Chapter 56: The Battle of the Kuiyuan
(The agreement has been sent out today)
――――――――――――――
Today, because there is going to be a leader in the Dao Conference, there are relatively more onlookers.
Wu Lingzi continued to stand on the stage to meet the challenge of yesterday's "nature" topic. After yesterday's day of preparations, the judgment of the person who came to power today is obviously much higher than yesterday's, and it is quite new. Although this truce was somewhat unfavorable to Wu Lingzi, Wu Lingzi was also very well prepared, calmly responded, and was still invincible.
Unconsciously, at noon, Wu Lingzi won nine people in a row, and only needed to win Xiao Yi, who did not play in the end, to win the first place. Wu Lingzi became more and more courageous the more he fought, and after comparing the ninth opponent, he said: "Nature is free." We cultivators should follow the example of Kunpeng, take advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and resist the arguments of the six qis, without restraint, to swim infinitely, to have no self, to have no merit, and to have no name. In this way, I can show my true heart of cultivation and enjoy the joy of nature alone. After hearing this, the people in the audience nodded yes one after another, and they were quite taught.
Wu Lingzi suddenly shouted to the audience: "Senior Brother Xiao Yi, do you have any opinions?" Now, only Xiao Yi is left, and everyone knows that Xiao Yi is just a newcomer who has just started, how high his cultivation can be, and it is good to be able to recite half of the Tao Te Ching. Wu Lingzi didn't take Xiao Yi to heart at all, seeing that Kui Yuan was none other than himself, he was somewhat carried away.
Xiao Yi asked, so he had to go to the stage to fight. Everyone only thought that Xiao Yi directly admitted defeat in the audience, but they really walked on stage, so they all showed puzzlement. Some disciples who had suffered a worse defeat were even more gloating, wishing that someone had lost more than themselves. Only Lu Weidao was puzzled, and he couldn't figure out whether this new junior brother had real ability.
But seeing that Xiao Yi was not in a hurry, he walked in front of Wu Lingzi, first bowed to Wu Lingzi, then straightened his chest, put his hands behind his back, and said: "According to what Senior Brother just said, nature is to do whatever you want, do whatever you want, and have no constraints, this is Lao Tzu's idea of having no country and no government, and it is also the wish of us cultivators." Freedom is natural, and the younger brother agrees. ”
As soon as this remark came out, the audience immediately laughed. On this platform, it is called the Tao, but the essence is the Tao. It is always necessary to find the wrong or inadequate part of the other party, investigate one point, and refute it to the end in order to win. When Xiao Yi came to power, he first agreed with the other party's words, which is equivalent to admitting defeat before he started to talk about the Tao.
Wu Lingzi also smiled and said: "It is rare for the junior brother to agree, and it is necessary to thank the brother sincerely." So the junior brother has admitted defeat?"
Xiao Yi shook his head and smiled, and said, "The little brother just said that he agreed, but he didn't say that he agreed. The younger brother thinks that the way of nature has a layer of care, but it does not fulfill its true meaning. He suddenly turned his head to the audience and said, "Cultivators, when the six desires are not born, the three poisons are eliminated." Always send their desires, and the heart is quiet. If you want to not be born, you are truly quiet. Only then did he come into the truth. Lao Tzu said, the sergeant has no dispute, and the corporal is quarrelsome. This is already a contest, and the senior brothers are not only happy to fight, but also indulge in sneering at their fellow disciples, but do you still remember that you are a cultivator?"
When most of the disciples in the audience heard this, they were first shocked, and then they were ashamed and bowed their heads silently. A small number of disciples still didn't know how to introspect, and sneered at it and said, "A little virgin, you dare to speak wildly." "For a while, the hostility was very strong, and if there was no real person present, I was afraid that I would rush to the stage to repay the old fist.
The four real people on the stage and the Changqing Daoist had two views at the moment. Changjing, Changhe, and Changgu all thought: "Is this son confused? He deliberately made enemies with your senior brothers, how can he get along in the future?" I hope you can have real skills. ”
Xiao Yi didn't care what everyone thought, and turned back to Wu Lingzi and asked, "Since nature is to follow one's heart, then dare to ask Senior Brother if he has ever done what he likes since he cultivated the Dao?
Wu Lingzi was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Yi said: "As the senior brother said, nature is the heart, and the senior brother should be honest and honest in what he wants." ”
Although Wu Lingzi realized the level of natural self-willingness, he suddenly remembered that he had been practicing hard for decades, and he was not even a true disciple of Chongzhen, and a sour feeling came to his heart. Moreover, the sole purpose of cultivating the Tao is to obtain the Dao name and become a true disciple of the Truth, which in itself is contrary to the purpose of the Dao.
All the disciples have entered the Tao since childhood, and since they were rejected by the door of Taoism, they have no choice but to devote themselves to learning the Tao and strive to become Chongzhen disciples as soon as possible. Other than that, they don't have any sorrows, so they learn the Tao for the sake of learning the Tao, and they don't know what the Dharma is of use to the world. Xiao Yi is different, he is a monk halfway, has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, understands the difficulties of the world, and now he is learning the Tao, and he understands the subtlety of the Tao, which is to lead people into the Tao, get rid of the desires of the world, and achieve inner peace. Therefore, when he was studying the Dao, he had such a number of people who realized it.
Xiao Yi observed the change in Wu Lingzi's expression, and said, "Senior brother, you can ask yourself, what is the path of cultivation?"
Wu Lingzi was seriously injured, and he took three steps back, muttering: "That's it, why is the Dao of cultivation? Why should I be cultivating?" For a while, he didn't know what the meaning of his cultivation was, and he felt that all his past efforts had been in vain, and his eyes were confused. After a long time, he asked, "According to my junior brother's opinion, what should I do?"
Xiao Yi smiled slightly and said, "Senior brother, but he admits defeat?"
It was just a short period of work, Wu Lingzi suddenly became disheartened, and said: "I have understood the Tao for so many years and understood the meaning of the Tao, but I can't follow the path. ”
The disciples in the audience were in an uproar when they heard this, and they really couldn't understand it, Xiao Yi only said a few words, and let Wu Lingzi give up the position of Kui Yuan.
Xiao Yi said in his heart: "Disturbed by the world, how many people can really be the same as the outside without desires?" but said in his mouth: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs." The founder of Taoism by the ancestor of Boyang is just to let the world get rid of suffering and live a better life. There are many kinds of sufferings in the world, and the Tao can make people's hearts calm, but they cannot be eaten or clothed. Lao Tzu takes inaction as nature, and does not do nothing, but to remove the false and keep the truth, and do what should be done. But what should be done and what should not be done. For Senior Brother Wu, what should be done now is to cultivate the Dao Fruit and become a true disciple of Chongzhen, which actually has no conflict with our Dao, Senior Brother Wu is just wrong in his mentality. Senior Brother Wu did not forget what he wanted when he cultivated the Tao, which distorted the original meaning of the Dao. With a desireless mentality, to achieve what you want, to do nothing, this is the right way to the road. ”
The disciples listened to Xiao Yi talk about Wu Lingzi's mistakes for a while, and then talk about Wu Lingzi's rights for a while, between this and wrong, it was difficult to distinguish between the truth, and they were all dizzy for a while. Wu Lingzi, as a person in the bureau, also heard it in a fog, and felt that he understood, but when he looked back, he felt that it was wrong. Twists and turns, thinking about it.
Only Changheng Zhenren on the stage praised him, saying: "What a good one who does nothing!"
