.

Sitting upright on the futon, Lao Tzu was bowed down by Kong Xuan, and after glancing at Kong Xuan with his eyes, he didn't say a word. One on the left and one on the right, they sat on the futon in front of Lao Tzu, imitating Lao Tzu, with their eyes lowered, comprehending Taoism in their hearts. Words, just sitting in meditation to enlighten the Tao, you know that the time to establish a religion has not yet come, and when it comes, you can rest in peace, so that you can enter the quiet hall and enlighten the Tao.

Kong Xuan immersed his mind in Dantian Zifu as before, urging his skills to circulate slowly, the true essence circulated happily in his body, kept moving away from the trap, moving Zhou Tian, ​​and constantly comprehending the Dao Heart, and he didn't know After a long time, I only heard a whisper in my ear: "The way of heaven is to make up for more than enough damage, and the way of man is to make up for more than enough damage. Why not?" The voice was not loud, but it went straight to Kong Xuan's heart In the middle, he directly awakened Kong Xuanzhi from the samadhi. Although he woke up, he was attracted by the Ji language, and kept thinking about it in his mind.

"The way of heaven is constant, if you take more to make up for less, or only take nothing to help, then disaster will come from life, and the way of heaven will be damaged. The fruit of human beings may be deficient in nature, but they can be made up by other methods in the day after tomorrow, which means that there is still a chance of life." " Xuan Du's voice reached Kong Xuan's ears, this explanation can be regarded as quite satisfactory, but Kong Xuan's heart moved for no reason.

Through Lao Tzu's question, Kong Xuan thought of a lot, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind, which were more or less his own understanding of the way of heaven and the way of man in his daily life, mixed and mixed, with different opinions , Kong Xuan carefully sorted out the clues, and when he had an idea in his mind, he followed Xuandu's words and said: "The way of heaven is constant, the luck of luck is constant, and the way of heaven is the law. If you only take but not make up, if there is something missing in luck, the way of heaven must have something." Damage, but under the law, except for saints, all kinds of living beings cannot escape. Therefore, it is not that it is not repaired, nor is it that it is not sufficient, but that the heavenly way will not last, but if you go against the sky, you will eventually make up for it. At that time, although the human race was the protagonist of the wild, without the power of the witch race, without the power of the monster race, its power was meager and already insufficient, but the human race learned without authorization, summarized, summed up, changed people into themselves, always climbed upwards, and constantly surpassed themselves, Anyone who bows to himself and stands in the world by doing things himself, so as to make up for his own shortcomings, can see that the good turns into a wonder, and the good turns into a monster. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. As for how to grasp it, it is only a matter of square inches." Kong Xuan closed his eyes and took a look. He said what he wanted in his heart in a short pause, the voice was not loud, but it was enough for a hall with only three halls, Lao Tzu and Xuan Du both heard it clearly.

After Kong Xuan finished speaking, Lao Tzu shook his head lightly. From what he saw, he was quite satisfied with what Kong Xuan said. After hearing this, Xuandu stared at the boss. After a while, he looked at Kong Xuan with approval. Xuan, actually felt a little ashamed, and Kong Xuan also guessed that Lao Tzu's master and apprentice might often ask and answer questions like this under Lao Tzu's little action and Xuan Du's approval, but he joined in today. I don't quite get used to it.

"Of course, there is a way to educate the human race, know common sense, understand temperance, and not go against the sky." Kong Xuan's statement must be relatively new. After hearing this, Lao Tzu's thinking broadened, so he asked another question, but this question contained Compare the meaning of Kong Xuan.

"Uncle Hui, my family teacher has a saying that the difference between human beings and other living beings lies in their comprehensive intelligence and wisdom. There are many deficiencies in their own blood lineage inheritance, and those who have more damage have a large number of human races. They are not enough to understand where the Dao lies. Although there are three emperors to establish ethics and five emperors to rule the world, it is still not enough to protect the way of heaven. Therefore, Cheng Zhiren, righteousness, respect for reason, wisdom, and trustworthiness are the foundation of the human race. "Kong Xuan also searched his brains, and listed what he had learned in his life. Most of them were the views taught by Hong Yun, and he also had his own understanding of the way of heaven and the general trend. Although it was not very accurate, it was another shortcut.

"Knowing benevolence, practicing righteousness, respecting reason, being wise, and keeping promises are the ways of a gentleman. If you don't understand the Dao and don't know the number of days, how can you transcend the Dao?" I agree with these five aspects, but I never forget to transcend life and death and jump out of reincarnation.

"Dare to ask my master, among all kinds of creatures in the prehistoric age, how many people have been able to transcend the three realms, jump out of the five elements, and achieve success in the immortal way through hundreds of millions of years of hard work? The master's dialect says that the damage of human beings is not enough to make up for it. What can be done to make up for it? Is it possible to educate all beings?" Kong Xuan asked back without thinking, and he was stunned by Lao Tzu's question. After thinking about it, what Kong Xuan said was also reasonable. How many people can achieve the way of immortality? The saint's direct disciples can't transcend the way of heaven, so how many opportunities can other monks have, but they are too ambitious and have entered a misunderstanding. Proving the Tao by force is not by virtue of the merits of teaching, but it is so.

In this way, Kong Xuan and Xuandu attendants sat around Laozi day and night, playing quiz games with Laozi and his disciples from time to time. Regarding the laws of heaven, no matter whether it is Laozi or Hongyun, everyone has a different understanding. Under Hong Yun's professor, his understanding was also lacking, but during the question and answer with Lao Tzu, Kong Xuan's understanding of the way of heaven has deepened a lot, and his thinking has also broadened a lot. , but it has long been forgotten in the back of the mind, and he has realized the Dao with all his heart.
