Chapter 735: Niu Shumei

Hui Chu said: "But natural disasters are inevitable, and we can't listen too much to the destiny of heaven is not ......."

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hehe, you girl, what you say is right, you always have different opinions with others......"

Xuan Chu smiled: "Of course, these people, even if they make up a story, they must also make up a name and a surname, who can make this story without a name and surname, without this person's head, it must be easier to be trusted by a name......

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Hahaha, whatever you want when the apprentice is happy, you can follow it, anyway, the master leads you into the door, and the cultivation is personal, how you think it is your business, and this is also your cause and effect......

Xuan Chu said, "Well, Master, I don't know if we were not discussing this issue just now, it seems to be another issue?" ”

Lu Dongbin smiled: "What's the problem? "This girl, I usually like to listen to stories the most, how can I tell a story today but can't dispel it, what about the curiosity in her heart? I'm afraid that if he continues to ask like this, sooner or later I will have to know her life experience clearly.

Xuan Chu said: "What I just said is whether there are bad people in the Heavenly Palace? ”

This question has been bothering me for a long time, when I saw Sirius-kun being taken away when I was a child, I thought it was a god in the sky, could it be a bad person?

Now that I appreciate the murder incident when I was Princess Zichen again, I always think about things too perfectly, and I feel that the gods are the kind of people who don't even dare to step on ants to death, how can they kill people.

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Is Niu Shumei a good person or a bad person?" ”

Chu said: "Naturally a good person......

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Where there are good people, are there no bad people?" ”

Chu suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, by the way, Niu Shumei, what happened later?" ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Mr. Niu Shumei was greatly surprised, and from then on, he believed in the truth of ghosts and gods, and worked harder to be a good official, and later he was promoted to the Sichuan Inspectorate." ”

Xuan Chu said: "This story allows us to appreciate the magic and horror of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and karma and retribution, which is really incredible. Is there really such a person? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Regarding Niu Shumei, there are indeed people in history. Niu Shumei (1791~1875), the word Xueqiao, the number of the province Zhai, Gansu Tongwei, Daoguang 21 years of Jinshi, once served as the magistrate of Zhangming County, Sichuan (now Jiangyou City), Maozhou Zhili Prefecture, Ningyuan Governor, Sichuan according to the inspection envoy and so on. ”

Xuan Chu said: "There is no basis for what you say, you have to have a record......

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Qing Historical Manuscript" said that it was clear and cautious in prison, the people were all hidden, and the local people called it Niu Qingtian, and also built a moral and political square for him, which still exists, is located in Qinglian Town, Jiangyou City, Sichuan, and has a history of more than 150 years. Niu Shumei served as the prefect of Ningyuan Prefecture in the 28th year of Daoguang (1848), which was under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province at that time, and governed Xichang (now Xichang City, Sichuan Province, which was the residence of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture). The earthquake occurred on the night of September 12, 1850, the 7th day of the 8th month of the 30th year of the Qing Dynasty, with a magnitude of about 7.5. According to the "Qing History Manuscript": Looking for the Ningyuan Prefect. There was a great earthquake, and the whole city was sunk, and many people were killed and wounded. The plum tree is pressed into the soil and is born. The Shu people say that the sky stays in the sky to persuade goodness. Shumei blames herself for being weak, and she can't shelter the people and benefit the province. Therefore, the relief of disasters is very generous, and the people wear it more and more. ”

Chu said: "Everything in the world has a cycle of cause and effect. "The lessons of the wheel of history remind us again and again that nature has followed one law for thousands of years, and that is ecological balance. Once this ecological balance is upset, humans will eventually pay for their actions. Therefore, there is no such thing as a natural disaster, everything is related to the cause and effect of the behavior of human beings or sentient beings, and the relationship between them is extremely esoteric and complex, subtle and difficult to know, and it is not something that ordinary people like us can speculate about. However, the story told by Master has given us a lot of useful enlightenment, which can help us better understand the operation of the Heavenly Dao burden, so that we can avoid evil and turn evil into blessing. ”

Lu Dongbin: "Some people say that people's blessings and misfortunes are inspired by good and evil, not by ghosts and gods. In fact, the Heavenly Dao is the law of the universe, but there are indeed ghosts and gods who are observing good and evil, and enforcing rewards and punishments, just as the laws of the world also need enforcement organs such as public prosecutors and laws, so there is no contradiction. The laws of the world can still escape punishment through various means, but the heavenly net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and the cause and effect, burden, and heavenly law in the underworld cannot be escaped, just like a couplet in the City God's Temple: The traitors in the yang world violate the heavens and harm the reason, and the yin division retribution is to let go of anyone throughout the ages. Through repentance of sins, accumulation of virtue and good deeds, you can transform the retribution, eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties, like the festival woman in the story, Lang Zhong and the old woman who sells oil balls, in the vast catastrophe, only can survive the disaster, this is the blessing of their virtue, is the so-called family of goodness, there will be more celebration. ”

Hui Chu said: "In reality, there are also many good men who have abstained from killing and releasing life, learned Taoism and practiced, or who are loyal, filial piety, righteousness, and philanthropy, and have avoided various disasters and accidents such as earthquakes, water and fire, car accidents, and air crashes. This world seems to be chaotic and random, but in fact, it is interlocking, and the Heavenly Dao bears the burden unpleasantly.

Born in today's world, people's hearts are drowning, customs are drowning, evil is pervasive, natural and man-made disasters are frequent, and when disasters occur, human life seems so small in front of nature. When we know the truth of the way of heaven and impermanence, why not cherish the rare human life and go to the path of learning and cultivating, why waste our lives on meaningless eating, drinking, intriguing, and chattering? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Although the burden of cause and effect is terrifying, it also provides us with opportunities and methods to change our fate. There is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves, and the retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow, and my life is made by me, and I ask for blessings. If the people of the world want to be safe and auspicious, only with reverence, believing in the cause and effect, changing the way and changing the good, abstaining from killing and releasing life, helping people and goods, accumulating merits, doing all evil, and pursuing all good, is the fundamental and right path, and must not be taken lightly. ”

"Disasters and diseases educate human beings to introspect, but we don't know enough about them to prevent and respond to them in time. May life be healthy and all things in harmony. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "There is no way to be a blessing or a curse, only people call themselves." The retribution of good and evil follows you like a shadow. "Asking for immortals and gods, praying for good luck is only superficial, and the real disaster elimination and blessing lies in self-cultivation and reform. A good person who has God in his heart, even if he does not worship God and seek immortals, will be blessed by heaven, and a vicious person who does a lot of evil will not be guarded by gods even if he is at the temple gate. ”

Chu said: "Then how can we ordinary people eliminate disasters and accumulate blessings? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "If you want to eliminate disasters and accumulate blessings, you must first change your self-cultivation." ”

Xuan Chu nodded, thinking that the master was really smart, and he avoided his problem at once.
