Hua Lanting nodded thoughtfully: "Then, Elder Yu, the so-called Taoist heart is hard. In your opinion, what is Tao? What is the heart?"

Chen Luan coughed dryly and said leisurely: "Well, when you cultivate to the point where the void lands, you will be able to achieve enlightenment."

Hua Lanting was inexplicably so, and he kept chasing him and asked again: "Dare you ask when the void can land?"

Chen Luan cleared his throat again and replied seriously: "When you become enlightened."

Hua Lanting said: "This is too mysterious."

Chen Luan hummed twice: "This is a Zen strategy, which has a profound meaning, and it depends on your understanding."

"Why do Zen Buddhism often asks chickens and dogs, referring to the east and west? The so-called asking people without fixed answers, and there is no fixed answer. The nature of the questioner is different and the way of answering is also different. This is called teaching according to his aptitude."

"Whether you can achieve enlightenment and when you can achieve enlightenment is fundamentally unpredictable. For an unknowable question, the best way to answer is to look at each other from the beginning and end, and repeat the cycle."

"Even if I am, I dare not speak vainly. The ancestor of Tao said: Tao can be told, it is very Tao. It means that Tao can be said, but it is not Tao in the true sense. The Tao that people usually think and understand are only a small part of Tao."

"It is also said that those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know. The forced name is Tao, but for the sake of expression, he has to give a name to communicate and use. I have not attained Tao either, so when you ask me, I can only say it, and you have to listen."

Hua Lanting seemed to feel something, but the feeling was like snow mud and rooster claws, and it was as hard as the drizzle and plum blossoms. So he let it go for the time being and asked again: "What is the heart?"

Chen Luan raised his hand and pointed to the sky. A skylight suddenly opened in the dark space, revealing a vast sky. The bright moonlight and starlight in the sky were shining, and white clouds were floating. The peaks, trees, streams, ponds, and animals were clearly visible, and frog sounds came from time to time.

"Look at the cloud, it's like my heart. This heart does not move, it moves randomly."

"The cloud seems to be still, but in fact, it will be very different if you wait for a while. People cannot tell whether the cloud is good or bad at this moment, and they should not expect what it will look like. Therefore, they will not generally feel dissatisfied with it."

"If you think the clouds are free, your heart will be free. But the clouds roll and the clouds are like the ups and downs of life. Clouds are actually free. But people are not free."

Hua Lanting closed his eyes, thought for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes and continued to ask: "Senior mentioned Zen before, I must also understand Buddhism. What I want to ask is, what are the similarities and differences between Taoism and Buddhism, which one is higher or lower?"

Chen Luan laughed: "You are really smart. Not bad. I was a Confucian scholar earlier, and then studied Buddhism. Then I was lucky enough to enter the Taoist sect. I am one of the few people who participated in this sect, so if you have some experience, it would be better to share with you one or two."

"From our Taoist position, the great way can be said to contain all the things, including tangible and intangible, including time, space, low dimension, high dimension, and blackness, white path, Buddhist path, Confucianism path, demon path, etc., including all thoughts and ideologies."

"However, as mentioned earlier, Tao is just a name. At a higher level and realm, the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the same, just as those who are close to the ideal state call them real people, supreme people, saints, wise men, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, but they are just called differently."

"People in different fields, when they advance to a certain level, are actually almost the same."

"The so-called great masters, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and ancient sages are all people who can directly connect with the universe and the truth in the clouds. I dare not guess what is up, but from the known classics, they represent the ultimate state that an individual can pursue as a life.

Total, omniscient, omnipotent, and obsessed with one's heart, yet warm, peaceful, happy, and at ease, giving people a faint sense of joy, but not a strong sense of oppression."

"One of the core views of Zhou Yi is: to stay in the law and keep the constant, and to be in harmony with the power and change, they know what kind of state they are in and can maintain this state, but at the same time they are very sensitive to changes in the outside world and can actively embrace change."

"This state may not be achieved even if we spend our entire life, but this does not prevent you from knowing that there is such a state, and that someone has reached there before."

"When we feel suspicious, indignant, fear, and greed, this is a coordinate for us to correct our words and deeds."

"If you have to give an example, I want to use the word "Confucian supreme benevolence."

"People often say that benevolent is invincible. Benevolence can be, but it does not only refer to be kindness, kindness, loyalty, filial piety, and sympathy."

"In fact, in my opinion, what Ren should say is not a character, but a ability! A ability that can communicate and adapt to all things without being influenced by the outside world."

"Only in this way can you be called invincible. Otherwise, you should know that from ancient times to the present, there have been many people who have benevolent hearts but cannot achieve success or achieve enlightenment. Where can those who are benevolent have invincible? The character of benevolent people is that they are simply enemies around them!"

"Mr. Confucius is actually a good person who integrates idealism and realism. He is full of yearning and pursuit of the way of a gentleman, and at the same time he is always alert to the various dangers brought by the cruelty of reality and the shortcomings of human nature."

"If you only pursue your ideals, you can easily put yourself in a dangerous situation; if you are willing to be mediocre and stay in your comfort zone, but don't have the ideals of a gentleman in your heart, then morality will easily fall."

"As for the difference, there are naturally some paths and methods to reach the peak."

"So Taoism believes that many things are just different, and there is no distinction between right and wrong, right and wrong, and superior."

"For example, although my Taoist school also emphasizes the lack of teachings, they will choose disciples based on virtue and qualifications. We believe that many people and many things have destiny and talent. Practicing Taoism is an extremely difficult event that concerns life and death. Taoism is not very willing to support anyone to try."

"Look at the ivy in the mountains, even if it faces a rock wall, it can grow by relying on its own strength. If you change to the vines, you can try not to set up a stand?"

"Looking at this cactus again, you can live well without anyone paying attention. How about keeping a basin of Phalaenopsis? If there is too much water, you will die of death if there is less water. If there is hot, you will die of death if there is cold."

"So, every plant has its own goodness, each plant has its own correct way of opening, each has its own way, and explore the path that suits you. Others can refer to, but they cannot blindly follow it."

"To put it simply, what is Tao? Can people attain Tao? In terms of affirmation, Tao is the way, and everyone can walk, otherwise it is not Tao. In terms of negative, not everyone can achieve Tao, because people have inner demons."

"A person has the possibility of enlightenment, but having does not mean it is, it does not mean being able, it does not mean walking. Everyone can walk the way, but they can walk to the end and to the extreme, and there are very few people who keep going. This is an indisputable fact and reality."

"Taoism takes one angle, and Buddhism takes another angle."

"Buddhist wants to pick up everyone, but he will not let everyone go, and no one can be left behind. Buddhism believes that everyone has Buddha nature and everything has Buddha nature. This is a kind of great compassion, great wishes, great knowledge, and great behavior. This is an ideal and vision that must be fought for."

"I am a man who is a double-grained Buddha and Taoism. In my eyes, I think it is like showing my hands, and Buddha is like clenching fists. Fist is also a hand, the hand is also a fist, the hand is the body of the fist, and the fist is the use of the hand."

"I said that it is very difficult to achieve enlightenment when you fall into the void. Because the void is right in front of you, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism are all in it, but the void cannot be moved. It has no increase or decrease, it is neither born nor destroyed, and it accommodates all things. How can it land on the ground?"

Hua Lanting was completely immersed in Chen Lu'an's words, and at this moment, he asked unconsciously: "Is it so difficult? Difficulties are for overcoming. Since someone has achieved it, there is still a way to go."

Chen Luan laughed and said, "You are not bad, I know what I mean in my words. It's very good. Not only is there a way, but there are many lines. Buddha has methods and Taoism has magic. Even if there is no way, we must create a great way to heaven!"

"The void has no increase, decrease, birth and death as a whole, but it is not impossible to do it locally. It accumulates a small amount and becomes a lot. When you are integrated with it and are not separated from each other, you will do whatever you want!"

"Dreams must always be available, what if they cannot be realized? What do you think?"

When Hua Lanting saw Chen Luan looking at him with a smile, he suddenly became happy and said, "You are right. If you can't realize it, it means that if you can't realize it, and 999% of it can be realized."

Chen Luan laughed loudly: "I am not stingy in the door, so I will give you a magical power. Come and see!"

Chen Luan raised his hand, and a thing flew out, turning into a narrow and slender bottle in the air.

Hua Lanting looked carefully and saw that there was nothing strange about the bottle body, but there was only a hidden world inside. The clouds and mist seemed to appear and peaks appeared. Especially the bottom of the bottle was light and dark, as if two objects were stirring, and there was no clue.

What's even more magical is that the crescent moon in the sky shines, and a moon also appears in the bottle, but it continues to evolve from the crescent hook to the full moon.

Chen Luan asked, "What can you see from it?"

Hua Lanting was a little confused: "I can't see clearly in the bottle, but the reflected moon is sometimes pointed and sometimes round. Does this mean Tai Chi Yin and Yang?"

Chen Luan asked again: "Where did the round appearance go when the moon is pointed? Where did the round appearance go when the moon is round? ""

Hua Lanting: "When the point is sharp, the round face is hidden, and when the round faces, the pointed face is in. The pointed face is just a manifestation of the whole round face, and when the round face becomes round, the tip is contained in it."

Chen Luan continued: "No, when the point is sharp, the round face is there, and when the round face is no sharp face. The reason why the moon is considered sharp is because there is a round face in people's hearts, and the reason why the moon is called round is because it has no sharp face. Come again."

Hua Lanting thought for a while: "It is not sharp when it is sharp, and it is not round when it is round. The sharp is not the point of the moon, and the round is not the full moon. Everything is an illusion created by the mind."

Chen Luan nodded with satisfaction: "The understanding is not bad, and he has not been surrounded by it. Just like what you experienced in the illusion before, seeing may not be true, but depends on the sensing of your heart."

"This world has black and white, but more of a gray area in the middle, with extreme cathode and yang, and more common is a chaotic state of mixing with each other, and the same is true for good or bad."

"What's more amazing is that it can also be reversed by black and white and transformed by yin and yang. In many cases, the opposite and contrary things are expressed in the same way. For example: Hua Lanting, you are very good, you are very great."

Hua Lanting: "Yes. Is your object useful for eggs? Is your object useful for eggs?"

Chen Luan: "If it is useful or not, you need to care. If it is useful or not, you need to care."

Hua Lanting: "I miss you so much. You miss me so much."

Chen Luan: "Can you lie to me like this? You can't lie to me like this."

Hua Lanting: "Are you afraid you are a fool? Are you afraid you are not a fool?"

Chen Luan: "I think you understand. If these words have multiple words, the meaning is the same. If these words have multiple words, the meaning is the same? The positive and negative contain the principles of yin and yang."

"My treasure is called Yunshui Qingshan Bottle, and it is embedded in the Wuji Pisces Formation. However, before the Taoist sect teaches your skills, I will ask you again, how do you feel in the coma in the previous part?"

Hua Lanting thought for a while: "Many, hot and cold, dark, sober, confusion, fear, pain, numbness, itching, sleepiness..."

Chen Luan said maliciously: "There are not enough, there are still many waiting for you later. You are like sweet, rebellious, cherishing sour, reproaching, and numb body and mind... OK, I won't spoil it."

"If you ask you the last question, be sure to think about it and answer it again. This is related to whether you have a fate with this magic. Tell me, what is the feeling that impresses you the most?"
