Chapter 31: The Nature of the Self
The way of peace asks the heart, although the desire arises, it is invisible.
The waves on the floating sea are calm, and you have to feel at ease.
Taiyi three people into a golden light into the peace of the array, said that this array is also ingenious, move with the heart, with the desire to inherit, if the ordinary people into the formation, inevitably indulge in the drunken gold scene emerges, if the emperor will enter the array, that is the world of thousands of worship, if you can't see through the distractions in your heart, this array of thousands of people can not get out.
But the current scene is completely different, it is the body of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Golden Immortals, and naturally there are not so many mortal thoughts, so the scene of entering the formation is an ethereal, floating and golden virtual image.
Taiyi squinted his eyes and examined the scene in front of him, and was a little more cautious in his heart:
"This is a virtual array, it is a test of the mind, but yin and yang are intertwined, and the void is extremely real, you might as well walk in the array first, and observe what is virtual and what is real."
Sure enough, just after walking a few steps, the floating light in front of him began to condense, and after a while, it turned into three translucent virtual images, real in the virtual, real in the virtual, and when you get closer to watch, it is the appearance of the three people who entered the battle.
Yu Ding twisted his beard and looked at Huang Long with a smile:
"Senior brother is a good skill, a few more blessings from you, this time is a lot more ingenious."
Huang Long looked smug and shook his head slightly as he pinched his Dao finger, obviously he had foreseen the situation in front of him.
"If I don't show some real skills, some people really think that the method of my Magu Cave in Erxian Mountain is fake, and it is a dispensable ability."
First, this Pingxin Array is based on the mystical variables, and secondly, in order to find the field in front of his junior brother, Huanglong Zhenren naturally has a little more strength.
The virtual image Yuding slowly spoke:
"Since you have entered the battle, you will answer, who is me?"
Yu Ding replied:
"There is no truth and no self, there is no you and no other, you are me, I am you."
The virtual image Huang Long nodded:
"Good, my doubts are your doubts, then, who can answer, what kind of doubts do we and the other three have?"
Having said a lot, it can be translated as: Although you know who I am, you don't necessarily know how I came to be. These words made the three of them hesitate for a long time, and Taiyi suddenly remembered something, and stepped forward to answer:
"Although we have practiced for many years, we have practiced the top three flowers, and the five qi in the chest, but there is still one step that cannot climb the avenue, Hongjun Patriarch once said, even if it is not a fairy who has not beheaded three corpses, and has not gone to the guest of the peach, he must also get rid of this trouble, which is the origin of the 'three corpses'."
The virtual image Taiyi asked, "What are the three corpses?" ”
Huang Long's first answer:
"The three corpses, also known as the three insects, are Peng Qi, Peng Zhi, and Peng Jiao, who live in the upper, middle and lower dantian, representing selfish desires, appetites, and sexual desires respectively."
Huang Long's answer was inevitably a bit like a script, and Yuding couldn't help but talk:
"You're going to be far away, where do we cultivators get our appetite and sexual desire, even if it's our nature, we have already cut it off."
The virtual image Huang Long asked, "Then what do you mean by three corpses?" ”
Yuding seemed to have a realization in his heart: "At the beginning of chaos, there was nothingness, and after experiencing the creation of this world by the ancient gods such as Pangu Nuwa, all those who have not ascended the holy path have three corpses, if they can't cut off the three corpses, no matter how much they practice, they will only stand still, and these three corpses are people's good, evil, and self." ”
Huang Long's doubts rose sharply when he heard this, and he asked Yuding:
"No, selfish desires, appetites, and sexual desires can still be eradicated, reaching the realm of no desires and no desires, and although their sex is weak, they can also distinguish between good and evil. If good, evil, and self are the three corpses, and if you cut off these three, you will have no good, no evil, and no self, how is this different from a wooden puppet? ”
Originally, it was three virtual images to answer the question by three people, but this is good, my side argued first, and I saved the effort of the virtual images in the array.
Yuding continued to retort:
"Good and evil are the nature of human beings, and the so-called lust and lust are the nature of ordinary people, if according to what you said, then we will teach the twelve golden immortals and intercept many Taoist friends, all of whom are mortals who can't even cut off the lust of lust?"
Huang Long twisted his beard lightly and smiled slightly and asked:
"For the battle of a treasure, the battle for the portal, the light is to fight fiercely, and the heavy is to fight, the two of you are the same way, ask yourself, how are we different from mortals? If you can't kill these three corpses, how can you get the Great Dao. ”
Yuding is naturally not used to him, and he has long been waiting for him:
"Your so-called selfish desires for eating and lust all come from judging good and evil, because there is good and evil in your heart, so you have the standard of distinguishing right from wrong, and because you have self in your heart, you have selfish desires. You are the path, and I am the road. ”
Huang Long: "What kind of avenue and small path, if you say so, cut off all your avenues, I'm afraid there will be nothing left." ”
Having said that, Huang Long's remarks also made Yu Ding fall into contemplation, whether it is a mortal or a saint, but it is feasible to eat lust and selfish desires, who can really cut off the instinctive nature of good and evil self?
Seeing this, the virtual image Yuding opened his mouth and said:
"Calm down, Fang Dedao, Fang Caier and others have already understood what they answered. If you can't answer, then go out and realize again, don't be obsessed with this and mislead your practice. ”
After all, this peace of mind array is to unlock your heart and have some understanding, not to trap you in a puzzle, if you really can't answer it, then leave it to time.
Taiyi slowly spoke:
"Heaven and earth are unkind, all things are dogs, at the beginning of chaos, there is no good and no evil, only the way of heaven is the true avenue."
As soon as these words came out, Yuding and Huanglong also understood in their hearts, the sun and the moon alternate the circumference of heaven and earth, the sun will not rise because of the good and evil in the world, and the moon will not sink because of their own nature, even if it is the number of soup in the future, the change of dynasty has already been set, this is the way of heaven.
Taiyi continued: "If everything is judged by one's own preferences, there will always be deviations, and only by following the cause and effect of heaven can we find the true self. ”
Huanglong Zhenren has his own understanding: "Good and evil can be abandoned, but self cannot, since the flood to the present, there are countless creatures in heaven and earth, everything has its own self, even if it is within the way of heaven, is it possible to distinguish between you and me?" What kind of cause and effect, following this path is the best policy. ”
Seeing the two arguing, Yuding also talked about his experience leisurely on the side:
"There is no absolute relationship between the self and cause and effect, the self can be lost, and good and evil can also be lost, otherwise no matter how much the Tao is cultivated, it will be standing still."
The three of you say a sentence to me, very happy, everything in the peace of mind array depends on personal understanding, the three of them have their own understanding, and naturally everyone understands something different.
When the virtual images saw this scene, they all nodded slightly, and said in unison: "Good, since you have realized this truth, this time to enter the battle, it is worth it." ”
Immediately, the virtual image disappeared, and only three people were left in the peace array.
Taiyi was satisfied:
"Although there is no breakthrough, this time it is quite rewarding."

In Chaoge City, Jiang Ziya sold noodles and meat, and finally embarked on the right path of selling hexagrams after losing a lot of money.
Although selling hexagrams will not make a lot of money, it is finally temporarily free from the word "useless".
Jiang Ziya liked this a little, and gradually got used to this dull day.
Of course, I just don't know why, every time I count a hexagram, I always think of the days when Kunlun learned the Tao.......
