Chapter 37 Answering the Question
Gai Jiuyou thought to himself that if he was a mortal body, could he reach the realm of this one and achieve the results of this one?
It's hard, it's almost impossible!
Gai Jiuyou gave the answer in his heart, which also proved more and more that this person is against the sky.
As for knowing the identity of this person, it is because the ruthless man is telling about various physiques, returning all the ways to the source and integrating them into one way.
When she reached the realm of Gai Jiuyou, she could naturally hear where what this person was talking about, which was what this person had personally practiced, devouring the origin of the major physiques and turning them into her own body, so she could speak the various physiques so clearly, and also knew how to fuse them into one.
Of course, this one doesn't have to do that anymore!
Moreover, when this person was preaching, a Great Dao Treasure Bottle exuding demonic qi was suspended above his head, and that demonic treasure bottle was also shocked by Gai Jiuyou.
This is definitely the top existence among the Emperors!
Others also guessed the origin of this person, and they were all shocked, the legendary ruthless emperor is still in the world, and even still perfect, standing at the top of the extreme path.
Although surprised, everyone was listening carefully to the empress's preaching, especially Jiang Taixu, Ji Haoyue and other god king bodies, the empress had accommodated the origin of the god king body, and had a deep understanding of the god king body, and the content of the lecture was of great use to them, this is an emperor's perception of the god king body, how many times can the world hear it?
The ruthless man did not directly speak her own Tao, but her Tao was already in the content, swallowing all things, growing herself, fading the old into the new, and living forever in the red dust!
Xu Qian invited ruthless people, Qingdi and others to come to discuss the Tao, naturally it can't just talk, otherwise it is not called "talking about the Tao", it can only be called "preaching"!
Commenting, analyzing, discussing, communicating, and explaining things, discussing the Tao itself is also to express their understanding of the Tao, exchange and discuss each other's thoughts, point out the advantages and disadvantages, and diverge their thoughts.
Therefore, after the ruthless man finished speaking, he entered the first discourse, questioning, questioning, and expounding his own ideas, and Xu Qian did not set any restrictions, and everyone could participate here.
So a monk boldly said: "The predecessors said that if you can understand yourself thoroughly and accurately control it to the subtleties, you can maintain the so-called self-state unchanged and achieve immortality in the flesh, but ......"
The monk changed his words and asked his question, "The ancient saints, and even the supreme of the Extreme Dao, are few who have made their physical bodies last forever in the world, with the intention of their predecessors, have they not understood themselves thoroughly and controlled them to the subtleties?" ”
Yes, what kind of realm are the ancient saints and the extreme path supreme, especially the extreme path supreme, their path has reached the extreme, and the excavation of themselves has definitely reached the extreme depth, if they do not fully understand themselves and control themselves to the subtlety, how is it possible?
It can be said that their physical bodies do not last forever, they do not understand themselves thoroughly, many monks do not agree with this statement, the Extreme Dao Supreme is the existence of the pinnacle of their monks' path!
Xu Qian smiled: "This is a good question, but if I have to talk about it, they really haven't fully understood themselves." The root of the physique, as has been said by the ruthless Daoyou, is the origin, and the origin of each physique is different, so it also creates a distinction between superior and inferior. But have you ever wondered what the origin is, and why is the origin different? ”
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Xu Qian had already asked and answered himself: "This question, presumably many monks have not thought about it, they only think that those physiques are born like this, and they have not studied it deeply. But according to my superficial research up to now, the origin of the constitution is the Tao, or the ubiquitous Tao patterns in the world. ”
"Everything in the world contains the Tao, and it is also formed under the Tao, and the same is true of the physique, the stronger the physique constitutes its texture of the Tao and the stronger the traces of the Dao. But that's not what I'm going to talk about! ”
Xu Qian's turn made many people stunned, you don't want to talk about this, what are you doing so much? I only heard Xu Qian say again: "Didn't you find a problem, the stronger the physique, the greater the difference between it and ordinary people?" ”
What kind of problem is this, is it not normal? Many people thought in their hearts, and many people had already reacted and understood what Xu Qian wanted to say.
Xu Qian said with a smile: "It seems that some people have already thought, that's right, after the monks embarked on the path of cultivation, they gradually developed in the direction of extraordinary, the more advanced the monks, the higher their extraordinary degree, and the greater the difference from mortals. ”
"When you are in the Wheel Sea Realm, you can still be regarded as a ninety percent mortal, and when you reach the Dao Palace Realm, only seventy percent remains, and when you reach the four poles, there are less than thirty percent left...... When I finally arrived in Sendai, it was less than one percent, and it seemed to be the same as a mortal in terms of structure, but in fact, it was very different on the inside. ”
"And the reason for this difference is that your realm is elevated, so that you are constantly approaching the Dao, that is, when you ascend to the realm, the Dao patterns of the body become more and more complex and profound, and naturally change with it."
"As I said earlier, the higher the realm is raised, the greater the difference from mortals, and when it comes to the realm of saints or emperors, it can already be said to be a new being, and the complexity and subtlety of the body are far greater than mortals."
"So, they really knew and had complete control over their bodies? If you are completely in control, you will not be unable to control your own qi and blood. ”
"Of course, it is difficult for the Peak Emperor to be self-proclaimed, not only because of this, but the monks in the realm below the Great Emperor cannot live forever in the flesh, and they definitely don't know enough about themselves."
These words caused everyone present to think, including the ruthless man and the Qing Emperor, the ruthless man recalled the path she had passed, and she could live forever to this day, seemingly, as if it was ...... went through the process that Xu Qian said.
In the first life, she swallowed many physiques with the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill, which laid her in-depth understanding of the physiques, so that she could fade from her old body in the second life, incarnate into a divine fetus, and turn into a chaotic body.
With himself and others, the ruthless people think that what Xu Qian said is right!
Qingdi thinks differently from ruthless people, he has always thought that he has mastered his own understanding to the extreme, but now that he thinks about it, he really understands and masters himself thoroughly? He is an immortal green lotus who gave birth to spiritual wisdom and transformed into a human, but where did the body come from, and does it have another origin?
His understanding of the ontology is not thorough, if he has studied the ontology thoroughly, the ontology is an immortal green lotus, which is a thing that exists in the world forever, then he should be able to prosper in the flesh for a long time, but the fact is that his incarnate body will still be with the passage of time, and the life essence will gradually fail.
Even, Emperor Qing further thought that many immortal elixirs have ignorant spiritual wisdom, and this spiritual wisdom can last forever, if you can know the secret, can your own primordial spirit also last forever?
By then, the physical body and the primordial spirit will be immortal, won't they already be immortals in the world?
Emperor Qing had a thought, he really didn't seem to fully understand himself, especially the body after becoming an emperor, although he could control it, he didn't understand the fundamentals.
Emperor Qing thought about some things, first of all, the path he took after becoming an emperor was not to study his own body in order to seek immortality, but he dismembered himself, and his body was cast as an imperial soldier, leaving only a heart, and the Yuan Shen entered the Deserted Tower, in a vain attempt to open up an evolutionary immortal realm in the Deserted Tower to live forever, and he didn't care too much about his physical body at all.
Secondly, it is only more than 30,000 years since the Qing Emperor became an emperor, which is much shorter than the ruthless people who have been preaching for hundreds of thousands of years, and he has not achieved the same results as the ruthless people, which is actually very reasonable.
After answering this question, another monk asked: "The predecessor said, 'The reason why everything in the world exists and appears to be known to everyone is because of everyone's observation, and everything is uncertain, but it is only because of everyone's observation and perception that it has become the present result.'" ”
"What do you mean by our predecessors that everything in the world does not really exist, like we all exist because of others, and if there are no others, we would not exist?"
Xu Qian said: "This is just a statement, and it is not necessarily true, but how do you know that the world must be real, and it is not painted by a certain supreme being, a big dream or a splash of ink?"
"As for the absence of the others, you still exist......
Xu Qian looked at the questioner and asked rhetorically: "If in the world, you can only perceive yourself, but not other people and other things, do you think you exist or not?" ”
This rhetorical question......
The questioner was about to say, "I'm sure I still exist!" But thinking of the setting in the question, I swallowed back the words that came to my mouth, I can't perceive anything else, and I can't be known to others, except that I know myself, and it doesn't seem to be any different from not existing in the world.
However, most monks disagree with Xu Qian's words, how can the existence of "me" be defined by others? "I" exists because "I exist!" "I believe in my own existence! ”
Not only did he ask Xu Qian, but others were also asked, such as someone asked the Yellow Emperor: "The predecessors said that it is necessary to regulate the human body, so that the internal environment of the human body is in harmony with the external environment of the universe, and finally achieve the unity of heaven and man, synchronize with heaven and earth, so that the disasters caused by heaven and earth will no longer affect themselves, and from then on live with heaven and earth." ”
"But have the predecessors ever thought that heaven and earth will also have a day of decay, and at that time, even if heaven and man are united, will we not also perish?"
This is indeed a problem, the unity of heaven and man, and the same life with the heavens, can avoid the many calamities of heaven and earth, but what if it is the calamity that even heaven and earth will be destroyed? How can I avoid it?
Like the water of the sea, it can overturn a huge ship and drown a city, but if it becomes a part of the sea, it will be difficult for the wind and waves of the sea to affect itself, but if someone evaporates from the outside and destroys the sea......
Hearing this question, the Yellow Emperor did not answer and asked: "What do you think of 'heaven and earth'?" ”
The questioner wonders if this is not obvious?
Heaven and earth are the world and the universe where they are now!
What is the point of asking?
Without waiting for the questioner to answer, the Yellow Emperor asked again: "Do you think the 'heaven and earth' is this universe or the fairy realm?" ”
Hearing this, some people have already understood that the "heaven and earth" mentioned by this person is not limited to this universe, nor is it just a fairy realm, but a deeper and broader concept.
Both the universe and the fairy realm are only a part of this concept of "heaven and earth", they are a part of "heaven and earth", not the whole of "heaven and earth".
Therefore, the answer to this question is self-evident, if the "heaven" that you are united with by the unity of heaven and man will be destroyed, then this "heaven" must not be the real "heaven and earth".
We should not pursue a partial and limited heaven and earth, but a fundamental and complete true heaven and earth, which can be combined to prevent all catastrophes and laws, and to live with it can we survive forever and perish.
This is after discussing the Tao with Xu Qian, after listening to Xu Qian's exposition of the "fundamental way", the Yellow Emperor pondered and filled in the way he walked.
The Yellow Emperor said: "Before our realm, before the immortal realm, there must be the original and most primordial realm, because it existed in the world first, and then there was the evolution of the immortal realm and our realm. What I am talking about is the unity of heaven and man, which is in harmony with the primordial heaven, not with my realm and the fairy realm. ”
"Of course, this is not to say that we don't need to be in harmony with our realm and the fairy realm, but we must be clear about our ultimate goal, and the union with my realm and the immortal realm is a process of pursuing the unity with the primordial heaven, so that we can continue to approach the primordial heaven, because our realm and the immortal realm all evolved from the primordial heaven, and they have some of the characteristics of the primordial heaven."
The Yellow Emperor's way of the unity of heaven and man sounds similar to the way Xu Qian seeks, which is actually due to the fact that although the methods of seeking the Tao are different, the real Tao itself is unchanged, so although the road is different, the Tao is the same.
Just like doing an arithmetic problem, the answer to the arithmetic problem is unique, so whether you use a calculator, an abacus, or hand arithmetic, or mental arithmetic, the final result will be the same.
The Yellow Emperor's unity of heaven and man and the way of Xu Qian are analogous to the exposition and interception of teachings in the flood wilderness:
The way of Xu Qian is to study all kinds of things and phenomena in the world, recognize the fundamental principles of these things and phenomena, these "principles" are also "Tao", recognize them, and then try to use them to achieve their own goals; However, the Yellow Emperor's unity of heaven and man is not the same in terms of performance, he is constantly approaching the "Dao", and finally mixing with the "Dao" and coexisting with it.
Therefore, if Xu Qian and the Yellow Emperor were allowed to establish a religion by means of the order of "expounding the teaching" and "intercepting the teaching", then Xu Qianli's teaching should be "Zhijiao", and the Yellow Emperor's teaching should be called "joint teaching".
After the Yellow Emperor finished speaking, no one understood that the unity of heaven and man in this place originally pointed to the most fundamental heaven, the most primordial heaven, rather than a random world, and naturally there was no question asked by the questioner.
It's just that this Tao is easy to hear, but it is difficult to do, the Origin Heaven is definitely higher and unfathomable than the Immortal Realm, they haven't even tasted the Immortal Realm, let alone the Origin of the Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds.
Some people also asked the Qingdi: "The way of creation and derivation that the emperor talked about, a little bit of incarnation of living beings, opening up the world, this point of incarnation of living beings, the younger generation can still understand, creation is something out of nothing, shaping and creating spirits, can open up the world, make soldiers and cast blades can also be linked to creation?" ”
This question was very unlevel, but the Qing Emperor still answered it, and he smiled: "When does creation only refer to the transformation of living beings? Let me ask you, when the heavens and the earth are not yet opened or when they are first opened, can there be living beings and non-living beings in the world, and there are birds and beasts, insects, birds, ponds, fish, and stubborn stones, gold and iron? ”
The person who asked the question thought for a moment and replied honestly, "No! ”
According to the legend of the origin of the birth of the world, at the beginning, all things did not exist, or at that time, all things were still a whole, and they were not divided into each other, so naturally there would be no distinction between living beings and non-living beings, insects, fish, birds and beasts, and gold, iron, sand and stones!
