Chapter 106: We agreed to discuss the Dao, but you finally realized the Dao? (Subscribe)
Taoist Riguang sat upright, without any joy in his heart. Instead, he felt a tremendous pressure.

His strategy of attacking the opponent's heart was based on the fact that his opponent did not dare to discuss the topic of "Zen Mind" with him, but now that Yang Ling agreed without hesitation, the pressure was on his side instead.

If it were someone else, he might have wondered if the other party was being mysterious, but the person sitting in front of him at this moment was a disciple of the Human Cult!
Therefore he didn't dare to take any chances.

He took a deep breath, looked at Yang Ling and said seriously: "It is a blessing to be able to discuss the wonders of Zen with fellow Taoists today."

After a simple opening statement, Taoist Sunlight's eyes became sharp, and he continued: "The Zen mind is invisible, but it can reflect everything; the Zen mind is like a mirror, but it can reflect one's true nature... What do you think of this 'heart mirror', Taoist friend?"

Hearing this, all the immortals and gods around suddenly looked confused and thoughtful.

Only the two Western sect disciples, Medicine Master and Moonlight, nodded slightly.

Yang Ling thought for a moment and said calmly: "The mirror of the heart is always clear and not stained by dust. The heart is like still water, and the mind follows the heart. When the heart is like a clear mirror, you can see your true nature.

But what if the mirror of the mind is obscured by false thoughts? "

Taoist Sunlight nodded slightly, his expression becoming more solemn.

After the test just now, he was already sure that the other party was definitely not trying to be mysterious, but really had some understanding of "Zen".

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to answer his question so easily and even ask a question in return.

Taoist Sunlight gently turned the rosary in his hand and said solemnly: "The mind is like a bright mirror, reflecting one's true nature. This is the foundation of Zen practice.

If false thoughts arise, we should use the method of 'meditation' to calm them and return to our original mind. Just like a bright mirror needs to be wiped from time to time, the Zen mind also needs meditation to assist it. "

After that, Taoist Sunlight also raised a question: "If the heart mirror is blocked, what should Taoist friend do?"

Yang Ling pondered for a moment, then smiled: "The Zen mind is originally formless, and so is the mirror. Everything is false, so how can it be covered up?"

"Since the Zen mind is formless, how can Taoist friends use this formless mind to deal with all things in the world?" Taoist Riguang asked.

Yang Ling's eyes gleamed, as if he had expected him to ask this question, and he said loudly: "Everything in the world is born from the mind. If the Zen mind is still, everything will stop. If the mind is still, how can there be any disturbance from everything?"

Taoist Riguang seemed to be stumped by this question and fell into long thought.

Yang Ling remained calm as usual, just looking at his opponent quietly.

Seeing this scene, Medicine Master and Moonlight, who were also disciples of the Western Religion, also became solemn. As disciples of the Western Religion saints, they naturally had a deep understanding of Zen.

However, they never imagined that Yang Ling, a disciple of this sect, actually had such a deep understanding of Zen. In some specific aspects, his insights were even more profound than theirs.

At this time, the several powerful men sitting at the top also nodded slightly, exchanged opinions with each other, and there was admiration in their eyes.

It was obvious that all these praises were directed at Yang Ling.

Seeing this, Fairy Bluebird nodded secretly in her heart and said through her soul: "Your Majesty is really as good as a god. Yang Ling is indeed prepared."

Queen Mother Xi smiled slightly, her eyes seemed to see through everything, and she responded calmly: "Even if he is prepared, he can teach his disciples to have such attainments in Zen by himself, which shows that he is very extraordinary.

You must never be disrespectful in front of him in the future!"

Fairy Bluebird said quickly, "Don't worry, Madam. We wouldn't dare to do that even if we had the courage!"

Below, Princess Longji was extremely excited and said in a voice transmission: "Look, aunt, this immortal from the Human Cult is really powerful! That Taoist Sunlight will most likely be defeated!"

"Not bad! He's really awesome!"

While Yunhua was responding to Longji, her heart was also filled with emotions. An indescribable joy and pride was swirling in her heart, but she was unable to show it.

At this time, Taoist Sunlight seemed to have figured something out and exclaimed, "You are indeed a master of Zen. I admire you deeply.

I cannot answer your question for now.

However, I also have a question that has been bothering me for a long time. If you can answer it, you will naturally win this debate.

What do fellow Taoists think? "

Hearing this, many immortals and gods frowned.

According to the customary rules, since Taoist Sunlight could not answer Yang Ling's question, he should have admitted defeat instead of questioning the other party.

However, Yang Ling said without hesitation: "Although I only know a little bit about Zen, we are sitting here to discuss the Dao and learn from each other, isn't it just to make further progress?

But if you have any questions, feel free to tell me." As soon as these words came out, the difference between the two was immediately clear.

The former refused to admit defeat and even tried to turn the tables by questioning his opponent; while the latter agreed without hesitation just to fulfill the apparent meaning of this discussion.

At this moment, in the eyes of many immortals and gods, Yang Ling has already won!

A glimmer of admiration flashed in the eyes of Queen Mother of the West.

She had a vague feeling that this disciple of the Human Religion School was probably of the same kind as her.

Taoist Sunlight's face became more solemn. He looked at Yang Ling and asked in a deep voice, "If your Zen mind is not moved, how can you respond to the world? If your Zen mind responds to the world, how can you not be moved?"

Yang Ling frowned slightly when he heard this.

If the difficulty of the previous questions was 6 points for him, then the difficulty of this question soared to 100 points.

It’s like when you are doing elementary school math problems, and suddenly you are given a difficult problem from the Mathematical Olympiad.

In fact, this question was also the one that the Western leader Jie Yin Saint used to test the Taoist priest Riguang not long ago, but he was unable to answer it.

Seeing that there was no hope of winning, he brought up this question, thinking that as long as Yang Ling couldn't answer it, he could turn the tables.

Yang Ling thought for a moment, his brows relaxed, and he slowly said: "The heart responds to the world but does not move, moves but is not stained, this is the Zen heart. The Zen heart is like a mirror, everything is reflected in it, but it is not stained or stagnant."

Taoist Sunlight's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he asked, "If the Zen mind is like a mirror, how do we face the devil in our hearts? If there is no devil in our hearts, why do we need a Zen mind?"

Yang Ling said calmly: "The devil in the heart is also an illusion of the heart. If the Zen heart is still, the devil will retreat. If the Zen heart is disturbed, the devil will arise from the heart.

The beauty of Zen is that the clear mirror is not a platform, there is no devil and no Zen. "

After saying that, he looked at the Taoist Sunlight and shouted in a deep voice: "Do you understand this?!"

The voice was like a bolt from the blue, a wake-up call that made Taoist Sunlight tremble violently. No one knew what he was thinking of, but he slowly closed his eyes and a natural and relaxed smile appeared on his face.

The next moment, a mysterious aura of Tao emanated from around him, and a golden circle lit up behind his head.

In the Western spiritual practice, it is the halo that represents wisdom.

At this moment, everyone present understood what had happened.

Taoist Riguang, he has attained enlightenment!
The Queen Mother of the West stood up suddenly, her face full of surprise.

The Kunlun Forum has been held many times, but no one has ever achieved such a sudden enlightenment on the spot and entered a deep state of enlightenment as the Taoist Master Riguang did.

It is difficult to attain enlightenment, let alone such a great enlightenment?
All of them require long periods of seclusion, focusing all one's energy on comprehending the great Dao, before one has a chance to enter this mysterious state of enlightenment.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Sunlight suddenly gained enlightenment and attained enlightenment just by listening to Yang Ling's answer to his question!
There are many coincidences.

The biggest reason was that this was the question that Taoist Riguang had been pondering for a long time without being able to answer. Now that Yang Ling had helped him find the answer, many of the questions in his mind were naturally solved.

There was a flash of surprise in the Queen Mother of the West's eyes, but also a hint of relief.

Undoubtedly, this scene will be sung by countless immortals and gods, and is destined to spread throughout the three realms in the future, directly raising the value of Kunlun's discussion of Taoism to a higher level.

All the immortals and gods present were shocked. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it.

Looking at the bright halo of wisdom behind Taoist Sunlight's head, many immortals and gods were filled with envy and praised Yang Ling for being worthy of being a disciple of the Human Sect. He was able to show the great truth in his words and deeds, and make people gain insights inadvertently. This was truly extraordinary.

Yang Ling had a strange look on his face. Even he himself had not expected such a situation to occur.

At this moment, he even wanted to reach out and wake up the Taoist priest of Sunlight. Just talk about the Tao, but how come you suddenly go and attain enlightenment?

Fortunately, Medicine Master and Moonlight, who were also disciples of the Western Religion, arrived at the scene in time. They knew that such a state of enlightenment was extremely precious and could not be disturbed in any way.

So the two of them carefully brought the Sunlight Taoist into a small world to ensure that his enlightenment process could proceed smoothly.

Afterwards, the two Western sect disciples bowed solemnly to Yang Ling, thanked him repeatedly, and said that they also had questions that had been bothering them for a long time and wanted to ask for advice.

Yang Ling: “…”

What? You guys also want to attain enlightenment, right?
Just think of good things!
