Chapter 92 Looking back at the place where the immortal heart is solved, the mighty air is dry and the clouds are flat
Ye Haotian sat solemnly, and Lan'er lay in his arms weakly, quietly looking at the underwater world outside the Tiangong Divine Armor.
Bijin led the way in high spirits, as if she had finally found the opportunity to exert her power after holding back for tens of thousands of years.
One beast and one armor don't know how long they have been traveling, and then the light on the bottom of the sea is getting darker and darker, even with Ye Hao's Heavenly Divine Skills, he can only see the surrounding waters within more than ten zhang, and he can't see clearly from a distance.
It is surrounded by strange swimming fish, colorful coral algae, coral reefs, colorful starfish, sea urchins, unsightly sea cucumbers, and sea turtles...... There are thousands of postures and dazzling colors, and Lan'er is dazzled, and her spirit seems to be much better.
Moving forward, I felt that the water was rushing rapidly, and the light around me suddenly dimmed several times, almost to the point where I couldn't see my fingers, and vaguely seemed to have entered a dark undersea tunnel, cold and dark, giving people a terrifying and depressing feeling.
The pent-up feeling lasted for a long time, and it was almost two hours before their eyes suddenly lit up, and they finally broke through the confines of the tunnel and entered a well-lit water. Then it began to rise rapidly, and the surroundings became brighter and brighter, and in just a short time, the Heavenly Divine Armor had already surfaced.
Ye Haotian parked the Divine Armor on the shore, opened the top cover and poked his head out, and looked around.
To his great surprise, the vast and boundless sea was gone, and the place where Shenjia appeared was a small lake with a radius of 100 acres. The small lake is located in a valley full of flowers, and several shallow streams are swimming and singing freely. The grass along the stream, dotted with purple or pink wildflowers, attracts butterflies to linger and dance. On the shore is an endless expanse of green trees and grass, herds of spotted deer, antelopes, rhinoceros, and cuckoos, thrushes, and larks sing. In the distance, the cloud ridge is vast, the light smoke is long, the strange rocks are craggy, and the peaks and valleys are deep.
Just as he was looking around in amazement, Lan'er, who was in the Heavenly Divine Armor, couldn't wait any longer, and urged repeatedly: "Childe, have you found the ruins of Tianzun? Let me go out to breathe first!"
Ye Haotian hurriedly jumped to the ground, and then helped her out, pointing out the beautiful scenery in the valley while "tsk" and praised: "Look at the elk, how light the steps are galloping, look at the canary, how pleasant the crisp singing voice is...... What a charming fairyland! At this point, it is a bit of a Supreme Treasure Ding! You can feel with your heart, how rich the aura is here, it is really a dream place to cultivate the truth. ”
Lan'er looked at the flowers in the valley in a daze, as if she hadn't heard what he said, the whole person had been lost, her mind was restless flying around, with the breeze involved, running freely all over the mountains! The gorgeous mountain flowers like clouds swept in front of her, and the gentle singing of a hundred spirits slipped past her ears, the spring made her feel relaxed and happy, and the wind made her drunk, and she couldn't stop the footsteps of roaming at that moment! Her heart vaguely seemed to be moistened by the rain, warm and cool like a crisp, as if countless gentle tentacles touched her face and moistened her heart.
She was speechless, and a rare light blue dream hit her heart, and she didn't know whether it was in or out of her dreams, only the birds chirped in the air and the wind fluttered...... She just wanted to pull Ye Haotian to sit down on the soft grass, look up and see that the sky was high and clear, and the floating clouds were thin and ......elegant.
Ye Haotian sat quietly with her for a while, and then asked the blue sea golden-eyed beast that was fighting not far away: "Ah Jin, what is here? This valley is full of fairy spirit, giving people a refreshing feeling, it should have some origins." ”
Ah Jin "squeaked" twice: "I can't tell you clearly." You ask Ayu, she knows much more than I do. ”
Before Ye Haotian could open his mouth to inquire, Tongling Baoyu's soft voice had already sounded: "The master can rest assured." This place is called Xianxin Valley, which is one of the existing three valleys in the Nine Valleys of the Flood Desolation, and is guarded by the Nine Formations of the Flood Desolation outside. Even with the wisdom of the true God, it is impossible to enter without three or five months. ”
Ye Haotian looked around, but he didn't find the direction of Taniguchi, and he didn't know which way the true god would take if he came. Regardless, it's always good to be able to put the other person behind for a while.
With a long sigh of relief, he then asked Tongling Baoyu: "What is the 'Nine Valleys of the Flood Desolation', why is it one of the three existing valleys, and what about the other valleys?"
Tongling Baoyu replied briskly: "This has to start with the story of Pangu Opening the Heavens. Pangu the Great was conceived and grew up in the ethereal core of Baoding. He walked all the way from the chaotic place, took a step and cut an axe, and walked all the way to the outside of the ding. He gathered energy while developing, and when he was tired, he found a leeward place to rest for a while, while recovering his vitality with the help of elixir. This Immortal Heart Valley was one of the valleys where he had rested. There were nine such valleys, the outermost three were destroyed by the violent shock when he broke out, and the middle three were deliberately destroyed by the Demon Ancestor, and now only the innermost three are well preserved, in addition to the Immortal Heart Valley here, there is also a Four Seasons and Eight Positive Valley, and an ethereal and uncertain valley, each valley represents a different realm of Tianzun's cultivation, which is a process of constant change from innate to acquired. ”
Ye Haotian was both excited and regretful when he heard this, and sighed: "It's a pity that the nine valleys are missing! Where are those two valleys? Can we go over and take a look?" After speaking, he turned his head and explained to Lan'er: "Tianzun is a wise man who is immortal and mortal, and his cultivation begins from the innate to the acquired, and then travels in the two worlds of the immortal and the mortal; we are ordinary people, and the path of cultivation is just the opposite, we must start from the day after tomorrow and end with the innate nature, so that we can be extraordinary." That is to say, it is necessary to swim against the current and enter the ethereal and uncertain valley to cultivate, in order to reach the realm of Dacheng. ”
Lan'er smiled and nodded in understanding, thinking about how to enter the last two valleys.
Tongling Baoyu replied: "All the valleys can be entered, but it is not easy, you must come step by step, starting from this valley first." Do you know that this valley is called the Valley of the Immortal Heart, and although the aura contained in it is very sufficient, its real value is not here, but in the word 'Immortal Heart'. ”
Ye Haotian heard it strangely: "'Immortal Heart'? Is it 'Immortal Heart'?
Tongling Baoyu explained: "No, the immortal heart has nothing to do with the ruthless extinction. The so-called 'fairy heart' is simply a 'virtue' word. The word 'virtue' is called 'immortal heart' in Taoism and 'Buddha heart' in Buddhism, but what is it in Confucianism? 'There is no nail in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year'. There is no life and death in the Immortal Heart Valley, and there is no reincarnation, whether it is a flying bird or a galloping elk, they have been cultivating here for a long, long time. The Bird Heart and Beast Heart that they have accumulated for 10,000 years is the foundation for cultivating the Immortal Heart. If the master can absorb half of the immortal heart of this valley, he can cause cracks in the stone wall behind the valley, so as to reveal the passage into the valley of the four seasons and eight times. ”
Ye Haotian looked back at Lan'er beside him, and found that she was pondering what Tongling Baoyu said, and her complexion became much better, so he put a little snack and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I understand what 'fairy heart' is." When Bodhara came, he did not set up words, but only realized his own heart. This heart is the root of all the Ten Realms of Sainthood. Confucianism is based on benevolence, interpretation is based on precepts, and Taoism is based on morality. It is the saint of the three religions, the heart of the same, and the traces of the different. ”
Lan'er looked at him very happy, and said with a smile: "The son wants to be a faction of his own, it seems that he wants to seek the heart with Confucianism and gain the Tao with benevolence." It's just that there have been so many people with lofty ideals throughout the ages, and the discourse on benevolence is almost overflowing, how can Gongzi pioneer and innovate and reach the peak?"
Ye Haotian pondered for a long time and said: "In order to practice divine skills, there is no escape. You are right, there are so many descriptions of benevolence that there are many ways to say it in the Analects alone. ”
Lan'er interjected with a smile: "If you say the Analects, I have also memorized it." Among them, several people asked Confucius 'benevolence', and Confucius's answers were different, including 'self-denial and reciprocation are benevolence', 'do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself', 'there is no resentment in the state, no resentment at home', 'benevolence is also true in his words', and 'respect, forgiveness, faith, and sensitivity, and those who can do the five are benevolent in the world'. With so many claims, which one is true?"
Ye Haotian smiled slightly and said: "These are all the master's subtle words, all of them are classics, and naturally they are not wrong." However, in my opinion, benevolence means 'love', love for parents, love for brothers, love for the people, love for birds and beasts, love for flowers and trees...... Love is the foundation of life and the bridge of communication and coordination. ”
Lan'er said with some embarrassment: "This statement is too broad, if it can't be implemented, it will still be empty words." The world is complicated, and it is not possible to solve it with the word 'benevolence', and there are many examples of good intentions doing bad things. ”
Ye Haotian fell into contemplation when he heard this, and said for a long time: "You are right, the word 'benevolence' seems simple, but it is actually extremely complicated. Don't care so much about it for now, let me see the Gu poison on your body and see if I can get rid of it. ”
At the mention of the true god, Lan'er felt frightened, and hurriedly said, "No need." Childe just concentrating on the magic skills, don't waste time for me! I feel much better now than I did just now. It doesn't seem to get worse for a while. This place is full of aura, and there is no true god to make trouble from it, with the effect of weak water three-bead milk tea and the god ruler of the heavens, maybe it won't take a few days, and the nine absolute heart-loving ants themselves can't stand it, and they turn to flee away. ”
Ye Haotian didn't want to leave the slightest regret, and insisted on doing it now. He was worried that once he settled down, he didn't know when he would wake up, and if he woke up and didn't see Lan'er, wouldn't it be a pity for the ages?
Lan'er couldn't resist him, so she had to drink a bowl of weak water and three beads of milk tea first, and then sit down cross-legged with the prison god ruler in her hand.
Judging from the situation just now, there is not only one of the Nine Absolute Heart-Loving Ants, but they are divided into nine groups, which inhabit the liver, spleen, and kidneys, and each organ forms three forces, adding up to a total of nine.
Comparatively speaking, Ye Haotian was relatively familiar with the three paths that came from the kidneys, so he decided to operate on them first.
After De Lan'er concentrated on protecting the liver and spleen, Ye Haotian sat behind her, pressing his palms on her left and right kidneys, slowly exuding Haoran righteousness.
True Qi condensed and did not disperse, like an invisible hand, holding a fist-sized kidney into it, and like a fine net, netting the Nine Absolute Heart-Loving Ants inside. Subsequently, the true qi descended along the Zushao Yin and Kidney meridians, led the heart-loving ants all the way down, passed through Dahe, crossed the transverse bones, passed through the Yin Valley, walked through the Yin Valley, and went straight down the calves and ankles.
At the beginning, the resistance of the Nine Absolute Heart-Loving Ants was relatively light, and the True Qi consumed by Ye Haotian was also very limited; when the Heart-Loving Ants were forced to the Yin Valley Cave in their knees, their resistance was almost doubled; when they arrived at the Jiaoxin Cave, their resistance was even more powerful; and every inch of the next row became extremely difficult, and the True Qi cost also doubled. Especially after passing the middle of the calf, every inch of each line will cost Ye Haotian a lot of skill.
Ye Haotian did not hesitate to urge the true qi with all his might, and it was not until half an hour later that he forced the Nine Absolute Heart-Loving Ants to the Three Yin Jiao Acupoint above Lan'er's ankles, and then stopped there without moving. At this moment, not only were these heart-loving ants who were forced to leave their kidneys desperately struggling to resist, but even the other six forces lurking in the liver and spleen began to echo each other from afar and were ready to move.
He thought about it for a moment, and soon found the reason. Because the three yin intersections are the intersection of the liver, spleen, and kidney, the meridian qi and blood are blended, and at the same time, they also bring information communication between the nine absolute heart-loving ants, so they can cooperate with each other and echo each other from afar.
After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly made up his mind, and used the technique of cutting the meridians and cutting the pulses, and connected the dots three times not far above the Sanyin Jiao to completely block Lan'er's Zushao Yin and Kidney Meridians. In this way, qi and blood could not pass, and the Nine Absolute Heart Appetite Ants could not return to the kidneys.
Looking sideways at Lan'er, Lan'er smiled head-on, as if appreciating his move.
Drawing the gourd in the same way, Ye Haotian used his power to coerce the three strands and nine absolute heart-loving ants that were latent in the liver, forcing them along the foot syncope yin and liver meridians all the way to the position of the Sanyin intersection acupoint, and then cutting the meridians and cutting off the veins, blocking the liver meridian above the three yin intersection points.
Next, he sealed the Nine Absolute Heart-Loving Ants that were latent in the spleen in the Three Yin Junction.
After doing all this, he slowly withdrew his true qi, stroked Lan'er's smooth and smooth ankles with one hand, and perfectly slender calves, groping back and forth at the intersection of the three yin acupoints, feeling pity and regret in his heart, and said: "No way, this is not an ordinary Gu poison, but a demon insect carefully raised by the true god, it cannot be expelled, it can only be temporarily sealed in a corner." ”
Lan'er tried her luck to look through her whole body, and felt a great lightness between her chest and abdomen, so she stood up and took two steps, stretched her curvy delicate body, and said with a smile: "It's already good to seal it on the ankles! Childe, please see, my Sanyang Sutra is still good, and I move freely, almost the same as a normal person. Isn't it just the Three Yin Sutra, if it's sealed, it's sealed, it's not a big deal if the blood is not smooth. Even if it is sealed for three years and five years, it is a big deal to save oneself and have no worries about life and death. As long as the son doesn't dislike it, it's fine" Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled: "The true god is born with feet, and I want to look up to him." Physically handicapped and strong-willed, strive to forge ahead. ”
Ye Haotian laughed "haha" and said: "It's just hard work, you don't have to be disabled to be strong." You are already a Taiqing god, not to mention breaking your feet, even if you don't have **, you can recover. Besides, three years and five years should be enough, and if I haven't achieved divine skills by then, I will surrender to the true god. It's cool under the big tree, I'm his disciple, he should help you get rid of the Nine Absolute Heart Appetite Ants. ”
Lan'er understands that he is just talking, and he will not give up his ideas easily. In case it comes to the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, he will either sacrifice his life for righteousness, or retreat, and will never succumb to the thief. Thinking that the true god would chase after her at any time, her heart was cold, and she hurriedly said: "The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, the son does his best, I also have to cultivate well, and I must not live up to the adventures of today." ”
Ye Haotian nodded, and immediately began to think about how to absorb the immortal heart in the valley.
Due to the large scope of the Immortal Heart Valley, there are countless birds and beasts, and there are thousands of flowers and trees, if you absorb their immortal hearts one by one, you will not be able to complete it in a lifetime. If you want to absorb the immortal heart on a large scale, you must practice the Taoist kung fu of "the eight extremes of the essence and the heart travels ten thousand thousands", or reach the realm of Buddhism "the light of the Buddha shines and purifies all sentient beings".
With his understanding of Buddhism and Taoism, if he is willing to spend three years and two years of work, it is not difficult to practice these two kinds of kung fu. The problem is that although these kung fu are magical, they are not what he wants to pursue, and even if they are practiced, they are just repeating the old ways of others, which is not a breakthrough, and cannot meet the requirements of breaking through.
He has only one idea in his heart, that is, to create a unique way, reach the peak, reach the realm of communicating heaven and earth, and establish a unique system of Confucian divine skills, so as to legally ensure that Confucianism can stand proudly in the forest of many sects in the heavenly realm, so as to achieve the three-legged pattern of Confucianism, Taoism and interpretation.
To achieve this, he needs to comprehensively summarize his understanding of Confucianism and Confucian cultivation.
Outwardly, Confucian cultivation is manifested in the form of "self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world", which is well known to women and children; in essence, this kind of cultivation can be divided into two aspects: the inner sage and the outer king. Through the enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, he has found a way to transform the outer king into a divine pill, as for the other half of the inner saint, about the inner cultivation and physical training, there are still many places worth excavating, which is also the problem he needs to solve this time.
But how can the Confucian inner sage be refined to the Mahayana realm?
He thought as he stood up, his eyes looking at the misty mountains in the distance, but it was as if he saw nothing.
At this moment, he was completely immersed in his careful thinking, and he was determined not to give up until he broke the maze.
According to the previous descriptions of the three great Confucians and his own experience of continuous searching, it seems that the cultivation of Confucian inner sages can be summarized into three aspects: cultivating the mind, cultivating qi, and refining the spirit.
Let's talk about cultivating the heart first, and cultivating the heart is to meditate and realize, cultivate one's conscience, and refine one's benevolent heart. The so-called benevolence is the love of helping the world, which is the 'Buddha heart' in Buddhism and the 'fairy heart' in Taoism. Buddhists can have the ability to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger by the accumulation of the Buddha's mind alone, so theoretically, the Confucian benevolence should have the same effect, but it has not been developed.
Speaking of practicing qi, practicing qi is to cultivate Haoran righteousness, and then transform the accumulated righteousness into internal force, which is equivalent to the process of Taoist cultivation of the divine pill, the difference is that Taoist alchemy focuses on the dantian, while Confucianism focuses on the mind. Can Confucianism take the heart as its own dantian, and refine the 'Confucian Divine Pill' through the accumulation of Haoran righteousness?
The last is the refining of the gods, and the focus of Confucianism in refining the gods is the mind. If you can cultivate Haoran righteousness to the extreme, coupled with a noble benevolence, the two are combined, born from love, and communicated because of love, you will reach the realm of communicating with heaven and earth and running through Changhong.
For Qi Guan Changhong, he has already had a first glimpse of the door. Whether there is a higher realm where the mighty qi will last forever in the future, he is still unclear.
When he thought of Qi Guan Changhong, he thought of the scene when he met Emperor Atsuto at Ise Jingu, and the vast and boundless warm world that appeared during the meditation that followed.
At that time, he had just comprehended the meaning of being born of love, and tried to sink his mind into the realm of Confucian righteousness and benevolence, feeling that his mind was broadening and broadening, and a sense of peace and tranquility extended from his chest to the sky, from the cherry blossoms in front of the window to the sea hundreds of miles away, from the ground to the sky. Then he felt that his whole body and mind were one with all things in the universe, without distinguishing from each other...... A rainbow rose in the distant sky, getting closer and closer, coming from the horizon, penetrating the house and entering the bottom of the heart!
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, try your best to improve your benevolence, and try to develop the effect of benevolence, so that you can eliminate demons and defeat the enemy like the Buddha's heart, this is the meaning of your cultivation in the Immortal Heart Valley! If you can accomplish this, it can be regarded as a major breakthrough in Confucian exercises." ”
He paced the square steps while thinking, and at the same time said to himself: "If you want to improve your 'benevolence', you must absorb the immortal heart accumulated by the birds, beasts, flowers and trees in the valley. This is really a godsend, let me cultivate my benevolence to the peak!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be happy: "Transform the hearts of birds and beasts into benevolence...... Beast heart, benevolence, human heart, animal heart, human face and beast heart...... Oh, no...... It should be a heart-to-heart and a heart-to-heart...... Heart-to-heart, heart-to-heart...... Let the heart be full of love, communicate with love, and communicate the ...... of heaven and earth"
Lan'er watched him walk around unwillingly, giggling from time to time, and couldn't help but feel funny. Because she didn't dare to interrupt Ye Haotian's train of thought, she could only cover her mouth with her hand and watch quietly.
Ye Haotian thought about it persistently, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became: "Born because of love, the qi runs through the chest, the chest gives birth to stratus clouds, the clouds are steaming, and they turn into a long rainbow,...... Changhong is full of mountains, touching the heavens and the earth,...... Changhong fills the Immortal Heart Valley, and the heart of the beast in the valley turns into benevolence! Yes, this is the way of thinking!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and his heart was very happy.
Confucianism's Qi Changhong is very similar to Taoism's "Eight Extremes of Essence, Mind Travel" and Buddhism's "Buddha's Light Shines, Pudu Sentient Beings", which can achieve the effect of communicating with thousands of living beings at the same time in an instant. Knowing this, his heart was much more relaxed, and the next step was to take the medicine as ordered.
But it's not so easy to catch the medicine as ordered.
Maybe because he was too excited, he couldn't calm down after trying hard for a long time.
When he finally calmed down, he was surprised to find that he couldn't enter the realm of Qi Piercing Changhong no matter what!
"How could it be? Impossible! How did you get in before? Why can't you do it now?"
He asked himself repeatedly in his heart, and after thinking for a long time, he thought of only one reason: "The reason why I was able to do it before may be because of Houtu Niangniang, it was she who opened the window of love and let me experience the unprecedented feeling of encompassing heaven and earth; ”
The three days passed quickly.
He tried his best, but he still didn't make much progress.
At this moment, there was already a sound of knocking and banging outside the Immortal Heart Valley, and it sounded as if the true god was exploring the way, and it wouldn't be long before he would come in.
"He's coming so fast!" Ye Haotian's heart burned.
Lan'er also heard the voice coming from outside the valley, her ruddy face turned pale, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her lips trembled a little, but the words she said were: "Don't worry, son, if you want to have an epiphany, you must go with the flow." Life and death are fateful, and it is useless to be anxious. ”
Ye Haotian knew that she was right, so he reluctantly suppressed his uneasy mood, sat down cross-legged, and kept chanting silently in his heart: "Benevolence is love, love is benevolence...... I love the world, I love the mountains and rivers, I love birds and beasts...... Hey, why doesn't it work......"
Suddenly, a lark flew up to it, chirping, as if to say something.
Ye Haotian turned his mind to the lark, only to hear it ask, "What do you say is love?"
He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect a little bird to ask such a question, so he replied casually: "Love is a feeling from the heart, and what you want is simple and natural, it doesn't seem to be so exquisite, right?"
As a result, the lark fluttered and flapped its wings and flew away, and when he left, he glanced in the direction where Lan'er was, and left a sentence: "You don't know what love is, you can only talk flatteringly, duplicity, it's okay to deceive the little girl!"
Ye Haotian almost fainted when he heard this: "A mad bird, what do you know?"
After a while, the sika deer also ran over: "What is love? Can you tell me?"
Ye Haotian didn't dare to answer casually anymore, and after thinking about it for a while, he replied: "Love is selfless dedication, and you don't hesitate to give up everything you have for the happiness of others." ”
The sika deer flashed big eyes, as if moved: "Is there anything else?"
Ye Haotian felt a little hopeful, looked back at Lan'er, and then gushed out: "Love is a wisp of autumn wind blowing in the heat. Love is the comfort of the drizzle of March when it falls on your face. Love is fire, and she can melt the ice of the world. Love is ice, she can freeze all good memories......"
The sika deer shook her head in disappointment and left without saying a word.
Ye Haotian felt very frustrated, these words were beautiful enough, but they were still useless.
"Alas, how can birds and beasts know how to love?" he sighed deeply.
An old monkey staggered over and squeaked as he went, "Young man, do you want me to teach you a lesson?"
Ye Haotian looked at the old monkey noncommittally, really doubting that it could have any high opinions.
The old monkey seemed very dissatisfied with his attitude, shook his head and said, "Love is first and foremost respect! ”
Ye Haotian thought that the other party was reprimanding him, and he was even more unhappy in his heart, and he reluctantly made a humble look on his face, and said: "Love still pays attention to respect? ”
The old monkey did not get angry, but glanced at him and said: "Respect life! Whether it is an ant or the supreme king, you need to be respected by others! Life is the most precious." In order to save a life, no matter how great the cost is, we will not hesitate to do it! Only by respecting life can we understand love!"
Ye Haotian's heart moved: "It talks about love, but in fact, it is 'benevolence'." The so-called 'benevolence' must first of all respect life! Only by putting life in the first place can we be truly 'benevolent'! If it is said that officials casually bully the people and beat people to death for the sake of trivial matters, then it is not a 'benevolent' government! For hundreds of thousands of people who die on the battlefield, only those who die will be compensated, and those who are captured will be better off than dead, and that is by no means a 'benevolent' way!
Thinking of this, he bowed deeply to the old monkey and said very sincerely: "Thank you, Master Monkey, the disciple has been taught." ”
The old monkey nodded, put on the appearance of being a good teacher, and then said: "Respect is inseparable from equality, and equality is the foundation of respect! Whether it is a cat, a dog, or a human, they are all equal in soul." Love without equality is not true love, but wishful almsgiving. If you feel superior to the beings in the valley, you will never be able to receive their love. ”
Ye Haotian's heart shook violently, and he blurted out, "How do you know that I want to collect the immortal heart in the valley?"
The old monkey looked at him with deep feelings, and said with a smile: "Not only you, but every living being in the valley is always absorbing the immortal hearts of others! If you want to succeed, you must integrate yourself into this system." Teach you another hand: 'True love does nothing, let it be.' If you interfere with the freedom of others under the guise of 'love', that kind of love is better than nothing!"
Ye Haotian felt incredible, and his heart was strongly shocked: "To understand 'benevolence', we must respect life! To practice benevolent government, equality and freedom are inseparable! Confucius said: 'Loyalty and forgiveness are not far from disobedience, and if you do not want to do to others, do not do to others.'" That is, the requirement of forgiveness must be based on the premise that others are equal in personality with oneself. It seems that the Confucianism of later generations has gone too far! Looking back at the reality of Middle-earth, 'equality' is only a lie in the mouths of high-ranking officials and nobles, and the common people are bound within a radius of 100 miles, and if they leave the countryside, they are 'exiles' and 'thugs', which obviously deviates from the way of benevolence and righteousness mentioned by the sages......
The old monkey was very satisfied when he looked at his sudden realization, and while turning to greet the Blue Sea Golden-eyed Beast, he raised his voice and said: "This is the place where Pangu is resting, and the ancestors of all birds and beasts were created by Pangu himself. I am the only remaining Elder of the Monkey Realm, and teaching you both hands is also a fate for you and me. ”
Ye Haotian was pleasantly surprised, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Monkey Master! If there are any other novelties, pass them on to me!"
The old monkey waved his hand and bared his teeth and said, "Insatiable! Learn and use these things alive, enough for you to enter and exit the Immortal Heart Valley!" After speaking, he staggered away.
Ye Haotian was overjoyed, jumped to Lan'er's side, stretched out his arms and hugged her, and said with a smile: "It's done, I've found a way to practice 'Rengong'!"
Lan'er was also happy for him, her delicate red lips approached, kissed him on the face, and just wanted to speak with a smile on her eyebrows, when she suddenly trembled, and her hands and feet became cold, because she heard the voice of the true god.
At this moment, the laughter of the true god kept coming from outside the valley: "Shenzhouzi, I'm here!" I also brought a pot of wine, ready to drink with you at dusk, don't you run around!"
