Chapter 642: But with the original heart to the bright moon, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are always suitable
The man in gray robe threw out this topic, Wang Chongyang nodded slightly, and even A Fei, who had no concerns about the content of the debate, had a few calculations in his mind.
In the martial arts system, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Mo, etc. are all theoretical factions of cultivation. Nowadays, most of the martial arts in the martial arts world are Taoism or Buddhists. Some people claim to be able to gather the strengths of the two schools, but very few are great success, because the concepts of each school here are really conflicting, and practicing both will lead to conflicts in martial arts routines. Just like a monk who swept the floor, he only achieved the enlightenment of the Buddha through Taoism and finally achieved great success, but not both.
The man in gray robe said that learning martial arts with Taoism and entering Taoism with martial arts are two different ways of Taoist martial arts. One is to focus on the knowledge of a master, and then suddenly realize it at a certain moment, and all kinds of martial arts can be mastered at one point, thus reaching the peak of martial arts. The other is to start practicing hard at the beginning. When the martial arts practiced to a certain level, he suddenly gained the supreme principles of Taoism through martial arts, and thus his martial arts advanced to the realm of great success.
From what A Fei knows about the martial arts world, martial arts people often go through the latter way. After all, at the beginning, people do not follow any principles when practicing martial arts. When they finally practiced, they found that the truth was in one move and one move. This is the theory of realm. The broken void in Huang-type martial arts is actually a manifestation of glimpse of the supreme truth.
Wang Chongyang was silent for a while, and looked up and said, "Fellow Taoist, is the ultimate goal of using martial arts to enter the Tao and using martial arts to enter the Tao? Do you have the final goal of the same destination?"
Lin Chaoying nodded secretly after hearing Wang Chongyang's question. She already knew Wang Chongyang's idea. The man in gray robe thought for a while and said, "It is not the same destination. In the end, all Taoist knowledge and the principles of martial arts are understood. If the final destination is to be the same. If both are understood, then it can be regarded as the same destination. If someone's final purpose is to practice martial arts, and some people's final purpose is to practice Taoism, then it is not the same destination."
Wang Chongyang laughed and said, "My fellow Taoist's words are really cautious. Do you want to practice martial arts or practice Taoism?"
The man in gray robe smiled and said, "If you make a choice according to your words, you will fall into your trap. Let me ask you, should those Shaolin monks practice martial arts or chant Buddha's name? These two are indispensable, and the saying of "martial arts obstacles" by the sweeping monk back then makes a lot of sense."
Wang Chongyang nodded and said, "This is true. But if I had chosen now, I would choose to use martial arts to enter the Tao."
The man in gray robe was stunned for a moment and said, "This is not like you. You are the master of Chongyang Zhenren, the ancestor of Quanzhen Sect. If you say you are obsessed with martial arts, few people in this world would believe it."
Wang Chongyang said: "You are right. I mean, now, Wang Chongyang is here to choose, and I will choose the ultimate goal of practicing martial arts, not practicing Taoism."
"Do you have doubts about Taoism?" The man in gray robe was puzzled.
Wang Chongyang shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm confused. If I change it for another time, I might choose to practice Taoism."
The man in gray robe said, and chose to lower his head and ponder. He seemed to have learned something from Wang Chongyang's words.
These two people were so bright that they were full of lotus flowers, but A Fei was a little confused. As they spoke, they had already reached some philosophical and ideological and political levels. A Fei felt that the man in the gray robe said some truths, and also felt that Wang Chongyang said some truths, but the last two people's words were a little difficult to understand. It sounded very unhappy when he looked at the others squintedly and found that Lin Chaoying was also thinking about something, and his childhood sweetheart listened with relish. A Fei sighed, and could only understand that players were different from NPCs.
After a while, the man in gray robe said again: "The saying of fellow Taoists Chongyang is nothing more than that, and people's ideas are different at all times. However, the Taoist scriptures I read all emphasize a clear principle, which will not change. If it changes at all times, it will not be a truth."
Wang Chongyang frowned, and it was his turn to remain silent. A Fei also understood that truth is truth. Just like when he was studying physics and mathematics, there were always some axioms and formulas. If they were constantly changing, they were not axioms and formulas. However, the development of modern science is no longer about finding those unchanging axioms and formulas, but about finding eternal and unchanging relationships in changing things. The so-called "do not focus on cause and effect and relationships", which is also the theory of big data...
Ah Fei found that his thoughts were off topic and quickly moved the crooked building back. Just as Wang Chongyang was thinking, Lin Chaoying suddenly said: "Senior, there are countless people in Taoism who are looking for and exploring the truth you are talking about. In fact, no one can tell the truth. Have you discovered it?"
The man in gray robe sighed and said, "The Tao can be told, it is very Tao. Even if I have read so many books and collections of Da'an, I have not found an eternal truth. But isn't this the lifelong pursuit of Taoism?"
Lin Chaoying said: "Maybe not. Whether we practice martial arts or practice Taoism, we have a goal at the beginning, but as time changes, this goal continues to change. We are just looking for the principles we agree with in this process. There is a junior named Guo Jing, you know it too!"
"That's right, Guo Jing, the hero, has something to do with you and me, and I have always admired him!" said the man in gray robe.
Lin Chaoying smiled and said, "He is a model of my martial arts generation. I heard that when he was young, he practiced martial arts only because of a bet by his masters. He himself didn't know why he wanted to practice martial arts. Later, he came to the Central Plains, and his behavioral experience gradually changed. What he knew was to continue to practice martial arts and be able to win the qualifications of a Huashan sword contest. Later, his martial arts skills became higher, and he could even be said to be the world's number one in the martial arts world at that time, but he turned to seek national justice for the country and the people. Martial arts were just a way and means for him to realize his thoughts, and it was his help to defend Xiangyang and stop wars. Can the senior say that he had always believed in a concept?"
The man in gray robe said: "Of course, it won't. But his martial arts are not just about following Taoist philosophy."
"Yes, the martial arts of the hero Guo Jing are extremely mixed, so it is impossible to say that he is all Taoism. It's just his foundation, whether it is internal strength, the Nine Yin Scriptures, and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing, they all match the Taoist concepts. Taoism is a school of the same school, and in fact, it doesn't have to really learn those principles to be considered Taoism," Lin Chaoying said.
The man in gray robe smiled and said, "Your theory is sharp. Even so, I want to say that Guo Jing still has an eternal truth in his heart. He always pays attention to a clear conscience in his heart, whether he practices martial arts or guards Xiangyang. This truth has never changed from beginning to end. If this mind changes, then he is not Guo Jing."
Lin Chaoying was also suffocated and lowered his head to ponder. Wang Chongyang laughed apart and said, "The words of both of you make sense. I want to ask fellow Taoists, although you have not seen a truth, then have you been trying to find this truth over the years?"
The man in gray robe sighed: "When I was young, I studied and learned calligraphy. When I was in the officialdom, I was also confused. After reading so many Taoist scriptures, I seemed to have learned a lot of truths, but these truths did not become a system from beginning to end. Even afterwards, I realized various martial arts, but I was just passive and did not really want to learn martial arts. As my martial arts became higher, no one in the world was my opponent, but I became more and more confused. What was my life for? Should I learn martial arts, practice Taoism, live in seclusion in the wilderness, or hide in the court? The emperor has repeatedly recruited me to become an official again, but I have no idea. The reason why I debated with you these days was that I wanted to find what I wanted. In terms of martial arts cultivation, I can say that I am proud of anyone, but in terms of Taoist knowledge, you are a real person in Chongyang, and a master in Taoism, and you are better at this system."
Wang Chongyang waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this and said, "I'm even better at saying it, but what I said before is what I thought in my heart and what I had experienced in my life. At this time, what I firmly believe in is the truth, and at the next time, what I firmly believe in is another truth. No matter how the truth changes, the principles I firmly believe in are unchanged, just like the hero Guo Jing. Fellow Taoist, you are a fellow Taoist, and I am my predecessor in martial arts. What a brilliant legend in your life in the history of martial arts, it is because you have a firm idea of faith at every moment. There must be something unchanging to support the appearance of some ideas."
The man in gray robe said nothing, but just thought silently in his heart, but A Fei was even bigger. He felt that this debate was a course of ideological and political and philosophical science, and the more he listened, the more he couldn't sit still. Those three people were obviously great masters, so why didn't they use some short answer tricks to compete with each other? The reason for whoever wins is great. Isn't this an obvious thing? When he was thinking about it, the man in gray robe silently said: "The way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the shortcomings. I saw this sentence in my Tao Te Ching. Later, when I wrote this sentence in my own scriptures, I would also think that these damages of heaven may not necessarily be in the human being's own vitality, but in some principles?"
Wang Chongyang didn't answer, but A Fei jumped up and said in surprise: "Senior Demon, I know who you are! Huang Shang, it turns out that you are Huang Shang!" (To be continued)
