Chapter 896: The Sutra of Tranquility
When he was in school, Ye Xing, who was a top student, not only studied well, but also read a lot of extracurricular books, including a book dedicated to the glaciers of the North Pole and Antarctica. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As mentioned in the book, some glaciers can go all the way to the bottom of the glacier through tunnels in ice caves. Ice caves are single, dendritic, and have holes in the holes. The icicles in the cave are numerous, the ice stalactites are suspended, and the pattern of the cave is very beautiful. Some of the ice cave exits are suspended high on the ice cliffs, forming a spectacular ice water waterfall.
The current ice cave is very similar to the one described in the book, making people feel like they are in a crystal palace.
Ye Xing walked down the tunnel in the ice cave to the depths, he found that the deeper he went, the wider the space around him, the tunnel that could only accommodate two or three people gradually widened, and finally Ye Xing actually came to an ice room.
The whole ice room is very large, with beds, tables, and chairs...... Everything is furnished, but it is carved from ice, and even in such a cold environment, these ice tools are still cold.
"It's ...... Bookshelves?" Ye Xing walked around the ice room and found a bookshelf carved from ice, and there were a lot of jade slips on the bookshelf.
Ye Xing picked up a jade slip casually, opened it and glanced at it.
"There is a mixture of things, and they are born from nature. Lonely, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, the word is the way, and the name of the strong is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big. There are four major domains, and people live in one of them. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. ”
This is the twenty-fifth chapter of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", which roughly means: there is a kind of object that is chaotic, boundless, imageless, soundless, and unified, and it existed long before the opening of the world. Unique, unique, unrivaled, following its own laws and never changing, running in cycles that never stop, it can be the root of everything in the world and even the source of heaven and earth. I can't describe exactly what it is, except to call it in general terms with the Tao, and reluctantly describe it as "great." "Big" means that it is constantly moving and changing, that is to say, it is everywhere and far away, traveling through the past and present, the eight wildernesses and the six together, reaching the extreme distance and returning to the root of things. It is precisely because the Tao is so endless that the Tao is very large, and thus the heavens, the earth, and the people who follow the Tao are all very large. There are four "greats" in the universe. People are also one of them. Man must follow the laws of the earth, the principle of the earth is subordinate to the heavens, and the heavens use the Tao as the basis for their operation, and the Tao is natural and unpretentious.
This is a kind of understanding of the Tao, very thorough, Ye Xing read it once, quite touched. However, this understanding was not of much help to Ye Xing. Even if you are familiar with the Taoist scriptures and deeply understand the meaning, you can memorize them backwards, but if you can't have an epiphany, it is meaningless.
Ye Xing put down the jade slip and picked up another one.
Daosheng Method. Those who have the law can lead to gains and losses with a rope, and those who are straightforward and upright, those who hold the Tao, who dare to violate the law, who dare to abolish the law, who can □ lead themselves to the rope, and then see the world without confusion......
"This is the ...... of the Emperor's Sutra" Ye Xing put down the jade slip and picked up another jade slip.
"This is the Nanhua Sutra...... This is the Yin Fu Sutra ...... the Chongxu Sutra......"
Lao Jun said: The avenue is invisible, giving birth to the world, the avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon, the avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time. The husband and the Taoist: there is clear and turbid, there is movement and stillness, the sky is clear and turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is quiet, the man is clear and the woman is turbid, the man is moving and the woman is quiet, and the capital is reduced to the end, and all things are born. The pure, the source of turbidity, the movers, the foundation of stillness, people can always be quiet, and heaven and earth are all returned......
This is the "Sutra of Tranquility", which talks about the "invisible avenue", which requires people to start from the heart and use the "pure and quiet" method to explore the avenue. The number of words is not much, the whole article is only more than 500 words, but every word is fine.
Ye Xing hadn't read this "Qingjing Sutra" before, but now that he read it again, he couldn't help but feel a storm in his heart.
For example, the "Emperor's Sutra", "Nanhua Sutra" and so on, most of these scriptures are talking about what is "Tao", and it is the people who write them who tell the Tao as they understand it.
However, there are three thousand avenues, and the "Dao" that everyone understands in their hearts is different, even if the two of them practice the same Dao, they will definitely be different, so such a scripture, unless you can have an epiphany of the meaning of the Great Dao, otherwise it will not mean much to the cultivator after reading it.
However, this "Qingjing Sutra" is different, although the number of words in the full text is not much, but it is more like a method, requiring people to start from the heart and use the "Jingjing" method to visit the road of enlightenment.
The full text of the "Qingjing Sutra" can be divided into a total of fifty-seven paragraphs, in Ye Xing's view, these fifty-seven paragraphs correspond to the fifty-seven realms, and those who cultivate this method can become enlightened as long as they can cultivate these fifty-seven realms one by one.
Such a jade slip, if you get it to the Firmament Continent, it will definitely make people crazy, but on the earth, you must be able to find the content of the "Qingjing Sutra" with a casual Baidu look. But how many people know his worth.
In fact, even if they knew that it was a cultivation method, it was useless, because people who were not cultivators would not be able to cultivate at all, and even if the method was put in front of them, they would not know the method of cultivation, and they would not be able to cultivate.
Ye Xing had the intention to take this jade slip away, but after hesitating, he still put it back. He has memorized the contents of the "Jing Jing Sutra", and it is the same whether he takes it or not.
Putting the "Qingjing Sutra" back, Ye Xing continued to look through the jade slips on the bookshelf, one after another, almost all of them were scriptures about Taoism.
I don't know who the owner of this ice room is, or if it's still there, but I don't think it should be a great person.
"I have been seeking the Tao for 3,168 years in my life, although I have countless paths, but after all, it is not Erer, as the saying goes, the avenue is three thousand, but there is no one that can live with the sky, long for thousands of years, but in an instant, even if the world is invincible, looking at all directions, but it is dust, what is the meaning? ”
This is a small biography of a character, it seems that it was written by the owner of this ice room, Ye Xing felt terrifying enough after reading it, and even felt that the person who wrote this biography was not bragging.
The general meaning of this small biography is that no matter how powerful a person's cultivation is, even if he is invincible in the world, he will only have a situation of tens of thousands of years at most, and in an instant, he will eventually return to dust and dust, which is meaningless at all.
