Infinite true path

Huan Yin crossed his legs and closed his eyes, with his fishing rod stretched out, just like the three Dharmakayas beside him, as if fishing quietly. But the only difference is that there is still no fishing line on Huan Yin's fishing rod.

And Huan Yin just sat quietly for a long time. However, hidden beneath his seemingly calm appearance are actually extremely complex and profound thoughts.

Huan Yin has always been thinking about one question, that is, what is the Tao. Or to be more precise, what secret did he discover when Donghuang Taiyi Avenue was not yet completed, which made him so determined that he was willing to give up what he had cultivated throughout his life.

The answer should lie in the three sentences of the three old men, and now these three sentences are constantly swirling in Huan Yin's mind.

In fact, after Huan Yin listened to the first three sentences, he already made a subconscious judgment. The two sentences of the first two old men, "When you gain the Tao, you can know what is true and false" and "When you gain the Tao, you can distinguish right from wrong." Huan Yin felt that they should be right, and the last sentence, "When you gain the Tao, you gain nothing. When you gain the Tao, you lose something." "Huan Yin felt that it didn't make sense.

The reason is very simple, even like common sense. Regardless of whether it is a monk or a mortal, regardless of the avenue or path, after attaining the Tao, isn't it just to know the truth and falsehood and to distinguish right from wrong? Even if a young son enters the school to listen to his teacher's lecture, the principle is the same.

But if you gain nothing after attaining the Tao, and instead suffer some loss, then what is the Tao for you to learn? This simply goes against the fundamental meaning of everyone’s pursuit of the Tao.

However, Huan Yin quickly rejected his initial idea. He himself is not stupid, and he will not think that Donghuang Taiyi is a fool. Therefore, if the way Donghuang Taiyi has understood is so simple, it will not take him nearly a million years to understand it.

"There must be a deeper mystery in these three sentences." After thinking for a while, Huan Yin came to this conclusion. And from then on, Huan Yin began to re-examine these three sentences.

Huan Yin felt that since he couldn't understand these three sentences in the conventional way, he might as well try to think about them the other way around. In other words, words that may seem right according to common sense may turn out to be wrong upon closer inspection.

Once such an idea occurred, Huan Yin was immediately stumped by the first two sentences. Could it be said that after attaining the Tao, one cannot distinguish between true and false, nor can one know right from wrong?

Such a conclusion sounded too absurd, but Huan Yin had to think this way, which caused great conflicts in his heart, and even began to show signs of instability.

From the outside, Huan Yin's brows were already furrowed, and the frown was very deep. Moreover, his whole body began to sweat and his body began to tremble. It seemed that he might wake up from his realization at any time.

It sounds incredible that such a strong reaction was caused by two simple sentences. However, the simplest two sentences are like the most obvious and least need for consideration. Once viewed in reverse, it is a huge challenge not only for Huan Yin, but also for everyone. It's like there is a cow in front of you, but someone tells you that it is not a cow, but a pig, and you are asked to believe this fact from the bottom of your heart. How can someone do this?

Soon, a full ten days passed. During the ten days, Huan Yin was always in a state of great contradiction, and his whole body was soaked with sweat again and again. There were several times during this period that Huan Yin almost woke up and completely withdrew from the state of enlightenment.

However, Huan Yin's perseverance and persistence played a huge role. No matter how great the conflict in his heart was, he insisted on understanding and thinking and never gave up. And his persistence not only successfully suppressed the turmoil in his heart time and time again, but also gradually moved the Dharma Bodies around him.

These dharma bodies were all witnesses when Donghuang Taiyi attained enlightenment. Donghuang Taiyi also faced huge contradictions when he was enlightened. He struggled again and again, and even woken up many times. Although Donghuang Taiyi was not warned by people like Huan Yin that the difficulties he faced would be much greater, but Huan Yin always insisted on not quitting the state of enlightenment, which is equally admirable and extraordinary!

I have to admit that what Huan Yin wants to understand is so difficult and profound that some people may even find it ridiculous. However, with constant persistence, Dehuan Yin kept thinking from different angles, and gradually it finally worked.

Huan Yin thought of the Xuanyuan Sword, and how everything around him seemed to have turned into false power when the sword was slashed out. Then, he thought about the method of summoning spirits, and thought about the sentence "animals are all vain." Isn’t the so-called “false” just false? Therefore, the method of summoning spirits can also be interpreted as "animals are all false."

These two mysterious things related to the ancient times are both related to truth and falsehood. Thinking about it this way, the saying "one who has the Tao can know the truth and falsehood" is probably correct.

If you continue to think in this direction, you will find that neither the Xuanyuan Sword nor the Spirit Conjuration seems to have anything to do with right and wrong. So maybe "having gained the Tao and being able to distinguish right from wrong" is wrong?

If this is the case, then a new problem arises. What is the difference between "true and false" and "right and wrong"? Why does the true way only care about "true and false" but not "right and wrong"?

Thinking of this, although there is still conflict in Huan Yin's heart, it is much less. As a result, his struggles began to slow down, and his overall condition gradually improved.

The changes in Huan Yin's body were quickly captured by the surrounding Dharmakaya. As a result, each of these Dharmakayas were moved again, surprised by Huan Yin's speed of understanding.

Although Huan Yin was warned, his speed was still much faster than Donghuang Taiyi back then. Donghuang Taiyi discovered this secret back then, and time was calculated based on years.

This time, Huan Yin thought about it for another ten days. Ten days later, he really couldn't tell the difference between "true and false" and "right and wrong." So, he chose to give up temporarily.

Huan Yin focused on the third sentence and re-examined it.

On the surface, this statement is problematic. So what about going deeper?

Another ten days, that is, a full month has passed in total. Huan Yin recited the third sentence silently tens of thousands of times in his heart, and his thoughts also changed in countless directions. Until he finally thought of combining this sentence with the previous two sentences.

"Xuanyuan Sword gives people the impression that only the sword is real, and everything else is fake, and the ghost directly says that all animals and beasts are fake. If you think about it this way, if it is true that everything in this world is fake, then if you become enlightened, it seems Nothing can be gained from the truth. Because it is all false, what else can be gained? And because everything is false, after attaining enlightenment, you will find the truth and lose everything..." Thinking of this, Huan Yin's heart was filled with uproar. Denying everything in this world, is this the so-called "true way"?

The incredible speculation made De Huanyin's mind roar. However, he couldn't help but continue thinking: "If this is really the case, then it is right to know the truth and the false, that is, the first sentence is right. However, because everything is false, then the right and wrong in this world are also correct. It loses its meaning. In this way, the statement of right and wrong... does not hold true!"

Thinking of this, among the countless messy thoughts in Huan Yin's mind, a line suddenly bypassed many obstacles and connected them clearly. If the three sentences are understood in this way and corroborate each other, everything makes sense. This is the final explanation!

It was also at this moment, more than a month after Huan Yin sat cross-legged, that in front of Huan Yin's always deep fishing rod, a thin line quietly came out from the top and extended towards the sea of ​​lava and fire below.

This thin line is not transformed by Huan Yin using Taoism, but generated by itself. But this time, no matter how fierce the sea of ​​​​fire was, no matter how high the temperature of the lava, this thin line was not moved at all, and finally plunged into the sea of ​​​​fire!

"He figured it out, and he got Taiyi's approval. He had a glimpse of it, and he could fish. It only took more than a month, but he actually did it!" The Dharmakaya who spoke to Huan Yin the most said with a look of emotion.

The dharma body stared at Huan Yin intently, as if he saw a blurry shadow on Huan Yin's body. This phantom was also sitting here fishing silently. He was also conflicted, yet he persisted. The most important thing is that he is a genius and brilliant!

"It's like... so similar. Back then, he was also so hard-working and refused to give up. Back then, he was also so amazing and talented, and he understood quickly. Maybe this young man can really succeed!" Dharmakaya himself The words arrived.
