Volume 4: The Year of the Curtain Chapter 75 In Those Years, We Rebelled Against the Sky Together (II)
. How to defeat Haotian and how to be as strong as you seem to have nothing to do with it.
But in Ning Que's opinion, a cultivator must at least be as strong as the master in order to be qualified to speak against the heavens and to explore those profound and difficult questions.
It is certainly difficult to simply imitate or learn from the Master, but you can ask for advice, just like the little uncle back then, and you can avoid some detours.
"Some people say that living is a practice, although it smells sour, but it is true, because the longer you live, the higher your cultivation will be, and my cultivation qualifications are also very ordinary, that is, the number of years you live longer. ”
The master said, "How can I be as strong as me? You have to live as long as you can, and the longer you live, the higher your realm will be, and the longer you will live, and so on. ”
Ning Que said: "Teacher, what you said is equivalent to not saying it. ”
The Master said, "That's what I did, so that's all I can say." ”
Ning Que looked at the wrinkles on the teacher's face, his heart moved slightly, and asked, "Teacher...... You are the most powerful person in the world, you can fly on the clouds, almost immortal, if strictly speaking, you are not only not an ordinary person, but even beyond the scope of human beings, you can enjoy the time in a calm and low-key silence like a drunkard and a butcher, why do you have to defy the sky? For the sake of the world?"
"First of all, we need to clarify a truth. If the world is monotonous, repetitive, finite and uninteresting, then if you live long enough. The more boring you will be, only the infinite world can bring infinite fun, I have seen all the scenery in the world, eat all the delicious food in the world, I have lived very boring in the world of Haotian, so I naturally want to break out of the sky and see other scenery. This has been said before. ”
The Master said, "Secondly, you said that I am beyond the scope of human beings, and I should not be in the mood to find a new paradise on behalf of the human world and satisfy the curiosity of human beings...... Many years ago. I also wondered if I could still be a human being, in order to determine this. I did one thing. ”
"What's the matter?" Ning Que asked.
The Master said: "I took a bite of human flesh and found it very unpalatable, or more precisely, I was so sick that I kept vomiting and even vomited out the water in my stomach and intestines. ”
Ning Que lowered his head and said, "Human flesh is indeed not delicious, but what does this have to do with your doubts?"
The master said: "The old scalper likes to eat peony fish, and the big black horse likes to eat mutton, but the old ox never eats beef, and I believe that the big black horse will not eat horse meat." Because the old ox is a cow, the big black horse is a horse, and I am interested in trying every qiē meat in the world, except for human flesh, just because I am a human being. ”
It's a simple argument that doesn't make much sense. But imbued with the power of intuition, there is no room for question.
The master said, "Since I am still a human being, living in the world, of course I have to do personnel. Many people in the Dao Sect are different, they think they are the people of Haotian, and they only stay in the world for a short time. Eventually, they will return to Haotian's embrace, so they are walking the way of heaven, and this is the difference between me and them. ”
At this time, the black carriage had already arrived at the academy, and among the blue meadows, heat-resistant flowers and trees were in full bloom, and the scenery looked very beautiful, and the back mountains in the fog could be faintly seen.
The master had no intention of returning to the mountain behind the academy, and let the big dark horse continue to move forward.
Ning Que breathed a long sigh of relief and laughed happily.
The master looked at him and asked, "What is it that makes you so happy?"
Ning Que waved his hand again and again, without explanation.
The reason why he was happy was because the master did not return to the academy. If he didn't return to the academy, he wouldn't say goodbye to the disciples in the back mountain, which meant that what he was most worried about wouldn't happen.
The black carriage headed north.
The conversation between Ning Que and his master continued.
"You're already so strong, why can't you defeat Haotian?"
"As I said, this is Haotian's world, it is the rules of the world, and cultivators who cross the five realms can have their own rules, but those rules are always under the rules of the world's primordial nature. ”
The Master said, "Every flower, grass, tree, tree, smile, and thought in this world is under its gaze, and even cause and effect cannot escape its calculations. For example, Liansheng thought that he could jump out of the Three Realms, but in fact, he was always in this mountain,"
Saying this, the master glanced at Ning Que's waist, then at Sangsang, and said: "As for me, although I can ignore the rules of Haotian and be undisciplined, I can't transcend the cause and effect that the Buddha said, cause and effect is the order in which things happen, and the order in which things happen is time, and time represents a qiē. ”
"In this world, Haotian knows everything, so it can do everything, it can calculate and arrange everything, but we can't predict and avoid it in advance, this is the so-called unpredictable providence, providence is inviolable. ”
Ning Que asked, "Since Haotian is omnipotent, why is there no way to kill you?"
"Of course it tried, thunder and lightning, torrential rain, the howling sea, and the wrath of heaven I had seen in my life probably more than all the cultivators had ever encountered combined. ”
The Master said, "But I am a fast runner." ”
After saying this, the master waved his sleeves lightly, and the vitality of heaven and earth around the black carriage changed slightly.
Ning Que's perception was already extremely keen, and now that he had advanced to the realm of knowing his fate, it was difficult to hide the slightest change in the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi from him, and he instantly noticed that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was divided into many layers, and between the two layers, there was an extremely faint and smooth space.
"The human world is covered by the vitality of heaven and earth, and the vitality of heaven and earth has its own layer. Probably because this world is distorted, there are also some distorted passages in these vitality layers, which can make people reach thousands of miles away in an instant. ”
The Master said.
Ning Que said: "This is Wuyuan?"
The master said: "Yes, if you advance to the realm of no distance, Haotian wants to kill you, it will become more difficult, the problem is that you can't always escape, otherwise you will die of exhaustion, so you still have to think of some other way." ”
"I said that I have no other strengths except to live longer, but it is precisely because I have lived long enough that my realm is getting higher and higher, so high that there is no former to learn, I can only explore by myself, but fortunately, I still found some means, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find me. ”
"I gave up this body, didn't jump outside the Three Realms, went straight to the world, and fused myself with the world, Haotian wants to kill me, he wants to destroy this world, but it is the rule of this world, the world does not exist, it will destroy it, so it can only find a way to find me and invite me to fight in heaven. ”
"It's a very dangerous way because it can find me if it finds a part of me, but it's also the safest way because I'm everywhere, and as long as I don't show up, it will never find me. ”
Ning Que thought for a long time, and then said, "Although I still don't understand, I feel very powerful." ”
......
......
The black carriage came to the shore of Surabaya.
The willows are green, and the houses on the other side are quite new.
Ning Que and Sang Sang sat beside their master, sheltering the sun through the willows, watching the scenery, and resting for a while.
The story of Haotian and the master is finished, but there is a very important role that has never been mentioned.
Ning Que asked, "What kind of existence is the Hades King?"
The Master said, "There is no Hades. ”
Ning Que was stunned, turned his head to look at the teacher, and repeated, "There is no Hades?"
The master said, "I have been to many places and seen many landscapes, but I have never seen the underworld, and since there is no underworld, there is naturally no Hades. ”
Ning Que's thoughts were a little confused, and he said: "How can there be no Hades King? The Underworld is not going to invade the human world? In the Buddha Light Array of the Rotten Ke Temple, the Buddha left so many magic weapons, isn't it just to deal with the Hades King?"
The master said: "What the Buddha wanted to suppress was the Hades King that he thought he was, and in this sense, his response before Nirvana did make sense, but he didn't know who the Hades King was in the end. ”
Ning Que became more and more incomprehensible, pointed to Sang Sang, who was picking willow branches and weaving gadgets, and said, "She is the daughter of the Hades King, if there is no Hades King, how can there be her?"
The master turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Idiot, it's been now, do you really not understand, or have you always been unwilling to think in that direction?"
The teacher's smile was very gentle, and the expression in his eyes was very peaceful, but Ning Que's mood suddenly tightened, his eyelids began to jump non-stop, and his legs became as soft as willow branches, as if they were about to be paralyzed.
Countless sweat poured out from every part of his body like a pulp, instantly wetting the black academy uniform on his body, and the Haoran Qi in his body showed signs of collapse because of the extreme nervousness of his feelings.
Ning Que felt that his mouth was dry, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound.
The master looked at Sangsang, who was weaving willow branches, rubbed her head, and said, "Don't forget that before she became the daughter of the Hades who was hunted down by the world, she was the daughter of light. ”
Sangsang raised his head and looked at the master, not understanding what he was talking about.
"Actually, she has always been the daughter of light. ”
The master patted Ning Que on the shoulder and said calmly: "In other words, she is Haotian's daughter, she is Haotian's doppelganger, and even you can understand that she is Haotian." ”
Sang Sang understood this sentence and couldn't understand it, but he felt inexplicably uneasy, and his little face suddenly became extremely pale, even whiter than the fat powder of the Chen Kum Kee family that was rubbed on his face.
Ning Que's face was paler than hers, and he was finally able to speak at this time, his voice was extremely dry and hoarse, and he trembled very much: "But they all say that she is the daughter of the Hades King." ”
The master said: "I have said many times that there is no underworld, and naturally there is no Hades, and if you have to say that there is, as the Buddha thought, then Haotian is the Hades." ”
Ning Que lowered his head, buried himself between his knees, and said, "This doesn't make sense. ”
This is the simplest and most simple truth, even a child who is new to school can understand it. Actually, I should have figured it out a long time ago, but the truth is too simple. ”
"Absolute light is absolute darkness......"
The master's gaze fell on the clear blue sky through the willow branches, and praised: "The road is simple. ”
......
...... Your support is my biggest motivation.) ).
