Chapter 535, Autumn Water Grows in the Sky

Qi Hufei heard Lu Cheng talk about the Demon Sect. Their lineage is very ancient, but it has not been very prosperous, until more than a hundred years ago, a genius came out and found the entrance to an enchantment in the Sunken Continent, and obtained the ancient witch and demon method, so that they really rose.

It is said that when they were at their peak, they had countless supporters, and even the two worlds of immortals and Buddhas had their supporters, and they were so powerful that they dared to openly argue with the heavenly court. But in the end, it was only a flash in the pan, and it was wiped out by the combined army of the Three Realms.

"Demon Sect Master...... Yin Changtian ......"

Qi Hufei looked at the dark figure in the moonlight and the big red cloak he was wearing with a blood-colored red light.

"So you've been influencing me! You are a Heavenly Demon! ”

"Heavenly Demon? Hahahaha......" Yin Changtian laughed, "What kind of thing is a heavenly demon!" Do you think that the leader of the Demon Sect must be a demon? ”

"If you're not a demon, how can you be the leader of the Demon Sect?" Qi Fei Qi said.

"Then tell me, what is a demon?" Yin Changtian said.

Qi Hufei was speechless again.

He has been in such an awkward situation more than once today, because these are fundamental issues.

It has only been twenty years since he stepped into the door of cultivation, and it has only been a few years since he completed the foundation building and reached the achievement of human immortals, and the real realm has improved, and the mana has only increased in the last few months.

Master didn't teach him this. He had asked in the past, but Master would never tell him, only saying, "Master leads you into the door, and the cultivation is in the individual," and let him realize it himself.

He once felt that the difference between immortals and mortals was nothing more than mastering the energy between heaven and earth.

But then it turned out that this was not the case.

Mortals have also mastered the energy of heaven and earth, but in a different way. Progress has been slow, but they are all improving. If the entire human race is regarded as one, as long as they are given enough time, one day they will be able to get infinitely close to the origin of the Great Dao of the Universe.

The only problem is time. But isn't the cultivation of immortals also something that takes infinite years to accumulate?

Therefore, life is constantly improving at the beginning of creation. They originated from the Heavenly Dao, and naturally they would be attracted by the Heavenly Dao and approach her. It's just that each life form is different and takes a different path, but no matter how twists and turns, the final destination is the same.

The saint simply arrived early.

If mortals were given another million years or a little longer, maybe they would be able to reach it too.

On the scale of the Heavenly Dao, a million years is not long. Therefore, compared to mortals, the step ahead of the saint is actually not long.

The way of heaven is like the all-pervasive gravitational force, attracting everything.

Qi Feifei began to understand a little bit what a demon was.

"If you go against the sky, you are a demon." He said.

Yin Changtian nodded and said, "You can't say it's wrong, but you can't say it right." The so-called going against the sky, which day is it against the sky? ”

"Nature refers to the way of heaven." Qi Hufei said.

Yin Changtian said: "But didn't you just say that the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things." The Tao is the origin of everything, you, me, the moon in the sky, the earth under your feet, the sword in your hand, the wind blowing from the mountains...... Mo was not created by the Heavenly Dao, since this is the case, then what is contrary to the Heavenly Dao? How could the Heavenly Dao create something that contradicts it? ”

"This ......," Qi Hufei fell into thought again, "Heavenly Dao will not create things that are contrary to it, but people will do things that are contrary to him. ”

"Who decided to do these things?"

"Is it determined by human consciousness and thought?"

"However, human consciousness and thoughts are also a part of human beings, and since human beings are created by the Heavenly Dao, then consciousness is naturally also created by the Heavenly Dao, so how can human consciousness decide to do something against the heavens? If human consciousness can go against the sky, then does it mean that human consciousness is independent of the way of heaven? Thou said, The Word is the source of all things. But now that there is another thing that is independent of the Heavenly Dao, what is this thing? If it is a demon, do you have to admit that the demon is another source independent of the Tao? ”

Qi Hufei was stupid.

He never thought that Xiu Xian would have to take a philosophy class.

yes, so what exactly is a demon?

According to this theory, all religions in the world, especially monotheistic religions, will be self-defeating. God created everything and man, so who created those pagans? How could God create people who did not believe in Him, who opposed Him, and who even wanted to destroy the sects that believed in Him? Is God here for fun?

Of course, there is no God in this world that people used to talk about in his previous life. The god of this world is Haotian, that is, the Jade Emperor, and he once had a very long name - Haotian Jinque Supreme Supreme Natural Miluo Supreme Jade Emperor God.

There is no one god in this world, and although the saint is high, there has never been a situation where one person has the final say.

If there must be one one, it is the Heavenly Way above God.

But in fact, the way of heaven in many people's hearts is deified, and it is further personified by deification, which is the true way that Yin Changtian said just now when he was arguing with Qi Hufei about truth and falsehood.

And the avenue itself is illusory and indescribable. The real situation arises because it is personified in the human heart.

Qi Hufei has just solved the problem of reality and nothingness, solved the cognition of the real world and the world of the heart, and now a new problem has emerged:

What is Demon? Where did the devil come from? Is it really another source independent of the Tao? But how can there be two origins in one world?

As for those statements about the creation of the Blue Lotus, it is even more nonsense. It is said that everything is the evolution of the Creation Blue Lotus, what lotus leaves have become this, and the lotus petals have become that ......, then, where did the Creation Blue Lotus come from?

This is obviously another manifestation of the objectification of the Tao, which is more low-end than personification. At the very least, personification still has the ineffable attribute of divinity, while objectification completely abandons divinity, deviates from the essence of "nothingness" and "nothingness" of the Tao, and makes it into a "being" entity.

Qi Feifei looked at Yin Changtian in front of him, this Demon Sect Leader must know a lot. The thirst for knowledge has overcome the fear in his heart, he doesn't care if the other party is a demon at the moment, he just wants to know the answer.

Yin Changtian smiled and said, "You don't have to look at me, because I'm not a demon." None of our entire demon cult is a demon. ”

"Then why are you called the Demon Cult?"

"Because I am against the sky, just like you just knew - if you go against the sky, you are the devil. But the heaven that I rebelled against was never the way of heaven itself, because the way is nothing, and what is there to reverse from nothingness? I am rebelling against the rule of the saints under the way of heaven; I am against the innumerable darkness of the sun and the moon; I am against the injustice that cannot be eliminated in the Three Realms...... Excuse me, whose heaven am I rebelling against? ”

"That's why they say you're a demon?"

"Yes. This is what they define as a demon. You see, it's just a concept, a definition. Our world is full of regulations, and we live in a variety of concepts and definitions. Sometimes it's hard to tell which one is the law itself under the Heavenly Dao and which one is the regulation. ”

"So, what is a real demon?"

"Didn't you just say that there are only defined demons, not real demons."

"No, no, no...... I've seen real demons. Qi Hufei said very firmly.

"Why do you think they're demons?"

"They ......"

Qi Hufei found that he couldn't speak clearly.

Is it because they kill people? There are many murderers in the world.

Is it because they have done all the bad things? There are also many bad people in the world.

For example, what he just experienced two days ago is not real or illusory, from Ruan Shaoxiong to Ruan Tianming, they have killed many people, they do all kinds of evil, but are they demons? Apparently not.

Or divide another line and limit a premise, such as having to be a practitioner and having abilities that ordinary people don't have.

So, is Tulaon a demon? It doesn't seem to be.

But the Ninth Master and the Demon Fu are the Devil, which Qi Hufei is very sure of. But he couldn't find a definite reason. It can't be said that it's because they're ugly, right?

"I can't tell!" Yin Changtian said, "In fact, everything is just defined by yourself, and the reason why you gave this definition is influenced by others. This goes back to the topic we just discussed, your mind and world are not firm enough, and your realm cannot reach the realm of too void, the essence of the Tao that you can't touch, so you are subject to too many external influences, especially the influence of the saints' hearts and worlds. They define the devil, and by extension, you define the devil in your heart. ”

But why do saints define demons?

Qi Feifei had some vague thoughts.

He didn't ask the question, but said, "But they are demons!" ”

"You're talking about the Ninth Master and Mofu, right?" Yin Changtian said.

"How do you know?" Qi Feifei was taken aback, and a chill rose in his heart, "You seem to know me very well and know everything about me well. These two days have been affecting me constantly, what do you want to do? ”

Yin Changtian suddenly smiled.

"I didn't influence you, and I didn't want to do anything. Everything you go through is your own experience. As for why it is fragmented, why it is both real and illusory, we have just analyzed it. ”

"Then how do you know me so well, you know everything I've been through?" Qi Jufei asked.

"Because I'm you." Yin Changtian said calmly, "Of course, I know everything about myself. ”

"What?" Qi Hufei thought he had heard it wrong, "What are you kidding!" ”

"No kidding. I am you. You are me. ”

"Impossible!" Qi Feifei would never believe this kind of nonsense, "You just said that you are the Demon Sect Leader Yin Changtian. ”

Yin Changtian said: "I am Yin Changtian. I'm dead. I'm alive again. I died more than a hundred years ago. Living you are who I am now. ”

"That's nonsense! Don't think that you can fool me by using sophistry and selling a few philosophical terms in the immortal cultivation world. ”

"What am I fooling you for?" Yin Chang smiled, "Your cultivation is nothing compared to me a hundred years ago, if I am still alive, if we are two people, I can gently pinch you to death like an ant." ”

"Bragging!" Qi Hufei said disdainfully.

"Your mana has just reached the fifth rank now, and it is still a lot short of the sixth grade, but you still have so much merit in you, it is not difficult to convert it. But do you know how big a gap there is between the sixth and seventh grades? ”

Qi Hufei gasped.

How does this guy know me so well and know everything?

If the power of the Dharma can still be seen, how does he know the merits? If merit can be seen, then what is the merit monument for?

And this guy also seems to know that he is using merit to transform mana. This is one of Qi Feifei's biggest secrets, because it involves the function of his mirror.

"One hundred thousand mana can basically enter the sixth grade, but the seventh-grade heavenly immortal needs at least one million mana, and it depends on the accumulation of his merits, the strengthening of his physical body, and whether the realm can withstand the backlash brought by this million mana." Yin Changtian said.

Qi Jufei was not so shocked, because he had asked Qin Yubai this question, although Qin Yubai did not directly tell him how much mana the Seven Rank Heavenly Immortal had, but Qi Jufei could probably guess it. And he has also seen the immortal-level shots.

But Yin Changtian's next words shocked Qi Feifei.

Yin Changtian said: "The Seven Rank Heavenly Immortals, in front of me, are just ants. ”

Qi Hufei almost wanted to laugh. Those who dare to compare the Seven Rank Heavenly Immortals to ants, I am afraid that there will be no few among the gods and Buddhas in the sky. Do you think you are a saint?

But he couldn't laugh.

The moonlight was shining on Yin Changtian's body, and his face could not be seen clearly, only the crimson windbreaker was hunting.

The sky is the vast stars and moon, the ground is the boundless yellow sand, and he seems to be the only one left between the heaven and the earth, indescribably lonely and lonely.

Qi Hufei suddenly felt a trace of sadness.

The feeling rose from his heart, came inexplicably, and lingered. It's like coming from thousands of years of suffering, pursuing the dream of this life, but finally disappearing under the stars.

At this moment, he deeply experienced the inner world of the person in front of him.

The two worlds of mind and self are overlapping, like two spaces, superimposed on a certain surface.

Yin Changtian...... A long day...... Autumn water is a long sky and a color......"

Qi Hufei muttered.

"Are you really me?!"

"It's like a fake."

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

"I'm dead. It's you who are alive now. ”

"Are you a ghost?"

"Ghost Dao cultivation is such a low-level thing, how can I possibly cultivate? And if my soul is there, and I can't escape the eyes of the saints, how can they let me go? ”

"Neither a human nor a ghost, the soul is destroyed, so what is left?"

"There's nothing left."

"And what the hell are you?"

"I'm you. It's your truth. There are countless truths in the world, and you must find them and break your truths one by one, in order to find the true nothingness and enter the realm of emptiness. ”

"The Realm of the Void...... Have you ever reached it? ”

"Half a step away."

"It's only half a step away, what a pity."

"There's nothing to be sorry for. If I had taken that half step, I wouldn't be where you are now. ”

"Really? Is the Void Realm powerful? Eternal life? ”

"As I said, the real is fragile, and the void is unbreakable. Too void is the ultimate nothingness, which is eternity! ”

"Eternity?!"

Qi Hufei couldn't understand.

Only the Word can speak of eternity!

"Then what are you going to do now, to bring the soul back to me, to become one with me?"

"No, I'm dead. I am not a ghost, I am not your soul, and I cannot be one with your present body. I am your past, you should not be entangled with the past, otherwise you will never be able to take the last half step, and fall like me, and you can only look for the next you. We've been through this many times, and I don't want you to repeat it. ”

"So what am I going to do?"

"Kill me. Or rather, kill yourself. ”
