Chapter 694: Explanation of Contradictions
Wang Po now had a strong interest in Ye Feng, but of course it was not a sexual interest. She said, "Then what does Mr. Ye Yi think about today's immortality after reading the literature and books in Wenlou?"
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: "The knowledge of the seniors is far better than that of the juniors. I'd better stop trying to do the same thing."
Gu Xun'er was slightly shocked. Ye Feng's knowledge had been taught by him, and Wang Po was just a servant in the literary building. Ye Feng actually said that her knowledge was far better than his. How could this not surprise Gu Xun'er. But Gu Xun'er was surprised.
Xun'er believed that what Ye Feng said was by no means unfounded. Could it be that Wang Po was a sweeping monk like in "Dragon"?
Wang Po shook her head and said: "Mr. Ye Yi is being too modest. I just want to hear your opinion."
Ye Feng glanced at Grandma Wang, stood up, bowed respectfully to her, and said, "That junior has made a fool of himself. If there is anything inappropriate in what he said, senior Wanwang will correct it in time. This junior will definitely benefit a lot."
At this time, Grandma Wang's attitude towards Ye Feng had greatly changed. She nodded slightly, with admiration in her eyes. Huaxia culture has placed the first priority on "rituals" since ancient times. It is indeed valuable to be rich in knowledge and talented, but the most rare thing is
Being humble and polite, respecting teachers and teaching, this Ye Yi really impressed me.
"Junior generation believes that whether it is literary Tao or today's Immortal Tao, the real purpose is to pursue the truth at the end of the Tao. It's just that the expression is different. At this point, Immortal Tao is directly naked. Immortal Tao uses immortality as bait.
It has led countless people to flock to the immortal way. However, in countless years, there are only a few people who can truly understand the truth and reach the end of the way. This is a matter of probability. Therefore, human beings' fear of death is used to use immortality as bait to increase the population base of seekers.
This is undoubtedly a very wise and smart choice. But here is the problem
As we all know, there are many kinds of power in this world, such as spiritual power, divine power, magic power, demon power, witch power, Yin power, etc. Judging from the historical documents of Wenlou, a long time ago, all these powers in the world had
They have their own cultivation system, so a long time ago they had a common name called "cultivator". But now everyone can only call it "immortal cultivator". That's because after several so-called "cultivators" in the literature
During the "Great Disaster" or the "Great Tribulation of the End of the Dharma", except for the immortal cultivation system, almost all other cultivation systems have disappeared. As a result, everyone can only follow the immortal path. Therefore, everyone calls themselves immortal cultivators.
The spiritual power is not bad, but it is not difficult to understand that others who forcibly follow the path of cultivating immortals cannot reach the realm of the Emperor of Heaven.
But it is indeed detrimental to the practice of Taoism. Just like in the history of China, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the period of contention of a hundred schools of thought. It was an era when different schools of thought emerged and families and schools competed for prominence. It was also the most intense period of thought and culture.
A glorious era with twinkling stars. During that period, hundreds of schools of thought challenged each other and argued with each other, creating an unprecedented academic situation. It occupied an important position in the history of the development of Chinese thought. It was the era when academics were most prosperous. If
If this world is really just about pursuing the end of the Tao, it is actually the most beneficial situation for a hundred schools of thought to contend. Comparing the inheritance and development of each monastic system can increase the number of ways to reach the end of the Tao, so the probability will naturally be greater. But this is not the case today.
In this way, this has to remind people of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who implemented the policy of "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism" in the history of China. This indeed created the glory of Confucianism, but also cut off the survival of other schools of thought. A hundred schools of thought contended
The prosperity has ceased. The reason is simply that it is convenient for rulers to rule their thoughts and use them for their own use. Therefore, the kings in history were all Confucianism and Taoism. This is the reason. Then by analogy, why there are only Immortal Taoism in the world today.
Along the way, did someone do it deliberately? Is it the immortal way that is conducive to the rule of the real ruler above the Emperor of Heaven? Are the so-called major disasters really just natural disasters? Is it possible that man-made disasters are secretly causing trouble inside?
Why did you choose the immortal way..."
At this time, Ye Feng caught a glimpse of Gu Xun'er looking at him in confusion. Gu Ying was swaying from side to side, shaking her head, and her head was smoking.
Ye Feng scolded Gu Ying, "Sit down, it's a girl's house, you can't stand well or sit well."
Gu Ying was startled by the scolding. She quickly adjusted herself and sat down. She lowered her head and admitted her mistake and said, "I know, Dad."
Gu Xun'er suddenly pulled Gu Ying into her arms and glared at Ye Feng, "The child is still young, why are you so mean!"
Ye Feng was dumbfounded for an instant and sighed deeply. When he turned back to look at Mrs. Wang, he saw that Mrs. Wang was smiling at him.
Because when Grandma Wang saw the scene in front of her, she really looked like a family of three, a stern father, a naughty and playful daughter, and a mother who doted on her daughter too much.
Ye Feng cupped his hands in front of Grandma Wang and said with a wry smile: "Senior will laugh at you."
Wang Po shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter."
Ye Feng turned back to Gu Ying and said: "Xiao Ying, you have to remember that reading history can make you wise, and only by knowing the past can you learn about the present. History is not useless, and sometimes it is even crucial. So you should read more in the future, especially history books.
,Do you understand?"
"Dad, Xiaoying knows." Gu Ying replied
Looking at Gu Ying, Ye Feng finally smiled and nodded.
Ye Feng turned back and continued: "Just now, why the only remaining thing is the Immortal Way, we have to start with the Immortal Way itself. In fact, the Immortal Way is a path with a serious logical problem. For example, one of the common sense rules is that a low realm cannot defeat a high realm.
Immortal cultivators, that’s why people work hard to improve their realm. However, geniuses in the world of immortality fight across one realm, and there are peerless geniuses like Xun’er who fight across two realms, and there are quite a few of them. This in itself is
The logical contradictions can be explained by the level of skills, treasures, and formations. However, if the realm of cultivating immortals is numerically quantified, it is theoretically impossible to achieve the size of a large realm, but it is actually
It really exists. For example, there is another rule that it is impossible to master the exclusive skills of the corresponding realm without reaching a realm, and some people have broken it. There are still many contradictions like this, but even if there are so many contradictions, some people
Reaching the realm of domination shows that this road can indeed reach the end of the road. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to change to a path with less contradictions? Natural selection is a replica of the world's law of the jungle, and it is the way of heaven, but such a contradiction is full of contradictions.
It is the most unreasonable to survive on this path. And this contradiction is also one of the reasons why we often say that cultivating immortals is a road that defies heaven and leads to a narrow escape from death. So what is the problem?"
