Chapter 8 There is no end to the road, and there is no end to Xu!
You can't blame the monks of this world, it's really that the conditions of this world are too superior, compared to the ordinary world, the power is too easy to obtain, and the situation of being able to obtain power so easily also makes the vast majority of monks not investigate the reasons behind the power, anyway, as long as you follow the steps and follow the path opened up by the predecessors, you can become stronger, what else do you think?
And the world's top powerhouses are too strong, and the exemplary and leading role they have caused is too far-reaching, even if there are latecomers who want to take other paths, but they can't even reach the realm of their predecessors, and they will naturally give birth to "I can't reach the height of my predecessors, how can I be qualified to question the path that my predecessors are taking?" Let's practice honestly. "Such thoughts.
And those who can reach the height of their predecessors have come to the end of the road, and they will soon see the other side of success (fairy land), and at this time tell them that there is actually another way to go, and there is no need to stumble on this road, let them change their path?
Unless you put a living example in front of them and prove it with facts, and in this world, no one has ever walked the path of cognition, there are no facts to prove, and people will change their path, and see if people call you with big ears.
Another reason is that although I have never seen anyone really become an immortal, and no one has ever really entered the fairy realm, there are immortal weapons in the world, and the existence of the immortal realm can indeed be perceived, and the immortal weapons and the immortal realm are showing one thing to the monks of this world - immortals are not false!
This is amazing, immortals are not false, not only give the monks of this world hope, but also give them confidence, proving the correctness of the path they are taking now, as long as they practice hard, it is possible to achieve the ultimate goal of immortals.
And if the path is right, why look for another way? Isn't there something wrong with your brain?
It's like a country that has done a good job of thermonuclear fusion, and now you're telling me that the unknown cold fusion transformation has a future, and you have to give up the technology that has been researched to be successful and start over?
I'm afraid that most people will not be willing, and the same is true for the monks of this world, their path has approached that of immortals, and they can all see the fruits of success, so why don't they continue to follow this path and dig a road with an uncertain future?
The monks are like a group of travelers looking for water in the desert, they have seen an oasis in front of them, full of attractive fruit trees, as long as they can reach it, they can quench their thirst, although the route is bumpy, but the goal is there, it is very clear, how can they abandon this oasis and think again to find an unknown source of water?
Even if there was a water source right under their feet, it would be impossible to dig it up with just two strokes, and a stable, accessible target would be more reliable than an unknown risk.
Lao Tzu and Shakyamuni were surprised by what Xu Qian said, and if they could cultivate their realm, the four of them would naturally not be ignorant, but they were limited by what they knew in the past and the inertia of thinking that they had cultivated for a long time, and they had never thought of these things before.
Now after listening to what Xu Qian said, after thinking about it, I feel that what he said is indeed feasible, and I can't help but realize that the original method of immortality is not only to practice to the extreme, enter the immortal realm, but also live forever in this life.
The earth monks also heard Xu Qian's words, and many monks who had come into contact with modern science were very surprised, some of the things this person was talking about were not those mortal sciences, but more profound than those of mortals.
This person seems to be very fond of mortal things, could it be that this person is following the path of mortals?
It shouldn't be possible, mortals have only been on the road for more than a hundred years, how can they compare with their monks?
Lao Tzu and the Yellow Emperor are also thinking about this problem.
If this one really walked this way, then the way he walked was completely different from theirs, and it was a different system, but this way could really be followed?
Lao Tzu asked, "Isn't the Taoist friend in this way?" ”
Xu Qian smiled and said: "Everyone can walk this way, Lao Tzu Taoist friends, Shakya Taoist friends, Yellow Emperor Taoist friends, Shennong Taoist friends, and all living beings in the world can go, this is not repulsive to practice." It's just that compared with boring penance, you need to observe more, learn more, and know more. ”
"This is the way of cognition, which believes that everything in the world can be known, if it cannot be known, it is just that knowledge has not arrived, and not knowing it today does not mean that it cannot be known tomorrow, even if it cannot be known tomorrow, it does not mean that the day after tomorrow cannot be ......."
Hearing these words, the four of Lao Tzu instantly understood Xu Qian's meaning, and also knew the difference between Xu Qian's way and theirs.
Glancing at the four of them, Xu Qian knew that they didn't understand it thoroughly, so he smiled and said, "What you are cultivating is 'Dao', and what I am cultivating is 'Reason', it should be said that I am seeking 'Reason'." ”
The four of them were immediately interested, and Shakyamuni said, "Dare to ask the donor, what is the difference between the two?" ”
Xu Qian said: "With all due respect, in Xu's eyes, the 'Dao' you have cultivated is not the real Dao, or it is only a part of the real Dao, and some appearances are not its roots. With the realm of a few Taoist friends, there is one thing you should know......"
The four of them were very curious about what was going on, so they only listened to Xu Qiandao: "In your understanding and understanding, 'Dao' can be modified and influenced, right?" ”
What's wrong with this, shouldn't it be taken for granted?
The Tao can be influenced, it can be modified, and it is basic common sense in their realm.
For example, the Tao of the Great Emperor can affect the entire universe and suppress other Dao, so in the presence of the current Great Emperor, it is impossible for others to preach.
Without waiting for the four of them to think deeply, Xu Qian smiled and said, "Have a few Daoists ever thought about a question, if the Dao can be easily modified and affected, is it still the real Dao?" ”
As soon as this question came out, the four of them were stunned, but they were not much surprised, but they really hadn't thought about this question before, and now listening to this one, it seems, it seems, it seems, it seems...... It does make some sense.
"What is the Tao?"
Xu Qian continued: "The Tao is the rule, the law, the principle of the composition of all things, the order of the establishment of time and space, the opening and unopening of heaven and earth, the existence and non-existence of all spirits, it is all there, it has no thoughts of its own, and it has no feelings. ”
Lao Tzu didn't expect this person to suddenly say a sentence from his "Tao Te Ching", but he probably understood what Xu Qian meant.
"The Tao is constant and unchanging, not changing because of people, not moving because of things, it is not only the original principle of all things, but also the ultimate principle of all things."
The other three also understood what Xu Qian meant, and there was only one key word - Dao Heng, the avenue will last forever and remain unchanged for eternity.
"Therefore, the 'Dao' that you have cultivated can be changed by people and things, Xu thinks that it is not the real Dao, and your 'Dao' is still changing, which means that the root of it has not yet been found."
Shennong said: "The meaning of the Taoist friend, I have understood, can be said by the Taoist friend, the 'Dao' we cultivate can be affected and changed, is it not yet found its root, then the Daoist you seek the 'Dao' has not changed, is already the root of the Dao?" ”
Xu Qian shook his head and smiled: "Naturally not, I have never felt that the 'Dao' that I have observed and recognized now is the real Dao, but I will continue to observe and recognize until I discover its roots." ”
"The sea of Tao is endless, and Xu is just a seeker looking for the truth in the sea of Dao, how dare he talk about finding the truth? Fang Cai said that I was seeking 'reason', which means that Xu wanted to seek the real 'truth'. ”
Hearing these words, the four of them understood the way Xu Qian was doing, and they couldn't help but be in awe, although the "Dao" they cultivated was not the real Dao, but he was not belittling them and using it to elevate himself, but pointed out the defects of their cultivation path, and this person himself admitted that the "Dao" he observed and recognized was not necessarily the real Dao?
But this is the Tao, how could the four of them be so convinced, and there is a big question involved, and they don't want to admit it: that is, if the "Tao" they are practicing is not the real Tao, then what are they cultivating all these years?
The Yellow Emperor, who didn't talk much, said: "According to what Taoist friends say, the Tao exists forever, and it is eternal and unchanging, not moving with the world, not changing with events, but the Tao should always have an origin, and at that origin, the Tao should not exist, right?" Dare to ask Daoyou, how can this be explained? ”
This question is quite wonderful, just like in modern understanding, the universe is the origin of a big bang, tens of billions of years ago, there was a point with infinitely small volume, infinite density, infinitely high temperature, and infinite curvature of space-time, called the singularity, it is this singularity that exploded, and the current universe was born, but the singularity Big Bang explained how the universe was born, and where did the singularity come from?
Continuing to assume, the singularity was created by an unknown god, but the question remains the same, where did this unknown god come from? One after the other, the matryoshka dolls can go on indefinitely.
The same can be said of the Yellow Emperor's question, you say that the real Tao exists forever and remains eternal, so where is its origin? There must be an origin, right?
The four of them and the rest of the earth monks all looked at Xu Qian, this was related to their cultivation path, because if Xu Qian's "fallacy and heresy" were allowed to spread, it would definitely make many monks shake their Dao hearts and doubt their own path.
In order not to shake his Dao heart, it is better that the heresy put forward by this person has been refuted!
But they heard an unexpected answer: "I don't know!" ”
Xu Qian said these four words very simply, without a little hesitation, he smiled: "Xu has already said that the avenue is endless, and Xu is just a seeker in the sea of Dao, maybe there is still a Tao outside the Dao that we know today, there are people outside the Dao, and there are things outside the people." ”
"But the Tao is endless, Xu's desire to seek the Tao is also infinite, if there is a Tao outside the road, there are people outside the road, and there are things outside the people, it is just a long and long-term search. There is no end to the road, and there is no end to Xu! ”
When some earth monks heard Xu Qian's answer, they were a little disapproving, this person didn't answer the question raised by the Yellow Emperor at all, and he obviously fell behind, but he was still stubborn.
But Lao Tzu's perception of the four people is different, this one has already answered, and it is a very beautiful answer, "There is no end to the road, and there is no end to Xu!" "Yes, if the Great Dao has an origin, then study its origin, and if there is an origin above the origin, then study it again......
If there is no end to the Tao, there is no end to my desire for the Tao!
The four of them had respect for Xu Qian, and Lao Tzu sighed: "The thought of Taoist friends, Lao Dao admires!" ”
Shakyamuni said: "Daoyou unseal Kunlun and do what is difficult for us to do, presumably Daoyou has gone far on the way of seeking, and the poor monk wants to ask for advice or two." ”
That's right, this person said that the way he walked, said those methods of immortality, then this person should have already achieved something, right?
Not to mention anything else, as long as it is confirmed that this person has not practiced like them, he has already attained immortality, and it will definitely be a major event that will shake the entire universe when he is released, and the forbidden area supreme will not be able to help but be born, and the history of cultivation will be divided into two pages from here.
Xu Qian understood what Shakyamuni meant, and it just so happened that he also wanted to see the strength of the peerless quasi-emperor in this world, and said with a smile: "But! ”
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qian followed Shakyamuni to a deserted star field, where there were no living beings to inhabit, and the place was spacious, just suitable for such an existence as them to start a war.
In order to prevent the battle movement from being noticed, Lao Tzu, the Yellow Emperor, and Shennong joined forces to set up a formation in the star field to cover the qi.
The Earth monks were quite sorry to see these five leave, it was definitely an unimaginable competition, but they had no chance to watch it.
In the starry sky, Xu Qian and Shakyamuni stood in a scattered meteorite belt, surrounded by a large number of meteorites.
Shakyamuni clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha!" The fierce Buddha light erupted, shining on this star field, the Buddha sound Zen chanting sounded, the ground swelled golden lotus, a huge Buddha rose, kind eyebrows, standing in the sea of stars, a palm clapped.
The giant palm covers the sky and the earth, and the entire starry sky is encompassed by it, and under this palm, there is no escape, and there is no escape.
Xu Qian stood in place, calmly looking at the giant palm of the Buddha that was slapped, and an unusually bright light erupted in his body, turning into a humanoid sun, and it was true, he was frantically carrying out fusion reactions, annihilation reactions, and dark reactions in his body.
The right arm was raised, and he slammed forward, and the endless light and heat converged into a giant sword.
In front of this giant sword, Xu Qian's figure was inferior to an ant, but the sword was held in his hand.
It was like an ant swinging a giant sword to kill a giant elephant, and the blazing giant sword fell on the Buddha's giant palm, Shakyamuni suddenly felt a special force clash with his giant palm, and instantly he reacted, that is the power of the sun, he has felt it many times when he traveled through the universe.
It's just that the power on the giant sword at this moment is much more terrifying than he felt, and the giant sword is still oscillating and changing the frequency when attacking, and then Shakyamuni saw that his Buddha's giant palm was cut off.
After cutting off the giant palm, the sword was still extending towards the starry sky, towards Shakyamuni, but Shakyamuni saw that the sword gradually dimmed during the extension and did not extend in front of him.
This made him very puzzled, but this was an opportunity, Shakyamuni decisively launched another attack, and the Buddha kingdom in his palm unfolded silently, unconsciously......
No, although he was shrouded in the Buddha Kingdom in his palm, he couldn't perceive its specific location, and he was clearly standing there with his eyes, just within the Buddha Kingdom in his palm, but he didn't have it in his perception.
Shakyamuni used a pupil technique, but he still couldn't perceive it, but it seemed to be just a shadow, so strange.
Since you can't perceive it, you don't perceive it, the Buddha's light is surging, and the golden dao patterns are densely covered in the void, intertwined with the patterns and reason, and they bombard the figure where it is.
But the fluctuations of the attack subsided, and Shakyamuni saw that the figure was standing there unscathed, and the surging Buddha light and the violent quasi-emperor pattern did not have the slightest effect on it.
At this moment, Shakyamuni had a warning that some attack was coming, but when he deduced it, he couldn't figure out where the attack would come from or in what form.
Suddenly, Shakyamuni felt a tingling pain in his eyebrows, stared at it, and at some point, Xu Qian stood in front of him, and a finger was pointed at the center of his eyebrows.
He would feel a tingling pain, and it was the force of his fingers that pierced his skin.
But how did this do it?
Although he is only an incarnation of him, he is also the incarnation of the peak quasi-emperor, with rough skin and thick flesh, and extraordinary perception, and the general quasi-emperor may not be able to do anything, and now he is so close to him, and he has broken the defense.
That is actually the relationship between the position of space and the position of space, Xu Qian modified the position of his own space, so that when he arrived at the place of Sakyamuni, he naturally got closer.
In a sense, it was Shakyamuni himself who came to Xu Qian, not Xu Qian's attack on him.
Shakyamuni had never seen such a method, of course, he didn't know how to defend himself, but he was also calm, admitting defeat and saying: "The realm of Taoist friends is lofty, but the poor monk has lost!" ”
