Chapter 413 The Problem of the Age of Taoism
Although Sun Simiao insisted that due to his age, his current cultivation was a realm forcibly improved by auxiliary forces such as medicine, and his future cultivation qualifications had been lost.
In fact, in Li Zhi's view, this point is by no means destined to stop at this realm, with his amazing luck of exploring the treasures of heaven and earth, even if the old man can't achieve the Great Dao, or even immortals, at least there is the possibility of advancing again.
In terms of today's Sun Simiao realm, breaking through a small realm means that the lifespan is increased by hundreds of years, and Li Zhi at least dares to guarantee that he will live for a thousand years without dying.
Therefore, the topic comes back to the above reasons, without the determination to decisively cut off the deep cognition of Buddha and Confucianism, what if Li Zhi has the ability to find some rare treasures? There is a huge hidden danger in the instability of the foundation, and if the doctrinal wisdom is mixed and not pure, it will only really lose the opportunity to advance.
It's just that he knows that this is not the time, only one day Sun Simiao will be successfully promoted again, and then persuade at that time, the old man will be easy to accept.
The two of them returned to the outer secret room, and seeing that Daoist Jiyuan was still in a state of immersion, Sun Simiao asked, "How to deal with the natural formation here?" You've fused your breath with it, and your mind is fine with it, right? ”
Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "When the Jiyuan Dao Elder completes his advancement, I will introduce all the formation breath into the Chaoyuan Secret Realm, and I only need to be dragged by thoughts to achieve it." Although the Taoist chief may feel strange inside, I want to think of him as a human being, and I will never think of him because of it. ”
"That's not wrong, I have a deep relationship with Jiyuan, why do people have a number in their hearts, it can't be said that it is all right because of this, at least he will not have bad intentions. I also want to suggest that you take it with you from now on, last night I repeatedly advised him, but he replied noncommittal, it is estimated that if this time can help him to be promoted, his mind will change, I will try again! ”
"It's a big surprise to have one more Grandmaster to help me. Old man, I've told you about the old way, right? That person's nature used to be even more stubborn and unruly, but after helping him improve his realm, his heart has now changed greatly, and he is extremely loyal to me. ”
"This person is also a figure, and he is persistent and deeply studying the alchemy that ordinary people in the cultivation realm disdain, and his own determination is extraordinary. By the way, after the Qiankun bag refining materials are ready, you need to remember to leave one for me first, it is not easy for you and me to meet, but you can't let me wait too long. ”
Li Zhi smiled and took out one, which was still refined by Cheng Bi Lao Dao during his retreat before his wedding, and gave him a total of three.
"Haha, I said before that you didn't have any inventory at hand, so you secretly kept one hand!"
Seeing that he was having a great time, Li Zhi walked to the place where the original magic tree was, the soil here also needed to be preserved, and there was already a weak spiritual existence in it.
Transported back and forth a few times, Sun Simiao had already turned around from the freshness, "Text, look at that Great Dao Stone, is there any possibility of refining?" There is a huge amount of pure energy stored in it. ”
"I've tried, not only is the realm too low, but it should also need a similar Dao perception, that thing seems to have a spiritual intelligence and is very resistant to me, if it hadn't been given a living environment for a long time, and a few drops of Shi Yuan liquid for it to enjoy, I'm afraid it would have been suppressed by its coercion!"
"Avenue perception? That is something that can only be understood in the realm of immortals, and now it is extremely difficult to comprehend only the slightest rule of thought, so when will it be? ”
"Just like the place that seems to be barren in the spiritual energy right now, in fact, there are still spiritual substances in the natural breath, but it is not enough for the monks. The aura of the Great Dao also exists in the rules, otherwise how can it be called omnipresent? I think that the more rules are perceived, the more profound the traces of the Silk Dao will be, and the Dao Stone is obviously not ours, and even true cultivators cannot comprehend it, but it still has a huge effect on improving the perception of the rules. ”
"That's inevitable, and just because of its pan-rebirth spiritual energy function, it will benefit people for a lifetime. However, if it is not refined at this time, will there be unknown risks? Or one day, when the Great Dao Stone senses a summoning, will it fly away and disappear? ”
"No, the Great Dao Stone has never produced true spiritual wisdom at all, and all reactions belong to its natural instincts, otherwise it would not have stayed in the hands of its original owner for at least two thousand years! Speaking of which, old man, I have always had a question in my heart, since the cultivation realm has migrated as a whole as early as two thousand years, where did the Dao inheritance come from? It is known that Lao Tzu is the founder of the Taoist school, and it has only been 1,400 years so far, which is seriously inconsistent with the history of Taoism! ”
Sun Simiao replied with a playful expression: "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?" As you might expect, the disappearance of the cultivation realm, and the true Dao inheritance is almost gone, but that doesn't mean that there are no traces. Lao Tzu had already been an official in the Zhou Dynasty's collection room, and it was his duty to manage and access more collections. It is not uncommon to come into contact with some Taoist fragments during this period, but it is also true that his philosophical thoughts are similar to the Taoist school founded by him, after all, except for the Tao Te Ching, there is no moral refinement of the same depth in the world! Do you know how old he lived? ”
"It should be Hundred Years coming."
This is the most obvious proof of this! Lao Tzu himself is not a cultivator, or his internal cultivation will not exceed that of a first- or second-level hunter, because a third-level hunter can easily live past a hundred years old, and there is no record of actual cultivation in the scriptures written by Lao Tzu. In particular, the Tao Te Ching only constructs a simple, natural, open-minded, and elegant grand framework of cosmology, outlook on life, and methodology, from which future generations can only obtain guidance and enlightenment in many aspects such as society, culture, politics, and economy. When it comes to cultivating the truth, or even simply cultivating, it is all passing by and has no substantive content, so it can be seen that the person is either unable to speak explicitly because of some taboo, or he himself does not have a deep understanding of the path. It has a close relationship with the Tao Te Ching, the first of the group classics of the same era, the Book of Changes. Lao Tzu's move against the Tao is the law behind the "Book of Changes" that there is no peace and no repetition. Morality is not far away from being the highest belief, nor is it by no means mysterious, so it can be seen that there is not much deep connection with cultivation. ”
"It's also Ha, Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching, and he was explaining the way of heaven in the Book of Changes for people of high wisdom. Moreover, Confucius died even earlier, at the age of seventy-three, and obviously did not cultivate the body. ”
Not necessarily, Confucius spent most of his life in vain, experiencing wars and displacement. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when medicine was quite underdeveloped and the average life expectancy was only 31 years old, he still lived to be 73 years old, so there must be something else to hide. Otherwise, it is important to live longer than the old age in the face of adversity, not to envy glory and profit, and to maintain an optimistic attitude towards life for a long time, but if he has never cultivated himself, I personally disagree. ”
"But this does not mean that the Taoist school was born long before the two of them."
"Could it be that the exercises you are currently practicing are fake? Cognition or imagination, don't be limited to what you have now, just like the Chaoyuan Secret Realm at this moment, it is clearly a time, space, and the cycle of the four seasons, all of which belong to a spatial category different from this world, before this, that is, during the daylight yesterday, have you ever thought of the existence of such a space? Even if you have heard of it, what is the huge difference from what you see with your own eyes at this moment? You are not Lao Tzu himself, how can you know that he did not know through some real Taoist fragment, or even in a trance? ”
"Is there still a possibility that the alien space of the cultivation realm has already shuttled through countless dynasties invisibly, and the specific number of years of existence is unknown?"
"It's not possible, it's real. Maybe these are all the basic knowledge that school-age children in the cultivation realm know, and it is in vain for you and I to talk about it again, just like your own Chaoyuan Secret Realm, if you really get it, the unknown will become common sense! ”
"Forget it, no matter how it came about, the aura in Jiyuan Dao Chief's body is a little disordered, and he will definitely be promoted soon!"
Hearing this, Sun Simiao turned his head to look, and saw that Jiyuan was in the midst of a dazzling aura flying above his head, accompanied by bursts of white smoke coming out of his body, and his entire body was trembling rapidly, obviously reaching the critical point of realm breakthrough.
At this time, Jiyuan seemed to have become chaotic even in the operation of his thoughts, as if he had fallen into a swamp, and the more he struggled with his breath, the more chaotic it became, tormenting him so much that his facial expression was extremely distorted.
In his current situation, I am afraid that if he is a person, he may not feel the slightest bit if he cuts him with a knife, because he can no longer perceive whether his body exists, and there is only a mass of consciousness struggling.
