Chapter 25: Revenge
Before entering the place where the saint fell, Qin Jing asked a question - what is a saint?
"Immortal Jun said that he who does not regard himself as a saint is a saint."
Zhi Ge's answer was an absolute paradox for Qin Jing, she didn't regard herself as a saint, but how could she be a saint. To put it this way, everyone is a saint, and everyone is not a saint, which has a bit of a Zen flavor, seeing everyone is a Buddha, seeing a Buddha is everyone. But in fact, Qin Jing couldn't understand it more deeply, her understanding was only literal, let her think deeper, not only could she not figure it out, but she also had to be trapped in a dead end scratching her ears and cheeks.
Shen Changjun: "You have to become a holy fruit, don't think it's famous, and you can show your true saint?" β
"Can we stop talking about it?" I don't understand it at all, Qin Jing now feels that her IQ is actually not too reliable, she used to only think that she was half a beat slower, and her IQ was still very normal, but when she was talking about the Tao, she knew that her IQ was not enough at all.
Zhi Gordon felt that this opportunity might also be Shen Changjun's, because Qin Xiaojing really lacked some wisdom. Crossing from the long seagrass, Zhi Ge suddenly drilled out of Qin Xiaojing's soft embrace, it didn't want to become a trivial flying sword, that would affect the temperament too much: "This place is the place where the saint fell, there is only a magic circle that can allow one person to pass, and the Aoshan Immortal Monarch was also with people when he came, but except for the Immortal Monarch who entered this place first, everyone else was turned away." β
As an elder, Shen Changjun was originally a companion, of course he would not grab this with Qin Xiaojing, so he stood in place and motioned for Qin Jing to step forward. Qin Jing didn't hesitate, but at the same time she entered, the light of the magic circle flashed, and Shen Changjun was also enveloped in it, and before Qin Jing could look around when he entered the magic circle, he first saw the little uncle beside him: "Stop Ge, doesn't it mean that only one person can be allowed to pass?" β
In this regard, Zhi Ge said irresponsibly: "I have only been here once, and I don't know why. β
At this time, Shen Changjun was carefully observing the surroundings, and his eyes were full of moon white, with a faint water blue in the backlight, and the magic circle was like a round ball, wrapping the fallen land in it, from which he could see all kinds of things under the sea. When the saint fell to this place, he floated in this sphere, and the luster of the pure luster seemed to tell the person who came to him that as a saint, even if he had fallen, his burial place was clean and dusty. Perhaps, he was so clear and dust-free and clear during his lifetime, but he didn't know why he fell here, and thus cut off the path of the True Law Realm Immortal Venerables to become holy, but no matter what tribulations he encountered, he left the only saint inheritance for the people in this realm before he fell.
Inexplicably, there was a faint sadness in the air, but it was not like a saint from the fallen body, but more like something else...... The emotions of other saints left here. Even from ancient times to the present, this sorrow has not dissipated, which shows how powerful this sorrow is, and how eternal the thoughts of the saints are. The sadness is not strong, but it is sad enough, but it does not shed tears, which is very peculiar.
"Here, that's it, where is the inheritance of the saints?" No matter how Qin Jing looked, he didn't think that anything could be hidden in this moon-white crystal, but if it was this moon-white spar itself, they didn't fluctuate at all, and they were silent like stars that were silent for eternity.
"You need to understand it yourself, although I know it, but I can't tell you." Of course, Zhi Ge knew that Aoshan Xianjun could break through this inheritance in one word, and he could clearly know that this inheritance did not belong to him, so he naturally knew where this inheritance was and how to get it.
Qin Jing came back from a circle, but she didn't find anything, so she didn't pay attention to it anymore, and sat directly on the moon white spar that she thought was likely to be the "remains" or "relics" of the saint. I have to say that this spar is quite beautiful, and it is easy to remind Qin Jing of the legendary Crystal Heavenly Palace. What kind of person would still turn into such a beautiful spar after encountering misfortune, and still leave the only inheritance for the beings in the True Law Realm who might have given him misfortune, forgive Qin Jing for being poisoned too much, and always feel that this saint is worthy of admiration, but also a little stupid.
Why should you be so nice to the people who have hurt you, they are obviously sorry for you, and you leave them with a glimmer of life. There is a saying that does not exist in the true Dharma realm, but it sums it up very well, and it is also said by a sage - repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue.
"Uncle Junior, how about repaying grievances with virtue?" Qin Jing suddenly wondered how Shen Changjun would answer the question that the sage had given the answer to.
Shen Changjun: "In the world, if you don't repay grievances with virtue, you can fully offset them, small grievances don't get rid of them, and big grievances don't stay to be safe." β
The grievances of immortal cultivators were already heavy, and Shen Changjun's answer was reasonable, but in this way, Qin Jing felt that neither of them had the opportunity to obtain the inheritance of a saint, because the two of them could not reach the realm of a saint at all. Even if Qin Jing is half a beat slow, if she has a grudge against her, she will never forget it easily, and precisely because she is half a beat slow, it is likely that others can't remember why she offended her, she coldly whipped a stick and made people dizzy. As for Shen Changjun, not to mention, this person who has always had grievances and never stayed overnight, after all, he is a strong man.
Whether it was Shen Changjun or Qin Jing, both of them were quite self-aware, and they looked at each other for a long time, and they both had a little bit of the understanding that it was useless for them to come. And Zhi Ge also said that there was danger, but until they came in, they have not encountered any danger, or is there indeed a danger when Aoshan Immortal Jun came, but after countless years have passed, that danger has disappeared?
"It's not gone."
"Where's that?"
"I can't say."
Qin Jing really wanted to pinch Zhi Ge, but it was her who picked it up and her hand hurt, Qin Jing suddenly asked Zhi Ge again: "Why did this saint fall here?" β
Zhi Ge: "In ancient times, before the fall of this saint, the saint had a close relationship with the monks and immortals in the True Law Realm, and was very generous, but there were many people in the world who were greedy enough to repay virtue. Although the strength of the saint is far above that of the Immortal Venerable, but without defense, even if he is a saint, he can only fall here, and the Immortal Monarch only knows this. Since there have been monks in the True Dharma Realm, how many people and things have been erased in the long flow of time, and that saint has fallen and cut off the inheritance of the saints in the True Dharma Realm, if the traces are not erased, the monks and immortals who participated in it will be left behind forever, and they and their descendants are likely to become street rats that everyone will be punished. β
Qin Jing thought to herself that if she were this saint, she would not leave such a legacy to the True Law Realm, so that the people in this realm would never be able to achieve the Great Dao. The malice in human nature, sometimes there is really no way to eliminate, the Three Character Sutra says that human nature is inherently good, but in modern times there is a research report that human nature is actually inherently evil. What really makes people good is the existence of law and morality in human society, as well as the social order and universal values that human beings produce in the activities of human society, which are the reasons for people to be good. This goodness comes from self-restraint, self-restraint, and once the existence of something breaks this self-restraint, it is all too natural that malice will appear.
Even Qin Jing has read such a passage, most people have never been evil, because they have no capital to do evil. However, does there really exist such a person, who still remains sober and self-restrained in the face of great temptations, and even if they have abundant capital, they still do not do evil. No, no, no, this is too ideal and naΓ―ve, even if Qin Jing feels that he is actually naΓ―ve, he still feels that this kind of person will not exist.
"Is that what he is? Or is it said that all saints are like this, doesn't it mean that the immortal venerable will be sanctified after crossing the tribulation, can it be said that there are more stringent conditions for sanctification, such as boundless love, God loves the world and so on. Qin Jing immediately shook her head, if this is the case, it is better for her not to become a saint, with her hardware, she really can't run the program of a saint.
"What kind of existence?" Shen Changjun asked Qin Jing.
"Even if the malice of the whole world is inflicted on him, he still has good intentions, even if he will not be responsible for evil and can get benefits, he will still not be evil, this saint may be such an existence." Qin Jing thought for a while, and said to Zhi Ge, "Why don't you go, do you think that becoming such a saint can really solve my troubles, if I get the inheritance of the only saint, I doubt that people will take my innate spiritual understanding, do I have to be happy to send people to the palm of my hand without knowing whether I am alive or dead." β
Qin Jing was leaving, and Shen Changjun saw that there was no change in the surroundings, and guessed a possibility, maybe someone had already come here to take away the only saint inheritance. After flying around and finding nothing, he nodded towards the Qin scenic spot and said, "In this case, let's go, before coming out, the senior brother told me that if you can't gain anything from this trip, I will take you to another secret realm." β
"It's okay, it's okay if you don't have fish or shrimp."
Just when the two of them were about to leave, suddenly there was a light cluster in the air that flashed a few times, as if it was looming, and it took a long time to condense the light curtain, and a moment later a person walked out of the light curtain, and there was no substance, more like a projection: "Slow." β
Zhi Ge: It should have appeared a long time ago, and in Xiao Ajing's mind, he thought, "Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" repay grievances with directness, repay virtue with virtue", this should have appeared.
"I didn't expect that there were two people, the spiritual power here was originally enough to support one person, and the two of you came in at the same time, causing a large loss of spiritual power in the magic circle, and I couldn't appear." Although that person was a projection, he seemed to be particularly intelligent, and Qin Jing didn't know why, he thought of artificial intelligence.
"You're the saint who fell here?" Qin Jing asked.
But I saw the man shaking his head: "No, I am a divine thought left by another person, and the reason why I left this divine thought is to wait for a crystal to open this only saint inheritance for you one day." We didn't want to see someone in the True Dharma Realm cross the tribulation and become holy, but this was his last wish, and we could only help him achieve it. β
"Where?"
The man didn't speak anymore, but waved his long sleeves, and in an instant, the huge moon white crystal turned out of the whirlpool like water, but in an instant, Qin Jing and Shen Changjun were all inhaled into it.
At this point, the danger and opportunity of the place where the saint fell really began.
And as soon as Qin Jing stood up, he was sure that what was standing in front of him was the saint who had fallen here, dressed in plain white and dustless, and his eyebrows were full of the bright moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which made people's eyes look clear and clear.
Qin Jing: Could it be that my aunt really received the good incense I burned? It's really undisciplined!
