Chapter 35 Xue Ye's Daoism

Hua Lanting and Lin Xian were living in the same room. Tonight, they were a little restless and had no sleepiness for no reason. So they put on their clothes and came to the terrace outside the house to put a pot of wine and sit down to enjoy the snow.

The night was dark outside and the snow was flying. Lin Xian said in shock: "The weather here is a bit strange. I originally wanted to make a divination to tell the good or bad luck of this trip, but the divination image was messy and difficult to form. This rarely happens." Hua Lanting also said after hearing this: "Yes, it's difficult for me to enter into meditation. There is indeed something strange here."

Just as the two were looking at the sky silently, the door beside them rang, and Yi Liunian and Zhuge Yun also came out, "I want to snow in the sky, can I drink a cup?" Yi Liunian said loudly: "You two are so elegant but don't call us, it's not interesting."

Lin Xian replied in shock: "The mountains are lonely and drinking alone at snowy nights. What an artistic thing. I'm calling you nothing to lose the scenery, but just playing the piano against a cow."

Yi Liunian's face turned dark: "Are you please play the piano? I didn't say anything if I play it so badly, only those who play the piano are sick."

"Hahaha!" Hua Lanting smiled and said, "Zhuge, is it more painful to play the piano for a cow or is it more painful to a human?"

Zhuge Yun continued expressionlessly: "Qin is the most painful."

"I'm most painful!" Mu Zi's voice sounded behind him. When the four of them looked back, they were Mu Zi and Yijun leading Feng Qingjun and the four girls over.

Mu Zi continued to scold, "You guys don't sleep in the middle of the night, and the sound is still so loud. Do you know that Taoism pays the most attention to health preservation? Haven't you heard that a disciple named Zhao of a sect recently died of sudden alcoholism? Why did I teach you useless things?"

Yi Liunian licked his face and said, "Mr. Mu, I don't allow you to say that to yourself. What you teach is useful? When it comes to staying up late, I sincerely advise everyone here to avoid sudden death, so as not to have a surname Zhao!"

After hearing this, Mu Zi laughed: "Boy, stop talking nonsense, you are only useful. Go and order a few plates of beef and pour me a glass of wine. Tonight I will treat it as a late-night snack dinner before the training."

Yi Liunian beats the snake and sticks on it: "Mr. Mu, I think you should add the word "please", which will make you polite."

Mu Zixu kicked: "Be polite, please come up with beef and old wine quickly. Is that OK?"

"Well, okay, then I'll treat you. As long as you check out, it's not a problem." Yi Liunian went down to order food.

Everyone then sat down. After the food and food were ready, the man whispered between the two. Hua Lanting suddenly asked Mu Zi: "You just mentioned health preservation, but we are restless here. It is difficult for us to enter into meditation and practice, and it is difficult for us to fall asleep and rest. How should we raise this life?"

Mu Zi thought about it and replied: "Your question is a bit big, I'll try to answer part of it first."

"First of all, there are three situations: one is immersed in the troubles of the past, the second is to fall into delusions about the future, and the third is to have external forces affect your mood. ""No matter what the situation is, you are actually competing with yourself and in a state of discomfort. Your soul and consciousness are not consistent with your life and body at the moment, or in other words, your heart feels that you should fall asleep and expect to fall asleep, but on the other hand, your body is affected by the complex thoughts in reality and cannot fall asleep at this moment. To put it bluntly, it is all you do to do. "

"No one in this world can hurt you, the one who really stabs you is yourself."

"This is of course because you have not yet practiced to achieve freedom. Neither of me. Freedom is the ultimate goal pursued by us practitioners. Perhaps there are more lofty goals above this, which is not something you and I can imagine at this stage."

"But in terms of health preservation, there is a simple state that ordinary people should have experienced, that is, they are about to fall asleep but not fall asleep, as if they have already entered a dream, but you can hear the person next to them talking. ""This is a critical point. If you keep that critical point, you can communicate with the world, absorb energy from all things in the world, accumulate strength, and then release it with some method and technique, which is manifested as the effects of martial arts, magical powers, and martial arts."

"And this world is composed of different life forms, information exchange methods, and a variety of matter and energy, resulting in different methods of cultivation and factions."

Yi Liunian interjected: "Sometimes when I meditate or stand, I will enter a state that seems to be sitting but not sitting, seems to be standing but not standing, seems to be awake but not awake, seems to be empty but not empty, seems to be urine but not urine, but I will soon get out."

Mu Zi smiled and said, "The words are rough but not rough. The reason is this. The longer you maintain, the deeper your skills and the stronger your control over your spirit and body."

Hua Lanting asked again: "Taoism believes in eternal life, emphasizes the body, seeks freedom; Buddhism believes in reincarnation, emphasizes the mind, seeks liberation. So which is more important, the spirit or the body?"

Mu Zui replied: "It's still the same sentence. Different paths are the same, and all things are the same. It's like a blind man touching an elephant. Whether it's Taoism, Buddhism, demonism, ghost path, spiritual path, etc., everyone just has different population forms and different positions. The entry points and paths of practice are different. Perhaps there are high and low, order, good and evil, and good and evil, forming a competitive and cooperative relationship, but in essence they are all about pursuing some form of eternal life."

Yi Liunian asked in confusion: "Didn't it mean that good and evil are incompatible? Don't we also want to destroy the people of the devil when we come here?"

Mu Zi nodded and shook his head: "I can't give you the correct answer. What I know is that this world is diverse, our plane is just a drop in the ocean, and there are many forms of life in the universe that exist in the universe. However, human beings have a very small number of life. "" From the perspective of the origin, history, era, and pattern of the universe, everything is constantly continuous and continuous cycle in the air of development, existence and destruction; and from the perspective of individuals and humans, the so-called unkind world is in the unkindness of the world and treating all things as straw dogs, we are very sad, pitiful, and small, and will always be manipulated and entangled by unknown laws and high-level life forms through concepts, emotions, desires and so-called accidental events. But from the perspective of cultivators, we are lucky, because the only way to master our own destiny is to practice, and not all lives have such opportunities."

"The Taoist theory is that he does not value wiseness, and believes that from different time and space and levels, right and wrong, good and evil, good and evil are relative, and good and bad are relative values ​​at a certain level. ""The so-called good is not close to reputation, and evil is not close to punishment, and the source and supervision are the sutra. That is to say, following the middle way and using basic value judgment as the criterion, everything is not excessive or out of standard. "" Therefore, wine, sex, wealth, and energy can be maintained in moderation; greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and asceticism are Bodhi." "But there is a section where good things are done too ruthlessly and bad things are done too extreme will be very dangerous and punished."

"In the view of our Taoist sect, the Right Way Method is to enlighten people's good thoughts, reason, voluntarily, freely, and without conditions to practice. The evil way of the Demon Way is to lead people into the Tao by inspiring greed, desire and temptation to force and coercion. "The two have different ideas and are opposites, and the different Taos do not plan for each other. The prevalence of evil ways will inevitably compress the living space of the Right Way, so fighting is inevitable."

"If you think that the way of heaven is ruthless, the survival of the fittest is the norm, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong, good or bad, and the coexistence and fighting between various schools and sects is the norm. In this case, when resources are limited, any path you choose to prove the truth will conflict with other especially opposite aspects. ""If you don't think this is the norm, whether you want to be the only one or only ask for common and different aspects to be peaceful, but in the reality of biodiversity, there are always others who don't think so, so they still cannot avoid fighting."

"As for which is more important, the spirit or the body, it is just a different focus. ""The sky represents all invisible things, and the earth represents all tangible things. With the connection, collision, communication, time and space, and in the state of harmony between heaven and earth, through temporary docking, it is not something you can permanently have." "The emotional memory represented by the spirit and the relationship between us and all sentient beings in the world and ruthless sentient beings can be continuously preserved in different ways as an information carrier. From this perspective, the body is just a stinky skin, and the Buddhist paths all attach importance to the cultivation of the spirit."

"But in the eyes of Taoism, you cannot control the body you have in this life, the substance, materiality, and hard things, how can you control the soft, spiritual, and non-material things? "" So Taoism believes that its body is a small, miniaturized cosmic system ecosystem, so it emphasizes the dual cultivation of nature and life, the physical body becomes enlightened, and the physical body is the medium, method process and means for us to enter the Tao. "" Therefore, Taoism does not emphasize spiritual cultivation. In addition to practicing the physical body through exercises, our practice also includes increasing wisdom and vision through continuous experience. ""When you can stand from a different perspective,

After seeing various possibilities in the same time and space, we have established a diverse perspective of perspectives such as front, back, left, left, right, inner, and outside, short, long, and near. Only then can we no longer be entangled and more comfortable. Only then can we know that the world does not deserve it, but it is all worth it, and we can treat the impermanence and helplessness of the world with an impermanence and natural mentality. A gentleman is a gentleman, a villain is a villain, a smart person is smart, and a stupid person is stupid. ""The game has rules, but the game always has loopholes. After the experience is thorough, it is natural that everything is dispensable, and it is impossible to be irrelevant. This is what is called the so-called all defilements are suffering, all actions are impermanent, and all dharmas have no self."

Yi Liunian said, "Isn't this just pretending to be stupid when you should be stupid, and pretending to be stupid when you should be stupid?"

Mu Zi looked at him and replied, "Come on, as long as you continue to work hard to pretend, there is nothing you can do."

Yi Liunian stuck out his tongue and said, "Isn't this interactive and active atmosphere? Besides, what I said is wrong?"

While talking, he looked around and asked Zhuge Yun: "Zhuge, how did you keep calm and quiet at any time?"

Zhuge Yun said coldly: "Because I never argue with the brainless, I usually stop talking and then say to him: Well, you're right."

"But you are completely escaping like this? It doesn't make sense. You can't handle it well." Yi Liunian argued.

"Well, you're right." Hua Lanting, Lin Xianjing and Zhuge Yun said in unison.

After everyone laughed, they digested Mu Zi's words for a while. Feng Qingjun asked: "I understand a little bit about cultivation and experience. These will consume our inner and external energy, including our spirit and physical body. So what did Lanting ask just now? How to supplement and increase the loss?"

Mu Zi smiled and said, "I am not afraid of meat and vegetables. Regarding health preservation, or you, Master Yun, have a say."
