Chapter 91: Dialectical Cultivation
The night was deep, and the crescent moon hung high. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Lu Dian leaned sideways against the tree and listened to Lin Shuyu whisper. She was lecturing to two young people. Lu Dian had heard it like this before, but Lin Shuyu was a little eager, and there was no way to teach, which made the two rookies dizzy.
"Do you understand?" Lin Shuyu may have also noticed this problem, and asked after pausing to look at the two sleepy young men.
Lu Dian smiled, they can understand the ghost.
Hua Yun nodded as if he didn't understand, and Valin frowned and shook his head directly. The personalities of these two men can be seen from this. Lu Dian said lightly: "What is Xiuzhen?"
Valin and Hua Yun shook their heads.
"Don't be restrictive, what do you think is cultivation, just say it. Lu Dian said lightly.
Valin thought for a while and said, "To cultivate truth is to gain strength like a master." ā
Lu Dian nodded and looked at Hua Yun again. Hua Yun said in a daze: "I don't know what Xiuzhen is. Sister asked me to fix it, and I will fix it. ā
"Hmm. Lu Dian pondered for a while, looked at Lin Shuyu and said, "Shuyu, what do you think?"
Lin Shuyu didn't expect Lu Dian to ask her, and she was suddenly stunned, everyone in the Xiuzhen family knew about cultivating true qi, but she really hadn't thought about this question Lu Dian talked about. She thought for a while and said, "It should be the process of longing for the truth of heaven and earth and the way of humanity." ā
"I don't think you're wrong. Lu Dian said with a smile. "However, I have a little bit of personal thoughts, which may or may not be useful for your future cultivation, so I just said it. ā
All three of them looked at Lu Dian. Valin sat precariously as if he was following instructions. Hua Yun is a little lazy, and he has to listen to something he doesn't understand when he is tired, which is really not his favorite entertainment. Lin Shuyu was very interested. She was very curious about Lu Dian's rapid ascension to the realm, and she also wanted to know what Lu Dian, a thinking monster, had a unique opinion on cultivation.
"In my opinion, the word "truth" is fundamental, and "cultivation" reflects a very important thing. Let me start by talking about what I understand as 'true', which is called the Great Way in some texts, the Holy Word in some texts, and the Law of Nature in others. In fact, they are essentially talking about one thing, but from two aspects. The idea that it is the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is to look outward, and the truth contained in the rules of the grass, trees, sun, moon, and stars is true, and the idea that he is the true word and the heart, is to look inward, after all, cultivation itself is a human being, not the things we see in our eyes. So what exactly is 'true'? Actually, there is no certainty. Even the methods of cultivating the realm of cultivation established by the Three Sages are at odds on these two issues. The first line of Lu Sheng is biased towards the path of nature, while the first line of the white saint is biased towards the path of idealism, and it is difficult to distinguish between the strong and the weak. Therefore, 'truth' is not a certain thing, Valin thinks that power can be obtained, then for Valin, power is 'truth'; Huayun is attached to his sister, that is, love is 'true'; and Shu Yu you are the least opinionated, probably because you are a real cultivator, but forget the original 'truth'. ā
Lu Dian woke up the person in the dream with a word, Lin Shuyu was shocked, and suddenly felt empowered. Lu Dian's understanding is not only strange but also different from ordinary people, but his understanding makes people unable to find faults. On the contrary, it is himself, who has cultivated for many years, and has followed the trend step by step, and the flying sword in the family is good to practice the flying sword, and others say that the four holy gates are good, so they want to get close to the four holy gates, but they lose their authenticity.
Seeing Lin Shuyu falling into thought, Lu Dian said lightly: "Everyone may have their own 'truth', but most of them are lost in the process of cultivation. ā
Valin's eyes lit up when he heard this. Lu Dian's explanation was simple and simple, there were neither ancient scriptures nor big discussions, and three or two sentences made her, a rookie who had never been in contact with cultivation, grasp the most fundamental point of cultivation at once. What you are pursuing is the power to control everything, and that is the truth that you want to cultivate. Hua Yun felt that what Lu Dian said was very reasonable, and nodded again and again. Lu Dian looked at the three of them and smiled faintly, it seems that his guidance methods have not degraded.
"Then Master, how do you interpret the word 'Xiu'?" asked Valin.
Lin Shuyu also raised her head to stare at Lu Dian, her sixth sense told herself that Lu Dian's next decomposition must be shocking.
"Hua Yun, let me ask you what needs to be repaired?"
Lin Shuyu and Valin were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Lu Dian to ask Hua Yun, who looked the most stupid. Hua Yun didn't think much about it, and said lightly: "Naturally, it is something that is broken and needs to be repaired." ā
"Well, that's right. Anything else?"
"My father repaired an aunt, by the way, you have to fix things you don't want. Hua Yun said happily.
"You're right, only things that are broken or unwanted need need to be repaired. Then if we regard 'truth' as a thing, then why do we need to cultivate it?" Lu Dian guided Hua Yun to think in his own direction.
"That must be the 'real' is broken or needs to be repaired. After Hua Yun finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and covered his mouth and looked at Valin stunned.
Valin was also stunned, and Lin Shuyu was even more stupid. Lu Dian's leap in thinking was simply unacceptable. If we think about it according to Lu Dian's thinking, what is the meaning of cultivating the truth? Lin Shuyu said, "What is the meaning of cultivating the truth?"
"It doesn't make any sense. Lu Dian smiled, "You told me that it was snowing in the sky, what was the point of growing grass on the ground?"
"For the sake of ......" Valin felt that the things he wanted to say were really too shallow, and he didn't know what to say all of a sudden.
"You tell me what the snow in the sky means to the heavens, what does the grass on the earth mean to the earth? In fact, everything in this world has no meaning in itself, but it is only because people think they have meaning, they have meaning. Cultivating the truth and cultivating the truth is because the 'truth' itself has no meaning, so it needs to be 'cultivated'. Shu Yu, do you think there is any truth in my opinion? Lu Dian has been thinking about what kind of conditions this strange exercise was created, and what kind of mentality the person who created this exercise was at that time. After thinking for a long time, Lu Dian realized that perhaps only by understanding it nihilism could we explain the creative thinking of this suicidal exercise. If the creator thinks that cultivation itself has no meaning, then it is very likely that he will come up with this kind of exercise that does not care about the cultivation realm at all, and even does not care about the body. What he pursues is the 'truth' itself, not the 'me' that exists on the material level. Lu Dian speculated that this might be the true meaning of cutting my way.
Lin Shuyu frowned, Lu Dian's brain hole was too big. She felt a little unacceptable. "I don't understand. If there is no point in cultivating the truth, why should it be cultivated?"
Lu Dian touched Lin Shuyu's head and smiled, "You are really stupid." Didn't Valin already answer you just now?"
Lin Shuyu looked dazed, and he really couldn't understand Lu Dian's thinking circuit.
Valin frowned and looked up in contemplation and suddenly said, "Yes, Master is right." There is no point in cultivating the truth itself, I cultivate the truth because I need strength. ā
Lu Dian smiled, this Valin is indeed a good seedling, with a quick thinking and strong ability to accept, maybe he can instill some concepts of the earth into her.
"Yes, it's like a bowl for eating. The bowl itself doesn't mean anything, but we need to eat with it, don't we?"
Lin Shuyu frowned and pondered for a long time, looked up at Lu Dian's eyes and said, "Scholar, your kind of thinking is very dangerous. The way of a saint is a way of edification, not a tool. ā
"Isn't the way of indoctrination a tool in itself? Shu Yu, through this dialectical way of thinking, I just want you to understand one thing, everything does not necessarily have only one way to understand. For example, this bonfire, I can use the Stacked Wave Palm to light it, or I can use flint and steel. The method of cultivating the truth is naturally a convenient way to achieve the goal, but we can't deny that flint and steel can also do it. Even cultivators should not only cultivate the truth in their eyes, but also look at the world more broadly. Hua Ling, Hua Yun, do you understand what I mean?" Lu Dian finally pointed out his purpose, and dialectical thinking was the first lesson he wanted to give to the two of them.
Lin Shuyu seems to understand whether he understands or not, and even resists Lu Dian's concept. She has received orthodox cultivation education since she was a child, and always feels that the road of cultivation is a consistent way. Lu Dian easily broke it, and it was irrefutable, which made Lin Shuyu feel a little lost. However, she still accepted Lu Dian's view of 'truth', as long as she could find her original true self, she should be able to break through the qi and enter the foundation building. Lin Shuyu had such a feeling, and it was extremely strong.
"Alright, let's rest. I have to go tomorrow. Lu Dian said and lay down on his side, and the other three thought about it all night without saying anything.
