Chapter 19: This Is the Law (2)

Lingshan!

This isn't the first time a line has heard the word.

Of course, not everyone hears this word.

When the party once asked the master who was invincible, the master also told him: "There is no invincible person, even the Emperor Youdi has never been invincible, but there is a place that must be invincible." ”

At that time, the group was still young, and he had to chase the master to tell him what the place was, and after asking many times, the master told him two words: Lingshan!

At this time, this old Taoist said Lingshan again.

He asked, "Lingshan, what is that place?"

Slightly annoyed, Lao Dao shouted: "How do I know what place it is, no one knows where this place is, it is said that only when the world is in chaos, people in this place will appear." According to Emperor You, if it weren't for the people of Lingshan, he might not have been defeated, although he was invincible at that time, but after all, the enemy was not reasonable. ”

One line was even more puzzled: "It will only appear when the world is in turmoil? When the world is invincible, but it is invincible? What is the reason?"

He couldn't help but look at Lao Dao.

Lao Dao paused, and seemed to be a little old and red, but he was just a consciousness body, and he couldn't see it at all, and said angrily: "I don't know what the reason is so powerful, I actually let Emperor You admit defeat." If I knew, I would definitely reason with him, who can be reasonable. ”

He said angrily: "You little monk is really annoying, why do you have so many questions when you listen to the story, and ask some questions that I can't answer, I used to see you a little pleasing to the eye, but now the more I look at it, the more unpleasant it becomes." ”

A line scratched his bald head, a little embarrassed: "Then I won't ask, you continue." ”

Lao Dao nodded, just thinking about what to say, and after a long while, he said dejectedly: "The story has been told, you better continue to ask questions." ”

The line was stunned, not knowing whether to ask or not.

Seeing his expression, Lao Dao finally spoke: "I have already told you the ins and outs of this place. I don't know what Emperor Youdi is going to do, I only know that he finally left this imperial tomb, and he also left a legacy. It's just that I don't know what that inheritance is. Little monk, you won't also come here for the inheritance, right?"

The line blushed slightly, and said: "That's not it, the master said, the inheritance of the Emperor You is a thing of chaos in the world, and it cannot be obtained, since it is in this world, if you can't dissuade the world, you should have the courage that I don't go to hell and who goes to hell, and get the inheritance of the Emperor You, so that it will not harm the world." Besides, my Buddhism has its own heritage, and it is not weaker than the Youdi inheritance, so I don't have to covet the Youdi inheritance. ”

This little monk is really simple, and the old Taoist is happy: "You old Buddhist monks are smart, and they found you as a stupid monk, but you are a monk, and I like it a lot." ”

Xingxin said, I'm not a dumb monk, I just don't talk nonsense.

Lao Dao said: "Since you have the courage to go to hell, it is indeed admirable. My old Tao has nothing to give you, after all, your Buddhist inheritance is not weaker than mine, and Buddhism is different after all. However, although there are differences between the two paths, there are also commonalities, I can pass on to you a Taoist scripture, this sutra is written by the Taoist ancestor, it is said that there is a supreme mystery of heaven and earth and the universe. Now that this sutra has been passed down to me, I cannot make it lost, so you should write it down, if you can gain better in the future, if you don't get it, you also need to remember to pass this sutra back to the Daomen, can you agree?"

The little monk agreed. A line said categorically.

"That's so good. After the old Tao finished speaking, he began to pass on the scriptures, which are full of more than 5,000 words, and the real words are endless, and the heaven and earth are all in it.

It took more than half a day for the old Tao to complete the teaching.

When he was finished, Lao Dao seemed to have put down a thousand catties of heavy burden, and said: "You are neither here for the inheritance of Emperor You, nor do you have the heart to win the inheritance, why don't you just stop there, how about going back?"

One line is a little puzzled.

Lao Dao explained: "The inheritance of the Emperor is an ominous thing, you bear the two causes and effects of my Buddhism and Taoism, and it is not appropriate to get the inheritance of the Emperor Youdi." Besides, the world is like this, and the gains and losses are between good and bad, and it is in line with the will of the way for you to retreat at this time. ”

Xingxin said, I didn't say that I had to get the inheritance of Emperor You, I just didn't want others to get it, but when I thought of Li Chucheng, Yuwen Wushuang and Ding Hao, he was a little depressed.

I can't make them give up, but I can still fight.

Lao Dao seemed to see his thoughts, and said with a smile: "You little monk, you are competitive, where do you have the appearance of a monk." Anyway, you will definitely not be willing to give up, in that case, I will send you out of the customs. ”

After saying that, the little monk immediately felt a great force of repulsion, and then swished, and he didn't know where he was squeezed.

Lao Dao seemed to be a little unsatisfied, and muttered to himself: "This monk is very much in line with me, I don't know if anyone will come next time, my cause and effect are over, no matter who the next person is, let him pass the test." The past should be gone, and everything will be dispersed with the wind. ”

Ding Hao wondered, what is the situation, the last problem is just to solve the math problem, why did this problem start to be tried.

Looking at the kneeling people, Ding Hao fell into deep thought.

I heard someone say, "According to the law of the imperial court, a person who beats his parents to death shall be punished with death." Huang committed suicide in anger because he was insulted by his son, and he should be beheaded according to the law. ”

"Definitely." Another person said: "Huang threw himself into the river, not his son who killed him, even if the cause was because he was scolded by his son, but this does not mean that his son had the idea of killing his mother." Therefore, he was convicted. ”

"Ridiculous!" said the man before: "I should rule the world with filial piety, and there is a law, although the Huang family committed suicide, but the root cause is still because of his son's insults." Do you think that the ants are still stealing their lives, if it weren't for his son's insults too much, how could the Huang family throw himself into the river?"

The latter shook his head and said, "The law is the law, and those who beat their parents to death should naturally be punished with death, but insulting their parents because of thirty rods." You can't ignore the law just because you insult your parents to death. ”

"No. The man said, "The law is dead, but man is alive." ”

"Haha. Then the man laughed and said, "Then since the law is dead and man is alive, why do we need to make laws?"

......

The two began to argue, and finally looked at Ding Hao together and asked, "How to decide, please show me." ”

This should be the exam question.

Ding Hao groaned: What is the meaning of this exam question?

He fell into deep thought.

insulting his mother caused her to throw herself into the river and die, one is the cause and the other is the effect. It stands to reason that verbal abuse of the mother does not necessarily lead to suicide.

But if it weren't for the heartbreak, what mother would be willing to give up her life?

Such a person, even if he cannot be killed according to the law, if I am to judge, he will be killed.

Ding Hao immediately judged: "Chop!"

The prisoner dragged on and came up with another case.

Someone reported: "My lord, this is another case of killing my mother. This young man, after the death of his mother, his father married his stepmother. One day, his father was reading a book, and when he read a certain poem depicting a beautiful woman as gentle and virtuous, he unintentionally sighed: "If you have a wife, you will have no regrets even if she dies." Unexpectedly, his stepwife heard it, and she was furious and stabbed her husband to death with scissors. The boy arrived, snatched the murder weapon, and killed his stepmother. According to the law of the imperial court, those who kill their parents should be punished with death. Therefore, this young man should be beheaded according to the law!"

"No, you can't. Another person said: "Although this young man killed his mother, he did so because he avenged his father, and the killer had a reason." ”

"No matter how much it happens, it can't change the fact that he killed his mother. One should be cut according to the law, and the other is just judged by the adults. Therefore, this juvenile should be sentenced to death. ”

Here it comes.

Ding Hao had a sudden break in his heart, which should be the key to this question. It is the same case of mothericide, but one crime deserves it, and the other has a cause, so it must not be judged according to the same judgment.

However, how do you judge it?

He carefully looked at the two cases again, and immediately said: "This young man avenges his father and should be acquitted." ”、

"I don't accept it. The man before said loudly: "It is the same case of killing mothers, why is there such a big difference in the verdicts of adults? One was sentenced to capital punishment when it was clear that the crime did not lead to death, and the other was sentenced to not guilty when he should have been beheaded." Could it be that the laws of the court are child's play to adults?"

"Yes, if the lord does not give an explanation, the lower official will definitely report to the court. ”

"Yes, the adult's handling of the case is like child's play, and the subordinate officials are also dissatisfied. ”

Ding Hao thought to himself, it was quite true, and said solemnly at the moment: "What is the law? The law is determined by people. Why do you want to make the law, and what is it for, have you ever thought about it? Blindly adjudicating according to the law and ignoring the essence of the law, are you a little old-fashioned? Too rigid?"

Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, he said: "The essence of the law is to punish evil and promote good, if you can't even do this, then what kind of law do you need?"

Bang!

Originally, when he talked about why he wanted to make the law, the surroundings began to change, and when he talked about the essence of the law, there was finally a change. Heaven and earth roared with it.

This is the deafening sound, the sound that has never been heard in the world.

Ding Hao said again: "And what kind of mother is the stepmother, since the father is dead, if the father dies naturally, it is just that, obviously the father was killed by the stepmother, but you want the young man to admit that he killed his father's enemy as his mother, it is really ridiculous and ridiculous." The judge acquitted the juvenile, and he should know his heart and the essence of the law. This official told you to wait, this is the Fa!"

As soon as this statement came out, the door was broken and the question was solved.
