Chapter 174: The Danger of the Immortal Dao, the Predicament!
Gu Dan frowned, if everything is really as Qing Pingzi said, then the so-called immortal cultivation world is definitely not a supreme fairyland of harmony and beauty.
At least the top level can never be a paradise for you and me.
Knowing that one more enlightened person would cut off all the paths of cultivation, Gu Dan didn't dare to think about what would happen.
Noticing Gu Dan's face, Qing Pingzi said, "You thought of it—right?!" Mortals still have a saying, 'It's better to die than to live', and a martial arts master can live many years longer than ordinary mortals if he lives for more than 120 years! Not to mention that after you can continue to practice the Immortal Dao, Shou Yuan will rise with the improvement of the realm, even if the improvement is not too big, but it is also an improvement!
If there is another enlightened person, it will be a benefit for one person, and all the cultivators will be unlucky, and even end the immortal path! This threat is not limited to individuals at all, any sapient being, after embarking on the path of cultivation, has a great enemy, that is, any existence who wants to smash the pot! ”
Appalling!
It is reasonable to infer that, according to Qing Pingzi's statement, it is feared that there will never be any more enlightened people in the Immortal Dao - the cultivation path can no longer bear the burden that the next enlightened person will bring to sentient beings.
The fate of a person's enlightenment is not the ascension of chickens and dogs, but the sorrow of the whole world!
With all sentient beings who have no way out, in exchange for the transcendence of existence!
Under such circumstances, I am afraid that the closer a cultivator is to the end, the more he will attract the attention of all living beings!
Unless you can go all the way quietly and not be noticed by any being, it is possible to succeed secretly.
But judging from the fact that Ji Lao's impact will inherently attract trouble, the so-called sneakiness is almost impossible!
The last enlightened person has not yet appeared, but there are definitely people who have reached the top of the mountain, and they have put in place all kinds of measures to prevent this from happening.
Gu Dan can think of things that he can think of, how can those beings who have lived for thousands of years or even longer not think about it?
"According to you, isn't it true that all monks can only follow the rules, and after reaching their limits, they can wait for death quietly?" Gu Dan said with a frown.
"Hey, you're not wrong about that."
Qing Pingzi laughed, "Many people feel that they are the children of destiny and the last enlightened ones. In fact? Martial arts masters have to face qi and blood obstacles and the sympathy of the five elements, practicing qi, building foundations, Jindan, and Yuanying. How many can go down step by step between each realm?
Step by step? It sounds simple. In fact, there is a huge chasm between each realm, and that is the broken path that has been connected by the former existence! Of course, it will not be easy to break the road, and even if it continues, it will face great risks and tribulations! How many can really stand at the top?
There are thousands of martial artists in the world, and how many martial arts masters are there in one country? Of course, the path of martial arts is different from the path of immortals after all, it is the most ruthless pot that has been smashed, and it cannot be generalized. But the higher you go, the more difficult the Immortal Dao is exponentially increasing. Everyone hopes that they are the children of destiny, but after recognizing the reality, they can understand that it is not easy to be qualified to embark on this path. ”
Gu Dan listened silently, he didn't have any say in this regard, and the small piece of spirit stone he got at the beginning was not enough for him to get a glimpse of the demeanor of the Immortal Dao.
However, no matter how difficult the Immortal Dao is, if you use Infinite Shouyuan to cultivate, there should be no problem, right?
Qing Pingzi said so much, Gu was worried that he had actually believed seven or eight points - if this was really a big lie, then this lie was too deep, and it coincided with what he had experienced!
But there was one most important question he didn't ask.
"You said that once a path is reached to the extreme, then all practitioners will suffer. What would happen if someone was in the Grandmaster realm and continued to cultivate? Or maybe there are Qi cultivators who don't think about the realm of foundation building and golden pills, and blindly continue to practice according to the ancient method? ”
Gu Dan stared at Qing Pingzi without blinking, this question is very important, and it is directly related to the mystery of Ji Lao's fall!
When Ji Lao tried to impact the innate nature, the majestic Dao Yun that suddenly came almost killed him!
Gu Dan has always remembered this hatred.
"Continue to practice? The idea is beautiful. ”
Qing Pingzi shrugged his shoulders, not at all surprised that Gu Dan would ask this question, and immediately said, "Immortal—what is an immortal?" One person and one mountain are immortals! It's not the people on the mountain, it's the mountain that oppresses the people! Do you want to carry the mountain up? The result is that the higher you go, the higher the mountain!
Why is it that after the invincibility of the witch body, it is to practice qi? Is it because those Qi Refiners don't want to cultivate the physical body? Without him, it can't be repaired! If you practice hard, the more you move forward, the deeper the oppression will be! It is an indisputable fact that on this path, no one will ever surpass the first physical attainer, and all practitioners in the future will be adding strength to them! ”
"Oh?!"
The more Gu Dan listened, the more frightened he became, "What do you mean by adding strength to them?" Those who have attained enlightenment. Are they all still there? ”
Qing Pingzi didn't answer, but asked, "Have you ever seen a scale?" ”
"Of course I do."
Gu Dan affirmed.
Which shop doesn't have this thing? He's from a hospital!
"That's understandable. You can think of the monk as a scale, and the enlightened person is the rod that measures the scale, and the heavier the scale, the more the scale will be raised high, and it will never be possible to catch up with the scale in height. On the contrary, when the scale does not weigh a star and a half, the scale rod is the weakest! ”
Kiyoheiko continued: "The enlightened ones are gone, but the imprint of their enlightenment will remain, oppressing all the monks who come after them in all aspects. Every subsequent enlightened person, before they want to attain enlightenment, must do their best to slow down the weight of the weighing stone, otherwise they will not even be qualified to challenge the scale rod! ”
This analogy can be described as easy to understand.
When there is no weight in the scale, the scale rod can only be kept in a horizontal state at most, but once there is a scale, the scale rod will be pulled up!
But so it goes. In order to solve the weight of the scales, isn't that?!
Gu Dan's eyes shrank, and a great sense of crisis shrouded him!
"The monk himself has weight.
Since you have borrowed the path opened up by your predecessors, you will have to carry this weight, and at the same time, this weight will also become a stumbling block for those who aspire to be promoted to enlightenment. This is the way of immortals.
Even if you don't want to follow the path of your predecessors, you can't do it, the imprint has already been left, and you must climb it step by step, so that you can step on the back of your predecessors and open up a new path again, and strive to become the last one to attain enlightenment. Hah, isn't it ridiculous? ”
Qing Pingzi was clearly smiling, but his face showed sadness that was difficult to hide, "Everyone in the world seeks the good of immortals, but they don't know that the danger of immortals is far more than a hundred times that of ordinary people!" What's more! ”
"In other words, on a road, if you continue to break through, not only will there be no benefit, but you will find guilt for yourself?"
Gu Dan was a little cold.
Ji Lao has worked hard for most of his life, and he wants to let him see the "innate realm" at all costs, is it really just a flash?
According to Qing Pingzi, constantly running on a road is not a way out of the future, but a cliff to jump on the deathbed!
"Of course not."
Qing Pingzi shook his head again, and said unexpectedly: "The scale and the scale rod are just a description, just to make it easier for you to understand, where is the real avenue as simple as it says?" It is true that the scale will press the scale rod high, but the weight of the scale itself is not a kind of barrier?
This weight cannot be lifted endlessly, because the peaks are already there. However, if you can drill a hole in the mountain, you will be able to temporarily realize the existence of the 'weighing rod', which will be of great benefit to your future practice! It is an opportunity that countless people can't get, and its harvest may even be no less than the strength increase brought by breaking the realm!
That's a chance to face the avenue head-on! As long as you cross over and become an ant climbing the mountain, you can still look down on all the living beings under the mountain, what is the weight of a little weight? How can the weight of one person be compared to the weight of thousands of monks? But once you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to do it again! ”
"What does it mean to miss it and never have it again?"
Gu Dan asked again.
"There is a mountain in front of us, and this mountain is impregnable, and as time goes on, there will be some tiny holes in the mountain, which are so small that even ants can hardly get in, but there will be a chance. But the ants will also grow up, and even become another smaller mountain, and later peaks, how can they get into those holes? ”
Qing Pingzi said seriously: "You have to connect the things I said, these things are not isolated, but they are implicated in each other and are intricate. The monk represents the scale, and the influence of the enlightened person represents the weighing rod, but there is more than one weighing stone represented by the monk and the weighing rod facing him! Taking a step back means it's almost impossible to turn back!
The scales that other people need are iron, and if you have to use stones as iron scales, you will be beaten, right? ”
"Taught."
After pondering for a long time and finding that he couldn't find any flaws, Gu Dan said seriously.
Speaking of these things, Qing Pingzi has no more pretentiousness, no matter from the demeanor, tone, and emphasis, he can't find the slightest fault, even if he observes it carefully with his divine thoughts, it can be called flawless.
Even in order to make it easier for him to understand, Qingpingzi's metaphor was a little too vivid.
While smashing the pot, on the other hand, there are scales and scales, what kind of moths are being played in the special immortal cultivation world!
However, although what Qing Pingzi said was too shocking and completely overturned all the beautiful reveries of mortals about the immortal path, if he could say everything extremely reasonable and couldn't find fault, then there would be no problem.
"Huh."
Seeing Gu Dan's thanks, Qing Pingzi knew that Gu Dan had already listened, "That picture of the reflection of the divine soul is the evidence of what I said." ”
Qing Pingzi pointed to a picture on the mountain wall, which was the picture of the ascension of the Haoyue Blue Lotus.
Before, Gu Dan didn't know why the blue lotus soared and the moon shattered, and the ten thousand golden lotuses behind him all withered, and with Qing Pingzi's explanation, they were all able to match them one by one.
"I told you that knowing something is not necessarily a good thing for you, it just adds to your worries. The things I said are all facts, and even because the realm is not enough, it may not be enough for you to recognize the sinister in it.
Sometimes, if you don't know so clearly, who can say that it's not a blessing?
In this life, people come in ignorance, walk in a daze, wave their sleeves, and don't take away a cloud, isn't it a kind of free and easy?
Knowing too clearly, apart from making one's heart painful and no longer brave and diligent, what are the benefits? ”
Qing Pingzi sighed for a long time there, at this time he was not like a monk, but more like a poet, a scholar who was thinking about philosophy.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know, it's important to me if you don't know." Gu Dan said.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
He didn't have a chance to "let him flood when I die."
If you know these things in advance, you will be able to prepare in advance, and as for the courage and perseverance. That's the consideration of those who have a limited lifespan, and he can be responsible for peace and stability.
"What if you know?"
Qing Pingzi shook his head disappreciatively, these secrets sounded extremely amazing, and they could only be amazing.
is like a farmer who digs and eats in the land, and he can't wait to be hungry three times a day, is it difficult to care about how the emperor lives? Is the quality of life good?
Maybe the peasant didn't even want to live after knowing how poor and luxurious the emperor was!
"Then the question is, how do you know so much about the Immortal Dao, so clearly? Could it be that you have really seen an immortal? Gu Dan didn't let Qing Pingzi go.
Speaking of immortals, Qing Pingzi can be said to be like a treasure, and his words and logic are tightly matched, but he has never seen an immortal in this life.
Where did Qingpingzi know this knowledge? There has to be a way!
"Actually, it's easy to understand, theoretically, it's better that there is never the last enlightened person, and that's a good thing for all living beings, right?"
Qing Pingzi sorted out the wording, "Except for those creatures who have climbed to the top, and are even forging new paths—they have already raised the hammer in their hands and want to smash the pot.
It's like Emperor Zongming is the emperor and is still pursuing the immortal path. Those creatures who stand at the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao, which one is not extremely talented, amazingly talented, and even overwhelms the supreme of thousands of generations? Compared to them, Emperor Zong Ming is not even a hair, and their stubbornness and ideas are far more than that of Emperor Zong Ming!
If we think that we are children of destiny, it is probably an illusion, but for that kind of being, they are at the pinnacle of their own right, and they are only one step away from it—and there is still a chance to become the last enlightened one! Do you think there is room for compromise and negotiation in such matters? ”
Gu Dan shook his head slightly.
If the cultivation of immortals is compared to a game, then the "enlightened person" is the final winner, everything is eaten, and all living beings have to pay for it, in such a situation, who can believe it?
Don't you hide yourself like crazy, and then try your best to kill other competitors!
"Yes, those guys live at the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao, anyone can smash the pot, but except for the existence of the same level, no one can compete at all, so they can only think of some other way to block them
For example, spread the news so that some people with extraordinary talents can also know the inside story of the Immortal Dao! ”
Qing Pingzi looked at Gu Dan with a smile on his face.
