Chapter 6: Saving Sentient Beings and Turning Hu into Buddha

It is to see Hangu Pass from afar, both sides are the mountains and mountains, the big river is turbulent, pass through from between, Tongguan to Hangu Pass all the way, with the narrow land between the mountains, the two Xiongguan are located here, far better than thousands of troops and horses, but it is the Xiongguan tiger, towering natural danger, since the Shang Zhou Dynasty, Hangu Pass is the important town of the world, from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Cuihan Passage starts from the Kunshan Mountain in the west, and reaches the Tiger Prison Pass in the east, Taihang, the Wangwu guards the portal, guards the Guanzhong Xingsheng, but it is the Central Plains barrier, and the heavens give Yan Huang.

According to the plateau in the west, the east is bordered by the absolute stream, the south is connected to the Qinling Mountains, the Yellow River is in the north, a good Xiongguan fortress, closed in the valley, the deep danger is like a letter, so it is called the Han Valley.

Chen Ang did not arrive at the pass, he saw the door of Hangu Pass wide open, out of which a great doctor came out, three long beards under the chin, foresight Chen Ang and Lao Dan came by car, so he stepped forward to pay homage, Zong Zhou to the etiquette and music as the foundation, the scholars are proficient in this, this kind of etiquette is not the later generations to greet, call polite, but towering ceremony, there is a noisy guard of honor, although Yin Xi is only a doctor, do not dare to use the courtesy of the princes, but it is already very respectful, it is the gift of the doctor to worship King Wen.

If Kong Qiu is like this again, he is afraid that he will not accept it, but Lao Tzu dares to accept it.

Wukong stepped forward, but also according to the etiquette system to return the courtesy, he and Zilu studied for two months, listened to Confucius lectures, Zongzhou etiquette system is also skilled, not an ordinary stubborn monkey, Yin Xi saw Wukong sitting in a well-dressed manner, every move, all in accordance with the etiquette system, only to know how extraordinary the saint is in front of the door, is a monkey with a cow, and also has the demeanor of a scholar.

Yin welcomed Chen Ang and Lao Dan into the customs, invited them into the official house, and came to ask that night.

He asked Lao Tzu about the collapse of etiquette, the princes did not serve the emperor of Zhou, and seeing the war in the world, how was the doctor? Lao Tzu talked to him about doing nothing and not doing it, advocating the same governance of the body and the country, based on the two phases of nature, following things because of them, moving things because of them, and making all things natural by the law of heaven and earth, and even having to do nothing. In order to make things and I free together, we are good at teaching without words, and make people self-transformed.

asked Chen Ang again, Chen Ang talked to him about natural selection, survival of the fittest, avoiding harm in life, self-esteem for me, not dealing with things without contaminating nature, doing nothing to not burden each other, and not disturbing each other.

After Chen Ang finished speaking, he said to the crowd: "All things are born and all living beings have been raised, and they are ruled by life and death...... The fittest is born, and the discomfort is dead, so you are valuable! Birds and beasts eat children, and insects eat husbands, rabbits and antelopes run away, and wolves and tigers have sharp claws and teeth, just because they are all alive to avoid harm, for me to value myself, not to be noble, to die! The thing is his father, and his nature is free. If the father does not honor himself, he will die, and if his father does not honor himself, he will live. Those who value themselves have children and those who value others are the last, so all things are born with dignity! ”

"It's not okay to pluck a hair and benefit the world!"

"Guy because you pluck a hair, and the world gets a hair, damage yourself and benefit others, people kill you again, heaven lives and kills, and if you are uncomfortable, you will die! Therefore, the things of heaven lie in utilitarianism, the growth of human beings, the reproduction of sentient beings, and selfishness! The son Xiao and his father are called hereditary, hereditary, selfish! ”

Yin Xi heard Lao Tzu's mantra, smoked and drunk, full of praise, heard Chen Angzhi said, frightened, thrilling, but Wukong, Qingniu and other different kinds, once mixed in the beasts, see their life, see their death, and even the strong are born and the weak die, natural elimination, natural selection of its strong, the principle of the evolution of all things, but listen to it as if intoxicated, better than Lao Tzu's moral words.

Yin Xibai asked Chen Ang: "The sage said so, but where is the morality?" ”

Chen Ang smiled: "Listen to me...... The fittest, not the strong. The tiger wolf also has the dead, and the cunning rabbit also has the survivor, so the way of natural selection, the strong is not able to defeat the weak, the strong is not able to defeat the soft, the weak and the way, then it can naturally grow, the strong and the wayless, there is also the time of extinction. The way of self-esteem is to survive first, followed by reproduction, and those who can survive but cannot reproduce will never be the second! ”

"It is the love of his son, for the first morality!"

"And all things are different, gathering is strong, scattering is weak, and those who gather together are better than lonely and weak. Wolves gather in the mountains and forests, thinking that survival is better than lone wolves. It's the principle of natural elimination! How can a pack of wolves be better than a lone wolf? There is a leader in this way, a wolf, and a noble group of beloved sons. Therefore, among the ethnic groups, the noble self lies in the noble group, and it is only because of the gathering of the group that it is self-interested, and the group is scattered and evil of itself. If one people are regarded as one, then those who love their people love themselves. ”

"It's the love of his family, for the second morality!"

Chen Angxing's whereabouts, between the raising of his hand, he said that the vitality is born into all things, the way of bloodline reproduction and inheritance, there are no atoms in this life, but the atoms of the vitality are just one thing and two phases, Chen Ang only made modifications, from the biological characteristics, the bones left, and even the physical appearance of the ancient demons, telling the principle of evolution, and deducing the ancient wind in the world, preparing its species.

Talk about the evolution of species, the way of extinction.

After Yin Xi did not dare to remember his way, he only dared to record the ancient landforms and customs that Chen Ang said, which was passed down to future generations, called the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and there was a waiter beside him, secretly recording the truth described by Chen Ang, but the waiter did not understand the literature and science, although he could get the truth, but he lost the proof, in ancient times, the matter of evolution, he did not understand it, and finally only wrote down the way of humanity, and lost nature.

The waiter returned home and taught his son Yang Zhu in the way of Chen Ang.

When Lao Dan heard Chen Ang's words, he nodded and smiled: "Good...... If you think you are the world, if you can send it to the world. Love is the world, if you can support the world. ”

Chen Ang also said that the heavens are permanent, and the laws are impermanent, and all things are the principle of movement and change and development, saying that the sky changes and things change, in order to adapt to the changes of heaven and earth, and the truth of the continuous evolution of species, combined with your own thoughts, if you want to adapt to the changes of heaven and earth, you must grasp the truth behind the movement and change of things, and seek its way, which is called development.

It is said that human beings are different from all things, because of wisdom and enlightenment, wisdom and enlightenment can seek the Tao and seek change, rather than the change of natural elimination, people are fickle, so they are long in all kinds of things in the world, and people can seek the Tao, so they are valuable to all beings in the world.

He also said that human beings gather together, have the virtue of loving their sons and loving their clans, and they also have the nature of selfishness and self-love, and the conflict between the selfishness of the human race and the selfishness of the individual, and the selfishness of everyone is harmful to the clan and self, and there is wisdom and fickleness, so between the love of the small self and the love of the greater self, the two sexes, human desires and morality are evolved.

Among the narrators, if they commit crimes because of their own self-esteem, in the natural selection, they will harm themselves, and if everyone violates others, they will harm themselves the most. In the end, it is changed by wisdom, a contract is made, a consensus is reached, just like the collective consciousness of the crowd, and this is morality. Morality is also the principle of self-esteem.

Wukong listened to Chen Ang's description of the evolution of the heavens, the way of human development, but it is through the evolution of human beings from beasts to humans, Wukong was originally a natural stone monkey, mixed in the monkey group, ignorant in the country of mankind, morality in Lao, Chen, Kong three saints preached, but he has seen the natural law of beasts, human civilization, and morality, so far, finally through human nature, understand that human nature is also a beast, and govern it with wisdom and morality, and no longer conflict with animal nature.

He gradually realized the difference between wisdom and morality and his natural animal nature, and he also touched the way of all things in nature. He got the selfishness, greed and hatred of the demon nature from Chen Ang, and the human ethics learned from Confucius, the human nature of ritual and murder, and finally got Lao Tzu's quiet and inaction, the divinity of high morality, and the Tao is incalculable!

Yin Xi first heard Lao Tzu's moral words, when he was really intoxicated, eager to go for Lao Tzu's door, and then listened to Chen Ang's learning, fear inexplicable, confused and nightmarish I didn't know how much I listened to, and finally when the lecture dispersed, he left in a hurry, even ignoring the etiquette.

Yin Xi stumbled, returned to the official residence, his wife turned him pale, panicked and panting, hurriedly stood up and sent him hot water, asked him what happened, Yin Xi said: "I really heard the words of the sage today!" ”

"How can it be that it is the word of a saint?"

Yin Xi waited for his mind to settle down for a while before he replied: "The moral words of the sage mean lofty, truth and even Tao, and if you know it, you will be wise and accessible." It is because the saint does not observe the existence and death, the virtuous, and the unscrupulous, but also observes the reason. And the words of the saint Heavenly Dao...... It's terrible, I don't dare to listen, I don't dare to listen! No one can get it...... Indifferent as God. I know today that there is no self in man, no merit in God and no merit, and no name in saints. These three are not human. ”

After Yin Xi left, Chen Ang said to Lao Tzu and everyone: "I look at the four continents, all living beings are good and evil, and all parties are different. Those who win the Shenzhou in the east, respect the heavens and the earth, worship the immortals and gods, almost have no self, like grass and trees, although they are pure, they are like big trees, and the wind and rain will rot; Those who are in the northern giant Luzhou, fighting for their lives in heaven and earth, multi-effect antiquity for survival, clumsy and sparse temperament, learning the law of birds and beasts; Naxi Niu Hezhou is insensitive, content with the status quo, almost like a god and Buddha doll, captive house animals; Only I am in the south of the continent, all of them are noble, they are still striving for fickleness, seeking development, not fascinated by immortals and Buddhas, it is a world of great contention, a humane place. ”

"The so-called heavenly way is still fighting, do not invade yourself, the morality of other continents, is the morality of the gods and saints and Buddhas, it seems that the gods are edified, but in fact they are imprisoned and bred in captivity, and there is a slight change, there is a divine punishment and strangulation, only the south of the continent, it is a place of humane development, morality sprouts from wisdom, and the way of change and development of heaven and earth, impermanence morality, is morality adapts to people, adapts to humanity, continues to develop, and constantly improves, this is the way to seek the Tao!"

"I pity the sentient beings of Xiniu Hezhou, the class is solidified, humanity cannot be developed, it is stored for the spiritual mountain, and it is no longer human, it is really pitiful, the holy Buddha confuses people in the Elysian world, the paranoid spirit, and is detached from the material, the wolf and the tiger are friendly with the elk, all things are peaceful without fighting, it seems to be liberating, but in fact it sinks. I have the path of freedom, and I can liberate sentient beings! ”

When Wukong heard this, he kowtowed and said, "Let's ask the patriarch, how to save sentient beings?" ”

"Make sure that all living beings are noble, wolves and tigers are greedy for killing, officials are brutal, people are greedy and angry, and there is still contention and change, such as a living water, contradictions are everywhere, natural selection, competition, enjoyment, desire, freedom, everyone is free, not imprisoned by immortals and Buddhas. Then let it develop naturally, keep progressing. For the purpose of universal harmony, immortals and Buddhas can only educate, but cannot forcibly confuse people. ”

"That Western Lingshan, imprisoning people's desires, is really a great evil, I am about to preach the Dharma in the West, the way of desire is free, how can Lingshan be stubborn, the Buddha is stupid, the Buddhas in the Great Leiyin Temple are numb, greedy for human superstition, worship, it is really a tumor in the world, a burden of evolution."

Wukong said: "Master, what do you want?" ”

"Wukong, we are going west, in order to liberate sentient beings, not to fight with the spiritual mountain, I know that the spiritual mountain is powerful, if you come to stubbornly do not listen to the admonition, you go west with me, destroy his Dharma, and fight with him with ideas. I just want to turn Hu into a Buddha, blend into his sect, put on his robe, destroy his Dharma, and walk in the name of a monk. He told all sentient beings to restrain their desires and refine their spirits, and I want all sentient beings in Xiniu Hezhou to obey human desires and pay attention to reality. It is calling humanity to spread to the west and re-creating sentient beings! ”
