Chapter 1037 Putting the Carves Before the Horse

It took Huan Yin a full year to figure everything out. So, since Huan Yin came to the heaven, about four years have passed.

For Huan Yin, who has little time, it is naturally a very pessimistic thing to spend a long time in Donghuang Taiyi's world. But in fact, Huan Yin's speed is already terrifying.

Donghuang Taiyi achieved Huan Yin's current level in the past, and the time he spent was calculated as 100,000 years. Although Huan Yin has the experience and guidance of his predecessors, and the mutual confirmation of the descending spirit and the Xuanyuan Sword, his high level of understanding is really incredible.

The Tao is more clearly thought out, and Huan Yin knows that the next thing is only hard work. Continuously believe in the true Tao, continue to believe that the whole world is false, so that your belief in the true Tao becomes stronger and stronger, which is equivalent to making your true Tao cultivation continue to grow.

And Huan Yin knows that hard work means more time consumption. Huan Yin has been practicing for so long. Which Taoist method does not consume a lot of time to slowly promote and improve? What about practicing the true way?

Huan Yin just hopes that the level of the true way that can catch fish in the lava sea of ​​fire will not be too high. Because the higher the requirements, the more time will be consumed. And Huan Yin no longer has much time to consume.

Without too much hesitation, Huan Yin directly began to practice the true way. He knew that no matter what the requirements of lava fishing were, it was his only way out of this place, so hesitation would not help him.

Soon, Huan Yin began to introspect the world in his heart, and saw the vast starry sky and countless shining stars.

Then, Huan Yin began to empty his mind according to the method he had mastered before. Although everything felt a little familiar, it still took a lot of time.

Until the whole inner world was empty, Huan Yin had no thoughts in his heart. So, he finally saw those pictures again and saw the earth-shaking magical powers of those great gods.

Since Huan Yin had no thoughts in his mind when he was watching the pictures, he was like a newborn baby who had no idea what was fake and subconsciously regarded everything he saw as the most real thing.

Therefore, the various behaviors of the gods were constantly imprinted in Huan Yin's mind, which made Huan Yin's belief in the truth begin to grow rapidly.

This method of cultivation is the correct way to cultivate the truth. By abandoning all distracting thoughts and cultivating, the cultivator can quickly understand and deepen his impression without any doubt about the truth.

If Huan Yin can maintain the current state and continue to do it, perhaps he will be able to fully believe it in a short time and achieve enlightenment in one step!

However, this state cannot last forever. Not long after, those pictures suddenly disappeared, and the thoughts that originally remained in Huan Yin's mind reappeared and invaded Huan Yin's inner world again. Therefore, the truth that was just very real immediately began to become unreal because of the influence of Huan Yin's original thoughts. Huan Yin's original great confidence began to gradually collapse.

Until the complete belief when he was thinking about it turned into a little bit of disbelief in the end, Huan Yin smiled bitterly in his heart.

From complete belief to disbelief, it was like returning from a dream to reality. Huan Yin knew that he might have really believed it before, but that did not represent his achievement of the Tao. Because the requirement of the true Tao is not to believe it for a moment, but to regard the true Tao as the only Tao and the only truth no matter what state you are in.

In other words, Huan Yin's own state does not change at all. No matter when and where, there will be no mixed concepts in his heart. The true Tao is the only belief in his heart.

And only when you reach such a state, that is, you regard everything in the world as false and regard the true Tao as the only truth, the true Tao will be achieved.

"It's really a bit difficult." Huan Yin thought.

"It seems that the Dharmakaya predecessors all said that Donghuang Taiyi emptied his mind completely before he could realize the truth. This statement may not be correct. If he really emptied his mind completely and had no distracting thoughts, after entering the state just now, it would be like drawing a talisman on a blank paper. It would be much easier to accept it. In that case, why would Donghuang Taiyi need nearly a million years?"

"Donghuang Taiyi back then probably felt the same as me, thinking that the most difficult thing about practicing the True Dao is not to believe in the True Dao itself, but to deny everything in this world. After all, we are all living people. If there is no world, there will be no self. Then who would deny their own source? What is the difference between this behavior and betraying the teacher and destroying the ancestors, and deviating from the teachings?"

Thinking of this, Huan Yin also felt that his previous attempt was ultimately a complete failure. After the observation just now, because his mind was unable to communicate and understand the mystery of the True Dao, it ultimately did not work at all.

Helplessly, Huan Yin began to comprehend again. And this time, he tried to observe as before. Huan Yin thought that maybe as long as he watched it repeatedly and deepened his impression, slowly, his thoughts would be shaken, and then the truth would begin to improve.

So, in the following time, Huan Yin slowly entered a state of unremitting efforts. He constantly entered the state of emptiness of mind and observed the truth again and again. Even if he was forced to quit again and again, and failed again and again, he would not give up.

In this way, with Huan Yin's efforts, he watched it a hundred times, two hundred times, three hundred times...

Time passed with Huan Yin's efforts, and in the blink of an eye, three full years had passed. During the three years, Huan Yin determined that the cultivation of the true way was a hard work, so he never gave up.

However, as time went by, doubts continued to accumulate and grow in Huan Yin's heart. Moreover, every time Huan Yin watched, the doubts in his heart would increase. Even if Huan Yin was determined to work hard and wanted to put aside this doubt, it was useless.

And today, when three years have really passed, Huan Yin's doubts in his heart have finally accumulated to the limit and burst out, making him choose to temporarily give up his efforts for the first time and face the doubts in his heart.

Doubts have never changed: "Why do you want to deny everything in this world?"

This doubt actually arose when Huan Yin first came into contact with the true way. At that time, Huan Yin had not yet come to the remains of Donghuang Taiyi, and did not even know the method of descending spirits, but only had the Xuanyuan Sword.

As Huan Yin learned more and more about the true way, this problem gradually became more and more obvious. The contradiction between the true way and reality formed an unavoidable impact, forcing Huan Yin to face, think and question again and again.

Huan Yin had never figured out this problem, and he thought before that maybe he couldn't figure it out before he really understood the true way. So he decided to let himself try to understand the true way first.

However, in the past three years, every time he watched the picture of the true way, he would think about this problem after exiting. In this way, time and time again, he found that his repeated observations not only did not make his true way progress at all, but this problem made his heart more and more restless, and even hindered the practice of the true way.

Huan Yin found that if he didn't figure this problem out, he would not be able to make any progress on the road of the true way. Even if he kept working hard, it would be in vain in the end.

But what is the answer to this question?

To deny everything in this world, to Huan Yin, to put it bluntly, is to forget one's roots and to be heretical. To put it simply, when it comes to the most basic question, if you don't have your own body, where does your heart come from? And if you don't have a heart, where does your mind come from? Without a mind, how can you think, how can you discover the true way?

"The true way itself is an absurd paradox that puts the cart before the horse. Could it be that the so-called 'true way' is actually wrong?" Huan Yin couldn't stop himself from thinking like this. And he also knew very well that this way of thinking was the key to his mind not being able to flow smoothly, and it was also the fundamental reason why he had no gains in three years.

"Even if it is really wrong, but I just need to practice hard at the moment, so what? I don't want to repeatedly entangle in a problem that I can't figure out, but I can't help but entangle it, what should I do?"
