The demon said, "You mean that the Huang Ting Jing is a useless thing?"

The teacher replied, "No." "Huang Tingjing" is not useless, it is very useful. Most of the sentences in "Huang Ting Jing" are flickering, and the author still told the truth in "Huang Ting Jing", which is this sentence: "The solidity of the natural way of nothingness, the natural way of things is not annoying, the vertical arch is not for the body, the dwelling of nothingness is in the middle of the curtain, the lonely Guo Ran is silent, the cultivation and independence of the real official, the tranquility and no desire to visit the garden, the pure and fragrant jade girl, the cultivation of virtue and the door of God." It's just that ordinary people can't understand this sentence, and they can't understand this sentence. ”

"What would you think if a person told you that you weren't fit to cultivate? You will think: Why can't I cultivate, so I look down on me so much. Maybe you'll get into a fight. Let's say that if the emperor or someone in a high position finds a cultivator and asks him how to cultivate. To say that the neutral point is to ask, to say that it is good is to ask for advice, and to say that it is not good to listen to it is to command. How did the cultivator reply? Directly reply, "You have nothing to do with cultivation!" I don't want to live anymore!!, so this approach of the author of "Huang Tingjing" can also be understood. ”

"A person's mind has an absolute influence on cultivation, so the younger you are, the faster your cultivation will be. Because children's hearts and desires are still close to a blank sheet of paper, it is easy to fall into silence. It is much more troublesome for adults to enter meditation, and they are easily affected by the seven emotions and six desires in cultivation, and the probability of going mad is greatly increased. People who have the desire for power are not suitable for cultivation. Therefore, some sects and scholars choose some children whose minds are suitable for cultivation, raise them from an early age, teach them cultivation methods, prevent these children from coming into contact with society, and keep the children's minds in a relatively simple state, and when their cultivation reaches a certain level, they generally become strong, and only then let these children come into contact with society and become the thugs of these sects and scholars. ”

The demon understood, and asked, "What is understanding?"

The teacher continued: "The biggest difference between our own culture and other ethnic groups is that our own culture is about "enlightenment". Looking at the word can do business, meaning: my heart, my understanding, my understanding, my awakening.

Enlightenment manifests itself in cultivation:

One: People with high understanding, although the entry time is short, but the cultivation is far beyond the peers, even higher than the master, the ancestor.

Two: Touching the class. It didn't take much time and effort to master several skills and become a senior technician in several professions.

For example, in "Yuxi Zidanfang Quotations": "There is more refining and voiding on it, which is not easy to say, it is expensive to hey, and the heart is clear." ”

"It's important to know, and it's okay to be clear. "That's what it means.

The demon understands: "Enlightenment" is indeed too important, just like learning to forge and forge by yourself. My perception is still good. ”

The demon asked again: "Then is the exercise book I used both true and false?"

The teacher replied, "As long as it's the real thing, there's no problem." An excellent martial arts book is expensive. Because fakes are prevalent in the world, there is a fake Li Kui who defeats the real Li Kui. Because the exercise book you use belongs to the martial arts, the probability of going mad is high, the emperor and the high-ranking and powerful people do not need to fight in person, and some of the men are thugs, so they have no motivation to practice the martial arts exercise book; ”

The demon asked, "Then what the emperor and the powerful people need are self-cultivation and life-raising exercises?"

The teacher replied, "Yes." As the name suggests, the self-cultivation and life-raising exercise book focuses on self-cultivation and life-nourishing, and there is no need to open up the twelve meridians, and the probability of going mad is very small, even if it goes mad, the harm is very slight, and it will recover soon. Not only did the emperor and the powerful need such books, but wealthy families also liked them, and the common people also rejoiced, but they were too busy earning money to support their families every day because they did not have the time or energy to cultivate. The culture of the clan has led to the fact that people with good self-cultivation and self-cultivation basically understand medical skills, and they are still very young when they are older. ”

"Liang Shu Tao Hongjing Biography": Good sex writings, still strange, cherish the situation, old and long. You Ming Yin and Yang Five Elements, Wind Angle Star Calculation, Mountains and Rivers Geography, Square Map Products, Medical Materia Medica. Wrote "The Calendar of the Emperor Dynasty", and tasted the creation of heavenly phenomena, which is necessary for cloud cultivation, and is not used by historians. Righteous teacher Ping Jiankang, hearing the discussion of the Zen Dynasty, Hongjing quoted the diagram, and the word "Liang" became in several places, so that the disciples entered. Gaozu traveled with him early, and after ascending the throne, he was gracious, asked endlessly, and looked at each other. After four years in prison, he moved to MPF Dongjian. The method of good valley guidance is more than eighty years old and magnificent. ... At the beginning of Datong, he ordered to offer two knives to Gaozu, one of them was a winner, a winner, and a good treasure. ”

Tao Hongjing understands the five elements of yin and yang, medical skills, astronomy, and magic, "good at the method of guiding the valley, more than eighty years old and magnificent", and also presented two swords.

The demon asked, "Can you read the "Enlightenment Chapter?"

The teacher replied: "The author of the "Wuzhen Chapter" is proficient in the five elements of yin and yang, yin and yang gossip, and is still a senior pharmacist, so he likes to use the concepts of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the five elements of yin and yang, the concepts of Qiankun Zhen Gen and Likandui Xun in the yin and yang gossip, furnace ding in alchemy, civil and military fire, and male babies and girls, etc., to make this book more difficult to understand. In other words, in order to understand the "Enlightenment Chapter", one must be proficient in the five elements of yin and yang, yin and yang gossip, and at least an intermediate pharmacist. I can't even read it, let alone you. You have to be careful, the "Enlightenment Chapter" on the market is not the original, it has been changed by Buddhists, don't turn it over, it will only mislead you; you must get the original "Enlightenment Chapter" and read it again. ”

For example, in the five quatrains of the twenty-sixth chapter of the second volume of the "Enlightenment Chapter" on the market:

Rao Jun realized that the truth was like sex, and he inevitably threw himself away. Why do you also cultivate big medicines, and you can be a real person without leakage

Reincarnation and emigration, the old dwelling name is karma. If the dragon will descend and subdue the tiger, when will the real gold rise from the house

Observe the form and close the mind and think about the divine method, and the road is smooth after the difficulty of learning at the beginning. Suddenly, he can travel all over the world, but his house is broken and he emigrates

Shi taught people to cultivate bliss, only because bliss is the golden formula. Most of the hues are realistic, and the remaining two are not true measurements

As the saying goes, it is advisable to seek out from it. It can be turned upside down in daily use, and the dust and sand of the earth become treasures

The second and fourth sentences are clearly written by Buddhists. ”

The demon asked again, "What books are worth reading among the Taoist books?"

"In general, if you forcibly classify Taoist books. The first type of books are represented by "Huang Tingjing" and "Wuzhen Chapter", and the beginner book is suitable for beginners, which means that it is more popular. The second category is represented by the "Wenshi Zhenjing", which is an intermediate reading. The third category of books is represented by the Tao Te Ching, the Nanhua Sutra, the Chongxu True Sutra, and the Yin Fu Sutra, which are advanced readings. On the surface, these four books talk about the "Tao," but in fact they talk about the three views, that is, the outlook on life, the outlook on society, and the outlook on the universe. If your three views reach the realm mentioned in these three books, you will stand directly at the top of the pyramid; you don't need to cultivate, you don't need any means and methods to directly enter the state of cultivation, and you don't need the methods and means mentioned in the "Huang Ting Sutra" and "Enlightenment Chapter". Therefore, the Tao Te Ching, the Nanhua Sutra, and the Chongxu Zhenjing do not talk about cultivation methods, nor do they talk about cultivation methods; However, these four books are the theoretical basis for all cultivation, and it can be said that there is no "Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Sutra", "Chongxu Zhenjing", and "Yin Fu Jing", these four books have no cultivation, and among them, the "Tao Te Ching" is the earliest. ”

"The static state of cultivation that is entered by the methods mentioned in the "Huang Ting Jing" and "Wu Zhen Chapter" is not the same thing as the cultivation state mentioned in the "Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Sutra", "Chongxu Zhenjing", and "Yin Fu Sutra", and it is much lower. That's why I used the word static to describe it, not the word cultivation state. The understanding and elaboration of the Tao in these three books, "Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Sutra", and "Chongxu Zhenjing", are generally the same, but there are subtle differences, which is normal, because "the Tao cannot be obtained, the Tao cannot be learned, the Tao cannot be sought, and the Tao cannot be said". ”

The demon understood: ""Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Sutra", "Chongxu Zhenjing", "Yin Fu Jing" four books are high-end goods, I am now busy solving the problem of eating, drinking, Lasa and sleeping every day, and the three views will definitely not meet the requirements, "Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Jing", "Chongxu Zhenjing", "Yin Fu Jing" will temporarily have no chance with themselves. "Huang Ting Jing" and "Wu Zhen Chapter" are the same primary reading books as their own martial arts exercise books, but the purpose of their own cultivation is to master the spirit hammer and become a senior forging master, so as to earn money to solve the problem of eating, drinking, lazing and sleeping; You can buy an intermediate reading book "Wenshi Zhenjing" and put it on your body, and flip through it when you have time, which is a good choice. ”

The demon asked again, "Is there any difference in the state of cultivation?"

The teacher replied, "Of course there is a difference. "Huang Ting Jing" and "Wu Zhen Chapter" are all used to save ideas, which is promising, which is the opposite of the Tao "Wu Wei", so the static entry with existing ideas is different from the static of "Tao Te Ching" and "Nanhua Jing", not only different, but also very different. But for beginners, there is no way to save ideas, and there is no choice but to choose. I have to find a way to the pyramid of cultivation. Therefore, the existence of thoughts is a stepping stone, and if it is a little more advanced, we will forget about the existence of thoughts, or abandon the thoughts, but there is still a distance from the inaction of the "Tao", but this state is close to the "quietness" and "emptiness" of the Tao. ”

(The following passage is an explanation.) ）

The scriptures of the Yin Fu Sutra deal with the essence of health preservation, cultivation, ideology, and cosmology. As a Taoist scripture, it is in the same vein as the idea of the Tao Te Ching.

The Nanhua Sutra, also known as the Zhuangzi, is a Taoist scripture, written by Zhuangzi and his followers in the middle of the Warring States period, mainly talking about the three views.

"Chongxu Zhenjing", also known as "Liezi", Taoism is regarded as one of the "Four Sons" of the true scriptures. Chong Xuan Zhenjing carries forward the seclusion of Huang Lao, which is an indispensable part of Taoist righteousness. ）
