Chapter 1029 Deny Everything

Huan Yin sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his fishing rod extended, just like the three Dharma bodies beside him, as if he was fishing quietly. But the only difference was that there was still no fishing line on Huan Yin's fishing rod.

And Huan Yin sat quietly like this for a long time. However, under his seemingly calm appearance, he actually had extremely complex and profound thoughts.

Huan Yin has always been thinking about a question, that is, what is the Tao. Or to be more precise, when the Donghuang Taiyi Dao was not yet completed, what secret did he discover that made him so sure that he was willing to give up his life's practice.

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

In fact, from the very beginning, after Huan Yin heard the three sentences, he had already made a subconscious judgment. Huan Yin felt that the first two sentences of the old men, "If you get the Tao, you can know the true and false" and "If you get the Tao, you can distinguish right from wrong", should be correct, but the last sentence "If you get the Tao, you will gain nothing. If you get the Tao, you will lose something", Huan Yin felt that it didn't make sense.

The reason is very simple, even like common sense. Whether it is a cultivator or a mortal, whether it is a big or small path, after obtaining the Tao, isn't it to know the truth and distinguish right from wrong? Even if a young child enters the school to listen to the teacher's lecture, the truth is the same.

If there is no gain after obtaining the Tao, but there will be some losses, then what is the point of learning the Tao? This is completely contrary to the fundamental meaning of everyone's pursuit of the Tao.

However, Huan Yin quickly denied his initial idea. He is not stupid, and he would not think that Donghuang Taiyi is a fool, so if Donghuang Taiyi's enlightenment is so simple, it would not take him nearly a million years to comprehend 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 these three sentences could not be understood in the conventional way, it would be better to try to think about it the other way around. In other words, perhaps the words are right according to common sense, but perhaps they become wrong when you look deeper.

As soon as this thought came up, Huan Yin was immediately stumped by the first two sentences. Could it be that after attaining the Tao, one cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood, nor can one know right from wrong?

Such a conclusion sounds too absurd, but Huan Yin had to think so, which caused great contradictions in his heart, and even gradually began to show signs of instability.

From the outside, Huan Yin's brows had been frowned, and they were very deep. Moreover, he began to sweat all over and his body began to tremble. He seemed to be awakened from his perception at any time.

Such a strong reaction was caused by two simple sentences, which sounded a little incredible. However, the simplest two sentences, like the most obvious and least necessary truth, once you look at it the other way around, not to mention Huan Yin, it is a great challenge for anyone. 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 have to believe this fact from the bottom of your heart. How can you 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. During this period, Huan Yin almost woke up several times and completely exited the state of perception.

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

These Dharma bodies were all witnesses of Donghuang Taiyi's enlightenment. Donghuang Taiyi also faced great contradictions when he was enlightened, struggling again and again, and even woke up many times. Although Donghuang Taiyi did not have someone to remind him like Huan Yin, the difficulty he faced would be much greater, but Huan Yin always insisted on not exiting the state of perception, which was equally admirable and extraordinary!

It has to be admitted that what Huan Yin wanted to comprehend was too difficult and too profound, and some people even thought it was absurd. However, with constant persistence, Huan Yin kept changing his perspective, and gradually it finally worked.

Huan Yin thought of the Xuanyuan Sword, and when the sword was slashed, everything around him seemed to become a false force. Then, he thought of the method of summoning spirits, and the sentence "All animals are false". The so-called "false" is false, right? Therefore, the method of summoning spirits can also be interpreted as "All animals are false".

These two mysterious things related to the ancient times are related to truth and falsehood. In this way, the sentence "If you get the Tao, you can know the truth and falsehood" is probably right.

If you continue to think in this direction, you will find that both the Xuanyuan Sword and the summoning spirits seem to have nothing to do with right and wrong, so "If you get the Tao, you can distinguish right and wrong" is probably wrong?

If this is true, then a new question arises. What is the difference between "truth" and "right and wrong"? Why does the true Tao only care about "truth" but not "right and wrong"?

Thinking of this, Huan Yin still had some conflicts in his heart, but they were much less. So, his struggle began to slow down, and his whole state gradually improved.

The changes in Huan Yin were quickly captured by the Dharma bodies around him. So, these Dharma bodies were moved again, and were surprised by the speed of Huan Yin's understanding.

Although Huan Yin had someone to remind him, his speed was still much faster than that of Dong Huang Tai Yi. Dong Huang Tai Yi discovered this secret, and he also calculated the time by years.

This time, Huan Yin thought about it for another ten days. After ten days, he really couldn't tell the difference between "true and false" and "right and wrong", and didn't know what Tao only cared about "true and false". So, he chose to give up temporarily.

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

On the surface, this sentence is problematic. So what about the deeper investigation?

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

"The Xuanyuan Sword gives people the feeling that only the sword is real, and everything else is fake, and the spirit said directly that the animal path is fake. If you think so, if everything in this world is really fake, then if you get the Tao, it seems that you really can't get anything. Because everything is fake, what can you get? And because everything is fake, after getting the Tao, you will find the truth and lose everything..." Thinking of this, Huan Yin's heart has been in turmoil. Denying everything in this world, the so-called "true Tao", is it just like this?

Too incredible speculation made Huan Yin's mind roar. However, he couldn't help but continue thinking: "If this is true, then the Tao knows the truth and falsehood, which means the first sentence is right. However, because everything is fake, the right and wrong in this world has lost its meaning. In this way, the sentence that the Tao distinguishes right and wrong... is not true!"

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

It was also at this moment, after Huan Yin had been sitting cross-legged for more than a month, that a thin line quietly emerged from the top of Huan Yin's fishing rod, which had always been deep in the water, and extended towards the lava sea below.

This thin line was not created by Huan Yin with the Tao, but was generated by itself. And this time, no matter how fierce the sea of ​​fire was, no matter how hot the lava was, the 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 has seen the Tao and can fish. In just over a month, he actually did it!" The Dharma body that spoke the most to Huan Yin was moved and spoke.

This Dharma body stared at Huan Yin intently, as if he saw a vague shadow on Huan Yin's body. This shadow also sat here and fished silently in the past. He was also conflicted, but he also insisted. The most important thing is that he is a genius with great talent and brilliance!

"Similar... too similar. Back then, he also persevered so hard and refused to give up. Back then, he was also so brilliant and quick to comprehend. Perhaps this young man can really succeed!" The Dharmakaya said to himself.
