Chapter 195: What is the Tao?

When the elder who gave the lecture saw Ying Liyue's attitude, he immediately felt a lot more joy in his heart, he liked this kind of student who was willing to listen carefully and draw inferences from others.

Otherwise, the presence of these teachers would not be an ornament, but it is very difficult to do this, and it is quite remarkable that many people can do it step by step and learn from most people.

There are many things that immortal cultivators need to learn, they need to understand what they want to understand in the mortal world, and they also need to understand what they don't understand in the mortal world, and they must constantly exude their own thinking, do something that their predecessors can't do, and create their own avenue, which is what others can't, this is the way of cultivation.

However, there are very few people who can understand this truth, and many people always think that the things of the ancient period are the best, and the powerful exercises left over from the past are what people are pursuing, but in fact they are not.

They will never reflect on the fact that their predecessors were able to create such powerful exercises, what have you created on the basis of the exercises of your predecessors?

Why can't you be stronger than your predecessors?

Maybe they reflected, but they couldn't.

Therefore, in the opinion of the elder, it is better to have a fast brain and be willing to try boldly, even if it fails, than to do nothing.

"Since everyone is asking questions, based on the reason for the discussion, I will also ask you a question, what is the Tao?" After the elder finished speaking, his gaze stayed on a few of his favorite students.

These people are all performing well, and Ying Liyue is one of those who has been given special care.

At this time, she also thought, what is the Tao?

In fact, she hadn't thought about this question, and she had never asked Shizun such a question before, perhaps because she didn't need to ask, or there was no answer to such a question.

At this time, a man sitting in the corner stood up: "Back to the elder's words, the disciple thinks that cultivation is for immortality, endure what ordinary people can't endure, and when others are still happy, they must learn all kinds of things for cultivating immortals, and when others can enjoy life wantonly, they must abide by their duties, be strict with themselves, and not be blinded by foreign objects in this flowery world, and be able to calm down and continue to strengthen themselves." ”

"In the end, when others turn into a handful of loess, stand at the top of this world, and when other people's ancestors have died for generations, you can still live, this is victory. ”

"So your way is immortal?" the elder asked.

The male disciple hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "That's right, Changsheng." I am cultivating for the sake of immortality, and when I was still very weak, I saw the death of countless people, and this year I am sixty, my parents and elders are gone, and the children who used to play with me are all dying, and the last time I returned home from the experience to visit my relatives, my disciples saw them, although the children and grandchildren were full, but they were not happy. ”

"Maybe for them it is the happy life they are seeking, but for the disciples, it is not, because they also have troubles, although immortal cultivators have many troubles and can't enjoy too many things, can mortals enjoy them?"

"Since you can't enjoy it, you will have troubles, so why limit your life to just a few decades. ”

The male disciple's eyes were firm, and it was obvious that he had considered this question in the past.

"Seeking immortality is also a way of cultivation, since you have strengthened your Dao heart, then you must persist no matter whether it is right or wrong, once the Dao heart is shaken, everything you thought you had worked hard before may collapse in an instant, and it is not impossible to go mad at that time. The elder encouraged.

There is no complete right path on the cultivation path, but there is no complete error either, it can only be said that the current Taoist system is the safest path that most of the predecessors studied at the cost of their lives.

What is missing is the strongest, but the error rate is definitely the lowest, which is why many people are reluctant to go sideways.

Sometimes the sword will have a surprise effect, but most of the time it is most likely to be dead.

Continue to dig the pit according to the path that the people before us, sometimes it may be the same, maybe not too outstanding, but the safety can undoubtedly be guaranteed.

That's what most people are doing today.

And those who are willing to go off the rails are either real wizards or forced to be helpless.

"Girl, what about yours?" the elder looked at Ying Liyue and asked.

"I don't know. Ying Liyue didn't hesitate too much.

"Then how did you get on the path of cultivation?" the elder asked again.

"Because of the master. Ying Liyue didn't hide these things: "Since I have a memory, I was in front of the master, he is a cultivator, I naturally embarked on this road, there is nothing I want to think about, I just feel that it should be like this, as for what the elder said, I haven't thought about this question before, but I think it should be so that I don't leave too many regrets." ”

"Mortals have all kinds of helplessness, birth, old age, sickness and death, and there are many things they want to do that they are completely incapable of doing, and the same is true for immortal cultivators, as the senior brother said, mortals are unhappy, and the same is true for immortal cultivators. ”

"But one thing is certain, the helplessness of immortal cultivators will not be as many as those mortals, of course, this is just a feeling, I don't know if it's correct, and I don't know if this is what I think in my heart. ”

"But I can be sure of one thing, immortal cultivators stand tall and see far away, and many magnificent and ups and downs of life are completely unimaginable to those mortals, they are forever confined to a small piece of sky. ”

"Or ignorance is also a kind of happiness, but I don't think I need that kind of happiness, or the reason why people think that ignorance is a blessing is because they haven't seen the immortal cultivation world that makes people's hearts surge, if they know this magnificent mountain and river, the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, I'm afraid they won't feel that ignorance is a blessing. ”

“......”

Ying Liyue's words made the others stop, and so did the elders.

What he can bring to everyone may not be the right path, so when it comes to preaching, it is actually just teaching some basic things that everyone is prone to fall, so as to teach a large number of disciples who are exactly the same.

Of course, in the world of cultivating immortals, they prefer to call this kind of thing inheritance, call it Dao system.

But in fact, most of the disciples who come out step by step are the same, you will and I will too, and the competition of fighting methods depends entirely on your use of exercises and moves, as well as whether your net worth is rich or not.

If there are enough magic weapons, then dragging the opponent to death is the key factor in the victory.

In fact, the elders also have times when they are confused and make mistakes, so although it is a lecture, it is more like a discussion, and everyone works together to become stronger together.

Sometimes some of the students' words will also make the elders who give lectures pause and break through the shackles of many years.

Of course, this is rarely the case.
