The birth of the acquired spirits means that the social order of some primitive civilizations has taken shape. Of course, these so-called prototypes of civilization are not the same as the civilization that ordinary people understand. They only refer to the division of labor within a group of some animals, such as working together to complete hunting, reproduction and other life processes. Typically, they are similar to the procession of swan geese. Ant division of labor.
These simple social activities will gradually give rise to new civilization foundations over time.
And the new civilization is not necessarily a civilization system that ordinary people understand, and it does not necessarily have words. For example, after the evolution of ant colonies, their consciousnesses are connected to each other without written records; they do not necessarily have cities. For example, the Jiaoren clan mostly hunts in the sea, and there is no need for written records. There is a settled environment; there may not necessarily be man-made tools. The elves born from the vitality have the innate ability to control all things and do not need the help of tools.
But as a civilization, it must have inheritance and records, but the methods are different and the carriers of records are different.
Of course, as different basic civilizations discover each other and blend with each other, in addition to their own characteristics, each civilization also has many things in common.
For example, Jiaoren, who were originally nomadic, learned to circle the sea and build their own cities in the sea.
For example, elves learned to make tools to amplify their talents and abilities. The ant colony is also in this process, learning the writing of other groups in order to facilitate communication.
Concepts such as tools, language, writing, religion, cities, etc. began to emerge in the human world. A huge force that was different from the natural order began to take shape and continued to expand outwards, affecting and even transforming the surrounding environment.
At the same time, some powers that Milo had not studied too deeply in the past gradually emerged in this world.
The morality of education and inheritance, the Yin virtue of salvation in the underworld, the holy virtue of order and integration, the merit of good deeds and accumulated thoughts, and the merit of loving kindness and good deeds.
Of course, the five virtues that emerge at this moment are only the five virtues that were born with civilization in Miluo World. In fact, the operation of the five virtues is far higher. For example, in Milo's understanding, morality is the virtue of Tao. In the way of heaven, it is one of the escapes. It is the starting point of all variables and the collection of all variables. In the way of humanity, it is The way to educate the common people is the external embodiment of the spirituality of all living beings.
Therefore, moral energy should be a kind of feedback produced by the interaction between heaven and man after everything has brought positive changes to the world.
Secondly, loving-kindness is merit and good deeds are virtue. They are only the foundation of the path of merit. On top of that, there are
"Self-study is merit, preaching is virtue",
"Knowing the mind is merit, seeing one's nature is virtue" and
There are three kinds of merits: "Following the heaven is merit, following the way is virtue". But no matter what, as the order of the acquired spirits is established, the Five Virtues are derived, and gradually occupy a certain proportion between heaven and earth, so that the moral fairy lotus and meritorious deeds gradually emerge in the vision around Miluo. Auspicious clouds, golden lamps of merit, white qi of yin virtue and clear radiance of holy virtue.
Under the layers of visions, Milo's whole person looked more sacred and solemn. Feeling the changes in the Five Virtues all around, Milo shook his head secretly, smiled at the Supreme Master holding the talisman beside him and said: "In the past, the principles of the Five Virtues were something that I longed for, but now they can be self-generated. It is really wonderful." He said. When he said this, Milo stared at the Supreme Talisman in front of him. He did not forget that the person in front of him inherited his own innate spirituality. From a certain perspective, he could also be regarded as the Supreme Moral Lord. The incarnation of the person who holds the highest moral authority may know something.
Taishang Zhifu Xiang, who knew Milo's thoughts well, did not pay attention to Milo's almost tempting move, and casually said: "What's so strange about this? All the laws, principles, and ways in the world can be understood and controlled by others. Then The wonderful power bred from many laws, principles, and Tao can naturally be imitated artificially. At most, it is because of insufficient energy level, insufficient understanding, and insufficient control that the imitated power is lacking. Not to mention, there is also the Tao of the Five Virtues in Hanxia, and you and I both know that most of Hanxia's principles and laws originate from the emperor, and the five virtues that operate in it are, from a certain perspective, the Tao of the Emperor. It's just a derivative of Qi." At this point, the Supreme Talisman Master glanced at Miluo: "Now, although you are not like an emperor, your Taoism is unfathomable and your Taoism is perfect, which is close to the sum of the principles of the universe, but your essence is extremely high, and you rely on The companion treasure records the truth of all things, so it is not surprising that it can do this."
"Then is it possible for these five virtues to go further?" Milo asked the second question. The Supreme Master looked back and asked: "Go further? Which way do you want to transform? Towards the sky or towards the sky. people?"
"Naturally, it's for people." Milo didn't want to take over the authority of the Five Virtues. He just wanted to perfect the Five Virtues. After all, this path can be regarded as an invincible defense from a certain perspective. This method is just a means to stimulate the corresponding concepts of all people.
"In terms of humanity, morality is the virtue that establishes the Tao, which refers to a positive feedback that specifies new principles, builds a new civilization, and is passed down; Yin virtue is an implicit virtue, and it refers to a kind of positive feedback that is not made openly. , or the virtues involving sentient beings in the underworld will not be manifested in the human world, and are mostly used to save sentient beings, or do good deeds anonymously to accumulate virtue; merit is the virtue of good fortune, in addition to doing good deeds, people need to know, only the essence of good deeds , combined with the gratitude and blessings of sentient beings, will form human merit; and if the act of accumulating merit comes from a kind heart, it is possible to turn it into the most basic merit." Taishang holds the talisman for one time After talking about the four virtues, I stopped at the holy virtues.
"In terms of humanity, holy virtue can also be called imperial virtue, but imperial virtue cannot be called holy virtue. The core of holy virtue lies in the integration and unification of the existing order, or in other words, the collection and collection of moral principles. Gather and summarize.”
"So it sounds like the five virtues are based on the good and evil of basic human nature, and their morality is the basis of the five virtues? Yin virtue is the conduct of morality, merit is the manifestation of morality, merit is the moral heart, and holy virtue is the collection of morality?"
"As for the five virtues of humanity, your understanding is not wrong." Taishang Zhifu's answer made Milo frown: "But humanity is not the way of one clan, but the way of all sentient beings who have acquired it. The moral basis of different ethnic groups If they are different, then the operation of the Five Virtues will naturally be different, how can we be sure?"
"You need to think about this matter." Taishangzhi Fuxiang did not answer this question. He just looked into the void and said softly: "Now that all sentient beings have been born, the principles of the five human virtues have begun to appear. The movement of legal principles is changing, and it's time for me to enter the human world. However, before leaving, I have a question to ask you." Looking at the expression of the Supreme Master holding the talisman, Milo responded solemnly: "Excuse me. "The Taishang Talisman looked at Milo and asked, "Who are you?" This was a seemingly meaningless question, but when the Supreme Talisman asked, Milo was stunned.
Later, he heard the Taishang holding the talisman say: "At this moment, you are essentially the combination of the Miluo Heavenly Truth and the Jade Emperor's Zhixiang from the ten major dharma aspects of Miluo. Although you have mastered more than 70% of the sovereignty of heaven and earth, you have obtained Mi Luo. Luo has nearly all memories, consciousness, and spirituality, but are you really Milo?" Milo didn't know how to respond. He looked at the Taishang Talisman, bowed and said, "Can you please clarify my doubts?"
"I'm obviously the one asking you, why are you asking for answers?" Milo heard this and bowed again. He had a feeling that this question was very important to him.
"I can't give you an answer, or no existence can give you an answer." The Supreme Master shook his head and said softly: "If you insist on asking, I can only ask you a few more questions. I hope I can inspire you. I also hope that when I return, you will understand who you are."
"First of all, let me ask you, if at this moment Miluo again derives the Jade Emperor's True Truth and Miluo Tian's True Truth, will they be you?"
"No!" Milo replied immediately.
"Okay, if that's the case, then let me ask again, after the Jade Emperor's Ultimate Truth and Miluo Tian's Truth are combined again, will it be you?"
"No?" It was still a humble reply.
"Next, if the process of union and subsequent experiences are the same as yours, is he you? Or, after you disappear, is he you?"
"To me, he is not me, to others, he is probably me..." Milo vaguely grasped the idea of the Taishangzhi Talisman, and while responding, he began to think quickly.
"Then if part of Milo's consciousness is dispersed, or the changes derived from the residual power of Milo's true nature, it is integrated into your body, and a second you is derived in your body, thinking what you think, loving what you love, and hating what you love. Hate, is he you? Or, what if you lost your memory and he inherited this part of his memory? Who is you? "
"Being multi-minded, multi-minded is not one-minded, he is not me." Milo paused for a moment when answering this time, and the answer was not so sure.
Taishangzhi Fuxiang did not respond, but continued to ask: "I know very well that you suspect that I am the spiritual manifestation of the Supreme Moral Lord, so I would like to ask, if I am the Supreme Moral Lord, according to your current spirituality , a new you is derived. Is he you? Or, to put it more bluntly, after the Supreme Moral Lord replaces you from the spiritual level, that 'you' is still not you?" Milo fell into confusion. After pondering, Taishang Zhifu continued: "You and I both know that as far as the innate gods are concerned, our essence comes from the Taishang Taoist ancestor. It is precisely because he dispersed spirituality among all living beings that the innate gods only regarded all living beings as The incarnation of the Supreme Supreme has just regarded us as the same kind and recognized the identity and status of all the spirits in heaven. So when the Supreme Dao Ancestor wants to replace me, am I still not me?" Milo, who had long been immune to the cold and heat, heard this. As he spoke, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his body. The issue of the Taishang's talisman pointed out a core issue. If all living beings are the incarnations of the Taishang, then how to distinguish the difference between oneself and the Taishang?
How do I exist? But Taishang Zhifu Xiang did not stop asking.
"Do you think this is who you will be after reincarnation?"
"Finally, do you think you are Milo?"
"After reincarnation...I will naturally be..." Milo fell silent mid-sentence. He wanted to answer the following questions first, but stopped again mid-sentence. After a long time, he slowly said: "Yes, I am Him, but he’s not me.”
"What about after reincarnation?"
"If the cause and effect are severed, he is naturally not me, and at most he is my successor; but if the cause and effect is not severed and the burden is still there, he can be considered me..."
"So, who do you think you are?"
"I..." Milo opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. Seeing this, the Taishang held the talisman and stepped into the void. Little bits of spiritual light gradually appeared on his body and dissipated in the void. Part of it was integrated into the movement of the body, path, and sky, and part of it was integrated into the physical body of all the spirits of the day after tomorrow. Most of them gathered around Milo.
"I hope that when I come back, you have already thought about this problem clearly. Otherwise, even if you can integrate your mind this time, it will be difficult to defeat the Holy See in the future. Only by understanding who you are can you be able to transcend the current constraints... ..." The voice of the Supreme Master holding the talisman became weaker and weaker, and finally fell into complete silence as the aura dissipated all over the sky.
"Who am I?" The person thinking about this question is not Milo who is inside the heaven and earth as the Jade Emperor, but [Miluo] who is outside the sky and is the world itself. This is also the question he is thinking about. .
who I am? How to prove that you are yourself? How to tell the difference between yourself and your avatar? How to distinguish the difference between incarnation and incarnation?
[Miluo] Many thoughts began to appear in his mind. If [Miluo], who is the incarnation of Taishang Daozu, is an independent existence, then is Miluo, the Jade Emperor who is the incarnation of [Miluo] within the world he created, an independent existence?
If not, then why [Miluo] can be regarded as an independent existence. What is the difference between Taishang Daozu and [Miluo], [Miluo] and Milo?
Similarly, [Miluo]'s current cultivation level, even if it enters reincarnation, will not change much in nature after the reincarnation, and even the memory will gradually recover. So, will [Miluo] be the same as he is now after reincarnation? Milo]?
If not, what is the difference between the two? Even, [Miluo] looked at his treasure scroll and some illusory continents in Miaoyoutian.
'What is the relationship between those continents, those creatures, and those changes I recorded, and themselves?
If there is no relationship between the two, what is it that I write down? Are you impressed? Or is it a reflection that lives on in memory?
But if this is the case, why does Chaoyinfa receive feedback from these living beings in memory? If there is a relationship between the two, then what is the relationship between the living beings in my memory and the living beings after reincarnation?
Inheriting and being inherited...' [Miluo] The more thoughts and thoughts in his mind, the more wrong his emotions become.
Fortunately, at this moment, he is an existence close to the will of heaven and earth. Most of his essence has been transformed into the ten major dharma aspects and integrated into heaven and earth. The rest of the active consciousness is either incarnated or dispersed, so he will not appear due to violent fluctuations in emotions. The problem of fruit vibration.
Of course, it is not easy for Milo and Pure Tathagata who are staying in the heaven and earth at this moment. As the aspects of Milo's Dharma that have not yet been sublimated and transformed, their corresponding concepts of Tao and Fruit have begun to turmoil under the influence of extreme emotions. Among them Milo could still rely on the power of the treasure scroll to barely maintain his own stability, but he also lost the ability to intervene in changes in the outside world. After a large deviation in his own concept, the Pure Tathagata went directly to death to get rid of the interference of extreme emotions. , and at the same time, he plans to use this to understand himself after reincarnation, and whether he is still himself.
