"Liezi Tang Wen": "Kong Zhou said: I have three swords, but the son chooses, one is called light, invisible and invisible, and the luck does not know what it touches. The second is said to be a shadow, will be a cool friend, when the sun and the evening are dark, the north and observe it, faintly if there is a thing, I don't know its state. What it touches is also whispering, and things are not sick. Three days of night practice, Fang Tian saw the shadow but did not see the light, Fang Ye saw the light but did not see the form. Its touch is also, passing by, with the passing and merging, feeling sick but not bloody. ”

"I've heard that."

"Do you think such a sword really exists in this world?" The old man asked Zi Beyu a question.

"The wisdom of the ancients is something we cannot guess." Zi Beyu did not answer the old man's question directly, "Whether it exists or not, this sword is in our hands at the moment, and it is now shaped, so it exists." ”

"No, come and touch it."

The old man smiled and stretched out his hand to hand Xiao Lian over. Zi Beyu was a little strange, and stepped forward to reach out to hold the sword in the old man's hand, but he suddenly found that his hand actually passed through the hilt of the sword and directly touched the old man's hand.

"Does it exist?"

"This ..... That's impossible! I used it to ward off evil spirits before! ”

Zi Beyu remembered that he was still holding it to exorcise evil spirits before, and if he didn't exist, then how did he open this altar?

In fact, these three so-called swords are only the three states of people - the upper grade with light is the state of the combination of the Tao, the middle grade is the form of the fuze of the Tao, and the lower grade is the state of the Tao. The inferior the sword, the more it can make people feel its existence. So you can always touch the night practice. ”

The old man put away Xiao Lian with his hands, looked at Zi Beyu's eyes, and smiled:

"What do you think, what is the Tao?"

"Dao? Isn't it the Tao? There are so many Dao Fa, which one do you want me to say? ”

"No, no, no." The old man shook his head, "The ruler of the ancient Dao, to cultivate knowledge; Knowing life without knowing is also called knowing and nurturing Tian. Knowledge and tranquility are mutually nourishing, and harmony is out of its nature. Fude, and also; Dao, Dao also. Virtue is intolerant, benevolence is also; There is no reason for the Tao, and there is also righteousness; Righteousness and proximity, loyalty; Pure and honest and contrary to love, happy also; Faith and deeds are decent and obedient, and etiquette is also. If the etiquette and music are practiced, the world will be chaotic. He is righteous and has been virtuous, virtue is not risky, and if it is risky, the thing will lose its nature. ”

"The so-called Tao, that is, the principle of the world, is also the belief that people adhere to in their hearts, the Tao is everywhere, and everything can be Tao."

"You're saying something profound."

To put it simply, everything we say and do, and how we behave, is the way. This is the Word. The old man paused, "What was the first Taoist scripture you came into contact with?" ”

"Tao Te Ching."

"Then do you know that the three swords of the Son of Heaven are actually talking about it?"

"Isn't the sword a bad thing in Lao Tzu?"

Yes, but the most affected Taoists in later generations were not Laozi, but Liezi and Zhuangzi. These two Taoist giants put forward the theory that everything is the way for the first time, and their influence on later generations was very profound. And the sword has also become a method of cultivating the Tao, and this matter is recorded in Volume 12 of the "Ten Books of Xiuzhen" (if you are interested, you can take a look at Baidu, I won't go into detail here, after all, it is too long). ”

"Therefore, the reason why the Zi family has passed down this non-existent Shang Tianzi Three Swords from generation to generation is so that future generations can understand the truth of the Tao?"

"Yes, your father's son Wenqing, he understands the truth, so when he was established, he was able to use the golden talisman, and his Taoism was comparable to that of the ancestors."

"So I'm going to comprehend it too?"

"Nope." The old man shook his head suddenly, he looked at Zi Buyu, "I can't see your fate clearly, I don't know if the three swords of Shang Tianzi are of use to you, and even I don't know what kind of person you will be in the future." ”

"Then what is the use of me opening this altar?"

"Learn about a past, a past you've always wanted to pursue."

"What was the past?"

"Who the hell are you?"

The old man's eyes looked at Zi Beyu, the deep black, he saw Zi Beyu a little stunned, he didn't know why when the old man said this, his heart actually felt very desolate, he didn't understand his identity, everyone knew his identity, but he was the only one, he didn't understand who it was.

"Who am I?" Zi Beyu smiled, "I am Zi Beyu." ”

"No, your life is not your own." The old man stretched out his hand, and a golden ball of light rose from his hand, gradually blending into Zi Beyu's forehead, "You will be able to use this thing in the future, I hope that at that time, you have not lost yourself." ”

"Why do you all say I'm going to lose myself?"

"Because you are a very special person, your temperament has changed three times, and your life count is also erratic, and no one can accurately calculate your numerology."

"Is it because I'm the Destiny of Wan'an?"

"Do you know what Destiny is?"

The old man looked at Zi Beyu, Zi Beyu was slightly stunned, I don't know why, he saw pity and sympathy in the old man's eyes.

"Wan'an Destiny, doesn't it mean that I obey the Mandate of Heaven?"

"No, you don't understand anything." The old man sighed, "The people of the previous generation who had the mandate of heaven, in addition to your previous life, there is another person, you must have heard of this person. ”

"Who?"

"The First Emperor Wins the Reign." The old man said word by word, "Back then, the First Emperor Ying Zheng destroyed the Six Kingdoms to unify China and sent Xu Fu to Penglai to ask for immortal medicine, do you know why he is so confident?" Because he knows that he is the destiny of the present generation, and he can get everything he wants, because his destiny is the destiny of eternity. ”

"Destiny?"

"This life, a life of glory and wealth, fame and power are inexhaustible, but there is only one point, it is his fatal flaw, that is, loneliness and widowhood. He held the power of tens of millions of lives and kills, paved his own avenue with blood, and finally went to the most mysterious Penglai Immortal Island, wanting to ask for a fairy elixir to seek the avenue. Break your own destiny. ”

"Avenue? Destiny? ”

"Yes, he wants to keep pursuing his way of killing emperors, he wants this thrill of conquering the world, to fill his emptiness. Eternal destiny, eternal solitude, no one can understand him, and no one will understand him, he is the first emperor of the ages, and he is also a lonely person. The old man smiled, "Did you know that history books are always written by winners?" ”

"I know."

"King Shang was also a very good Ming monarch, but he was smeared by the Zhou Dynasty; The First Emperor Yingzheng is also a symbol of human beings and heavenly fighting, but it was said by the Han Dynasty to be a tyrannical Qin. ”

"There is no way to cut down, and Qin is violent. The so-called uprising is just a good synonym for people wanting to overthrow a certain rule. ”

The old man's hand flashed with golden light, and then, a majestic and magnificent drawing unfolded in front of Zi Beyu, the painting was a majestic peak, and a person wearing a dragon robe, with tens of millions of soldiers behind him, in front of him was a cloud, and there seemed to be some figures behind the clouds.

"Who has ever really understood that the first emperor of the ages, Mount Tai Feng Zen and the Mandate of Heaven, what is he pursuing? In the end, he just wanted to get rid of the destiny of eternity, and get rid of the fate of eternity. Do you think that Destiny is a kind of recognition given to you by God? No, it's not, it's just a joke for them, they think the world is not interesting, so they set off a bloody storm in the world. ”

"You mean, there are gods in the head?"

"Gods?" The old man suddenly sneered, "Have you ever seen a god who has no universal beings? You know why the Dao method cultivated by the Yin people is said to be the law against the sky, because they feel that this day is conscious, and in this world, there are always a group of people who need to become the representative of God. So, the 'deaf' appeared. ”

"What did you say!?"

"Do you think that 'deaf' was founded by the ancient ghost king left over from the Yellow Emperor period?" The old man shook his head, "No, no, no, in front of the top ten ghost kings, that ancient ghost king is not enough to see at all." ”

"The battle of the gods, the interception of disputes, Jiang Ziya used the list of gods to seal many righteous gods, those righteous gods are the gods that people worship now, in that era, the 'deaf' already existed, why didn't those righteous gods clear the 'deaf' organization?"

"Why?"

"Because the founder of 'deafness', no, it cannot be said to be the founder, but to say that the evolution of 'deafness' is the filth of Pangu."

As soon as the old man's words came out, Zi Beyu felt a sudden thunder in his ears, which blew up goosebumps all over his body, he originally thought that 'deafness' was just a ghost organization, but he didn't expect that its deepest part was so terrifying.

"What do you think of the word God?"

"No desires, no desires?"

"Do you know why they have no desires?"

"This ....." Zi Beyu was stunned, he didn't know how to answer.

"Because the ghost king of the 'deaf' is the negative of these righteous gods."
