Chapter 150 The Way of All Beings and the Way of the Emperor
"There are a very small number of amazing geniuses born with great luck. Just like you, you will encounter many opportunities as soon as you enter martial arts. But for most people, they are born ordinary and can only rely on acquired efforts to improve their luck."
Speaking of this, Xunzi paused slightly and swallowed a few words back temporarily. He originally wanted to say that geniuses born with great fortune often did not appear out of thin air, but were also created by the accumulation of cause and effect. For example, Yang Zheng, before he was born, he was already involved with countless people with great fortune.
"The luck is illusory, and there are very few ways to improve it. The simplest one is to become stronger, and the strong are more likely to have good luck. Speaking of special methods, they are the five categories mentioned just now: fate, luck, Feng Shui, accumulation of good deeds, and reading."
Yang Zheng already understood what these five types of methods meant, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this related to what I want to ask for? I want to know more about whether the way of emperors is affected by the Tao tree."
Xunzi smiled and said, "Of course it is related. These five types of methods include all the practice methods in the world. If you think deeply, you will find that except for one life, the next four types are actually similar."
"What's the meaning?"
"The so-called improving luck means gathering luck, binding more people's luck and cause and effect with yourself, sharing honor and disgrace, then your luck is equivalent to increasing. The latter four categories are all caused by saints, opening up methods, and then collecting disciples to spread the Taoist Dharma."
That night, Li Si once said that the second fortune mainly includes Taoism and the clan and transcendents, the third Feng Shui refers to the Yin and Yang family, the fourth accumulation of Yin and Destiny refers to the military and Wu family, and the fifth reading includes Confucian and Legalism.
Obviously, the Tao, conduct and knowledge of those who practice these methods cannot be separated from the guidance of teachers and teachers. Therefore, there are various schools of thought.
"To put it more thoroughly, the spread of these four types of Taoism is based on the relationship between master and apprentice and passed down from generation to generation. Let's give them a name, called the Tao of sentient beings."
"The way of all beings..." Yang Zheng murmured.
As the name suggests, the Tao of sentient beings is a method of practice that all sentient beings rely on. There is no distinction between teachings and no need to pass the screening of their innate body experience. As long as you enter the four realms and enter the various Taos into the dantian, you can practice one of these four types of methods.
"The foundation of the Tao of sentient beings is the inheritance of the master and disciple, that is, the Tao seed and the Tao tree. With the Tao seed, there is a foundation for inheriting the Tao's will and can a prosperous Tao tree grow. For all sentient beings, the Tao seed is indispensable. But that life is the most special, but it is different."
Yang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he vaguely concluded that the way of emperors does not rely on the Tao.
"Those who cultivate fate must be the destiny of heaven, and they will be the prince of the prince after birth. This is not stipulated by a certain saint, but is in line with the laws of heaven and mortals cannot subvert it. Have you ever thought about why this is?"
Yang Zheng didn't say anything.
"Whether it is the way of sentient beings or the way of emperors, you need to use different methods to make others feel respect and surrender to themselves, so that your luck can be firmly tied up. Disciples rely on their teachers and want to learn supernatural powers, they have to respect their teachers and respect their ways..."
Yang Zheng suddenly realized and even learned to answer, "When the king's power is supreme, it can determine the life and death of countless people in one thought. Therefore, the secular people all respect the king from the heart, and the luck of the whole country is condensed."
The difference between the way of sentient beings and the way of emperors is the foundation of gathering luck. The former relies on the authority of the master, while the latter relies on the authority of the emperor. Only by first convinced others can we add many luck to one person.
When Yang Zheng heard this, he was moved and asked, "If a king wants to invite you to open an official lecture in the future, he will no longer be excluded like the Academy. Will you be willing to go?"
Xunzi laughed at himself, "Confucianism advocates benevolence and righteousness. I am not as popular as you think in troubled times. I ask, which king in the world is willing to let me be by his ears every day and use benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and law to restrain his ambitions?"
Just as Taoism is favored by the King of Qi, there is a reason why he is suspicious of the King of Qi. In the chaotic times, it is the most difficult to settle down.
