458 Be a merciful person and do charity

The host sat down and served fragrant tea. The Taoist priest said: "Poor Dao Qing Xuanzi is the first disciple of Gu Yun Zhenren, and he is currently the abbot of Tianyun Temple. ”

He said with a straight face: "My master is not a bad person! ”

The little Taoist nodded: "Daoist Gu Yun is naturally not a bad person. ”

Pointing to the outside, the little Taoist priest said, "Listen, this city is full of crying." Of course, a person who is so admired by the people is not a bad person. ”

He sighed, "People have Buddha nature and demon nature. It's just that at some point, the demonic nature in the human body will overwhelm the Buddha nature. So even the best people make mistakes. ”

Qing Xuanzi muttered: "People have Buddha nature and demon nature, this is very true!" ”

He arched his hand: "Poor Dao, thank you Brother Dao for keeping my master's posthumous name." ”

The little Taoist priest smiled: "There is no need to thank you. Poor Dao is also a Taoist, and naturally hopes that there is a place between heaven and earth where the people can respect the Taoist priest as a god. Poor Dao hopes that the next time he walks on the streets of Jiangzhou, Poor Dao can be admired by the people again. ”

"Fellow Daoists, I think the monks of Bailong Temple back then were also dedicated to goodness and were deeply loved by the people. But in the end, because of his evil, he completely collapsed overnight. A lesson from the past, it can be a teacher for Tianyun to view the future! ”

Qing Xuanzi said solemnly: "Brother Dao's warning, poor Dao will remember it in his heart, and he will not dare to forget it." ”

"It is precisely because of the deep fear of this, so the first teacher stipulated that in the Tianyun Temple, one must not easily recruit Taoist children, so as not to mix fish and dragons. Second, there must be no surplus wealth, and wealth is easy to move. The three must not do evil things, the small evil will be punished, and the big evil will be expelled from the view immediately. With these three iron rules, I can visualize that I can clean myself in this turbid world. ”

The little Taoist priest praised: "Daoist Gu Yun is really insightful!" ”

Qing Xuanzi sighed: "My master has always been a good person. The reason why he showed no mercy to the monks of the White Dragon Temple was because he hated the monks the most in his life. ”

"When my master was young, his family was a tenant of a large temple. The monks there are also outwardly dignified, but secretly they are doing all the bad things. One year, there was a great drought, and the harvest was out of harvest for thousands of miles, and the government in the city opened a warehouse, and the rich households gave porridge, but those monks refused to reduce even a grain of rice. There was no way, his family could only borrow money from the monk's seal. But in three months, the profits will roll, and it will never be paid back. ”

The monk came to force the debt, and his family had no choice but to sell their sons and daughters. My master's eldest brother and second brother were sold in this way. But I still can't pay it off. Looking at the last son, his parents were so angry that they sold everything in the family, took the money and told my master to run away and run for his life. ”

"My master hated it very much, and when he heard that the priests and monks did not deal with each other, he entered the Taoist temple and became a Taoist child. After a few years, when he saved some money and returned home, he learned that on the night he escaped, his father and mother both hanged themselves. ”

"Since then, my master has hated all the monks in the world. Especially when I found out that a tenant under the White Dragon Temple was almost exactly the same as what happened to him back then, my master couldn't control it anymore, and it aroused monstrous murderous thoughts. Because of this, he used the Nine Yin Companion Moon Great Array. ”

"Nine Yin with the Moon Great Array," the little Taoist frowned: "This magic array, where did you inherit the Tianyun View?" ”

Qing Xuanzi shook his head: "This matter is really unclear. ”

"It is said that Poor Dao has been with Master for the longest time, more than 30 years. In the past 20 years, my master and apprentice have actually lived extremely poor. Because of what happened to Master when he was a child, he couldn't see others suffering. But what you have, you always want to use it to help others. And at that time, although the master had some Taoism, he was really not a master, and his income was naturally not much. So many times, the life of the master and apprentice is really miserable. ”

"Until 12 years ago, one night, a villager asked Master to go and hunt ghosts. As soon as the master heard it, he knew that the ghost was very powerful, and he was by no means an opponent. He refused to go, but he could not withstand the pleading of the villagers, so he locked me in my room and went alone. ”

"That night, Master almost died. At the critical moment, a Taoist priest saved him. When the Taoist priest saw that my master knew that he was going to die, he was very moved, so he gave me a sum of money and left with him. ”

"After four years, when the master came back, he had already learned all the skills, and he had also learned the Nine Yin Companion Moon Great Array. Soon, the master made a great name and took in eleven apprentices. Since then, Master has devoted himself to teaching us, especially practicing the Great Array. ”

"When the time came, Master took twelve of us to Jiangzhou and began to lay out to deal with the White Dragon Temple."

"After the fall of the White Dragon Temple, my Tianyun Temple became famous. Under the leadership of Master, my brothers and sisters have devoted themselves to goodness and have done countless good deeds in the past few years. But he also did an evil thing, that thing was to drive away ghosts and kill some masters of the rivers and lakes. ”

"We have always had great trust in Master. He told us that they should be killed, and we followed him and cast a spell. But after the killing, I realized that those people were all good people. Especially the Jiangnan hero, who is bold and righteous, is really a rare hero in the world. And when we killed these people, we actually helped the Dragons. In Jiangzhou City, how can we not know what the Crazy Dragon Gang is doing. ”

"That time, Master and I had a big fight. Only then did I realize that Master was far from being as perfect as I imagined, and that he had already colluded with the Dragons. But what kind of goods are the people of the Crazy Dragon Gang, lawless, and evil. At least three or four out of ten of the people I usually help have been bullied by the Dragons. Some of these evil deeds sounded so outrageous that they could not be immediately thundered from heaven and smashed those beasts to ashes. So who would have thought that my Tianyun View, the most good place in the mouth of the people of Jiangzhou, actually has a deep relationship with the Crazy Dragon Gang, the extremely evil place in the mouth of the people of Jiangzhou! I can't accept that. And my juniors and disciples are also difficult to understand. ”

This time, the dragon slaughter order, Jiangzhou City cheered. On weekdays, the rampant and domineering Dragon Gang all walked with their tails between their legs, and the people of Jiangzhou, who usually did not dare to be angry or even dare to speak, cheered one by one, and everyone applauded, saying that the fall of the Dragon Gang was imminent. And some of the news I got also said that the Dragon Gang has been defeated in successive battles, and its vitality has been greatly damaged, and it will overturn tomorrow. ”

"But at this moment, Master wants us to go to Ganghwa Island."

"What are you going to do on Ganghwa Island, do you need to talk about it? This time, Master and I had another big fight. In a fit of rage, Master beat me and locked me up. At that time, I still thought to myself, this is fine, the Nine Yin Companion Moon Great Array is without me, and the power will inevitably be greatly reduced. At that time, the heroes on Ganghwa Island will fight for a glimmer of life, and some people will always escape. ”

"But the result of the incident was completely unexpected, in the battle of Ganghwa Island, the heroes were unscathed, and the master died tragically on the spot. I couldn't believe it, but it's true! ”

"All of this is because of you, and the sky is long."

The little Taoist priest sighed: "I'm sorry. ”

Qing Xuanzi smiled bitterly: "It's a great luck in misfortune, the master was attacked by a powerful ghost and died at the hands of the ghost." Otherwise, the teacher's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and this kindness must be repaid. Even if you are right, Daoist, and Master is wrong, my brothers and sisters in Tianyunguan have no choice but to meet you in life and death! ”

The little Taoist priest nodded: "I can understand." ”

Qing Xuanzi's expression was complicated, and he was silent for a while before he continued: "After Master left suddenly, I have often wondered in the past two days whether there is any heavenly retribution in this world. If he said no, what the master wanted to do was indeed a big mistake, and as a result, he reaped the consequences of his own life, and was sucked into the world by the ghosts he raised. But if there is, Master acted in his life, and 99 out of 100 things were right, and he only did three or four wrong things, but he died so miserably! ”

"What is this Heavenly Dao? What is this retribution? Hey, I don't understand, I don't understand! ”

The little Taoist priest sighed: "Buddhists talk about karma, but there are countless monks in the world, how many people can really understand this karma?" Why should Taoist friends cling to this? As long as he adheres to his heart and is dedicated to goodness, what retribution are he afraid of? ”

Qing Xuanzi nodded: "What Brother Dao said is extremely true, it is the poor Dao who is persistent. ”

The little Taoist priest asked, "What's the matter with the ghost card?" ”

Qing Xuanzi shook his head: "The poor road is not clear. This ghost card suddenly appeared on the master half a year ago, and the master fed it with a secret method every day, hoping to refine it into a ghost servant. About ten days ago, Master had summoned the ghost out, but he narrowly failed to control it, and almost devoured himself. We only thought that until we were absolutely sure, Master would never sacrifice this Yin Soul. But who would have expected that he would do whatever it takes, take risks, and finally end up dying miserably! ”

The little Taoist priest sighed: "That night, the poor Dao actually just wanted to break the magic circle. Without the help of the magic circle, the Wild Dragon Gang will definitely be destroyed. Once the Crazy Dragon Gang is wiped out, what Tianyunguan does on weekdays, will it still be unfavorable to the people of Jiangzhou? Poor Dao really doesn't have the heart to fight for life and death with the respected teacher. ”

Qing Xuanzi nodded: "Poor Dao believes what Brother Dao said." ”

The little Taoist priest got up: "The Crazy Dragon Gang has been rampant in Jiangnan for many years and has amassed a lot of wealth. After being uprooted this time, those belongings also have a share of my husband and wife, and I think there will be a thousand taels of silver. In a few days, there will be a knight dressed in white named Du Chunshui who will come to Tianyunguan. He will give you the money. This is what Poor Dao has done with the help of Tianyunguan to make up for the people of Jiangzhou who have suffered over the years. ”

Qing Xuanzi got up, arched his hand, and said: "Since Brother Dao can trust my Tianyun Temple, and entrust such a large amount of money, my Tianyun Temple will live up to the trust, and every penny of it will be used for the people." ”

"Poor Dao for the people of Jiangzhou, thank you Brother Dao for his great kindness!"

The little Taoist priest waved his hand and said meaningfully: "We are cultivators, we are compassionate people, we do charitable deeds, and we can seek inner freedom, joy, and tranquility. As long as you keep the heart of the Dao, you can keep it for a lifetime. Anything else, why care! ”

"The heart of the hope of the Taoist friend of the day will always be the heart of the day. In this way, it must be the blessing of Jiangzhou, and it is the blessing of Tianyunguan! ”

After speaking, he arched his hand, and the little Taoist priest left in style.

Out of Jiangzhou City, the little Taoist priest reined in his horse and looked back with a light sigh.

White Dragon Temple, Tianyun Temple, and the Crazy Dragon Gang, how entangled are the grievances?

Thankfully, it's all settled!

Go to Lin'an, Lin'an City, what is waiting for you?
