Hua Lanting and Lin Xian were shocked to live in the same room, and tonight they were a little restless and sleepless for no reason, so they got up in their clothes and came to the terrace outside the house to make a pot of wine and sit down to enjoy the snow.

The night outside was dark, and the snow was flying, Lin Xian said in surprise: "The weather here is a little strange, I wanted to make a hexagram to divinate the good luck and evil of this trip, but the hexagram is messy and difficult to form, and this situation rarely occurs." Hua Lanting also said when he heard this: "Yes, I can't settle down, there is something strange here." ”

Just when the two of them were silently looking at the sky, there was a knock on the door next to them, and Yi Liunian and Zhuge Yun also came out, "If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a cup?" Yi Liunian said loudly: "The two of you are so Yaxing, but you don't call us, it's not interesting enough." ”

Lin Xian replied in surprise: "The deep mountains are lonely, and you drink alone on a snowy night, what a meaningful thing, you don't have to spoil the scenery, but you just play the piano to the cow." ”

Yi Liunian's face darkened: "Niu beg, do you play the piano?" If you play so badly, Niu didn't say anything, and only those who play the piano to Niu are sick. ”

"Hahaha!" Hua Lanting said with a smile: "Zhuge said, is it more painful for cattle or people to play the piano to the cow?"

Zhuge Yun answered expressionlessly: "Qin is the most painful." ”

"I'm the most painful!" Mu Qiyan's voice sounded behind him, and the four of them looked back, but it was Mu Qiwan and Yiyun who led the four girls of Feng Qingjun over.

Mu Qiwan grimaced and then reprimanded: "It's you boys who don't sleep in the middle of the night, and your voice is still so loud, don't you know that Taoism pays the most attention to health preservation? Haven't you heard that a disciple of a sect surnamed Zhao recently stayed up late and drank too much and died suddenly? How did I teach you these useless things?"

Yi Liunian licked his face and said: "Manager Mu, I don't allow you to say this about yourself, everything you teach is useful?" Speaking of staying up late, then I sincerely advise everyone here, in order not to die suddenly, don't be surnamed Zhao!"

Mu Qitian also smiled after hearing this: "Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense, just use you, go and order a few plates of beef, pour me a glass of wine, tonight will be a supper dinner before the experience." ”

Yi Liunian hit the snake with the stick: "Mu Lao, I think you should add a word of invitation, so that it looks polite." ”

Mu Qiwan kicked him weakly: "Be polite to you, hurry up and invite me beef and old wine, so it's okay?"

"Well, well, I'll treat you, as long as you check out, it's fine. Yi Liunian went down to order food.

Everyone then sat down, after the wine and food were ready, the men pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and the women drank and whispered, and then they heard Hua Lanting suddenly ask Mu Qitian: "You just talked about health preservation, but we are restless here, it is difficult to settle down and cultivate, and it is difficult to sleep and rest, how should we raise it in this life?"

Mu Qiwei thought for a while and replied, "Your question is a bit big, I'll try to answer part of it first." ”

"First of all, you can't sleep, it's nothing more than three situations, one is immersed in the troubles of the past, the other is trapped in delusions about the future, and the third is that there are external forces that affect your mind. “

"In either case, in fact, you are struggling with yourself, in an uncomfortable state, your soul consciousness is not in harmony with your life body at the moment, or your heart feels that you should fall asleep and expect to fall asleep on the one hand, but on the other hand, your body is affected by the mixed thoughts in reality and cannot enter the state of sleep at this moment, to put it bluntly, it is all your own trouble. ”

"No one in this world can hurt you, and the one who really stabbed you is yourself. ”

"Of course, this is because you haven't cultivated to a state of freedom, and neither do I, because freedom is the ultimate goal that our cultivators pursue, and perhaps there are even higher goals on top of this, which is not something you and I can imagine at this stage. ”

"But as far as health care is concerned, there is a shallow state that ordinary people should also experience, that is, the state of falling asleep but not falling asleep, as if you have entered a dream, but you can hear the people next to you talking. “

"This is a critical point, and if you keep that critical point state, you will be able to communicate with heaven and earth, absorb energy and accumulate strength from all things in the world, and then release it with certain methods and techniques, which will be manifested as the role of exercises, supernatural powers, and martial arts. ”

"And this world is composed of different life forms, information exchange methods, and a variety of matter and energy, which gives rise to different cultivation methods and factions. ”

Yi Liunian interjected: "When I meditate or stand on a pile, I sometimes enter a state of sitting but not sitting, standing but not standing, waking up but not waking up, empty but not empty, and like urine and not urine, but I will soon get out again. ”

Mu Qiwan smiled and said: "The words are not rough, the truth is this, the longer you maintain the state, the deeper your skills, and the stronger your control over your mind and body." ”

Hua Lanting also asked: "Taoism believes in eternal life, emphasizing the physical body, and seeking freedom, while Buddhism believes in reincarnation, emphasizing minds, and seeking liberation." So which is more important, mental or physical?"

Mu Qitian replied: "It's still the same sentence, different paths are the same, all laws are one, just like a blind man touching an elephant, whether it is Taoism, Buddhism or demon road, demon way, ghost way, spiritual way, etc., everyone is just different in population form, different positions, different entry points and practice paths, maybe there is a superior, orderly, good and evil, good and evil, forming a competitive relationship, but in essence, they are all to pursue some form of eternal life." ”

Yi Liunian asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that good and evil are not mutually exclusive? Didn't we come here to destroy the people of the Demon Dao?"

Mu Qitian nodded and shook his head: "I can't quite give you the right answer." What I know is that this world is diverse, our plane is just a drop in the ocean, and the forms of life in the universe are immeasurable, and the life of human beings with colored bodies is a very small minority. “

"From the perspective of the origin of the universe, the great history, the great era, and the great pattern, everything is in a continuous cycle of becoming, dwelling, and bad, and from the perspective of the individual and the human being, the so-called heaven and earth are unkind and all things are used as dogs, and we are very sad, very pitiful, and very small, and we are forever manipulated and coerced by unknown laws and high-level life forms through concepts, emotions, desires, and so-called accidental events. But from the perspective of a cultivator, we are fortunate again, because the only way to control our own destiny is through cultivation, and not all lives have such opportunities. ”

"Taoism has a saying that it is not virtuous, that from different times, spaces and levels, right and wrong, good and evil, good and evil are all relative, and good and bad are all relative values at a certain level. “

"The so-called good has no near name, and there is no near punishment for evil, and the source governor thinks it. That is to say, follow the middle way, take the basic value judgment as the criterion, and do not go too far and not go out of line. “

Therefore, wine, wealth, and a degree of health can be maintained, and greed, hatred, ignorance, and slowness, and asanga are Bodhi. ”

"But there is a verse where if you do too much good and if you do too bad, you will be punished for being dangerous. ”

"In the view of our sect of Taoism, the righteous path is to enlighten people's good thoughts and rationality, so that people can practice voluntarily, freely, and without conditions, while the evil path is to lead people to the Tao by stimulating greedy desires and temptation and coercion. “

The two philosophies are different and opposite, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and the prevalence of evil ways will inevitably compress the living space of the righteous way, so struggle is inevitable. ”

"If you think that the way of heaven is ruthless and the survival of the fittest is the norm, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, it's the norm for all factions to coexist and fight each other, in that case, in the case of limited resources, any path you choose to preach will be in conflict with other parties, especially opposing parties. “

"If you don't think that's the norm, whether you want to be a family and be alone or just want to live in harmony and be fine, but in the reality of biodiversity, there are always people who don't think so, so you still can't avoid fighting. ”

As for which is more important, the spirit or the body, it's just a different emphasis. “

"Heaven represents all intangible things, and earth represents all tangible things, and under the relationship between each other, collision, communication, time and space, and the state of harmony between heaven and earth, through temporary docking, temporarily entrusts you with this physical image, which is not something you can have forever. ”

And the emotional memories represented by the spirit and the connections between us and all the sentient and unforgiving beings in the world can be continuously preserved in different ways as a carrier of information. From this point of view, the physical body is just a stinky skin, and Buddhism and Taoism all value the spirit of cultivation. ”

"But in the Taoist view, you can't control the body you have in this life, you can't control the substantial, material, and hard things, so how can you control the soft, spiritual, and immaterial things?"

Therefore, Taoists believe that their own body is a small miniature cosmic system ecology, so they emphasize the dual cultivation of life and the enlightenment of the physical body, and the physical body is the medium, Dharma process and means for us to enter the Tao. “

Therefore, Taoism does not emphasize spiritual cultivation, and our cultivation includes not only cultivating the physical body through exercises, but also increasing wisdom and vision through continuous experience. “

"When you can stand in different angles, different time and space to see all kinds of possibilities, and establish a multi-faceted and transparent perspective of front and back, left and right, up and down, inside and outside, short and long-term, you can no longer be entangled, you can be more comfortable, you can know that there is no should, all deserve it, and you can treat the impermanence and helplessness of the world with an impermanence and natural mentality. “

"There are rules in the game, but there are always loopholes in the game, the experience is transparent and natural, and everything is dispensable, only the party is indispensable, and there is nothing to do, this is the so-called all omissions are suffering, all actions are impermanent, and all laws are selfless. ”

Yi Liunian said: "Isn't this just pretending to be stupid when you should be stupid, and pretending to be stupid when you should be pretending to be coerced?"

Mu Qitian looked at him and replied: "Come on, as long as you continue to work hard to pretend, there is nothing you can't mess up." ”

Yi Liunian stuck out his tongue and said, "Isn't my interaction to enliven the atmosphere, and besides, what I said is not right?"

As he spoke, he looked around and asked Zhuge Yun: "Zhuge , how did you manage to stay calm and silent at all times?"

Zhuge Yun said coldly: "Because I never argue and quarrel with the brain-dead, I usually stop the conversation and then say to him: Well, you are right. ”

"But you're completely evading this? It doesn't make sense, you can't handle it like this. Yi Liunian argued.

"Well, you're right. Hua Lanting, Lin Xianjing and Zhuge Yun said in unison.

After everyone laughed, they digested Mu Qiwan's words for a while, and Feng Qingjun asked: "I understand a little bit about cultivation and experience, these will consume our inner and outer energy, including spiritual and physical, so how to maintain health and how to do it just now?"

Mu Qiwan smiled and said: "I am not taboo in meat and vegetarians, and when it comes to health preservation, you Yiyun Aunt has more right to speak." ”

Yiyun glanced at him and said, "I think you're afraid of delaying your drinking, so I'll tell the children about my experience." ”
