Taoist priests are above, monsters are below

Spirit Snake Palace, guest room.

Master Ziyun was in samadhi, guarded by his second disciple Sun Yufei, and the youngest disciple Wei Xuexuan was sitting at the table drinking water boredly.When Wei Xuexuan drank the eighth cup of tea, she finally couldn't stand it any longer. She couldn't calm down. What happened in recent days was spinning in her mind, but she couldn't see what was right or what was wrong. is wrong.She is already confused.The senior brother is entangled with the goblin, and will even give birth to a child soon. The former third senior brother was in love with a murderous demon head, and her master agreed to stay in the demon world and cooperate with the demon king to fight against the Western Buddhist world. .After all, she entered Penglai Fairy Mountain and Ziyun Palace, where did she enter?Is it a good place, or a bad place?Is what Master did right?As a righteous person, shouldn't it be his duty to slay demons and demons?Why such kindness and mercy to all goblins, even though they have been wicked?

Wei Xuexuan didn't understand, she couldn't understand Master's actions.

"Xuan'er, do you have something to say?" Master Ziyun asked.

He was affected by Wei Xuexuan's turmoil, so he stopped being in samadhi, and it was time to clear up the doubts of his disciples.

"Master, my disciple's heart is very chaotic, I don't know what I'm doing?" Wei Xuexuan said, full of doubts, yes, for a girl who has just turned her head and has only been in the Tao for five years, the recent things are really too much. Too much, too messy, too complicated.

"Just ask me a question, and I will answer for you as a teacher?" Master Ziyun said.

"Master, Eldest Senior Brother has no intention of cultivating Taoism, and hangs around the snake monster all day, don't you care?" Wei Xuexuan said.

Li Yun is not only a different person now, he is simply crazy.Although he greeted Master Ziyun every morning as usual, he spent the rest of the time by Hong Lin's side, keeping his head down and being a small boy.If things go on like this, isn't his great talent going to be wasted?

"Could it be that Master is just watching Eldest Brother's journey to immortality come to an end?" Wei Xuexuan said.

"Yufei, what's your opinion on this matter?" Master Ziyun asked.

"Yes, Master," Sun Yufei said, "I think the elder brother is just a little excited because he became a husband for the first time. It will be fine after a while. How can a mortal man know that he is going to marry a wife and have children? There are also such."

"Xuan'er, do you understand?" Master Ziyun asked.

"What about cultivation?" Wei Xuexuan asked.

Ever since she cut off her thoughts on strict law, she has devoted all her attention to the matter of asking questions, so when she saw that her former role model Li Yun was not doing a proper job, she would have doubts in her heart.

"Xuan'er, you've been too impatient lately," Master Ziyun said, "You must know that entering the world is also a kind of cultivation, and life is also a kind of cultivation. As long as you can keep your mind upright, don't be confused by foreign things, don't go biased, and the way will not be abandoned. .”

Li Yun was too reclusive and independent before, and although his heart to seek the Tao was very stable, but his temperament and emotions were too rigorous and indifferent, which was not conducive to the choice and development of Tao in the future.The Zhengyi sect is not limited to the secular world, and does not restrict marriage. It pays attention to doing whatever you want and sticking to your heart. If you seek too much suffering, it is not the Zhengyi sect, but a Quanzhen sect similar to ascetic monks. , bright heart.

Li Yun used to suppress his emotions all the time, and his practice progressed very fast at the beginning, but he was overtaken by Yan Lu in just a few years, which is the reason.Li Yun's cultivation has long been bound by himself. If he doesn't enter the world of mortals and doesn't understand human emotions, his path will be really useless.Because without desire, there is no need, no need, how can we seek the Tao?

Now Li Yun is at a time when his emotions are gushing, the heavens are pity, love, family affection and other human affections strike at the same time, some crazy behaviors are madness to others, but to Li Yun it is indeed a relief, a release, only Only in this way can he sort out his mind and resume his practice.

"As your second senior brother said, all Yun'er's behaviors are just normal behaviors. You have never seen them before, and it's not something you shouldn't have. You are young and don't understand the normality of human affairs. It's normal, normal," Ziyun said.

"Master, do you have another question?" Wei Xuexuan said.

"Talk about it," said Master Ziyun.

"That's right, it's about Hong Linxiong giving birth. I don't know how to describe it. I just don't understand why. A few days ago, Senior Lan Huang also said that Heaven's conduct is correct, but I don't understand it," Wei Xuexuan asked.

The birth of a male body shocked her too much. Before that, not to mention Wei Xuexuan, I am afraid that almost everyone has never heard of it or seen it. Others have been in the Tao for a long time, so they can understand it. She explained No, and as a girl, she couldn't understand why Hong Lin, a man, wanted to take over the duties of a woman.

"Yufei, what do you think?" Master Ziyun asked.

"Master, this disciple doesn't understand it very well, it's really shocking," Sun Yufei said, neither having heard of it nor seeing it.

"Yufei, as a teacher, I have already said that if you have any questions in your heart, you should ask them in time. Although a teacher can't explain everything in the world clearly, he can give you a little hint, or we, the master and the apprentice, will seek evidence from each other and understand the Dao together. You Junior sister has already understood this truth, you still need to transform yourself." Ziyun said.

Before Sun Yufei entered Taoism, he had a prominent family background and was often in a position of honor. It was not customary for him to seek out people and ask questions.

"Yes, I would like to respect Master's teaching, and please clarify Master's doubts." Sun Yufei said respectfully.

"Well, there is indeed a record of male pregnancy, but this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes. The reason is not very clear, so I can only explain it in a simple way." Ziyun said.

Heaven moves in a proper way, biochemical all things, yin and yang are separated, male and female are opposite, and together they reproduce.However, there are no absolutes in the world. Strange things are often born in the world, or they follow the avenue to give birth to one side and push forward, or they go against the avenue to seek mutual generation and restraint, and balance the world.

Those who obey the Tao will be born naturally, but if their ability is too great to hinder the world, the heaven will lower the restrictions, if it is light, it will be difficult to reproduce, and if it is serious, it will be annihilated.There are rumors of mythical beasts in the world. The dragon, phoenix, white tiger, and basalt are all alien beasts. They once occupied the four directions and divided the world. , eventually lead to catastrophe, almost extinct.As a result, the way of heaven deviates and blesses mankind.Humans reproduced smoothly and quickly occupied the land.However, the human race is not stable, and one family cannot be the dominant one. It should be restricted. Therefore, although there are few rare and exotic animals, they cannot be eliminated.In order to preserve the survival of the rare beasts, aliens, etc., the only way of heaven is to send down special abilities, such as the phoenix, etc., which have the ability to conceive a male body, and Hong Lin, who swallows foreign objects, and then has the ability to conceive a child. It is the work of good fortune.

"So, as a teacher, I can only tell you so much about the matter of male pregnancy and childbirth. Other teachers are not capable enough to deduce it," Ziyun said.

"Master, these disciples have already thought about it, but there is still one question that I don't understand," Wei Xuexuan said, thinking that since she wanted to ask, she should ask everything thoroughly.

"Let's talk again," Master Ziyun said.

"Master, why do you want to favor the demon world and fight against the Buddha world?" Wei Xuexuan said, this is exactly what they did, and she didn't want to contribute in vain.

"What's Yufei's opinion?" Master Ziyun asked.

"Master, Yufei is affected by ordinary things, so he may have a biased view on this matter, and he is afraid that his words will conflict with Taoism," Sun Yufei said.

"It's okay to talk about it," Ziyun said.

"My disciples believe that this matter is not a dispute between demons and Buddhas, but a dispute between forces, so it doesn't matter which side I wait for. Just like in the court of the world, there are loyal people, people who exercise power, and even more neutral people. People are constantly fighting with each other. However, there is no common master between heaven and earth, so the Western Buddhism, Eastern Heaven, and the demon world are evenly matched and stable. Now the forces of all parties are changing, so there are many incidents and disputes. .” Sun Yufei said.

"Second senior brother means, I am waiting for the immortal to ask, even if I become a fairy in the end, I can't get rid of the imprisonment, can't I be free and unrestrained? In the end, I still have to be like an ordinary person, for this, for that, allocating distribution, only for profit "Wei Xuexuan asked, if this is the case, what is it that you are looking for, and what you are looking for is just to increase your body, to have a long life, to be superior to others?

Sun Yufei nodded. In his heart, seeking immortality was nothing more than that.

"Yufei's words are reasonable, but there are also shortcomings," Ziyun said.

People in the world seek immortality and enter Taoism, regardless of immortals, Buddhas, or demons. When entering Taoism, they know what they are looking for.It is precisely because of the drive of desire that people have the heart of Taoism and are willing to endure the pain of practice.What we seek to become immortals is not to understand the Tao. If we are to become immortals, we are still in the Tao. Regardless of whether it is immortal, Buddhist, demon, or human, the principles of operation are roughly the same. Powerful.If what you seek is Tao, seeking immortality is the only way to go. Only in this way, open your eyes to see the world, and after millions of years of precipitation and reincarnation, can you understand the principle of the operation of heaven and earth, and then pry into the opportunity of Tao.

"Therefore, it must be like this on the way of seeking, so I teach it as a teacher, stick to the heart, what is the heart, what is the path, the heart changes, the path changes, just like Lu'er, his heart is only to roll in the world of mortals, Of course, his journey to immortality must be broken. Now Yun'er is preoccupied with emotions. How he chooses in the future depends on how he chooses. I cannot be a teacher. Those who seek the position of immortality will naturally be able to do so if they obtain it. Stop it, since it's stopped, you can't pry into the reason of Dao, and naturally you have to roll around in the world of mortals, running around in the struggle for fame and fortune." Ziyun said.

"Master, my disciple has another question, what is to punish the evil and promote the good? Yun Qi bears a blood debt, why can't he be killed, but still indulged, in fact, it is not only Yun Qi, why some villains in the world are punished, and some are free. "Wei Xuexuan asked, she didn't understand very well.

"Yufei, do you have any insights?" Master Ziyun asked.

"I don't know what is good and evil, so I can't explain it," Sun Yufei said.

"It's not that you don't know good and evil, but you are afraid of misleading your junior sister." Master Ziyun said.

"Master Shengming," Sun Yufei said.

"Xuan'er, let me ask you, who in the world is qualified to judge good and evil?" Master Ziyun asked.

Wei Xuexuan pondered over and overturned her own answer repeatedly, but in the end she didn't know what she got, so she said, "Master, I don't know."

"Just like before, if you think about it, you can't find it. No one can judge good and evil, but someone can judge rewards and punishments. The so-called eliminating evil and promoting good is not judging good and evil. What is eliminated and what is promoted, no one can judge. It can be judged. In the common world, emperors, generals, and ministers promulgate laws and decrees. These laws, decrees, and words are the standards of rewards and punishments. However, the standards of rewards and punishments are not the difference between good and evil; There are precepts in the west, and there are rules in the demon world, but can these rules judge good and evil? No, they can only judge rewards and punishments."

"However, the standard of rewards and punishments is a matter of competition between the interests of all parties, so whoever is rewarded here will be punished conveniently there?" Wei Xuexuan said.

"Exactly, but Xuan'er has to go to another extreme. Although the standards of rewards and punishments are different, there are axioms in the world. Axioms can be called the principles of Tao for the time being. People in the three realms should abide by them. Otherwise, they will go against the Tao and will be punished." Way to kill." Master Ziyun said.

"Then Yun Qi is in line with the way, or against the way?" Wei Xuexuan asked, she was not targeting Yun Qi, but just taking him as an example.

"Xuan'er, as a teacher, you can't stop this matter. As far as justice is concerned, you can't kill at will. Yun Qi has already made a mistake. However, you can see that his way is still growing, and he is not restricted. He is in harmony with the way. Even if we touch There is no power to fight against it, so it is not us who can punish Yunqi. We are not self-sufficient, and the only way is to die. In addition, as a teacher, you should not be an enemy, and there is a relationship with the law, and you can't get rid of it as a teacher. The world of mortals is troubled, so there is a lot of indulgence in the choice." Ziyun Daoist said, and then asked, "Xuan'er, do you think that being a teacher has lost the face of Taoism?"

"I don't dare. As far as my heart is concerned, even if I have the ability, I am afraid that I will release water because of Senior Brother Yan, so I dare not criticize Master." Wei Xuexuan said.

"Yes, if you can't do it yourself, why force others to do it. As long as you can understand yourself, you can understand your mind, and your mind is unobstructed. You don't need to be troubled by these things. I can't get rid of it, and I often have myths, but The concept of the world is deeply ingrained, and you can’t see it through. You must know that starting from yourself is the right way. Therefore, you must always reflect on yourself, be self-disciplined, and not act arbitrarily.”

"Disciples are taught," Wei Xuexuan and Sun Yufei said, their doubts no longer in their hearts.
