"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, and it turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, and it flies angrily, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. ”

This is from Zhuangzi's "Getaway" famous sentence, the artistic conception is floating, the scenery depicted, magnificent and vast, in the desolate world, in the North Sea, but there is also such a terrible demon sage, the land of the North Underworld, Kunpeng. This Kunpeng, a powerful man in the flood period, has been to Zixiao Palace, heard the Taoist ancestor Hongjun preach, murdered Hongyun, tried to seize Hongmeng purple qi, and served as the emperor's teacher of the demon clan's heavenly court.

And this description of Kunpeng, a few sentences, explains the ontological appearance of this Kunpeng, how not to be shocking.

Even, even Kunpeng himself in the Northern Netherworld has a very high evaluation of Zhuangzi's "Getaway".

And that's not all.

Zhuangzi's identity is also many, there are various versions of Fanchen Xianxia, gathered together, there are many versions, it is embarrassing, the combat power is so powerful, and it is beyond the mortal world.

And the position left by everyone is the Zhuangzi of Xuandu in the middle of the wilderness, and if it is arranged according to the combat effectiveness and background of the major versions of Zhuangzi, it is undoubtedly the only one.

The law of the jungle, no matter where you are.

There are scholars in the school, and there is a difference in order among the hundreds of schools, the old nature is Taoism, and then it is Confucianism, and the latter is a different order, and there is a lot of controversy.

As for why Taoism is the first and Confucianism is the second, there is no need to say more.

As far as the entire main god space is concerned, as long as it is in a feudal society, then almost all scholars belong to Confucianism.

Not to mention Taoism, there are definitely not as many people who want to cultivate immortals, and the world of cultivating immortals is almost full of people who want to become immortals, and those feudal societies don't know how many emperors want to cultivate immortals.

Even when the earth had not yet entered the primordial world and jumped out of the material universe, wasn't it true that there were many people who were eager to cultivate immortals?

Zhuangzi is like this, and Lao Tzu, who is in the first place, is an existence at the level of the sky, and he is a big man who moves the world. Whether it is in any parallel world or cultivation world, as long as there is such a person, it must be incomparably against the sky.

Most people know the identity of Lao Tzu. Whether it is the mortal Lao Tzu, or at the beginning of the three chaos in one breath, Taiqing established the religion from nothingness. Whoever passed Zhou Lidong to Kong, who entered the letter to Guanhua Huyi. Chapter 81 Ming morality, the Taishang Laojun of the hundreds of billions of Zhenxuandu, that one's fame is not above others.

Among the hundreds of schools, Lao Tzu's Taoism is respected.

Now, the end of the Dharma era, the aura of heaven and earth has returned to the world, these people, the heart of the Dao, the talent of the Dao, are all superior, the epiphany ability is strong, enough to compare with those holy body gods, ordinary people see them, they will feel that the scalp is numb, incredible.

A realm for a few days, breaking through is as casual as eating and drinking, super terrifying.

Among them, the giants within the major "families" are even more retreats, and they can step from the mortal realm to the point of "swallowing a golden pill in the stomach, and my life is up to me".

Just when everyone was thinking about when the big guys would arrive, outside the Jixia School Palace, a fluttering butterfly flew into the main hall and landed on the location of Zhuangzi.

"Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, it's really Zhuang Zhou Mengdie!"

Among the people of all the families here, which one of them is weak, they are all people with clear minds and exquisite hearts.

Seeing this butterfly landing on Zhuangzi's position, he reacted immediately and said indifferently in a low voice.

"Greetings to Zhuangzi. ”

In an instant, as the words fell, the butterfly turned out to be a beautiful young man with a graceful demeanor, glanced at the hundreds of schools of thought indifferently, and said, "There are a lot of old friends! "I just sat there stunned, not knowing what I was thinking.

Among the great powers of the heavens, the character of Zhuangzi is very individual, why do you say that? Everyone else relies on the power of the divine soul, breaks away from the mortal womb, wanders outside the world, and understands all kinds of things in the world.

But Zhuangzi prefers to swim the world in the form of a butterfly, and there is an interesting story in it.

In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had become a butterfly, a very vivid and vivid butterfly, how happy and comfortable he felt! I woke up suddenly, and I realized in a panic that I was Zhuang Zhou. I don't know if Zhuang Zhou became a butterfly in his dream, or did a butterfly become Zhuang Zhou in his dream? There must be a difference between Zhuang Zhou and a butterfly. This is called the intersection and change of the crop and me.

Then the question arises, whether Zhuangzi becomes a butterfly in his dream, or a butterfly becomes Zhuangzi in his dream, it is really difficult to distinguish.

Just like now, Zhuangzi transformed into a lifelike butterfly, floating between heaven and earth, just like an ordinary butterfly, wandering the world, dancing in the wind, falling into the eyes of everyone, they see both butterflies and not butterflies, both Zhuangzi and not Zhuangzi, which is mysterious and unspeakable, not Tao, but in the dark, revealing a sense of Taoism.

If you look closely, you will have a feeling of tingling in your scalp, just like the Matrix, in the rule of Skynet, no one knows that the world they live in is virtual, unreal, like in a dream.

So the question is, is our current world real or illusory?

Is the universe we live in real or illusory?

This question is unanswerable and unsearchable.

Even at the level of Jiang Feng, it is still difficult to grasp, real and illusory, sometimes, just a thought, you think it is real, then the world is incomparably real, you think it is unreal, then it is incomparably illusory, real and illusory for the supreme and powerful, but a thought.

One thought creates the universe, and one thought subverts the universe and destroys.

This is a scenery that can only be overlooked by standing on top of it, a unique and wonderful scenery.

"The younger generation is Qingfeng and wants to ask Zhuangzi a question. Taoists pay attention to immortality and cultivate the Tao and cultivate the mind. But I sat in the mountains, meditating until I died, but I couldn't preach. Why is this? Penance, but useless, is this? Those people of the devil's path, who seize the spiritual things of the world and use all living beings as food, can actually attain the Tao and live forever. I was not convinced, and there was a vague demonic thought, so I dared to ask the giant question. Please also ask the giant to solve my doubts. ”

In the crowd, a loose cultivator came out, bent down respectfully to the giants of each family, and said.

"Huh?"

The others frowned slightly when they saw this casual cultivator who didn't have much fame, with their strength, how could they not see that what this casual cultivator said was not bad. The sea of heart between the eyebrows on Qingfeng's forehead was indeed faintly demonic, but it was shocked by the humane luck condensed by the convergence of the hundreds of schools, and there was no seizure. If you leave here, I am afraid that the demons in your heart will attack your heart, and you will definitely die. But they didn't stop him from going on.

Because they want to hear what this person says, and see Zhuangzi's explanation.

Jixia Xuegong, sitting and discussing, words and deeds are unscrupulous, naturally will not stifle his ideas.

What's more, what Qingfeng said is indeed a powdery truth, and it really exists.

Cultivating the Dao, many of them are basically walking on this path now.

However, how difficult it is to obtain the Dao, and the road to cultivating immortals is even more difficult.

Many people say that they have been in retreat for a long time, and they are not as strong as others for a few days, and I don't know how many people have almost entered the demonic barrier.

I can't sigh with emotion, "How unfair is the way of heaven."

Therefore, for the uselessness of retreat and asceticism, and the hustle and bustle of the world, countless people have turned to the devil's path, and the world has become a miasma, and there is no half-Taoist mentality, self-cultivation, and quiet inaction.

The appearance of scattered cultivation is not surprising, according to common sense, Jixia School Palace is indeed almost all people of the hundred schools of thought. However, there are still a lot of casual cultivators who come here to find opportunities.

After all, the Jixia Academy Palace in this life is different from the past.

In the past, the territory was small, there were few people, and there were few strong people, but now? Gods and demons are everywhere, and the population does not know how many mortals, if only those people from the past are allowed to enter, then the purpose of the entire Jixia School Palace will be lost.

Nowadays, the threshold for entering the Jixia School Palace is not high, as long as it is not a book and a book, if it is a family, it is basically the same as the previous free and open scenic spots, you can enter at will.

If you want to write a book and speak, it will be a little difficult, and you will have to go through the approval of a large part of the "family" of the entire Jixia School Palace to succeed.

Even those who are Confucian have split into many doctrines, such as mind, science, and so on. Aren't you still attached to the banner of Confucianism, reining in your own doctrines, and not daring to jump out and become your own family?

Another point, that is, there is not even a patrol guard in the Jixia School Palace today, so to speak, anyone can come in, there is no threshold, and the low one is pitiful, which can be said to be free to the extreme.

However, I estimate that there are not many people in the whole world who have lost their minds and want to find fault here, and the combat power of these sons and hundreds of schools alone is enough to destroy most of the imperial dynasties at will.

"Is it useless to retreat and do penance?"

Zhuangzi smiled slightly, shook his head, looked at the loose cultivator, and asked, "Do you know how old I am?

"This ...... The juniors don't know. ”

Qingfeng looked at Zhuangzi and thought for a moment, if it is according to history, you should only be a few decades, but according to the fantasy flood, even if you have experienced an unknown number of years, at least millions of years.

"I have lived for 3.8 billion years now, and I have been practicing with my teacher for 3.8 billion years, so if you have been practicing for so long, you can sit in my place. How can penance be useless? Now, if your Dao heart is not firm, there will be an invasion of demons. If the Dao heart is tempered as the same and the tenacity remains the same, how can you fall into such a realm? ”

Zhuangzi used himself as an example to refute the uselessness of this penance.

Immediately, Zhuangzi pondered for a moment and continued: "Penance is not for you to hide in one place and cultivate until you die. What we pay attention to is to enter the WTO to hang the pot, accumulate merit and luck, extend our own blessings, cultivate our own nature, and find our own opportunities. When he was born, he realized the path of detachment and stepped into the door of cultivation. The path of cultivation is so difficult, many mortals have a fate, and so are cultivators. Life is too short, and I know why you're asking so much. Do you want to say that we are not like you immortal gods and demons, you can live forever and take your time. Even if we are in the Jindan realm, it is only a few hundred years. Yuan Ying is only thousands of years, and after that, the distraction, integration, and the Mahayana road is even more distant, and it does not become an immortal, after all, it is just a pounce of loess? Yes and no?"

"Yes, we are not afraid of penance. However, penance has no reward, and for hundreds of years sitting there, there is no half gain, waiting for death in vain, such a pain, how sad it is!"

Qingfeng also showed a sad look, they are such casual cultivators, they are ancient immortal cultivators, just find a place to slowly cultivate, the progress of cultivation, the early stage is very fast, the later stage is, decades like a day, without the slightest inch of progress, can not feel the increase in strength, enough to force many of them crazy.

"Hey, Gu Xiu pays attention to boredom. If you don't have this Dao heart, don't choose the path of ancient cultivation. It's good to change the door as soon as possible. Ancient cultivators, they practice day and night, all the time. Dedicate his entire life to cultivation, abandon the mortal dust, and be high, just like the way of heaven, ruthless and unrighteous. There is no half-point emotion. In the end, he attained enlightenment. I see that your mortal heart is not broken, and you should choose to cultivate today. Today's cultivation is about stealing the resources of heaven and earth, supplying oneself, obtaining extraordinary power, pursuing shortcuts, and making progress every moment. But have you ever thought about it? Why, it's not those present cultivators sitting here, but us ancient cultivators?"

Zhuangzi is not such a closed person, and he also knows some about the dynamics of the entire heavens and ten thousand worlds, and the main god space has also traveled a few times, and all kinds of things in it have entered his eyes.

At this moment, when talking to Qingfeng, it is natural that you will not feel estranged, and you will not not understand why Qingfeng and other casual cultivators have such thoughts.

"I don't know. ”

Qingfeng thought about it, the giants in this are indeed most of the ancient cultivators, aren't they living for a long time and being powerful?

"Today's repair, the road is slow, seize the day. After his own death, there was a huge flood there. However, their minds are as flawed as Gu Xiu. The avenue is indeed ruthless, but it is also affectionate. If you erase all your emotions, even if you get the Great Dao, you are just a puppet. In contrast, those in the West who believe in God are examples. Under the support of countless years of believers, their own hearts have long been corrupted by those believers and become what they need. The god of justice must be righteous, and the god of evil must be evil, and it is impossible to change, and he can only go one way to the dark, be kidnapped by sentient beings, and lose his own nature. Don't want such an immortality. Therefore, what I pay attention to is a kind of sentient immortal, ruthless immortal, affectionate and ruthless immortal, go with the flow, act according to your own nature, do nothing on the road, do nothing without doing. ”

Zhuangzi's eyes flashed with a slight brilliance, and he continued: "Those people in the Demon Dao pay attention to seizing the creation of heaven and earth, indulging their own desires, and doing whatever it takes for power. There's nothing wrong with that. However, they have thought about it, heaven and earth give birth to human beings, and human beings have nothing to repay the heavens, and when they have stolen the resources of the world, all that remains is a road, the road of death, the road of destruction. If you indulge your desires and do not restrain them, in the end, you will be just a slave to your desires, hurting others and yourself. At that time, he was no longer himself, but the embodiment of his own desires, and he who had lost his true nature could not step into the pinnacle of the avenue. ”

"Let me ask you a question. If you become an immortal and immortal demon who steals the resources of the entire world and contains thousands of great powers, the price will be that the whole world will fall into a state of nothingness, and there will be no life in it. How do you choose?"

Zhuangzi turned his words, and his eyes revealed a subtle divine light, and he asked Qingfeng.

"I ...... I didn't think about it. ”

Qingfeng hesitated for a long time, struggling in the depths of his mind, he didn't know how to answer, cultivation was boring, he was bored and consumed his short life, in exchange for the dry bones on the road.

As a result, he began to resentfully all sentient beings, and he developed demons in his heart.

However, Zhuangzi's question made him stunned, the world was destroyed, and he became a lonely person, was that really what he wanted to see?

Thinking of that kind of eternal loneliness, the pain of being alone in the world, surrounded by nothingness and darkness, he shook his head violently, such a thing is too terrible, he doesn't want to think about it, and he doesn't want to face it.

"If you are the only one left, then is a person invincible? Is a person glorious? What a person has? All living beings must yearn for a sense of recognition and existence after all. Why are the rivers and lakes wonderful, intrigue, bloody killings, and conspiracy? No, it's not. The rivers and lakes are wonderful because of people, and there are people who have rivers and lakes, not because there are rivers and lakes. You know? It's good that everything is gone. However, do you want to see that kind of world? Dao law inaction does not make you blindly bored to cultivate immortals, nor does it let you blindly snatch and create. It's about going with the heart and realizing your own heart. What is the original mind, what is the nature? If you look at everything rationally, look at everything objectively, and look at everything almost in the Tao, then you can say enlightenment. ”

Zhuangzi looked around at the contemplative Baijia, closed his mouth, and stopped talking.

Many people have fallen into a state of silence, thinking about a question, everything is nothing, there is nothing, only oneself exists, what is it like?

Fear, fear that spreads from head to foot, an emotion that no one can describe.

Or without all living beings, only you exist, the so-called pretence, the so-called rules, the so-called interests, are not important.

Anyway, you are alone, you can be the emperor, you can be everything, you can be everything.

Demons end up with madness, and madness ends with destruction.

Boredom is a ruthless immortal in the end, but a ruthless immortal is the way of heaven in the end.

In everyone's minds at this moment, a sentence vaguely echoed.

"Heaven is unkind, and all things are used as dogs. ”

After a long time, he came to his senses, and a mocking smile broke out at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Those problems are too far away, let's talk about them when the time comes! Anyway, we shouldn't be able to touch them." ”

People will always look for some excuses, and they like to look at their own immediate interests, even if they are many immortal gods and demons.

It's as if I'll give you a hundred dollars at once, and then I'll give you one piece a day, and I'll give it in a hundred days. Which one would you choose?

There are many kinds of answers for 10,000 people, and if I were to choose, I would definitely choose to give 100 yuan immediately and give it in 100 days, isn't that stupid?

Cultivating immortals, the path of cultivation, the same is true, the demon path is a hundred at once, and the boring cultivation of immortals is the latter.

In the end, everyone is grouped together, but the demon path is magnificent, containing a lot of twists and turns, blood, and conspiracy, which is unusual.

The path of boring penance is like this day and night, and it has never changed.

In fact, Zhuangzi does not think that one path is very good for the choice of these paths, "whether it is a demon or an immortal." It's just a means on the path of cultivation. The road is difficult, and only those who survive are the ones who can go to the end. If you don't choose the path under your own feet, then who will know the future? The fate that remains unchanged is sad, and it is up to you how you grasp it. ”

"Are you talking about chicken soup?"

Some modern cultivators, when they saw this scene, were a little confused, how could it sound, Zhuangzi said for half a day, but didn't say anything!

However, there are some who feel that Zhuangzi has said everything.

Said and not said, very contradictory, but unable to refute.

Just like the Taiji diagram, black and white are blended, yin and yang are opposed, and yin and yang are fused with each other.

"Mencius, I have a question. ”

A young man dressed as an ancient swordsman walked out, blurted out a strong modern atmosphere, making everyone a little speechless, this is the strange thing that ran out of there.

"Hungry, I don't know what to say, little brother? In this place, you can talk freely, and do everything. We don't have any shelves, if you have any doubts in your heart, let go of the bold question. I will certainly not embarrass you. ”
