"Before you take an oath, I will tell you what cultivation is. Li Tian looked at them one by one and couldn't wait, and couldn't help but smile secretly: "If you don't whip a bunch, you won't know what kind of master you are?" Then, he said to Zhao Zhidong at the door: "Zhao Zhidong, you go out and tell the guys in the restaurant, just say that the food will be served for a while." Then you just stand in the doorway and look out and listen. ”

"Yes, Lord Li Tian!" After speaking, he bowed and walked out of the door, and there was a sound of "oh oh oh". After a while, the sound of "oh oh" came again, and Zhao Zhidong appeared outside the door of the box, nodded at Li Tian, and then stared at the corridor intently.

When Li Tian saw Zhao Zhidong coming back, he said: "If you want to cultivate the truth, first of all, you must break your current concept: the Tao is the Tao, not the constant Tao. This is mentioned in the Tao Te Ching, my Taoist ancestor Daode Tianzun, Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching". ”

"This 'Tao' is actually a contradiction of the two laws. The contradiction of the two laws is the basic concept of philosophy put forward by the German classical philosopher Immanuel Kant. It refers to the contradiction between two propositions that are recognized by the two sides on the basis of universally recognized principles. Since the dialectical nature of human rational cognition tries to transcend the boundaries of one's own experience to understand objects, mistakenly regards the idea of the universe as the object of cognition, and uses things that explain phenomena to explain it, this will inevitably produce the contradiction of the two laws, while practice can make the subjective see the objective and prove the truth of the unity of relativity and absoluteness!

For example, a set of dichotomy laws about 'time' and 'space': the proposition states that the universe has a beginning in time, so there are limits in space; The counterthesis says that the universe has no beginning, no limit in space, and that it is infinite in time and space.

The second set of dilution is about elementary particles, that is, the most basic structure that makes up all things. The proposition states that in the universe all kinds of constituent matter are made up of many simple parts. Moreover, there is nothing that is both simple and consists of many simple parts; The counter-proposition is that there is nothing in the universe that is made up of many simple parts, and that there is no simple matter in the universe.

The third set of dichotomy is about free will. The proposition proposes that the phenomena of the universe are not only governed by the laws of cause and effect that operate according to the laws of nature, but are also influenced by the laws of cause and effect of free will. The counter-proposition is that there is no such thing as free will, and that nothing in the universe operates purely according to the laws of nature.

The fourth set of dichotomy is theological, that is, about the question of whether or not there is a Creator. The proposition states that there is something absolutely necessary in or in relation to the universe, which is a part of the universe or the cause of the universe. The counter-proposition says that there is no absolutely necessary thing in or outside the universe that makes the universe.

These are the world-famous four laws of contradiction. And the 'Dao' proposed by Daozu Daode Tianzun Laozi is also a contradiction of the two laws. The first word is to clarify the principle of the formation and operation of heaven and earth; It is also a description of the formation of heaven and earth, and the trajectory of their movements.

But the Tao tells us that we can cultivate according to the formation of heaven and earth and the mode in which it operates.

It is not a constant way, but it is a warning to us: although the way of heaven and earth remains unchanged for eternity, if we want to cultivate according to its laws, we can't follow the script. If the same method is applicable to your master, you may not be able to apply it, because the nature of human beings is different.

Depending on the physique and attributes of the practitioners, the 'Dao' will also change accordingly. ”

Li Tian looked at the people with a confused face, and continued: "Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, talks about reincarnation, and cares more about reincarnation and recultivation, teaching people to help others; But my Daomen doesn't believe in this! The Daomen believes that death is like a lamp going out, like soup pouring snow, and all thoughts turn to ashes. Although there is a reincarnation, I have to forget my previous life, my body is not the original body, the environment after reincarnation is different, the opportunities are different, is it really my original self at that time? This is why I have been in the Infernal Hell for countless years, but I have never forgotten my original self!"

"Hey!" Li Tian let out a long sigh and continued: "It is precisely because of the difference in cultivation concepts that my Dao Sect disciples are also destined to have a bad fate in this realm, and their luck is not good!"

"Lord Li Tian, if you have anything, just give orders!" Looking at Li Tian, who sighed coldly, Jin Shaoyunyi, who had already returned to his original seat, said impassionedly: "Which one of us here is not licking blood from the knife edge and pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers to beg for a living? As long as you give an order: we will definitely go to the soup one by one, and we will not give up!"

"I need you to give me a fart?" Li Tian glanced at him and said, "Did I ask you to grab the land for me?" I still don't want to go to the soup and fight the fire! Until now, you haven't figured out what you're going to do one by one? Say it again!" Li Tian sighed heavily and said in a deep tone: "I am not from your world, so my exercises are naturally not from this world." Every place will have its own local culture, just like your Yishou Hall is entrenched in Yishou City, and other forces are absolutely not allowed to insert it. When you are unknown, there will be nothing, but once you come to prominence, it will alert the world. Some of them, in order to protect the status of their local culture and beliefs, are bound to chase and intercept you and kill you on all sides!"

"You must know that they emphasize cause and effect, emphasize reincarnation and recultivation, and guide people to goodness, while we cultivators are here: the pursuit of immortality and the transformation of feathers into immortals, it is inevitable that there will be some selfishness in human nature!"

"What?" Li Tian's words, Zheng Desheng, who was beside Jin Shaoyun, excitedly rolled up his sleeves again, and shouted impatiently: "Surround and chase and intercept, cover up and kill on all sides, Damn! I don't know who killed whom! Lord Li Tian! You can quickly teach us to cultivate the truth!"

Although they also heard Putuo talk about the monks intentionally or unintentionally, in the final analysis, they only heard it, and naturally they wouldn't talk too much to them about Putuo's recklessness; and Li Tian's words about turning into immortals, although they didn't understand what it meant, they understood what was going on! When they heard Li Tian say 'immortality,' their faces showed indescribable excitement. Among them, Zheng Desheng was even more excited to roll up his sleeves back and forth, as if he wanted to do something immediately.

Looking at their eagerness to try, Li Tian nodded secretly, this is what he wanted. So he continued to explain: "Then what exactly is Xiuzhen?"

"Those who cultivate the truth, cultivate the truth by pretending. Learning the Tao and cultivating, seeking the true self, and removing the false and retaining the true, is for: 'cultivating the truth'. The name of cultivation has existed in ancient times, and it is commonly said: cultivation.

It contains: moving to refine the essence, refining the essence and transforming the qi, refining the qi and transforming the gods, refining the gods and returning the void to the void, returning the void to the Tao, and attaining the true immortal; What is the truth? Truth is the karmic position of a true person, and the truth is a true immortal, not a self-styled advertisement, but a seal in the upper realm of space. True people are the highest state of cultivators, and practitioners should be ambitious, far-sighted, diligent all their lives, practice hard, and advance in virtue and merit, in order to achieve the superior realm of true people and true immortals.

Those who cultivate the truth through falsehood, and use the flesh of the four false combinations to cultivate the true body of my vajra that is not bad. In ancient times, there was no immortal body, only an eternal Dharma body. The so-called: "Originally, the true nature was called Jindan, and the four major ones were made by the furnace refining group."

The flesh, the four false combinations, although it is said that the parents are gifted, but the blood of the father and the mother is a mundane thing, how can it not be bad after a few decades? What are the four great earth, water, wind, and fire. The earth constitutes the bones, muscles, and viscera, the water constitutes the blood in the body, the wind constitutes the respiratory system, and the fire constitutes the constant body temperature in the body......

After all, this is the world of Buddhism, and Li Tian finally chose the practice of dual cultivation of Taoism and Buddhism to pass on to them, hoping that this will reduce some of the friction between them and the cultivators of this realm in the future.

In the blink of an eye, it was already dark, so Li Tian took a sip of tea and said, "That's all for today! Before you go, you all swear an oath!"

At this time, they already had a certain understanding of the cultivation realm. Therefore, Yishou Yidao took the lead and swore an oath: "I Yishou Yidao voluntarily became a cultivator, and I will not swerve until I die! If he turns to Buddhism one day, he will die under the catastrophe!"

"I, Jin Shaoyun, have volunteered to become a cultivator, and I will not swerve until I die! If he turns to Buddhism one day, he will die under the catastrophe!"

"I'm Zheng Desheng......"

"I'm Zhao Zhidong......"

......

......

After they swore together, since Li Tian didn't need to eat food, after finishing talking about business, he got up and left the table to leave. Although they were so hungry that they were close to their backs, none of them dared to mention that they hadn't eaten yet, and they followed behind Li Tian with their heads drooping one by one. Li Tian said as he walked: "You guys here! The martial arts of one sword are almost the same, and you can barely get close to the acquired martial artists!"

"Acquired Martial Artist?" Although everyone was very concerned about this topic, what they were most concerned about was the righteous head of the person concerned, and he immediately asked: "Master, what does this acquired martial artist mean?"

"The Acquired Martial Artist is the initial stage of the Qi Refining Period of a True Cultivator, and reaching the Acquired Martial Artist also means that you belong to the True Cultivator. Li Tian explained, "Once you enter the Qi Refining Period, your longevity will also increase. ”

"Master, after I reach the Acquired Martial Artist, will Shou Yuan really grow?" Yi Shou Yidao was very excited when he heard Li Tian's words, but he asked with some disbelief.

"Of course, don't you need to lie to you?" Li Tian said disdainfully: "It is mentioned in "Zhuangzi Thief": People live to be 100 years old, 80 years old in the middle, and 60 years old in the next life. A person's normal lifespan is sixty, which is a jiazi, that is, 60 years,"
