Chapter 264: The So-called
All the clones of Gu Xiaopang, looking at all the people in the six squares with their fiery eyes on him, Gu Xiaopang naturally heard their discussions, but he smiled on his face, and did not really explain out loud, after all, in his opinion, the misunderstanding of the sect is not unreasonable, and the most important thing is that he can't tell them about the existence of hundreds of heroic spirit bosses in the secret realm of the cemetery at this time, so it can be regarded as a beautiful misunderstanding.
Countless disciples and elders, including the peak masters, including the Xia family, all took out the seal carving jade slips, they were afraid that in Gu Xiaopang's next sermon, there was something that they could not understand for a while and delay the excitement in the future, so they were all ready to understand and remember the seal carving.
"There are things that are formed, born from nature, the word is called the Tao, the name is big, and it is regarded as the avenue. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the law of nature......"
"The way of heaven is like a bow, the higher one suppresses it, the lower one lifts it, the surplus loses it, and the insufficient one makes up for it." The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. ”
"The way of man, otherwise, the loss is not enough to give more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve the world, only the Taoist ......"
"Everything in the world is born from being, and some are born from nothing. All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful. However, between the world and the world of life, if the white horse passes through the gap, it will be sudden. ”
"Yes, the road to cultivation is long, and its cultivation is long and difficult!"
As Gu Xiaopang's sermon began, all the sects and members of the Xia family were inexplicably excited in their hearts, and at the same time, they all forcibly restrained themselves from calming down.
As Gu Xiaopang said, life is like a white horse, and these cultivators are all red dust ferrymen, but the road of cultivation is difficult and cruel, and there are very few people who can really get a good beginning and a good end.
Once upon a time, I was like a child, born without major worries, but I don't know when I embarked on the path of cultivation, along the way, there will always be gains and losses, the old saying often says that the root of cultivation lies in cultivating the mind, but the heart is the most difficult for all of them to cultivate.
Starting from the lowest period of Qi cultivation, it is extremely difficult to take every step forward, how many people are stuck in front of the threshold of foundation building, hesitating for half a lifetime, how many people are in front of the Jindan Palace, stumbling for a lifetime, how many people are in the period of breaking the pill and becoming infants, on the way to death, how many people are entering the transformation of the gods, and the Tao is invisible, how many people are withering and dying of old age before the tribulation, and how many people are squeezing into the Dacheng stage and sharpening their heads......
There is never an easy step, but the difference between difficult, difficult and more difficult is relatively speaking.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to walk the road, it is difficult to walk, and it is difficult to go to the sky.
"The way of heaven, yin and yang flow in heaven and earth, and run regularly. If you look at the abyss, you can still see the abyss, and you don't know the extreme...... For example, the road is in the world, and the valley is in the rivers and seas. ”
In the mortal realm of Yanxian, that is, today's Fengshen Continent, what all cultivators pursue is almost without exception, that is, detachment, detachment from the shackles of red dust, also regarded as cultivating immortals and cultivating the way, but the ethereal way, sometimes the brilliance shines, as if rising in the sky, sometimes it is hidden, as if it has sunk into the abyss, sometimes it is moist and soft, as if lurking into the sea, sometimes it is unattainable, as if it is in the mountains.
It is precisely for this reason that cultivators who yearn for the Tao will choose the peaks and rivers that rise into the clouds, or the bottom of the sea and the valley abyss for their lifelong cultivation.
Like the Ethereal Sect, surrounded by mountains, the peaks of the seven towering giant peaks can sit and watch the clouds rise and fall, climb extremely high and look forward to the road;
Another example is the Yuan Qing Heavenly Pavilion, where the current Tianfu station is also located, and almost all powerful forces are like this;
The vast and boundless Mysterious Beast Forest is also formed from the endless forests of various domains, and the terrain is extremely high;
As for the group of sea beasts that disappeared, they were the ancestral lands that inhabited the deepest and deepest bottom of the Four Domains Boundary Sea, forming a low-lying place of their own......
Gu Xiaopang's every word and word was deeply hammered into the hearts of all listeners, and the words were simple and easy to understand, but they were all full of true knowledge and insight.
"The wind never ends, and the rain never ends. Man is weak in life, but strong in death, and fragile in the life of plants and trees, and withered in death. Therefore the strong are dead, and the weak are alive. If the soldier is strong, it will be destroyed, and if the wood is strong, it will be broken. The strong are below, and the weak are above. ”
Yes, a storm cannot last, and so is a man, no matter how strong he was in life, his body is soft when he is alive, but when he dies, his body will become stiff, and when he is in autumn, he will be soft and fragile when he grows, but when he dies, he will become dry and withered. Therefore, being too rigid and too paranoid is the most easy to break, and only by being flexible can it last for a long time, and it can also get rid of the bad luck of being strong and old.
This is just like the path of cultivation, the cultivation is long, whether it is tribulation or misfortune, or the temptation of chance, there are too many things to seek, but it is not easy to force it, uphold the original heart, do not fall into it, do not be arrogant or arrogant, and the beautiful vision lasts forever, not overestimated, and not decadent, it is the right way.
As the saying goes, you don't see the abandoned pond on the side of the road, and you don't see the former destroying the tong. In a hundred years of dead trees, this is the principle of the old water hidden dragon.
Life is varied, no one can always maintain passion, it is inevitable that there will be dark moments, such as Gu Xiaopang's latecomers, Zhao Xianyun, Lin Shiyin, Murong Ruxue, Yu Qingqing and other elite children of the young generation, who are surpassed step by step and thrown farther and farther away, while their own excellence, they will inevitably be overshadowed by Gu Xiaopang's growth for a period of time, but when they break through the haze and return to rational passion again, they can be regarded as renewing the right path, and they can also benefit from it, so that their future self can go further.
Just ask me how many talented people in the Five Domains have been in the Five Domains for thousands of years, and after being frustrated one after another, they can't get out of the predicament in their hearts, and they have never had a chance with the Tao again.
In the same way, those who have been defeated repeatedly, defeated and defeated, and become more and more courageous, after experiencing the baptism of time, have become the strongest people on the famous side, and they can be in the minority?!
"The Tao is inactive. If Dacheng is lacking, its use is not harmful; if it is strong, its use is not endless; if it is straight, if it is clumsy, if it is clumsy, if it is arguing, if it is humiliating, if it is generous, if it is late, if it is a big sound, and the elephant is invisible. ”
"When the sergeant hears the sermon, he acts diligently, when the sergeant hears the sermon, if he survives, he dies; when the corporal hears the sermon, he laughs loudly, and it is not enough to laugh at it." ”
As Gu Xiaopang said at this time, the inaction of the Tao and the profundity of the Tao are inherently difficult to understand and concrete, and it is not an exaggeration to measure it with conviction in the heart.
It is only because of the differences in age, experience, mind cultivation, concentration, likes and dislikes, and qualifications that all people have different degrees of cognition and understanding of the 'Dao', so if everyone can easily understand its original meaning, then it is not enough to call it 'Dao', and it is precisely because of this that all living beings have three points.
For example, the human race has endless mundane and massive Taoist cultivation, but there are only a very small number of powerful and accomplished people, which is the case.
Especially after cultivating into the realm and entering the realm of transforming gods, the power of the origin of their major cultivation all comes from the rules, and the rules originate from the Dao, so that the more they cultivate to the later stage, the more they can perceive and comprehend the Dao, the more they can feel their own insignificance, and the more they want to continue to climb.
"Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear." The winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong...... Heavy is light roots, quiet is restless, light is rootless, and restlessness is loss...... To the extreme, keep quiet. All things work together, and I look at it. ”
Cultivation is like sailing against the current, going up against the waterfall, it is said to be grinding, but it is better to eliminate too many creatures who want to move forward.
As the so-called gentleman is self-reliant, virtuous, although the road of cultivation is far and difficult, far from the future, difficult to self-improvement, but as long as you keep your heart, win your heart, keep yourself, and win yourself can you go far and near.
But the reason is simple, there are too few and too few people who can really achieve the place where they can win and be strong.
"A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way;
"If you want to destroy it, you will fix it, if you want to be weak, you will strengthen it, if you want to abolish it, you will fix it, and if you want to take it, you will fix it......"
"If you are cautious until the end, you will not fail. ”
As the saying goes, abide by the original heart, the party is always, and only when you encounter a leaf can you not lose it;
As the saying goes, devotion to the Tao, follow the Tao, sit in the well and watch the sky, in order not to be lost, there is a give-and-take, in order to lose the east, harvest the mulberry elm, if you blindly seek success, do not know how to give, only enter and do not leave, it will inevitably be abandoned by the way of good and beneficial to all things.
As the saying goes, small confusion is easy to do, big confusion is easy to change, keep one's own heart, and be pious to the Tao, so that you can not fall into demonization on the long way of cultivation.
Hearing that Gu Xiaopang was like the incarnation of the Tao of the diligent preaching, all the people in the square were full of thoughtfulness, but the seal carving action under his hand was not slackened at all.
"The intentions of the people are like mirrors, they will not be welcomed, they should not be hidden, so they can win things without hurting. ”
"If things are not things, then they can gain and be tired!"
When cultivating to the realm, the heart is like the realm, reflecting external objects without hiding personal interests, and naturally being able to get rid of external objects without damaging one's heart and mind.
As the saying goes, if you use things without being controlled by them, how can you still be affected by external things?
However, after cultivating the mind for a hundred years and asking questions for a thousand years, no matter how old and strong a person is, can he really be free from external influences?
There is a catastrophe above the gods, there is a great success above the catastrophe, and there is a return to the truth above the great success, when one day it seems that the red dust can be transcended and soared into the fairy world, then why not change to another red dust and continue to experience a similar journey.
Where there are living beings, no matter how high the level of life of the living beings is, there will inevitably be disputes.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and if there are rivers and lakes, they will never be calm, there will be waves, there will be disputes, and there will be people's hearts and gods......
