Chapter 430: On Virtue

"Among them, there are seventy chapters in one of the "Dao", and there are forty and four chapters in the "De" one, which together total nine nine hundred and eighty-one, which is the largest number of the Heavenly Dao." Li Boyang said, "In view of the mystery of the Heavenly Dao, there is no need to talk about it today, I want to explain to you the forty things in "De" first. ”

"To be virtuous or not to be virtuous is to be virtuous; Virtue is not lost, but there is no virtue. Shangde does nothing but does nothing; Xia De thinks about it......" Li Boyang said slowly, "What does this sentence mean? In other words, superior virtue is virtue that is not revealed, and inferior virtue is the kind of morality that appears to be superficial, superior virtue is what seems to do nothing but actually does everything, and inferior virtue is deliberately doing what is called 'virtue'......"

A group of people below listened very uninterestingly, because they wanted to hear the sermon, not the virtue. Wang Tian had also studied the Tao Te Ching before, and had read it all. After his research, the previous chapter is actually only the beginning, and the virtue article is the essence. These people don't like to listen to virtue, and they treat the jewel as rubble.

"The heavens are clear; The land has a single enin; God has one Spirit; The valley is profitable; All things come to life in one; The prince has to think that the world is chaste. One of them is also. Li Boyang continued to speak.

Wang Tian listened as if he understood some of the truths of the way of heaven, one of which is the extreme, the ultimate of heaven is purity, the ultimate of earth is tranquility, and God is the spirit, the valley is fullness, and the ultimate of all things is 'life'.

I don't really understand this sentence myself, because it's something I imagined out of thin air, and I can't do it myself. If you have any ideas below, you can put them forward, and I will study them with you. Li Boyang said. Li Boyang's life is in the Tao Te Ching, but many of them are also imagined by him. Although he is now a saint, his cultivation is far from reaching the extreme.

Wang Tian thought about it carefully, and this sentence is actually the understanding of 'art'. The sky is clear. In other words, the ultimate supernatural power of the Heavenly Dao is Qingming, for example, the mysterious Taobao shopkeeper he met before, one of his supernatural powers, 'Nothingness', has already reached the realm of Qing. Although Confucius is known as the sage of the earth, his magical powers are far from reaching the realm of Ning.

All things have to be born, and the ancient snake demon mastered the rules of inheritance in the past, which is the best interpretation of this sentence. And Wang Tian remembered his sister's two supernatural powers, one of which was: all things are born. In contrast to the other rule, 'inheritance and elimination'.

Inheritance of the rules of the rule of skills: rule skills 1, all things are born: create zào force: 0 - infinity. It can only be used under certain conditions, after level 999.

Rule Skill 2. Legacy Elimination: Destructive Power: 0-infinity. It can only be used under certain conditions, after level 9999.

"I think this sentence of yours is the general outline of the Heavenly Dao, and ordinary people only need to study one of them." At this time, Wang Tian stood up and replied. It's impossible to do it all. Because human beings also have their own limitations, there are many aspects that are difficult for even the ancient demons to do, let alone a mortal?

"Do one of those?" Li Boyang listened to Wang Tian's words thoughtfully. This is the general outline of the Heavenly Dao, and it is extremely difficult to achieve a single sentence, because to achieve the ultimate is equivalent to mastering the rules.

Although Wang Tian now understands the truth of this sentence. But knowing doesn't necessarily mean you can do it. And this is the general outline, just listen to it, and only when you know the general outline will you know the skills and supernatural powers of these rules. And Li Boyang is now a Heavenly Sage, he only needs to study the sentence of Tiande Yiqing. As for what is clear. He still has a long way to go to study and understand.

Li Boyang thought for a while and continued to speak: "The movement of the opposite Tao, the use of the weak Tao, everything in the world is born from existence. Something is born out of nothing. As soon as he said this, the people below immediately came to their senses. Because in this sentence, the Tao is mentioned.

Wang Tian only knows now. Li Boyang's "De" article is actually the "Shu" article, most of which talk about art, and he learned the "Tao Te Ching" that has been circulated for thousands of years, which has been explained and marked by many so-called famous artists. The director thinks that "De" is about virtue, but in fact, he has been misled by thousands of people.

Wang Tian thought carefully about the meaning of his words, and after thinking for a while, he had his own understanding. This sentence is actually about the relationship between the Tao and the arts, and the three thousand avenues are actually related to each other, not independently. For example, the way of killing that I have understood, and the way of death. And the meaning of 'the use of the Tao of the weak' is that the supernatural powers used in the comprehended 'Dao' are a process of gradual accumulation and enhancement.

As for the last sentence: Everything in the world is born from being, and some are born from nothing.

All things in heaven and earth are born from "being", and the source of "being" is attributed to "nothing". "Nothing" is the origin of all things. It's like the Big Bang theory in our physical world. Before the Big Bang was none, and the sum of energies was 0. The various elementary particles formed after the Big Bang are positive, and the table xiàn in their mass and potential energy; The energy of gravity and (negative) dark matter are negative. Although the total energy is still 0, there are thousands of substances on the surface xiàn-shaped shì. This is being born out of nothing.

This sentence belongs to the great supernatural power of the earth system, so the greatest magic power of the earth system is the birth of all things.

"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful. Li Boyang continued.

"Since the Magi said that one begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things...... So what is one, what is two, and what is three? At this time, the huge parrot with the crown on its head raised its head and asked Li Boyang. Wang Tian heard Xiaoling introduce him to him, and this parrot was the monarch of the hairy country, Lord Jipeng. Although Ji Peng was a little unhappy at first when he heard Li Boyang say that he only talked about morality, he began to listen carefully when he heard that he talked about virtue and talked about the aspect of 'Tao'.

Especially when he heard this, he felt very emotional, so he began to ask loudly. If a human asks a teacher, they usually raise their hands and stand up. But it's just a bird, and standing up is no different from sitting. As for raising his hand, he did raise his wings just now.

"yes, what is one and what is two? What does this have to do with our cultivation? Many of the rest began to ask as well. In fact, what they want to know most is whether they can improve themselves and find a shortcut to cultivation after listening to this class.

And when Wang Tian heard this very famous sentence, he fell into thought. Later generations thought that Taoism was passive and inactive, which was too one-sided. I'm afraid they haven't even read the Tao Te Ching, Li Boyang's sentence is a more macroscopic and objective worldview. Taoism is naturally the core idea of Taoism, that is, the law arises (imitates) from the development trend (demand) of things themselves. Don't look at it subjectively, because the more you care, the more counterproductive it is. The culture of Taoism is calm and objective.

"One is chaos." Li Boyang explained, "When heaven and earth are in the future, every plane will be chaotic, which is the so-called one. In the chaos to give birth to great power, and later open the world to become the yin and yang two steam, in which the pure ascends to the sky, the turbidity sinks to the earth, this is the so-called 'two', and the three is the heaven, the earth, and the three talents. Three give birth to all things, heaven and earth give birth to all things, and all things also exist for man......"

Man is located in one of the three talents, so man is also the spirit of all things, the master of all things.

"I see." The others nodded one after another.

"When you say, 'All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and think they are harmonious', do you mean that the way of cultivation is to pay attention to negative yin and embrace yang, and to integrate yin and yang? Impulsive thinking is harmony, which means that the greatest supernatural power is the combination of yin and yang, but what we cultivate is only one way, and we pay attention to only one of the three thousand avenues. It's hard to repair all of them, let alone repair them together? Someone asked puzzled.

"I'm not saying that we should cultivate together, but I just say that each kind of Tao is not stored separately, and there are many aspects to consider." Li Boyang replied.

"We are hairy, not human. So what is our cultivation path? Swift Peng began to ask in place of his subjects. Most of the people here are residents of the Hairy Country, they are all birds, and they belong to the demon clan.

"Positive recovery is strange, good recovery is demon. I'm not a demon clan, how can I guide you to the way of cultivation? Li Boyang replied. After all, he is only a saint, not the god of creation, and of course there is no god of creation in the universe at all. The universe exists because of rules, and not any living being can create it. The power to guide the cultivation path of the demon clan is probably only available in the demon clan. For example, those ancient demons, those holy demons, and so on.

His sentence 'is strange and good is a demon', which is just an understanding of the existence of the demon clan.

"The Tao comes to the world, and its ghosts are not gods. It is not a ghost or a god, and its god does not hurt people. If it is not a god, it does not hurt people, and a saint does not hurt people. The husband and wife don't hurt each other, so the virtue is handed over......" After answering Ji Peng's words, Li Boyang continued to speak.

"What do you mean by this is that the Tao is the greatest in the world, and ghosts and gods do not hurt people, is it because this person has the Tao?" Just then, one of the human in the audience stood up and spoke.

"Yes." Li Boyang replied, "Because the Tao of the world is figured out, if a person has the Tao, then this person is inviolable by ghosts and gods." ”

Wang Tian recalled the "Tao Te Ching" in his memory, and remembered that there was another sentence in front of this sentence, that is, "governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh", and this sentence is highly respected in history. However, Li Boyang did not have such a sentence here, probably because he was convenient for the "Tao Te Ching" to circulate in the world, so he added such a sentence. (To be continued......)
