Chapter 425: Peach and Plum Don't Speak?
He has a body in the sky, and he has a magic sword in his hand. He leans on one side, and he obeys everything. He punched red letters, and he spent money like dirt. He's armed with, he's blind. He survived alone, and he led the world. He is dashing, and his wife and concubines are forested. His words must be yellow, and he is in the limelight. He taught three and nine streams, and he led the audience. His double knife is not colorless, and he is not convinced. He decided that the world was not right. He went offline and left the Internet café. He ate a bowl of instant noodles and was about to start moving bricks......
This is a joke that Fang Tian saw on the Internet in his previous life, and it can also be said that it is a witty sentence.
At that time, when he saw the last sentence of this paragraph, Fang Tian finally profoundly understood what "God Unfolded" or "God reversed", and what was the finishing touch, which was far from enough to convey the wonders.
At this time, when I thought of this passage, it was a matter of interest.
When the unreal cannot be reflected in reality, over-investing in the unreal and enjoying the growth, happiness and glory in the unreal will eventually be ridiculed or punished by reality.
It's just that such an illusion is easy to recognize and can be seen through at a glance.
And there are things......
"Your joy cannot be kept forever, just as the color of the clouds on the horizon cannot be kept forever. As time goes by, your joy will fade away. Similarly, as the sun rises, the color of the clouds on the horizon will slowly fade. In this way, I don't think there is a difference between the two. ”
Andy replied to Ivan's question.
And so it is.
in life. No matter how much joy or pain, as time goes by. Eventually, it will slowly fade away, so that it will disappear completely. Until that time. It's hard for you to think about that again, to make yourself happy or miserable again.
So another talented man named Nalan Rongruo said such a sentence, "If life is only as it is first seen." Why does the original amazement and emotion slowly fade away, so that one day the once affectionate lingering will become a stranger?
Is it really because people's hearts are changing? Or is it just that they were "lost in their eyes and lost their hearts"?
Could this be another kind of reality beating the unreal?
If this joy is true. That "truth" will inevitably dissipate over time until another joy or pain comes again, but it will also dissipate again after a certain period of time. Until it comes again.
――The question is, when those feelings are gone, what is left in the human heart?
Calm?
Insipid?
Or is it just a blank space?
The original meaning of calm is to describe the surface of the water, and it is easy to think of the human heart as a lake or the sea, when the lake and sea have no waves, we say "calm", and when the lake and sea are blown by the wind and splashed by other things, there will be ripples or waves.
Is this ripple or wave that kind of joy or sorrow?
If this is true, then the key is. Will this lake and sea of the human heart, over time, remain unchanged, or will it be depleted or expanded, or will it simply be pure or polluted?
If it remains the same, then there is no problem, and there is no such thing as any practice or non-practice.
On such a basis, all the practices involving the nature of the mind are nothing more than foolish dreams. Or rather, in vain.
Like Sisyphus in ancient Greek mythology in his previous life, this lord had to push a stone from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain every day, but the next day, the stone still fell back to its original place, and he continued to do the same work......
If the lake and sea will dry up or expand, will it be better to dry up or expand?
That's the first question. And the second question is, is there any means or means to change it for the better?...,
Then, if the lake and sea are going to be pure or polluted, is it better to be pure or polluted?
Some people will say that purity is good, and this is a matter of course.
Not really.
On the other hand, purity is also a kind of barrenness, and pollution can also be said to be a kind of abundance.
But if nothing is allowed to be touched by him, and only the bottom of the well is locked up, just like the well where Fang Tian lives now, then what will it be like in ten, twenty, or fifty years?
It's hard to say what the situation is, but it's certainly not beautiful.
......
This is just a "calm", plainness and blankness have their own extensions, at this moment, Fang Tian thought a lot, a lot.
Why do you want to think about this?
In his previous life, these had nothing to do with him, nothing to do with his life.
But in this life, it's different.
These things, which involve his practice, affect his future path more strictly. ――How far can you trust a person who doesn't even know what his mind is?
At this time, Fang Tian also remembered a sentence from Zhuangzi, which was in the chapter of "The Great Master", "Falling limbs, degrading intelligence, detaching from the form and knowing, the same as Datong, this is called sitting and forgetting." ”
To degenerate one's limbs, to degenerate one's intelligence, to detach oneself from one's form, is to train a person to be a fool or an idiot.
But Zhuangzi was neither a fool nor an idiot.
The reason is simple, it is impossible for a fool or an idiot to write such an unbridled and imaginative chapter.
Therefore, the phrase "degraded limbs, degraded wisdom, and detached from form" here is only expediency, only a means, not an end.
The purpose is to be "the same as Chase" in the back.
Datong is the Great Dao, which means that Tong Guò is a means to connect itself with the "Great Dao" in the dark.
At this time, Fang Tian remembered the "fasting" in ancient China in his previous life.
The primitive fasting was associated with sacrifices, and it was widely believed that the body and mind could be purified and worshiped to the gods.
In essence, this is Zhuangzi's "the same as the Great Dao", and the content of fasting is also very similar to the content of "degrading limbs, degrading wisdom, and detaching from form".
So here's the problem. A newborn is not without going through any means. Further, more primitive beasts than humans and even plants and trees. Isn't it more "the same avenue"?
Fang Tian did not agree with such a statement.
If this statement is true, it can even be deduced that the universe does not need to evolve at all, and it is most appropriate to keep it in the most primitive "singularity" or chaotic state, which is the most maximal way.
What are you still evolving for? Aren't you willing to fall!
Therefore, now Fang Tian can basically conclude. "Quiet body and mind" is not the right path of cultivation, let alone the great way.
But the problem is, in general. For meditation to work well, you really need this state. ――This is also what makes Fang Tian feel puzzled. -- Why is it that he has basically concluded that he is not on the right path, let alone the great way, and is actually conducive to his cultivation?
This is a great contradiction.
But contradictions are also opportunities.
Unraveling this contradiction, it will become transparent as soon as it becomes clear.
Before, Fang Tian said to Andy and the others, "My path is the path that goes straight to my heart. ”
This is a casual remark even if there is no suspicion of pretending to be B, of course. It is also possible that he was influenced by some of the novels he had read in his previous life, and that as his cultivation progressed, Fang Tian felt more and more that he was a little fond of a certain "simplicity".
So, the phrase "pointing directly to the heart" blurted out so inadvertently.
But after saying it, under the questioning and discussion of Andy and others, and under his own thinking, Fang Tiancai found out. This is actually a black hole in cultivation. ...,
Breaking through this black hole is a big world, and in terms of cultivation, it will be a great development and achievement that is not inferior to the myths and legends of "opening up the heavens and the earth, fixing the earth, fire, water, and wind."
If you can't break it, I'm afraid you'll be swallowed by it.
At this time, Fang Tian had joy and distress in his heart.
Joy is due to the discovery of opportunity, and distress is the same reason. -- What is the way to break open the door of the house where this opportunity is?
The debate between Andy, Falstein and others has continued, and even has a tendency to heat up.
Apparently, they also discovered the fascination of this black hole.
Of course, it is also possible, because this is a question raised by Fang Tian. ――If you figure it out, will you get such a rapid promotion from His Highness Fang Tian?
The eight people present were all first-level magicians.
In the words of a previous life, they are all the elite of the elite, well, the real elite. Everyone has several brushes.
What's more, in front of Fang Tian, everyone probably had some thoughts, so the excitement of the discussion was endless, and in the process of discussion, everyone always showed a thoughtful or rewarding look.
On the contrary, it was Fang Tian, who had been silent.
As the discussion progressed, seeing that Fang Tian was just listening, everyone simply abandoned him and only treated him as a transparent person.
Sometimes, when you study something, you don't get the direct results, but there are a lot of indirect or additional results.
This was a very common thing in Fang Tian's various project studies in his previous life.
It's like someone researching how to lose weight, but in the process, they invent a brilliant recipe for instant noodles. Another example is Liu An and Liu Daxia in ancient times, and his group of guys studied how to make alchemy, but in the process, they got tofu out.
The same is true of this discussion.
In the process of discussion, the black hole of "heart" has not been broken, but because the discussants are all extraordinary people, there are discoveries in the discussion and collision.
Andy thought of the letter Fang Tian had replied to Joseph before.
In that letter, Fang Tian taught Joseph the method of making a villain or throwing a stone sculpture to better meditate, and Andy came to a conclusion at this time, "Vent all kinds of emotions vigorously, and the more you vent, the closer you are to your heart, the more helpful it is to meditate." ”
Fang Tian felt that this old brother might have been a convergent sect in his cultivation before, that is, the kind that forcibly suppressed any kind of love to calm down, so at this time, he seized an opportunity and exploded.
When Andy asked Fang Tian for his opinion on this, Fang Tian smiled and nodded.
This nod contributed to Andy's determination to stand on the sword test table. In the future, the name of "Andy the Great Demon King" resounded on the nine-star list and the magic rookie hall, because of today. Of course, that's a story for later.
Eric felt that he had been running around and priding himself on the breadth of his knowledge, which was a very shallow thing.
Compared to His Highness Fang Tian, he was simply self-conscious.
So the old man decided that in his future practice, he would "cut off all affiliations and purify the body and mind".
When he asked Fang Tian for his opinion on this, Fang Tian also smiled and nodded. Although purifying the body and mind is not the right path, it can play a great role in this gentleman.
Xu Xiake only has the opportunity to brew and achieve "Xu Xiake's Travels" every day when he is quiet, if he has been just running around, exhausted during the day, and sleeping at night, he is just an ordinary tourist.
Ivan, Falstein, and others all came to their own conclusions, and each found some shortcomings in their past during this discussion, so they decided to make adjustments in their future practice, and their adjustments were all strange, almost in the same pattern of "big turns", or big turns.
The former small and pure, decided to transform into a big-bellied black.
In the past, a humble gentleman was as gentle as jade, but he decided that he must raise his head at a 45-degree angle when he walked in the future, so that he would be domineering.
In the past, if you meditate for a short time and meditate dozens of times a day, you decided to meditate only once or twice a day in the future, and extend the time of each meditation indefinitely.
......
Being asked all the time, Fang Tian also kept smiling and nodding.
So in the end, the eight of them bowed down together and sincerely thanked His Highness Fang Tian for his earnest guidance and selfless teaching. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
