CHAPTER XX. The avenue of chance asks the heart two

Hearing such a strange question, Gu Jianping was a little stunned for a while, and couldn't help but recall the past of his past cultivation and his own understanding of the Great Dao.

, only to say carefully: "The avenue contains everything, both without attributes and all attributes, so the avenue is nameless, and it is named after all living beings......"

"Do you have a close friend, a confidant, a respected elder, and a beloved disciple?"

"This one naturally has,"

The blue-robed immortal turned his head, stared at Gu Jianping for a while, then looked at the dark void above, and asked lightly, "If they have a great road dispute with you, or block your path, what will you do?"

Gu Jianping has long thought about this problem: "Equal competition, no concessions, no harm, each according to his ability." ”

"Stupid. For the first time, the blue-robed immortal didn't ask a question, but evaluated Gu Jianping's answer in just two words.

Gu Jianping said with a smile: "The younger generation is like this by nature, even if it is stupid, it is also its own way. ”

The blue-robed immortal slowly spoke: "What is a friend?"

Without waiting for Gu Jianping's reaction, he replied by himself: "Help each other, share weal and woe, and cultivate together is a friend in the Dao." ”

"What is a confidant? What can make your soul feel happy, satisfied, and other emotional thoughts, that is, a confidant. ”

"What is a wife's relatives and friends? Those who can make your soul feel comfortable, satisfied, and happy, and who are protected by them, and who bring all kinds of self-satisfaction, self-affirmation, and self-sublimation thoughts from a sense of responsibility, are your wife's relatives and friends. ”

"What is a respected elder, and what his teachings make you feel envious, such as dependence, joy, emotion, and wanting to repay, is a respected elder. ”

...... He said sentence by sentence, listening to Gu Jianping's heart shake, he actually analyzed all kinds of relationships one by one from his own point of view, and in the novelty and mystery of the argument, there was a faint coldness revealed, which made Gu Jianping can't help but feel a chill.

"What is an enemy? Whoever is in danger to you and makes you feel angry, aggrieved, murderous, and so on, is an enemy. ”

"All of these things arise from their own emotional thoughts, which seem real and are all false!"

"You have cultivated to the Venerable of the Great Dao, can't you still control your emotions and thoughts, and are affected by all kinds of vanity?!"

Although it is plain and bland, the blue-robed immortal said it word by word, which really has a deafening feeling, making Gu Jianping feel like he has been drunk, and he feels that it is really the most reasonable, and it is justified, if it is not for the sweat and other things, I am afraid that he will be drenched in cold sweat and sweat.

But in this feeling, Gu Jianping has a faint sense of contradiction and disobedience.

"Everything in the world is clear because of what I feel, and true because of my emotions, as long as I can control my own mood and emotions, what can't I kill?"

The blue-robed immortal continued to ask rhetorical questions one after another.

"Best friends, as long as I can control my mood and cut off emotional thoughts such as joy, emotion, and comfort, they are like passers-by, why can't I kill them?"

"Confidant Hongyan, as long as I can control my state of mind and cut off emotional thoughts such as pleasure, satisfaction, and satisfaction, it is a white bone skeleton, why can't I kill it?"

"My wife, relatives and friends, as long as I can control my state of mind and cut off emotional thoughts such as comfort, satisfaction, happiness, self-satisfaction, self-affirmation, and self-sublimation, they are no different from everything else, so why can't I kill them?"

......, "There is nothing but me, even if it is not a battle of the Great Dao, what can not be killed?"

"The reason why you shirk your nature and don't dare to kill people is that you can't break through this kind of vanity and obsession, which is why I say you are stupid. ”

The blue-robed immortal's voice was still flat and undulating, not like he was talking about all kinds of terrible things, but like he was chatting with Gu Jianping about his life ideals.

The handsome face that appeared like a crown of jade, looked at Gu Jianping, and said indifferently:

"So, can you understand it!"

Gu Jianping's soul seemed to be affected by a burst of impact, not only feeling that this was the real avenue path, but also feeling ridiculous.

"He, who the hell is he?!"

Gu Jianping's thoughts fluctuated in his heart, and from every sentence, he guessed who this blue-robed immortal was!

He is the Dao Ancestor who is rumored to have killed so heavily that all the picture scrolls and jade slips cannot carry his image, and only when he sees it with his own eyes will he know his appearance, from ancient times to the present, the most legendary Dao Ancestor in the heavens and ten thousand worlds.

He is the Killing Sword Ancestor who killed his wife and preached, and his name is Jing Keshou!

Gu Jianping looked at the Killing Sword Ancestor, and for a moment he didn't know what to understand, and he didn't know how to answer.

The Killing Sword Ancestor carried his hands behind his back, walked parallel to Gu Jianping, looked at the void above, and said indifferently: "Everything in the world is born from the Great Dao, and it is very close to the Great Dao, but it is only contaminated with all kinds of things that it deviates from itself, and only by exploring everything can we get close to the Great Dao." ”

"But at this point, it's just close to the Dao, and if you want to be true to the Dao, there is still the last obstacle. ”

"The Great Dao has no nature, so the last and biggest obstacle is yourself, your nature. ”

"If you don't kill yourself, what kind of nature is empty, so as to become the ancestral realm of the Great Dao?"

"It's very simple to kill external objects caused by one's own emotional thoughts, but self-existence is also an obsession, can you kill them?"

Hearing these words that were full of murderous aura but said in a flat tone, Gu Jianping felt that his heart was shocked, and he was a little confused about his avenue for a while.

In the midst of the shock, Gu Jianping still couldn't help but resist the slap in his heart from the Killing Sword Ancestor. These resistances come from the little realizations of one's own cultivation years, from the firm path, the intersection of dragons and tigers, and from the experience of cutting through the delusion, seeing the mind, and achieving Dao Venerable.

If you do what the Sword Ancestor said, all this past will become vain and meaningless, since you have to kill your nature to be able to reach the Buddha realm, what is the use of firming your path? What is the use of seeing your mind? What is the use of holding your nature?!

seemed to see Gu Jianping's resistance and hesitation, killed the Sword Ancestor, looked at Gu Jianping, and walked towards Gu Jianping in one step:

"If you don't have a firm path, how can you see clearly?"

"How can we really kill our nature if we don't know what we think about and how we control our nature?"

"The Taoist master is natural, the four major realms of Buddhism are empty, and the removal of all kinds of acquired contamination is to get to the point where you can really kill your nature, return to your innateness, and use the realm of the Buddha to be empty. ”

"In the past, whether it was the cultivation of the Dharma or the Dao Heart, it was all for the purpose of laying the foundation for this step, and it was a means, not an end. ”

"When you cling to the past, you confuse the difference between means and ends, take means as ends, and are deceived by vanity. ”

"Don't you understand?"

The oppression is getting bigger and bigger, and he directly criticizes Gu Jianping's heart sentence by sentence, which makes Gu Jianping feel breathless, what he said seems to be right, is he really obsessed with the past and confused the means and the end?

Under this questioning, Gu Jianping only felt that his Dao heart began to waver. Spontaneously, there is a sense of "feeling that today is and yesterday is not".

Just when Gu Jianping's heart was completely shaken, some pictures suddenly flashed in his mind:

In the past, the master who talked and laughed with himself and other disciples with a pleasant face--- the Silent Dao Ancestor, the Five Elements Dao Ancestor .....who liked fishing and delicacies, and the Buddha who often traveled around selling goods on Sundays.

These Dao ancestors are powerful, and it stands to reason that they have already completed the Dao, and they have realized that their nature is empty, but they are ordinary. but like a mortal man.

And some of the immortals I know who have not been able to be promoted to the position of Dao Ancestor Dao Venerable for a long time have no nature no matter when and where, and they are as ruthless and sexless as gold and stone.

In a trance, Gu Jianping remembered the words of the old Taoist priest who had long since passed away on the first day of his cultivation.

"Cultivation is the cultivation of the mind, the cultivation of the nature of the mind to the point where it changes at will but does not change, so as to correspond to different things and different things, just like the 'Great Dao'. ”

These clichΓ©d words and phrases were known to most of the monks in the heavens and all worlds, but now that they think about it. It's really meaningful.

What I have cultivated step by step to this realm is great perseverance, great wisdom, great firmness, firm path, clear vision, and sticking to my nature.

How could he completely deny the past, deny all his perceptions of cultivation and the Great Dao, and give up his own nature just because of the words of killing the Sword Ancestor?!

As soon as the thought turned, Gu Jianping's heart gradually stabilized.
