050 Imprint of Heaven and Earth
Although he had chosen the formation and talisman spell, Lu Jinghong was still very dazed in his heart, and finally couldn't help but ask Mao Tuan: "Why do I read those fantasy novels, what cultivation is true, what is cultivation, or what is the exercise, what is the meridian operation, or what is the fighting qi, what is the cultivation of flames, spirit beasts, why did you come to me, I haven't been given any basic exercises for so long, so I can cultivate to build a foundation, and then what kind of qi training, transformation of gods, knot yuan baby or something?"
"Until now, I don't know what skill is except for knowing how to look at qi, whether I have the strength or not, and how to use the formation?"
This time, Mao Tuan was rarely very solemn, and instead of directly answering Lu Jinghong's question, he waved his hand and laid out a formation in the room, and then said, "What do you think is the Tao?"
"The Tao is the rules by which heaven and earth work. ”
"That's it, then what do you rely on as a mortal to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth?"
Lu Jinghong was confused by the question.
"Have you ever seen an ant understand how the forest you live in? Do you know that summer insects are indescribable? Do you think a squid in the deep sea can imagine how an elephant runs?"
Lu Jinghong was thoughtful.
"If I were to describe to you something I've never seen before, if I say, this thing, with a little garden and a little square, with ears, a long nose, four legs, and a slender tail, can you imagine what it is?"
Lu Jinghong said: "No. ”
"Then if I tell you that this thing has two ears like a fan, four legs like a tree trunk, and a slender nose like a rope, what do you know now?"
Lu Jinghong said: "Elephants. ”
"Then why did you guess what I described the second time? Because I used something you've seen as a metaphor so that you can associate and draw on similar images to make up an image, but if you've never seen a Kunpeng, I'll describe it to you, ah, a fish looks like a Kunpeng, can you imagine what this fish looks like?"
Lu Jinghong vaguely felt something in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it for a while, so he said, "You go on..."
"Have you read the Tao Te Ching? The Tao Te Ching says that there is a mixture of things, born from nature, lonely, independent and unchanging, and circumferential without dying, which can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, but the word is the way. The name of the strong is great. That is to say, before the creation of heaven and earth, there were already rules of heaven and earth. Lao Tzu didn't know how to describe it, name it, and only call it Tao. ”
"But the question is, do you think there is a big difference between the power and cognition of human beings, the rules of heaven and earth, and the comparison between ants and the forest where they live?"
"I don't think there's a difference. ”
"Do you think an ant can understand that the forest where he lives will one day be destroyed by a flood? Maybe it's unlikely, right? But why can the Taoist ancestors tell you clearly that people can understand the rules of heaven and earth?"
Lu Jinghong said thoughtfully, "Because, someone has done it." Some people have comprehended the rules of heaven and earth, such as Lao Tzu, such as Shakyamuni. For example, the beginning of the old man ......"
"Why don't you think people who have comprehended the rules of heaven and earth tell you what the rules of heaven and earth are?"
Lu Jinghong reappeared: "Because, it can't be described, it's not anything we've seen that can be compared to it." ”
The hair ball snapped his fingers. "There's nothing wrong with it, but why did the first saint comprehend it, but he couldn't describe it, but he said that everyone can comprehend it?"
Lu Jinghong subconsciously asked: "Why?" As soon as the words came out, he couldn't help but pat himself, why did he become a joker.
Mao Tuan said word by word: "Because there is a complete imprint of the rules of heaven and earth on people!"
Lu Jinghong's eyes widened.
"That's why do Taoists say that the human body is rare! Because only human beings can comprehend the complete rules of heaven and earth, in addition to the divine beasts and spirit beasts, why can animals and plants only cultivate into demons, because they cannot comprehend the complete imprint of heaven and earth. Therefore, they need to cultivate their human form first, and they also need to make up for one thing, which is the original god. ”
"Only people have three souls and seven spirits, as well as primordial spirits. Why is it said that people are born according to the rules of heaven and earth, in fact, the rules of heaven and earth are directly imprinted in the original spirit of people! And the original heart we are talking about is the most true original spirit of human beings, in addition to the purest when they are born, once they are born, they inhale the acquired qi from the first cry, and they begin to be blinded by the five senses, passively accept and process all kinds of information, but forget the most true appearance. If a person can truly have inner peace and return to the cleanliness of the original primordial gods, he will naturally be able to find and even activate the imprint of the rules of heaven and earth from the primordial gods. ”
Lu Jinghong seems to understand it, so what should I do?
Mao Tuan said: "You can meditate in your Qimen space, slowly find the state of inner tranquility and waves, I can teach you a mantra, and you can recite it silently in your heart while meditating, which can help your mind calm down." How quiet you can be, the more your primordial spirit will be able to retrace its initial state and eventually activate the Great Dao Imprint. As far as you can activate, your power will reach. ”
Lu Jinghong was puzzled: "I think I am very quiet when I meditate." ”
Mao Tuan smiled: "You think you are quiet, but in fact, you are restless in your heart, are you irritable, are you not sad, joyless, and careless?"
Lu Jinghong was speechless for a while. Then a question came to mind, "What about you, and how do you practice?"
Mao Tuan said: "I am the body of a white tiger, and I am born with the way of killing in the primordial gods, I only need to keep my heart immaculate, and I can use energy, and the strength of the energy that can be controlled depends on my own ability." It's like I was born with a pry bar in my hand, I have a lot of strength, and the power that can be leveraged, that is, the greater the power of heaven and earth that I can borrow, this is different from people. ”
Lu Jinghong said curiously: "Then why does Yuan Shi Lao'er still force you to go through the training? Aren't you just stronger your ability?"
Mao Tuan said: "So this is the most powerful place for people, we beasts, even if they are divine beasts, after all, we are simple in our hearts, give us 10,000 years to sit in the mountains and forests, and we can't think of the tricks and conspiracies of human beings, and it is difficult to understand the greed of human beings, the strong desire, and the treacherous and changeable means." ”
"Yuan Shi Lao'er said that people are immortals and demons, if the heart is pure, you can become an immortal, if the heart is blinded by greed and hatred, then you will become a demon. And the power of the devil is often stronger than the righteous path in the early days. Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs, and there must be yin and yang, and there must be yin and yang. Therefore, if a monk is confused by greed and hatred, and his greed reaches a certain level, he can also use the power of femininity, but that is only a demon. But the devil often has the greed, treachery, ruthlessness and unrighteousness of human nature, and this ruthlessness and unrighteousness is not at all the kind of unkindness of heaven and earth, which is just and selfless and impartial. And this ruthlessness and unrighteousness is selfish to the extreme. Yuan Shi Lao'er said that if I can't see the demon of human nature, I can't understand the ultimate of the Great Dao after all, because if I don't understand yin, I can't deeply understand yang, so he drove me down the mountain. ”
Lu Jinghong muttered: "Yuan Shi Lao'er said this is a bit of a loophole. ”
Mao Tuan was taken aback: "What loopholes?"
"I know shit can't be eaten, I can't eat it to understand that it really can't be eaten, right?"
Mao Tuan covered his face and said: "But if you really eat it, you will never want to do the same thing for the rest of your life." ”
Lu Jinghong smiled, "What you said makes sense." So what I'm going to do now is not to expand the meridians, open up the two veins of Rendu, the eight veins of the Qi meridian or something, I just need to trace my own primordial spirit?"
After speaking, he glanced at Mao Tuan strangely: "Why do I think you seem to have really eaten shit?"
The hair ball immediately pounced with teeth and claws.
