Throughout the ages, there has been a saying in the Great Wilderness.
The older you live, the less courageous you are.
When Gu Qingfeng was young, he thought this sentence was like farting.
Even if he was judged by the Immortal Dao later on when he was crowned king, and even after he was burned to the nine heavens by the great emperor Jiuyou, he still couldn't understand this sentence.
It wasn't until the end of ancient times, after the rebirth of Nirvana, that he could gradually understand this sentence, especially after he began to search for cause and effect, and stepped into original sin, he became more and more able to understand the truth of the sentence that the older you live, the less courageous you are. meaning.
Youth is fearless because of ignorance.
When you are old, you have experienced more, know more, know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there is an outside world, so the courage gradually becomes smaller.
This is the first time for Gu Qingfeng to enter the ancient black hole. Although the Daxing Maniac monk repeatedly persuaded him and told him about the horrors of the ancient black hole, he didn't take it to heart, and he didn't care at all. It didn't matter.
With this experience, Gu Qingfeng will definitely be cautious if he enters the Huanggu black hole next time, at least he won't rush around fearlessly like this time.
"Gu boy, did the divine consciousness and demonic thoughts beyond the avenue merge in that desolate ancient ruin with disordered space?"
When the voice of Daxing Monk came, Gu Qingfeng nodded and responded, "That's right."
"I said boy, I know that you have always had a big heart, but I didn't expect your heart to be so big as to be boundless. You said that you merged the spiritual consciousness and demonic thoughts of those children of original sin. Although they all He is the overlord of the ancient times, but he is also within the law and order of the Great Dao. Why do you dare to integrate the spiritual consciousness and demonic thoughts outside the Great Dao? Are you really afraid that others will swallow your self-consciousness? Are you brave? Is it too big?"
"You think Grandpa wants to merge?"
"What's the matter? It's difficult for the divine consciousness and demonic thoughts from outside the avenue to forcefully send you to fuse? But even so, you won't resist? Stand there and let him blend in? If you can't resist, you don't know Run? Don’t tell me that you can’t even run.”
"I didn't resist, and I didn't run."
"Why is that?"
"To tell you the truth, I didn't know what was going on at the time, and that thing was inexplicably integrated into my body. Don't talk about running, let alone resisting. I didn't even react at the time. After his mother reacted, , she has integrated into the body of the master without any sign."
Gu Qingfeng said helplessly: "Besides, he became dormant immediately after integrating into it. I can't even detect it, I can only feel it faintly."
"That touch of divine consciousness and demonic thoughts beyond the Dao..." Daxing Daxing Monk was horrified, and said, "Is it really so evil?"
"Otherwise, what do you think, if it wasn't for this thing that suddenly started to move, I would have almost forgotten that there is an ominous thing in my body."
Speaking of this, Gu Qingfeng asked: "There is one thing that I really can't understand. Why do you say that thing is a spiritual consciousness beyond the Dao?"
"Don't tell the old man, you kid didn't even know that thing was a divine consciousness beyond the avenue?"
"Don't tell me, I really don't know. Didn't I just say that the thing hibernates after it blends in, and I don't even have time to investigate."
"Yes! You are so big-hearted, I am completely convinced!"
The Daxing Mad Monk is becoming more and more convinced of Gu Qingfeng, and inexplicably fused a spiritual consciousness and demonic thoughts outside the avenue, this kid just doesn't care, and he almost forgot about such a thing .
If he were to be a Daxing crazy monk, he would inexplicably fuse a mysterious and unknown thing, he must not be able to eat well and sleep, and he would never give up until he figured it out.
He believed that anyone else would do the same.
Looking at the past and present, I am afraid that only Gu Qingfeng can be so big-hearted.
"I haven't answered my question yet, why do you say that thing exists outside the avenue?"
"Nonsense! Things don't belong to darkness and evil, nor do they belong to sacred light. What is it if they don't exist outside of the Dao?" The Daxing Monk knew that Gu Qingfeng's common sense of practice had always been lacking, and explained: "Everything in the world, As long as it is within the law of the Dao, it either belongs to darkness and evil, or it belongs to divine light, and there will be no third possibility."
"Why?"
"What's the use of this? The Dao said that one yuan produces two forms, have you heard it? One yuan represents chaos, two forms represent yin and yang, darkness and evil represent yin, and sacred light represents yang. There is also a saying that heaven is yang and earth is yang." It is Yin, and everything in the world is conceived and formed, and naturally it is also within the law of the Dao."
Although Gu Qingfeng said that he lacked common sense in practice, he had heard of the theory of the Great Dao that one Yuan generates two instruments, and he also knew that everything in the world is within the laws of the Dao, so he asked, "Then what's the matter with original sin?"
"Original sin is not within the law of the great way. In addition to original sin, there is primitiveness. It is said that these two existences existed as early as the era of chaos. Original sin and primitiveness existed before."
"Except for original sin and primordial, what exists beyond the avenue?"
"this… "
The mad monk Daxing responded: "So far, the only existences beyond the Dao that I know of are original sin and primitiveness. As for the others... I really don't know."
"If the thing on Grandpa is something other than the Dao, is it original sin or originality?"
"It doesn't count. At least, I don't think so. After all, there should be more than original sin and originality, and there may be other things. It's just that we have little knowledge and don't know."
"Can it be understood that there is chaos beyond the avenue?"
"This... It's hard to say, and it's not good to say. I don't know if there is chaos outside the avenue, but... all the existences outside the avenue should be conceived by chaos."
"I remember hearing you say that original sin gave birth to darkness and evil, and original sin gave birth to divine light. Why are darkness, evil and divine light within the avenue, but original sin and originality are outside the avenue?"
"It's not difficult to understand, right? If the original sin and originality are Lao Tzu, then the holy light and darkness and evil are the sons. It's not surprising that Lao Tzu is outside the Dao and the Son is inside the Dao?"
Daxing Mad Monk rubbed his bald head, and tried to explain: "It's like saying two gods, gods, they are born gods, but the sons they give birth to may not necessarily be gods, maybe they are also mortals. .”
"Original sin and primitiveness exist outside the Dao, but the sons conceived by them may not necessarily be outside the Dao. This is the same as the gods."
heard the words.
Gu Qingfeng couldn't help laughing, he was speechless to refute the explanation of Daxing Mad Monk.
"Well, even if that's what you say, you old bald donkey, don't you feel that what you said is contradictory?"
"What? Where is the contradiction?"
"You said that the divine light and darkness and evil are the result of original sin and original conception. Just now you said that the Dao said that one element produces two forms, one element is like chaos, and the two forms are yin and yang, and yin and yang represent the sacred light and darkness and evil. Then … Are darkness, evil, and divine light conceived from original sin, or from chaos, yin and yang?”
"This... this..."
Da Xing Crazy Monk didn't come up with a reason for this for a long time, he shook his head fiercely, and said: "Gu boy, don't be serious, okay, these questions you asked are too fucking deep, The old monk can’t answer it, not to mention that the old monk can’t answer it, even the ancient unknown who claims to know everything may not be able to answer it.”
"Whether it's the theory of the great way or the original sin, it's an ancient fable. Who knows which one is true and which one is false."
Gu Qingfeng didn't continue to ask, but continued to go deep into the void while meditating.
After a while, he shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this issue for now. There is one more thing that I don't understand."
"what's up?"
"Is there really an outside of the avenue?"
"this… "
Obviously.
This question asked by Gu Qingfeng once again touched the blind spot of Daxing Monk.
Without waiting for the Daxing Mad Monk to respond, Gu Qingfeng said again: "Anyway, I think the Dao has no end, and it is impossible to have an end. There is an old saying that you should have heard."
"What old saying?"
"There is a sky beyond the sky!"
"Nonsense! How could I not have heard of this sentence? Not only has I heard of it, but I also know about the ancient Nine Palaces, and even the ancient black hole, including that we are now in the endless sea of the outer sky."
"Since there is a sky beyond the sky, how do you know that there is no great way beyond the great way?"
"this… "
When Gu Qingfeng's voice came, Da Xing Mad Monk scratched his head and really didn't know how to respond, because before that, he had never thought about this question. He often listened to it. As for the way outside the Tao, he had never heard of it.
"Wait! That's not right! Good guy! This old man was almost entangled by your kid!"
The mad monk Daxing thought about it for a second, and felt wrong again, and said: "The reason why this endless sea of ruins is called Tianwaitian is because the laws of heaven and earth cannot cover this place. It is precisely because there is no law of heaven and earth here that there is space. Chaos, time chaos, and even the turbulent flow of space-time chaos."
After a pause, Daxing Madman continued: "Besides, I never said that there is no Dao outside the Dao. I just said that the thing on your body is not within the law of the Dao."
"That's what I want to say too."
"What is that what you want to say?" Daxing Daxing Monk was completely confused by Gu Qingfeng's words, and said: "What on earth do you want to say? Why do you say something here and there, and the donkey's head is wrong! "
"What I want to say is, what is the law of heaven and earth, and what is the law of the great way? Why do I feel more and more that these two laws are the same thing?"
After listening to Gu Qingfeng's words, Daxing Mad Monk was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing inexplicably.
