Chapter 324 Is This the Discussion of the Dao? I Am Confused

Lu Pingxi wanted to discuss the Dao, and the elder also wanted to discuss the Dao. He said: "My arithmetic is insignificant. The Dao of the senior is like the light of the bright moon. I also want to ask the senior about the way of cultivation."

The elder gave Lu Pingxi the feeling of an ancient man. What he said was very polite, neither too humble nor arrogant.

Lu Pingxi was not used to this way of speaking. He thought the habit of respecting the strong in the fairy tower was very interesting. The weak naturally submitted to the strong. If they didn't like it, they would challenge the strong.

The elder's Confucian style was somewhat inconsistent with the basic tower atmosphere in the fairy tower.

But Lu Pingxi didn't care. He said, "If that's the case, let's discuss it. We can each hold our own opinions."

The elder said, "That's exactly what I meant. However, I want my students to sit in and take notes. Do you mind?"

Lu Pingxi glanced at the group of ant monsters behind the elder. They were excited. The elder and the elder were discussing. They would definitely benefit a lot just by sitting in.

Lu Pingxi said, "Nothing can be defeated."

The elder smiled and made way for him: "Then, please come to my residence. The earth-attributed spiritual energy here is rich and it is the best place to discuss the Dao."

Lu Pingxi walked over and asked casually, "I see that the golden spiritual energy in your ant kingdom is extremely violent. Why is that?"

The elder said, "It's like this. My ant kingdom is digging deep caves here, storing food, and building underground cities. The purpose is to recuperate here and strengthen soldiers. My task is to cultivate more powerful practitioners so that they can continue to move forward and open up the road for us."

Lu Pingxi understood that it was the ants who were working here, and they must have used magic to work, so the golden spiritual energy here was so rich.

Lu Pingxi and the elder walked into this residence with rich earth-attributed spiritual energy. It was a huge cave, but there was a thin river in the cave. The river divided the residence into two halves, just dividing yin and yang.

There was a cushion on each side of the stream. The elder came to the cushion on the left and sat cross-legged, while Lu Pingxi came to the cushion on the right and sat down.

Many ant tribe disciples formed a circle, and the little flower demon and Ran Bing also sat around.

An ant tribe disciple immediately took out a stone book, and then stretched out his tentacles to record this discussion on the book.

What is a discussion?

In fact, it is a kind of discussion, that is, I ask you a question, and you ask me a question, but if it is recorded in the style of the ant tribe, it should be like this:

The elder said: "I have read a lot of books since I was young, but I didn't know the principles in the books when I was young. Only after I experienced all kinds of things as an adult, and then I could understand the spirit of the book when I read it again. I want to ask the predecessors, how should this book be read? When should it be read? Should it be read?"

Three questions in a row, this is a discussion, you ask me and I answer, but it is not like a student asking a teacher, but the questions are accompanied by your own opinions.

Lu Pingxi spoke, and the ant tribe disciples immediately recorded it:

The senior said: "I think that when it comes to reading, you should read when you want to, and read whatever you want to read. Don't read for the sake of reading, and don't read because the book is famous. Reading what you don't want to read, you neither understand nor agree with it. You want to debate with the author, but the author of the famous book died a long time ago, and you can't find a dead person to debate with, so you can only look for other people's comments on the book. When you see praise, you will be dismissive, and when you see criticism, you will agree with it, thinking that you are superior to others and more powerful than the author."

The elder said: "Good."

The elder said that what Lu Pingxi said made sense, thinking that he had encountered this situation a long time ago. When he was young, he read "The Four Kingdoms" and didn't understand why the carnivorous country, the herbivorous country, the earth-eating country, and the fairy country in the four countries fought each other. At that time, he was dismissive of the book and thought that the book was just telling a false story.

At that time, after reading this story, it went around looking for fellow students who were studying at the same time to discuss the book. When it heard people praising the book, it disdained them and even refused to associate with them. When it heard people criticizing the book, it thought it had found a soulmate and became friends with them.

But when he was older and experienced some things, he realized how shallow and ignorant he was at that time.

This is the discussion of the Tao. Lu Pingxi fully understood the situation of the elder, and then gave an answer along with his topic, and this answer made the elder deeply agree.

Yes, it is really like this. You can only understand the words of the predecessors after experiencing these things!

The disciples did not understand the reason, but just recorded the conversation between the two, and even thought that the predecessors were refuting the elders, and the elders were refuted and could only be convinced in the end.

In fact, they did not understand the relationship between them, and did not understand that the elders had confirmed their own experience based on Lu Pingxi's words.

What is cultivation? This is cultivation.

Why is there a saying that young people do not practice alchemy, and old people do not practice boxing.

Old people are not suitable for practicing martial arts because their bodies are not strong enough.

Young people are not suitable for practicing because they have not had enough experience and do not understand these principles. So even if you preach to them, they will just look down on you.

Lu Pingxi and the elder were still discussing the Dao. This time, it was Lu Pingxi's turn to ask.

The disciples immediately began to record:

The senior said: "I heard that the origin of life originated from a little innate spiritual light, which was then shaped into a soul by the two energies of yin and yang, and then formed into a body by the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Therefore, in addition to this innate spiritual light, the soul and body of life all come from this world. Therefore, no matter what, life cannot escape this world. This is fate. What should come will come, and what should die will die. It's all fate."

The ant tribe disciples suddenly realized that this was the origin of life. It turned out that our souls all belonged to this world, only that little spiritual light did not belong to us. They suddenly realized.

The elder had already understood the reason. It was very clear that Lu Pingxi was saying that the composition of life is inseparable from yin and yang and the five elements. Therefore, if you understand yin and yang and the five elements, you can also understand the fate of life. So is the so-called arithmetic the same as this?

Lu Pingxi proposed his own arithmetic, and then wanted to ask the elder about his arithmetic.

The elder spoke, and the disciples immediately recorded it:

The elder said: "What I learned is 'Tian Yan Shen Suan', which is to calculate all things in the world based on the laws of the movement of the sky. Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

The elder meant that man imitates the earth, and the earth imitates the sky. Therefore, if you understand the laws of the sky, you can understand the laws of the sky, and if you understand the laws of the earth, you can understand the laws of man. His arithmetic is based on this principle.

Lu Pingxi understood, but a group of ant disciples were confused.
