Chapter 259 Taiqing taught the Taoist Scriptures [Please vote for the third update!](1/2)
Dong, Dongchuang incident happened?!
What he said to deceive Emperor Xuanyuan was heard by the leader of Taiqing?
Li Ping'an's Adam's apple trembled up and down, and he refrained from kneeling down and kowtowed. He kept his bowing posture, and several options quickly emerged in his mind, but he quickly rejected these options.
'Nothing can be hidden from Senior Brother Taiqing.'
Fight!
Li Ping'an said loudly: "Therefore! The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage; the way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage."
"good."
Taiqing Laozi's eyes had no light, he just stared at Li Ping'an and said slowly:
"The way of the world is like that of stretching a bow. Those who are high suppress it, and those who are low lift it up; those who have more damage will lose it, and those who have less will make up for it. Therefore, the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage; the way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage.
.Who can have more than enough to take and enshrine it in heaven? Is this a Taoist person?"
Li Ping'an was a little confused for a moment and could only lower his head and keep bowing.
Lao Tzu asked again: "This sutra only exists in my heart and has not yet been spread to the world. Where did you hear it?"
'The boy had a sudden idea?'
Li Ping'an really wanted to answer like this, but he stuck to his true intentions, examined his own nature, traced his true nature, and decided to deal with the truth.
He said: "Master, uncle, I heard this sutra narrated when I was young! I am stupid and can only remember a few sentences!"
Lao Tzu said: "Memorize all the scriptures you know."
"yes!"
Li Ping'an sorted out the sentences related to the "Tao Te Ching" in his memory, and discovered to his surprise that he had actually used many scriptures long ago.
I only said this, perhaps because after he came into contact with Emperor Xuanyuan, I focused my attention on him, an 'unknown person'.
Now that he has embarked on this path of 'seeking the truth', Li Ping'an did not dare to hide anything and recited slowly:
"Tao is the Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao. The name is the name, but it is not the eternal name. Wu is the beginning of all things. Being is the mother of all things. Therefore, there is no desire, so as to see its wonder...
"
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and treat all things as rudderless dogs. The saints are unkind, and regard the common people as rudderless dogs..."
"The best good is like water. Water is good for all things and has tranquility. It is disliked by everyone..."
"Everything in the world is born from existence, and existence is born from nothingness. Tao generates one, one creates two, two generates three, and three generates all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang, and the qi in the middle is considered to be in harmony."
…
Li Ping'an memorized more than a dozen paragraphs in a row, and they were all the contents that impressed him the most and remembered them most clearly.
He kept reciting it like this, and a strange feeling came over his heart.
"Traveling through the prehistoric times, I recited the Tao Te Ching for the Taiqing Laozi"?
The scriptures of the "Tao Te Ching" that impressed him most were mostly "Tao Jing" rather than "Te Jing". The former contains the mysterious Tao, while the latter mostly contains principles of governing the world. It is originally the study of the inner sage and the outer king.
Gradually, Li Pingan's words paused, his eyes became more thoughtful, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
Wisps of mysterious Taoist charm surrounded him.
Li Ping'an actually recited the scriptures in front of Taiqing Laozi that Taiqing Laozi had not mentioned to anyone, and then... began to realize the Tao on the spot.
Even though he was quiet and inactive, the leader of the Three Purities, Taiqing, couldn't help but frown slightly at this moment and looked at Li Ping'an's figure carefully.
After a while, Taiqing nodded slightly, and his thin fingers that seemed to be outside the world gave a little light to Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an sat cross-legged and meditated naturally, and dozens of chapters of scripture began to echo in his heart.
"You know there is something wrong with the scriptures, but this is the original version."
Li Ping'an was refreshed.
Although he still doesn't know if he has passed this level, the opportunity is before him and he should seize it with all his strength!
So I calmly comprehended it and wrote down these dozens of chapters of scripture in detail.
Gradually, he fell into a deeper state of enlightenment, forgetting both things and myself, embracing the essence and returning to one, and leaving all external things behind.
Seven days of light and shadow passed.
Nuwa has returned to the Notre Dame Palace and does not wait here any longer.
Immortal light appeared around Li Ping'an, and the Tao realm actually broke through the first level, while a faint shadow of a Tai Chi diagram slowly appeared behind him.
He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes as clear as an ancient well, and there was still some thought in his eyes.
"How do you feel?"
The voice of Taiqing Laozi came, and Li Pingan woke up like a dream.
Lao Tzu said: "You still have to fight in the future, so it will not be easy for you to realize the Tao for a long time."
Li Ping'an hurriedly stood up and returned to the posture of bowing: "Thank you, uncle, for preaching!"
"good."
I nodded slightly:
"I know a little bit about the relationship between you and your father. I won't embarrass you about this matter. Since you are here today, I should ask three questions."
"Please show me!"
Lao Tzu asked: "Since I am the Emperor of Heaven, what should I do?"
Li Ping'an thought carefully and carefully for almost half an hour before answering:
"You should suppress the way of heaven for all living beings, you should seek survival for all souls, you should add righteousness to heaven and earth, and you should punish evil spirits from heaven!"
Lao Tzu asked again: "Can good and evil exist in one mind?"
Li Ping'an continued to think, and this time it took more than half an hour before he answered:
“Good and evil exist in one mind, but they do not exist in one mind!
"In terms of life, good and evil natures come from the choice of the heart. Good deeds and evil deeds are not directly related to the nature. Those with evil nature can restrain themselves, and those with good nature can also indulge themselves. Therefore, the good and evil of living beings should be judged by their deeds and not by their hearts.
.
"The thoughts of good and evil exist in the hearts of living beings, but whether this living being is good or evil should be determined by the law!"
I nodded slowly and asked the third question: "If the Emperor of Heaven makes a mistake, who is to blame?"
This question made Li Ping'an stand there and think about it for a long time.
The answers to this question are also varied, such as establishing a complete supervision system, the Emperor of Heaven being guilty of the same crimes as mortals, the rules of Heaven being superior to the Emperor of Heaven, etc.
But when the words came to his lips, Li Pingan felt that these were not appropriate answers.
The law cannot be perfected;
Those in power are best able to find gaps in the law.
After thinking for a long time, Li Ping'an felt a flash of inspiration in his heart and said slowly:
"Disciple, please be brave. If one day the Heavenly Court is established and all the spirits of heaven and earth return to their hearts, please uncle, master, hang a sharp sword over your head!"
I have a little more sparkle in my eyes.
His thin and emotionless face showed a faint smile.
"good."
I said slowly:
"When your heaven is established, I will give you a treasure to protect the heaven and monitor the gods.
"Let's go.
"The words of you and me must not be passed on to the ears. I will cover up the matter of your father and son, and I will set a destiny for all spirits from now on."
"Disciple, please remember my uncle's teachings!"
Li Ping'an lowered his head to answer. The clouds and mist in front of his eyes were changing. When he looked up again, the old Taoist, the small courtyard, and the green cattle had all disappeared. In front of him was only the light blue sky, and not far above his head was the film of heaven and earth.
Everything seemed like a dream.
He thought for a while, and many insights emerged in his heart, and the thirty-six chapters of the scriptures flowed through his heart like flowing water.
This is the "Tao Jing" of the "Tao Te Ching", which contains the great principles of Tai Qing.
Li Ping'an's Taoist heart could not calm down for a long time.
This was the first time that a powerful person revealed the problem between him and his father;
This was also the first time that when he answered a question, he racked his brains and still felt that he did not know much and had not learned enough;
Taiqing Laozi.
The first of the Three Purities, this sense of oppression is indeed too strong.
A bit of fresh air drifted by, and Li Pingan felt his back was quite cool, but he was sweating profusely without realizing it.
Can...can we go back?
Li Ping'an turned around and looked around, but saw the Virgin Mother's figure nowhere to be seen, but saw the young Taoist with an ordinary face and outstanding temperament looking at him with a smile.
"Nephew of the Emperor of Heaven," Master Xuandu said warmly, "Teacher ordered me to take you back to Dongzhou. Let's drive slowly on the clouds."
Li Ping'an said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you very much, uncle."
"Don't be afraid, the teacher is always very kind."
Archmage Xuandu smiled and came over, a cloud of mist appeared under his feet, and floated downwards with Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an gave a desperate fake smile.
The amiable Tai Qing.
