Chapter 3: The Greatest Ego
Hong Yi heard Lu Fengqiu's words, and said secretly in his heart: "The more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes, the unity of knowledge and action, and only then can it become its own way?" Hong Yi seemed to feel that this Taoist master's words were quite meaningful, as if he was pointing him out something.
But if you think about it carefully, you and this Taoist chief are just acquaintances for the first time, and people say it casually, maybe just casually, I'm afraid it's because I'm thinking too much.
However, listening to this Taoist master's words, Hong Yi suddenly became interested in staying and listening to the "truth" of this Taoist master.
He watched Lu Fengqiu sit freely and naturally in the middle of a group of foxes, as if a group of young human children were sitting next to him.
This bearing alone impressed Hong Yi.
After all, he was still suspicious of these fox demons in his heart just now, and now, he was even more thinking, this Dao Leader can be so plain in this environment, could it be that this Dao Leader is also a demon?
Although Hong Yi thought like this in his heart, he didn't ask it.
He bowed slightly towards Lu Fengqiu and said, "Since the Dao Chief has spoken, then Hong Yi is disrespectful. “
He has been in the Hong Mansion for a long time, and he is still very curious about the things outside.
What's more, such a bunch of foxes actually read and write like people, and he also has many doubts in his heart.
If he leaves, I'm afraid he will leave regrets.
At this time, the concubine on the side said: "The more you argue, the clearer it becomes, the unity of knowledge and action is your own way." ”
"Qingyunzi Daoist is a scholar, and the Yuan Concubine still has a puzzle, and she wants to let the Daoist solve her doubts."
Lu Fengqiu bowed his head slightly and said, "Please speak." ”
Concubine Yuan's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, she looked at Lu Fengqiu and said, "Dare to ask Daoist Qingyunzi, what is the biggest in this world." ”
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he smiled slightly, looked at Hong Yi who had just sat down on the side, and said: "The answer in everyone's heart is different, and the poor road is not said for the time being, this question should be answered by Hong Yi's little brother first." “
The night breeze blows, and the bonfires are getting stronger.
The sound of burning firewood crackled.
Hong Yi saw that Lu Fengqiu threw the problem on him, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, it seemed that this Qingyunzi Dao Master seemed to be deliberately paying attention to him.
Hong Yi didn't have stage fright, he thought for a moment, and said directly: "Of course, the truth is the greatest!" ”
"The biggest reason?"
When Concubine Yuan heard this, her face showed a hint of joy.
"It's the biggest truth, fortunately, I stopped when I passed by Qiuyue Temple today, and I heard Mr. Xiao make poems, and I knew that Mr. Xiao was not an ordinary person, and Mr. Xiao could be said to have solved a big doubt for me."
Concubine Yuan's face was overjoyed, maybe Hong Yi's words really solved her doubts.
But at this moment, Hong Yi didn't have half the joy of being praised, but instead set his eyes on Lu Fengqiu.
"Earlier, the Taoist chief said that everyone has a different answer to what is the biggest, I don't know what the chief thinks is the biggest thing in the world?"
Hong Yi asked this, touching his heart, he really wanted to hear Lu Fengqiu's high opinion.
When Concubine Yuan on the side heard this, she also thought that she was asking Lu Fengqiu.
Lu Fengqiu looked at the foxes and people in this valley, and said with a slight smile: "In the eyes of Poor Dao, only self is the biggest in this world. ”
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Yuan's face showed surprise, and she couldn't help murmuring: "Only self is the greatest!" ”
Concubine Yuan's eyes looked at Lu Fengqiu's face, she looked at Lu Fengqiu when she said this, her face was extremely calm, and the self-confidence was to the extreme, so that Concubine Yuan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, if others said this, she would definitely be regarded as arrogant.
Even if it is the Taishang Dao Dream God Machine, I am afraid that I dare not say that I am the only one in the world.
Emperor Daqian is high above, and he does not dare to say that he is the only one in the world.
But these words came out of the mouth of the Qingyunzi Daoist in front of him, but it was extremely smooth.
Concubine Yuan looked at Lu Fengqiu and was silent for a long time.
Concubine Yuan is one of the eight great demon immortals in the world, and she was still shocked by this statement.
Hong Yi is just an ordinary talent at this time, even if he is the son of luck, he will not be much stronger than Concubine Yuan.
He looked at Lu Fengqiu, and Lu Fengqiu's sentence "only self is the biggest" kept echoing in his mind.
Hong Yi suppressed the shock in his heart, and he said to Lu Fengqiu: "Dare to ask Dao Chang, why is only the biggest self?" ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Hong Yi, and said, "The Tao is in front, the reason is in the back, what is the Tao?" What is the reason? ”
Hong Yi frowned, he replied the most reasonably, because he felt that everything in this world had to be reasonable, reasonable, reasonable, and right and wrong.
But this Qingyunzi Daoist asked him, what is the Tao? What is the reason?
Obviously, it is to separate the Tao from the reason.
Hong Yi couldn't help but think of what he had done when he read "Notes on the Grass Hall".
Hong Yi was stunned for a long time before he said, "What is the Tao?" The Tao is nature. What is the reason? Reason is truth. ”
Lu Fengqiu looked at Hong Yi approvingly, and then said: "The Tao between heaven and earth is not only the way of nature, but also the way of self, and the Tao in everyone's heart is not the same. ”
"Ordinary people practice martial arts in order to become stronger, and so do those who practice the Dao."
"Aspiring people, whether they practice martial arts or practice Taoism, are all for immortality and detachment."
"The way of self is to identify with oneself from the bottom of one's heart, and to get closer to oneself from the behavior, the Tao is in the front, the reason is behind, the Tao does not exist, and the reason will be in peace?"
"What is the use of having no self, that is, having no self, and being justified alone? It's just water without grass and grass without roots. ”
"Everyone can speak the truth, but how many people can really know the truth?"
"If the Tao exists, reason exists, and if the Tao does not exist, reason will become a lie."
"Why is it that the Tao is poor, only the self is the greatest in heaven and earth, because there is a self, there is a way of self, and without a self, what does the Tao have to do with me? What does it have to do with me? ”
"Therefore, only self is the greatest in heaven and earth."
"What is the reason for those who dare not admit that they are the greatest, who are nothing more than disturbed by external objects such as secular etiquette and the eyes of the world, who dare not face their own hearts, and who dare not even look directly at their own hearts?"
"If truth exists, what does it have to do with it? In the end, it was just a slogan in his mouth, and it was used to listen to others, and even if it was forgotten, a few people would take it seriously. ”
Hong Yi was stunned when he heard this.
He never thought that someone would say such a thing bluntly.
People in the world will always hide in front of others, and dare not look directly at the person in their hearts, what is the reason?
Hong Yi thought of his own sentence as the biggest truth, but he felt bored.
Hong Yi thought of the too many hypocritical faces he had seen in the Hong Mansion, if the world was really the most reasonable, how could he have such treatment in the Hong Mansion today.
If the truth in the world is really the greatest, how can his own mother die?
Only the self is the greatest, and there is no one in this world who does not live for himself.
Self is the biggest!
Hong Yi thought of too many things in his mind, and a sentence of self-greatness made Hong Yi begin to face his heart.
When Concubine Yuan on the side heard Lu Fengqiu's words, she fell into deep thought.
Those little foxes didn't understand what Lu Fengqiu said one by one, but they didn't feel clear, and they all had little stars in their eyes, looking at Lu Fengqiu, and felt that Lu Fengqiu was really a master.
The old fox Tu Lao has practiced outside the Great Zen Temple for many years, and has heard a lot of Buddhism, and today he can't help but be amazed when he hears what Lu Fengqiu said.
I only heard the old fox clapping his hands and praised: "What the Taoist chief said really made the old man stunned. ”
Only Xiaohua yawned quite boredly, if she could speak, she would definitely be able to say a word, and Lao Lu began to fool people again.
Lu Fengqiu looked around and continued: "Face up to yourself, understand the way of yourself, understand the principles of nature, those who follow the path prosper, and those who go against the path die." ”
"The avenue is sloppy, and it can be left and right."
"All things are born without giving up, and they are not succeeding. Clothed and nourished all things without being the main, often without desire, can be named small; All things are returned to the Lord, but they can be called great. It is not self-sufficient in the end, so it can become great. ”
"The Tao is always there, but the reason is not."
"When others are stronger than you, what if your reason is what most people think you are? Can this help you turn defeat into victory? ”
"This kind of reason is equivalent to a fictitious existence, the Tao is always there, and the reason is not always there."
"Everyone is walking their own way, but the truth of others is not necessarily your reason."
"If people argue with each other, when they have their own opinions, when each has their own reason, how can they argue?"
"It's self-justification."
"Therefore, only the self is the greatest in heaven and earth."
After Lu Fengqiu finished speaking, there was silence in the valley.
It was quiet only to hear the wind outside the valley and the burning of bonfires.
From time to time, there were a few cries of night owls.
Hong Yi was silent.
Concubine Yuan was silent.
None of them are stupid people, and they all realized another meaning of Lu Fengqiu's words.
Only when you are strong enough can you make others listen to you.
What if the ego isn't strong enough, even if it makes sense?
This kind of truth is equivalent to a fictitious thing in front of others.
After a long time, Hong Yi stood up, bowed respectfully to Lu Fengqiu, and bowed to his disciples.
This is the etiquette he would only do to his teachers.
But listening to Lu Fengqiu's words today, he really benefited a lot.
He wants to break the current predicament in Hongfu, and only by strengthening himself can he have the opportunity to get out.
Only then can he have a chance to obtain a title for his mother.
"Hong Yiduo, thank you for your advice!"
Seeing this, Lu Fengqiu accepted Hong Yi's gift.
Hong Yi said respectfully: "I listened to the words of the Dao Chief, and the Dao Master should be proficient in the way of cultivation in order to have such thought-provoking words. “
"Don't hide it, I'm here today, I was really shocked when I first saw you in this valley, I have also read a lot of sage notes, and the foxes recorded in those notes are all supernatural powers, proficient in the way of cultivation, and there are endless changes."
"Dare to ask the Taoist, can it be the same as everyone in this fox clan, not human?"
Lu Fengqiu smiled: "Why do you say this? ”
Hong Yi said: "If you are an ordinary person, how can you be like the Taoist chief." ”
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and said, "Poor Dao is like a fake person, not a demon transformer. ”
When Hong Yi heard this, he couldn't help but say: "That Dao chief must be a senior master who has cultivated to an extremely high realm. ”
Although there are three major gates in the Daqian Dynasty, but his father Hong Xuanji is a master of science, disgusted with Buddhism and Taoism, once because of the military affairs of the Daqian court and the Yunmeng Empire, the emperor summoned the Taoist priest to ask about the good luck, and was immediately persuaded by his father Wuwen Hou Hong Xuanji, and when the court reprimanded the Taoist priest "pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, but also want to control the society and control the artifact, it is simply ridiculous." ”
Moreover, according to Hong Yi's understanding, most of the Taoist priests in Yujing City today are clinging to the power of the people, fooling the people with gods and ghosts, making scholars like him shameful.
At present, Lu Fengqiu's Taoist demeanor has made Hong Yi's impression of Taoist priests change a lot.
It made him want to know what a real Taoist person really was.
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he didn't deny it.
With his current cultivation, in the Yang God World, it can naturally be said to be extremely high.
Hong Yi, who was on the side, rushed to Lu Fengqiu and asked: "Hong Yi is rare to meet a Taoist like the Taoist, and there are some things that I don't know whether to ask or not." ”
Lu Fengqiu said: "But it doesn't hurt to ask. ”
Here, Lu Fengqiu and Hong Yi are talking.
The concubine over there was looking at Lu Fengqiu quietly, she was thinking about what kind of realm Lu Fengqiu was.
There are many Taoist priests in this jade capital, but there are very few Taoists like Qingyunzi.
It is impossible to be unknown.
But when she was in Yujing City for a long time, she had never heard of Qingyunzi's name.
According to her own judgment, this Qingyunzi's realm is at least a ghost immortal, and he will only be stronger than her, not weaker than her.
When she looked at this Qingyunzi, she always felt that this Qingyunzi was shrouded in a layer of fog.
At this time, Hong Yi spoke: "Dare to ask how to cultivate the Dao Long Cultivation Dao?" ”
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he looked at the old fox on the side.
"Lao Tu can come to solve Hong Yi's doubts."
When Lao Tu heard Lu Fengqiu talking to him, he was immediately shocked, and then said eloquently: "There are many ways to cultivate in the world, but the purpose is nothing more than to transcend life and death. ”
"And most of them are two categories, one of which is mainly to refine the soul of the gods, which is called immortal art."
"The second is to refine the flesh, which is called martial arts."
"The cultivation of immortal art is actually to cultivate one's own thoughts, and there are various methods, but it is nothing more than the ten realms."
"Concentration, out of the shell, night tour, day tour, exorcism, manifestation, possession, seizure, thunder tribulation, yang god. As for the realm of martial arts, I don't know, Concubine Yuan herself is a master of boxing, but she can explain a thing or two for Mr. ”
When Concubine Yuan on the side heard this, she said bluntly: "The realm of martial arts is probably to practice meat, tendons, skin, bones, internal organs, bone marrow, blood exchange, and knots. ”
Hong Yi bowed slightly.
The old Tu on the side didn't forget to say another word.
"There are really a lot of things about cultivation, and I can't say it clearly for a while."
"There are a lot of cultivation books in the old man's dwelling, all of which the old man got from the time when the Great Zen Temple was destroyed, if the little gentleman is not in a hurry, you can go and read one or two, and you will have your own distinction."
Hong Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he still said: "I'm afraid this is not very good, it is useless, Tu Lao's collection of books must be very precious." ”
At this time, Lu Fengqiu on the side said: "Although these two cultivation methods are good, there is another cultivation method here in the poor road, which is not inferior to these two. ”
When Hong Yi heard this, he was slightly stunned.
The concubine and the fox Lao Tu were also a little stunned.
Hong Yi said respectfully: "Dare to ask Dao Chief, what kind of cultivation method is it?" ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled indifferently and said, "The method of refining qi." ”
When Hong Yi heard it, he secretly said, the method of refining qi? What is this method?
The concubine on the side was also puzzled when she heard this, she had never heard of any method of refining qi in the world.
Lao Tu was even more confused, he looked at Lu Fengqiu, and instinctively felt that Lu Fengqiu was not untargeted.
Hong Yidao: "Dare to ask Dao Chief, what is the solution to this method?" ”
Lu Fengqiu said eloquently: "This method is a dual cultivation of life, both refining the body and refining the soul. ”
When Concubine Yuan on the side heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this Qingyunzi can bluff people, it turns out that this method of refining qi is a fellow practitioner of the two laws.
So is she.
Hong Yi immediately said: "Refining both the body and the soul? Isn't that just cultivating martial arts and cultivating immortals. ”
Lu Fengqiu said: "Although the words can be said so, but the inside is very different, this method of refining qi is only divided into four realms, refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning voids, and refining voids and combining the way." ”
Hong Yi listened to it, and only felt that it was very profound.
The concubine on the side was a little stunned.
What is this division?
She'd never heard of it.
