Chapter 30: Can There Be Immortals? Can the gentleman be a Taoist instrument?
"Xiaoyaozi's predecessors praised it falsely. The younger generation is not talented, the road is cloudy, just a small road, and he can't afford to be called a strong man of the predecessors of Xiaoyaozi. Xiaoyaozi predecessors, you are world-minded, far-sighted, wise and brave, you are the real hero! Your kindness is evident in the world, your vision is comparable to that of the ancient sages, your wisdom and courage can be called unparalleled in the world, and your momentum is unparalleled. In the whole world, only you can be a strong man! The younger generation is just a mediocre and mediocre way, and they never dare to be called a strong man. β
The man in the suit said and bowed to the end, very respectful.
"Cloud flue friends don't have to be polite, please get up. As the old saying goes: the strong, the big, the big, and the sheng. Scholars, scholars, scholars, scholars, scholars, scholars, scholars, A strong man is ambitious and bold, happy and heroic, brave and virtuous. With these three points, he can be called a strong man. The strong men in the world don't know how many, how can I be called a strong man alone. Yunyan Dao friends, I think you are brave and heroic without losing your elegance, and you can be the name of a strong man. The monks who came to participate in the grand event this time are not lacking in heroes and heroes, heroes from all walks of life, and there are many strong men like a sea of clouds. With your help, Xiaoyaozi will be able to revitalize the Chinese nation and promote the prestige of China! Rush out of Asia, out of the earth, and become famous in the universe! β
"Well taught! Well taught! Well taught! You can say that again! Well said......"
Xiaoyaozi's words of encouragement won the unanimous approval of everyone, and everyone couldn't help shouting, and the scene suddenly became peaceful.
"Xiaoyaozi seniors, everyone, everyone! Rushing out of Asia, rushing out of the earth, and becoming famous in the universe is not only the wish of Xiaoyaozi's predecessors, but also the wish of our Chinese sons and daughters, and it is also my wish! The clouds and smoke are day and night, and the morning and twilight are looking forward to the arrival of this day. However, at a time when the sons and daughters of China such as us are bravely and diligently, and are singing loudly, some people are sneering, making wild remarks, and making long and short statements. This person has bad intentions, ill intentions, and evil intentions. Everyone, Xiaoyaozi seniors, don't fall for him. β
Just as everyone was cheering, the Yunyan Taoist priest in the crowd made a sad look and shouted loudly.
At first glance, there was silence.
"Hehe, Yunyan Lao Dao, why bother to point to Sang and scold Huai, why pretend to be sad. What to say: Don't fall for him! What kind of person is Xiaoyaozi's predecessors, with the world in mind! Vision! Countless wisdom! Is that what my little Taoist priest can fool! Hehe, you still say that I have ill intentions and have a ghost in my heart. Look at you, on top of this solemn festival, in front of the people from all over the world, under the control of the predecessors of Xiaoyaozi, you dare to speak out. I think you're the one with bad intentions and evil intentions. β
The Taoist of Yuji, who was sitting on the platform, had been sitting with his back to Yunyan, posing with disdain for Yunyan. Who knew that Yunyan had been stalking and messing around with Jade Machine Dao Chang. was so angry that the jade machine chief jumped to his feet, and suddenly got up, imitating the voice of Yunyan just speaking, and came up with a sneer. This scolding made Yunyan so angry that he looked at each other angrily.
"Amitabha, debate the puja, no noise. Jade machine! Clouds! No matter what grievances or conflicts you have, you will not mention them at the Festival. Yunyan, this is the debate puja, if you answer, you will answer, if you don't answer, please go back to the original place, do not make a noise! β
When Qingliangzi saw that the two were entangled, he was afraid that the solemnity of the puja would be ruined, so he warned loudly. Xiaoyaozi next to him saw that Master Qingliangzi was so quick to cut through the mess, and nodded with satisfaction. If you let Jade Ji and Yunyan quarrel, what will the puja become!
"Master Qingliangzi's lesson is that Yunyan is ashamed."
"Master Qingliangzi forgives his sins, and the jade machine is rude!"
As soon as the two of them saw Xiaoyaozi's secretly warning eyes, both of them couldn't help but have a sudden break in their hearts, and hurriedly bowed down to plead guilty.
"Amitabha, good, good...... The two Taoist elders know that they can change, and they are very good! Yun Yan Dao Chief, just now Xiaoyaozi's predecessor asked: What should I do after I am immortal? What do you think? β
"Amitabha. Thank you Master Qingliangzi, thank you Xiaoyaozi seniors. It is true that the younger generation has fantasized about the life of immortality many times. If you want to talk about what to do after immortality, please also ask Xiaoyaozi's seniors, Master Qingliangzi and all your colleagues to give me more advice......"
"When the younger generation was young, there was a hobby - reading. A subset of classics and histories, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, prose travelogues, novels and poems, read everything, and read everything. But it's mostly a glance and ten lines, and I don't understand what it means, just to pass the time. Later, the younger generation occasionally got a copy of "Hamlet" by the great English writer Shakespeare, and in this book, there is such a dialogue: "
To beοΌ or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortuneοΌ
Or to take arms against a sea of troublesοΌ
And by opposing end them?
Translated into Chinese, it is to the effect that to live or to perish is a question worth considering; Are you silently enduring the cruelty of fate? Or stand up and fight and take them out? Which of these two behaviors is more appropriate? β
"The younger generation thinks about this day and night. To live or to perish? In the dead of night, Yunyan has been thinking about this question countless times - what is survival? What is Destruction? β
Later, after a long time, Yunyan thought about several other questions from this question: For example, why can human beings live happily? Why are some people willing to survive in peace? Why are some people always unwilling to be bland? Why do some people want to end their lives? Some people want to end other people's lives? Who is there who can't control themselves and wants to hurt others? And what kind of people always bring benefits to those around them? β
"Human beings have been inherited for tens of thousands of years, and what is the force that supports human beings not to be extinct? Why is human life only about 100 years old? Is the 100-year life cycle the reason why humans have inherited 10,000 years? If the life cycle of human beings reaches 1,000 years, will human society be destroyed because of it? β
"Are immortality and immortality two different concepts? Is immortality easier to achieve than not being old? If an immortal person loses faith in the future, will it lead him to do unpredictable things in his long life, such as destroying himself or destroying humanity? If an immortal is trying to destroy humanity, how can you stop him without harming him, is that what immortality is all about? β
"Is immortality the immortality of the flesh? Is immortality the immortality of the soul? If the immortality of the body can be the elixir of immortality, then does the immortality of the soul come from the attachment to life? Is it theoretically impossible to have immortal people? How demanding is a long life for the soul? Is this the reason why humans only have a 100-year lifespan? β
"Is immortality in the true sense of the word beneficial to humanity? If so, what proportion should be appropriate? Who am I? Should I live forever or should I never grow old? Should I die in time, or should I die of old age and sickness like everyone else? What is the meaning of my life? β
"If I don't have any emotion, can I end my life at any time? If I am emotionally rich, should I live a long life? If I unfortunately fail to die a natural death, is it my misfortune or my luck? If I live a long life, am I right at the end of my life? β
"If I have the conditions for immortality, how can I not grow old? If I get the secret of immortality, should I continue to pursue immortality? If I have immortality and immortality, should I do something about it, or should I do nothing? What are the effects of immortality and immortality on the fate of mankind? β
"What should a person with the ability to live forever do? Will immortal beings eventually cause damage to the inheritance of the human race, and will the magnitude of the destruction be commensurate with the magnitude of their contributions? Hehe, for an immortal person, when he is always old and has done great harm to humans, can he be killed, is there a way to kill him, is there a need to kill him, and who decides whether to kill him or not? β
"Hehe, Xiaoyaozi seniors, all predecessors, fellow Dao Mingjian, the so-called immortality, there is not a lot of a simple independent question, this problem involves all aspects of society, involving the foundation of our national heritage, Yunyan is shallow in learning, dare not make judgments, so today is just to express the doubts in my heart, I hope that Xiaoyaozi's predecessors, Master Qingliangzi forgive sins!"
After Yunyan finished speaking, he slammed to the ground. Everyone was stunned for a long time and applauded!
"Amitabha, Yun Yan Dao is a big man! The old man is ashamed, ashamed ......"
"Yun Flue Dao said it so well......"
"Which sect is the Cloud Flue Chief? How come you've never heard of it? β
"To live or to perish? To live or to perish......"
"Yo? Yo? This Yunyan old man, I didn't expect you to have this hand, my jade machine really underestimated you......"
Within a day, when I heard the shocking words, everyone was amazed and couldn't help but talk about it. Seeing that Yunyan could really say one, two, three, he was half puzzled, half surprised, as if he was meeting Yunyan for the first time in the novelty.
"Cloud Flue is a big man. You didn't answer my question! But if you don't answer, it's better than answering. It seems that you are not only a brave and resolute, happy and heroic hero! He is also a scholar who has read poetry and books, and has read the past and the present. Your questions hit the nail on the head, and there are many questions that I didn't expect. You have given me a more open mind, a broader perspective. You have given us all a question worth pondering. Come, Chief Cloud Flue, please take a seat, please take a seat! Everyone is welcome to the cloud flue chief. Everyone is welcome to ......"
The cloud flue chief came to the podium, which is really expected. The crowd erupted in cheers. After the cloud flue chief sat down, Wang Kurong said:
"Immortality is what the world desires. But I think immortality, as the cloud flue chief said, is not achieved overnight! It depends on the power of long-term practice. I hope that after listening to the words of the cloud flue chief, you can also think more about this issue. In my opinion, cultivating the mind is the most important way to practice. True practice is also necessarily accomplished through the attainment of the spiritual world. Only love, wisdom, courage, kindness, a strong heart, and unswerving determination can produce the foundation of immortality. I hope you cherish and care more! β
"Okay, due to time constraints, Xiaoyaozi originally wanted to ask another question. However, seeing that it was getting late, the rest of the questions were left unasked. Although only five people have been given the chance to win and can sit on the podium. Among them, the colorful Huaguang Niangniang was not on the scene because of her busy affairs, so there are only four winning Taoists on the stage at present. After a while, Master Qingliangzi will make a question, and everyone on the stage may wish to establish a debate, and if there is a winner, please sit on the platform. The debate is not limited to the scriptures, monks, monks, and customs, the subject matter, and the participants, but it is limited to one day, and the thirteen winners are limited. β
"After the debate of the sect, invite the seventeen superior Taoist masters to braided each other on the platform. There is no time limit for braids, no limit to monks and monks, no limit to scripture and righteous themes, and the top five are limited. When the top five are decided, the pair of braids ends. Master Qingliangzi, you are a Buddhist monk, please come to the beginning! Please! β
"Amitabha! The old man obeys! β
