Honghuang: Oh my god, this phoenix is ​​so cowardly

Chapter 176 The way of Lin Yang, the way of heaven is more than the way of humanity

But he said that Lao Tzu intended to make his clone Li Er go out of Hangu Pass, turn Hu into a Buddha, and share the luck of Western Buddhism.

When he came out of Luoyi, the capital of the great merchant country at that time, he could only see the wilderness beyond the capital.

There are dilapidated walls everywhere, broken well fences, broken rice fields, barren fields and rustling grass.

There are no plowing horses in the fields, but there are war horses galloping on the road.

Witnessing this scene, Li Er couldn't help but shook his head, secretly thinking in his heart that even though the great merchant won the Conferred God Calamity, his luck continued.

But after all, the day of the end of fate is ushered in. This time, I am afraid that it will come to an end.

Li Er traveled westward all the way, it was a long way, it took several months, and he finally approached Hangu Pass.

Looking at Hangu Pass from a distance, you can only see that there are lofty mountains on both sides of it, and a big river passing through the middle, which can be described as a natural danger.

Since the great merchants moved their capital to Luoyi, Hanguguan has become an important town in the world. If there is no square track, the horse will not tie the bridle".

It is named Hangu Pass because it is in the valley and the danger is as deep as a letter.

Li Er rode a green ox and arrived at the pass. Suddenly, the gate of Hangu Pass opened wide, and a doctor from the Shang Dynasty walked out from it.

Li Er couldn't help being slightly surprised, and his heart moved, but he already knew that this person was destined for him.

But this doctor is the official of Hangu Pass, named Yin Xi. Since childhood, he has been fond of learning ancient books, proficient in calendars, astronomy, and learned the art of astrology and qi.

And just before Li Er's arrival, he watched the sky at night and saw purple clouds gathering in the east, tens of thousands of miles long, shaped like flying dragons, rolling from east to west.

I knew it was a sage traveling, so I bathed and burned incense, and people cleared the road to wait for the sage.

That's how it is now.

Yin Xi welcomed Li Er into Hangu Pass, asked him to stay, and asked him that night.

He asked Li Er what should a great official like him do now that the great merchants are collapsing and the world is full of princes, vying for hegemony and vying for the throne, with no imperial court in sight.

Li Er told him to do nothing but to do nothing, and to govern the country as one, even if the princes govern the world. "It is not enough to take over the world if there is nothing to do, and there are things to do."Therefore, "I do nothing and the people transform themselves; I am quiet and the people are upright; I do nothing and the people are rich; I have no desires and the people are simple."Li Er's words are teachings that do not speak, so that the people can be self-centered.

Yin Xi understood what it meant, but he still sighed because he knew the difficulty of this method.

The world is in chaos, and the princes are rising together. How can there be such an ideal method?Doing nothing but doing nothing, the only one who can do this is the saint in front of me.

But at this moment, Li Er's heart suddenly moved, and when he looked up, he saw a figure manifest like a dream.

Next to it, I took a futon and sat down.If this person is not Lin Yang, who is he?

Li Er's eyelids trembled, and he said with a smile, "I've met Brother Dao." Duo Bao hurriedly followed.

Although Yin Xi didn't know Lin Yang, but seeing Li Er like this, he also knew that Lin Yang must also be like a saint, so he immediately bowed down.

Lin Yang is just an incarnation, and his real body is still refining the law fragments in the undead volcano.

It was just preaching in a dream, and seeing Li Er talking here, I couldn't help showing up.

Seeing Li Er's salute, Lin Yang returned the salute for a while, then nodded to Duobao and Yin Xi.

Only then did Lin Yang open his mouth and said: "I heard that fellow Daoist said this, and couldn't help showing up to discuss with fellow daoist. I don't know how you are?"

"Don't dare to ask for my ear, but I will do what I want!" Li Er replied.

Lin Yang then said: "I just heard what a fellow Taoist said, talking about the way of inaction, and teaching without saying anything. It's a pity how stupid people in the world are, how can they practice this way?"

Li Er nodded, and said: "That's true, I don't know what you have to say?"

Yin Xi couldn't help staring at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang said with a smile: "I don't know the way to govern the world, I just understand the principle of the law of the jungle."

"All things are born in nature to nourish all living beings, and they are controlled by life and death. The so-called survival of the fittest and elimination of the unfit is an ancient principle."

Li Er nodded and said: "This is also the principle of inaction and inaction. The way of inaction is the way of heaven."

Lin Yang also nodded: "The way of inaction is the way of heaven, but the way of heaven is not only that."

"Heaven's way of life is precious."

"Life is the way of heaven. If there are no sentient beings, the world will lose its meaning, so how can the way of heaven exist?"

"It's just that all living beings have the seven emotions and six desires, so disputes are inevitable, and once there are disputes, there will be endless."

"So things such as cause and effect, luck, calamity, etc. are derived. The way of heaven uses this to balance all living beings, so as not to make the world unbalanced."

"However, the way of heaven 49 is to avoid one of them. All living beings have a chance of life. This chance of life is also called variable. This is something that the way of heaven cannot take care of."

"The way of heaven does not change, but the way of humanity changes. How complicated is the truth here?"

Lin Yang couldn't help shaking his head as he spoke.

Li Er also sighed again and again.

The way of heaven does not change, but the way of humanity changes.Even the way of heaven can't rule the way of humanity, let alone a saint?
After all, aside from other things, isn't this Lin Yang in front of you the biggest variable in human nature?
It's just that sitting next to him now makes Li Er a little dazed.

After all, he and Lin Yang have always been hostile.But now, Lin Yang's discussion with him made him feel like he had met a confidant.

This is really unbelievable!

"People are not for themselves, and heaven and earth are destroyed. All living beings have their own balance, and we are just talking about human affairs." Li Er sighed.

At that moment, the two talked with each other and expressed their opinions, which greatly excited Yin Xi who was on the side, and hurriedly listened carefully.

It's just that the way of the two people, although both are the way of heaven, they have different understandings in the end.

Lao Tzu does nothing but does nothing, and everything follows the way of heaven.

Although Lin Yang has also comprehended the way of heaven, but there are also some principles of humanity in it.

He believes that although the way of heaven must be respected, all living beings themselves, the way of walking people, must strive for that ray of life.

Tian Xingjian, the gentleman keeps improving himself; the terrain is kun, and the gentleman carries the goods with virtue.

Those who are sentient beings, if they just resign themselves to fate, are not sentient beings.

Only those who strive for self-improvement, struggle tenaciously, and strive to survive are called sentient beings.

The way of the two is similar.But it is this small piece of difference, but we can see the difference and see the superiority.

Li Er sighed that he was far inferior to Lin Yangye.

Instead of discussing the Tao for a long time, Lin Yang left with all his heart.

Seeing that Duobao ignored him from beginning to end, and left directly after the discussion, he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

And Li Er pondered for a long time, although he gained a lot, he still felt a little bit uninterested.

Seeing Duobao's appearance, Li Er also knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Although Taoist brother Lin Yang has a good relationship with your teacher, you should also know his way of teaching. He is more of the way of heaven than of humanity."

"The way of heaven is 49, there is only one way of humanity, and the way of humanity is not as good as the way of heaven!"

When Duobao heard the words, he seemed to understand but half understood, and nodded blankly.

Li Er didn't care about him, and lived in Hangu Pass for a while. During this period, at the request of Yin Xi, he wrote a book called "Tao De Jing".

There are two chapters, the first one is "Tao can be said, it is very Tao; the name can be named, it is very famous", so it is called "Tao Jing".The beginning of the second part is "there is no virtue at the top, so there is virtue; there is no virtue at the bottom, so there is no virtue", so it is called "De Jing", collectively known as "Tao Te Ching".

"Tao Jing" talks about the root of the universe, contains the opportunity of the change of heaven and earth, and contains the magic of Yin and Yang changes;

Yin Xi got it, as if he had found a treasure, he recited it silently all day long, as hungry as he was thirsty, and thus entered the Tao and practiced Dafa. After that, he became the successor of Laozi, created the Taoism, and became the Wenshi School.
