After returning to the country, Jiu Jianxian and Yin Ruozhuo went back to Shushan first, while Dongfang Yu still had a task to send emptiness to the palace for the emperor to decide, although Princess Feiyan had been away longer than Dongfang Yu, and even Dongfang Yu He stayed in Nanzhao Kingdom for a few days, but Wukong Shu flew back from Nanzhao Kingdom in a short time, and it might take a day or two for Princess Feiyan to come back.
After entering the palace directly and meeting the emperor, Dongfang Yu told the emperor what happened in Nanzhao Kingdom and what Kongxing did. After all, Kong Xing is still a former national teacher, so it didn't take long to give up the position of national teacher to Dongfang Yu, and he was going to be punished heavily because of Dongfang Yu's fanfare? In this case, it will appear that the emperor is unkind and unrighteous, and he will kill the donkey.
Immediately, the emperor discussed with Dongfang Yu that the punishment of Kongxing Guoshi should be carried out in secret. Dongfang Yu naturally understood the emperor's concerns. Besides, Dongfang Yu is not the kind of person who wants to be famous. To suppress emptiness, Dongfang Yu simply nodded and agreed to the emperor's proposal.
The emperor was naturally very happy to see that Dongfang Yu understood righteousness so well. After pondering for a moment, Kongxing was also the abbot of Fan'an Temple after all, so he should not be punished too severely, but the emperor himself could not say clearly about this matter. Come out, so ask Dongfang Yu, do you have any ideas? I think how to deal with emptiness is better.
Regarding the emperor's concerns, he is naturally well aware. Although it is said that the whole world is the king's land, and the land is the king's minister, but if the emperor wants to execute the sword master brother, I believe that the entire Shushan Mountain will not agree, but , if not punished, how can I be worthy of myself
After thinking for a while, Dongfang Yu said, "I think it's fine to let Kongxing live in Fan'an Temple for twenty years and not allow him to step out of the temple gate."
"Twenty years of claustrophobia, is that all?" Dongfang Yu's words made the emperor startled slightly.
Twenty years of claustrophobia, and the location is Fan'an Temple? Such a punishment is nothing, right? Many eminent monks practiced in seclusion for ten years or even decades.
"That's enough," Dongfang Yu said with a wave of his hand, as if he didn't care about it at all. At least for the next twenty years, Kongxing will not be able to walk with great fanfare. Naturally, he has nothing to do with Shushan. up.
Dongfang Yu can also see that emptiness seems to hold malice towards Shushan. Now Shushan is in a period of rapid development, and the Juggernaut has broken the way again. It really needs a stable period to grow. This can be regarded as a slight advance towards Shushan. Stay strong.
"Alright, since the national teacher has such a mind, I will naturally follow you." Looking at Dongfang Yu, the expression did not seem to be fake, so the emperor nodded and agreed, and immediately conveyed this order to Kong Xing, condemning it. He was confined to Fan'an Temple for twenty years and was not allowed to step out of the temple gate.
After the matter about emptiness was settled, the emperor immediately asked about Princess Feiyan. Didn't Princess Feiyan chase you? Why did I see you coming back but not the princess
Dongfang Yu replied that the princess should be here in a few days. The princess set off on horseback first, but when she flew back, she arrived before her.
The matter in the capital was almost handled. Dongfang Yu thought about it, and went to Liu Jinyuan's house again, and told him about Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er. Master Yue, Liu Jinyuan is also very excited, happy for the two of them.
However, Dongfang Yu told Liu Jinyuan about Lin Yueru and asked him to tell Lin Tiannan that Lin Yueru had been accepted as a disciple by God Nuwa and led to the fairy world.
"Cousin, has she actually become a disciple of God Nuwa? It's really gratifying and congratulatory." Hearing the news, Liu Jinyuan said with a forced smile.
On the one hand, Liu Jinyuan is also happy for Lin Yueru's results. After all, being able to become the disciple of Nuwa God is a blessing that has been cultivated for many years. On the other hand, Liu Jinyuan also feels a little bitter, after all He has a deep affection for Lin Yueru, and if he went to the fairyland, doesn't it mean that he will never have the chance to meet again
Dongfangyu can also understand Liu Jinyuan's mood, but I can't help him with this matter. After Lin Yueru's incident was also notified to Liu Jinyuan, Dongfangyu had nothing to do in the capital. She moved and flew back to Shushan Already...
Regarding the matter of entering the Tao, does Dongfang Yu want to ask his senior brother carefully? After Yin Ruozhu entered the Tao and broke the Tao, he naturally had some opinions on the so-called Tao, so it is very appropriate to ask him at this time.
After returning to Shushan, Dongfangyu found Senior Brother Jiujianxian and went down the mountain again. Perhaps for him, laughing and cursing, playing in the world is his way. Perhaps he can only use this method to eliminate his hatred of witchcraft. Hou Qinger's longing.
Regarding Dongfang Yu's question, Yin Ruozhuo cooked a pot of tea, and the two sat facing each other. Regarding the understanding of Tao, Yin Ruozhuo generously gave Dongfang Yu his own understanding.
"In my opinion, the way of heaven and earth, look back at this moment, it doesn't matter if you don't enter it." Yin Ruozhuo's first sentence was like this, which moved Dongfang Yu.
At this moment, Yin Ruozhuo seemed to be a real person. The Tao in his mouth was no longer the illusory Zen mechanism. Once he uttered it, it was dry stuff.
"Brother, what's the explanation?" Dongfang Yu put down the teacup in her hand, humbly asking for advice.
"Well, let me tell you a story." Regarding Dongfang Yu's words, Yin Ruozhuo did not explain directly, but told Dongfang Yu the truth in a metaphorical way.
"Once upon a time, there was a farmer who specialized in raising snakes. Snakes are all aggressive, especially when different snakes are together. For example, if some particularly ferocious snakes grow to a large size, they will attack other snakes. The snake and the farming situation of this farmer pose a great threat, so this kind of snake that looks particularly ferocious will eventually be isolated, do you understand what I mean?".
Yin Ruozhuo's so-called story is actually just a metaphor, it's very short, but Dongfang Yu still understood what he meant: "Brother, what do you mean? Those of us who are particularly powerful are like Are those snakes that have grown up and entered the Tao, are they actually a means of restraining us?".
"That's right." Yin Ruozhuo nodded in agreement after hearing Dongfang Yu's words.
"Every monk, whether it is our sword cultivation, Buddhism, or other methods of cultivation, in fact, the final result is the same. We call it enlightenment, and Buddhism calls it enlightenment Bodhi. And desire~desire is the lowest, even blending into the world, how can you say that you have no desire~desire, you have become a part of the nature of the world, naturally, even if you have a powerful body, you will not cause harm to everything in the world threatened."
"So that's the case, so this is the true face of entering the Tao?" After listening to senior brother Yin Ruozhuo's explanation, Dongfang Yu suddenly realized and understood.
No wonder I always feel something is wrong. Entering the Tao in this world simply wants to turn people into an emotionless existence like a red one. So this is the true face of entering the Tao
A simple analogy, if this world is like a network virtual world, then the way of heaven is a network system. Some monks will become stronger and stronger as they practice, and they can cut off rivers and mountains with a gesture. A cultivator at this level is a great threat to this world and all creatures. For example, Di Shitian in the Fengyun plane will become a virus in this virtual network.
Then the so-called entry into the Tao is to turn these extremely threatening people into small programs similar to the Red Queen, without pursuit and desire, so if there is no powerful power, naturally it will not It poses a threat to everything in this world. Didn't you see that in the original book, even if it was the death of the witch queen or the wine sword fairy, the sword master didn't mean to intervene? No matter how one enters the Tao, is this the performance a person should have
"So it turns out that the so-called entry into the Tao is just a conspiracy of the Dao of Heaven." At this time, Dongfang Yu suddenly realized what the so-called entry into the Tao in this world is, and this truth is related to Dongfang Yu's. Over the past few days, my conjectures have coincided, and fortunately, I didn't choose to enter the Tao with all my heart, but kept my mind on it.
The preciousness of human beings is that they have their own ideals, emotions, pursuits, and Taoism? Cultivate yourself into an existence like Dongfang Xiaohong? Thinking about how she would become like that, Dongfang Yu felt a chill in her heart, and she was terrified.
Looking at Dongfang Yu's face with a look of rejoicing, Yin Ruozhuo was actually a little scared in his heart. Looking back and thinking about the past ten years, his emotions have almost faded. The way is broken, maybe in a few decades, I will really become a stone man who has no desires or desires.
"Taoism? Is it like this? Is it just the rules of heaven in this plane? Or is it the same in all planes?" After learning the truth about Taoism in this plane, Dongfang Yu murmured inwardly.
Since this is the truth of entering Taoism in this plane, Dongfang Yu will naturally not enter Taoism, but, will it be the same in other planes in the future? After thinking about it, I don't have a clue, forget it, let's wait until another plane.
"I thought that the so-called entering the Tao is actually realizing the original mind." Shaking his head, Dongfang Yu sighed.
"Understand your true heart?" Yin Ruozhuo was slightly taken aback by Dongfang Yu's words, and there was a hint of thought between his brows.
