On the outskirts of the river basin, the human race Yao tribe, listening to Taiqing Laozi's confident words, Yan's heart tightened, and he raised his head to face the other party's indifferent and deep eyes.
The memory of the past life is the basis for Yan to survive in the prehistoric world, compete with those innate gods, and then pursue the great road. It is a secret that must never be told.
Therefore, when Yan heard Lao Tzu's words and looked into those eyes that seemed to be able to see through him, Yan's heart tightened and at the same time, his mind raced rapidly.
Yan tried his best to suppress the uneasy emotions in his heart, control the fluctuations in his heart, keep his face calm, and explained to me with great respect:
"The younger generation once heard that there was a saint in this world who came from Jiutian Jade Capital and was the Taoist ancestor - Hongjun. Later, he spread the Tao to all living beings, and three thousand mortal guests were lucky enough to hear the Tao and sit down."
"Among them, there are four top virtuous and powerful people, including the Empress Nuwa, who have been recognized by Taoist Hongjun and have become his direct disciples. They have received his close and true inheritance, and their status is the most noble."
"I heard that among these four virtuous and powerful people, Empress Nuwa only occupies the last position. There are three senior brothers in front of her. I just heard my seniors call Empress Nuwa my junior sister."
Yan said, raised his head and glanced at Lao Tzu. In his plain eyes, he then said respectfully: "With the dignity of the empress, the only ones who can be called junior sisters are his three senior brothers - the direct descendants of Pangu Zhengzong. Sanqing Tianzun."
"You have good knowledge and know a lot. As you think, the old Taoist is the Taiqing Taoist who the Taoist sat down on." Hearing this, I nodded, as if he recognized Yan's statement.
But in fact, how could Yan's nervousness and strangeness escape my eyes? It's just that he is currently looking for an opportunity to become a saint and has no plans to delve deeper into it.
After all, in Laozi's eyes, Yan belongs to Nuwa. Since he specifically covers Yan's numerology, he will naturally not take the risk of disturbing Nuwa at this time and cause trouble.
Although he was already convinced that the old man in front of him was Taiqing, but now that he heard his own admission, Yan still couldn't hide the fluctuations in his heart.
"Human race Yan pays homage to Taiqing Daode Tianzun! May Tianzun come to the holy way soon!" Trying to suppress the excitement in his heart, Yan bowed and formally paid his respects.
I nodded and said: "You can win the respect of Junior Sister Nuwa, and you have great merit and great opportunities, and you can understand the method of granting forgiveness to ghosts and gods. I believe you are no stranger to Tao and God."
"How can we achieve transcendence between these two? Those who have a clear mind and see their nature will see the three thousand great ways. The heaven and earth will naturally appear. If you choose the good and understand it, you can all achieve the Tao and transcendence."
After listening to what I said, Yan felt a sense of irritability in his heart for no reason, making him temporarily confused and upset.
Although he didn't know why he felt this kind of resistance and irritability in his heart, Yan couldn't think too much about it when I had the opportunity to answer my questions in person.
He forced himself to suppress the annoyance in his heart and asked again: "Tianzun, what is the great road? How can we get it?"
"The great road has no name and is completely made by nature. It was born before the heaven and the earth. It is lonely and lonely. It is independent and does not change. It travels without danger. It can be the mother of heaven and earth."
…
"The great road is ruthless and moves the sun and the moon...the great road does nothing but does everything..."
…
"Tao gives rise to one, and gives birth to two... All things carry yin and embrace yang, some are pure and some are turbid, some are moving and some are still..."
…
"The path to find the path lies in heaven and earth, in nature...to the extreme of emptiness, to stay quiet and sincere, to hold the soul in the camp..."
…
"There is no better way to take a shortcut than to be good at water, so that you can be gentle and do nothing but move like the waves..."
…
Taiqing Laozi's dull and colorless voice kept ringing in Yan's ears, causing his heart to surge, and countless inspirations seemed to arise.
But unfortunately, when I solved the problem, there was no legendary vision of golden flowers falling.
Yan's realization did not last long. Just a moment later, he was disturbed by the growing irritability and resistance in his heart.
In the absence of Qingjing, even if I still hear my voice, it is difficult for Yan to gain anything. In fact, as time went by, his mood became more chaotic and difficult to control.
"Condemn one's desires, and the mind becomes natural. Clear one's mind, and one's spirit becomes pure... Looking inside one's mind, one's heart has no mind... Looking at emptiness is also empty, and nothing is empty. What is empty is nothing, and nothing is nothing... …”
Naturally, I also noticed that something was wrong with Yan's state, and he didn't see any unnecessary movements. Just a slight change in what he said, and a sense of tranquility emerged spontaneously.
Infected by this sense of tranquility, Yan felt that all the irritability in his heart had disappeared, his mind gradually became clear, and only the faint voice of Lao Tzu remained in his ears.
Then, in the clear sky and silence, a memory that had been sealed by itself suddenly came to my mind. Receiving this unspeakable memory, Yan's heart was shaken, and the realm of emptiness and tranquility was once again broken.
I glanced at Yan with some surprise. Although the expression on his face remained unchanged, he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart: "Although your merits and luck are good, your mind is messy and cannot be peaceful. It will become grand."
With this thought in mind, I lost interest in continuing. He stopped talking and was about to send the two of them away when he saw Yan raising his head and looking over anxiously.
"Tianzun, I once met a friend who was lucky enough to receive the inheritance from the Ancient God's Mansion. This was originally a great opportunity, but in this inheritance, there is a hidden conspiracy of the Ancient God's Mansion."
"My Taoist friend cultivates the method of God's Palace, exercises the power of God's Palace, and inherits the destiny of God's Palace. Subtly, his foundation changes, and he gradually becomes God-like."
"Finally, when the time was right and that Taoist friend reached a critical moment in his practice, the God's Mansion suddenly activated, trying to swallow his spirit and seize his body, and return from the ancient silence."
As he said that, Yan glanced at Taoist Taiqing with an ugly expression, and finally summoned up the courage to ask: "Dare you ask Tianzun, is this the right way? Can we, the immortals, follow this way?"
After listening to Yan's words, I felt a slight change in my heart, and finally understood the reason why Yan was so upset just now.
Looking up at Yan, I shook my head and said: "The great road is ruthless, and there is no good or evil. However, what this god's residence did to seize the body has already fallen into the inferior realm."
"You must know that although this method can change the foundation of the road, luck and cause and effect, making rebirth natural and smooth. However, all living beings in the world have their own spirits, and their fates and foundations are different."
"Unless the person whose body is taken away voluntarily dedicates his body and soul. Otherwise, if someone else's body is taken away from him, there will always be discord, and the disaster will remain, and it will be difficult to hope for enlightenment."
As I spoke, I glanced at Yan who was thoughtful, and continued: "Therefore, no matter whether it is a god or an immortal, anyone who has thoughts about the Tao and who has expectations for the Tao will never give birth to others who want to seize the body." Thoughts of the body.”
After listening to Laozi's explanation, Yan felt that it made sense. The persecution in his heart earlier was slightly relieved, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed.
Of course, he wasn't completely relieved either. After all, according to Lao Tzu, although this method falls into the inferior category, it is indeed effective and easy to use.
Of course, for powerful people like me, it is obvious that they disdain to practice this method. This also made Yan less worried when he asked me for advice again.
"Ask the Heavenly Lord, how should I practice the superior method?" After relaxing in his heart, Yan naturally would not miss the opportunity to ask for advice.
I originally saw that Yan was uneasy and had already planned to send the two of them away. After learning about Yan's concerns, I was slightly amused and at the same time admired his cautious attitude.
After all, in a world like the prehistoric world, if you want to live a long life, caution is a necessary and precious quality before your own cultivation reaches the top.
Therefore, after hearing Yan's inquiry, Lao Tzu complied and did not refuse. He directly said: "The superior method is to practice. If you have achieved self-transcendence and the true spirit is immortal, there is no need to practice this inferior method."
As soon as I said this, Yan was dumbfounded. Although this is true, it is really nonsense.
After all, Yan also knows that saints are immortal! He also knows that practicing hard and achieving the realm of a saint is the right path, but he can't do it now!
As if I could see Yan's inner thoughts, I glanced at him and then asked leisurely: "Do you know how to practice as an immortal?"
