18. The heart is God

As soon as the words of 86_86322 came out, the face of the Taoist priest who was talking to Chen Haisheng was slightly ashamed, and these words also made some of the other Taoist priests present fall into an embarrassing place.

I like such a straightforward person, who will speak straight when you don't like you, and will never play tricks.

"Let's go, let's get out of here" swept a glance at everyone present, Chen Haisheng turned around lightly, and the people watching outside the door consciously gave us a way, and under their awe-inspiring eyes, we walked away.

After walking for a while, I felt that something was wrong with Chen Haisheng next to me, which started when his hand suddenly put on my shoulder, and then I felt the heat in his body, and trembled.

There was something wrong with the adjective fiery, but it was true, his hands and face were flushed, eerily hot, and his body trembled like a panthma.

"Hide your ......" Chen Haisheng forcibly endured the discomfort and pushed me,

"What's wrong?" My face changed, and I hurriedly helped him to sit in the corner of the corner, and after no one was around, Chen Haisheng took out ephedra, almonds and other medicines from my waist pocket and swallowed them into his mouth, and then he slowly stood up, and did not speak, just walked without saying a word.

Walking to the shop, he paid for a bottle of liquor, and when he gurgled his stomach, I realized the reason for his change.

"This body is too weak, every time you use it, it leads to stagnation of yang qi, and it's no wonder that the people of Huaguang Dharma don't leave their bodies, and this method of using yang to govern yang is still somewhat useful." After finishing speaking, Chen Haisheng took another sip of wine.

Carrying me forward, the two of them sat down on the lawn next to the river beach, and it was a long time before I dared to ask my doubts.

"Just now, why did you smash the statue of Emperor Guan? Aren't you a Taoist? Aren't Taoists supposed to respect the gods the most? "Although I am a member of the Wu family, I have the same reverence for the gods of Taoism.

"Grunt" Chen Haisheng raised his head and drank a few sips of wine, the confused egg is a sleeping ghost, but Chen Haisheng has the prototype of a drunkard, after drinking, Chen Haisheng looked up at the opposite side, there is a temple there, he sighed drunken and asked me

"Look at the people who go in and out of the Taoist temple, look at the people who clasp their hands together and mutter to themselves under the statues of the gods, are they really devoutly faithful?"

Before I could answer, Chen Haisheng raised his head to the sky and said: "Sometimes I admire those people, they make mistakes and hurt people, kowtow a few times under the gods, and stand up the next day and be a "dignified" person, and continue to make mistakes openly." ”

"The human heart will always change, some people regard the gods as a believe, and some people as dependent. The Taoist priests in the world are not necessarily pure-hearted, and there are also people who do evil," I answered: "But even so, there is nothing wrong with the statue of Emperor Guan!" ”

"Hehe" Chen Haisheng smiled, glanced at me at the corner of his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you a story!" ”

I forgot the time of the story, it was a girl I met in my previous life. I didn't have many friends in my previous life, just a lewd fat man, a pedantic nerd, and this money-obsessed girl.

This girl is from Meishan Shigongjiao, and the world's Dharma teachings are actually a combination of Taoism and witchcraft, emphasizing witchcraft and despising spiritual practice, not to mention persuading people to return to their original hearts for goodness. Meishan Shigongjiao is the legal lineage of the Zhuang people, its exorcism, the ritual of entering the demon is closer to the ancient witch, the witch has a monstrous means in the eyes of the world, but has always lacked a perfect normative system, both good and evil.

The girl's background is very miserable, she grew up in an orphanage, relying on her own skills to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits and watch feng shui, and the money she earned was sent back to the children in the orphanage to study and buy clothes. Once, I remember a wealthy prince who was often frightened by ghosts and pressed to bed by ghosts. The master's father invited us to his house to open a statue of Emperor Guan to ward off evil spirits.

On that day, it took more than two hours to consecrate the statue. Just as we were about to leave, a large group of people dressed in linen and filial piety came outside the door, and from their weeping, we learned that their daughter had been raped by this prince, and that this prince had committed many sins before. That's why ghosts often disturb the door.

After learning about it, the girl didn't say anything, just silently walked up to the statue of Emperor Guan that she had sealed, gently picked it up, and then took the statue in front of everyone...... Smash it to smithereens.

"You know, what did that girl say to everyone before she left?" Chen Haisheng said with a smile.

I tried to guess: "The girl should be very angry and say, I have my own principles, I don't help the people who do evil?" Or, she's scolding the rich prince...... "The idea is a bit clichΓ©, but that's all I can think of."

"No, the girl looked at everyone and said" Chen Haisheng shook his head slowly, and after a pause, he said: "She said, the heart is God, God is the heart, worthy of the heart, worthy of the gods." Be open-minded, ghosts and gods will not invade. Today, remember what I, a Taoist priest, said. ”

Then, wearing a Taoist robe, the girl silently walked up and stepped on the statue of Emperor Guan, which had been broken into pieces, and crushed it like grinding.

Sweat...... Don't worry too much about this detail. In short, the girl's simple words subverted Chen Haisheng's cultivation path. Chen Haisheng is a Taoist priest who has always admired the gods with a humble heart, but from this moment on, Chen Haisheng suddenly began to reflect on himself.

From beginning to end, is it right or wrong to preach Taoism and make Taoist ideas stand on the land of China again?

No, in fact, the idea of Taoism is right, the purpose is even more correct, it is only people who are wrong, who regard faith as dependence, once and twice for reasons, and straighten their backs to do whatever they want, so whether it is faith, whether it is Taoism or Taoism, it has changed over time.

"What's that girl's name?" I pondered it for a long time, because the impact of these simple words was enormous.

"Uh...... Hehe, her name is Han Handuo. Chen Haisheng was drunk and smirked: "Everyone goes to Lingshan to beg, but they don't know that Lingshan is in your heart."

The cool autumn breeze blows, blowing the river beach, the other end of the river beach is a temple, the good faith in and out is not busy, frowning and anxious when entering, and walking with peace of mind when leaving the waist pole upright. On this side of the river, there is me, and there is a Dharma Taoist priest who is asleep, a combination of contradictions......

As the quiet time passed slowly, I began to read the contradictory heart of the confused man next to me.

As a Taoist priest, he has always worked hard to teach the Tao and follow the path of the right path of the law. But at the same time, he was conflicted, because he was confused, and he did not know whether the expansion and preaching of the religion was really beneficial to the world.

The moment she smashed the idol, she and he smashed her own heart. I don't want faith to become a tool that the world relies on, and I hope to wake up the world. If one day, the gods are really reduced to the world's stealing and abduction, and reduced to a tool to control their thoughts, then they will not hesitate to choose to break and stand up. They practice the Dharma and cultivate the Tao, but they respect their own hearts. It is a group of hateful and respectable people.

Perhaps, the gods and Buddhas don't need you to worship, and you don't need to wag your tail and beg to wait in front of the saddle with incense. The Buddha said that if you make a Bodhi vow, you will not take refuge. The Tao says: If you vow to have no desire, where is not practice.

"Brother Sheng, I understand." For a long time, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Sheng, let's go back" pushed Chen Haisheng, but there was no response several times in a row, and after pushing a few more times, I helplessly found that he was asleep, sleeping like a pig, and he couldn't wake up for three or five hours.

Chen Haisheng's arms showed a few old man's heads, which were the hexagrams given by the middle-aged woman just now. Thinking back to Xiaoping's family, who are now trapped in poverty, I suddenly had an idea.

It's not about stealing, it's about taking the money and gambling. This month, I am partial to wealth, I can be engaged in gambling and other investments, and before going out, I looked at the yellow calendar, today is the most prosperous day of partial wealth.

It's a pity to waste such luck on such a day. Thinking about it, I grabbed a few old man's heads from Chen Haisheng's arms and went to the gambling house in the town to find them
