Chapter 259 Taiqing taught the Taoist Scriptures [Please vote for the third update!]
Dong, Dongchuang incident happened?!
What he said to deceive Emperor Xuanyuan was heard by the leader of Taiqing?
Li Ping'an's Adam's apple trembled up and down, and he refrained from kneeling down and kowtowed. He kept his bowing posture, and several options quickly emerged in his mind, but he quickly rejected these options.
'Nothing can be hidden from Senior Brother Taiqing.'
Fight!
Li Ping'an said loudly: "Therefore! The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage; the way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage."
"good."
Taiqing Laozi's eyes had no light, he just stared at Li Ping'an and said slowly:
"The way of the world is like that of stretching a bow. Those who are high suppress it, and those who are low lift it up; those who have more damage will lose it, and those who have less will make up for it. Therefore, the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage; the way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage.
.Who can have more than enough to take and enshrine it in heaven? Is this a Taoist person?"
Li Ping'an was a little confused for a moment and could only lower his head and keep bowing.
Lao Tzu asked again: "This sutra only exists in my heart and has not yet been spread to the world. Where did you hear it?"
'The boy had a sudden idea?'
Li Ping'an really wanted to answer like this, but he stuck to his true intentions, examined his own nature, traced his true nature, and decided to deal with the truth.
He said: "Master, uncle, I heard this sutra narrated when I was young! I am stupid and can only remember a few sentences!"
Lao Tzu said: "Memorize all the scriptures you know."
"yes!"
Li Ping'an sorted out the sentences related to the "Tao Te Ching" in his memory, and discovered to his surprise that he had actually used many scriptures long ago.
I only said this, perhaps because after he came into contact with Emperor Xuanyuan, I focused my attention on him, an 'unknown person'.
Now that he has embarked on this path of 'seeking the truth', Li Ping'an did not dare to hide anything and recited slowly:
"Tao is the Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao. The name is the name, but it is not the eternal name. Wu is the beginning of all things. Being is the mother of all things. Therefore, there is no desire, so as to see its wonder...
"
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and treat all things as rudderless dogs. The saints are unkind, and regard the common people as rudderless dogs..."
"The best good is like water. Water is good for all things and has tranquility. It is disliked by everyone..."
"Everything in the world is born from existence, and existence is born from nothingness. Tao generates one, one creates two, two generates three, and three generates all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang, and the qi in the middle is considered to be in harmony."
…
Li Ping'an memorized more than a dozen paragraphs in a row, and they were all the contents that impressed him the most and remembered them most clearly.
He kept reciting it like this, and a strange feeling came over his heart.
"Traveling through the prehistoric times, I recited the Tao Te Ching for the Taiqing Laozi"?
The scriptures of the "Tao Te Ching" that impressed him most were mostly "Tao Jing" rather than "Te Jing". The former contains the mysterious Tao, while the latter mostly contains principles of governing the world. It is originally the study of the inner sage and the outer king.
Gradually, Li Pingan's words paused, his eyes became more thoughtful, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
Wisps of mysterious Taoist charm surrounded him.
Li Ping'an actually recited the scriptures in front of Taiqing Laozi that Taiqing Laozi had not mentioned to anyone, and then... began to realize the Tao on the spot.
Even though he was quiet and inactive, the leader of the Three Purities, Taiqing, couldn't help but frown slightly at this moment and looked at Li Ping'an's figure carefully.
After a while, Taiqing nodded slightly, and his thin fingers that seemed to be outside the world gave a little light to Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an sat cross-legged and meditated naturally, and dozens of chapters of scripture began to echo in his heart.
"You know there is something wrong with the scriptures, but this is the original version."
Li Ping'an was refreshed.
Although he still doesn't know if he has passed this level, the opportunity is before him and he should seize it with all his strength!
So I calmly comprehended it and wrote down these dozens of chapters of scripture in detail.
Gradually, he fell into a deeper state of enlightenment, forgetting both things and myself, embracing the essence and returning to one, and leaving all external things behind.
Seven days of light and shadow passed.
Nuwa has returned to the Notre Dame Palace and does not wait here any longer.
Immortal light appeared around Li Ping'an, and the Tao realm actually broke through the first level, while a faint shadow of a Tai Chi diagram slowly appeared behind him.
He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes as clear as an ancient well, and there was still some thought in his eyes.
"How do you feel?"
The voice of Taiqing Laozi came, and Li Pingan woke up like a dream.
Lao Tzu said: "You still have to fight in the future, so it will not be easy for you to realize the Tao for a long time."
Li Ping'an hurriedly stood up and returned to the posture of bowing: "Thank you, uncle, for preaching!"
"good."
I nodded slightly:
"I know a little bit about the relationship between you and your father. I won't embarrass you about this matter. Since you are here today, I should ask three questions."
"Please show me!"
Lao Tzu asked: "Since I am the Emperor of Heaven, what should I do?"
Li Ping'an thought carefully and carefully for almost half an hour before answering:
"You should suppress the way of heaven for all living beings, you should seek survival for all souls, you should add righteousness to heaven and earth, and you should punish evil spirits from heaven!"
Lao Tzu asked again: "Can good and evil exist in one mind?"
Li Ping'an continued to think, and this time it took more than half an hour before he answered:
“Good and evil exist in one mind, but they do not exist in one mind!
"In terms of life, good and evil natures come from the choice of the heart. Good deeds and evil deeds are not directly related to the nature. Those with evil nature can restrain themselves, and those with good nature can also indulge themselves. Therefore, the good and evil of living beings should be judged by their deeds and not by their hearts.
.
"The thoughts of good and evil exist in the hearts of living beings, but whether this living being is good or evil should be determined by the law!"
I nodded slowly and asked the third question: "If the Emperor of Heaven makes a mistake, who is to blame?"
This question made Li Ping'an stand there and think about it for a long time.
The answers to this question are also varied, such as establishing a complete supervision system, the Emperor of Heaven being guilty of the same crimes as mortals, the rules of Heaven being superior to the Emperor of Heaven, etc.
But when the words came to his lips, Li Pingan felt that these were not appropriate answers.
The law cannot be perfected;
Those in power are best able to find gaps in the law.
After thinking for a long time, Li Ping'an felt a flash of inspiration in his heart and said slowly:
"Disciple, please be brave. If one day the Heavenly Court is established and all the spirits of heaven and earth return to their hearts, please uncle, master, hang a sharp sword over your head!"
I have a little more sparkle in my eyes.
His thin and emotionless face showed a faint smile.
"good."
I said slowly:
"When your heaven is established, I will give you a treasure to protect the heaven and monitor the gods.
"Let's go.
"The words of you and me must not be passed on to the ears. I will cover up the matter of your father and son, and I will set a destiny for all spirits from now on."
"Disciple, please remember my uncle's teachings!"
Li Ping'an lowered his head to answer. The clouds and mist in front of his eyes were changing. When he looked up again, the old Taoist, the small courtyard, and the green cattle had all disappeared. In front of him was only the light blue sky, and not far above his head was the film of heaven and earth.
Everything seemed like a dream.
He thought for a while, and many insights emerged in his heart, and the thirty-six chapters of the scriptures flowed through his heart like flowing water.
This is the "Tao Jing" of the "Tao Te Ching", which contains the great principles of Tai Qing.
Li Ping'an's Taoist heart could not calm down for a long time.
This was the first time that a powerful person revealed the problem between him and his father;
This was also the first time that when he answered a question, he racked his brains and still felt that he did not know much and had not learned enough;
Taiqing Laozi.
The first of the Three Purities, this sense of oppression is indeed too strong.
A bit of fresh air drifted by, and Li Pingan felt his back was quite cool, but he was sweating profusely without realizing it.
Can...can we go back?
Li Ping'an turned around and looked around, but saw the Virgin Mother's figure nowhere to be seen, but saw the young Taoist with an ordinary face and outstanding temperament looking at him with a smile.
"Nephew of the Emperor of Heaven," Master Xuandu said warmly, "Teacher ordered me to take you back to Dongzhou. Let's drive slowly on the clouds."
Li Ping'an said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you very much, uncle."
"Don't be afraid, the teacher is always very kind."
Archmage Xuandu smiled and came over, a cloud of mist appeared under his feet, and floated downwards with Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an gave a desperate fake smile.
The amiable Tai Qing.
…
When the cloud head driven by Master Xuandu arrived in the sky above Dong'an City, Li Ping'an just came back to his senses and let out a long breath.
"Emperor of Heaven, Pindao sent you here."
"Thank you, uncle," Li Ping'an said in response, "Well... uncle, do you have any other instructions?"
Master Xuandu raised his eyebrows slightly: "You have been talking with the teacher for seven days and nights. This matter has been known to all the great powers and supernatural powers in the world. What instructions does the teacher have, and I need to let you know through Pindao?"
Li Ping'an sighed: "Actually, I had an epiphany by chance, and I realized it before my uncle came. Thinking about it, it's really rude."
"It doesn't matter, they don't know that you have been enlightening and practicing for the past seven days."
Master Xuandu raised his hand and patted Li Pingan's shoulder, casually took out a gourd and stuffed it into Li Pingan's hand.
He said: "You keep shouting, Uncle Master, that Pindao has nothing to give you. These pills were refined by Pindao during his training. You can use them... I really want to remind you of something."
Li Pingan hugged the gourd. The elixir inside was quite heavy.
He smiled and said: "Master, please speak."
"Don't get too involved in the Dao Immortal Tribulation."
Archmage Xuandu groaned a few times:
"If the teacher can preach to you, it means that the teacher is optimistic about you becoming the Emperor of Heaven.
"You are the Emperor of Heaven, the spokesperson of Heavenly Dao, and the Dao Immortal Tribulation is the struggle between Heavenly Dao and Dao Sect Immortals for control of the Dao. The reason for the Dao Immortal Tribulation is that Heavenly Dao needs to release the Dao from the hands of living beings.
"If you interfere too deeply here, I'm afraid you will be in a dilemma in the future, and the teacher will not be happy."
Li Ping'an blinked: "Master, what you are saying is that I don't want to get too close to Chan Jiao or Jie Jiao?"
"No, it's also a good thing that you are close to the Taoist Immortal."
Master Xuandu said slowly:
"What Pindao means is that you should not plan for the Taoist Immortal Tribulation, nor should you try to arrange the two religions.
"Although Pindao has lived on the edge of the Sea of Chaos for a long time, he can still use part of the power of Tai Chi Diagram and has secretly observed you for a period of time.
"You are a good human being at heart, which is the most gratifying thing for me, but sometimes you also add unnecessary responsibilities to yourself, which is actually not good.
"The Dao Sect and the Heavenly Dao are bound to be weakened. The Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao are just like the Yin and Yang Pisces. They need to find a balance in constant changes.
"There are shortcomings in the way of heaven, and there are regrets in the way of humanity. This is common sense and cannot be forced."
Li Ping'an lowered his head and bowed: "Thank you, uncle, for reminding me."
"Well, go ahead and come to Xuandu to play when you have time."
Archmage Xuandu put his hands behind his back and chuckled, then looked down at Dong'an City below and said with emotion:
"In ancient times, poor people never dared to imagine that our race could be in such a situation."
After saying this, Master Xuandu bowed to Li Ping'an, and Li Ping'an returned the favor again. The two of them said goodbye from the sky above Dong'an City and left.
Master Xuandu walked in the air, but after only three or two steps, he disappeared.
Li Ping'an fell into the city defense formation below, and Luo Xuejing and her four guards, who had already returned and were waiting, stepped forward to greet him.
Xinghe Xinghan said excitedly:
"Your Majesty! You really went back to Dong'an City directly!"
"It has been spread everywhere that you stayed with the Taiqing leader for seven days and seven nights! Now everyone is saying that the Taoist sect will vigorously support the human heaven!"
"Many big demons in the demon clan have announced that they are going into seclusion!"
Li Ping'an gave an ugly smile: "Quick, give me a hand..."
Several people hurried forward, and Xinghe Xinghan helped Li Ping'an, who was on the verge of collapse.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay," Li Ping'an said quietly, "help me go back and take a nap. I won't see anyone in the next few days...except my master and my father."
"yes!"
Luo Xuejing was a little hesitant to speak.
She actually wanted to ask if other church leaders had sent people to invite them, would they not have shown up either.
But seeing that Li Pingan's face was pale and his breath was weak, Luo Xuejing did not dare to ask any more questions. Together with four personal guards, she sent Li Pingan back to the house to rest.
Li Pingan had a long sleep.
In the dream, he was still reciting the "Tao Jing" and trying to recite it backwards and forwards.
When he woke up, there were only seven or eight days left before sending troops to the Kongmeng Realm.
Li Ping'an stood up and moved around for a while, and Li Dazhi appeared in front of him with a smile, and asked him with shining eyes what he and Taiqing Laozi were talking about.
Although Li Ping'an wanted to talk to his father for a while, but thinking of Lao Tzu's advice, he could only shake his head with a wry smile and give a few general answers.
"The Dharma is not taught to the six ears," Li Ping'an sighed, "Dad, every word and deed of ours is under the watchful eye of the Taiqing leader."
"real or fake?"
Li Dazhi whispered: "Isn't Tianji confused now?"
"Tai Chi Tu knows everything," Li Ping'an sighed, "Don't mention it too much. In short, I have benefited a lot from this time. The biggest gain is that the new heaven of the human race has been endorsed by the Taiqing leader. The Western Church should have more concerns. ."
"More than worrying, people from Western sects have come to send you gifts."
Li Dazhi took out two brocade boxes and threw them in front of Li Pingan.
"This is sent by two disciples of the Western Sect. I took a look at it for you. It contains some spiritual root treasures, which are not good things.
"What else did those two disciples say? The West is barren, and they only have a few small gifts. Congratulations to the Emperor of Heaven, but they made me sick to death.
"However, if you don't hit the smiling man with your hand and don't kill the envoy when the two countries are at war, I still accepted the gift for you."
Li Ping'an opened the brocade box and looked at these two acquired spiritual roots, which were not very rare, and was speechless for a moment.
Is this the deterrent power of Taiqing Laozi?
"Is there an envoy from the Notre Dame Palace?" Li Ping'an asked.
"No," Li Dazhi said, "Do you want to go and tell the Holy Mother?"
"It shouldn't be necessary," Li Ping'an thought carefully and said slowly, "I will edit a book later and let Tingzhu send it to the Notre Dame Palace... Dad, where is my master?"
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "I have returned to the Zhuyun Sect. Qingsu's master wants to retreat to the Golden Immortal Realm. Qingsu rushes back to meet him. The so-called retreat means either becoming a Golden Immortal or turning into a withered skeleton."
"Well, let's wait for a few days, Master."
Li Ping'an stretched his waist:
"Dad, I'm going to go to Kongmeng Realm to explore in advance.
"It's only been a few days since the troops were dispatched. I always look at the information provided by Tianfang Pavilion and lack specific pictures in my mind.
"It's not that I can't believe in Tianfang Pavilion, but some things are true after seeing them with my own eyes."
Li Dazhi glared and said, "What are you doing! How dangerous it is! Tianwai is too far away and it's not convenient to send messages!"
Li Ping'an said: "I asked Uncle Guiling to accompany me. Safety should not be a problem. I will think of a way to see if I can find a way to send the message."
"That's good. Senior Guiling is no longer banned by heaven, so he is still quite strong."
Li Dazhi nodded in agreement and said:
"When you go there this time, remember to take all your personal guards with you. The four of them are all heavenly masters, and they can also be used in the outer world.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want you to know. The Tiandi Temple over at Linzheng Immortal Dynasty has begun to advance. Do you want to develop a set of doctrines or something? Or just build the Tiandi Temple?"
"Let's just go to the Tiandi Temple, there's no need for any religious teachings."
"Does Hou Tu want to enter the temple?"
"No entry for now," Li Ping'an said sternly, "The merits of incense will become more and more important in the future. When the witch clan really makes great achievements, we can invite the later Tuzu witches to enter the temple."
"That's okay!"
Li Dazhi slapped his thigh and stood up: "You can continue to rest, I will continue to run errands for my son."
Li Ping'an smiled calmly: "Thank you father!"
"If you don't even pay any salary, you are a black-hearted capitalist!"
Li Dazhi laughed and cursed twice, and his fat figure floated away.
Li Pingan clenched his fists.
After paying homage to Taiqing, I feel inexplicably more at ease. The next step is... hmm?
Li Ping'an let out a light sigh, and with his celestial sense, he looked into the ray of glow floating on the spiritual platform and took a closer look.
The overall calamity remains unchanged;
The Heavenly Emperor in white was chained there, and the headless Xingtian moved forward with an axe. There was a scene of the end of the world everywhere.
But on the top layer of this scroll, there is a faint shadow of the Tai Chi diagram.
Li Ping'an glanced a few more times, and Xing Tian's ax fell again. 'Li Ping'an''s head flew up, but there was no change in the Tai Chi diagram.
