Record of Extinction Destiny Chapter 67: Everyone is a heretic except me
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Catalog of Destruction!
Amidst the shock, Shi Xuan could not help but resist the warning from Taoist Yujing.
These resistances stem from my own insights gained from more than 20,000 years of practice, from the firm path and the intersection of dragon and tiger, from cutting through illusions, clarifying the mind and nature, and achieving the soul, and from holding on to one's true nature and sticking to one's true heart. , thus surviving the forty-nine tribulations, the five declines of gods and humans, and attaining the enlightenment of Daluo.
If we follow what Yujing Taoist said, all these past experiences will become false and meaningless. Since one has to kill one's nature in order to become one with the Tao, what's the use of being firm on the path? What's the use of knowing one's mind and one's nature? What's the use of holding on to one's nature? !
As if seeing Shi Xuan's resistance and hesitation, Taoist Yujing turned sideways, looked at Shi Xuan, and walked towards Shi Xuan step by step:
"How can you understand your true nature without being firm on the path?"
“How can we truly kill our true nature if we don’t understand our true nature and control our true nature?”
"Taoist masters follow the natural way, combine Taoist cultivation with Taoist heart, and eliminate all kinds of acquired contamination, in order to reach the point where you can truly kill your nature, return to your innate nature, and combine the virtual with Tao."
"In the past, regardless of the cultivation techniques or the cultivation of Taoist mind, it was all about laying the foundation for this step. It was a means, not an end."
"You are obsessed with the past, and you are confusing the difference between means and ends, taking means as ends, and being confused by illusion."
"Maybe you still don't understand?"
The oppression is getting bigger and bigger, and every sentence speaks directly to Shi Xuan's Taoist heart, making Shi Xuan feel like he can't breathe. Everything he said seems to be correct. Is he really obsessed with the past and confusing his methods? and purpose?
Under this questioning from the Taoist heart, Shi Xuan felt that his Taoist heart began to waver. The feeling of "now is what it was yesterday was not" arises spontaneously.
Just when Shi Xuan's Taoist heart was completely shaken, some pictures suddenly flashed through his soul:
Grandma Yu who is leaning forward and backward with a smile, free and easy;
The enlightened mountain man who is free and unrestrained, kind and humorous, as unruly as the wind;
Taojun Ziyun has a swaggering temperament and is humorous and childlike;
The solemn, easy-going and approachable former and future Baoguang Buddha;
……
I know these half-step golden immortals who have witnessed the teachings of heretics and have clearly understood that their nature is empty. None of them look like they have killed their true nature. Only when they use their true nature to become empty, their breath will be misty. Like a road.
On the contrary, Demon King Kong Fang, who was judged by the Enlightenment Mountain Master to have taken the wrong path, even though he did not display his natural self-emptiness, he was still cold and cold as if he were plundering the road!
With these half-step golden immortals and jade in front. Shi Xuan's shaken Taoist heart began to stabilize. As his thoughts turned, things in the past that seemed ordinary but actually had profound meaning emerged one by one.
On the Tianji Peak of the Penglai Sect, Master Mo Yuan said some words when he explained to himself the basis of the Taoist theory:
"Among these many worlds, there are those who kill their fathers, mothers, brothers, brothers, wives, and children, kill all the people, achieve the path of killing, and finally create a world through creation. There are also people who give up the opportunity to become enlightened for the sake of their wives and children. After reincarnation, he made rapid progress and achieved enlightenment in a short period of time. Can you say who is higher and who is lower? ”
"In the end, the ultimate goal of cultivating one's mind is to be able to change one's nature at will to correspond to different things, just like the Tao."
These two sentences are known to most monks in all worlds, but now they think about it. It really means a lot.
Then, Shi Xuan thought of what Granny Yu once said to him: "When you have no way forward in the future, think more about the foundation of your practice."
What I rely on to cultivate myself to this level step by step is great perseverance, great wisdom, great determination, firm path, clear mind and true nature, and adhering to my true nature.
How can we completely deny the past, deny all our understanding of spiritual practice and the Tao, and give up our own nature just because of Taoist Yujing's words? !
As the thoughts passed by, Shi Xuan's Taoist mind gradually stabilized.
Taoist Yujing walked closer and closer, his voice was not loud and his tone was calm, but he felt more and more intense:
"If you don't kill your true nature, how can your true nature become empty?"
"How can we achieve the path of non-nature without getting rid of all nature?"
"If you don't completely give up your self-existence, how can you combine the virtual with the Tao?"
"The reason why the insights from past practice are false is to set off the truth today."
"Do you understand, or don't you understand?"
Standing in front of Shi Xuan, Taoist Yujing had an expressionless face and stood with his hands behind his back. He was slender and not tall, but he only had the intention of filling the universe.
The gentle and peaceful question made Shi Xuan couldn't help but recall everything Taoist Yujing had said before. It was so right and so persevering that it was the basis for Taoist practice.
“My understanding of spiritual practice and Taoism is consistent with the foundation of Taoist practice, but it is completely different from that of Taoist Yujing.”
"The Great Dao not only has no nature, but also contains all natures!"
"But he is Taoist Yujing. He is a senior sage who has practiced step by step and successfully overcome the three difficulties of cultivation. He is a real big man who has truly taken that step and aligned with the Tao. He is the one who can evolve the three thousand avenues by himself. The Lord of Creation, and everything he said seems to be true, without any falsehood. In terms of his realm and his understanding of the Dao, he is much higher than me."
“How can my understanding of spiritual practice be as good as his?”
"It seems self-evident who is right and who is wrong?"
Although Shi Xuan is very confident in his own cultivation experience, he is facing Taoist Yujing, who can be called the most stunning figure since the beginning of the universe. He is also praised by countless monks as a true cultivator.
He is the authority, he is the avenue!
Compared with the two, Shi Xuan's Taoist heart was shaken again. Taoist Yujing has cultivated step by step to another realm of creation. How can his understanding of cultivation be comparable to his own, how can it be compared to that of Granny Yu and Baoguang Tathagata? , Wu Daoshanren, Ziyun Daojun, etc. can be compared.
Could it be that I really can’t let go of my past experiences, including my spiritual practice and understanding, and I have become obsessed with it? !
I questioned myself. In the comparison, Shi Xuan was sometimes shaken and sometimes firm. Sometimes I felt that all my experiences were real and not false. Sometimes I thought that what Yujing Taoist said was true and the ultimate truth, and it had its success. The example before.
During this period of vacillation, Shi Xuan became more and more inclined to his own understanding of cultivation. Because that is what I have come out of step by step. It is extremely solid, real and true, and it is the foundation for me to move forward.
Compared with it, even if the other party is the Lord of Creation, it seems a bit ridiculous and false!
"My nature is the 'nameless beginning of all things', to return to nothingness, to return to the beginning. To accommodate all true spirits, contain all natures, and to treat teachers, disciples, friends, etc. as the core. Realize with me How is it that the great road embraces all natures? Why should I give up these realizations and follow the path of killing nature as taught by Taoist Yujing? ”
With this tendency, Shi Xuan once again thought of Granny Yu’s words:
"There are three difficulties in practicing. Golden elixir, Yuanshen, and Hedao are all rooted in one's own nature and path, and each has its own fate. Therefore, no matter which technique or elders, they only briefly touch on it. When talking about it, we should focus on the details after taking the first step, rather than how to take the first step. The fear is that the disciples will have limited knowledge and regard others as their own, and it will be extremely difficult to succeed. "
"Can't you regard others as yourself?" Shi Xuan was suddenly startled and saw the key point.
At this time, Taoist Yujing asked again:
"You still don't understand, what is the great road?"
Shi Xuan suddenly said: "Understood."
Taoist Yujing did not speak, but just looked at Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan smiled freely: "Senior, yours is the great road. Junior, mine is also the great road."
The path of Taoist Yujing is his own road to heaven, pointing directly to eternity, but for Shi Xuan himself, it is a wrong road and a dead end.
Your way is not my way!
As Shi Xuan answered. The "Taoist Yujing" in front of him gradually dissipated into the void.
Shi Xuan already understood what was going on.
This is "the envy of heaven and the envy of all 'heretics'"!
No wonder Grandma Yu wants to remind herself not to be blinded by outsiders’ performance.
It turns out that the "Dharma" of the heretical practice is the various enlightenment insights engraved in the void universe. They are the enlightenment insights left by the great people who successfully took this step in the past and became in harmony with the truth.
When a Half-Step Golden Immortal approaches Hedao, the void universe will turn these realizations into itself and come to perform the Dharma. The first Half-Step Golden Immortal approaching Hedao will perform the teachings of the outsiders he meets. Dharma should be the paradoxical truth that the void universe transforms on its own.
For those great figures themselves, every kind of enlightenment is the true truth and the path to enlightenment is smooth, but for other monks, it is a crooked road and a dead end.
Once you are confused by these enlightenment insights, the fate of Demon King Kong Fang is the same. There are even some half-step golden immortals in the realm of heretical practice who are confused by the enlightenment insights without knowing it. After all, Taoist Yujing is so extreme. It is rare to see enlightenment and enlightenment, and it is also rare for Demon King Kong Fang to express it clearly like this.
The so-called heretics, except for me, are all heretics... Looking at the dark void around him that became calm, Shi Xuan smiled slightly and recalled what "Taoist Yu Jing" just said one by one, eliminating the false and retaining the true.
Since it is his enlightenment and enlightenment, it must contain the secret of harmony.
Shi Xuan combined his own experience, combined with the experience of witnessing the failure of three half-step golden immortals to join the path, and the experience of a future Buddha who attained enlightenment, and gradually understood how to achieve the emptiness of one's true nature and how to take the step of joining the path.
"Since one's true nature is empty, one should still kill one's true nature. However, this 'killing' is not the 'killing' of Taoist Yujing. It is more extreme than the thought of retreating from one's true nature and manifesting itself, leaving one's own true nature in a state of emptiness and leaving nothing behind. Daoguo Qingyun, who has concealed his true nature, has a subtle connection with the Dao."
The state of emptiness is both mysterious and mysterious. It seems to be placed in the void, and it seems to have concentrated its consciousness in the deepest part of the Taoist heart. It is both, and it is a kind of clarity that Shi Xuan gained after seeing through the heretic performance.
"And taking one step towards Hedao is what Taoist Yujing said, killing yourself and your self-existence. But if you lose yourself and your self-existence, isn't it like committing suicide and falling completely? What can you do to Hedao? What’s the difference between the Demon Lord Kong Fang and the Great Dao?”
"No wonder only the Tathagata of Baoguang who has completely let go can successfully merge with the Tao. His nature is just like emptiness, and still retains some traces of existence. The Shanren of Enlightenment and Taoist Ziyun who cannot achieve complete emptiness have fallen into the Tao. This step."
"But if you let go completely and kill yourself, even if you don't have yourself anymore, where can you find that glimmer of hope?"
Shi Xuan roughly understood the step of joining the path, but he increasingly felt that it was extremely difficult and dangerous. He had to completely give up his own existence and completely merge into nothingness. This was really no different from committing suicide.
After all the emotions in his heart calmed down, Shi Xuan began to try to emptiness himself.
The nature turned into nothingness, into an uninitiated state, accommodating all thoughts, and Shi Xuan gradually fell into darkness.
The consciousness of nature spreads inwards and outwards, the inner part returns to the depths of the heart of Tao, and the outer part merges into the surrounding yin and yang avenue.
Such a move, if not careful, will damage the nature and the soul will be backlashed.
When Shi Xuan's true nature consciousness carefully integrated into the Yin-Yang Avenue, he suddenly had a wonderful feeling. He was looking at the Yuanshen outside and inside the body at the same time. A wonderful connection was created, and the "Qing Yu Yu Da Yin and Yang Qingyun" in the soul suddenly came to life, and there was no sense of shortcomings anymore. It seemed that the incarnation of the Yin and Yang Dao had arrived.
But just when Shi Xuan realized the various mysteries of "nature is empty", a little change occurred in the Yin and Yang Dao.
The consciousness of Shi Xuan's nature, which had been integrated into the Yin-Yang Avenue, sensed another nature that had long been integrated into the Yin-Yang Avenue. It was pure, free, peaceful, colorful, and as clear as glass.
Such a nature is incompatible with the Yin-Yang Dao, and is being greatly repelled, even causing slight fluctuations, which makes the natural consciousness that cannot sense each other come into contact, allowing Shi Xuan to directly sense him!
"Tao Ancestor of Annihilation?!" Shi Xuan recognized his identity with some surprise. He had actually reached this step a long time ago!
When Shi Xuan sensed him, he naturally sensed Shi Xuan too! RQ
