After returning to China, Jiujianxian and Yin Ruozhuo took the lead in returning to Shushan. Dongfang Yu still had a task, which was to send Kongxing to the palace for the emperor to make a decision. Although Princess Feiyan had been away longer than Dongfang Yu, even Dongfang Yu
I stayed in Nanzhao Kingdom for a few days, but it won’t take long for Wu Kongshu to fly back from Nanzhao Kingdom, and Princess Feiyan may not be able to come back for more than a day or two.
After entering the palace directly and meeting the emperor, Dongfang Yu told the emperor what happened in Nanzhao and what Kongxing did. Regarding the issue of emptiness, the emperor also found it a bit difficult.
After all, Kongxing is still a former Imperial Preceptor. Not long after he gave up the position of Imperial Preceptor to Dongfang Yu, he is going to punish Dongfang Yu heavily because of Dongfang Yu? In this case, it will appear that the emperor is unkind and unjust.
.
Immediately, the emperor and Dongfang Yu discussed that the punishment of Kongxing Guoshi should be carried out in secret. Dongfang Yu naturally understood the emperor's concerns. Besides, Dongfang Yu was not the kind of person who wanted fame. He had to rely on
In order to suppress the ascendancy of emptiness, Dongfang Yu simply nodded and agreed to the emperor's proposal.
The emperor was naturally very happy to see that Dongfang Yu understood the righteousness so well. After pondering for a moment, Kongxing was also the abbot of Fan'an Temple after all, and it was not appropriate to punish him too severely. However, the emperor himself could not say this clearly.
came out, so I asked Dongfang Yu if he had any ideas? How to deal with emptiness?
Naturally, he is well aware of the emperor's concerns. Although the whole world is not the royal land, and the shores of the land are not the royal ministers, but if the emperor wants to execute Brother Sword Master, I believe that the entire Shu Mountain will not agree, but
, if you don’t punish, how can you live up to yourself?
After thinking for a while, Dongfang Yu said, "I think it would be fine if Kongxing lived in Fan'an Temple for twenty years without being allowed to step out of the temple."
"Twenty years of claustrophobia, is that all?" Dongfang Yu's words made the emperor slightly startled.
Being in seclusion for twenty years, and the location is Fan'an Temple? Such a punishment is nothing, right? Many eminent monks have been in seclusion for ten years, or even decades.
"That's enough." Dongfang Yu waved her hands and said, not caring at all. At least for the next twenty years, Kongxing will not be able to walk around with great fanfare. Naturally, she will not have the ability to take action against Shushan.
.
Dongfang Yu could also see that Kongxing seemed to be harboring ill intentions towards Shushan. Now that Shushan was developing at a rapid pace, the Sword Master had broken the path again. He indeed needed a stable period to grow. This could be regarded as a slight advance towards Shushan.
Be strong.
"That's fine, since the Imperial Master is so broad-minded, I will naturally obey you." He looked at Dongfang Yu, and his expression didn't seem to be fake. The emperor nodded and agreed, and immediately conveyed this order to Kongxing, condemning him.
He stayed in Fan'an Temple for twenty years and was not allowed to step out of the temple.
After the matter about emptiness was settled, the emperor immediately asked about Princess Feiyan. Didn't Princess Feiyan chase you? Why did I only see you come back but not the princess?
Dongfang Yu replied that the princess should arrive in the next few days. The princess set off on horseback first, but she flew back and arrived before her.
The affairs in the capital were almost settled. Dongfang Yu thought about it and went to Liu Jinyuan's house again. He told him about Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger and learned that with Dongfang Yu's help, both Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger defeated Bai.
Leader Yue, Liu Jinyuan was also very excited and happy for both of them.
However, Dongfang Yu soon told Liu Jinyuan about Lin Yueru and asked him to tell Lin Tiannan on his behalf that Lin Yueru had been accepted as a disciple by the great God Nuwa and was taken to the fairy world.
"Cousin, has she actually become a disciple of the great God Nuwa? It's really gratifying." After hearing the news, Liu Jinyuan said with a somewhat forced smile.
On the one hand, Liu Jinyuan was also happy for Lin Yueru's result. After all, being able to become a disciple of the great God Nuwa was a blessing obtained through many years of cultivation. On the other hand, Liu Jinyuan also felt a little bitter. After all,
He was passionately devoted to Lin Yueru. If he went to the fairy world, wouldn't it mean that he would never have the chance to meet again?
Dongfang Yu could understand Liu Jinyuan's mood, but she couldn't help him with this matter. After Liu Jinyuan was notified of Lin Yueru's matter, Dongfang Yu had nothing to do in the capital. She moved and flew back to Shushan.
Already...
Regarding the matter of entering the Tao, Dongfang Yu still needs to ask his senior brother carefully. After Yin Ruozhuo entered the Tao and made a circle, he naturally has some insights into the so-called Tao. It is the most appropriate time to ask him at this time.
After returning to Shu Mountain, Dongfang Yu discovered that Brother Jiujianxian had gone down the mountain again. Perhaps for him, laughing, cursing, and playing in the world was his way. Perhaps he could only use this method to eliminate his hatred of witches.
Hou Qing'er's thoughts.
When Dongfang Yu asked, Yin Ruozhuo cooked a pot of tea, and the two sat opposite each other. Regarding their understanding of Tao, Yin Ruozhuo generously taught Dongfang Yu his own understanding.
"In my opinion, the way of heaven and earth, if you look back at it now, it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit in." Yin Ruozhuo's first sentence was like this, which moved Dongfang Yu.
At this time, Yin Ruozhuo seemed to be a living person. The words in his mouth were no longer the vague Zen ideas. As soon as he said them, they were practical information.
"Brother, what's the explanation?" Dongfang Yu put down the tea cup in her hand and humbly asked for advice.
"Well, let me tell you a story." Regarding Dongfang Yu's words, Yin Ruozhuo did not directly explain it, but told Dongfang Yu this truth in a metaphorical way.
"Once upon a time, there was a farmer who specialized in raising snakes. Snakes are all aggressive, especially when different snakes are together. For example, some particularly ferocious snakes will attack other snakes if they grow to a large size.
Snakes and the breeding conditions of this farmer pose a great threat, so these particularly ferocious-looking snakes will eventually be released, do you understand what I mean?"
Yin Ruozhuo's so-called story should actually be said to be just a metaphor, very short, but Dongfang Yu still understood what he meant: "Brother, what do you mean? Those of us who are particularly powerful are like
Are those snakes that have grown up and entered the Tao actually a means of restraining us?".
"Not bad." After hearing Dongfang Yu's words, Yin Ruozhuo nodded in agreement.
"For ordinary monks, whether we practice swordsmanship, Buddhism, or other methods of cultivation, in fact, in the end, different paths lead to the same goal. We call it entering the Tao, and Buddhism calls it enlightenment and Bodhi. But in fact, they are all for the purpose of transforming our emotions.
Desires and desires are overwhelming to the lowest level, and even integrate your body into heaven and earth. If you have no desires, you have become a natural part of heaven and earth. Naturally, even if you have a powerful body, you will not cause any harm to all things in the world.
Threatened."
"So that's it, is this the true face of Taoism?" After listening to Senior Brother Yin Ruozhuo's explanation, Dongfang Yu suddenly realized and understood.
No wonder I always feel something is wrong. The Taoists in this world simply want to cultivate people into emotionless beings like the Red Queen. So this is the true face of Taoism?
A simple metaphor, if this world is like a virtual world on the Internet, then the way of heaven is the system of the Internet. Certain monks will become stronger and stronger as they practice, and they can cut off rivers and interrupt mountains with just a few movements.
A monk at this level is a great threat to this world and all living things. For example, Emperor Shitian of the Fengyun Plane will become a virus in this virtual network.
So the so-called entry into the Tao is to turn these extremely threatening people into small programs similar to the Red Queen. Without pursuit and desire, there will be no powerful power.
It poses a threat to everything in this world. Didn’t you see that in the original work, even the death of the Witch Queen and the death of the Wine Sword Immortal, the Sword Master had no intention of intervening? No matter how good he is in Taoism, is this the way a person should behave?
"So that's it. It turns out that the so-called entering the Tao is just a conspiracy of heaven." At this time, Dongfang Yu finally realized what the so-called entering the Tao was. And this truth was related to Dongfang Yu's.
Over the past few days, my guesses have been consistent. Fortunately, I did not choose to enter Taoism with all my heart, but kept an eye on it.
The precious thing about people is that they have their own ideals, their own emotions, and their own pursuits. To enter the Tao? To cultivate yourself into a being like Dongfang Xiaohong? Think about if you will become like that, Dongfang Yuxin
I felt a chill all the time, and I was very frightened.
Seeing the happy look on Dongfang Yu's face, Yin Ruozhuo actually felt a little scared in his heart. Looking back and thinking about the past ten years, his emotions have almost faded away. If it weren't for the opportunity of the Witch Queen's resurrection, he would have succeeded.
If you break the path, maybe in a few decades, you will really become a stone man with no desires or desires.
"Entering the Dao? Is this like this? Is it just the rules of heaven in this plane that are like this? Or are they like this in all planes?" After learning the truth about entering the Dao in this plane, Dongfang Yu murmured in her heart.
Since the truth about entering the Tao in this plane is like this, Dongfang Yu will naturally not be able to enter the Tao. However, will it be the same in other planes in the future? After thinking about it, I have no clue, forget it, and wait until I go to other planes.
Let’s talk about it later.
"I thought that the so-called Taoism actually meant realizing one's own mind." Dongfang Yu sighed as she shook her head.
"Understand your original intention?" Yin Ruozhuo was slightly startled by Dongfang Yu's words, and there was a hint of thinking between his eyebrows.
