Chapter 311 Heavenly Way
After learning the new fireball technique, Mo Hua spent all his thoughts on the formation.
A few days later, after Mo Hua mastered the reverse spirit formation, he went to ask Mr. Zhuang again. Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment, but suddenly asked:
"Hua'er, monks seek the way of heaven. Do you know what the way of heaven is?"
Mo Hua thought about it and replied, "Is it immortal?"
"Eternal life is the result, not the way of heaven itself."
"Isn't immortality the same as enlightenment?" Mo Hua asked.
Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting and said earnestly:
"A monk can live forever after enlightenment. Only by comprehending the great way and practicing the heavenly way can one live forever."
"If you do not understand the way of heaven and practice the laws of the great way, you will delusion into immortality, and you will lose the roots and pursue the ends, and you will inevitably go astray."
Mo Hua seemed to understand but not understand, but he nodded and remembered Mr. Zhuang's words.
"Does the Five Elements be considered the way of heaven?" Mo Hua thought for a while and asked again.
"That's what you think." Mr. Zhuang said.
"If the five elements are counted..." Mo Hua continued to think about it, "Does the two qualities, three talents, four symbols, and seven stars all count, or the way of using spiritual consciousness, physical body, and spiritual power are all considered as the way of heaven?"
The ink painting is a little uncertain.
Mr. Zhuang nodded.
Mo Hua was stunned, "If this is the way, is the way too complicated..."
Mr. Zhuang said: "The great way is thousands of, all things in this world, every grass, a tree, a flower and a tree, are all in line with the way of heaven."
Seeing that the ink painting was not very clear, Mr. Zhuang explained:
"Ancient monks looked up at astronomy, geography, and all things in the world, and understood the laws of the power of heaven and earth. Only then did they create all methods of practicing Taoism, such as martial arts, Taoism, and various types of Taoism, such as arrays, alchemy, talismans, and tools."
"Everything in the world follows the way of heaven, and the power of monks also comes from the way of heaven."
After pondering it over, I said in confusion:
"Everything in the world follows the way of heaven. What about those who violate the way of heaven? Are they following or disobeying?"
"The so-called disobedience to the way of heaven is actually following the way of heaven."
Mr. Zhuang explained, "The great way has birth and death. Those who follow the heavenly way follow the heavenly way of "birth". Those who violate the heavenly way of "defying" follow the heavenly way of "destruction."
Ink painting suddenly realized and understood a little.
The way of heaven is divided into two qualities, and they are judged and formed together.
Existence and non-existence are born and destroyed in the same way, good and evil are compared, and good and evil are followed.
Everything is Tao, and all human behaviors follow the "Tao". However, some "Tao" can be endless, while some "Tao" can only be destroyed by themselves.
Mo Hua thought about it again, but still didn't understand it very much:
"Everything in the world follows the way of heaven. Then what you see and hear are all Taos. What other monks seek for? "
Mr. Zhuang said: "The great way is all-encompassing, it can be all-encompassing, and it also means chaos and disunion, good and evil, truth and falsehood, appearance and true and true and true."
"People have eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, objects have colors, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and methods. What you see, hear, and know every day, are intertwined with good and bad, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Over time, you will naturally indulge in the false and shallowness, and it is difficult to see the true nature of the Great Way."
The ink painting's eyes were slightly brighter, and then he said:
"Just like looking at the visual image, do you have to see through the appearance and peek into the original appearance?"
Mr. Zhuang looked pleased and nodded slightly.
Mo Hua was a little confused again, "What is the true nature of the Great Dao?"
Mr. Zhuang said: "You have to think about this yourself. As long as you have not become an immortal, the Tao you know is not the essential Tao. Some of them are even flawed or even wrong Tao."
Mr. Zhuang smiled again and said, "I have never become an immortal, so what I tell you is definitely wrong. The true nature I know may be just a deeper appearance, not the final way."
"I understand sir." Mo Hua nodded, "The truth I understand is my own. Otherwise, no matter how much others say or how right I say, I have never understood it, and I can't understand it."
"So, you have to rely on your own understanding to seek the way of heaven. Even if you have a superficial understanding at the beginning, as long as you keep thinking and comprehending, and remove the false and retain the truth bit by bit, you can finally see the true nature of the way."
Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "It's right."
Mo Hua smiled and said with some uncertainty: "Sir, I am just refining my energy now, and I am thinking about comprehending the way of heaven. Is it a little too early..."
Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said in a gentle voice:
"Cultivation starts with qi refining, and enlightenment begins bit by bit, step by step, from low to high, from weak to strong, from shallow to deep, and finally, you can become a mind of enlightenment and truly realize the great way."
"Just like you look at this world, you will be blinded by your own high position and you will only see yourself; only by looking at the bottom, looking at the people of the world, and seeing the sufferings of monks, can you see the most essential things in this world."
Mo Hua nodded, thinking.
But he is young and has limited experience. Although he probably knows what Mr. Zhuang means, he has never seen the wider world of cultivation outside Tongxian City, so his experience is not deep enough.
Mr. Zhuang sighed slightly, "I didn't want to tell you these truths now. It's too early to tell you now..."
But if you don’t talk now, you may not have time to talk in the future...
Mo Hua was stunned and understood what Mr. Zhuang meant, then nodded solemnly and said:
"Sir, I remember it all well!"
Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said:
"If you understand this principle, I can teach you how to use the reverse spirit array."
Mo Hua was a little surprised, "Is the reverse spirit array related to these?"
Mr. Zhuang said: "When monks seeking the way of heaven, there are both at the level of Taoist mind and at the level of cultivation. If they want to seek the great way, Taoist mind and cultivation are indispensable."
"What is said above is related to the heart of Tao, and what is taught below is related to cultivation and formation, or in other words, it is the essence of the heavenly way at the spiritual level."
Mr. Zhuang's tone gradually slowed down and his eyes gradually became deeper.
Mo Hua's eyes trembled, she sat upright and listened seriously.
Mr. Zhuang let out a sigh of relief and said slowly:
"The origin of heaven and earth is Qi. The first judgment of Hongmeng, Qi is transformed into and derived all things in the heavens."
"The original Qi is called the Hongmeng Qi. Its breath is chaotic and powerful. I don't know how many years it has passed, and the chaos has been cleaned and become the vitality of all things."
"The most pure and richest among them, which can be refined and used by cultivators is spiritual energy. The spiritual energy contains the power of the heavenly way, and this power is called spiritual power."
"Although all the martial arts and Taoist techniques in the world are different from gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder and ice, etc., their root is the manifestation of spiritual power."
"The magic of spiritual cultivation, and even the blood and energy of physical cultivation, look very different, but they are also forms of spiritual power manifestation."
Ink painting suddenly realized:
"So the power of the five elements, as well as spells, blood and energy, are all superficial aspects, and spiritual power is the origin of these powers?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Yes, all Taoism, whether it is magic or martial arts, are created by spiritual power."
"Is the formation the same?"
"So too."
Mo Hua thought about it for a while and then understood.
The formation requires the formation eyes to provide spiritual power. The spiritual power flows through the formation pattern, and finally forms completely different Five Elements Formation power.
"Will there be any difference between the reverse spirit array?" Mo Hua asked.
Mr. Zhuang paused and said slowly:
"The ordinary formation is the power of spiritual power to form the five elements. The reverse spiritual array is the power of inverse change and decomposition of spiritual power, producing a purer and closer to the origin of the Great Dao."
"The great way is born and destroyed, gathered and born, and then resolved and destroyed!"
"The reverse spiritual array contains the power of destruction of the Great Dao! What it really solves is not the formation, but the more essential spiritual power in the formation!"
