Having made up his mind, Youtan decided to tell the truth! If you want someone to help you, you should at least tell the truth, right? It's a simple truth!
"We can still persevere! Scarlet Red now has dozens of great Buddhas, hundreds of Buddhas, and several Nascent Souls. It is also a force that cannot be underestimated. There is no problem at the battle level!
Our problems come from within, not over whether to fight a big war, but over the direction of the Crimson Tradition!"
Now that he has chosen to speak, Youtan's speaking speed is getting faster and faster, which seems to be a bit overwhelming.
"Crimson is the Buddhist sword vein, and what you practice is Zen sword! The so-called Zen sword means that there is both Zen and sword! For tens of thousands of years, whether Zen is more important? Or the sword? There has been an endless debate within the Crimson Taoist tradition.
of!
If you choose Zen as the most important thing, which is actually a requirement of Xitian Buddhism, then maybe you won’t be in the current dilemma! But it also means that one day Crimson will no longer make a living by swords, but will be like other Buddhist traditions.
, it has become many branches, each going its own way. Zen sword is just one of them, and the proportion will become less and less!
If you choose the sword as your priority, you will not be able to avoid the suppression of Xitian Buddhism! We may always be sword cultivators, but how to survive is the biggest problem, just like now!"
Lou Xiaoyi nodded, a bit like Huashan Sword Sect and Qi Sect! Things are getting more and more complicated, and my brain hurts!
"What about history?"
You Tan explained, "Historically, the origin of the Crimson Sword Vein Dao lineage came from a wandering sword cultivator group, which is too far away to be studied in detail!
They took root in Crimson. Because of the cosmic environment at that time, in order to survive, they began to merge with Buddhism. They divided and combined, fought and killed. Finally, a genius swordsman created the Zen sword technique, and finally became a master of Crimson.
Stand firm!
But at the core, the sword is heavy and Zen is light, which is the true philosophy of the ancestors! The so-called Zen meaning is just a cover to fool the surrounding Buddhist forces.
This is the original intention! But the original intention will change!"
You Tan sighed, "The environment determines the Taoism. This is the truth! If the ancestors settled in Dongtian, they would definitely be in the Dao Sword Vein! But if they settled in Crimson, they would inevitably deviate towards Buddhism.
In the mortal world, there is no place for me to stay here, I have my own place to stay. I have different ideas, so I can just leave! But in the world of cultivation, the place is bigger and the space is wider, but there is no place to stay! Unless you leave the Western Heaven
, but you also know that when a Taoist lineage migrates across the sky, it is no longer a matter of breaking muscles and bones, but a matter of losing arms, legs and heads!
We can only persist here! In persistence, when the pressure of Buddhism is greater, we will lean more in the direction of Zen; when the pressure is relatively small, we will lean back in the direction of the sword! But it is located in the west, of course it will always be
Buddhism is mostly in periods of great pressure, and it is in this subtle process that the Crimson Taoist tradition has evolved from the sword taking the central position, to the rise of Zen, and finally to an even split...
Especially in the past ten thousand years, because the era is about to change, this deflection has become even more obvious!"
You Tan said bitterly: "We know the meaning of the alliance very well. They are not just interested in the Crimson Star, nor are they going to uproot us and eradicate us! What they actually mean is that they hope that the Zen One System will be in the Crimson Dao System
Dominant among them, slowly occupying the living space of the sword series!
Over time, Crimson was completely transformed into the power of Buddhism. It’s hard to say whether there was a Zen sword at that time!"
Lou Xiaoyi couldn't help but sigh, it was another orthodox tragedy! He could have guessed what happened next! If there hadn't been a big change in the era, such silent changes would have taken thousands of years, and by then the scarlet color would have completely If you are controlled by the Zen system, you may not even be able to resist now. It will just be a natural transformation. It is a matter of a Dharma meeting, not even a Dharma meeting!
This is what Buddhism is best at, nourishing you without any discussion. When you react, you won't even have the strength to struggle. There may only be a few melodramatic songs of the old and the young, and you will not be able to see the splash when you fall into the tide.
At this point, not even Taoism can compare! In terms of ideology, Taoism appears to be more tolerant. Just admit that it is a branch of Taoism. If you don’t seek the same, you must become Sanqing, Zhouyi and other authentic Taoists!
Of course, there is also the determination of Emperor Xuanyuan and other founders of the sect. They ruthlessly eliminated all means other than sword-cutting! They simply did not give other ideological trends a chance to develop and grow! That's how Xuanyuan is now!
Scarlet is not good, the environment is not good, the founder is not determined enough, the result is that the loopholes are getting bigger and bigger, so big that it can even compete with the mainstream sword system!
Originally, this should be a natural transition process, but the change of era disrupted the rhythm of Buddhism's layout in the Western Heaven. During the two cosmic wars in the Eastern Heaven, Lou Xiaoyi's little shit stick banged loudly, disrupting the already urgent situation. The rhythm is completely chaotic, and Buddhism has no choice but to follow this chaotic rhythm, so it has no choice but to take action in advance!
In Xitian, just taking Scarlet as an example, now is not the right time to take action! Originally, the Zen monks of Scarlet would be able to make a peaceful transition in a few years, and the fruit is ripe, but now, the siege of the Buddhist Alliance, Get them together again!
In the current situation, the heart of the sword system is not dead yet! If a foreign enemy invades, you can still choose to die rather than surrender!
"After several years of fighting, the situation is not good! Morale begins to decline, and there is no hope! At this time, the Zen style of thought begins to rise again. In the years of fighting, the backbone of the sword style has suffered heavy losses. Under the comparison of strength, the situation begins Developing in an inexplicable direction!
The poor monk is a swordsman! I admit that I am a monk! But I am also a swordsman! I don’t want the crimson in the future to completely become a lifeless Buddhist desireless place, but there is nothing I can do about it!
It was too frustrating to stay in the secret base, so I took this job to go out to relax, and I didn’t expect to meet you, the Immortal!"
Lou Xiaoyi probably understood what he was saying, and felt even more troubled, "Then, as a Scarlet member, if you had such ability to control everything, what would you do?"
Youtan was a little confused, "I..."
Lou Xiaoyi put it more bluntly, "Let's put it this way! Does Tu Muyun know? If you were Tu Muyun and came down from the outer scene, what would you do?"
You Tan stammered a little, "Ancestor Yun, Ancestor Yun, is he still alive?"
Lou Xiaoyi became impatient, "I won't be dead for a while, but if I knew you were so nagging and timid, I guess you wouldn't have to ascend to immortality. You could hang yourself on a ladder!"
It also saves me trouble!
You have to know that in the late stages of chaos in the universe, even half-immortals can come down, including your Ancestor Yun!
You don’t want him to see Hong Kong like this, unable to get past the wall, and unable to solve his own internal troubles, right?”
