How to defeat Haotian and how to be as powerful as you seemed to have nothing to do with each other.
But in Ning Que's eyes, cultivators had to be as powerful as the Headmaster to be qualified to go against Heaven and to explore those esoteric questions.
How did the Headmaster cultivate? This was definitely difficult to simply imitate or learn, but he could ask for guidance, just like his Youngest Martial Uncle back then. He could avoid some detours.
"Some people say that life is a form of cultivation. Although it sounds sour, it's the truth. The longer you live, the higher your cultivation will be. My cultivation talent is also very ordinary. It's just that I've lived a bit longer."
The Headmaster said, "How can you be as powerful as me? First, you have to learn to fight against time, one of the two most powerful rules of Haotian. You have to live as long as possible. The longer you live, the higher your state will be, and the longer you can live. It's an endless cycle. "
Ning Que said, "Teacher, what you said is as good as nothing."
The Headmaster said, "That's what I did, so that's all I can say."
Ning Que looked at the wrinkles on the Headmaster's face and asked, "Teacher … you are the most powerful person in the world. You can fly above the clouds and live forever. Strictly speaking, you are not an ordinary person, but even beyond the scope of human beings. You can be like the Drunkard and the Butcher, enjoying your time quietly and quietly. Why do you have to go against Heaven? For the human world? "
"First, we have to understand something. If the world is monotonous, limited and boring, then the longer you live, the more boring you will be. Only an infinite world can bring infinite joy. I have seen all the sceneries in the world and eaten all the delicacies in the world. My life in the world of Haotian is already boring, so I naturally want to break out of the sky and see other sceneries. This is what I said before. "
The Headmaster said, "Secondly, you said that I am beyond the scope of human beings and should not be in the mood to find a new paradise for the human world to satisfy their curiosity … Many years ago, I also wondered if I could still be considered a human. To confirm this, I did something."
"What was it?" Ning Que asked.
The Headmaster said, "I ate a mouthful of human flesh and found that it didn't taste good. To be more precise, I was disgusted. I kept vomiting, and even vomited out the water in my stomach."
Ning Que lowered his head and said, "Human flesh does not taste good, but what does it have to do with your doubts?"
The Headmaster said, "The old yellow bull likes to eat peony fish, and the Big Black Horse likes to eat mutton, but the old yellow bull never eats beef. I believe the Big Black Horse will not eat horse meat either, because the old yellow bull is a bull, and the Big Black Horse is a horse. I am interested in all kinds of meat in the world, except for human meat, because I am a human."
It was a simple but illogical statement. However, it was filled with the power of intuition and could not be questioned.
The Headmaster continued, "Since I'm still a human, living in the human world, of course I have to be a human. Many people in Haotian Taoism are different. They think that they are the people of Haotian. They will only stay in the human world for a short time and will eventually return to the embrace of Haotian. Therefore, they walk the Way of Heaven. This is the difference between me and them. "
At this time, the black horse carriage had already arrived at the Academy. Among the green meadow, heat-resistant flowers were in full bloom. The scenery looked very beautiful, and one could vaguely see the back of the mountain in the fog.
The Headmaster did not intend to return to the back of the mountain of the Academy. He let the Big Black Horse continue forward.
Ning Que heaved a sigh of relief and laughed happily.
The Headmaster glanced at him and asked, "What are you so happy about?"
Ning Que waved his hand and did not explain.
He was happy because the Headmaster did not return to the Academy. If he did not return to the Academy, he would not bid farewell to the disciples in the back of the mountain. This also meant that the thing that he was most worried about would not happen.
The black horse carriage went all the way to the north.
The conversation between Ning Que and the Headmaster continued.
"You are already so powerful, why can't you defeat Haotian?"
"As I said, this is the world of Haotian. It is the rule of the world. Cultivators who can surpass the Five States can have their own rules, but those rules are always under the original rules of the world."
The Headmaster said, "In this world, every flower, grass, tree, wood, smile, and thought are all under its gaze. Even cause and effect cannot escape its calculation. For example, Lotus thinks that he can jump out of the Three Realms, but in fact, he has always been in this mountain. "
At this point, the Headmaster glanced at Ning Que's waist and then at Sangsang. He said, "As for me, even though I can ignore the rules of Haotian and be unrestrained, I cannot transcend the cause and effect that Buddha once said. Cause and effect is the order of things, and the order of things is time. Time represents everything."
"In this world, Haotian knows everything, so it is omnipotent. It can calculate and arrange everything, but we cannot predict and avoid it in advance. This is the so-called unpredictable and inviolable Heaven's will."
Ning Que asked, "Since Haotian is omnipotent, why can't it kill you?"
"Of course it has tried. Thunder and lightning, torrential rain, and the roaring sea. I have seen more wrath of Heaven in my life than all cultivators combined."
The Headmaster said, "But I run fast."
After saying this, the Headmaster waved his sleeves, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth around the black horse carriage changed slightly.
Ning Que's senses were extremely sharp. Now that he had entered the Knowing destiny State, even the slightest change in the Qi of Heaven and Earth could not escape his senses. He instantly sensed that the Qi of Heaven and Earth was divided into many layers, and there was a very faint and smooth space between two layers.
"The human world is covered by the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and it has its own layers. Perhaps because this world is distorted, there are some distorted passages in the layers of the Qi, which can allow people to travel thousands of miles away in an instant. "
The Headmaster said.
Ning Que said, "This is the Limitless State?"
The Headmaster said, "Yes. If you enter the Limitless State, it will be more difficult for Haotian to kill you. The problem is that you can't always escape, or you will die of exhaustion. So you have to think of other ways."
"I have said that I have no other strengths except for living longer. But because I have lived long enough, my state is getting higher and higher, so high that I can't learn from it. I can only explore by myself. Fortunately, I have found some ways to make it harder for Haotian to find me."
"I gave up this body and didn't jump out of the Three Realms. I went straight to the human world and integrated myself with it. If Haotian wants to kill me, it will destroy the world. But it is the rule of the world. If the world doesn't exist, it will be destroyed. So it can only find me and invite me to fight in Heaven."
"This is a very dangerous method, because as long as it finds a part of me, it will be able to find me. However, this is also the safest method, because I am everywhere. As long as my body does not appear, it will never be able to find me."
Ning Que thought for a long time and then said, "Although I still don't understand, I feel that it is very powerful."
…
…
The black horse carriage came to the bank of the Sishui River.
The willows were green, and the houses on the other side were quite new.
Ning Que and Sangsang sat beside the Headmaster, enjoying the scenery and resting under the shade of the willows.
The story of Haotian and the Headmaster was finished, but there was a very important character that was never mentioned.
Ning Que asked, "What kind of existence is Yama?"
The Headmaster said, "There is no Yama."
Ning Que was stunned. He turned to the Headmaster and repeated, "There is no Yama?"
The Headmaster said, "I have been to many places and seen many sceneries, but I have never seen the Underworld. Since there is no Underworld, there is no Yama."
Ning Que's mind was a little confused. He said, "How can there be no Yama? Isn't the Underworld going to invade the human world? The Light of Buddha Array in the Lanke Temple and the many celestial artifacts left by Buddha were to deal with Yama. "
The Headmaster said, "Buddha wanted to suppress Yama. In this sense, his response before Nirvana was indeed reasonable. But in the end, he didn't know who Yama was."
Ning Que was more and more confused. He pointed to Sangsang who was picking willow branches to weave trinkets and said, "She is the daughter of Yama. If there is no Yama, how can she exist?"
The Headmaster turned to him and said with a smile, "Silly boy, it has come to this. Do you really not understand, or do you not want to think in that direction?"
The Headmaster's smile was very gentle, and the expression in his eyes was very calm. But Ning Que's heart suddenly tightened. His eyelids began to twitch, and his legs became as soft as willow branches, as if they were going to collapse.
Countless drops of sweat gushed out from every part of his body like starch, instantly drenching his black Academy uniform. The Great Spirit in his body showed signs of collapsing because of the extreme emotional tension.
Ning Que felt that his mouth was dry. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.
The Headmaster looked at Sangsang, who was weaving willow branches, and rubbed her head. He said, "Don't forget, before she became the daughter of Yama, who was chased by the human world, she was the daughter of light."
Sangsang looked up at the Headmaster, not understanding what he was saying.
"In fact, she has always been the daughter of light."
The Headmaster patted Ning Que's shoulder and said calmly, "In other words, she is the daughter of Haotian. She is the incarnation of Haotian. You can even think of her as Haotian."
Sangsang understood this sentence, but she couldn't understand it. She felt inexplicably uneasy, and her little face suddenly became extremely pale, even whiter than the cosmetics on her face from Chenjinji Cosmetics Store.
Ning Que's face was paler than hers. At this time, he could finally speak, and his voice was particularly hoarse and trembling, "But they all say that she is the daughter of Yama."
The Headmaster said, "I have said many times that there is no Underworld, and naturally there is no Yama. If there is, then it is just like what Buddha thought, then Haotian is Yama."
Ning Que lowered his head, buried it between his knees, and said, "This, this doesn't make sense."
"This is the simplest truth, and even a child who just entered the school can understand it. In fact, I should have understood it long ago, but the truth is too simple. "
"Absolute light is absolute darkness …"
The Headmaster's gaze fell on the clear blue sky through the willow branches, and he praised, "The Great Way is the simplest."
