He has been dormant since before the creation of the world, watching in the chaos for eternity. He is invincible, but kind; he is supreme, but he prefers all living beings. Based on the tree of the avenue, he opens the way for sentient beings and lights up the hearts of lost beings. He is salvation, a loving father, and the untouchable supreme saint in the hearts of all living beings.

The credibility is: extremely high. [Appendix: Dao Zun's handwritten annotations] (This file was found in the wastebasket one day, with scrawled writing on it, suspected of being written while drunk) About the ontology: The tree is a tree, but it is not a tree of the avenue. It's just a sprouting sapling that doesn't take root in the mountains. Because it has no legs, it can't run. About heel and foot: Hunyuan Tai Chi? Avenue of Chaos? In his previous life, he was a social beast who stayed up late reading novels. About the equipment: The Taoist robe is made of tree branches, the sword is cut from the heart of the tree, and the green lotus is a potted plant grown at home. About the most ancient god: When the sky opened, I was trembling in my beads. I only looked out after Pangu fell. Which one is the oldest? About invincible kindness: Invincibility is because you live a long time, and kindness is because you are too lazy to do anything. About preferring sentient beings to open a way forward: ... What, I was just too bored, and threw out a few ideas to watch the fun. As for "opening the way forward", I was a bit of a talker at the time, so if I just said it casually, don't take it seriously. Finally: Whoever calls me "loving father" again, I will write him into the novel as a villain. ——Li Hongtu [Annotation by the archivist] Tao Zun's annotation, with humble words, is in line with the ancient saying that "great skill is like clumsiness, great wisdom is like foolishness". Our Association unanimously believes that this is the Taoist Master using his supreme supernatural power to cover up the secrets of heaven and deliberately reveal it to the mortal world, so as to prevent future generations of monks from being frustrated in their Taoism. The original judgment of the file is maintained and will not be withdrawn. [Reading Guide] If you want to know how this Taoist priest who "kept his feet in the crematorium, woven robes from leaves, and pointed the way with a mean mouth" later transformed the Great Desolate into his shape—— The text is in Volume 1: "Ancient Questions: Ask Your Heart" Warm reminder: Most of the contents of the archives are the conjectures of later generations.

——Compiled by later generations of monks, a copy of the Wanling Academy biography [Preface·The Sage's Lament] Before the Taoist Master attained enlightenment, all living beings in the wild followed the old path: killing three corpses and feeling unfeeling, thinking that this way they could approach the great road. Tao Zun sat alone on Buzhou Mountain, watching this scene, and sighed: "If the attainment of the Tao must kill the ordinary mind, where will the ordinary mind exist? If the eternal life must abandon the warmth, where will the warmth go?" I should try it with my own body and find a path for sentient beings." Then I used my supreme supernatural power to seal the Three Thousand Dao Principles, took away the Hunyuan Taoist robe, collected the Wuji Sword in my soul, transformed into a mortal body, and entered the world of mortals. Chapter 1: Descend to the Mortal Tao Zun descended into the wild wilderness, with no treasures, his cultivation level reduced to zero, wearing coarse linen clothes, and walking barefoot. Later generations of monks admired this section and called it "the journey to the mortal world". He said: Tao Zun is not unable to soar into the clouds, but he is actually unwilling to do so. Without experiencing the thorns on the soles of your feet, how can you know the difficulty of the journey for all living beings? If you don't taste the hunger and cold in your belly, how can you understand the suffering of all beings in their struggle for survival? Tao Zun uses the smallness of a mortal to measure the vastness of prehistoric times. Every step lays the foundation for the Dharma for future generations of sentient beings. Chapter 2·Observing Life Tao Zun was walking in the mountains and forests, and saw a young beast dying in the fox's mouth. The power of creation in his palm had been condensed, but he did not take action. The accompanying person asked: "Why not save it?" Tao Zun replied: "It is natural for fox beasts to prey on prey; the death of young animals is determined by fate. If I save them with my magical power, the fox beasts will surely die; saving one and killing one is not compassion, but a selfish thought. "My refusal to save people today is not indifferent. It is a way to respect the law of heaven and earth and observe the cycle of cause and effect. All living beings should understand: the way of heaven is ruthless, but there are also emotions; those who have feelings should not disturb the order of heaven." Later generations recorded this statement as "The Law of Life: Chapter on the Observation of Life." Chapter 3·Transformation into a Deer Tao Zun used his good offices to mediate creation, transformed into a deer, and entered the deep valley tribe. When later generations first heard about this, they were all confused: Why did the Lord of Hunyuan lower himself to a beast? Only after reading the remaining volumes can we understand its profound meaning. Tao Zun said: If you want to know the kindness of motherhood, the support of the young and the weak, and the warmth of the group, you can't get it without transforming into a deer. Looking at it from the perspective of a god is looking down; feeling it from the body of a deer is looking down at it. Look down to see the form, look down to see the heart. A mother deer loses its cub, following the breath of creation, protecting the way and respecting it under its belly. Hold the spiritual grass in the morning, push it for shade at noon, and cuddle up with body heat at night. Tao Zun accepted them one by one, inherited the way of "mother and child's family relationship" with his own body, and carved it into the origin. The mother religion classics of later generations often say "love is like a deer", and its origin is here. Chapter 4: Sacrifice for Love The black evil bear entered the valley, and the doe acted as a guardian and died under its claws. The Taoist Master stayed in front of the grave for three days and three nights without eating or moving. Later generations of monks initially thought that Tao Zun was here to "kill love and realize the Tao", and they suddenly realized ruthlessness. Only when we get the true biography will we realize our big mistake. Dao Zun did not cut off feelings, but took the pain of bereavement with his own body, experienced the calamity of separation, and found out the truth at the most painful place. Taoist caressing the remnant of the young deer, he realized: "The mother deer protects me, not for me, but for the continuation of 'birth'. Today I accept her tenderness, not trapped in separation, but to inherit her legacy and protect her descendants. Love is not there Trapped in separation, the Tao is not cut off from tenderness - this is my method of sentient beings. " After saying this, the Tao Master's creation energy circulated around his body, and the Hunyuan Taoist robe appeared on his mortal body. The three thousand Taoism revived from the soul, and the Wuji Sword condensed from nothingness. Tao Zun uses the sentient method to penetrate the way of heaven and the human heart, and restores the supreme true body. From then on, the ordinary heart is the Tao heart, and the Tao heart is the ordinary heart, and there is no barrier anymore. Chapter 5·Preaching the Dharma After Tao Zun returned to his true form, he did not establish a sect or issue any precepts, but only passed it down to ancient times with one word: "Have feelings without being trapped, have thoughts without attachment. Face life and death, without fear or separation. Follow your original heart and respond to external objects, keep your original intention and go through thousands of calamities. This is called the way of being with feelings." Later generations of monks organized it accordingly. Three volumes of "The Law of Sentiments": The first volume "Observing Life": Do not disturb the way of heaven, respect cause and effect The middle volume "Hua Deer": Incarnate all spirits and observe the human heart The second volume of "Sacrifice for Love": Bearing the Pain of Bereavement and Understanding the Circle of Life and Death Anyone who practices this method does not need to cut off all ordinary hearts and cut off tender feelings, and can achieve enlightenment in the world of mortals. Once this road is opened, all creatures in the wild will have an extra way to survive. [Postscript·Ode to Later Generations] There is a praise from Wanling Academy: Hunyuan is not heartless, he descends from the mortal world and becomes a living being. Measuring the world with bare feet, and thanking my mother for my mother's kindness with a deer's body. Not to save is not indifference, to observe life is to respect heaven. Sacrificing love for three days and nights, love will be perfected by itself. Those who practice this Tao in future generations should know that the Taoist is not a lofty saint, but a pioneer who goes deep into the world of mortals and explores the path for all spirits. Appendix·Collection of Fragments (The back of a certain piece of bluestone is engraved with scrawled writing, which has been verified to be Tao Zun's notes. The ink has faded) "After walking for two thousand years, my feet hurt. When the doe died, I cried for three days. I figured out later that she wanted me to live. It's that simple. There is no such thing as the Dharma. I just don't want to forget it." This fragment is not included in the canon of the Dharma, but is kept in the secret room of the Dharma Hall for future generations to read.
