While Lou Xiaoyi was leading the way, he had a very interesting chat companion. Of course, he still wanted to turn him into a pit when he heard about it. Likewise, he also wanted to test his willpower in the process!
He has such confidence because he knows his past life very well! The question is, what about previous lives?
Regarding faith, he has his own unique views because of his previous life. These things have been thoroughly discussed in that world. In this world of cultivation, it is basically impossible to seduce him with these things!
The reason why I keep playing this game with this weird old man is because of some very practical reasons. For example, how on earth did he manage to lose focus with his death gaze?
"Everyone has faith. Whether you admit it or not, it exists objectively. Especially for monks, without some persistence, there is no way to achieve success on the road of spiritual practice!
For example, if you are obsessed with the sword, would you not object if I said it is a kind of belief?
There are many other things, such as persistence in the Tao, persistence in ideas, persistence in cosmology, persistence in right and wrong, etc. In fact, they are all a kind of belief, which have already existed in your life, practice, and behavior. Just don't know it.
These things are actually beliefs. You only need to condense them out, form a core, and stick to it all the time, that is belief!
When this kind of faith is condensed to a high enough level and you can practice it personally, you will feel the power of faith more directly, which is what you call the embodiment of faith!"
Lou Xiaoyi retorted, "But many of my persistences are changes! Take the sword as an example, it has never stopped changing since the foundation was established! So, can beliefs also be changed and modified at will?"
Wenzhi replied: "Once a belief is formed, it will never change!
You can't measure your faith by changes in your sword skills! That's just a change in technique, a change in appearance. Do you dare to say that from the moment you learn the sword, even from the outer sword to the inner sword, even if it's a sword pill, a sword and a box sword? Pan, the forms of swords are ever-changing, but has the essence of the sword changed? Isn’t the sword the same sword you had in mind when you first entered the art of kendo?

If you think it is possible for your beliefs to change, it only means that you have not refined your beliefs to the extreme and have not yet touched the core!"
The old man's words really made Lou Xiaoyi unable to refute, because the fact is that the sword in his mind has never changed, and this has nothing to do with the form of the sword!
"What kind of condensation will form a belief? Is there a standard? Do you define it yourself? Or is there a system?"
He was quite proud to hear this, obviously believing deeply in his own orthodoxy, "Faith is all-encompassing! It has both a system and respect for individuals! It has reached a perfect combination between the two!"
Speaking of systems, beliefs include beliefs about heaven and earth, ancestor beliefs, primitive beliefs, religious beliefs, social beliefs, and ideal beliefs, which includes almost everything!
The thirty-six innate avenues of Taoism and Buddhism are actually included in your beliefs. We also have moral beliefs and cognitive beliefs!
You don’t need to think about where you are in the system or which belief you want to move towards, it’s not necessary!
You only need to condense the most sacred and inviolable thing in your mind, then it will be your faith!"
Lou Xiaoyi laughed, "In this way, anyone can become a saint! Is it true that a woman who has been waiting for her husband for decades to wait for her husband who has not returned from the war is also a believer?"
Wen Zhi said firmly: "Of course, this belief is loyalty! It means that she has met the requirements of her belief in her state of mind, and the rest is just some means of realization!"
Lou Xiaoyi shook his head, "It's too illusory! In the final analysis, the means of realization are still in the hands of you people, so what's the point of talking about true faith? It's just a kidnapped faith!"
I don't like this thing, because it loses the fun of pursuit. It becomes a joke that if you work hard and persist, you will be rewarded. There is no way to plan or plan. It is too idealistic.
I am a sword cultivator. I don’t know how I should use my sword if I become successful in my faith. Can I kill people just by relying on my faith? I don’t need to practice hard every day with my sword. I don’t need to think about my own swordsmanship system anymore.
?When the opponent's ever-changing Tao realm appears, can I solve it by saying that I have faith?"
The old man sighed after hearing this. I have to say that this sword cultivator is so sober and so simple in reality! In the final analysis, belief in Taoism has such shortcomings that cannot be compensated for. This is also the reason why belief in Taoism has struggled to survive in the cracks between Buddhism and Taoism.
miniature.
"You are right! Belief in Taoism has many limitations. If this were not the case, the world of cultivation in this universe would not only have two main mainstreams: Taoism and Buddhism! I admit this!
But one great advantage of belief in Taoism is that it is not compatible with other Taoisms! Simply put, monks can continue to practice in their own Taoism, but because of the bonus of a certain belief,
It will give you more extraordinary abilities, and it can help you do things that you couldn’t do otherwise when facing certain scenes!”
Lou Xiaoyi hit the nail on the head, "Is this a compromise method that the orthodoxy has to choose? Existing in the form of realm, sect, and orthodoxy alone will attract too much attention, especially those malicious suppressions?
So break it into parts and achieve the purpose of spreading faith through coexistence?
Coexistence is also existence!
So, is it because we see the hope of a new era that we have such a change?"
Hearing this, he sighed. The intuition of this sword cultivator is very terrifying! He can accurately point out some deep intentions as soon as he comes into contact with the faith. This is something that only senior believers like them have the opportunity to understand. Unexpectedly, in this
In Jian Xiu's mouth, many hidden intentions were ruthlessly revealed, without leaving any mercy!
The Taoist and Buddhist families have countless talents and cannot be underestimated!
Everything is to be in a more favorable position after the beginning of the new era!
Taoists think so, Buddhists think so, and they believe in Taoism and believe in the same way!
In fact, who doesn’t think so? Under the subdivision, there are more ambitious people, such as sword veins, body veins, soul veins! They also have their own demands! There are also ancient holy beasts, innate spiritual treasures, major races, etc.
wait!
Who doesn’t want to get a better start in the great changes in the future?
In fact, everyone is doing the same thing, and they know each other well. For themselves, for orthodoxy, and for those things they insist on, there is no right or wrong!
But the cake of heaven is only so big. If you take one more bite, I will take one less bite. The opportunity only comes once in millions of years. Who should let whom?
The battle between the avenues is just a hint now, and it will become more intense as time goes by, until the moment when the plot is revealed!
