Nanfeng nodded, the monk in the eyes of the world, including in the eyes of his own people, should be the four empty, no concern of the character, like Baozheng's practice, will inevitably attract the world's criticism and the exclusion of the same family, the reason why the world and other monks do not recognize him, in the final analysis, there is only one reason, that is, Baozheng is affectionate and righteous, he only does what he thinks is right, and does not care what the world thinks of him, which is why the ancestor of the Shangqing Dynasty appreciates him.

"Master, have you ever wondered over the years what the messenger had for keeping you here?" asked Nanfeng.

Bao Zheng sighed slightly, and then said, "The old man only said half of what he said before, and a lot of things happened in the second half of his life. Later Jin Emperor convened ten thousand monks to debate the law, and the Tao debate, Lao Qu as a monk is also in the call, but the remarks have not won glory for the Buddha, and was criticized by the same sect for bewitching the public, disloyalty and forgetting the roots, like Lao Qu This kind of precept is broken, the six unpurified people, after the death of the person I am afraid there will be no fruit to prove, the person who transmits the sound must be merciful, leave me here, want to help me some. ”

Bao Zheng said, the south wind nodded slowly, the five Hu chaos is known to the world, at that time the Han people in the north were almost killed by the Hu people, the later Han people Ran Min, raised troops to drive Hu, and hit the five tribes, especially the most evil of the Qian tribe, that is, Hou Jing's ethnic group, almost by the Han people revenge exterminated, because this matter is too bloody, shocking human nature, the people of later generations will try their best to downplay this matter, the five Hu chaos and glorification of the five Hu chaos into ethnic minorities to move south, in order to seek harmony.

After a short period of thought, Nanfeng asked, "Master, what kind of words did you say back then, which was hated by the Buddhist monks?"

"Lao Wei just said that Buddhism has entered the east, and there are many references to Taoism, so that the doctrinal system can be completed. Bao Zheng sighed, "All the virtuous monks know about this matter, but they deceive themselves and close their eyes. ”

"Master, why don't you have a position?" Nanfeng said with a smile, Baozheng is a real virtuous monk, who dares to tell the truth, has no conscience, is open-minded, and is honest and fair.

"Amitabha," Bao Zheng sang to the Buddha, "Lao Qu is a monk, and his heart to the Buddha has never changed lightly. ”

"When you were alive, did someone from the Dao Sect ask you to switch to the Dao Sect?" asked Nanfeng.

Bao Zheng shook his head slowly, with a wry smile on his face, "The donor said that he was laughing, the old man was notorious and notorious when he was alive, and the world avoided him. ”

Nanfeng thought for a moment and then asked, "Since you think that you won't be able to attain any fruition after you pass away, why don't you change to the heart of the Buddha?"

"Amitabha, Lao Qu had a loss of virtue before his death, although the fruit position was lost, but my Buddha is merciful, and the opportunity to reincarnate will definitely be given to me. Baozheng's words were full of loneliness and sadness.

Bao Zheng said, Nanfeng didn't ask again, at this moment, he already knew why the Shangqing Patriarch kept Bao Zheng here, although Bao Zheng is a monk, but he is a true temperament that dares to love and hate, and changes when he knows his mistakes, which is the main reason why the Shangqing Patriarch appreciates him, in addition, Bao Zheng once saved the life of the Sword Frost Zhenren, which is also one of the reasons. In addition, there is a third reason, that is, Bao Zhengnian was excluded and attacked by a group of monks and nuns because he said a few fair words for the Taoist.

Now it can be determined that Bao Zheng was left here by the Shangqing Patriarch, and the next question to be considered is whether to follow the arrangement of the Shangqing Patriarch, this question does not seem to need to be considered, because he recognizes Baozheng's personality very much, this is a brave man who strayed into the darkness and bravely came out of the darkness, and he is also a wise man who has gone through vicissitudes and is true and knows the law.

After pondering for a long time, Nanfeng spoke again, "Master, will you kill your relatives in righteousness?"

Bao Zheng was puzzled when he heard this, Nanfeng's question was very sudden, although he didn't understand why Nanfeng asked this question, but he knew that Nanfeng's question must have a deep meaning.

Baozheng's doubts didn't last long, because the deep meaning was in the question itself, and Nanfeng was asking him whether he valued affection more or reason.

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, if you don't help your relatives, the old man can still do it," Bao Zheng shook his head, "But the righteous killing of relatives, the old man still can't do it." ”

Nanfeng smiled and nodded, Bao Zheng didn't know him, and he didn't know how to answer to satisfy him, but Bao Zheng didn't think about it for too long before answering, which showed that Bao Zheng was only talking about what he really thought in his heart.

"Master, if you attain the bodhisattva status, what do you want to do the most?" Nanfeng asked again, the previous question was actually a modified way of asking the first question, Baozheng is not an ordinary martial artist, and he can't directly ask him if he will be grateful and appreciated, because that kind of question is not very respectful to him.

Hearing this, Bao Zheng once again showed his doubts, and Nanfeng's question pointed directly to the Bodhisattva fruit position, not the Buddha and Arhat fruit position, which showed that his question had a specific meaning.

But the bodhisattva position is not normal, Nanfeng is too young, it is difficult for him to associate the bodhisattva position with the young man in his early twenties in front of him.

Even if he was puzzled in his heart, Baozheng still said, "Continue to devote yourself to meditation and practice Buddhism and enlightenment." ”

Nanfeng nodded again, unlike the other candidates, Bao Zheng is a person who has no concerns, and he is also a person who has no selfish desires, and only has affection and justice in his heart, such a person is better than those he has chosen.

After nodding, Nanfeng asked again, "Master, how do you think that poor people must have something to hate?"

"There is no hateful man, and there is no pitiful man. Bao Zheng shook his head.

"What's the explanation?" asked Nanfeng.

"Sowing good causes to get good results, sowing evil causes to get evil results, who escaped the cycle of cause and effect?" Bao Zheng asked rhetorically.

Nanfeng frowned slightly when he heard this, he frowned not because Baozheng's thoughts were different from his, but because he was thinking about the difference between the two, and if he thought about it carefully, there was no essential difference between the two, only the difference between broad and specific, Baozheng's statement was more broad and subtle, and his views were more specific and detailed, the former was not understood by everyone, but the latter was easier to understand by the laity.

Sure that he wanted to invite Paibao to fight, Nanfeng got to the point, "Master, have you ever wondered who the person who transmitted the sound was?"

"Before the donor came, half of the old man understood, and after the donor came, half of the old man didn't understand. Bao Zheng said.

"Haha, I'd like to hear about it. Nanfeng said with a smile, in fact, the real Buddhist monks' words are not pretentious, what Baozheng said is like this, think about it carefully, there are still subtle differences between half of them don't understand and half of them understand.

Bao Zheng said, "Before, Lao Wei knew that the person who made the shot was a person from the Dao Sect in a high position, but he didn't know who he was. Now the old man knows who this man is, but he doesn't know where he is?"

"Do you think I was the one who transmitted the sound back then?" said Nanfeng with a smile.

"Only the benefactor has such a temperament that can do such a thing. Bao Zheng said.

"Hahaha," Nanfeng smiled and waved his hand, "The master is overrated, my praise for the master is true, but the person who transmitted the sound back then was not me, if I didn't guess wrong, this person should be the Shangqing Patriarch Lingbao Tianzun." ”

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south. "Bao Zhenghe sings Buddha, although he is a Buddhist monk, he knows the Sanqing Patriarch. This is the same truth that people in the Taoist sect know that the Buddha is coming.

"Master, you have lived here for a long time, and you are not well informed," Nanfeng said here, turning his head to look at Yuan Anning, "You also tell the master the ins and outs of the matter." ”

Yuan Anning nodded lightly, lightly opened her lips, and spoke on behalf of Nanfeng, she was delicate, thoughtful, and talked for half an hour.

After Yuan Anning finished speaking, Bao's face was solemn and did not say a word, although Yuan Anning did not say it explicitly, the meaning of his words was already very clear, he wanted to let him compete with the heavenly realm and the underworld on behalf of the world, and compete for the position of Da Luo Jin Immortal.

Worried that Baozheng would stick to the sect, Nanfeng explained, "Master, as the saying goes, all the laws return to the sect, and the different paths return to the same place, whether it is to cultivate the Buddha or the Tao, the ultimate goal is nothing more than to help the world and purify all sentient beings. ”

Bao Zheng nodded slowly, but still did not speak.

Seeing that he was cautious and cautious, Nanfeng smiled and excited, "Lian Po is old, can you still eat?"

Bao Zheng knew that the south wind was provoking him, but he still retorted with a straight face, "Although Lian Po is old, he is not comparable to the likes of soldiers on paper, but the old man is a Buddha......

Before Bao Zheng finished speaking, Nanfeng raised his hand to interrupt him, "The master is too worried, the master will always be the master, and the master will only be the master." ”

"Nan no Amitabha, thank you. Bao Zheng thanked Nanfeng together, and Nanfeng's implication was that even if he was successful and soared, he would not be allowed to change his sect.

"No thanks, tolerance is not unique to Buddhism," Nanfeng smiled and handed over the jade bi, "Master, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, go to Yunhua Mountain." ”

Bao Zheng stretched out his hand to take it and nodded at Nanfeng.

Nanfeng stood up, "Master, there are three caves of Yin Soul wandering in the West Mountain, do you know where it came from?"

"That's the patrol man who drove the land of Jiankang. Bao Zheng said.

Nanfeng didn't ask again, since he was a bad official, he couldn't choose to be recruited.

Seeing the south wind get up, Bao Zheng took a few steps first, opened the door, and the south wind stepped out first, the bright moon outside was empty, the empty house was ruined, and it was ethereal and deserted.

When the two came out, Bao Zheng followed and stopped at the door, "Two donors, don't send them slowly." ”

"Master, the two of us are distinguished guests, and you should give them out of the door. Nanfeng laughed.

Bao Zheng's heart sank when he heard this, and he tried to take a step, only to find that the formation confinement had quietly disappeared.

"Master, if you hold the jade, there will be no evil ghosts coming to detain you," Nanfeng said, "You can come and go as you please, and go elsewhere." ”

Although Baozheng was old and quiet, after regaining his freedom, he still couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, folded his hands, and thanked the south wind.

Nanfeng returned the salute, Chong Yuan Anning made a look, and the two of them raised their spirits and swept towards the West Mountain.

Although Bao Zheng said the origin of the yin ghost in Xishan before, Nanfeng still took Yuan Anning to find it, what Bao Zheng said is not bad, the yin ghost is indeed the poor person of the land temple, however, it is not simply to determine this person, to be exact, the identity of this ghost, in addition to the verification and confirmation of Bao Zheng's identity, this yin soul does not know Bao Zheng's life, only knows that it is a 'deviant demon monk, I don't know who is trapped there. ’

It was already the fourth watch time since Xishan left, and seeing that Yuan Anning was a little sleepy, Nanfeng did not go to the palace again, but returned to the inn where he stayed before, which was a guest room for twenty taels of silver a night, and it was a bit of a waste just to take a bath......
