Chapter 341 You can read it, but you can't believe it all
Although you cannot use flying swords to pass on the letter in this city, Lu Pingxi has other means to find Xiao Hua Yao and others. After all, Lu Pingxi is a cultivator in the Jindan stage and has many methods.
He had already put a divine sign on the little flower demon. As long as he chased this sign, he could find the little flower demon.
Judging from the current situation, Lu Pingxi felt that he should not look for the little flower demon with great fanfare to avoid triggering any troublesome things.
In the words of the "Tao Te Ching", water conservancy to all things without fighting is also an attitude that a practitioner should have.
You have a high level and strong strength, just because you are ahead. If you do not always hold the state of mind of a Taoist, it will be difficult to go further.
So Lu Pingxi did not want those monsters who were inferior to those who thought he was superior to others, but continued to maintain his usual self.
There are many people or monsters who are timid in their weak young age and attack hard after gaining power. This is false, and their hearts are shaken by the fact that they are not powerful.
And a Jindan stage monk like Lu Pingxi is the same whether he has a low level or a high level. He will not be inferior or distressed because of losing power, nor will he be proud and indulged because of gaining power. This is the truth, and his heart will not be shaken with the changes of external objects.
In many biographies, people or demons change greatly after becoming immortals and becoming Buddhas. In fact, this is a false manifestation. Monkey King Sun went to the West to obtain scriptures, and after being enfeoffed in the West, he became another appearance. Is this the Buddha or the tool monkey of Buddhism?
On the contrary, people like Jigong and Maitreya Buddha understood what is true. The Tang and Song dynasties were the same since the beginning, and they went through eighty-one difficulties without changing. The heart of Tao was firm, so he was the truth.
In Journey to the West, Taoism and Buddhism are all victories, only monkeys are tool monkeys. In the end, monkeys neither attain enlightenment nor become Buddhas.
A true Buddha is like a Bodhisattva. If you don’t assert her, she is also a Buddha; if a false Buddha is like a monkey, if you assert her, she is not a Buddha either.
Lu Pingxi walked forward slowly and was thinking slowly that this path to cultivating immortals was far less simple than he imagined. The hundred levels of the tower of cultivating immortals not only need to climb up by strength, but also need to be realized layer by layer.
If you just kill one layer after another, then this is not a cultivation of immortality.
Lu Pingxi suddenly recalled what the corpse cultivator said before. The corpse cultivator said that the top level of the immortal tower was just a conspiracy. Countless monsters fought to the death for the 100th level, but in the end they ended up dead.
Lu Pingxi did not agree, but he believed that there was no method of becoming an immortal on the 100th floor. This method of becoming an immortal should be in each level of the immortal tower. Only by truly climbing up from the first floor can one understand the true art of cultivating immortals.
Thinking of this, Lu Pingxi walked more steadily. He didn't want to miss anything because he walked too fast and climbed too fast.
People often ask what is the meaning of living?
Because after coming to the world, the money, status and love you get cannot be taken away, and once you die, it will disappear like smoke.
Therefore, people pursue immortality and do not want to die, especially those emperors with supreme power. They want to keep going forever. Ten years is not enough, a hundred years is not enough, and a thousand years is not enough.
But because of this, they cannot get the Tao, and even if they eat the elixir, it will be useless.
Even emperors are like this, let alone ordinary people? Why do ordinary people live for?
Lu Pingxi didn't know about this. Although he had thought about it, he did not come to a conclusion. After all, the meaning of life is something as mysterious as the way of heaven. Why did human beings be born and why were life born? This is something that many philosophers could not think about in their entire lives.
In other words, such things cannot be concluded through thinking.
After all, theory is theory, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
That's why people go to practice immortality. Like Zhuangzi, his wisdom is already high enough, right? But he can only see one-sided things. He thought that the sky was round and the land was wrapped in four oceans, and the rivers flowed to the sea, but the sea did not grow, so there must be a flood discharge from the sea under the sea.
So even Zhuangzi has something he doesn't know, and what he says is just the result of his thinking. If he can live forever, will he have new opinions and insights until today?
After all, you have to survive, so Taoism emphasizes the dual cultivation of nature and life.
In the past, Lu Pingxi believed that people could not practice immortality but only practice Taoism, but now he understood that since he wanted to practice Taoism, he had to practice immortality.
Ancient Taoism only thought and realized the world through meditation and meditation. He hoped to explore the true meaning of the universe through this method, but the universe seen in this method is only a corner of the universe. If they can survive and live to this day, they may be able to use the power of science to verify their thoughts.
Then the "Book of Changes", "Tao Te Ching", "Zhuangzi" and other things may also be revised, and the veil of the way of heaven may be revealed more.
Therefore, you still need to cultivate immortality, whether you are seeking the Tao, seeking Buddha, thinking about the meaning of life, or exploring the true meaning of the universe.
Only by living, living and immortality can we persevere until the end and wait until we explore and understand everything.
Lu Pingxi flashed with an inspiration. He felt that it was an old monster who had lived for millions of years that had influenced him. Perhaps it was an expert who had discovered the truth of the universe that influenced him.
In short, he gradually understood that the process of climbing the immortal tower is to cultivate immortality.
If you want to practice Taoism, you must first cultivate immortality. If you want to achieve success in cultivation, you must practice Taoism.
Both practicing Taoism and practicing immortality are indispensable!
In addition, science and cultivation are also indispensable.
Newton, Hawking, and Einstein were great scientists, but they could not escape death in the end. If these people could live forever, would it be possible to further unveil the mystery of the universe?
Perhaps this was because Newton and Einstein began to come into contact with theology in their later years? Is it because they understood that the truth that can be observed with human bodies is ultimately limited?
Studying the truth of the universe with human bodies is like a frog at the bottom of a well observing the sky through the wellhead.
Zhuangzi believes that it is not advisable to talk about the ocean with a frog in the well, because the frog in the well does not understand what the sea is, but in fact, if an alien talks about space with Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi will not understand it either.
Zhuangzi's limited life prevented him from exploring infinite knowledge, so Zhuangzi's words could, but he could not believe them all. By the same token, the alchemy books and cultivation methods since ancient times can, but he cannot believe them all.
The "Taishang Jade Qing Immortal Method" obtained by Lu Pingxi can only be believed, but cannot be believed in it all.
