Chapter 62: Cause and Effect
Since ancient times, Taoism has attached great importance to the matter of accepting disciples, not only to test the understanding of the intended person, but also to examine his heart.
It also has ten rules for not passing on the Tao and eight rules for accepting disciples. 1. The heart does not believe, does not believe in the avenue, is curious about the game, and does not accept those who are vain.
2. Those who are not rebellious, filial piety and righteousness, disobedient to their relatives and elders, and who have betrayed their family and country will not be accepted.
3. Those who do not have the right heart, only seek supernatural powers, move charms and spells, and vainly ask for gods and ghosts will not accept them.
Fourth, the heart is not pure, so as to seek fame and fortune, to bewitch sentient beings, and those who use art to lust will not accept it.
Fifth, the heart is not good, does not pity the weak and suffering, hurts the characters, and does evil deeds will not be accepted.
Sixth, the mind is uncertain, frivolous and arrogant, does not wait for inheritance, and those who hold the law of stealing will not accept it.
Seventh, the heart is not strong, impatient asceticism, learning but not cultivating, wasted time will not be accepted.
8. The heart is not solid, the Tao is not specialized, it is good to participate in the foreign way, and the half-hearted person will not accept it.
A series of restrictions make Taoism have a long history, but it is not famous. In addition, Taoist people are basically far away from the world, eager to become immortals, and do not reveal themselves in front of the world at all.
Wen Cai's words seemed to open a door for everyone, and Qiusheng also slapped and shouted.
"That's right, Master, he is a knife-mouthed tofu heart. As the saying goes, where there is a way, there is a way, and in the evening, I will blow the wind in the ears of the master with Wen Cai, and I believe that the master will definitely accept you."
"And more importantly, ......".
Qiusheng paused, a self-righteous face.
"Master, he didn't let you avoid it when he taught me and Wencai, if you just stood aside, I believe that Master should not drive you away."
Qiusheng's words can be regarded as a wake-up call for himself, in the past month or two, every time Uncle Jiu taught Qiusheng Wencai, he took the initiative to go out in order to avoid suspicion. In order not to let Uncle Nine think that he is a stealing teacher, so as not to affect his status in Uncle Nine's heart.
It's just that although Qiusheng's words have some truth, but Chen Feng also has to take a lot of risks, after all, I don't know what Uncle Nine thinks in his heart, once he really steals the teacher to learn the arts, will Uncle Nine drive him directly? If it comes to this point, he will definitely no longer be able to worship Uncle Jiu as a teacher.
Whether to do this or not, Chen Feng was very entangled in his heart. After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Feng felt that he still couldn't listen to Qiusheng's words. There are still those who do, and I hope that my sincerity can move Uncle Jiu.
However, I also need the help of Qiusheng Wencai here, and I believe that with the two of them talking, I will be much easier.
After dinner, Chen Feng sat alone in the courtyard, holding a Taoist book in his hand, and read it with relish. As for Qiusheng and Wencai, they followed Uncle Nine to the morgue in the backyard and fiddled with the corpses.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Chen Feng reluctantly closed the book in his hand, put it back in its place, and stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moonlight in the sky.
Since the whole world has just entered the industrial era, although there are a lot of industrial exhaust gases floating in the atmosphere, the night sky at this time can still be clearly visible to the naked eye.
A full moon hangs in the sky, surrounded by stars. The faint moonlight shines in the courtyard, bringing a touch of freshness to this still hot summer, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Chen Feng, who was standing in the courtyard, looked at the full moon in the sky, and was poetic for a while, but unfortunately he had no article in his chest, so he could only watch it.
"Chen Feng, Master told you to go to the backyard."
The footsteps of Qiusheng Wencai and the others went from far to near, and finally stopped behind Chen Feng.
Hearing Qiusheng's law, Chen Feng couldn't help but be stunned, and there were some corpses parked in the backyard. Usually I came here to avoid suspicion, and secondly, I really didn't want to see those corpses, so I wouldn't go there at all, I don't know why Uncle Nine called himself to the backyard today.
Wen Cai looked at Chen Feng with some doubts, lowered his head and lowered his voice, "I just told Qiusheng about what you want to apprentice to, but the master didn't make it clear, just asked you to go to the backyard." When the time comes, if you say more good things, I believe that Master will accept you."
Seeing that this matter had improved, Chen Feng's face couldn't help but be happy, and then he bent down deeply and saluted the two of them.
Since Uncle Nine asked him to go to the backyard, whether it was due to his apprenticeship or not, the words of Qiusheng Wencai and the others definitely played a major role. This is a glimmer of hope for themselves, and on this alone, the two of them can afford their own great gifts.
"Thank you for your kind words and help, the younger brother will definitely be rewarded in the future."
"Okay, I've eaten your meal for more than two months, and I can't talk about this little thing. You hurry up, don't let the master wait in a hurry."
Qiusheng waved his hand and hurriedly asked Chen Feng to go to Uncle Jiu. Chen Feng also knew that this matter could not be delayed, his eyes showed a look of gratitude, looked at the two, and then turned around and walked quickly towards the backyard.
Uncle Jiu's Yizhuang covers a large area, and it is said that it was specially approved by the mayor of Renjia Town. However, for the sake of taboo, Yizhuang was established outside the town, after all, the superstition of the Chinese has not been broken since ancient times, and the dead are not to be talked about.
The backyard is a little more eerie than the front yard, especially in this world with ghosts. As soon as Chen Feng stepped into the backyard, he felt a little cold all over his body, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him in the dark, and the hairs on his whole body were about to stand up.
This feeling is still when I was in the Bright Sword World, I met a Japanese sniper, this person's skills are very good, and he can even fight with his bare hands, and he was killed by nine deaths at that time.
looked in the courtyard, and did not find the figure of Uncle Jiu, but a figure flashed in the room in front of him, and all the corpses parked in it were corpses.
"I don't know how many devils and traitors Lao Tzu killed, and I'm still afraid of you."
Chen Feng muttered secretly in his heart, and walked into the morgue with courage.
The morgue is a morgue, and the smell inside is really not something that ordinary people can stay in, although it is covered by the smell of incense and candles, but Chen Feng, who has a keen sense of smell, still smells the smell of corpses in the air all of a sudden.
At this time, Uncle Nine was standing in front of a coffin, holding three sticks of incense in his hand, which was inserted in a small tripod in front of the coffin.
After seeing Chen Feng come in, Uncle Nine clapped his hands and walked towards Chen Feng.
"The environment here is a little scary, but I don't think you should feel scared."
Uncle Jiu's words made Chen Feng a little puzzled, was this going to take a look at his guts? After all, if you really want to succeed in apprenticeship in the future, you will inevitably come into contact with these ghosts, and the size of your courage is also an aspect.
It is said that wine is bold and courageous, as long as you are bold, Sadako will be on maternity leave.
According to his own understanding, Chen Feng said, "Although I feel a little hairy in my heart, it is still within the scope of bearing."
Uncle Nine looked Chen Feng up and down, with an incomprehensible smile on his face.
"Tell us about your experience? I'm sure your experience must have been wonderful"?
As he spoke, Uncle Nine lit three more incense sticks, came to another coffin, chanted softly in his mouth, and then inserted the three incense sticks into Xiaoding as before.
Chen Feng frowned, his previous words seemed to make Uncle Nine dissatisfied with him. It's just that I still don't know where I said it wrong, or what I did wrong.
Let yourself tell me about your experience, but the experience you have made up has basically been said, is it to let yourself say it again?
"The boy has fought, and more than a thousand have died at my hands. But I assure you that I do not have the blood of an innocent person in my hands."
Chen Feng knew that this was the last chance that Uncle Jiu gave him, and once he was still lying, it was very likely that he would really give up the idea of apprenticeship. directly told his experience in the Bright Sword World, but Chen Feng also played a cautious eye, only saying that he had fought.
"I have already seen this, although you have endless killing, but as an ordinary person, you still maintain your own spiritual intelligence, you can see that what you kill must be the most heinous."
"But I'm curious now, why do you have the cause and effect of the world in you?"
Chen Feng didn't understand what Uncle Nine meant by cause and effect? According to Buddhism, the repayment of debts in past lives in this life is a causal relationship. Could it be that it is still a debt from his past life?
