Chapter 399: Benevolence can be disguised, but loyalty is mostly false "ask." Seeing that Lin Che had changed her words, Xu Miaoyun smiled like a flower, and she immediately did not dare to be negligent, and her gestures were full of respect. "Dare to ask Mr. Lin." “Where is the Tao that people talk about?” Lin Che leaned lazily by the door and answered calmly:

“The avenue is everywhere.” "But this statement is too vague." Xu Miaoyun took a deep breath and sighed: "The little girl's ability is limited and she cannot understand the essence." "I hope Mr. Lin can give a specific place." Lin Che spread her hands out indifferently and answered fluently: "Then among the ants."

Hear this. Xu Miaoyun's face was full of undisguised doubts. In addition to being shocked, she was also surprised:

"Ah? Why are you in such a humble and insignificant place?" "That's a great road!" Lin Che smiled when he heard this and was not in a hurry to explain. Instead, he took the lead in making three chapters. "When I finish speaking, you can't ask any more questions whether you understand or not." "Well, I won't tell you again if you ask me." Seeing Lin Che's unquestionable look, Xu Miaoyun nodded extremely seriously and did not bargain any further. See this. The position is straight to the point:

"Tell me another little story." "Once upon a time, there was a man named 'Zhi' who traveled north to the shore of Xuanshui. He climbed to a hill called 'Yinhu', where he met the legendary 'Wu Zhu'." "The so-called 'knowledge' represents all living beings who want to explore the secrets of the great road... which is probably similar to your current state." "And 'It doesn't matter' is a person who gets it." Xu Miaoyun was extremely serious and cherished the hard-won opportunity. "So 'Zhi' asked, how should we think in order to understand the Tao?" “How can we act in accordance with the Tao?” “What can we learn to gain the Tao?” Lin Che spoke unhurriedly: "I didn't answer 'it doesn't matter' to several questions in a row. In fact, it's not that I don't want to answer, but that I don't know how to answer." "In this way, 'Zhi' left the hill again and climbed to a hill called 'Foxque'. Here he met the saint Kuangqu and asked the same three questions again." "After hearing this, Kuang Qu sighed helplessly and said that I knew how to answer, but when I was about to say it, I forgot what I wanted to say."

Xu Miaoyun's eyebrows were twitching and she was getting more and more confused, but she still didn't interrupt. She endured the confusion in her heart and continued to listen. "So, 'Zhi' came to Kunlun in despair, which is also the residence of Huangdi Xuanyuan. After meeting Huangdi, 'Zhi' asked the same question again..." After a pause, Lin Che suddenly said: "Huang Emperor said that one can understand the Tao without thinking, one can conform to the Tao without acting, and one can obtain the Tao without methods." "But obviously this statement is not the answer Zhi is looking for, so he asked Huangdi again: You and I know these truths, but we don't know about the legendary indifference and the madness of the so-called saint." "So who is right?" "Huang Di Hui, indifference is the true path to enlightenment, and Kuangqu is close to the path, but you and I have never understood the path." Hear this. Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but shake her head slightly, feeling that she couldn't keep up with Lin Che's thoughts, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Lin, what does Huangdi mean by this, and why?" Lin Che waved her hand lightly, telling the other party not to worry, but she didn't show off and told her bluntly: "Because the concept of Tao is so vast that it cannot be described from the beginning. Kuang Qu once tried to describe it, but when he was about to say it, he didn't know where to start." "So those who know don't tell, and those who tell don't know." "It sounds contradictory, but in fact it is not." Looking at the stunned girl, Lin Che smiled: "Just because a person can talk about morality, it doesn't mean he truly understands it. Just like a person who talks about morality doesn't mean he is a good person." "Benevolence can be disguised, loyalty is mostly false, and the etiquette constructed by the world is more like a group deception created by the upper class." "Therefore, when you see the monarchs of other countries, if they have lost the Tao, you should promote virtue; if they have lost virtue, you should promote benevolence; if they have lost benevolence, you should promote loyalty; if they have lost righteousness, they can only promote etiquette and rules. .” "Then they talked about rules and disguised them as avenues and became a tool for division and preparation, so class distinctions emerged." "This is the root of all trouble." This statement came out. Xu Miaoyun shuddered unconsciously, and her outlook was once again greatly impacted. Stunned and speechless. At the same time, I just realized that it is no wonder that Lin Che's teaching method has always been based on guidance and supplemented by preaching, rather than forced and violent indoctrination. The real Tao often contains the universe, heaven and earth. It cannot be summarized simply by using existing words and vocabulary, so the Tao can only be introduced in this way. Think about this. Xu Miaoyun's respect for Lin Che arose spontaneously, and at this moment, she was even more admired. "Sir, you are very kind. This little girl has learned a lesson. Thank you very much, sir, for your generous advice." Lin Che didn't care about this. The master led him in. Cultivation depends on oneself. Whether he can fully understand the profoundness depends on the other person's destiny. After all, there have been very few enlightened people throughout the ages.

"A person who has obtained it will have to clear up these pretense all day long, clearing it and clearing it again, so that he reaches the state of inaction." "Now that you are so concerned about external objects, how can you understand the concept of Tao?" Lin Che spread her hands and said easily:

"As a person, the pursuit and obsession of foreign objects cannot escape the word rights, but whether it is rights or interests, they are beyond the scope of life and death." "Can you understand what I say?" After Xu Miaoyun nodded, Lin Che continued: “So, let’s start with life and death, the biggest external thing. "Life is the beginning of death, and death is also the beginning of life. Who can know the boundary between them?" “If life and death belong to the same category, then why should we fear death?” "People like to gain but hate to lose, like magic but hate decay, but saints are used to treating decay as magic and transforming magic into decay." "In this way, the unity of all things is realized, transcending the limitations of life and death, good and bad, and transcending the limitations of opposition between external objects." "Be able to treat all things equally and be as unkind as Tao, so that you can understand the mystery of all things." Hear this. Xu Miaoyun was thoughtful and couldn't help but answered: "So... it doesn't matter what you get, because it is like the Great Dao, which has no distinction between all things, so it is impossible to describe the Dao at all?" "The reason why Kuangqu attained the Tao is that although he was in the secular world, he had forgotten the distinction between all things. So when he wanted to describe the Tao, he suddenly found that he didn't know where to start?" (End of this chapter)
