The next day, early in the morning...

Shen Bai didn't sleep all night, lying on the bed, he was thinking about a question: although he was determined to kill all the demons that harmed the world, people are humane, and ghosts have ghosts; The way of all things in this world is not determined by him.

From the client's point of view, no matter what, if her husband dies at the hands of an evil person, then this evil is evil. On the contrary, although it is not certain that it is a ghost made by the five gods, it is not far from ten, and it will not be some other evil thing.

Then for the Wutong God, everyone who is robbed of their life by it has made an equivalent transaction with it, which is the Tao of the Wutong God.

There was no persecution, just a choice, although it was not clear if it was explained in advance, but Shen Bai guessed that this Wutong God could have the nickname of the evil God of Wealth, and presumably would not make a fuss about this kind of issue - after all, not everyone who meets it does not trade with it, and there are always people who are consumed by lust and desire in exchange for life.

Shen Bai couldn't figure it out, if he imposed his own Tao on someone else's Tao, right? Or is it wrong?

Knock Knock Knock Knock ·

"Boss? Why don't you get up yet, didn't you say you should go to the client's side early today? Ye Qing had been waiting downstairs for a long time. Hua Tingyu's voice sounded outside the door, pulling Shen Bai back from this esoteric question.

Shen Bai sighed, and after answering, he got up from the bed, put on the shirt, jeans and black sneakers that he had prepared last night, and began to think about where the client's husband would put the statue, but there was always a trace of confusion in his heart......

What's right? What's wrong? Is there no truly firm and only way in this world? The question that Shen Bai thought in his heart was also something that many people who had not long embarked on the path of cultivation would think about.

But there is no right or wrong in anything in this world, just the perspective of the person who sees it is different. The answer to this question is actually very simple, as long as you stick to the righteousness in your heart, you can do it. But after Shen Bai watched "Mountain Spirit Strange Talk" written by Mr. Yin and Yang, he forced himself into a dead end, and he was a little bit of a bull.

After Shen Bai put on his clothes and went downstairs, the two people waiting downstairs looked at Shen Bai's bloodshot eyes and asked Shen Bai what was going on, but Shen Bai remained silent, just shaking his head and nodding.

Ye Qing frowned and didn't continue to ask, but Hua Tingyu had known Shen Bai for more than two years, and this was the first time he had seen Shen Bai with a confused expression that could not be dispersed, bloodshot eyes and a tired look, it must have been that he didn't close his eyes at night.

"Old... Great, what's wrong with you? I see you haven't slept all night, so why don't you give the woman a call and push it back. ”

Hua Tingyu looked at Shen Bai worriedly, but Shen Bai shook his head silently, said It's okay, let Hua Tingyu buy some breakfast, leave immediately after eating, and take the two to the client's house in F City. Hua Tingyu, who originally talked a lot on the road, was depressed by Shen Bai's emotions, and he didn't talk much.

After getting on the train to F City, Ye Qing, who had nothing to say all the way, spoke: "Shen Bai, since you have already speculated what this commission is going on yesterday, you shouldn't be bothered about the commission now, right?" Let's talk about it, maybe Fei Yu and I can help in some way. ”

Ye Qing was a little strange when he saw Shen Bai's unyielding appearance from the morning.

It is basically impossible to say that I am afraid that I will not be able to solve the speculated five gods. His Dao skills are not low, Shen Bai is even more burdened with the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Secret Law Dragon and Tiger Seven Edicts, although the Feiyu Dao method is average, it can even be said to be poor, but it should not be underestimated in terms of formation. The three of them have cooperated together, and they have already destroyed a yellow-eyed zombie, and these five gods can fight even if they say anything... So why did Shen Bai stay awake all night? Ye Qing didn't come up with a reason along the way, so he could only ask Shen Bai.

Shen Bai sighed, knowing that the two of them were worried about their current state, Fei Yu had no heart and lungs, it didn't matter if he didn't say what was going on, as long as it wasn't a big deal, it wouldn't be long before Fei Yu would forget about it.

But Ye Qing asked, Bai Ji couldn't be ambiguous. On the one hand, he became friends with Ye Qing during this time, and he knew Ye Qing's temperament: if he continued to hide it from Ye Qing, he would definitely feel that he didn't treat him as a friend.

On the other hand, Ye Qing grew up in Maoshan since he was a child, and he is also the personal disciple of the Punishment Elder, maybe Ye Qing can answer his doubts? As for Fei Yu's goods······ Don't mention it!" Ye Qing, do you still remember the information I found after the client left last night?" Shen Bai sighed and looked at Ye Qing.

"That book of "Mountain Spirits"? Does this have anything to do with your current situation?"

"Do you remember that the five gods mentioned in the book and the dead actually made a deal. And in this transaction, the Wutong God did not force the victim to use his life to trade, everything in the world has a Tao, which is the 'Tao' of the Wutong God. Shen Bai said that confusion had already appeared between his eyebrows.

Ye Qing looked at Shen Bai and said, "Then?"

"We use our own way to find trouble with the five gods, we have our own way, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the way of the five gods. I don't understand what kind of Tao is right and can be carried out to the end······" The look of confusion on Shen Bai's face deepened again.

Hua Tingyu scratched his head after listening to the conversation between the two beside Ye Qing and said, "Wow... Boss, your question is too profound! You don't have to think about this kind of problem so much, do you? Anyway, we open a firm to deal with supernatural events, and the client spends money to eliminate disasters, so let's just collect money and do things... You think about this question too... How can I say it, Ye Qing, you say, I can't turn a corner. ”

After Ye Qing was silent for a while, he chuckled: "Lao Bai, you think about the problem too complicated. As Fei Yu just said, isn't it a matter of loyalty to people when you open a firm? This is what you should implement, if you want to find a Tao that is absolutely correct, just like the standard answer to the exam questions, I can only advise you to die, there is no such way in this world. I really can't figure it out, think about your master that you once told me, and how he taught you?"

After Shen Bai listened to Fei Yu and Ye Qing's words, the confusion in his expression suddenly dissipated most of it. I recall that Master once said that it is our duty to subdue demons and eliminate demons and maintain the stability of the world.

After Shen Bai took a deep breath and exhaled it, he said slowly: "I understand, thank you." Our first task now is to find the clay statue mentioned in the book at the client's house. After waiting for the past, Fei Yu, you first confirm whether the client's husband is alive.

Ye Qing, your means of identifying the evil qi are stronger than mine, after we find the statue, you find the Wutong God according to the aura on it, talk to it first, and if you can't talk about it, you can start fighting directly. ”

Time Jump –

After getting off the train, the three of them saw that it was almost noon, and Fei Yu shouted that he was hungry and wanted to eat all the way (in the morning, this cargo ate three baskets of xiaolongbao alone).

Shen Bai was used to it, but he was a little helpless, although Ye Qing knew that Fei Yu loved to eat, but he didn't expect that Fei Yu, who had eaten so much in the morning, actually said that he was hungry all the way, and he couldn't help but stumble under his feet and almost fell down...

"Boss, look at it, Xiao Yezi is so hungry that he can't stand steadily, let's find a place to eat, you haven't eaten a few bites in the morning, in case you faint on the road from hunger, how can I carry you two?"

Fei Yu said Lei Ren's words, half-jokingly to bring the dull atmosphere from the morning to lighten.

Shen Bai held his forehead speechlessly and said: Are you the same as you when we are all us? I can eat and be hungry fast, and I can get rid of a cub seed alive....

When Ye Qing heard Fei Yu's words, the corners of his mouth twitched - if he was a character in the comics, he would probably be full of black lines by now! The two glanced at each other, and helplessly followed Fei Yu to find a restaurant to eat.

Fei Yu obviously didn't have a bit of B in his heart, so he took the two out of the station, went around and entered a small restaurant called "Qianguxiang", and howled when he entered the door: "Boss~ Let's have two plates of braised elbows and three bowls of rice, I'm going to starve to death, hurry up!"

Under the surprised gaze of a group of diners, Fei Yu Shi Ran found a table to sit down, and beckoned Shen Bai and the others: "Boss, Xiao Yezi, you two hurry up and order something to eat, don't be stunned."

You eat three bowls of rice alone!

Shen Bai's face was numb and Ye Qing, whose face was numb, flashed with pain, ordered a plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of garlic eggplant, and two bowls of rice and sat opposite Fei Yu.

"Fei Yu, from today onwards, you will pay for the food and lodging we go out, and you kid has saved a lot of small treasury! That's it. ”

Our Fei Yu just wanted to refute, looked at Shen Bai's unkind eyes, swallowed the words that wanted to protest on his lips, and muttered: "What, you know how to squeeze me..."

The two of them couldn't help but smile, bowed their heads to eat and didn't look at him, and the goods came again: "I just eat a little more than ordinary people, and I even have to pay for the accommodation, and I haven't slept longer than you...".

Puff... Shen Bai couldn't help it, squirting rice with a smile, Ye Qing covered his face and almost set up a sign next to him to write "I don't know him" and pointed at Fei Yu, the three of them were often teased by Fei Yu during the meal, and Fei Yu's appetite also refreshed Ye Qing's cognition - after the three of them quickly ate two plates of fat elbows and three bowls of rice, Fei Yu ordered two cold dishes and a bowl of rice, and they also ate a lot of dishes from Shen Bai and the others during the waiting!

When the three of them were about to finish eating, an old monk in rags, carrying a wooden stick and a rag bag on his body, entered the store and looked around, walked to the table of the three people, made a Buddhist salute and said to the three people: "Can the three donors give some food to the poor monks?" The poor monk hadn't eaten for two days. ”

The old monk was dressed in a tattered robe, like Jigong's clothes, not to mention the holes everywhere, and the straw sandals under his feet had a hole in his toes on one side, and he was dirty.

Hua Tingyu looked disgusted, and was just about to open his mouth to pick up people, Shen Bai got up and said, "If this master doesn't dislike it, just sit here and eat with us, and I'll order some more vegetarian dishes."

After Shen Bai invited the old monk to sit down, he ordered two more vegetarian dishes and a bowl of rice, and then asked, "Which temple is the master from?" Why have you come to such a point?"

The old monk smiled and said Amitabha Buddha, saying that he was a wandering monk, who practiced in the monastery in his early years, and now he has entered the world, and wants to solve the troubles of the people who are confused by mundane things in the world. Although Fei Yu looked disgusted at first, after hearing the old monk's words, a trace of respect rose on his face.

After a few people finished eating with the old monk, the old monk made a Buddhist salute to Shen Bai and said: "The poor monk has received the grace of the donor and has been able to have a full meal, but there seems to be a trace of confusion in the look of the donor.

Shen Bai was taken aback, although Fei Yu and Ye Qing dispelled most of the confusion in his heart before, he still had some confusion in his heart, but he didn't hang it on his face like before, but hid it in the depths of his heart.

This tattered old monk can actually see a trace of confusion hidden deep in his heart from himself!

Shen Bai folded his hands and bowed deeply to the old monk and said, "I hope the old master will solve his doubts!"

The old monk smiled slightly: "Amitabha... The bewilderment of the donor, please come together for the poor monks. ”

After Shen Bai explained his confusion to the old monk, he looked at the old monk's contemplative face with some apprehension, if he could solve the confusion in his heart, it would be fine, if he couldn't solve it as soon as possible...

"Donor, can the poor monk ask you a few questions?" After the old monk pondered for a moment, he looked at Shen Bai with deep eyes and said, Shen Bai came back to his senses and nodded hurriedly: "Master, please ask."

Then Shen Bai sat precariously waiting for the old monk to ask questions, which showed the eagerness and apprehension in his heart.

Needless to say, I am anxious because Shen Bai is afraid of the end, or he can't solve the confusion in his heart about the way of the Tao, and it will be difficult to generate demons in the long run... Shen Bai put his hands on his knees, and sweat oozed from his clenched palms. The fat Yu on the table didn't dare to come out, and Ye Qing looked at the two quietly.

Fei Yu Ye Qing, as Shen Bai's friend, looked at Shen Bai worriedly after the old monk said that Shen Bai's confusion was still not gone. Just when he wanted to say something, he heard that the old monk was willing to help Shen Bai solve his doubts, and the two of them exchanged glances with joy, understanding that it was better for them to be quiet at this time.

"When will the donor enter the Tao?" The old monk's entry into the Tao meant to ask Shen Bai when he began to cultivate.

"I am an orphan, fatherless and motherless. I was brought up by my master since I was a child, and although I have never practiced in Taoism, my master is a Taoist from Longhu Mountain, and I should be considered to have entered the Tao since I was sensible. Shen Bai replied after thinking about it.

"Amitabha, the Buddha's words are cloudy: there are thousands of things in the three thousand worlds, and those who have spirits have a way. Although the donor is not a Buddhist, the Taoist mantra also says so. The donor can think of this because of the stories written by his predecessors, and the wisdom is not shallow. After the old monk exclaimed, he continued to ask: "In the eyes of the donor, can there be good and evil in the Tao?"

Shen Bai replied without hesitation: "Then there are naturally people, there are good people and bad people, and the Tao naturally has good and evil ways, my master once said that demons and ghosts are also good and bad."

"Then the poor monk has a different question... In the benefactor's view, when a person dies and turns into a wronged soul and harms others, this is evil, and a ghost that does not harm others is good. Yes and no?"

"This.... Isn't it?"

The old monk smiled: "My Buddhism emphasizes a cycle of cause and effect, why do people who die unjustly turn into unjust souls and harm others after death?" Let's not mention the unjust souls who have no independent consciousness, but the unjust souls who have the consciousness to take revenge on others after death are because they were treated unfairly during their lifetime and passed away with resentment. Is it wrong to take revenge after death for the injustice he did during his lifetime?"

The old monk's question stopped Shen Bai, and Shen Bai usually took over the most commissions of this type. Regardless of the unjust souls that come to harm people, whether the client has the intention to kill or not, but he will help them solve their troubles, some can be persuaded to be sent to reincarnation, and some are too resentful to be eliminated, I didn't expect to be stumped by this problem today.

Shen Bai bowed his head and was silent, and the old monk continued to ask: "It seems that the donor has dealt with many such incidents, but why didn't he think about the current problem at that time, nor did he have the confusion he has now?"

"I... I don't know..."

"Can the benefactor have good and evil in his heart?"

The old monk's successive questions made Shen Bai's heart at a loss: Yes, he used to only kill a lot of vengeful souls from the client's standpoint, but they came to take revenge because they were killed by the client unintentionally or indirectly before their deaths, and there were also people who were deliberately killed by the client to take revenge after death, and those people begged them to help them deal with the unjust souls who came to take revenge for the sake of their families and their families.

But I never thought about whether it was right or wrong to do this, whether it was good or evil?

Seeing that the old monk's question made Shen Bai even more confused, Fei Yu slapped the table and stood up and pointed at the old monk and scolded: "You bald donkey, you said that you would help people solve their doubts, but you are good, you didn't help my boss solve the problem, but made a bunch of so-called problems..."

Halfway through the words, Ye Qing on the side hurriedly covered Fei Yu's mouth, scolded him in a low voice, and pressed him to the seat. He looked at the old monk and said apologetically: "The master is sorry, our friend is a little anxious, please don't be embarrassed."

Ye Qing is very discerning, and after the old monk asked these questions, he knew that the problem that plagued Shen Bai who had not slept all night would definitely be solved! He and Fei Yu can't help for the time being, but they can't let Fei Yu make trouble for Shen Bai.

The old monk smiled and said that he might as well continue to look at Shen Bai who lowered his head and pondered afterwards, Fei Yu sat on the chair and muttered angrily: "What master, I think it's just a bastard who cheats and cheats..."

Shen Bai, who had been pondering for a long time, was in a state of confusion, and had to look up at the old monk and said, "Master, these questions are too profound, the kid is stupid, please tell me the answers."

The old monk put away the smile on his face and said to Shen Bai with a serious face: "What is positive? What is Evil? What is right and what is wrong? It all depends on who you are. The benefactor is a living person, and the way he walks must be to help others! Isn't it self-inflicted to put oneself on the path of other spirits that have passed away or are not of human beings? Right and wrong, the donor already has the answer in his heart, just because he has entered the deeper mountain road, he is confused for a while!"

The old monk woke up the confused Shen Bai with a word, yes! As a human being, why shouldn't I help others? My identity is a human being, and I have in my heart the distinction between good and evil taught by the master during his lifetime, so why bother to trouble myself and forcibly divide the way of evil things into right and wrong? As long as it hurts people, I will get rid of it!

After the old monk finished speaking, he got up and left slowly outside the restaurant, and said in his mouth:

This is to eliminate demons and slay demons, and the avenues of the world are chaotic.

Why should I ask others? Right and wrong are ultimately human beings.

Persuade the gentleman Mo Yan Wutong God, the way of evil things is to harm people!

May the king hold a sword to destroy the evil gods, and the ghosts and spirits will not go out.

With the old monk chanting poetry, his figure was about to disappear into the street at the door......

Shen Bai got up and chased to the door, and asked loudly to the ragged old monk in the crowd, "Dare to ask the master's name!" Who's the master?"

When the people on the street heard Shen Bai's words, they turned their heads like fools and continued to do their own thing.

The old monk didn't look back, and replied: "I am a down-and-out monk in the world, how dare I leave a famous teacher to be commensurate, I will meet in the future, a monk with tattered dead wood..."

The old monk has disappeared into the sea of people, but the poems he chanted are deeply imprinted in Shen Bai's heart, and the Tao in Shen Bai's heart is firm, and the name of dead wood is also deeply imprinted in Shen Bai's heart······
