"Which Dao Ancestor is this?" Shi Xuan didn't recognize this man in white clothes and white robes, who looked like he was not stained with any dust, but the shocking sword energy just now that seemed to be able to split the void universe into two was Shi Xuan's life.
I can only see that it is definitely not something that a sword cultivator in the realm of heretical practice can produce. Regarding this point, although he has abandoned swords for more than 10,000 years, Shi Xuan's knowledge of swordsmanship still exists, and he has personally experienced Taozu's moves, so
It is directly suspected that this white-robed man is the sword cultivator whose whereabouts are a mystery and whose true identity is unknown to the world.
Fifty-six golden immortals, five lords of creation, twenty-seven realms, plus the special Jiuyou and Beidou. Not every golden immortal Taoist has opened a dojo in the world, and some have already
I was used to being alone, so I accepted disciples and taught the Dharma just as I felt like it, and I just did it casually.
Although there is an ancestor of life and death behind his family, when facing a golden immortal, Shi Xuan still replied respectfully: "This junior is Shi Xuan. I wonder if senior has any advice? In addition, I dare to ask my senior's name."
The man in white robe did not turn around and said calmly: "Do you know the basis of the theory of sect cultivation?"
However, he did not answer Shi Xuan's last question.
This man in white robe had an ordinary aura, but he had an awe-inspiring momentum. Shi Xuan did not dare to ask more questions and answered honestly: "Everything in the universe, from the stars in the world to the ants in dust, are all derived from the Tao.
, it is just that due to various acquired contaminations, it has gradually deviated from its true self. The process of cultivation is to eliminate acquired contaminations, return to one's true nature, and get closer to the 'Tao'."
This foundation of Taoist theory comes from the masters of creation in the past and has been widely circulated. It is recorded in many classics and is an outline of spiritual practice. Shi Xuan not only saw it in various classics, but also formally worshiped Mo Yuan as his disciple.
He had to explain it in detail, plus he had achieved the soul and cut off the false experience, so he answered casually without any unfamiliarity or hesitation.
The man in white robe did not nod or shake his head, but stood with his hands behind his back. He continued to ask: "Does the great road have a nature?"
Shi Xuan has always practiced in a down-to-earth manner without any ambition. He has never thought about the foundation of Taoism from this perspective. He was a little stunned for a moment and couldn't help but recall every bit of his past practice and his various understandings of Taoism.
The man in white robe didn't rush him, he just waited quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Shi Xuan integrated all the insights into one. After pondering for a moment, he carefully said every word and sentence: "The Great Way embraces everything. It has no nature and contains all natures. Therefore, the Great Way is not benevolent and regards all things as a target. Equality is virtue."
, seeing one’s nature is merit.”
The man in white robe did not refute and asked again: "Do you have close friends, confidants, respected elders, and beloved disciples?"
Shi Xuan didn't know why he asked this, but thinking of his master Mo Yuan, Granny Yu, Xu Zhenjun, Meng Nichang, Mo Jingqiu, Chu Wan'er, Xia Jing, Jian Tonghui, Kong Ran, etc., he still said seriously: "Junior, there are
Quite a few.”
The man in white robe raised his head slightly, looked at the dark void above, and asked flatly: "If they have a dispute with you, or block your way, what will you do?"
Shi Xuan has thought about this problem for a long time: "Compete equally, don't give in to each other, don't harm each other, everyone depends on their ability."
"Stupid." The man in white robe did not ask a question for the first time, but evaluated Shi Xuan's answer in just two words.
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "The nature of this junior is like this, even if you are stupid, it is your own path."
The man in white robe slowly said: "What is a friend?"
Without waiting for Shi Xuan's reaction, he answered on his own: "Anyone who can make you happy, moved, comfortable and other emotional thoughts is a good friend."
"What is a confidant's beauty? A beauty that can bring about joy, mutual admiration, satisfaction and other emotional thoughts in your mind is a confidant's beauty."
"What are your wife's relatives and friends? Those who can make your soul feel comfortable, satisfied, and happy, and protect them, and bring you all kinds of satisfaction, self-affirmation, and self-sublimation from the sense of responsibility, are your wife's relatives and friends."
"What is a respected elder? Those whose teachings make you rely on, feel happy, moved, and want to repay your admiration are considered respected elders."
…
Shi Xuan was shaken as he spoke every word. He actually analyzed all the relationships one by one from his own perspective and made novel arguments. There was a hint of coldness in the mystery, which made Shi Xuan feel a chill.
"What is an enemy? Anyone who threatens you and makes you angry, aggrieved, or murderous is an enemy."
"All of these are caused by one's own emotions and thoughts. They may seem real, but they are all false!"
"You have cultivated to the realm of Daluo, are you still unable to control your own emotions and thoughts, and are affected by all kinds of illusions?!"
Although it was said in a plain and simple way, the words spoken by the man in white robes really had a deafening feeling of feedback, which made Shi Xuan feel like he was given a slap in the face.
You will be sweating coldly and sweating profusely.
But in this feeling, Shi Xuan also had a slight sense of contradiction and dissonance.
"Everything in the world becomes clear because of what I feel, and becomes real because of my emotions. As long as I can control my own state of mind and emotions, what can't I kill?"
The man in white robe continued to ask questions.
"My best friends, as long as I can control my state of mind and cut off emotional thoughts such as joy, emotion, and comfort, they will be like passers-by. Why can't I kill them?"
"My confidant, my beauty, as long as I can control my state of mind and cut off the emotional thoughts of joy, compatibility, satisfaction, etc., they will be nothing but bones and skeletons. Why can't I kill them?"
"My wife, relatives and friends, as long as I can control my state of mind and cut off emotional thoughts such as comfort, satisfaction, happiness, self-satisfaction, self-affirmation, self-sublimation, etc., they will be no different from all other creatures. Why can't I kill them?"
…
"Besides me, there is no one else. Even if it is not a dispute between the great ways, what can't be killed?"
"The reason why you shirk your true nature and dare not kill is because you can't bear all these illusions and obsessions. That's why I call you stupid."
The white-robed man's voice was still calm and smooth. It didn't seem like he was talking about all kinds of terrible things, but rather like he was chatting with Shi Xuan about his life ideals.
He turned around slowly, revealing his extremely handsome face, looked at Shi Xuan, and said calmly and calmly: "Today, you still can't understand?!"
Shi Xuan Yuanshen seemed to have been hit by waves of shocks. He felt that this was the true path, but also felt that it was ridiculous.
"He, who exactly is he?!"
Shi Xuan's thoughts were rising and falling, and from sentence to sentence, he could guess who this white-robed man was!
He is the man who is rumored to be so murderous that no picture scroll, jade slip, or immortal consciousness can bear his image. Only when you see it with your own eyes can you know his appearance. From ancient times to the present, he is the most legendary figure in the void universe.
He is the Taoist Yujing who proves the Tao through killing and creates another creation!
Shi Xuan looked at Taoist Yujing, and for a moment he didn't know what to understand or how to answer.
Taoist Yujing put his hands on his back and walked parallel to Shi Xuan. He looked at the void above and said calmly: "Everything in the world is born from the great road. It is very close to the great road. It is only because of being contaminated by acquired things that it deviates from itself. Only by exploring everything, can we
Only then can we be close to the main road."
"But at this point, we are still close to the Dao. If we want to be true to the Dao, there is still a final obstacle."
"The great road has no nature, so the last and greatest obstacle is yourself, your nature."
"If you don't kill yourself, how can you talk about emptying your true nature and combining it with the Tao?"
"It is very simple to kill external objects caused by one's own emotions and thoughts, but self-existence is also an obsession. Can you kill it?"
The tone was calm and the lingering sound was lingering, but Shi Xuan felt extremely shocked and looked at Taoist Yujing in a daze.
