Chapter six hundred and sixty-eight saint preaching 2
Saint Laojun and Saint Nuwa each sat on futons transformed by auspicious clouds, quieting their thoughts and waiting solemnly.
The sage's eyes were also silently looking at Tongtian, who was sitting on the clouds at the head of the clouds.
But I only felt that the figure of the saint who taught me the religion, Momo Huhu, seemed to be absent.
Saint Laojun and Saint Nuwa immediately looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes!
"The cause and effect of Tongtian..." It was only at this moment that the two saints finally realized that the cause and effect of the leader of Tongtian had disappeared from their perception.
It's like there are no saints in the entire Three Realms!
Unfortunately, he is right in front of you now!
Just sit on the clouds!
This discovery made the Taoist hearts of the two saints tremble uncontrollably.
"Detachment!"
The same word, rising from the thoughts of the two saints, immediately stirred up huge waves.
"Has Tongtian already reached the pass on the road to transcendence?" Saint Laojun was thinking in his heart: "How did he do it?"
Obviously, a thousand years ago, Tongtian was only powerful in killing and had many spiritual treasures.
However, now, Tongtian may have reached the state of 'returning to nothingness'!
This means that Tongtian is already the incarnation of the Great Dao in a sense!
How can this be?
"No...no..." Saint Laojun thought in his heart: "Tongtian has not reached that state yet!"
"He has not yet reached the three realms of 'Yi', 'Xi', and 'Wei'!"
"It has not yet refined the Tao Fruit to the point where 'it is not surrendered above, and it is not ignorant below'!"
In the past years, before Taoist union, Taoist ancestors set aside time to answer the questions of four disciples.
Laojun then asked a question: "I beg you, teacher, to have mercy and help your disciples to be freed and achieve transcendence after enlightenment!"
At that time, Taoist ancestor sighed and said leisurely: "Detachment... even the poor Taoist has not succeeded!"
"As long as the Dao Fruit is refined to the point where 'the upper part is not surrendered, the lower part is not ignorant', it will be difficult to make any further progress. We can only retreat and settle for the next best thing..."
The old man bowed his head again and said, "I pray that the teacher will explain, what does it mean to 'not pay it', and what does it mean to 'not be ignorant'?"
"How can disciples do this?"
The Taoist Patriarch threw up his dust and sang a promise leisurely, saying: "What is above is called the Tao, and what is below is called the weapon!"
"Tao and tools are like yang and yin. If yin does not grow, yang will not grow..."
"That's why, the so-called enlightenment means cultivation and tools!"
Listening to Taozu's lectures in the past, Laojun Yuanshen, who was about to attain Taoism at that time, naturally began to understand and understand the mysterious content contained in the subtle meanings of Taozu's words.
As a result, Laojun at that time felt a bright and majestic vast picture.
The two qi of yin and yang are vast, filling the universe, constantly colliding and blending, and derive the qi of the five elements.
The energy of the five elements circulates endlessly and shapes all things.
Then it settled to the lowest level of heaven and earth, fell under the earth, and piled up thickly layer by layer.
It was also at that time that Laojun ‘enlightened’ and ‘understood’.
He understood the artistic conception hidden in Taozu's subtle words and great meaning.
The metaphysical "Tao" is the ethereal things such as the soul, thoughts, and souls.
The physical weapons are the physical body, treasures, and techniques.
For a saint to realize the Tao, he needs to realize the Hunyuan, practice the Wuji, and from the Wuji, he can realize "One".
Hunyuan is the perfect fusion of Tao and tools at their peak.
Wuji is the perfection of yin and yang under the ultimate conditions of Tao and instruments.
‘One’ is the sage’s path and fruit.
The harmony between Tao and utensils results from the perfection of yin and yang and the ‘fruit’ produced from the cycle of the five elements.
It is the key to transcendence and the door to the ultimate secret of heaven and earth.
It was precisely the "enlightenment" at that time that allowed the saint to condense the Tao and fruit into two colors of black and white when he realized the Tao. With the two rituals of Tai Chi, the Tao followed the natural way and became the core of the Tao for adults.
However, at that time, Daozu also said other words that the saint Laojun could not fully understand and comprehend at that time.
"After attaining the Tao and becoming a saint, for a saint, the Tao and the tools are no longer the same!"
"At this time, the saint himself is the instrument, and heaven and earth are the way!"
"The road to transcendence begins with this!"
"Do you still remember the truth I told you when you first came to Zixiao Palace?"
"Turning a blind eye is called Yi!"
"Listen but not famous and say: Hope!"
"The battle has no name but is called: Wei!"
"This is the heaven and earth, the great road!"
"This is also the way of a saint!"
This is why the saint has no name and the saint has no action.
As long as needed, the saint can be everywhere or anywhere.
As long as he is willing, the saint can let the three realms listen to his words, or he can prevent anyone from 'hearing' or 'seeing' the traces of the saint.
Even under the saint, no one can touch the hem of the saint's clothes.
The balance between reality and reality is where thoughts are and where Tao is.
This is where the saint is!
Because the saint is already the incarnation of Yin Yang and the Five Elements.
Saints can be grass, trees, stones, running water, or air.
It can also be flames, thunder and lightning, warm sun...
The saint incarnates everything, the saint controls everything, the saint controls everything and occupies everything.
Only a saint can fight against a saint.
This is not only a gap in personality, but also a gap in cultivation.
Or is there a gap in the understanding and mastery of the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth.
This is like a monkey in the mountains who can use a stone to crack open nuts.
But this monkey could not harm a monk who came from the air and held a law enforcement weapon.
Even if this monk is just building the foundation.
However, the monkey can never touch the hem of the monk's clothes.
As long as the monk is willing, he can even not appear from the beginning to the end, and let a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand such monkeys die in a chaotic manner!
These principles were gradually realized and comprehended by Saint Laojun in the long years to come.
At that time, the sage Laojun seemed to understand but not understand, and seemed to know but not know.
We can only guard our soul, engrave Taozu's "little words and great meaning" into our thoughts, and keep them in our soul.
Among them, some Lao Jun has not digested it yet, and still retains things in his thoughts and soul.
"After enlightening the Tao, go one step further and further refine the Tao and the tools. From the 'one', the 'two' will be born, from the unknown to the famous..."
"This is the state I was in when I was preaching in Zixiao Palace in the past!"
"Now I will unite with the Tao. From now on, there will be no Hongjun in the Three Realms, only the saints of the Heavenly Dao will remain..."
"It means returning to nothingness!"
"And if the superiors do not pay, the inferiors will not be ignorant?"
"This is the state when a poor man tries to transcend, but fails to succeed!"
It was not until after enlightenment that Saint Laojun understood that it was the Tao.
Avenue!
Mysterious and mysterious, wonderful and wonderful way!
It is the god of grain who is immortal and the root of heaven and earth!
As a result, it is not kept and used infrequently.
Daozu was in such a state back then.
He is the Taoist and the Great Dao.
The Dao is the Tao, and the Taoist ancestors are the tools.
Tao and utensils merge, existence and non-existence coexist.
As a result, we have reached the state of ‘not paying anything at the top, and not being ignorant at the bottom’.
Be with the great road and coexist with all things.
But it is not in the Three Realms, above Yin and Yang.
It has escaped the barriers of heaven and earth, and is far away from the shackles of cause and effect.
but……
Daozu did not achieve transcendence!
To be precise, he was only half successful.
Therefore, he had to retreat and seek the next best thing in order to comply with the way of heaven.
Recalling the past, and then looking at the sky in front of me now.
Laojun, the saintly Taoist, was swaying in his thoughts.
He felt that the undigested "small words and great meanings" that he had carved in his soul and thoughts in the past had signs of loosening.
"Mercy! Mercy!" Laojun couldn't help but praise him.
"Stones from other mountains can attack jade!"
"Just seeing Tongtian's current Taoist body, Pindao, will benefit a lot!"
"If I can listen to Tongtian's sermon, I am afraid that I will be able to digest most of the subtle words and great meanings of my former teacher!"
"At that time, the poor Taoist can really write down the true scriptures and moral principles of our teachings!"
"Think of the general outline of human education!"
"In this way, the poor Taoist can create a name from the nameless, and prove the 'two' from the 'one'!"
There are a lot of thoughts and a thousand threads.
But for a saint, it's just a snap of the fingers.
Because the saint only needs to think, and in one breath, he can calculate or deduce the mysteries that the Golden Immortal would need hundreds of years to figure out.
After snapping his fingers, Saint Laojun looked at Tongtian sitting on the futon.
Feelings and perceptions are completely different.
"Today, even if Tongtian fails to achieve the three realms of 'Yi', 'Xi', and 'Wei', I'm afraid it's very close, and it's even just a step away!"
According to the mysteries that Laojun understood from the saint’s subtle words and great meanings.
These are the three realms of ‘Yi’, ‘Xi’ and ‘Wei’.
In fact, they are all two sides of the same body, yin and yang.
As the saying goes, the opposite is the movement of Tao, and the weak is the use of Tao.
In the understanding of Saint Laojun, Tongtian Da Da is probably close to, understands, and has seen the mysteries of the great road that can be seen and contacted by him.
But he probably has not yet realized the mystery and transformed it into his own.
Because, if it reaches such a state.
It's just like when Taoist ancestors preached in Zixiao Palace in the past.
Zixiao Palace preached, Taozu set the pattern of the Six Saints in the future.
This is legislation for heaven and earth!
we can even say……
I am both heaven and earth!
Obviously, Tongtian is far behind now.
If he has reached such a state and has such a temper, how can he still be polite to the Yuanshi of Chanjiao and the Two Saints of the West?
I am afraid that it will directly reverse the cause and effect, or even reverse the effect into the cause.
He freed his disciples one by one from the karma of the past.
Even if you can't, at least you can forcefully change the laws of heaven and earth, which is called Chanjiao, and Western religion bows its head!
More importantly, Laojun understands.
Now, it is already a world of humanity.
The torrent of humanity sweeps across the three realms, and the influence of heaven and man is everywhere.
Today, it is no longer the old days.
As long as you cultivate enough, accumulate enough, and have enough merit, you can attain enlightenment and break through realms.
In this era of human nature, the saint's path and fruit inevitably become part of the influence of heaven and man.
So, the sage wanted to go one step further.
We need Taoism as a ‘vessel’.
Tao and tools complement each other, sublimate each other, and achieve each other.
This is the best of times.
Because saints can achieve transcendence through Taoism.
He will no longer be like Tao Ancestor, and his success will fail.
I have to give up myself, merge with the Great Dao, and become a saint of heaven.
In theory, a saint only needs to sublime his orthodoxy to the heaven.
Then you can ascend like a monk, transcending the constraints of heaven and earth, breaking all restrictions, and achieving true tranquility!
But now is also the worst time.
Because, since the Human Emperor Tribulation, the saints have observed and witnessed through the two guilds.
They have clearly understood how difficult it is to sublimate the orthodoxy!
The Jizhou Taoism of the Chan Sect has been in the human world for a full 360,000 years, and finally ended up with the collapse of rituals, the collapse of music, the entanglement of cause and effect, and the overflow of karma.
Even if there is a reason for this to explain the teaching's own calculations.
Its difficulty is enough to surprise a saint!
However, Laojun knows at least one thing: Tongtian's orthodoxy in the human world may be very prosperous.
But he was far from unifying the southern continent.
If the Nanzhan continent cannot be unified, Taozu cannot truly sprout.
Not even a dynasty!
Just a Taoist embryo.
Obviously, a Taoist embryo cannot sublimate the Taoist fruit of a saint.
Not to mention, taking that crucial step from ‘one’ to giving birth to two, from being unknown to being famous!
With this thought in mind, Saint Laojun looked at Saint Nuwa again, then nodded slightly and greeted the saint.
At the moment when their eyes met, the thoughts of the two saints had already exchanged understandings with each other.
"Junior sister Nuwa, although she is a saint of the demon sect, her understanding of the great ways of heaven and earth is different from mine, and her understanding of the subtle meaning of what the teacher taught in the past is not close to my understanding..."
"However... his views are generally similar to mine!"
There are three thousand avenues, different paths lead to the same destination.
Although the paths of all saints are different, their end point and pursuit are the same - transcendence!
Therefore, opinions can differ.
But perception and feeling are the same.
"Tongtian's current state should be that of the teacher who was in front of the lecture in Zixiao Palace after the First Tribulation of Longhan..."
"It's not because of the existence of the induction of heaven and man. I'm afraid, Tongtian is now able to legislate for heaven and earth, exercise the authority of the three realms, and give orders freely like the teacher in the past!"
"No...no..."
Saint Laojun suddenly became enlightened, his thoughts kept beating, and his spirit vibrated violently.
At this moment, something that had been ignored or even forgotten by the saint before broke free from the dusty spiritual thoughts.
It manifests immediately in thought.
"Who said that in the old days, there would be no more orthodox matters?"
"Preaching from Zixiao Palace!
!”
Before today, this matter that had been deliberately ignored or forgotten by Laojun's thoughts and Taoist heart was finally discovered by him.
Laojun knew that this meant that some of the dust on his Dao Dao Fruit had been blown away.
As a result, these things that were deliberately covered up by dust were exposed and made known to him.
"Teacher preached three thousand words in Zixiao Palace in the past...isn't it a way to establish an orthodoxy?"
"However, this method seems a bit weak because it uses human civilization as a carrier and lacks the blessing of the torrent of humanity!"
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
"But Teacher, it is obviously through preaching the 'original Taoism' that he has perfected the Tao and Fruition to the state of 'not surrendering what is above and not being ignorant below'!"
Thinking of this, many of Laojun's sage Taoist confusions were immediately solved.
And new ideas were born.
"In this way, Xuanmen is the teacher's orthodoxy!"
Saint Laojun became serious.
"No wonder Yuan Shi has always been angry with Tongtian!"
"Is it because the teacher left the Hunyuan whisk to Tongtian?"
"Too!"
"Yuan Shi has always been a noble person, how could he be so stimulated?"
Laojun doesn't care much about this.
Because the way taught by people is to be quiet and inactive, not to dare to be the first in the world, but to be used by the weak, not to fight!
In Tao's heart, he thought about it.
Lao Jun's brows furrowed quietly.
"Why don't you start talking about Tongtian?"
"Dozens of breaths have passed!"
So, Laojun raised his head again suspiciously and looked at Sage Nuwa.
The two saints exchanged guesses about each other's thoughts silently.
"Senior Brother Tongtian, are you worried that what you say is too difficult and mysterious for the immortals to understand?"
This is the view of Sage Nuwa on this matter.
Laojun thought: "Tongtian has always been very shy, but if he is hesitant now, maybe he is brewing something that will shock the three realms?"
Although the two saints have different opinions, they both believe that if their junior brother does not speak, he will definitely make a shocking statement.
The two saints didn't know that at this moment, sitting on the futon turned into clouds, the junior brothers they knew were already panicking.
the reason is simple.
Although the old god taught him the magical power of "Small words and great meaning".
He probably learned it too.
But when he sat down on the futon, he didn't know what to say.
Two 'saints' of the same level were standing by.
He certainly couldn't explain the Taoism and magical powers that those old gods taught him or what little he had gained from his own insights.
This is a trick!
He can't teach mathematics or physics like he does in China.
"What should I do?" Xu Ji was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
But at this moment, he had a flash of inspiration.
