Chapter 837 Undertaking the construction of Taoist temples

Since his cultivation has become more and more profound, Ye Xiang has become more able to realize that there are all kinds of causes and effects in the world.

If you don't know how to explain cause and effect, cause and effect will accumulate deeper and deeper, and then there will be a catastrophe under the entanglement of cause and effect.

This catastrophe is either a human catastrophe or a heavenly catastrophe, depending on whether the cause and effect of this haunting are more or less.

This is also the reason why many cultivators like to be born and cultivate more deeply when they practice, and there are also some people who have been entangled in cause and effect early on, and enter the world to practice merit and repay the cause and effect they once owed.

It's a pity that, just like in the gods, although Jiang Ziya is dedicated to the Tao, he does not have good qualifications, and because of the relationship between the gods, he has a lot of cause and effect, and he has practiced for more than 40 years, with little progress, and is still wandering in the mortal stage.

Compared to him, that Shen Gongbao has good qualifications, but it's a pity that this guy has an unstable heart, although he has achieved the body of an immortal, but his heart is in Hongchen, especially after Jiang Ziya left the master, he entered the world, and after making achievements, Shen Gongbao was even more unable to cultivate, he also learned from Jiang Ziya's example, and began to wander in the Republic of China, helping the people to do things, and enhancing his prestige.

It's just that Shen Gongbao is different from Jiang Ziya, although Jiang Ziya also uses spells to help people, but he is more hands-on and laborious.

But what about Shen Gongbao? This guy relies on cultivation and does exactly what he wants, which makes many people unhappy with him, and most of the people in the human race don't like his style of doing things.

That's right, Taoism is very important in the Terran at this time, and most of the people in the Terran know a little bit about it. But many things can't be done by Dao techniques, and too much use of Dao techniques will only cause cause and effect.

You can say the rain melting technique, which can keep the Terrans hydrated. But why does Heavenly Court have a special function? Because he needs an assessment of whether you are qualified enough to receive enough rain.

To put it bluntly, it depends on whether you have done something sorry for the world, just like the Jade Emperor punished that small country in the Journey to the West, if it weren't for Sun Monkey's big face, it would be hard to say what that country would look like.

Here, this principle is also useful, but they don't look at the immortals, but the harm to heaven and earth, and those who hurt the big will naturally be punished!

Therefore, when using Taoism, it is necessary to consider cause and effect, just like a wicked person doing evil, an ordinary wicked person is enough to kill people, and if he knows Taoism, he can slaughter the city and exterminate the clan. This kind of thing. In the Terrans there are not none, but many. Therefore, the use of Taoism in the Republic of China needs to be reviewed and evaluated, and some places are not allowed to use Taoism at all.

This is cause and effect.

In addition, let's talk about merit.

Merit is very important, and most cultivators know it, otherwise there would be no such thing as eliminating demons and defending the path.

From everyone who enters the Tao, the first thing to look at is merit, and everyone has this merit book.

What mortals do, often the merit value falls, and finally exhausts, and after death, they either fall into the underworld, or turn into a hungry ghost.

If the blessed land of the sect wants to ascend to the sect cave heaven to practice again, it mainly depends on cause and effect.

This cause and effect is the opposite of merit, and the cause and effect value accumulates for a certain amount, and either the realm falls or the calamity is immediately experienced.

It is impossible for the sect blessed land to empty the cause and effect to zero, so that it is completely carefree, even if it is not the sect heavenly court, there is always that wisp, and when it comes to the sect cave heaven, if you want to develop, it depends on luck.

Merit, cause and effect, and luck are the three influencing variables of a person's transcendent sanctification, and it can be said that along with the whole practice, basically the practice looks at merit in the early stage, cause and effect in the middle stage, and luck in the later stage.

The mundane world is where practitioners earn the most merit.

To put it simply, the merit of helping an old lady cross the road in the worldly world is about the same as the merit of building a bridge on the road in the blessed land cave.

The reason why the worldly saints live together is because the children of various sects and sects often come out to earn merit points.

However, the mundane world is the most likely to provoke cause and effect. For example, the cultivators in the sect strictly forbid to fall in love with mortals, because the cause and effect of the monks in the sect are hundreds of thousands times greater than the Taoist couples formed within the sect.

Knowing this, Ye Xiang understood the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

Their ending must have been a tragedy, but because of the world's willingness to exchange for the annual meeting at the Magpie Bridge, it can be regarded as a bright future.

There are many legends of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and Ye Xiang has also heard of several versions.

It is said that the Cowherd is an orphan in Niujiazhuang in Nanyang City, living according to his brother and sister-in-law, sister-in-law Ma is mean, often abusing him, he was forced to split up and rely on an old cow to cultivate and eat himself, this old cow is very psychic, it is the Taurus Star Nether in the sky, and has followed the Cowherd for more than a year, and died that night. After the old scalper died, he gave the cowherd three dreams in a row, and said to the cowherd in the dream: "At three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, I will go back to heaven, after I leave, you peel off my skin, wait until the seventh day of the seventh month, put it on your body, and ensure that you can go to heaven, the queen mother has seven daughters, and they go to bathe in the heavenly river that day, remember, the fairy in green clothes is your daughter-in-law." You must not let them see you, and when they are all in the water, you take your clothes and run back, she will chase you, and as long as you get home, she will not leave. ”

The next day, when the cowherd saw that the old ox was dead, he did not eat or drink, and he touched it with his hand and cried, and then he peeled off the cowhide, leaving the cowhide to bury the cow, and knelt on the cow's grave and cried.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, the cowherd put on a cowhide, immediately left the ground with his feet, and came to the bank of the Tianhe River, he quietly hid in the woods and waited, and after a while, the seven fairies of the Queen Mother came, and they took off their clothes one by one, and jumped into the water.

The three fairies saw that someone hugged her clothes, and chased after the water, chased after herd, chased after the cowherd, and chased to the cowherd's house, the three fairies asked the cowherd why she took her clothes, the cowherd said that she wanted her to be his daughter-in-law, the three fairies repeatedly said that the rules of heaven are not allowed, the cowherd repeatedly said that the world is better than the sky, the three fairies saw that the cowherd was good-looking, and was also moved, so he responded to him. Hit this, the three fairies fell into the world, she played flowers and weaved cloth at home every day, people called her the weaver girl, the cowherd went out to sell cloth every day to make money, and the two lived a comfortable life.

Three fairies and the Cowherd after three or five years, gave birth to a boy and a girl, one day, the Cowherd went to work in the field, the sky sounded the heavenly drum, the Jade Emperor sent the heavenly soldiers and generals to capture the Weaver Girl, the Cowherd went home to see, saw the two children crying, I don't know where the daughter-in-law went, anxious to turn, a child, the eldest child hand to the sky, the Cowherd thought that the Weaver Girl was gone, he hurriedly took up the two children, put on the cowhide to catch the Weaver Girl.

The Cowherd was anxious and chased fast, and when he saw that he was about to catch up with the Weaver Girl, he annoyed the Queen Mother: "Okay, you Cowherd, don't you want to chase to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace?"

She pulled out the silver pipe on her head, and swiped between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and immediately drew a heavenly river, the Cowherd had no way to cross the river, so she was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and the two children in the basket called Niang. The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd both cried, it was useless to cry, the Cowherd wanted to leave a miss for the Weaver Girl, took out the cow buckle sleeve and threw it at the Weaver Girl, the Weaver Girl took it in her hand, the Weaver Girl thought about it, there was nothing to send, took out the weaving shuttle and threw it according to the Cowherd, the Weaver Girl had a small hand, and threw the weaving shuttle crookedly.

This is the Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet, once a year on the seventh day of July.

Ye Xiang also knew this story, which was also one of the reasons why immortal cultivators would not look for a lover in the world.

However, because of this, the monks of the Xiuzhen sect who entered the mortal world rarely killed in the world, and even showed their supernatural powers, because although they were happy in the short term, they would be robbed if they accumulated too much karma in the long run.

Therefore, the mysterious cause and effect between heaven and earth is the lubricant that maintains the stability and peace of all walks of life. It can be said that merit, cause and effect, and luck form a complex relationship that promotes but restricts each other.

In short, the laity are most afraid of merit, and if they have no merit, they will fall into hell after death, and the immortals are most afraid of cause and effect, and if they can't jump out of cause and effect, they can't jump out of reincarnation, and if they jump out of cause and effect, they are most afraid of luck, and if their luck fails, even celestial beings will have five decays.

This is the role of merit.

The other thing is luck.

Later generations often say that people will conquer heaven, but people can defeat heaven. And in Ye Xiang's opinion, everything is just a rabid dog barking day, deceived and ignorant.

People are determined, and winning the sky is the right solution. It refers to the stability of the human heart above all else. I didn't tell you that people can definitely beat God.

What is the way of heaven, the way of heaven is a collection of the laws of heaven and earth, what people should learn is to understand the laws of the laws, make good use of the laws, and even finally master the laws, instead of going to the blood but violating the laws.

The general trend of heaven, the vast soup, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die. If you want to change the results in the future, you should work hard from the "cause", good cause and good effect, follow the trend, you work hard, you make a good choice, you can expect to reap the best results.

It's like you can't do all the bad things, and you still want people not to hate you, but you want good luck to fall from the sky.

Ye Xiang's current strength can only follow the trend, but he can't go against the sky.

There is a saying, what I give you is yours, I don't give you, you force it? Okay, take your life!

With a drink and a peck, the small trend can be changed, and it can also change the general trend in the future, there are countless possibilities for the Heavenly Dao, but there is absolutely no possibility that it can be changed in the determined result.

The test on the road to immortality is the blessing qualification of a seeker, and Pushi has the possibility of becoming a beautiful jade. At most, the stone becomes a stone sculpture.

The road to immortality, all the way to immortality, one step at a time, one step at a time, one choice. Since it's a mountaineering path, you won't be able to try to fly by. Ye wanted to try to do the vest talisman in a hurry, but now he couldn't even use the art of earth walking. Make it clear that you can climb the mountain honestly.

The immortal road is ethereal, and the heavenly road is uncertain. Those who are blessed rise, those who are not blessed fall, those who are virtuous gain, and those who are not virtuous lose.

So Ye Xiang doesn't value feng shui, although there is a saying that there is one life, two luck and three feng shui in the world, but that is only for ordinary people.

Ye Xiang attaches more importance to merit, cause and effect, and luck.

For Ye Xiang, luck and cause and effect are okay, mainly merit.

And it's the same for Yue Qiluo.

No matter which world it is, merit will be with you, it doesn't mean that the evil things that Yue Qiluo did in the unintentional world will not be there in this world, this is impossible, there should still be there.

That's why Ye Xiang talked to Yue Qiluo about merit and cause and effect.

Yue Qiluo supported Ye Xiang's words, and she also had some understanding, when she was in the Wuxin World before, she only cared about immortality and didn't think about these things, but now it's different, her and Ye Xiang's goal is to cultivate to become an immortal, and the merit is very important.

But you can take your time in the future.

Ye Xiang stayed at home for a few days, and began to investigate the matter of contracting Xishuishan, what procedures and preparations are probably required, and after investigating, he found that the development of Xishuishan could not be cheaper.

Because in addition to tourism investment, only planting and breeding are left in the mountains and forests.

The mountains and forests in this part of Xishui Mountain, except for the development value of the town because of the geographical elements, the Xishui Mountain area in other places is simply barren mountains and wilderness, and it is far away from the crowd, the road is impassable, the geology is not good, and the development value is not large.

So as long as someone is willing to invest money, the government is a hundred willing.

This made Ye Xiang's heart suddenly bottomed out.

As long as the money can handle the matter, it goes without saying that he still has more than one million in his hand, and I believe that it is not a problem to contract the part of the mountain behind the mountain.

As for the other local ownership issues, in other words, who else would be stupid enough to play development there except for themselves, this is completely a deal to buy one N.

The problem was not big, so Ye Xiang did not delay any longer, and directly found the Forestry Bureau, saying that he would contract a part of the mountain forest in Xishui Mountain.

Although the leaders of the Forestry Bureau did not know why Ye Xiang contracted the poor place of Xishui Mountain, he was also very happy, after all, it was a good thing for someone to contract the mountains and forests, as for what people do, as long as they do not damage the environment, they can do it.

In recent years, the barren mountains and wilderness have been neglected, and the Forestry Bureau's clear water can make people desperate, and no one can usually imagine that the mountain city government actually has such a department, and this time someone can contract the mountains and forests, and the cliff is a big deal that is rare in several years.

At that moment, a deputy director of the Forestry Bureau took the initiative to accompany Ye Xiang to the dilapidated Taoist temple to survey and map the place Ye wanted to contract.

Ye wanted to let the other party calculate, based on the mountain of Houshan, the right to use the mountains and forests within a radius of ten kilometers, including lakes and mountains, forests and hills.

The Forestry Bureau roughly calculated, about 1.2 million, which can be contracted for 30 years.

1.2 million yuan bought the right to use the 10-kilometer range of mountain woodland marked by the back mountain for 50 years, covering most of the lake in front and more than 2 kilometers deep into the valley in the back, including 13 peaks more than 100 meters high and the mountains and forests and hills mixed in it.

Although the contract stipulates that the peaks and forests shall not be cut down at will, a separate contract shall be established if there is a demand.

Ma Li's money and contract were cleared, and the eyes of the deputy director of the Forestry Bureau narrowed into a line with joy, and privately said that if Ye wanted to expand the contract, he could still give a discount.
