Chapter 56: Fu Xian’s ears and ears are empty(1/3)
"Senior Brother Ping'an!"
Gu Qingcheng laughed sarcastically:
"It's better you do it, I can't defeat them."
Li Ping'an handed the wine glass to Gu Qingcheng and said slowly: "What you heard and heard is not a disturbance from external objects. It should not affect your Taoist mind."
"Hey," Gu Qingcheng took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The small depression in Tao's heart quietly dissipated.
Li Ping'an looked at the four people in front of him, glanced at the casual cultivators floating outside the attic, and sighed slightly in his heart.
This is probably the downside of making friends.
After talking to Gu Qingcheng a lot, we have developed a friendship, but we can't see his heart being affected.
Dugu Mei, a disciple of the Guanhai Sect, said loudly again:
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat!"
Li Ping'an made an invitation gesture and led Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu forward. He didn't answer and sat directly opposite the four of them.
Dugumei seemed to find it quite interesting and asked the same question again:
"Fellow Taoist didn't respond, why did you come to sit down?"
"I agreed from the bottom of my heart, my Taoist friends have never heard of it."
Li Pingan put the wine bottle in front of him and said with a smile:
"When it comes to spiritual practice, cultivating the mind, cultivating deeds, and cultivating oneself, if my mind responds, I respond. My Taoist friends' ears have not heard it, so why can't it be that my Taoist friends' ears are not working well?"
The four Guanhaimen disciples opened their eyes at the same time, with a faint smile on their lips, and looked at Li Ping'an with great interest.
Then Dugumei asked with a smile: "What do you call fellow Taoist?"
Li Ping'an said: "A name is nothing more than an external thing. A name is amazing. Those who cannot attain the Dao cannot attain the Dao. A name is mediocre. If you obtain the Dao fruit, you can live in peace. Taoist friends, why not make up a name for me in your own heart?"
, just like in my heart, fellow Taoist’s name is Goudan. As long as I don’t say it out loud, it won’t have much impact on fellow Taoist.”
"Ha," Dugu Mei narrowed her eyes slightly, but was not angry, and directly changed the subject, "You and I are discussing Taoism here today. I wonder what kind of Taoism you are good at?"
Li Pingan shook his head slightly and said quickly:
"I am not good at it yet. What I have learned cannot be compared to what my master taught me. What I have heard cannot be compared to the scriptures. However, I cannot compare to the disciples of Guanhai Sect, one of the ten most famous sects of Dongzhou Immortal Dao.
"Three of my fellow sects and I won the Six Sects of the East China Sea and came here to celebrate. The Guanhai Sect turned around and chased us here. We sent three or five crazy disciples and invited dozens of strange friends. The name was to discuss the Tao, but in reality it was about the thickness of the skin.
.
"If I'm not wrong, the Tao taught by Guan Hai Sect should be a Tao that would rather break than bend - one would rather bend other people's Taoist hearts than bend one's own will.
"It is indeed one of the top ten immortal sects with strict sect rules and constantly eliminating disciples.
"The four of you who were selected to sit here today must have gone through countless hardships and eliminated many of your friends from the same school, right? It's really admirable."
Half of the casual cultivators who came here to watch didn't look good.
Crazy disciple, strange friend...
This Wan Yun Sect disciple has scolded them all.
Li Ping'an's last two sentences made the four Guanhaimen disciples look a little more annoyed.
Guanhai Sect's internal and external disciple elimination system, although it has been able to continuously produce high-quality immortal seedlings, it has also ruined many young people who should have had a good future, so it has been criticized by other sects.
Li Ping'an's words were like stepping directly on the painful spot of Guanhaimen.
——He just deliberately angered these four people.
Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu next to them wanted to laugh, but they also wanted to maintain a calm and calm attitude. They felt really relieved.
Dugumei suddenly laughed and said slowly: "Is it possible that fellow Taoist is afraid? He speaks foul language, speaks eloquently, and presses me step by step. Are you trying to make me lose my bearings?"
At this time, the call becomes passive.
Li Ping'an said directly: "If you and I want to discuss Tao, we might as well find a topic."
"Okay," Dugumei said, "Then let my fellow Taoist choose the topic!"
"It's better for Taoist friends to choose the topic," Li Ping'an's eyes flashed a little brightly, "If I were to choose the topic, Taoist friends would probably not be able to answer a single word."
Dugumei's voice suddenly became louder and she said directly: "What's the meaning of Kong?"
Li Ping'an waved his hand: "Please speak!"
please!
Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu's souls were shaken violently, and they stared at the team leader beside them.
Dugumei frowned tightly, stared into Li Ping'an's eyes, and said quickly: "Fellow Taoist asked me to give a question, and I have already given the question. Shouldn't it be that fellow Taoist should answer it?"
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "It turns out that Guanhaimen has such rules when discussing Taoism."
"This is the rule of Dongzhou's Taoism!"
"Ask and answer questions, so why call it an argument? It's just to create obstacles for the other party. If you ask a few questions that you don't know how to solve, can you win easily?"
Dugu Mei's face turned cold: "I would like to hear your opinion!"
"I don't dare to claim to have high opinions, but there are some truths that all children know."
Li Pingan said calmly:
"The so-called discussion of the Tao is naturally made by Taoist friends. The Taoist friends discuss it first, and I discuss it later. By comparing the two, don't we know whose Tao is more refined and whose Tao is more wonderful?
"Fellow Taoist, please, don't delay, there are seniors waiting for me to eat.
"Presumably all the fellow Taoists watching here are also curious about how fellow Taoists should interpret the word 'empty'."
"good!"
Dugumei closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
He naturally understood that the Wan Yun Sect disciple in front of him, who was only in the Void Refining Realm, had been using words and tricks to interfere with him.
Then be upright and let this person be convinced of his defeat!
Dugu Mei closed her eyes and concentrated, a faint light appeared around her body, her brows gradually relaxed, as if she was about to ascend to immortality and leave here.
The other three members of the 'Mei You Dui Xiang' had already shown faint smiles... If it were other topics, Dugu Mei's understanding might only be at the peak of the Heaven and Earth Bridge, but for this word 'empty', the three of them combined could not compare to Dugu Mei.
.
A wisp of Taoist rhyme slowly spread out like a breeze on the seaside. The master of Taoism from Guanhaimen (below the Immortal) spoke slowly, his voice was ethereal and unreal.
Listen to this person say loudly:
"There are not many good people who understand the way of the sky in East China. I was lucky enough to come across several scriptures in the past, which were passed down by Qigong practitioners from Xizhou and came from the Western leader's position.
"There is a saying in it that the realm of emptiness, from shallow to deep, should have four levels.
"The first realm, emptiness means nothingness, which is the solution to nothingness. Only when the tea in your teacup is empty can you hold new tea. If you drink the tea when it is full, it will become empty again. This is existence.
It is emptiness, and emptiness means existence.
"The second level, emptiness leads to seeing. You and I are both cultivators, cultivating our hearts to accommodate the great ways of heaven and earth. People in the mortal world are blinded by their own desires. How can we see the Tao and how can we understand our hearts? We can only empty our worldly desires and empty our own spirits.
, only then can we see the existence of Tao.”
As soon as these words were spoken, some of the casual cultivators everywhere started to applaud him.
There were even casual cultivators holding jade talismans and writing rapidly, their eyes full of joy.
But Dugu Mei's voice did not stop. He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and softly chanted:
"The third level, emptiness is nature and wisdom. Only when the Tao mind is empty can we tolerate everything. The Tao mind is empty and everything is impure. Therefore, emptiness is the nature of all things. Only by letting go of the worries in the heart and letting go
Only when your mind is troubled and does not occupy your mind with desires and lust can you accommodate the principles of heaven and earth and reach the other side of the Tao.
"The fourth level is something I can't understand. The scriptures say - empty is false.
"All things in the heaven and earth are in our eyes, and you and I can know their existence. If you and I close our eyes and cannot see, is there any difference between their existence and non-existence for you and me? For me, they do not exist, so
You and I are empty to other people, to heaven and earth, and to all natures.
"The conditioned laws of all things are bound to me by me. If I are empty, then the conditioned laws are empty. Conditions arise and annihilate. Illusions and dreams become real. How can calamities and disasters harm me?
"Adhering to the path of emptiness, one can be enlightened and have a clear mind, and seek one's own freedom by walking on the path of immortality.
"Only when you truly understand the realm of emptiness can you transcend the constraints of form, release your nature outside of heaven and earth, and live forever between heaven and earth!"
"good!"
There were bursts of cheers from everywhere.
Dugumei smiled, looking down at Li Pingan, who was frowning and thinking.
Li Ping'an really thought about it for a while.
He always felt that he had heard this statement somewhere, and he had heard it many times...
Ah, yes!
Isn’t this what Buddhism in my hometown often says: ‘Form is emptiness, emptiness is form’?
To be continued...
