Chapter 566: Diamond Thoughts
"Human life is a practice."
"ah?"
"Being able to grow as a human being despite countless accidents is the true meaning of spiritual practice."
"Disciple didn't understand."
"Wang Lin, if one day someone tells you that the purpose of your practice is to get rid of your identity as a human being, then will your practice still be meaningful to you?"
"Master."
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road.
Wang Lin looked at the master in front of him who seemed to be floating like an immortal. He bit his lip and clenched his fingers into a fist before saying, "Master, shouldn't the purpose of our practice be to gain the power to change things that we don't want to face that happen in front of us?" , As for whether it will become something or whether it will still be a human being, this disciple is stupid and has not considered this."
Hearing this, Chen Zhixing looked at him for a while, then smiled.
Reaching out and patting Wang Lin on the shoulder, Chen Zhixing said leisurely:
"You are still young, so it is normal for you not to understand. When you have more experience and see the colorful world outside and the thousands of ethnic groups competing for their beauty, you may have a different experience then."
Wang Lin: "???"
He is still young?
In terms of age, Wang Lin is not much younger than Chen Zhixing, and with the years he spent in the little green bottle, he is much older than Chen Zhixing.
But Wang Lin knew that what Chen Zhixing said was that he was still young because he had little experience and had little exposure to things. Maybe one day he, Wang Lin, would have more experience and would have the same thoughts as his master now.
But now, at least for now, Wang Lin doesn't feel that he has any sense of belonging to the human race!
If he could gain enough power by switching ethnic groups, Wang Lin didn't think he would have any hesitation.
"Master is right. The disciple has experienced less things. From now on, the disciple will travel more directions and observe more things in the world along the way to broaden his horizons."
"Well, okay, it's good to have such a heart. You two are going to Huanyu, and there is nothing to tell you as a teacher. If you encounter difficulties, just ask your second junior brother to help you solve it. "
"Disciple knows."
"Well, go ahead."
As Wang Lin and Chen Moqing passed through the space rift connecting the Universal Realm, Chen Zhixing also withdrew his gaze from Wang Lin.
I feel that the child has really grown up and it is time to leave his shelter.
Although from beginning to end, he never laid his eyes on Chen Moqing for a moment, let alone said a word to him.
Inexplicably, a strange idea suddenly appeared in Chen Zhixing's mind.
‘Perhaps in the future my son will turn into one of those freaks who hates heaven, hates all living beings, and even hates his own father? ’
The thought flashed past, and then Chen Zhixing couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.
"For that child, my father is his background. He will not lack anything in his life, and naturally he will not have many regrets. He will be accompanied by his brothers, and he will also meet the person he likes in the future. , How can a life that can be achieved by one's own efforts have those messy thoughts? If it does come up, then I will kill him with my own hands. "
Are father's and mother's love essential for children?
Chen Zhixing didn't think so.
What children need is shelter and support. If the first two can be met, it makes no difference to the child whether it is provided by the parents.
Those who really need this kind of emotional filling are the children's parents.
They need this emotional sustenance to give themselves the motivation to live in this evil world.
In this respect, man is a very strange creature.
I would rather work hard all my life with no leisure than give up some false ideas.
Click.
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky and earth, accompanied by bursts of thunder, and spring rain fell from the sky.
At this moment, Chen Zhixing also felt something in his heart.
"I am fifty years old now."
Touching his face, which was still as white and tender as a boy, Chen Zhixing smiled.
"At thirty, I stand tall. At forty, I have no doubts. At fifty, I know my destiny. So, what is my destiny?"
The bright gaze penetrated the sky and interacted with the crape myrtle that stayed in the void. Then a large number of stars began to fall from the sky, making a blessing gesture toward the direction of the star palace.
After a while.
There was a sound of cheers and joy in the starry sky.
"Congratulations to Xingzun on his birthday!"
"I wish Xing Zun a long and prosperous life!!!"
"Congratulations to Xing Zun for his Dharma, I wish Xing Zun to achieve complete merits and accomplishments as soon as possible, break through the limitations, and become an immortal one day!"
"Happy birthday Xingzun!!!"
Well, the blessings given by a group of Star Palace disciples seemed strange.
Chen Zhixing felt like laughing when he heard this. After laughing for a moment, he felt lonely again.
At this moment, he began to feel that the Tianxuan world that was supposed to be familiar to him now seemed to have become unfamiliar.
what is interesting is.
At this moment, someone seemed to have guessed his thoughts and walked in from the door one after another.
"The young Taoist priest Chen Wanhong comes to see His Majesty Xingzun and wishes him a long life as long as the sky and a long life."
This living ancestor of the Chen family actually gave Chen Zhixing a Taoist gift.
Chen Zhixing: "."
Chen Zhixing, who felt that a black line had appeared on his forehead, was speechless and said: "Ancestor Wan Hong, what did you do to make this happen? Why did you think of coming to me to make fun of me when you didn't clean up at your place?"
"This is not like seeing you celebrating your birthday without anyone around you. It just so happens that the little Taoist remembered that he is also your elder, so he came to celebrate for you."
Chen Wanhong had a smile on his face.
When Chen Zhixing saw this, his face became even more helpless.
After serving Chen Wanhong some tea and snacks, he watched this living ancestor sit down opposite him, seemingly making fun of him, but in fact he was trying to relieve his worries.
"Everyone has such a day. Learn to adapt. Although it is still early for you, who asked you to abandon your family to the outside world."
"Ancestor, I'm really fine."
"Is everything okay? Haha!" Chen Wanhong laughed and pointed at Chen Zhixing: "Is there anything that I don't know yet? Do you know how I struggled when I first landed on Star Island, celebrating my 100th birthday, my 300th birthday, and my thousandth birthday? Did you come here? It’s because of the spirit that my relatives are still there, and as long as one day I can return to Dongxuan Jiangzhou and set foot on Ziwei Mountain again, I can still see them!”
"Then what? Now that all of your relatives, ancestor, have passed away, and today's Ziwei Mountain is no longer the same as the one where my predecessor once lived, what does your predecessor think?" Chen Zhixing made a gesture of listening.
"Nothing. Then, after learning about the death of my ancestor and my father, I placed my trust in the inheritance of the entire Ziwei Chen family. Although my ancestor, my father, and my relatives all died, their bloodline It still flows through you and other descendants of the Chen family, so I have to live. Only by living can I protect them from the wind and rain, and let the blood of my Chen family continue to pass on. "
"Senior, is this your way of placing your trust?"
"Of course."
"Is it easy to use?"
"Of course it is easy to use. If it is not easy to use, why do you think there are so many aristocratic families left in the world, and how can you see me today?"
Facing Chen Zhixing's inquiry, Chen Wanhong smiled.
"I think you must have discovered it. Most of the ghouls in this world come from the three holy places, and a few are loose cultivators overseas. As for the immortality realm where my family comes from, it is difficult to raise a ghoul among hundreds of people. The reason is because Therefore, everyone’s spirit has sustenance, and it will naturally become easier to retain humanity.”
"If you don't tell me, I really didn't notice it." Chen Zhixing blinked: "In this situation before, I thought it was because most of the immortals of the aristocratic families were taken away by the three holy places when they were three thousand years old. As a result, the corpse ghosts cannot come out. I didn’t expect this to be the real reason.”
"Ahem, there may be some reasons for this, but at least for our family, if you keep your humanity with the family, you will be fine until the age of three thousand years. Unlike those immortals born in the Holy Land, who are often more than a thousand to two thousand years old. He will lose all humanity and turn into a ghoul without even realizing it.”
When Chen Wanhong said this, he seemed a little embarrassed, but he quickly made up for it.
The truth is exactly what he said.
The inheritance of a sect requires talents, rules, and the inheritance of Tao and Dharma. Naturally, it is different from the blood and family ties of aristocratic families. This also makes it difficult or even impossible for those who are born in the Holy Land to live in the realm of immortality. Human nature rests on the sect's holy land. Even if you do it forcefully, most of the time you won't end up with a good result.
After all, your trust lies with the descendants of the bloodline. Even if a few evildoers appear in front of the descendants of the bloodline and bring disaster to you, you can only hold your nose and admit it because of the relationship between bloodlines.
But what if you are relying on the sect's inheritance in the mountain range, and a disciple and grandson of a senior brother who you once had no dealings with suddenly provokes a powerful enemy into the mountain. If you are implicated now, the powerful enemy will make you lose your soul?
Why?
What an injustice!
Not to mention outsiders, you yourself also want to kill that brat!
It sounds like nonsense.
But it is the real difficulty of the sect’s Immortality Realm that they cannot place their humanity on the sect. It makes people speechless, but it is also a reality that they have to face.
I have only heard of planning for our descendants, but have we ever heard of planning for our colleagues?
Even if there is a fearless saint who can bring peace to all generations, if this saint can live for tens of thousands of years, he will see that the world that was once changed for the better because of him has become even better in the hands of the people he helped. Bad, do you think this saint is willing to pinch his nose and admit that the reason why these descendants have turned the world for bad is entirely because of his sins, or is he willing to rectify the world and once again bring peace to future generations?
The former is blood, so the immortals can only recognize it by pinching their noses.
The latter is a sect, and the Immortal Lords will ruthlessly deal with the disciples who commit crimes!
Although for the world, the latter is obviously much better than the former, but for immortals to store their human nature, only the former is feasible, and the latter is simply impossible!
Even the most outstanding person in this way, the Master of the Five Elements, the Heavenly Sage, also turned into a corpse?
"So, according to the ancestor's wishes, do you plan to let me learn from you?"
After hearing what Chen Wanhong wanted to express, Chen Zhixing asked more interestedly.
"Of course!" Chen Wanhong nodded: "Even if you don't learn now, you should prepare early. According to your level, living for tens of thousands of years should not be a big problem, but how long can you maintain your humanity?"
Chen Wanhua didn't say the rest, because he found that this junior of his family had serious problems with his character. If he didn't use this method of bloodline sustenance, he might turn into a ghoul in less than a thousand years.
This is not to say that Chen Zhixing has a bad character.
Rather, it is said that Chen Zhixing is too smart and has seen everything clearly early on. Such intelligence and immortality are not suitable for maintaining human nature.
"I hope my ancestor can teach me."
Chen Zhixing himself is also aware of his own problems in this regard.
Seeing Chen Wanhua say this, he agreed.
Although he didn't intend to use it himself, it didn't stop him from taking a look at it. By looking at it in a different way, he might be able to find a new way.
That evening, the spring rain stopped.
Seeing that Chen Zhixing had obtained the essence of the bloodline storage method, Chen Wanhong stood up and left, leaving Chen Zhixing in the main hall to meditate on the spot.
This method of preserving bloodline is easy to say, but extremely difficult to say difficult.
At least for him, Chen Zhixing, this method is really difficult!
"Use all living beings in the world of mortals as a melting pot, cultivate a single thought in your heart, and once the thought is completed, it will be like the thought of a hundred-refined diamond, which can be immortal for thousands of years. It sounds good, but the disadvantage is that you will live for this thought for the rest of your life. It’s hard to have distracting thoughts, and don’t let this diamond thought be damaged in the slightest, otherwise once the thought is shattered, there will be no possibility of repairing it.”
After saying this, Chen Zhixing sighed helplessly, this path was not suitable for him.
"It is said to be the thought of Vajra, but in fact it is obsession. The so-called bloodline is just an obsession with the reproduction of the family's bloodline. This is a big proposition, and it is easier for people to accept, at least than other thoughts. It’s easy to accept. But it’s precisely because of this method of practicing the Vajra Mind that there are so many second-generation ancestors in this world who call on their ancestors for help.”
Inexplicably, Chen Zhixing thought of the novels and stories he had read in his previous life.
Thinking about it, only my ancestors have practiced this kind of Vajra Thought method, and preserved their own obsessions with their bloodline, can they breed those rebellious people who do not distinguish between good and evil. If not, they can be replaced by updates within the family. System, those second-generation villains have no chance to come forward, let alone call the ancestors to save them.
"This Vajra obsession is not suitable for me to use to store my humanity, but it seems to be quite suitable for my one-thought transformation?"
Thinking about this, there was a divine line between Chen Zhixing's eyebrows that shone brightly.
at the same time.
In the sky above the Tianxuan Realm, massive starlight began to gather around the Ziwei Dharma Form, and began to strengthen the many incarnations of spiritual thoughts stored in it by Chen Zhixing.
"Well, don't mention it. Although it can't be used to store humanity, it is quite effective when used to strengthen thoughts. This is the only effect."
Realizing that after strengthening the thoughts that made up the crape myrtle in the starry sky, the number of thoughts that he could separate was greatly reduced. Chen Zhixing was also a little emotional for a while.
"Sure enough, everything in the world has a price, and there are gains and losses. Quality and quantity cannot be taken into consideration at the same time. It seems that in addition to the need to use the enhanced Vajra Divine Mind at some key nodes in the future, other things will continue. Just use normal thoughts."
