Chapter 297 [Legend of the Kneading Road]
“Everyone in the world says that my Wang family’s Mathematical Scripture is too overbearing and is envied by the gods. All the descendants who have inherited the Mathematical Scripture in the past generations have been weak and sickly. If they cannot achieve a Dharmakaya before the age of fifty, they will surely die young.”
Wang Siyuan covered his mouth and nose with a white handkerchief stained red, and coughed violently a few times. His breath was extremely weak, and he murmured: "After achieving the Dharma body, the nightmare really began. The ancestors of the Wang family, if they achieved the Dharma body, would encounter ominous things when they passed away, and their death was unknown, and they would not have a good end..."
"The cause and effect are entangled, and we are like puppets. We can't have both." Lin Xian said calmly: "Since the Wang family has been passed down for more than 200,000 years, it is natural that we have to bear the corresponding price. Young Master Wang, you have to sacrifice before you can gain."
The Wang family of Jiangdong has experienced ancient and medieval times, seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster, and has been passed down to this day. They are the family with the longest history and know many ancient secrets. After more than 200,000 years, their cultural heritage is extremely profound.
However, as the moon waxes when it is full, just as water wanes when it is full, a child holding gold will surely encounter unexpected disasters, and too many treasures will inevitably attract the covetousness of powerful people, which will bring countless troubles.
"If you give, you gain. If you are willing to give, you will give." Wang Siyuan murmured in his heart, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up his mind. When he opened his eyes again, there was a little madness in his eyes, and he whispered: "Qingyuan..."
"Young Master, Taoist Qingyuan has gone far away." The maid beside him reminded, which made Wang Siyuan stunned. Why didn't this person listen to him? Isn't he curious about the secrets of the Wang family?
It's like a gamer who doesn't listen to the NPC's plot introduction and just skips it!
"Priest Qingyuan left a note before he left." Another maid holding a fruit plate came forward, and the cakes and preserved fruits were taken away by Lin Xian, and replaced by a piece of paper.
There were two words written on it - Hell!
"The underworld? That's ominous!"
Wang Siyuan took a deep breath, his fingers trembled slightly, and he felt uncontrollable excitement. He knew that he knew everything!
Cooperating with someone who knows the truth, breaking the shackles and getting rid of control seems to be a glimmer of hope.
The curse and misfortune of the Wang family originated from the first ancestor of the Wang family who created the "Mathematical Classics", mastered the Luoshu, and calculated everything without omission!
At that time, the Heaven Palace collapsed and the world was in disorder. The ancestor of the Wang family who was in the realm of creation got a glimpse of the secrets of heaven and refined the map of ghosts and gods. He wanted to establish a real underworld, become the master of the underworld, and participate in the struggle between those on the other side. He wanted to fish in troubled waters and even take the opportunity to reach the other side!
Unfortunately, those on the other side are still those on the other side, and those below that side are all ants.
He regretted that he had been working hard year after year to make wedding dresses for others. All the plans of the ancestor of the Wang family were reaped by those on the other side, and he died helplessly.
The trump card that the Wang family's ancestor used to dare to fight against the people from the other side, the monster of heaven bred by the remains of Huang Laojun and left by the Taoist master for his enlightenment, completely became the source of chaos for the Wang family. From then on, every generation of the Wang family's Dharma body head turned into a part of the monster of heaven after his death.
"Monsters of the heavens, cause and effect of the heavens, the true spirit map of ghosts and gods, cause and effect of the earth, the Luoshu, and cause and effect of humanity. The three are intertwined and transformed into an endless curse for the Wang family of Jiangdong. The ancestor of the Wang family really dares to cause trouble..."
Lin Xian muttered to himself, this situation has serious consequences. Even if there are people from the other side standing behind him and there is a plan made by heaven, they cannot interfere casually.
If you want to get out of the game after entering it, your current level is not enough.
The minimum requirement is: slightly legendary characteristics, able to be everywhere and meticulous!
With this thought in mind, Lin Xian quickly walked to an alley entrance. In front of the door there was a locust tree of unknown age. Its lush branches and leaves blocked the sunlight and provided a cool shade.
Under the tree there was an ordinary old man with gray hair carving.
He held the tree root in his left hand and the carving knife in his right hand, with a focused expression and no distractions, as if every cut he made represented his whole life.
Lin Xian gradually slowed down his pace, staring at the knife and the wood, putting all his mind into it, as if he was watching a saint performing a lecture.
The carving knife fell, the bark fell, and there was only the sound of the carving knife and the rustling sound of the bark falling to the ground. It seemed peaceful and pure.
Natural fun, pious and focused!
Only if you can reach the extreme of emotion, then you can reach the extreme of sword!
After a long time, as the old man brought down his last knife, a lifelike statue of a woman appeared in his hand. Lin Xian also let out a long breath, his mind relaxed, his body active, the Dharma image and the Dharma principle began to interweave and combine, and he crossed the first level of the ladder to reach the fourth level of the outer scene!
As for the first three levels, it is a slow and steady process of inhaling and exhaling vital energy and refining acupoints. There is no reliance on anything. It will happen naturally after taking a few golden pills.
"This guy has such high talent and great background, he seems to be similar to a god."
Mr. Lu raised his head, sighed, and then said calmly: "Unlike me, who has mediocre talent and is extremely dull."
"If the One-Minded Sword that opened up the legendary path was a dull person, then there would be few geniuses in the universe."
"Chun Yang Sect, Qingyuan greets Mr. Lu."
Lin Xian shook his head and stepped forward to pay his respects. No matter which world they are in, the predecessors who explore the way forward and open up systems are all Taoist ancestors worthy of admiration.
"The legendary road?" Mr. Lu shook his head and smiled, "It's still on the road. Whether there is an end in front of it is still unknown."
“I don’t follow the traditional path, but insist on purifying myself. Perhaps in the eyes of the true legend, I am a fool.”
“No.” Lin Xian said calmly, “The legendary path of our universe originated from the Three Pure Ones and other innate gods. They are emotionally indifferent and close to the Tao, so naturally they choose to assimilate others and merge projections.”
"The innate gods and spirits originate from the Great Dao, and the path of unity among all the egos is more in line with their nature."
"However, my generation is born with rich emotions, not Taoism, but life, and pays more attention to the self."
“Although I am similar to gods, my emotions are like those of ordinary people.”
"This move by the senior is tantamount to opening up another path for future generations."
"Once you succeed, you can be called the ancestor of Taoism!"
"I don't deserve this honor." Mr. Lu still shook his head and said very seriously: "I am just an explorer along the way. This road is only suitable for some people."
"Those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die."
As we all know, Mr. Lu Da embarked on the path of alternative legend because he missed his deceased wife. Since this feeling was something he and I did not have, he emphasized himself and separated himself from others.
In other words, if you want to take this path, you must first have a girlfriend!
Only those with strong determination can take this path.
Only if the ruthless emperor were to repair it, would it be possible to succeed.
As for Lin Xian, he has no deceased wife and no brother. Single Lin Xian pondered for a long time and said slowly: "I really don't have the obsession of my predecessors. If I just imitate blindly, it doesn't fit my nature."
So what is Lin Xian’s true nature?
Lin Xian sat cross-legged under a tree, communicating, discussing, and learning from Mr. Lu. He went from confusion to enlightenment, from enlightenment to doubt, from doubt to sudden enlightenment, and from sudden enlightenment to confusion again.
All kinds of emotions alternate, the more you know, the more you don’t know.
The more you analyze yourself, the less you recognize yourself.
What does the legendary path look like? Is it to improve the essence and project the self, or to imprint the self and strengthen the self.
"Who am I, who am I?"
Lin Xian asked questions from the depths of his soul.
It’s not like Mr. Lu, the ruthless emperor. Those who are extreme in emotion are extreme in morality.
It's not Ye Fan or Shi Hao, who are emperors with great luck, who put the world and all people first, who shoulder the responsibility of all the worlds, who suppress all the realms, and who are confident that they are invincible.
Nor are they sincere seekers of the truth who are as diligent as the Buddha, the Taoist Master, and the Three Pure Ones.
Lin Xian was deep in thought, as if he had attained enlightenment. Mr. Lu did not interrupt him, but stood up and walked away, looking into the distance, as if he saw the surging river coming towards him.
Time passed, a day and a night went by, the sound of the tide became louder and louder, and finally reached a limit!
"Crash!"
The Jinshui River, which was rising higher and higher, suddenly surged and turned into a wave more than ten feet high.
At the same time, the mountains, rivers and peaks around Maoling were all covered with a layer of colorful light by the rising sun, which was as beautiful as a dream.
At the entrance of the alley, the sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves of the locust tree, casting brilliant golden spots on the ground.
Light and shadows were mottled, and the world was dancing. Lin Xian stretched out his palm to catch a ray of blazing light, which was warm and clear. He said thoughtfully: "So that's how it is, it's actually like this!"
I have never fought for the fruits of the Way, I only love to feed on the old and the young. Suddenly the golden shackles were opened, and the jade locks were torn off. Hey! The tide is coming on the Jinshui River, and today I know who I am.
I am who I am, why make distinctions? Getting entangled in the distinction between others and myself is just asking for trouble.
It is his nature to be content with a small fortune, it is his nature to rely on his parents for support and his children for comfort, it is his nature to be kind-hearted, it is his nature to be dark and shameless, it is his nature to get something for nothing, and it is his nature to be good at dancing with the sleeves.
"My nature, from nothing to something, is like yin and yang, good and bad."
"Whether good or evil, it is my nature and I cannot give it up."
"Respond to all changes with constancy, and respond to all movements with immobility."
"It is like the sea, encompassing everything, holding up a thousand things, moving the invisible and able to transform things."
"So, my nature is like the sea that can accommodate all rivers, and I am great because I am tolerant, and I am strong because I have no desires."
"The universe is endless, the self is infinite, the self has no desires, the self is unique."
Lin Xian stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the huge tide on the horizon, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said with great certainty: "I am the one who feeds on the old and suffers the young, and I am also the one who lies down and plays."
"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so where can it cause dust!"
If you seek outside, take what you can get, no matter how hard it is. Do what you want, and accept everything that comes.
But one should also know when to stop, have self-knowledge, go with the flow, ride the wind, and not force the position of destiny and master of the universe.
This is the legendary path of Lin Xian’s self-realization!
Lin Xian took a step forward and came to the bank of Jinshui River. He stood side by side with Mr. Lu and whispered, "Wherever my heart is at peace is my hometown."
Mr. Lu looked back and said thoughtfully: "Is this your legendary path, a combination of acquired and innate? Integrating the authority of the gods with a mortal body."
"Yes, my path is similar to yours, but also different."
"On the self, we should learn from the teacher to continue to purify ourselves, improve our own essence, strengthen our uniqueness, understand who we are, and let the spiritual light of our nature leap to infinite heights."
"Above him and me, I am the only one, just like an innate divine embryo. I can be said to be a natural legend. I only need to grasp the authority and inherit the position!"
Lin Xian said frankly, today I know that I am myself. I have nothing originally, so how can I be disturbed by dust?
There is no need for him to prove his legend. He is born with legendary characteristics. From the moment he stepped into the real world, he was a legend. It's just that because he is too weak, his characteristics are not revealed.
The previous experiment in the world of Under One Person was correct, and he already had a subtle sense of it.
Next, all I have to do is to brand myself, project all the worlds, and even inherit, devour, and fuse the selves of other legends!
There are two paths to take.
Killing the innate gods, usurping their authority and replacing them is the wrong path.
Inheriting the legendary karma, the karma of creation, the karma of the other shore, becoming the second generation, the third generation, and continuing to rely on your parents, this is the positive path.
“Power, karma?” Mr. Lu kindly pointed out, “Those are all karma, and you will have to pay for them in the future. Be careful not to become a fish.”
"Don't worry, sir." Lin Xian said with a smile, "I am a first-rate escape master. If you can't beat me, I will be the first to run away."
