The ninth and fortieth chapter of the method of life-saving in front of the saint
Zhuang Zhou dragged Lin Ze back to the gate of the Western Qin camp. Seeing that he was still in a daze, he couldn't help but shook Lin Ze's shoulders and asked, "What are you thinking, junior brother?"
Lin Ze came back to his senses, looked at Zhuang Zhou with burning eyes, and replied with a serious face: "I was thinking, can the third realm of heaven and being really save his life in the hands of the saint, or even fight against him?"
Zhuang Zhou felt a little weak due to Lin Ze's hot eyes, and whispered back: "Of course."
Lin Ze was very interested and said, "Senior Brother, please clarify my doubts."
Zhuang Zhou pointed to the Western Qin soldiers patrolling not far away and asked, "Here?"
Lin Ze quickly covered his forehead and said, "I'm dizzy. Senior brother, you and I will go to the camp and have a detailed discussion."
The two of them arrived at the general's camp one after another. Lin Ze ordered the guards to bring some tea, water, fruits and snacks, and then dismissed everyone except him and Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and said, "Junior brother, do you know what is the third realm of heaven and what is the realm of saints?"
Lin Ze thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Junior brother, I don't know, please ask me to clarify my doubts."
Zhuang Zhou looked thoughtful and said slowly: "Junior brother is also in the third realm of heaven and man. You should know that the third realm of heaven and man is the ultimate of one path."
"For example, the farmer Xu Xing, the doctor Bian Que, and the Mohist Mo Zhai established their own sect, and reached the ultimate level recognized by heaven, and were successfully promoted to the third realm of heaven and man."
"For example, the two gods of Mount Tai and the gods of Nanzhao respectively represent the ultimate of earth and the ultimate of fire. Their realm of cultivation is the same as the third realm of heaven and man."
Lin Ze looked puzzled and asked, "Senior brother, what is the ultimate?"
Zhuang Zhou said loudly: "To have a profound understanding of a certain road, and to be able to rise above it, is to reach the ultimate level."
Lin Ze spread his hands and said, "But I haven't reached the ultimate level yet, so why can I be promoted to the third level of heaven?"
Zhuang Zhou's face darkened when he heard this. By what means did you advance to the third realm of heaven and humanity? Don't you have any idea in your mind?
What's more, if you are a dabbler in the third realm of heavenly beings like you, without the blessing of destiny, any third realm of heavenly beings can completely defeat you.
"Is it luck?" Lin Ze asked tentatively when Zhuang Zhou didn't answer.
Zhuang Zhou nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the blessing of luck can make people break the rules and break through the third realm of heaven and man."
Lin Ze asked: "As my senior brother said, the third realm of heaven and man represents a certain aspect that cannot be promoted. What about the saint realm above? Why is there such a huge difference between the saint realm and the third realm of heaven and man?
?”
Zhuang Zhou looked solemnly and said: "The third realm of heaven and man only represents the ultimate of a certain path. However, under the path of heaven, there are three thousand great roads and countless minor ones. Although it is rare, it is not too unusual."
"The Saint Realm is completely different from the Heavenly Realm. The Heavenly Realm realizes the Way of Heaven and obtains the Great Way, while the Saint Realm embodies the Heavenly Way with one's body."
Lin Ze thoughtfully asked: "What senior brother means is that no matter how powerful the third realm of heaven is, it is still under the way of heaven, but the realm of saint is vaguely on par with heaven, so the third realm of heaven is far inferior to the realm of saint."
Zhuang Zhou shook his head: "This is wrong. We are both mortals, ordinary people. How can we be equal to the monarch of a country?"
"Although the saint realm is to transform the way of heaven within oneself, how can the true way of heaven and the principles contained in it be what they want to transform? At most, it is an extremely incomplete way of heaven."
Speaking of this, Zhuang Zhou paused and said in a strange tone: "This is why the saints dare not take action against the destined ones at will, lest they cause the backlash of heaven, causing them to fall into the realm and suffer damage to their Taoism."
"After all, in front of the real way of heaven, the way of heaven transformed by saints is really vulnerable."
Lin Ze had a look of surprise on his face, which made sense why when the Buddha and Confucian sages attacked him before, they seemed to be powerful, but in fact they were unscathed.
To put it bluntly, these saints have scruples and do not want to suffer the backlash from heaven.
Lin Ze suddenly thought of the key point: "If the fortune of the destined person is low, will he still be protected by the way of heaven, so that he does not have to worry that the saint will break the destiny?"
Zhuang Zhou looked firm and said: "Junior brother, remember one thing, for us, luck is the most important. Without luck, those who are destined are not much different from ordinary people."
Lin Ze lowered his head and thought for a quarter of an hour, then raised his head and asked, "Senior brother has not yet told me how far one must reach the third realm of heavenly beings to be qualified to save one's life in front of a saint, or even fight against him."
"Although senior brother has always tried his best to help me, and even went against the saint for my sake, the general situation of the world is changing rapidly."
"If one day, junior brother, encounters an unexpected situation and loses more than half of his luck, and senior brother is not around by then, then wouldn't I be in danger, junior brother?"
"Therefore, senior brother, I ask you to teach me without hesitation. If you succeed, you will achieve more with one stone. If not, junior brother, I will at least be mentally prepared so that I will not panic."
Zhuang Zhou shook his head slightly and said: "Junior brother, there is no need to think about confronting a saint in the third realm of heaven. Unless the saint himself has no murderous intention and deliberately stalemates with you, such a situation will never happen."
"As for escaping in front of the saint, junior brother still has to devote himself to cultivating Taoism. He must first transform from a half-dabbler in the third realm of heaven to a true third realm of heaven."
Lin Ze said in a sincere tone: "Please teach me, senior brother."
Zhuang Zhou smiled bitterly: "Enlightenment is a personal matter. Forgive me, brother, there is nothing I can do."
Lin Ze exhaled and said, "Senior brother, I misunderstood. I just want to ask how to reach the extreme quickly."
Zhuang Zhou thought for a while and said: "This is not difficult. I wonder which path my junior brother has understood?"
Lin Ze hesitated for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "The Great Way of Self."
Zhuang Zhou looked puzzled and asked, "What is the Great Way of Self?"
Lin Ze took a sip of tea and slowly spit out eight words: "Do whatever you want and see yourself clearly."
Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly: "It sounds a bit like Xiaoyaoyou, but there is a voice in the dark telling me that this way, junior brother, is completely different from Xiaoyaoyou, and there is no way to give specific improvements according to it."
Seeing that Lin Ze's face was getting ugly, Zhuang Zhou continued: "But there are a few general methods, junior brother may give it a try."
"It is rumored that Taishan Tiger was born from the earth. He has been good at the path of earth since he was a child. In the years to come, he has always been accompanied by mountains and rocks, so he finally reached the ultimate level of the path of earth, which is comparable to the third realm of heaven and man."
"There are also rumors that the Nanzhao God has been inseparable from fire since he was a child. He has been playing with fire since he was a child, and he often meditates in seclusion in magma caves to practice, so that he can understand the ultimate way of fire."
"Junior brother, you can refer to the actions of the Taishan Monarch and the Nanzhao God, and resonate with your own Tao at all times, thereby digging out the profound implications."
"If you keep going, you may gain something soon."
An enlightenment emerged in Lin Ze's heart. What Zhuang Zhou said was not similar to the method he used when he was promoted to the Divine Soul Realm in order to reach the peak of the Divine Soul Realm as soon as possible?
