Foreword: Seeing you is like seeing morality.

(Inside the right hall)

"Master, have you been feeling better these days?" Gu handed over a cup of tea.

Right Si smiled and said, "It's much better." ”

"I heard Ting'er say that the Spirit Master Gate is holding a recruitment event, and it's not lively outside. ”

"Master is right, it is being held in the Lingshimen Factory. The elder brother presided over the selection there. ”

"It's bustling outside, let him be lively, it's not my old man's business. ”

"Master, if you want to go shopping, Gu will accompany you. ”

"No, it's time for me to leave the affairs of the Spirit Master Sect to Nian. ”

"Senior Brother is broad-minded and self-sacrificing, and such a character will definitely not disappoint Master's expectations. ”

"When people get old, maybe they won't fight with things like that anymore, no matter whether Nian does well or not, I am determined to entrust him with the matter of the Spirit Master Gate Guardian Temple. ”

"People need to be experienced, and if they blindly protect and don't let go, then things will not be successful, but counterproductive. ”

"That's exactly what Master said. ”

"However, Nian is indeed a person I have always valued, and in the end, he is a person who is destined for me. ”

"Master, I haven't heard you talk about the past of Senior Brother, today, you can take this opportunity to talk about Senior Brother. ”

"Speaking of the encounter with Nian, it is really a fate. ”

"It's been more than a decade, but now I think about it. ”

"More than ten years ago, I went down to the mountain to conduct an investigation of the spirit seed, which is a duty as a spirit master, and there will be such an action every three years, and the spirit master will be scattered all over the country to inspect the spirit seeds that appear in various mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and find out whether their numbers are normal and whether the surrounding ecology is dynamically balanced. If there is an imbalance state, the spirit master will use artificial methods to adjust the imbalance of the spirit seed. If new spirit seeds are discovered, they are recorded in a copy file for future generations to see. ”

"With this in mind, I came to a mountain in the south, and it was a beautiful place, and I could hear the sound of flowing water, as if I could see the splash of water with my eyes closed. Not far ahead, there is a large bamboo forest, and the crisp sound of birds can be heard from the bamboo forest. Every now and then, a breeze blows, and the friction between the bamboos creates a wonderful sound. At that time, at this moment, it was a long-lost comfort for me. ”

"I carried the wooden box on my back, looked at this scenery for a while, and entered the depths of the bamboo forest, the mountain spring water was near me, and I was a little thirsty, so I took some clear spring water to drink, and the taste was extremely sweet. It was then that I heard the sound of the notes, subtle but clear. ”

"That sound has a sense of being in touch with nature, and it brings me a kind of peace of mind, and I was very curious to find out where this sound came from. So, with the help of subtle tones, I kept searching in the depths of the bamboo forest. Then, over a small hill, I saw Nian, that was the beginning of fate. ”

At that time, he was wearing a green robe, but he looked like a fairy, the long green sleeves had been falling in the turquoise grass, his clothes were neat and beautiful, his face was clean and distinct, he carried a bamboo basket on his shoulder, and wore a bamboo hat on his head. The slender hand held a bamboo leaf and blew the tune I loved. He didn't notice me, and I didn't bother him, he continued to perform, and I continued to listen. ”

"Experiencing that music deeply is like listening to Zhuangzi's natural principles, like a dream, endless. ”

"Later, when Nian spotted me, he stopped his tone and kept looking at me. He didn't speak. ”

"I wanted to say something, but I felt that every word I said would break the silence and beauty. So, he didn't speak. ”

"I just made a gesture to him from a distance to show my fate. ”

Nian nodded to me slightly, turned away, and slowly disappeared from my sight. ”

"You also know that the spirit master is outside, it is common to sleep in the open air, that evening, it rained heavily in the bamboo forest, and the rain turned the mountain spring into a torrent, I had no choice but to keep walking to the heights, I wanted to find a hole to hide from the rain, but all around, it was pitch black, and I couldn't find a place to hide from the rain. ”

"Just when I was at a loss, a faint light caught my eye, at first I thought it was some kind of glowing spirit seed, but then I learned that it was indeed a real light, and slowly I could see clearly the light of the candle flame in the lantern echoing left and right, and then I saw a hand on the lantern, and then I saw the face of Nian more closely. ”

He didn't explain his intentions, didn't say superfluous words, just said and went with him. I nodded, followed him, climbed over the muddy hills, saw a glowing window, and then I entered the house where he lived. ”

"The room was made of bamboo, and although it was simple, it was very sturdy, and it did not shake or drip in the wind and rain. In the middle there is a cut-out place, which is specially used to make a fire. I took off my soaked coat and made a fire, and he came and handed me a cup of hot tea and said, 'The rain in the bamboo forest is more damp and cold, so take a sip of hot tea to ward off the cold.' ’”。

Those were his first words of concern to me, and I realized that he was not an indifferent person. Moreover, in the middle of the night in the bamboo forest, meeting him again was not accidental, but his action, which came from his kindness and concern. ”

That night, I chatted with him for a long time, and most of the content of the conversation was about moral principles, spiritual teachers, and spiritual seeds. Most of the time I said, he asked. But when it comes to explaining the moral principles of the world, he is endless. He believes that there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved with good intentions, and at the same time punishes those who violate righteousness, and he advocates that there is both good and legal aspects. ”

Later, when talking about why he lived here, he said that he was disgusted with the outside world, and did not want to be a worldly person, but just wanted to live quietly and peacefully, not known by the outside world, nor bound by worldly fame and fortune, and willing to be a reclusive person, guarding this pure land and holy land. ”

"I told him, the big hidden in the city, you live in the mountains and forests, just a small hidden. If you continue to live in seclusion here, you will only let yourself have no talents, and you will not be able to achieve your ambitions. If a party stays in the Pure Land for a long time, it will also be polluted by the resentment that gradually arises. ”

His reaction was to be silent, probably thinking. ”

"When I was about to leave the next day, he packed his bags and said to me, 'I want to go with you and see the scenery outside, and if it is true that morality is in the world, as you say, then I will follow you.' ’”。

And so, the two of them set out together. ”

"The two of us walked for three days and came to another place. The environment there is just the opposite of the environment in which Nian lives, whether it is the mountains or the villages, there is a lot of anger everywhere, and I can see clearly, and I know that there is a problem with the distribution of spiritual seeds there. When they visited the villages, all the families were dumb and could not speak. ”

"It is a spirit seed called 'Ting', this spirit seed has two sides, it lives in a mountain spring, when the mountain spring water is clear, it will further purify the water source and improve the water quality, but if the water source is polluted, this spirit seed will further deteriorate the water quality. When a person drinks unclean water, there is a huge harm. ”

"To find out the cause, I first coordinated the distribution of the spirit seeds flying around, removed the root cause of the harm, then remediated the water source, improved the water quality, and finally, began to treat the mute disease of each family from house to house. Since there were hundreds of families in the village, I was constantly working under a high load, and when the last family was treated, I breathed a sigh of relief, and while my body relaxed, I instantly collapsed and fell to the ground. ”

"Nian, hurriedly lifted me up and said to me, 'Why do you want to save everyone without regard for yourself?' I told him, 'For the sake of morality. He replied to me: 'Is there any moral result for you?' Is it good that you have saved others? True goodness should be remembered by others, and what is the reason for such goodness not to be remembered by others? ’”。

"I shook my head and said to him in a weak voice: 'After the small good, the great good. Xiao Shan may be easily forgotten by others, but Xiao Shan will make people feel that this world is still warm, there is still human affection, and it is not dark everywhere. That's what the living want to see. ’”。

"After I finished speaking, the people in the village who had been treated by me came to thank me, some of them were holding steamed buns, some were holding eggs, and some were simply holding chickens. They were all huddled around, scrambling to be the first to reach me. I have seen the most simple people, the most amiable and warm people. ”

"That night, the enthusiastic villagers also placed me in the best house in the village. It was also on that night that Nian said to me, 'What is the true goodness, I am now confused, but I am in you, I see the direction, and today, I ask you to accept me as a disciple.' I will follow you all the way. ’”。

"So, in order to find the place of goodness, Nian has followed me all the way to the present, and now he has become the hall master and great protector of the Spirit Master Gate, and has become my proudest disciple, but I don't know if he has found the answer he is seeking. ”

"Master, Senior Brother has been pursuing, his pursuit is like your fate with him, from one side to the other, to meet again, to understand each other, it is a great fate. The goodness that the senior brother is looking for will eventually find his destined fate in his persistence along the way. ”

"Yes, I never believed in fate when I didn't meet him, and since I met him, I hope that his morality can find the answer he expects in fate. ”
