Chapter 81: Inaction
In the darkness again, he was left alone and alone, accompanied by the flickering Tai Chi above his head, the first time was if it was the desire in his heart, then the second time was whether he could give up the extremely heavy family affection, and the third time was love, when the test was destroyed again and again, this man's heart was like the cracked glass, he could not withstand this series of tests. A person's heart is not a stone, he has feelings, and it is really because he has feelings and flesh and blood, so he can pass those three levels. It is precisely because he has feelings that he will be injured completely.
The sky is round and the place is round, the circle is the way of life, and the square is the way of people. We must not only stick to our own principles, but also be able to make decisions when faced with choices, but this is true for all those who can achieve great things. For example, Li Shimin can kill his brother and force his father for the throne, but he has always maintained a pure emperor's heart, which created the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
This is true for the monarch, and the same is true for the Taoist, the so-called Heavenly Dao is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it must pay a greater price than ordinary people. But if there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the Tao is ruthless but affectionate. Love is something that is difficult to say and last, when you think it is not there, it is in the deepest part of your heart, and when you think it is everywhere, it is long gone.
For example, most of the Tianzheng Dao techniques studied by Cha Wenbin are derived from the Maoshan lineage, and the Maoshan lineage is the most particular about punishment, killing, destroying, and destroying, and its Taoism is extremely murderous. But in his hands, he changed to Du, because in his heart he always believed that no one is born willing to do evil, even if he turned into a fierce ghost, it was only because he had a grudge in his heart. If that's the case, why not let people eliminate it? Not only has cholera been avoided, but also accumulated yin virtue, the existence of anything has its inevitability, and you can't rely on your own way to deal with the demon one foot higher.
Cha Wenbin, who said goodbye to Yuan Xiaobai, was still immersed in the sadness just now, he was like a child who had lost his favorite toy sitting cross-legged on the ground, anyway, he didn't know where it was for the time being, and where he should go, it was better to meditate and watch the changes.
"Hey......" A sigh came, Cha Wenbin looked up and saw that there was an old man in ragged clothes standing in front of him, with a gourd hanging from his waist, a cracked hat on his head, and a pair of straw sandals, one was good, and the other was already half broken. At first glance, this is a beggar, exuding a strong smell of alcohol, a red-black face that I don't know if he is sunburned or drunk, and a pair of big misty eyes reveal lazy indifference.
"Division...... Master ......" Cha Wenbin stammered and shouted: "Master, is it really you?" ”
Ma Sufeng took out the gourd on his waist and put it beside him, and sat down cross-legged and said, "Wen Bin, how long have you not come to see me?" Last time I heard you say that I was about to have a little apprentice, and this is about to be clear, bring the child with me to take a look. ”
"Master, how are you doing?" What Cha Wenbin wanted to ask in his heart was whether this was a ghost or a ghost? He couldn't tell for a while, but he felt that this master still felt the same as when he was alive, and it didn't look like he had just come out of the underworld.
"I'm not doing very well," Ma Sufeng said: "As a Taoist priest, it is inevitable to do some things to save people and restore souls during his lifetime, and there are too many leaks of heavenly secrets, and he will be punished by God." Look at me," he took off his coat as he spoke, and the moment his clothes were untied, Cha Wenbin was stunned, there were several large rotten holes in Ma Sufeng's chest, and the maggots inside were constantly wriggling, and there were corpses tearing at his internal organs, not to mention how miserable the scene was.
"Why is this happening?" Cha Wenbin screamed and stood up to catch those insects for him, but Ma Sufeng waved his hand and said: "It's useless, this is all a debt, I didn't want you to take this road, but you went farther and farther. Who knew that you were talented and intelligent, and you could become a talent even if you were secretly learning and self-taught, but the master still came to warn you that there was too much leakage of heavenly opportunities, and after all, you have to report it back. I suffer from the bite of this insect every day, and I have to be pierced by those bad imps with chains, flooded with fire, and reincarnated a whole nail before throwing myself into the beast Tao to suffer the pain of being slaughtered by others, Wen Bin, the master advises you, don't be persistent anymore, let go of the Tao in your heart. ”
"No, master," Cha Wenbin cried and knelt on the ground and said: "You have accumulated virtue and done good deeds all your life, and have exorcised evil spirits and treated people for medical treatment, why does God still treat you so unfairly, is there really no justice in this world?" What's so bad about being a Taoist priest, there is evil and there is good, they don't care about those dirty things, why do they have to embarrass us disciples who practice the Tao, then the master of the Sanqing Patriarch is on top and is indifferent to watching his disciples endure such a calamity? ”
"The Tao is born from the heart, and there are thousands of avenues, what is the Tao? And look at the way from the good to the bad, from the reverse to the devil, I thought that my going from the devil to the subversion of the world is a real road, but in fact, the teacher is wrong, I shouldn't have kept you by my side in the first place, so that you will fall deeper and deeper, it is for the teacher to enter the devil will become so. There is a saying that the son is not filial to the father, everything you do today is the old road I took in the past, it's just that they all count your deeds in the world as my share, the deeper your cultivation is, the more heavenly opportunities are leaked, and the more pain you need to endure as a teacher, this is the calamity of the teacher, and it is also your difficulty. ”
"I can't help it, I can't help it!" Cha Wenbin said: "Master, you once told me that the heart is the devil, the devil is the heart, people can't live a lifetime, they will go in vain in this world, if the master wants the disciple to quit from now on, the disciple will not dare to disobey." But the disciple has something to say, there are thousands of cultivators in this world, there are thousands of evil demons in this world, and there is evil and there is good. There really comes a day, will this God open his eyes and take a look at the catastrophe in the world caused by the so-called heavenly machine, because of his selfishness, so that there is no justice in this world? ”
"Then you just watch the pain of being a teacher like this, and suffer from this day and night." Ma Sufeng took a sip of wine and said: "I have long lost my sense of taste, what is the difference between this wine and water for me, apprentice, you will also suffer this endless pain like me in the future." Cultivation for a lifetime, a life of poverty, a lifetime of suffering, and a lifetime of torture. The teacher is here today just to make you think clearly, if you continue to walk this path, the teacher will not stop you, and this poisonous insect and sores will continue to wreak havoc on my body. ”
"I ......" Cha Wenbin was speechless again, in his world, the master is everything, it was Ma Sufeng who gave him life, gave him a family, and gave him growth. Ma Sufeng is both a master and a father for him, since ancient times, filial piety has come first, especially those who have cultivated the Tao pay more attention to traditional etiquette, and now the master is suffering like this because of himself, as an apprentice, he really has no reason to refuse.
After the disciple finished this matter, he took off his Taoist robe, returned home to the countryside, and recited scriptures for the master day and night, and no longer asked about all kinds of grievances in this world. The disciple didn't know that the master had suffered such a calamity because of the disciple, and the disciple was not filial, so he actually put you in such a situation, please accept the disciple's apology. After that, he was about to kowtow and apologize, but Ma Sufeng said: "Then I want you to return to the vulgar and no longer enter the Tao, you can agree." ”
"The disciple of the master does not dare to disobey," Cha Wenbin said: "It's just that it's a little difficult for me to take off this clothes, outside is my friend and your senior brother, I am in danger and ordered to break a chain here." The disciple can promise the master that when the disciple goes out, everything will be done, and the master will be fulfilled. ”
"You really don't want to?" Ma Sufeng sighed and said: "In another hour, your master will be reincarnated into the animal path, and he will suffer the pain of being eaten by people and eating meat and bones. Ye Huan outside is my enemy, you don't have to pay attention to it, you are a lonely star, this life is destined to be entangled with countless ups and downs, what the master can do is to want to do this with you. ”
"What's wrong?" Cha Wenbin said: "As long as I put down the seal in my hand?" It is your seal, and if you want to take it back, you can take it. After saying that, he turned out the big seal engraved with "Heavenly Master Dao Treasure", and presented the seven-star sword together: "Uncle Ye Huan and I have a grudge against the teacher, and the disciple has never forgotten it, but the disciple believes that it is not that the time has not come, and now if I abandon them, it will be taking advantage of the danger of others, this is not a gentleman's action, the disciple wants to avenge you and also take revenge, and it is the right way to compete with him in the Tao." ”
"Then I'm about to enter the beast path, how do you feel?"
"The master once taught me that the Tao is always doing nothing and doing nothing, and if you want to know the gains and losses, please check the name and form. The punishment is self-determined, the more quiet I am, the more self-inflicted I am, and it is my inaction. If the master is destined to have this calamity, it is the Heavenly Dao, and if the disciple intercepts it, he will have to pay for the lives of the few living people outside. Forgive the disciple for his courage, since the master has already driven the crane to the west, he has nothing to do with this earthly world, and the living people in this earthly world should be more worthy of attention than the dead people. Although I can't do anything, I know that I am ashamed, my disciple owes too much to others in his life, and he owes more to his master, since it is destined to be a lone star, I might as well choose to do nothing, and see what this world wants to spoil me into......"
