16. The Way of Heaven(1/2)
Why is the way of heaven?
This is a big proposition.
Especially for monks who want to transform into immortals, eliminate troubles and achieve great freedom, this proposition almost runs through the entire practice.
Thousands of years ago, most of the practice sects pursued the concept of understanding the heaven and earth and practicing transcendence. The manifestation at the level of personal practice is the continuous enhancement of the power and supernatural power of the monks, and they strengthen themselves by seizing the power between heaven and earth.
This even extends the derivative understanding of the way of heaven and humanity.
The so-called way of heaven reduces the excess and makes up for the shortcomings. It emphasizes the mutual generation and harmony between heaven and earth, extends the laws of the great way, and develops gradually.
The way of human beings is just the opposite. You cannot just seek fullness and many things. You should know what you are good at and use it to hide your shortcomings and do the best way of doing the best.
Of course, there are also some "practice activists" who follow another set of ideas and think that practice is a matter of defiance of heaven, and they must also do it against heaven.
They feel that God is born into an ordinary body by living beings, so that you can live your life honestly and then enter the cycle of reincarnation, but you are thinking about eternal life and live with the heavens.
This is what it means to defy the will of heaven.
If you just follow the heavens, then what kind of immortals can you cultivate?
Everyone goes back and grow sweet potatoes honestly.
In short, the two factions have their own reasons, and it was also the main theoretical contradiction in the world of practice thousands of years ago, just like the distinction between good and evil in the martial arts world. From theoretical issues, it also led to the conquest between monks.
According to the scene described by the fairy, if it really hit the point of death, the monks would be no weaker than the warriors.
But in terms of its essence, no matter what trends or ideas are, they are thought based on the original major propositions.
All changes will never leave their roots.
If you want to truly embark on the path of cultivation and clarify the mind of Tao, you must have an answer to this original proposition in your heart.
What exactly is the way of heaven? What does it represent?
During the five years when the founding of the Great Chu and the revival of spiritual energy, this ancient issue once again sparked discussion, especially in the fairy world, where all the big guys had different opinions.
After all, they are now monks.
As for this question, Shen Qiu, who returned to this world from outside the starry sky, obviously had a different answer than anyone else.
"The way of heaven, the objective law of material existence, constitutes the basis of the material world, and is not transferred by the individual's will."
This was the first answer in Shen Qiu's mind when he heard the fairy's inquiry, but he didn't say it out loud, because this answer was wrong in this world.
At this time, the great masters of the immortal world were busy in the dazzling starlight. With Shen Qiu's command, they took off the spiritual power of the giant spirit of the great way and integrated into the starlight.
Shen Qiu then used special techniques to shape these spiritual energy containing the power of the Great Dao into a strange appearance of matter, and to build a new core of the Heavenly Dao.
New ways of heaven can be built, so how can it be said that it is not transferred by human will?
This is an unscientific world, so how can we view it as materialism?
"Your question is vague, I can't answer you."
Shen Qiu changed his words and replied to the fairy girl beside him:
"Besides, everyone has different understandings of the way of heaven. I think the fairy has lived for so many years and must have his own answer in my heart. Why should Shen come and say more?"
"You guy!"
The fairy girl in the mountains glared at Shen Qiu fiercely. She was very dissatisfied with Shen Qiu's concealment, so she put her waist on her back and said:
"You are the only one I know who can see the powerful.
Thousands of years ago, this was the opportunity to achieve enlightenment that you could not find. You also said that you had talked with the powerful for a long time, but have you never asked this question?
Are you still a warrior monk who is dedicated to seeking Taoism?”
"I really haven't asked about this."
Chen Qiu smiled and then floated to his side. Only he could see the words "Shi Shu".
The ten fingers of your hands kept moving, concentrating the strange starlight in front of you, spreading lines, circles and patterns, and the sphere between virtual and real continues to assemble.
While working, he said:
"The 'powerful' mentioned by the fairy is a very elegant and easy-going person. He didn't talk much about this, and I didn't deliberately ask.
But if the fairy is really curious about where the end of the road is, I have some experience, so I can tell you to the fairy."
"Okay, just say it."
The fairy who moved the mountain did not care about demeanor, and used her spiritual energy to make a small stool. She also took out the jade that could record the images of words from her sleeve and arranged it in place.
This is to write down everything Chen Qiu said and watch it all the time in the future.
For her monks who lived a thousand years ago to the present, her desire to seek the Tao is naturally no more than the younger generations of this era. For her, her practice has become the main tone of life.
After resolving the ancestor and relieving his hatred, this path of cultivation must be put on the agenda.
Chen Qiu was a little surprised by such a solemnity.
But then, he shook his head, and a trace of memories appeared in his clear black and white eyes. He pondered for a few times, then pushed the strange frameless glasses, and then said:
"Where I talk to Him is at the source of stars, there are many names there, some called it the cosmic furnace, some called it the land of zero, and like the civilization of our world, it called it the great furnace."
This opening made the fairy widen her eyes.
The Avenue Melting Furnace.
Just listening to the name, it feels like it is a remarkable place.
Not only the fairy girl, but other senior and big shots around her who were still busy, also heard what Chen Qiu said, and they quietly slowed down their work and listened carefully.
After all, it is a scenery outside the world, and I don’t know if there is any opportunity to transcend this world and advance to a higher level. It is also good to listen to it more.
"It is the source point that supports the existence of the entire star. Just like the relationship between the sun and our world, it constantly releases light and heat, sprinkles all over the stars in a form that I cannot understand.
But those light and heat are not light and heat in the ordinary sense. They should represent meanings such as rebirth and life.
And the fuel of that furnace is the dead of the stars."
Chen Qiu said softly:
"The wreckage of the world that died due to natural disasters, the sad souls brewing in the end of the world, the cold that spreads among the stars, and the darkness that is hidden in people's hearts.
He called them, and what should be forgotten, would be sent into the furnace, burned, and once again transformed into a new force to support the stars to expand.
When you really stand in that place, and look at the huge furnace of a world with flames and uninterrupted forging, you will feel the true pure cycle of life and death.
Recommended, [app] is really good, it is worth installing. After all, you can cache reading and read offline!
You can even see more.
Yin and Yang, light and darkness, order and chaos, all things are opposite and mutually generated and restrained, those mysterious and mysterious meanings, even if you don’t want to know.
But as long as you see it, you will be unable to help but think and explore more
That's what, how do you say?"
Chen Qiu frowned and recalled his experience. After a few breaths, he came up with a suitable adjective.
"Knowledge! Yes, it's knowledge."
"A continuous stream of knowledge will be passed on to your mind through the existence of the furnace in the material world. I only saw three breaths or four breaths?
I felt like my mind was about to be blown up, as if you fell into the world of the Red Dust Lord, and spent thousands of years in it, and overwhelming life.
Those messy memories alone are like howling in your mind, driving you crazy.
I can't bear the heavy pressure of that knowledge."
While Chen Qiu continued to combine the Heavenly Dao Ball in his hand, he expressed his feelings in the most honest way. He seemed to have not discovered it, but there were more and more people behind him.
Zhang Chu did not disturb others, but called his father and aunt here, so that they could also listen to Chen Qiu's insights on the great way described. Xiao Tie and Zhang Lan also came to the fairy world to meet the sect leader under Qingqing's greeting.
Chun Yangzi, A Qing and others, in this world, were sensing the response of heaven and man, and realized that there was a change and was about to arise, so they came to the fairy world, just as Chen Qiu said "the Dharma".
Chen Qiu himself had never noticed it. When he spoke of the experience of the furnace of the Great Dao, the starlight behind him was also changing, as if outlining the experience of Chen Qiu that day.
In the form of projection, everyone was pulled into it and watched the experience as a third party.
But they were very vague.
I could only vaguely see Chen Qiu floating above a burning starry sea furnace, entangled by millions of fires, and in front of him, there was a vague human figure with no clear figure.
When Zhang Moye, who was summoned, saw the human figure, he suddenly grabbed the hand of the wife beside him.
He was the only one present who could see the figure clearly.
Because he's seen it.
I have seen Him with my own eyes, and that is the immortal who handed over the sword jade to him in this world back then.
It seems that He has not changed.
It was still the black robe, with four sides on the hem, and there were various runes decorations on the body. On the shoulders, there was a black bird standing.
The scene in front of me is just a projection formed based on Chen Qiu's memories. In theory, everyone can only see and perceive some of the experiences Chen Qiu had.
But at this moment, when Zhang Moye looked at it with all his heart, he suddenly saw the immortal in Chen Qiu's memory, suddenly turned his head to look at him and smiled at him.
The immortal felt it.
