Chapter 498: Sacred and Unknowable

And at this time in the clouds.

By the time the first rays of the morning sun shone on the Cloud Realm, the huge platform was already crowded with people. Today will be an important day, because today is the official beginning of the 100 schools of thought. The first three days were the preaching of the Three Saints, and it was not considered a hundred schools of thought. And today, the Three Sages will talk about the bottlenecks in their cultivation and let everyone discuss them together.

At this time, the three saints were already standing on the platform, and below were the suzerains of the hundred schools of the princes.

"First of all, I would like to express my infinite honor to be able to come to participate in the discussion this time." The first to speak was still the human saint Kongqiu, and his cultivation of the Tao was the most down-to-earth, so it was very correct to let him be the main communicator. "After the first three days of preaching, I believe that everyone has been able to understand our sincerity, so I hope that in the next sermon, everyone can express their opinions and do not hide their personal interests."

"I believe that the understanding in which everyone is in their own hearts is beneficial to all of you here." At this time, Li Boyang also said: "The so-called self-interested people are born, and the altruistic ones are long, if everyone is not selfish, then after this discussion, everyone will have a huge breakthrough in cultivation." ”

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense." At this time, Kongqiu said. Many things are not beautiful when you talk too much, you have already done what you should do, and whether things can succeed or not can only depend on the will of God.

"Now let's talk about the first bottleneck we encountered." Kong Qiu spoke in a bland tone about the obstacles in their cultivation path, "The first bottleneck we encountered was what 'unknowable' was"

Hearing Kongqiu's question, everyone fell into deep thought. This question is too difficult to solve. The Three Sages have become saints, and the bottlenecks they encounter are of course very difficult.

The so-called 'holy and unknowable is God!' They have become great, they have become bright, and they have given birth to all things and become saints. But in any case, they don't understand what the unknowable realm is. This is a kind of way, and it is also the way to become a god.

And it's not enough to know this way. It is also necessary to combine the realm of one's own comprehension and become a god in one's own realm. There are three thousand avenues in the HarmonyOS universe, and each avenue can become a god.

"Everyone can speak their minds freely, even if the reasoning is biased." Seeing that no one spoke, Kong Qiu said that he was encouraging everyone to speak boldly, even if they were wrong. After all, this is a Tao that they themselves cannot understand, and these people in front of them have not yet become saints.

So the Three Sages just wanted to find some inspiration from their whimsical statements.

"Senior Brother Shang Ying, everyone speaks in their underwear. How about you take the lead first? Seeing that no one spoke, Li Boyang directly named Shang Ying, the sect leader of the Legalist family. The Legalist represented by Shang Ying is a peculiar Tao, extremely powerful. And judging from the strength of his supernatural powers, he is not much worse than the Three Sages.

Moreover, Legalism is second only to Confucianism and Taoism in the ranking of 100 schools.

"Since the Heavenly Sage has called me, then I will also talk about my understanding of this path. If there is anything wrong, please don't laugh at the three saints. Shang Ying arched his hand to the Three Sages and said humbly. Ever since he listened to the teachings of the Three Sages, he felt that he had made a huge breakthrough and had vaguely reached the realm of being holy.

If today's 100 schools of thought have a breakthrough result. Then it is not impossible to become a god in the future. Therefore, he did not hide his thoughts, but sincerely discussed the Tao with the Three Sages.

"My Tao is the way of the law, all things in heaven and earth, yin and yang. A break from the law. Lawlessness in the past, not in the present...... The way of the world is all judged by the law, so the way of the world ......" Shang Ying said: "As for the sacred, it is unknowable. In my understanding, this unknowability is a way to control all laws......"

Shang Ying said that the way of heaven and earth, yin and yang run. A break from the law. This sentence shows the true meaning of their Legalism in cultivation, and what he is talking about at this time is the essence of Legalism. In the world, Legalism uses 'no distinction between relatives and relatives, no distinction between high and low, and a break from the law' to confuse the world.

This is to confuse the world and gain the support of the state. Only then did they have to add some theories of governing the country to their own academics, so their 'way of heaven and earth, the operation of yin and yang, and the rule of law at one time' has become a break from the law regardless of relatives or relatives, high or low, and law.

The Legalist theory of politics is more suitable for governing the country than other schools, so the Qin state to which they are attached will be so powerful. This is because the law inherently requires rigor and sanctity. And the Legalists' "lawless past, not following the present" advocates a determined reform, and is even more conducive to the development of a country.

And the fact that he had just comprehended the 'holy and unknowable' as a kind of law that dominated heaven and earth had something to do with the strictness of their Legalists. However, this method of dominating heaven and earth did not solve the doubts in the hearts of the three saints, and did not give them an epiphany.

"Senior Brother Shang Ying, please take a seat." Confucius smiled and nodded, motioning for him to sit down. Shang Ying also realized that his statement was a bit unreasonable, so he sat down in contemplation.

"Senior Brother Guigu, can you tell us what you think?" Kong Qiu said to Guiguzi, the sect leader of the Zongheng family.

"I don't think to become a god is to be holy and unknowable." Guiguzi said: "Who said that the holy and unknowable is God? Why don't we abandon this idea and think about it from the other side? ”

"Senior Brother Guigu's idea is very novel, I will listen to Senior Brother's high opinion." Kong Qiu, Li Boyang, Zhuangzi Xiu Sansheng heard Guiguzi say this, and they all had a sense of surprise. Thinking about what it means to become a god from another direction is indeed a very new idea. The three thousand avenues can all become gods, so there are different ways to become gods.

"God is to place his trust in the heart, to draw the heart, to give the heart the law, so that the heart can know the essence." Guiguzi said: "God is the law of the normal operation of all things in the universe, and the heart is drawn to God together......"

What he means is that God is in the heart, and God can be made with the heart. The Three Sages shook their heads when they heard this, this is a kind of idealism, which is not in line with the views of the Three Sages. If idealism can become a god, then what else do you need to cultivate?

"My point of view is ......" Seeing that there were already two people who had spoken, and the rest of the people began to let go, someone took the initiative to stand up and speak. Seeing someone standing up and speaking, the three saints arched their hands to him as a sign of respect.

The person who spoke was Sun Wu, a representative of the military family, and his voice was like a loud bell, very energetic: "Therefore, the one who is a god is the one who shows it, the one who speaks, the one who has copulated, the one who reproduces, and the one who shows enlightens people's wisdom." He who breeds the multitude and enlightens wisdom is God. Sun Wu continued: "The Three Sages are the world, if they can breed the number of people, then the day of becoming a god is not far away!" ”

What he means is that if he can breed the multitude, create something that benefits the country and the people, and then let everyone be blessed, then he may become a god. The reason why the three saints did not become gods is because the 'merit' is not enough, and if one day the merit is enough, then there is no need to do anything, and they naturally become gods.

His understanding from this aspect also has his reasons, Sun Wu is a member of the military family. As a soldier, there is a deep-rooted concept, that is, to defend the country, sacrifice for the country, and dedicate one's blood. Therefore, he comprehended the way to become a god to merit. Legend has it that some great generals were automatically canonized as gods after their sacrifices, which is a concept of becoming gods through merit.

But his idea also doesn't work, he will be canonized as a god after death, so who will seal him, and what qualifications does this person have to make others gods. After the general dies, he is just a soul spirit, and it will be very difficult to make a spirit directly become a god. What was his purpose in doing this?

Therefore, Sun Wu's words did not allow the Three Sages to gain a comprehension.

And next, the sect master of the Yin and Yang family and the sect master of the Mo family all said their understanding, but they still did not achieve phased results. It is normal that their cultivation is weaker than that of the Three Sages, and that they are not as far as the Three Sages in terms of comprehension. Seeing that there is no gain, the three saints are not discouraged, if they can have an epiphany at once, then it will not be worth breaking through to become a god.

"Your discussion just now seems to be a bit off-topic." Seeing that everyone's discussion was a paragraph higher, Zhuang Zixiu suddenly stood up and said: "Let's discuss what is 'holy and unknowable', and no longer discuss what God is." ”

Although he rarely spoke, every word he said was very powerful. The holy and unknowable is the result of the discussion of the Three Noble Doctrines, and it is the concept that is closest to God. But when many people talk about what God is, they have avoided the topic of what the 'unknowable' is.

So he's now corrected the topic and asked everyone to shift the focus of the discussion to that. The holy and unknowable being God is the result of three months of discourse by the three saints, and they are now ready to start from this aspect.

"Is there anyone else you want to say?" At this time, Kong Qiu turned his gaze to the crowd of the small school behind. The sect masters of the ten major schools couldn't solve it, so he could only pin his hopes on the people behind him. However, this hope did not seem to be very big, although it was not big, and he still asked about it himself.

As a human saint Kongqiu, whether it is in Taoism or morality, his cultivation is superior to others, and he has basically reached the point where there are no flaws. Therefore, he will not look down on the academic schools founded by those who come after him because they are too low-ranked, and the human saint treats everyone equally.

However, under his burning gaze, no one answered. Their cultivation was originally far inferior to Shang Ying, Xin and others, so they were much weaker than them in terms of comprehension.

"I heard that a Chaos Dao has recently risen in Yasukuni, what unique insights does Wang Tianke, the sect leader of the Chaos Dao, have?" At this time, Kong Qiu actually asked Wang Tian directly. (To be continued!)
