Yin and Yang Taoist Code

Senseless.

Looking at the old Taoist in front of him, Li Chuyi was completely confused.

If he is not dead, how can he still see his ancestor?

He is dead, he must be dead, the ancestor has died a long time ago, it is precisely because he is dead that he can see him.

But that's not right. Dao Yanming wants to resurrect the Patriarch and plant the Patriarch's memory into his heart and turn it into a inner demon. Could it be that what is in front of him is not the real Patriarch, but an inner demon?

Li Chu suddenly became alert and looked at the old man in front of him with evil eyes.

Is this the inner demon?

Why doesn't it look like that?

Thinking about the answer just now, Li Chuyi was filled with doubts. He had heard of the inner demon that killed people. This was the first time he met someone who advised the sufferer not to give up. What kind of nonsense is this? !

Could it be that taking retreat as a way to advance is paralyzing me?

But I don’t want to live anymore, and I still have a numb fart!

Wiping away the non-existent snot, Li Chuyi asked suspiciously: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

After saying that, I felt that it was not right to ask this question, so I changed my words and said, "Are you an inner demon?"

Sanyuan Taoist didn't answer, but looked seriously into Li Chuyi's eyes, his piercing eyes seeming to penetrate him. It took a long time before his expression showed emotion.

"I am me, but not me; I am the inner demon, but not the inner demon; it is your obsession, but not..."

"stop!"

Naoren'er was about to explode, so Li Chuyi quickly raised his hand to stop.

"Let's just tell you the result, and avoid those confusing parallel sentences!"

Without any worries, Taoist Sanyuan nodded with a smile: "I am Sanyuan."

"I...!!!"

Rolling his eyes wildly, Li Chu kept wanting to scold his mother.

I rambled on for a long time, but in the end I said nothing.

"Then let me change the question and ask you, am I dead?"

"Yes and no."

"Old man, do you believe I will slap you if you talk like that again?"

Li Chuyi finally couldn't help but explode.

Taoist Sanyuan still smiled and nodded: "Believe."

As his shoulders slumped, Li Chuyi was completely at a loss. He increasingly did not believe that the person in front of him could be his ancestor, the famous Sanyuan Taoist.

He had heard about the reputation of Sanyuan Taoist for a long time. In his impression, the Patriarch was either an immortal and compassionate person, or he was cold on the outside and hot on the inside and majestic. Neither of these could be like the one in front of him. His conversation seemed to be profound and incomprehensible, but he was actually pretentious. The profound and ambiguous words smelled like a liar. When this guy opened his mouth, he remembered the days when he followed the Taoist priests when he was a child. Every time the Taoist priest told people's fortunes, his face was exactly the same as the one he has now.

Seeing Li Chuyi's defeated look, Taoist Sanyuan burst into laughter.

"Do you think I'm tricking you?"

Li Chuyi rolled his eyes: "What do you think?"

Sanyuan Taoist asked instead: "Then do you think you are alive or dead?"

Li Chuyi said without hesitation: "Of course he is dead, why don't I see you damn ghost!"

"In that case, why can you still talk to me? Why can you still think, see me, and question my authenticity when death is nothing?"

"Well..."

Li Chuyi was stunned, thought for a while and asked uncertainly: "Then I'm not dead?"

"Since you are not dead, where are you now? Why can you see me, and why can you answer questions with me?"

"Stop! I'll slow down, I'm a little dizzy!"

Scratching his scalp hard, Li Chuyi was confused.

"Then am I dead or not?"

This time, Taoist Sanyuan did not say any more mysterious words such as "dead but not dead", but asked: "What do you think death is, and what is life?"

"have no idea."

Li Chuyi shook his head, he really didn't know.

Life and death are like yin and yang, everyone knows it, but no one can explain it clearly. No matter how accurate the answer is, it is just a self-righteous one-sided explanation. No one dares to say that they have understood the true meaning, not even Li Chuyi. Even his cultivation was handled by Dao Yanming, and he was forced to come up with it like a duck. They know how to use it, but they don’t understand the underlying principles.

Taoist Sanyuan smiled and said warmly: "In fact, it is not that complicated. There are many explanations of life and death, but it can be summed up in just eight words - one thought, just the heart."

"Weixin? Just live if you want to live and die if you want to die?"

Li Chuyi frowned, glared and asked: "What about longevity? What about birth, old age, illness and death? If it's like you said, is there any need to practice so hard? I just want to think about me desperately. If I want to live forever, won’t I be able to live forever?”

"Yes, that's the truth."

Sanyuan Taoist really nodded and said seriously: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the iron laws given by Heaven to all things. Just like the ebb and flow of Yin and Yang, there is no eternal thing allowed to exist in the world. The only eternal thing is chaos, which is all things. The source of eternity. Eternity is chaos, and chaos is nothingness. To reach eternity is to turn yourself into nothingness. It is both present and absent, and it is both present and empty. Only in this way can you get rid of the shackles and let yourself exist forever. But that has no meaning, and nothingness itself has no meaning. Any meaning that turns itself into nothingness is equivalent to making everything empty and returning to a meaningless existence. The reason why all things can exist is the result of multiple shackles. These shackles are the way of heaven, which can also be said to be fate. It can be said to be destiny. Therefore, both life and death are within the scope of heaven. They are defined in a narrow sense according to their different forms of existence. For humans, death is the end, but for ghosts, death is not the same. Where are the new students?”

Li Chuyi was even more confused: "Then why do you still need to practice? Just be content with life, old age, illness and death. Doesn't it mean immortality?"

"Because of lust!"

Taoist Sanyuan sighed softly.

"Whether people or ghosts, the reason why they want to practice cultivation is due to desire. They hope to continue to exist in this way. The living like life and hate death, and the dead like death and hate life. To put it bluntly, they don't want to be separated. Enter reincarnation and let everything disappear. Because of this idea, all living beings continue to explore the method of immortality, and then sublimate it to the grand meaning of exploring the principles of heaven, but no matter how good the gimmick is, it cannot conceal its essence, which is just desire. It is born from the heart, and the heart is gathered from the spirit. The soul is the foundation of all living beings, so it is said that a thought is only the heart."

Seeing that Li Chuyi didn't seem to understand, Taoist Sanyuan paused and spoke again.

"Just now you said that you don't need to practice, you can live forever with just an obsession. This method is not a fantasy, but it is more extreme and requires the assistance of great wisdom. If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. In addition to the literal meaning of this sentence, it also means On the road to enlightenment, death is not physical death, but a profound enlightenment through life and death. Most practitioners in the world use the Dharma to enter the Tao, and use the power of heaven and earth to enter their bodies to understand the secrets of heaven. However, there are also people with great wisdom who are unusual and only focus on enlightenment. The ultimate truth of heaven and earth, these people have no immortal magic power, but they are able to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth. They end up in the same way as we practitioners, but they can live in the world forever. It is rare, comparable to the appearance of your original soul. In just a few decades of life, you can understand the Tao that our monks have been trying to figure out for thousands of years. You can imagine how difficult it is, but it is not impossible no matter how difficult it is. This also shows the talent of the mind. It is the foundation. What we usually call life and death and the birth and death of heaven and earth are determined by the mind and can be reached with just one thought!"

"real or fake?"

When Li Chu heard this, his nose almost ran down.

Without practicing, just relying on meditation to figure out the secrets of heaven, you can complete the path that monks have taken for thousands of years in just a few decades. Is this true?

Sanyuan Taoist affirmed: "Of course it is true, there is such a person around you."

Li Chuyi was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he didn't expect to know such an awesome person.

Taoist Sanyuan smiled slightly: "The "Qianji Wanyan" compiled by your natal family, the Mu family, is one of them. However, "Qianji Wanyan" is a incomplete rubbing of "Tianyan Mingshu", and no one has It is not impossible to teach them the secrets, and no one in the Mu family has a sudden enlightenment. It is not impossible to do so, but it is inevitable to ignore the basics and ignore the weak points.

Li Chuyi suddenly realized.

Recalling the several times I saw the Mu family take action, they were clearly not as good as each other in cultivation, but they did not fall behind in the fight, and they were so mysterious and mysterious that people couldn't figure it out at all.

Thinking of Taoist priests again, Li Chuyi was even more enlightened.

If the "Dao Canon" were not inferior to the "Tian Yan Ming Shu", and Taoist priests have always been accustomed to push forward with heavy hands, the Taoist priests who rely solely on "Tian Yan Ming Shu" would never be that weak, and maybe they would be even more powerful than they are now. Hard to guard against.

There are also the four disciples of Taoist Sanyuan, both Dao Yanming and Dao Yanxuan. They are calculating and calculating, and the world is in chaos, but the people are unaware of it. This is because they know their opponents well. Others have probably already become adults, and there is no need to spend so much time dragging them to this point.

"What about me?" Li Chuyi asked, "Am I considered alive or dead now? Or am I stuck between life and death?"

The stuck sentence made Taoist Sanyuan burst into laughter, and then he solemnly shook his head.

"You are not a matter of life or death, you are a matter of existence or non-existence."

"To exist or not to exist?"

Li Chuyi was puzzled and frustrated that the old man always spoke so ambiguously.

This time Sanyuan Taoist did not make any more mystical words, and explained directly: "The fourth man planned to steal your original soul and let me be reborn, but the original soul and body are solid, indestructible and cannot be taken away, so he plotted a The method is to completely dissipate your desires into nothingness, so that the original soul becomes a soulless empty shell for me to take over. He will continue to stimulate your mind and make you have thoughts of self-destruction. When this thought comes, When you exceed the limit of what you say you can endure, your mind will collapse, your existence will be wiped out by your own desires, and your mind will be annihilated, and your desires will disappear with it. It is a brilliant calculation."

At the end of the sentence, Taoist Sanyuan showed a bright expression, as if he was very pleased with his apprentice's conspiracy.

Li Chu's face turned dark. He couldn't figure out what the old man meant, and he couldn't speak in a good tone.

"Then why are you here? Say goodbye to me before I die, and see me, this suffering man, to give you comfort in your heart?"

Sanyuan Taoist came back to his senses, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Of course not, don't get me wrong, I am only pleased with the method used by the fourth child. The method of resurrection has been studied painstakingly by countless people since ancient times, and there are all kinds of methods. , but all ended in failure. So far, no new method has been created. Those who want to do this are just constantly improving on the basis of their predecessors. Only Lao Si has an ingenious idea of ​​gathering souls with thoughts and stealing souls with souls. Occupy the soulless soul and be reborn triumphantly. Although this method is still not perfect and has many loopholes, the awakening of my consciousness has proven that Lao Si’s method is feasible and far superior to his predecessors. I am doing this for him. I am happy with my thoughts and understanding.”

Li Chuyi was even more speechless. He couldn't even muster the strength to scold his mother. He turned his head away from looking at the old man's face.

The perspectives of masters at the realm of Sanyuan Taoist are completely different from ordinary people. Regardless of whether they are miserable or not, what they value is breakthroughs in the principles of heaven and earth and the secrets of Taoism.

Yes, saint, is this a saint?
