After a while, the chicks brought back the ghosts that had run away last night one by one. I asked them if they would like to go down and reincarnate, and they quickly agreed.

I told them all to stand in the array, and then pinched the three clear tips with my own hands: "Yang Qi Dongyuan is not hindered by the Lord, and it is clear that it is strong and liberating." Thousands of injustices and sins have been resolved, and the nine misfortunes and three disasters have been eliminated. Rush to pursue, hurry to scream. ”

I saw that the entire formation emitted a burst of dark blue light, and the ghosts in the middle of the formation seemed to see the way. One by one, they drifted southwest, and disappeared before they drifted far.

Infant Ling Xiaowen was the last to go, and it looked back at me before leaving: "Thank you, good people must be rewarded later, if I have an afterlife, I must be your apprentice in the next life." With that, it floated away.

When I saw that they were all gone, I was ready to pack up and go home with the chickens.

"You know it's going to be doomed." The chick ignored me and sat down next to me.

"I know that it has killed so many people, and it will have to suffer for at least tens of thousands of years before it has a chance to be reincarnated. And it's not necessarily about being human. "I saw that the chick wanted to talk to me and took a cigarette out of his pants bag.

"I'm curious, you said that people eat other lives in order to live, is this good or evil?"

"Of course it's good, people just need to eat meat to replenish their energy in order to extend their lives."

"It's right for people to eat other lives in order to survive, so why is it a scourge for other things to eat people in order to survive?" The chick also conjured up a cigarette and put it in its mouth.

"This. Man is the spirit of all things, and naturally he cannot be harmed. ”

"That's just from a human standpoint. What if you look at it from the standpoint of something else? Chick didn't seem satisfied with my answer.

I felt like I couldn't answer the chick's question, so I just buried my head in my cigarette.

"I remember that the Tao Sutra said that all things are equal, since they are equal. Why can you eat meat and not you? The chick continued to question me. I remained silent.

In fact, good and evil are not something that can be explained by a single word. For example, if a soldier catches a thief, if there is no thief, then what do you want a soldier to do? If everything is good, then people can't tell what is good and what is evil. ”

"As the saying goes, the extreme of things must be reversed, the white side will become black when it reaches the limit, and the black side will become white when it reaches the limit. There is black in white, and there is white in black, so that right and wrong can be distinguished, good and evil. ”

The chick took a puff of her cigarette and continued into my silence.

"There is no absolute right or wrong, everyone is in a different position. I see it differently, just like a sentence I heard before: ghosts look at people, and the world is full of ghosts; The Buddha sees people with his eyes, and all the people in the world are Buddhas. ”

Hearing the chicken's words woke me up at once, as if the world I saw was different from before. That's right, why did the former self have to distinguish good and evil so clearly? In fact, I don't know what is really right or wrong.

The chick looked at me as if she understood something, and continued: "Everyone has their own story, before you know what other people think. It's best not to jump to conclusions. Heaven is evil, but it is still alive; and thou shalt not live. ”

"It's like a lot of people don't understand ghosts, so they say that ghosts only harm people. Why is that? The chick looked at me, hoping I could give him an answer.

Hearing the chick's words, I fell into deep thought. "How so? The times create heroes, and if you don't follow the general trend, you are destined to be eliminated. Ghosts and the like just appear in legends, and this society doesn't need them anymore. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "It's like the Daomen, why did the Daomen fall. Because there are too many people in the world who deceive the world and steal their reputation, they will smear the reputation of the Daomen. Therefore, the ancestors would rather lose the Dao than pass it on to a person with a bad heart. All this just casts a veil of mystery over Taoism. ”

"Because it is too mysterious, people will have a sense of fear and distance, which leads to people's misunderstanding of Taoism. If you look at Buddhism, all kinds of people on TV will accept it as long as they are willing to put down the butcher's knife. This gives people a sense of closeness. Naturally, Buddhism became stronger. "I gave an answer that I felt was right.

"Then I'll ask you again, humans eat beasts, and demons eat people. What is right and what is wrong. The chick asked me questions like a child.

"Actually, from people's point of view, people are right, yokai don't belong to this era anymore. And from the point of view of the yokai, people have driven them out of their homes for survival, and they also need food. So, I can't comment on right or wrong. However, at least I can keep my original intention and not kill innocents indiscriminately. ”

I sighed and said all the words from the bottom of my heart. The chick nodded in satisfaction and said to me, "Remember what you said!" At least you can keep your original intention! ”

As she spoke, the chick patted me on the shoulder. I looked up at the sky, looked at the starry sky, and suddenly asked the chicken, "Why don't you say those legendary immortals have appeared?" ”

"You're so funny, what are you daydreaming in the middle of the night, why do the gods manifest themselves?" The chick was visibly amused by my topic, clutching her stomach and laughing.

I shook my head and said to the chick very seriously, "No, I'm not talking about the gods and Buddhas. I'm talking about a different kind of immortal. ”

"Immortals are immortals, how many kinds are there? If we don't show our spirit, we don't show our spirit, what does it matter to us. Do you have a fever? The chick jumped up and reached out to my forehead.

"In many ancient books, I can see some powerful people who are called 'living gods' and are worshipped. What they do is also to persuade people to do good, and they also show their spirits to help others from time to time. And now, who do you think still believes in those? And those immortals who have ever appeared again. ”

I pushed the chick's hand away, my eyes looking into the distance, the cigarette in my hand being spun quickly by itself.

"What do you mean by that? Don't be crepe, I don't understand. Is it okay to talk to people? "Chicks weren't interested in my tirade and protested.

"Actually, what I want to say is nine words." I turned my head to look at the chick and said one word at a time: "God, born of the human heart." Died of humanity. ”

Chick was shocked by what I said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How did God come into being in the human heart, and how could he die because of human nature? ”

"In the past, people's hearts were relatively simple, and they naturally felt that there were gods watching them by their side. Therefore, if you want to do good, others think about why they want to do good, and they say that the gods point out, and naturally there are often immortals appearing. Now people are busy earning money to buy a house, and no one has the leisure time to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, so the gods around them have also disappeared with the change of human nature, and it can be said that they have died. ”

When the chick heard me say this, he fell silent.

After a long time, I stood up and patted the dust off my buttocks.

"Let's go, let's go home, and do things worthy of our conscience."

"Okay, let's go home."
