Chapter 1594 Laozi's Great Enlightenment

17 and a half years old?

He beat people and wanted to cripple them, and then winked at me before leaving.

Her behavior is totally inconsistent with her age. Since it is inconsistent, it raises doubts. This young girl master is not innocent, but in fact she can be innocent without showing so much.

Just when we were about to take a step forward, the village chief came again...

What the hell are you holding back?

"Lei Zhen, now you have returned to your master's sect." The village chief smiled.

"I've recognized you. I have a new little master." Lei Zhen grinned and said, "We were just discussing dual cultivation, and then you, the village chief, showed up. Haha."

"Dual cultivation?"

"Yeah, how can I increase my power without dual cultivation?"

"You and your newly recognized master are working together... well, I don't know much about the training methods. I'm only responsible for the technology part, so I can't make any judgments."

What can people say when they start talking about dual cultivation?

"What do you think, Taoist Wuming?" Lei Zhen asked.

"The Tao is invisible and compassionate." The nameless Taoist priest didn't say much.

"I understand!" Lei Zhen said with gratitude, "Master, what you mean is that we can't have inner demons. Since we've decided on a cultivation mode, we must develop it according to the desired mode. The invisible Tao has the Tao, right? Since I've decided on dual cultivation, I must follow the path of dual cultivation, otherwise I will be destroyed by the inner demons. Simply put, the Tao is invisible and simple. This is what we Taoists call compassion! The Tao gives birth to compassion, and compassion is the Tao..."

Taoist Wuming was stunned. Even though he had advanced cultivation, he was shocked by the shameless interpretation of the guy in front of him: The inner demon is the inner demon, and Taoism can still show mercy?

What the hell is this? It has nothing to do with that!

It's complete nonsense, gibberish, are you crazy?

"Master Wuming disagrees?" Lei Zhen asked doubtfully, "The Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. Existence is the Tao. To a certain extent, technology is also the Tao. The village chief should have more say. For example, binary system, it is actually the three that gave birth to all things."

The village chief was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

When it comes to computing, binary can calculate everything, and its essence is 0 to 9.

"So Buddha is originally the Tao, I am originally the Tao, whatever I want to do is the Tao, whatever I don't want to do is also the Tao, dual cultivation is the Tao, asceticism is also the Tao. Since they are all the Tao, I have to follow my heart and be compassionate--" Lei Zhen gave the ultimate explanation.

Everything is Tao. The so-called Tao heart means that the donor dies first and the poor Taoist dies later.

He may not learn other things quickly, but he only needs a little touch on the core of Tianji Sect and he can grasp it immediately.

"Master Tianji is absolutely right. Please be merciful." Master Wuming nodded.

What else can I say?

The Tao can be understood in any way. Buddhism has boundaries, but the Tao has no boundaries at all. No matter whether you are Jesus or Tathagata, you are all Tao.

To put it simply, whether idealism or materialism, it is all included in it.

Everything I say is right, everything I say is appropriate. If you don’t agree with what I say, it means you don’t understand my way. Since you don’t understand my way, why should I talk to you?

"I suddenly understood. I wonder if Taoist Wuming could introduce me to some Taoist companions?" Lei Zhen said sincerely, "Practicing together and learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses is a beautiful thing."

It’s too much, too much!

I have never seen such a shameless thing. He asked for a few Taoist companions right away. He is so shameless.

"Mercy, I, your disciple, cultivate the Way of Heaven and Earth, not the Way of Heaven and Earth, and we do not practice dual cultivation." The nameless Taoist priest maintained his composure and said, "Elder Tianji, aren't you wondering about the way to immortality? I can help you with some of your questions."

Changing the subject, he didn't want to discuss dual cultivation anymore, nor did he want to discuss their respective paths, otherwise it would be endless.

"Immortality is not the Tao, it is just an illusion. If I don't seek immortality, I won't have inner demons. If I seek immortality, the inner demons will accompany me. So I have realized it, please be merciful!" Lei Zhen smiled and bowed.

This, this...

Taoist Wuming was a little confused. He came to analyze the development of metaphysics, and longevity was naturally the best entry point. Moreover, the other party asked this first when he came.

"Throughout history, there have always been people who ascended to heaven in broad daylight..."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Lei Zhen smiled and shook his head, as if he had finally attained enlightenment.

"If ordinary people cultivate to the extreme, their lifespan can be extended by at least a hundred years, or as much as..."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Lei Zhen shook his head again, completely enlightened.

His enlightenment was not a true comprehension of the Tao, it did not matter whether it was about prolonging life or achieving immortality, but he figured out one thing - the villagers wanted to guide him to believe in immortality!

From the beginning, they told themselves explicitly and implicitly that they were studying immortality, which was divided into two paths: technology and metaphysics, but there was a deviation.

Why do we say there is a deviation?

Of course, I wanted to arouse my own interest to the greatest extent possible: what deviations occurred? Does immortality really exist? And so on...

Although Lei Zhen still couldn't see clearly what kind of situation he was in, it didn't mean that he couldn't grasp the details. The other party wanted him to believe that immortality existed in this world.

In his experience, don't believe anything others try to make you believe, because there must be a trap.

Otherwise, why should you believe it?

Behind every "believe me" lies the interests of the person who says it. Only by making others believe it can one gain his own interests.

"I don't care whether I live forever or not. I just want to live happily." Lei Zhen lit a cigarette and took a puff. "The so-called immortality in metaphysics is nothing more than spiritual immortality, not physical immortality."

He paused and looked at the nameless Taoist priest.

"We cultivators all have our ancestors, but they've long since passed away. Isn't the reason we remember them so that their spirits live on?"

"Thank you, Taoist Wuming, for giving me great enlightenment. Thank you for your kindness!"

Spiritual immortality, there is no way to refute it.

This is the most reliable way to achieve immortality in the human world. As long as the spirit is passed down, one can become an immortal.

"Taoist Tianji is very wise and compassionate." Taoist Wuming bowed.

There's no way to talk anymore because I've talked about everything.

Seeing this situation, the village chief took Lei Zhen and said goodbye to the nameless Taoist priest, left this metaphysical village, and headed for the industrial town, or the steam age.

It's really hard to get used to being suddenly pulled away from metaphysics.

Fortunately, Lei Zhen can adapt to various environments and role changes, so his reaction is not that serious.

"A car can run on water? I understand that!"

"Village Chief, boiling water is everything. A nuclear power plant is nothing more than a larger kettle, using the steam principle to generate electricity..."

No matter what it is, Lei Zhen can talk about it.

It’s not that he understands everything, but that he won’t make up for it, even if he only has a partial understanding.

"Lei Zhen, human development proceeds step by step. Industry is the concentrated application of science and technology, and it also means moving from life science to natural science."

"Boil the water."

"You could also think of it as boiling water, but from this era on, humans broke away from their worship of gods and began to deeply explore life..."

Another thing happened, which confirmed Lei Zhen’s guess again: This group of people just want me to believe it!

Don’t you know that Laozi is particularly good at making use of faith?

Never mind, let’s just follow their pace and see what this so-called holy land is trying to do.
