Chapter 8: The Way of Nature, the Way of Acquired(1/2)
Just to become enlightened, do you have to kill all living beings in the entire past time and space? Do you have to kill people you don't know at all?
So will he betray Da Qin in the future in order to achieve enlightenment? Or even betray his own conscience and his own ideas?
In order to achieve enlightenment anyway, so what?
But in Qu Da's opinion, this is no longer for enlightenment, but for going crazy!
Seeing Qu Da's confused yet determined look, Bai Qi nodded affirmatively: "Not bad, not bad, you are very good."
Hearing this, Qu Da still didn't know that it was just a test, but he was lucky enough to pass it, and his position as general should be stable this time.
However, Qu Da is an honest man after all, and his character cannot be lost: "I just adhere to the ideals of the empire, but what on earth will sir do?"
"As I said before, this kind of sublimation of killing into disaster and misfortune is what those monks on the side of heaven often do! And I am still a person after all, even if I already have the Tao Lord at this moment
In the world, there is no difference between the karma position and the Dao Lord, but I am still a person, at best a stronger person! But a person is a person, not an immortal, not a god, nor a monster."
This is actually a matter of choice!
There is no comparison between superior and inferior!
For the monks on the side of heaven, if they can achieve enlightenment by killing a completely unknown person, that would be a great thing.
But according to humane ethics, it is wrong to kill innocent people indiscriminately at any time!
As for killing one person and saving ten thousand people, it also needs to be considered based on the specific situation and cannot be simply discussed as right or wrong.
Human life, human rights, and personal health have always been very controversial!
"What's more, I have never felt that the way of nurture is inferior to the way of innateness!" Bai Qi said firmly.
What is Xiantian Avenue?
What is Houtian Avenue?
Could it be said that what is born before the world is innate?
What is born after the birth of the world is the day after tomorrow?
This method is certainly not accurate enough!
Just like the Daode Tianzun is the incarnation of Li Er, or Li Er is the incarnation of the Daode Tianzun!
It may be that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a mortal named Li Er became powerful. After becoming more and more powerful, he returned to the past, modified the past, and gave himself the status of a moral god.
It may also be that the Moral God has existed since the beginning of the world. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, at the invitation of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, he descended to earth and was reincarnated as Li Er, to educate the human race and teach them the path to heaven.
In the small world and the big world where you can play with time, history is meaningless, and all history is contemporary history!
At this time, the role of history is to infer the strength of the major forces in the world from the values in the history books!
So the question is, what is the difference between the innate path and the acquired path?
At this moment, Qu Da pricked up his ears and listened carefully to what Bai Qi said.
"It's not intuitive enough to talk about the difference between the two directly, so I will use the previous prehistoric world as an example to analyze it."
"The current history of the prehistoric world can be divided into the ancient era of gods, the ancient era of divine rule, the modern era of three emperors and five emperors, and the modern era of great Qin."
"Among them, the ancient era of gods is a typical innate era. The ancient divine court stage can also be regarded as the innate era. At that time, the innate avenues filled the world, and understanding the innate avenues can be said to be a rapid development!"
"Since the beginning of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Houtian Dao has progressed rapidly. After His Majesty unified the world, Houtian Dao has officially occupied the mainstream position!"
"At this moment, the difficulty of comprehending the Great Way of Innateness is a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times that of the previous era! But the difficulty of comprehending the Great Way of Houtian has been greatly reduced!"
"In addition, those Dao Lords who practice the Innate Dao can always maintain their strength no matter what stage the world is in, while those Dao Lords who practice the Acquired Dao can only maintain their prosperity during the period when the Acquired Dao flourishes.
The strength of that time!”
What you practice is the acquired financial path!
Is it awesome?
Anyone who has experienced the urban technology era, experienced the stock market myth, experienced the bull market and the bear market will know that the financial avenue is really amazing!
This thing is simply not human, it is a devil or an angel. It can make people rich overnight, but it can also make people jump off the rooftop overnight!
Another Taoist master cultivated the Dao of Capital, created his own Theory of Capital, and became the founder of capitalists. Is he great?
It goes without saying how powerful this thing of capital is!
No one can deny the power of capital!
But is it useful for you to talk about capital and finance in the ancient age of gods?
It cannot be said that it is completely useless, but at least the effect is far worse than that of the later urban era!
This is the flaw of Houtian Dao!
In the era when Hou Tian was prosperous, Hou Tian Dao was invincible, killing people and killing Buddhas when people blocked it. However, in the era when Hou Tian was just born, the effect of Hou Tian Dao naturally withered.
But Xiantian Dao is different!
The way of creation!
In the ancient age of gods, it was the best path in the world!
In the era of Shenting's rule, it is still the first-class path!
In an era when humanity is flourishing, it is still the first-class path!
Even in the urban age of the material world and the future interstellar age of the material world, the way of creation is still the best way in the world!
Who dares to say that scientists are not important?
Who dares to say that inventors are not important?
This is the way of creation, this is the way of innateness!
The most important feature of the Innate Way is that no matter which era it comes from, it is very powerful and can always remain in a relatively powerful state!
And the way of acquiring things changes with the development of the times!
If you are in a capitalist country and in the capitalist stage, your capital road is the best road in the world. Maybe in a certain period of time, the capital road will be the first road in the world!
But when society develops to the socialist stage, the avenue of capital naturally languishes, and the effect is not as good as before!
"And the simple way of war is the way of tomorrow. When wars, especially large-scale wars, occur frequently, this way is the best in the world. However, when the era of peace comes, this way will be shelved and will no longer be at its peak.
."
"So those who follow the path of war often take the opportunity to change careers. Generally, the direction of their career change is the innate path of calamity and bad luck. In war, killing is the mainstream, but in calamity and misfortune, killing is still the mainstream. People who use killing are
characteristics to change careers!”
"But this path is not my path! And simply taking the road of war to achieve enlightenment has great limitations, so I thought about sublimating the second path again!" At this point, Bai Qi raised his hand.
He raised his two fingers and made a two sign.
At this moment, Qu naturally became excited. He suddenly felt like witnessing history, and a sense of sacredness arose spontaneously!
If this path succeeds, can I also imitate Lord Wu An and become an innate Tao Lord?
"Take Sun Tzu's Art of War as an example. The handed down version of this book is mainly based on concepts. The actual specific layout and specific measures for fighting are almost non-existent."
"This leads to the fact that anyone can read it and then talk about their own opinions. Over time, whether it is arty or really reads it, this has created a phenomenon, that is, Sun Tzu's Art of War is
The most widely disseminated military manual!"
Although there are no detailed fighting measures in this military book, after reading this military book, you will not know how to fight, you will not know how to camp, you will not know how to choose a place to camp, you will not know how to defend a city, and you will not know how to attack a city.
, what you will know are some concepts that seem to make sense!
As for these concepts, no one can say that there is anything wrong with them!
"Even in peaceful times, there are still a group of businessmen boasting about it, claiming to understand Sun Tzu's Art of War, and claiming that they have successfully applied Sun Tzu's Art of War to commercial struggles!"
"At first, I didn't like this phenomenon. What are they pretending to do? Sun Tzu's Art of War is for marshals to read. Generals are not suitable to read Sun Tzu's Art of War. Generals are suitable to read the new book of Ji Xiao.
A military manual that teaches you how to train, how to line up, how to fight, and how to charge into battle!"
"Throughout the ages, how many marshals have there been in this world? Dozens at most! The rest are just good generals at best!"
Hearing this, Qu Da just smiled and said nothing!
Bai Qi's evaluation of Sun Wuzi is only because Bai Qi is qualified to do so! But this does not mean that you, Qu Da, are also qualified to evaluate him!
Qu Da knew this very well, so he smiled and expressed neither approval nor objection!
"But then I figured it out. This is the genius of Sun Wuzi! The Art of War successfully applied the military philosophy to business. Even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can use his philosophy. If
To exaggerate a bit, the concepts in this military book can also be used in the workplace and even in life!"
Qu Da: "Hiss!"
At this moment, Qu Da couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, because from Bai Qi's speech, he inferred a surprising fact, that is, Sun Wuzi had already realized the day after tomorrow without knowing when.
The transformation from the great road to the innate great road!
"Sun Wuzi's approach gave me a great inspiration. The concept of war has never been limited to war, and can be applied to any place where there are disputes!"
Whenever there is a dispute, war-related concepts can be used!
Street fights can be used, bloody battles in shopping malls can be used, corporate wars can be used, and even intrigues in the harem can be used to draw on relevant concepts!
To be continued...
