Chapter 26 The Peacock Talks the Tao
"This place should not be called a place, it is a space created casually so that you and I can have a place to go with each other." Yin Yang Peacock smiled and looked around the wall with my eyes. "Actually, I'm not familiar with this place."
"Are you really me?" I asked in confusion.
The Yin-Yang Peacock nodded, then smiled and shook his head. They probably like this, just pretending to be mysterious.
"Can we stop being mysterious? Let's talk to me carefully, are you me?" I really feel a little impatient.
"It doesn't matter whether I am you or not. What matters is whether you are yourself. Have you really discovered your own potential? Have you really learned the unique knowledge of your Taoism?"
After he asked this, I was really stuck. I didn't say anything else. The last sentence really made me realize that the master left me with the unique skills I had not learned yet.
He continued with fearlessness: "I even feel that you are not even as good as the new Zhu Ming, and he is more hardworking than you in this regard."
"Hey, can you say that? Is there anyone who says this?" I said very dissatisfied. "Your evaluation of me like this makes me very sad. Don't look at me who often smiles, but I am serious about Taoism and have worked very hard to learn and practice."
"If you say that, I have to say it. I wish you can get up at 6 or 7 in the morning tomorrow morning to practice, and what time do you usually get up?"
What he said was true. I was speechless when asked. It wasn't that I didn't know what time I got up, because since the master died, I usually slept until I woke up naturally, and what time I slept until I was counted on what time.
"I think your answer should be: It's not that you don't know what time you get up, but because after your master dies, you just let yourself sleep until you wake up naturally, and what time you sleep until what time you counts."
He had already seen through me, but he still questioned me like this. Why bother? This is not obvious that I am making a fool of myself. I glanced at him angrily, but the more I looked at him, the more I felt that he was so hypocritical.
"As the saying goes, don't slap people in the face, don't reveal their shortcomings, what do you mean?"
"Don't be angry, you are really one, how can you tell each other?"
Seeing the other person pushing his face and saying this in his own voice makes people feel a little itchy.
Even if you grit your teeth, you can't bite it, otherwise it would turn out to be a dog biting a dog's mouth and hair?
No, I'm not a dog.
Forget it, the further we get, the further we get. Besides, what he said is a little bit reasonable, it is really hard for him and I to tell each other apart.
"Let's go back to the topic? I just asked you a question, and you went around me for a long time and didn't come back. I admit that when practicing the master's Taoism, I am indeed not diligent enough and not hard enough. So now, please answer my question: Are you me?"
"I can say it's you, or it can be said it's not you." Yin Yang Peacock's answer was still only these twelve words. I got this answer and it made people feel a little angry.
He seemed to feel my dissatisfaction and then said seriously:
"The reason I say this is because there is a soul in your soul. But you are not part of me, nor am I part of you."
"What's going on? It's like saying nothing for a long time. I'm so angry that I'm almost pissed by you."
"Have you heard of the legend of Emperor Zhenwu? Do you know how Emperor Zhenwu in Wudang Mountain became the True Lord of Demons?"
I still know this story, but why did he mention this story for no reason?
Could it be...if I think of this and still don't understand the key, then I will become the number one fool in the world.
"You have a relationship with me, too?" I pointed at him and pointed at myself.
The Yin-Yang Peacock smiled and nodded at me.
"Not only my relationship with you, but in fact, the gods and Buddhas in the sky have dispersed their three souls and seven spirits. Each soul has spread into the body of a mortal. Although it is different, as long as this mortal can dig deeper, it can use this power."
"Are you so full that you have nothing to do? You can disperse your three souls and seven spirits and then bury them in the body of a mortal, watching this mortal's life and waiting to play, right?"
Is this the so-called God able to play?
The Yin-Yang Peacock smiled and shook his head. My opinion seemed very funny to him.
"This is called "all sentient beings have fate. If it weren't for this principle, why did the five hundred Arhats have already included all the appearances of human beings? That's because God is not a god, man is not a human, God is also a human, man is also a god. This is called Tao that can be told, the extraordinary Tao."
"You wait a moment, I remember you seem to be the son of the Buddhist Peacock King."
When I said this, I naturally looked at the peacock behind him.
If this is not a son, then wouldn't my soul be a woman?
"I think you should have studied biology. The peacock I transformed into is obviously male. The female peacock does not open her head. When you see that I open her head, you should know whether I am female or male."
The Yin-Yang Peacock answered me in the simplest sentence.
This is really a peacock man.
"Okay, I admit that you are a man, so if I remember correctly, you seem to be from the Buddhist faction, but I am a Taoist priest and Taoist."
"First of all, if your soul is not because of my soul, you will not have cultivated into the current Yin and Yang double body. But what makes me feel very disappointed is that you did not use this body well, but regarded yourself as an ordinary Taoist priest. It's not your fault, who made your master just an ordinary Taoist priest."
He was still conscious and didn't say anything disrespectful to his master. Otherwise, I really couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't teach him a lesson. I don't care what kind of peacock he is. Even if there is a phoenix in front of me, as long as I speak rudely to my master, I will teach him a lesson.
"It seems like you can beat me." The peacock man gently handed me this sentence.
Puff... the tea in my mouth suddenly spewed out.
I almost forgot. He could think what I thought, but he blamed himself for not being good at learning skills and not knowing what this guy was thinking.
"You don't have to think about what I'm thinking, because I'll tell you what I'm thinking."
The peacock man gave me a blank look while pouring tea for me.
I really want to fight him now, but I can't beat him.
"There are a few things that I still need to explain to you. First of all, what your soul kid said is wrong. I have no interest in seizing your body."
"People's hearts are separated from their stomachs. Who knows whether you are really uninterested or falsely uninterested? I don't have the ability to think about what I think."
"You should know this without my ability."
The peacock man showed that hateful smile again. Even if he didn't listen to what he said next, I knew there was nothing good about him in his mouth.
The facts are indeed as I expected.
"Then I ask you, why do I stay in the Pure Land and I have to run to the world to cause trouble for myself?"
"You have some reason to say that. I just want to know why you want your soul to go to the world and spread it on me?"
"Buddha saves people who are destined to be a destined person, right?" The peacock man answered me in a very short sentence.
This is obviously cheating, okay, this is standard cheating, this is standard rogue cheating, okay. What does it mean that you and I have a fate? It is clearly the saying that the result is the cause.
"Don't talk about the cause and effect issue first. Think carefully about whether you are the one who is ahead, or me who is the soul?"
Isn’t this a problem with laying eggs and laying chickens on eggs?
"Of course I'm the one who comes ahead."
"Then can you tell me what you did in your previous life?"
"Are you talking nonsense? How do I know what I did in my previous life?" I simply hugged my shoulders and saw what he could do.
I have to know what I did in my previous life. Can't I be me? Perhaps only he knows that I was in my previous life... Wait a moment, in my previous life.
Suddenly I seemed to understand what he said, "You and I are destined to be a good person."
It should be a person who has a soul first and then a person. A person, that is, the so-called life, is based on Buddhist theory, and the soul is immortal and reincarnated in the six realms.
"Now you understand, this is the foundation of your fate. The Peacock Clan has been in short supply since the blessing of my father, Peacock King, ascending to the Pure Land. In order to replenish the number of souls, we all need to donate our own soul or soul to replenish the number of souls."
I probably understand this. The six realms of reincarnation are simply like the sand in an hourglass. It cannot be missing or increased. Only by constantly adding can the sand continue to leak down. The same is true for the six realms of reincarnation. After they enter the Pure Land, they only leave their souls or souls in this world and recombine with some scattered souls in this world, and then a complete soul will be reborn again.
The soul he left behind happened to be the soul on me. To a certain extent, he was me at the beginning. From another perspective, I am him now.
However, Li Xiangxiang was able to say that things in the life and death sect would seize other people's bodies, which means that such a thing has indeed happened. At least this happened in my master's records, so how can this be explained?
"The answer is very simple, because you are very lucky that your soul is my Yin-Yang Peacock. I live very well in the Pure Land where I am, and I don't want to mix up your life. But not everyone's soul has the conditions like me. You should know that some souls are punished to the Avici Hell, and once they are organic, they will certainly climb up from the hell."
He used a gesture to indicate the rest. This is my habit. When I have something that I understand very clearly and are unwilling to explain it, I usually use this gesture to the other party.
