"If a layman understands his own heart, then there will be no doubts in this regard." Wang Chongyang affirmed again: "This point in Buddhist or Taoist doctrines refers to inner confusion, which belongs to the Taoist mind. As long as the layman can clearly understand the problem of dust, there will be no problem."

"In this regard, Taoism emphasizes breaking through tribulations by joining the world. If laypeople want a clear method, they can read the Buddhist Diamond Sutra, the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, or the Confucian Filial Piety Sutra and the Virtue Sutra."

"Zen Buddhism indeed points directly to the theory of mind and nature, and I believe that lay people can find the answer from it. Confucianism, on the other hand, plans itself based on the moral rules of the sages and sages. It must be self-denial and etiquette. As time goes by, as a layman, there is no need to write down on the backrest. When the classics regulate oneself, it will naturally be successful.”

"But my current problem does not lie in my heart?" Ouyang Ke nodded first and then shook his head and said: "Desire comes from the heart and body. I think that there is no problem in my heart, and I have always I know what my goal is and I am working towards it, so I am not confused, but now my desire for my body is out of control."

Buddhist teachings talk about emptiness, regarding one's own heart as everything, and believe that everything in the world is emptiness. Only the inner cognition is real. I am still far from reaching the state where I regard the influence of the physical body as nothingness!Moreover, this idea also goes against my own understanding of the Tao. I do not think that the human body is nothing compared to the spiritual will. Therefore, in the Buddhist scriptures, only thoughts such as the firm nature and the eternal Vajra Zen state are of some help to me. beneficial.

And Confucian classics are even more unsuitable for me. Even though Confucianism has gone through more than a thousand years and I have commented on the Six Classics many times, the general ideological outline of benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust has never changed, whether it is Whether it is true philosophy or false theories taken out of context, they are both in a position of dedication.

He is teaching people to dedicate themselves to society and to benefit the world as their ultimate ideal.It's just that the ancients were ignorant. In order to better serve the public, the object of self-sacrifice can only be the emperor who holds the absolute power of the country.

But since I started practicing martial arts and practicing self-cultivation, I have done it for selfish reasons. I am asked to help others based on my mood. Therefore, it is good to read part of Confucianism about self-cultivation, and the other parts are not suitable for me.

"Uh." After hearing what Ouyang Ke said, Wang Chongyang looked at Ouyang Ke in surprise.

Because although Ouyang Ke's remarks about Buddhism and Confucianism were just crude remarks, they were in line with his concept of the unity of the three religions of Quanzhen Sect.

Even Wang Chongyang himself believes that all the ideas of the three religions have merit, but this does not mean that all thinkers of the three religions need to learn from them. After all, the three religions are all major sects that have been around for thousands of years, and basically everything in the world has their merits. Those who can study it have already dabbled in it, so no mortal can really learn everything about a certain sect.

A person who can truly integrate most of the mainstream thoughts and knowledge of a sect is already a rare ideological master for hundreds of years.

Therefore, Wang Chongyang started from his own perspective and believed that the real way of learning should be to first have a preliminary understanding of the core concepts of the Three Religions, and then select the one that suits him best as his major thought, and then learn from the other two schools of thought. It is best to absorb the relevant classics that fit your heart.

In this way, based on the foundation of the Three Teachings themselves, a person only needs to study three or five Sutras seriously, which is equivalent to learning most of the knowledge books in the world that are most in line with the practitioner's own mind.

Therefore, the Quanzhen Sect teaches its disciples to first read the classic books of the three religions, and then let them choose the concepts that suit their mind and nature and then read them in depth.

At this moment, Wang Chongyang was a little moved.

You must know that in today's Quanzhen Religion, except for himself, no one else really has a clear Quanzhen Religion philosophy.

Not to mention his junior disciple who has always been innocent, even his seven disciples actually only worshiped under his disciple Wang Chongyang for other reasons. The most caring eldest disciple, Ma Yu, was only obsessed with him because of It's just dormant in his Taoism.

Therefore, Wang Chongyang was lonely before. As the founder of a lonely sect, he did not have a fellow Taoist who shared the same philosophy.

However, now he saw the seeds of the Quanzhen Sect's core ideas in Ouyang Ke.A questioning mind that understands the greatness of the Three Religions’ thoughts but does not blindly believe in them.

"But judging from the fact that he has a good level of internal strength, he can be considered a hero in the Central Plains, let alone the Western Regions. I'm afraid his family background is not simple, so let's solve his problem first and test it out! Although it's not He may be accepted as a disciple, but like Botong, if he accepts a disciple on his behalf, there should still be hope for him to become my junior disciple." Wang Chongyang thought with a sudden change in his heart.

Then he began to think about Ouyang Ke's problem.

It's just that before today, he had heard of people who lost control of their desires and lost their will, but he had never heard of people who lost control of their bodies, unless it was caused by taking some kind of medicine.Therefore, Wang Chongyang also felt a little difficult for a while.

But the next moment, when he looked at Ouyang Ke's huge and somewhat abnormal body shape, Wang Chongyang's eyes lit up, and then he asked tentatively: "Is this caused by any special reason?"

"Yes." Seeing Wang Chongyang frowning at first, and then immediately noticing his body shape, Ouyang Ke nodded and said: "I have practiced a unique skill, which has a great impact on my body, because I am the first I am a cultivator, so if there are some other problems that I can only solve by myself."

"A month ago, when I was practicing at home, my desire suddenly surged. Although my consciousness was clear, it was difficult to control the desire that kept coming up in my body. This made me a little overwhelmed, so I could only seek Buddhist and Taoist classics. Let’s see if that solves my problem.”

"After all, the Buddhist theory of mind and the Taoist theory of the unity of heaven and man, Taoism is naturally a very profound spiritual realm."

"Although I think there is no problem with the mind and will, it is common sense that a higher state of mind can better control oneself."

"This." Wang Chongyang fell silent after hearing Ouyang Ke admit that the problem was caused by practicing some kind of magical skills. At the same time, he also understood why the former abbot of Shaolin just let Ouyang Ke study the Buddhist scriptures by himself. without any other guidance.

It is really because issues involving martial arts skills are a more secretive privacy for Jianghu people than the privacy issues between men and women. Even between husbands and wives and brothers, it is not tolerated.

Anyone who inquires casually, let alone an outsider, will become a mortal enemy if they are accidentally misunderstood.

However, if you don’t understand the problems caused by practicing martial arts, how can you talk about the problems?

After a long time, Wang Chongyang, who was frowning, raised his head and said: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, I'm afraid the layman will be disappointed. I don't have any other way to help the layman. I just asked the layman to slow down his practice first and wait until he has read through the classics of the various schools of thought. Only try after you have clearly understood a higher state of mind.”

"Isn't there nothing that Master Chongyang can do?" Ouyang Ke said in a deep voice after hearing Wang Chongyang's excuse.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord, please forgive me for being rude." Wang Chongyang first apologized and then said: "The layman's problem stems from his own martial arts problems. To put it lightly, it means that something went wrong in his practice. It needs to be corrected. To put it harshly, It is a sign of obsession, and the problems encountered by lay people are not caused by problems with the inner Qi and meridians of most people, so it is useless for you to ask other people."

"After all, they have never practiced the layman's miraculous skills, and they don't understand the secrets of the layman's miraculous skills. How can they solve the problems of the layman that they are unlikely to encounter in their lives!"

"This." Ouyang Ke was stunned when he heard Wang Chongyang's words. He had only thought that Wang Chongyang could not solve his problem, but he did not expect that the reason was this.

To be honest, although Ouyang Ke has always been concerned about collecting those unique unique skills, what he really values ​​​​is only the knowledge and enlightenment of luck and human martial arts contained in them. After obtaining those unique skills, he himself I don’t take things too seriously.

For Ouyang Ke, as long as the conditions are met for the first time, the luck will not be lost due to subsequent changes, so even if the secret book is passed on, it will be passed on, and it is not a big deal.

It was precisely this ideological loophole that made Ouyang Kecai not think of turning his leader into a

Bring out your magic skills and ask for advice.

After all, it is also my own hard work. Although I don’t mind spreading it to other people, it is not for the purpose of teaching disciples or any other purpose. Of course, there is no need to rush to give it away if I can take it.

Therefore, after hearing Wang Chongyang's words, Ouyang Ke was just slightly surprised and then said: "Since I don't know, can I tell Master Chongyang about this skill soon?"

"Can a real person study it himself?"

"Ah!" This time it was the turn of Wang Chongyang in front of him and Zhou Botong beside him to be dumbfounded. Although the two regarded themselves as Taoist priests and rarely interfered with the affairs of the world, they also knew the rule of not spreading the secret knowledge they had mastered. of.

In the world of martial arts, it is rare for even life-and-death friends to exchange martial arts secrets with each other. Everyone is not an admirable person with a broad mind.

But no matter how open-minded a person is, he cannot be as casual and careless as Ouyang Ke when he wants to pass on his martial arts secrets.

After all, that is equivalent to telling the other person your most fatal weakness at the same time. How can you be careless in matters of life and death?

"Well, he is so open-minded and he agreed directly. How can I invite him to join the Quanzhen Sect in exchange for martial arts!" Wang said that Ouyang Ke was willing to hand over his martial arts decision without hesitation. Chongyang thought with a sigh in his heart.

"There are people who are so easy to talk to in the world. It really makes me, Zhou Botong, very impressed! If there were people like this in the world, how beautiful the world would be!" After hearing Ouyang Ke's words, Wang Chongyang was still feeling regretful in his heart. , Zhou Botong, who originally disliked Ouyang Ke, immediately looked at Ouyang Ke in a different light.

The reason is because of some unpleasant experiences. As an old naughty boy who regards martial arts as the most fun thing in the world, every time Zhou Botong sees others using some martial arts that he doesn't know, he will probably think on the spot. The method is to pester the other party to teach him.

But the result was predictable. Except for Wang Chongyang, no one would teach him the martial arts he practiced. Ouyang Ke was the first person he had ever seen who made a martial arts secret manual that taught him to practice without hesitation. The person who gives it away.

For Zhou Botong, who had been rejected countless times, this was simply a miracle in life!

At the same time, Zhou Botong secretly made a determination in his heart that he would try his best to have others teach him the martial arts he wanted to learn in the future.

"Anyway, it's just a waste of time. Maybe we'll meet someone like this Ouyang Ke!" Zhou Botong thought in his heart.

"This martial arts is the key point of the layman. The layman handed it over to Pindao so easily. Pindao is really ashamed and dare not accept it." Wang Chongyang said in a deep voice.

"Master Chongyang wants to help me solve my doubts. Naturally, I need to understand the problem of my practice. If I don't study Kui Shen Gong, how can I solve the problem for me? Master Chongyang, please don't refuse." Ouyang Ke said with an arched hand.

"But this matter is suspected of trying to take away the martial arts skills of the lay people. Although you and I don't care, it is harmful to the reputation of the Quanzhen Sect. I really can't let the disciples bear the legacy of the poor Tao in the future. That's my question." Wang Chongyang refused again.

"Well, senior brother, isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?" Zhou Botong, who had just developed a good impression of Ouyang Ke, said, "You can't just watch something happen to this layman Ouyang and not save him!"

"Well, if that's the case, that poor Taoist has a proposal that has the best of both worlds. I wonder if layman Ouyang is willing to agree?" After hearing Zhou Botong's words, Wang Chongyang secretly gave him a thumbs up in his heart and said immediately: " What I just heard from the layman about the thoughts and ideas of the three religions is somewhat in line with my thoughts on the unity of the three religions of the Quanzhen Sect."

"Pindao would like to ask the layman if he is willing to accept Pindao's master as his master, let Pindao take over his apprenticeship, and become Pindao's younger brother!"

"Um, I wonder if the master of Master Chongyang is that master!" Ouyang Ke did not immediately refute, but asked curiously first.

"I'd like to forgive you, layman. I am a Taoist who became a monk on my own. Strictly speaking, I don't have a direct master. It's just because I read the Scorpion Classics in my early years and then received some inheritance from the Chunyang sect of Taoism. With today's achievements." Wang Chongyang said calmly and with pride: "So lay people don't need to have any burdens and questions. If you become a disciple, strictly speaking, only senior brother Pindao and junior brother Botong next to him are the ones. A living person who is older than a layman."
