There is a skill in speaking, and it is actually a skill to follow people's preferences.

For example, Lao Bai, Lao Bai loves chatting. When it comes to women, if you talk to him about "beauty is in the bones but not in the skin", "independence and inner freedom" and other advanced aesthetics, he will definitely not understand, but you

If you talk to him about black stockings, white stockings, fleshy silk stockings, and a pair of super beautiful feet that are "slightly trembling, and the stockings are dusty", this foot fetishist's blood pressure will soar to 200, and he will immediately lead you to the center of your life.

My best friend, I will hold you for a long talk all night long, and then I will sleep with you.

It's useless to talk to a gorilla about your life ideals. You might as well talk to him about the bananas on the tree.

By the same token, when it comes to issues of spiritual practice, these people in the Zhenwu Temple...it's useless for you to tell them that "the Tao follows nature, the Tao is in the heart". The only thing they are interested in is how good you are at fighting, and

When saying how much you can fight, it's best to quantify it more specifically. For example, if you say you can flatten a mountain with one sword, then they will immediately greet you with a smile. Everything you say is correct.

Because I know them so well, I asked them what they were thinking simply and rudely. Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lao Bai and Brother Yaozi immediately sat upright, Wu Shuang was scratching their feet, and Xing Guili was also reluctant to leave.

He looked away from the pornographic magazine.

My master, however, did not understand the simple and crude brains of these people. He frowned for a moment and said softly: "I don't know."

After a pause, he thought again and again, and then said: "For example, if the earth becomes the sea, there is a blind turtle whose life span is immeasurable, and it comes out every hundred years. There are driftwood in the sea, with only one hole, drifting in the waves, and going east and west in the wind. The blind turtle

If a tortoise comes out of nowhere in a hundred years, should it encounter this hole?

The road has no end. You and I, masters and disciples, have all been travelers. We followed the crowd in confusion, because someone said that on the other side of the road is freedom, eternal life, and no more resentment in our hearts. So, you and I all fought bravely to cross the road.

, just seek that transcendence.

Now I turned around halfway and saw a 'hole'. I penetrated through it and saw another world. No one has ever said that there is such a world, so I don't know."

then……

Wushuang continued to pick his feet with his head down, while Xing Guili exhaled and continued to look down at his pornographic magazine.

Of course, there are also those who are impatient. For example, Lao Bai kept scratching his head, looking like a gorilla, and said anxiously: "Oh, Mr. Zhang, can you say something we can understand?"

.”

My master smiled and said nothing.

But I was overjoyed because I already had the answer.

I said before that Buddhism and Taoism both belong to Taoism and have learned from each other for thousands of years. Some concepts have long been indistinguishable between you and me, so my master simply used some Buddhist principles to explain.

His words, "It's like the earth has turned into a sea." It comes from the Zaagama Sutra. This is what the Buddha said to the monks. It probably means that it's like the earth has turned into a sea, and a blind turtle has the lifespan.

Infinitely, it takes a hundred years to stick its head out of the water in such a sea. There is a piece of wood floating in the sea with a hole in the middle. It is floating in the wind in the waves. Can a blind turtle stick its head out of this air just after a hundred years?

?

The answer is definitely no.

The wood is floating in the sea from east to west, and the little turtle only pokes its head in every hundred years. How can it happen to pass through it? The chance is almost zero.

What this actually means is that the chance of being reincarnated as a human being in the six realms of reincarnation is pitifully small.

My master compares the path of spiritual practice to a struggle. At the end of the practice, the so-called transformation into an immortal is when the blind turtle happens to poke its head through the small hole in the middle of the driftwood in the sea. The chance is so small that it is almost negligible.

Countless cultivators in the Xuanmen world are the sentient beings in the six realms who are struggling to pursue reincarnation as humans, all pursuing a sad probability.

Along the way, there are despair, anger, the warmth and warmth of human relationships, and the harshness of the world. Youdao is the vicissitudes of heaven. How many people can understand the pain in it?

So, my master turned around in the struggle, and in despair, he saw the hole in the driftwood in the sea, so... he passed through it, and what he saw was another world.

He felt that the path he turned around and walked backwards was the path to true transcendence, but this was different from what he imagined, so he didn't know.

"Anyone who can turn around in reverse and wake up when millions of people are sleeping can be called a saint. This is the case with the great saints in the world!"

I looked at Lao Bai and explained as patiently as I could: "Do you remember some of the guesses I made about my master's cultivation path before? Now, it's true. My master now says he is a heavenly master, but he is not a heavenly master.

He surpasses the Celestial Master, but does not surpass the Celestial Master. He has escaped from the traditional level, and you cannot define and measure it. I even think that this is a level that can be called a saint in the human world, but if it must be measured by a realm of cultivation, then

Just think of him as a Heavenly Master, but this Heavenly Master no longer relies on his own power limitations, his will determines his strength..."

I have proposed this speculation a long time ago, and now I have received my master's description of some of my feelings, which has gradually confirmed it.

However, after all, my master has just stepped into this level. As he said, he turned around in the middle of his practice and suddenly saw a small hole, which penetrated through. Behind him was a world that no one had ever seen before, and everything was strange.

, he needs to adapt, need to explore, and need to explore this world step by step. There are still too many things waiting for him to figure out. This adaptation period does not mean one or two months, one or two years. He has opened up a unique world.

It may take decades or even a lifetime to explore your own path.

Lao Bai suddenly said thoughtfully: "So, Mr. Zhang's path... is indeed different from Taoism.

Why do I feel that it's a bit like...a bit like your etiquette officer!!!

You, the Liguan sect...when you reach the Tianguan level, don't you no longer rely too much on your own earth spirit beads, but fight through the power of the earth veins?"

hiss……

I haven't thought of this yet, but after he said this, it seems that there are indeed some similarities!

Even my master was deeply touched. He thought thoughtfully and said softly: "Perhaps this is the fate between you and me as master and disciple. Pursuing the Tianguan Road with you is not a reference for me.

A kind of... enlightenment?"

Before he finished speaking, he frowned and his eyes suddenly turned cold. He turned to look at Chadao and sneered: "He Fang Xiaoxiao is actually peeping in the dark!!"

I saw him flicking his fingers, and the branches at the entrance of the forked road immediately exploded, and from the depths of the forked road, there was a sudden and extremely sad scream, short and fast, and then fell into silence.

As if nothing happened...
