The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 254: Human Fragrance Scroll

Princess Yuan carefully chewed over Xiao Jun's words.

"Brother Daoist is truly courageous and has great ambitions!" Princess Yuan said so after a while.

From a fellow Taoist, he was directly transformed into a brother Taoist. It was obvious that Yuan Fei was much older than Xiao Jun. Even in this body after her corpse transformation, she was still older than Xiao Jun.

But at this moment, Princess Yuan was willingly and submissively addressing Xiao Jun as "Brother Daoist".

There is no precedence in learning, and the master is the teacher!
This is the truth for scholars, but it is also the truth among practitioners.

This is not a title of brother in terms of age, but a title of a pioneer in terms of principles.

Suddenly, Princess Yuan burst out laughing and said to Xiao Jun, "Since Brother Dao has such a great ambition, then I would like to ask Brother Dao for advice on the profound principles of Daoism. Please don't refuse!"

There seemed to be a hint of cunning in his smile, like a fox that had succeeded.

Yuan Fei was a pure fox in her previous life, known as the Fragrant Fox King. At this moment, she showed a hint of the fox's cunning.

"You call me Taoist brother, are you trying to hold me back?" Xiao Jun pursed his lips and said, "How could I be held back? But since Princess Yuan asked me to teach her the Dao, I wouldn't refuse."

"Perhaps Princess Yuan also saw this, so she took advantage of the situation. After all, her own Taoist cultivation is the most important thing. She's quite clever!"

He calculated silently in his mind, then nodded and said to Concubine Yuan: "Anyone who seeks the Tao is my fellow Taoist! But it is not too much for you to call me Brother Dao now. I hope that there will be no obstacles on your path to the Tao, Concubine Yuan!"

"It's not really asking for advice, but if it's something I know and can share, I'll definitely not hold anything back. I'm simply sharing my understanding of this world!"

Princess Yuan nodded, lowered her head in thought, and said, "Where is the so-called true love?"

What Princess Yuan practiced was the "Human Fragrance Scroll", one of the supreme skills of the holy land Wenxiang Sect that swept the world in the late years of Daxin. During the peak period of Wenxiang Sect, all the heroes were inspired by the fragrance, which was also the basis for its sweeping the world.

The power of "Human Fragrance Scroll" is to arouse the emotions of others, rely on the fragrance to carry the truth, and arouse the emotions of others.

"So-called true feelings have no place; they arise and disappear in response to circumstances. They are natural to the heart."

"Like a clear mirror, with form comes color, without form reveals emptiness. Color and emptiness are one, and the mind understands all things, and that is true feeling!"

True love is rooted in reality and reason. Without the support of reality and the evolution of reason, true love is nothing but a castle in the air. With the support of reality, true love is as enduring as the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, and as long as the world ends.

Xiao Jun performed the "Dharma Sound of Preaching", and his own insights were accurately conveyed to Princess Yuan's mind without any misunderstanding. Moreover, the same sentence structure could have different interpretations, and one could draw inferences about other cases and convey profound meanings in a subtle way.

However, Princess Yuan seemed to be still confused by Xiao Jun's words, so she asked Xiao Jun again, "How can I get true love?"

"No illusions, no delusions, no stains, nothing to gain, nothing to seek..."

True love comes from sincerity. Sincerity cannot be indulged in delusion. Only by abandoning one's own delusion can one be qualified to talk about true love! If one is indulged in illusion, how can one be qualified to obtain true love?

Xiao Jun began to talk with Princess Yuan one by one, and Princess Yuan often questioned Xiao Jun's remarks. Xiao Jun's wisdom shone brightly, and he answered Princess Yuan's questions one by one.

At the same time, a chapter of Taoism gradually emerged in Xiao Jun's mind.

Xiao Jun used the various inquiries of Concubine Yuan to deduce the opposing principles from the questions, and then summarized them into a unified Taoist technique. He locked on the various thinking variables of Concubine Yuan and realized the Taoist technique that Concubine Yuan practiced.

"So that's how it is. The essence of 'The Fragrance of Humanity' is to inspire others' true feelings through the beauty of truth and the fragrance of virtue."

"True love comes from the human heart, who can resist it?"

Xiao Jun's soul was working silently in his heart, absorbing the principles of Yuan Fei's "Human Fragrance Scroll" and constantly deducing them with his own wisdom.

"So that's how it is. Truth and virtue inspire true feelings, but true feelings gain nothing."

'It is the path of cultivating the most profound emotions, the most natural instincts, and the most beautiful things in one's heart. However, when one reaches a higher level, it becomes very clear that it begins to connect with the principle of the Supreme Being who forgets emotions.'

'Once you truly reach the realm of true love, you reach a wondrous state where love is everywhere, yet you are not attached to anything.' 'Unmoved by the world, unburdened by love.'

Xiao Jun directly comprehended the true meaning of "The Human Fragrance Scroll", which is a truly grand avenue. After obtaining the true meaning of "The Human Fragrance Scroll", Xiao Jun suddenly understood one thing!

"It seems that the path of compassion of the Wenxiang Sect and the path of forgetfulness of emotions of the Taishang Dao complement each other."

'Because both parties have reached the highest realm, they all have the same pursuit.'

'The Supreme Being forgets emotions until the end, and realizes the emotions of the Tao. It seems that there are no emotions, but it encompasses all emotions.'

"The path of compassion of the Wenxiang sect, in the end, is also the realm of true love that is realized in the Tao. It embraces all emotions but seems to have no emotions, only pure sincerity!"

True love is the highest state of forgetfulness, and the highest state of forgetfulness is true love.

Xiao Jun understood this, but it was of little use. However, it was a mirror to confirm his own path and also an accumulation of his own experience!
He also understood one thing, that is, the original Meng Shenji was the Taoist companion of the Saint of the Wenxiang Sect.

Now it seems that both sides have ulterior motives and want to step on the other to take a step further. They are both Taoist companions and Taoist enemies!

If the Saint of Wenxiang Sect could break Meng Shenji's heart of supreme forgetfulness and realize the change from supreme forgetfulness to compassion, then the Saint of Wenxiang Sect would be able to reach the realm of true love from the realm of compassion, and thus take a further step forward on the path of Tao!
If Meng Shenji could learn from the teachings of the Saint of the Wenxiang Sect and comprehend true love, the best outcome would be to embrace all emotions and directly enter the realm of true supreme oblivion, where one's heart is pure and untainted.

This is a clash of ideas between the two sides, and the ideas of both sides can complement each other.

If the Saint of Wenxiang Sect wins, Meng Shenji's faith in Taoism will be broken and he will become a cripple!

If Meng Shenji won the battle of truth and directly achieved the state of Supreme Forgetfulness, then the Saint of the Wenxiang Sect was trapped in the deepest obsession, truly trapped in the deepest love, unable to sever it. She had no chance of further progress and reached the realm of true love, and was even more likely to fall into the madness of pursuing but not being able to obtain it!

Whoever wins or loses, the winner takes everything, and the loser loses all his wealth and life!

Xiao Jun was able to break through this barrier and learned a little secret of Meng Shenji's cultivation.

The thought that runs through all things, like an eternal river, begins to be comprehended.

"Meng Shenji chose to kill the Saint of the Wenxiang Sect in the end, which brought him one step closer to the path of enlightenment."

"It's very likely that the deepest emotions of both parties erupted during the killing. The Saint of the Wenxiang Sect experienced the pain of betrayal by her beloved and the deepest love erupted during the moment of life and death. Meng Shenji faced the pain of killing his beloved. All these factors made Meng Shenji kill him directly and enter a state of forgetfulness!"

'But the killing has gone too far.'

Xiao Jun is using his own wisdom to calculate. Although it is Xiao Jun's guess, Xiao Jun's guess is almost right!

Although this is a guess about Meng Shenji's past, it is definitely not simple gossip. Instead, through such a small detail, Xiao Jun has a grasp of Meng Shenji's principles and Taoist cultivation.

To see the leopard from the tube is like peeling off the silk of an onion. If you grasp the thread of Meng Shenji's cultivation, if you compete with Meng Shenji, you will be able to gain a slight advantage.

Based on what he had glimpsed, Xiao Jun began to shape a Taoist technique specifically targeting Meng Shenji!
……

In Qiuyue Temple, a scholar was in a side room, looking at the night scenery at the door.

"Mother, I will definitely make you famous!" The boy thought so. Although it was a winter night scene and the cold was biting, the boy still wore a thick coat to appreciate it and relax, and his mind was on other things.

"Hong Yi..." A melodious female voice echoed through the void, accompanied by an inscrutable echo. It seemed to ring in my ears, yet it also seemed to originate from the horizon.

The boy's heart skipped a beat, but his expression was serious and his demeanor was upright as he shouted, "Who? Who called my name?"

Looking at the empty surroundings, a female voice came from nowhere, which made the young man named Hong Yi think of many weird stories!
