Chapter 22: Tell you about an old man
When the moonlight is in the sky, not a single cloud in the sky can be seen, and the moonlight is as hazy as a light gauze tent, shining on the earth like a mist.
Zhou Xuan put his hands behind his back and stood in front of him.
In fact, he had already planned how he was going to teach the two monsters.
First of all, there is nothing better than the scriptures of the saints.
That is, the way of a gentleman and the Tao Te Ching.
Truths such as 'Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as dogs', 'The good is like water, and the water is good for all things without fighting', 'The gentleman is frank, and the villain is often a relative'.
Don't say anything else, it's enough.
In addition, Zhou Xuan has been exposed to these truths since he was a child, and his memory is still fresh, which is more solid than that of online articles, and he can come to it easily.
I only gave a lecture once a month before, and that was because Zhou Xuan read too few online texts, and only read a few basic online texts known as the fantasy sewer, and the amount of reading was not enough, and there was so much ink in his belly, so he naturally had to save some talk.
But the way of these saints, first, there is indeed a true meaning in it, and second, the amount is full, and the content can fully support him to teach a few more lectures.
As for the most important point, there is a wild nature of monsters, like wolves, even if the wolf breeders in the grassland are familiar with wolves, they must be very vigilant against the beastliness of wolves to prevent being injured by wolves.
Zhou Xuan is self-aware, don't look at himself as a teacher, he is respected in front of monsters and respected by monsters.
But he was a weak scholar at best.
is different from the sage who preaches the gentleman's way, the old man is a great Confucian who is both civil and military, and he strives to pull out the mountains and cover the world, and the students dare to disobey?
It doesn't make sense to reason, and there is force as a backhand.
And if the monster students under him rebelled and wanted to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, he had no way at all.
Therefore, Zhou Xuan thought very clearly, the top priority should be to teach the monster the sage law, teach the gentleman, emphasize etiquette, righteousness and shame, and self-denial!
Weaken the beastly nature of the youkai and strengthen the human side, so as to avoid tragedy.
Thinking like this, I heard two voices coming from behind, and I knew that two monsters were coming.
Zhou Xuan sank down, and as he had imagined before, he put on a posture and sighed softly:
"Heaven rewards hard work, and the avenue is ruthless!"
Heaven rewards diligence, and the avenue is ruthless!
It's a short eight words, but it contains infinite philosophy.
The brown bear monster and the monkey paused, thoughts flooding their minds.
Heaven rewards diligence, and the more diligent you are, the more you can cultivate the great cause of heaven.
However, the avenue is ruthless, and no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.
You must know that although the monkey was born and raised and did not understand the rules, he crossed the southern Ganbu Prefecture and came to this Taixutian, during which he had a lot of dealings with people, and he also knew some principles of being a man, and soon analyzed some simple and easy-to-understand truths.
At this time, the monkey was thinking about Zhou Xuan's intentions in his heart, and he felt that the master's words were not so simple.
Combined with the Master's words that he should learn to be a human being first and then come to cultivate, the monkey thought a lot.
"Be a human first, then cultivate the Tao.
Heaven rewards diligence, and the avenue is ruthless!
Master must be hinting at something, there is an inevitable connection between cultivation and being a human being.
There are very few monsters in the world who have become immortals, but there are countless people who have become immortals. Even if the monster becomes an immortal, he looks like a human being, and he has abandoned the vices of the monster.
In other words, if you want to become an immortal, learning the truth of being a human being is the key to it! ”
The monkey's eyes lit up, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with his train of thought.
What's more, he is now in the late stage of the Tao, just when he is asking to become an immortal, the master suddenly does not ask about supernatural powers, but talks about the way of being a man.
This way of being a man is actually the way to become an immortal!
Thinking of this, the monkey's heart couldn't help but jump with joy.
Compared to monkeys, the idea of brown bear monsters is much simpler.
The Great Dao is ruthless, Master is saying that his qualifications are too poor, and no matter how diligent he cultivates, he can't cultivate the Great Dao? So he should be mentally prepared in advance......
"Master is above, could it be said that the disciple's qualifications are too poor, so ......?"
The brown bear monster thought wildly, but he couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.
From the very beginning, he knew that his heels were far inferior to Brother Monkey, and he was also cultivating, and his speed was too different.
Hearing this, Zhou Xuan was silent for a while.
He didn't answer directly, but asked with a gentle smile, "Since you have come to apprentice, first tell me where you are?" ”
"Back to Master, the disciple's body is a brown bear."
The brown bear monster replied.
"Brown bears?"
Zhou Xuan was stunned.
It stands to reason that the brown bear monster is much stronger than humans, but this monster didn't even trigger the system's alarm, which means that even he, a human, can't beat it, and it's just weak.
Could it be that this brown bear is relatively weak?
"Brown bear body......" Zhou Xuan nodded slightly, "In that case, I'll give you a name first." ”
As for the brown bear monster, many names flashed in Zhou Xuan's mind, such as what bear big bear two, what immortal madness Lei Tibers and so on.
In the end, Zhou Xuan decided: "Let's take a legal name with you, call it 'Xiongba', I hope you can dominate the world in the future." ”
The brown bear monster is not picky, so he bows his head and bows: "Thank Master for the name!" ”
After giving his name, Zhou Xuancai said: "You are indeed talented, but don't be uncomfortable, after all, there is no perfect person in this world, no demon is perfect, maybe you are mediocre in cultivation, but you are quite accomplished in other aspects, and it is not impossible." ”
This bear is indeed weak, but it is exactly what Zhou Xuan wants, if it is too powerful, he will not dare to accept it.
So he comforted him.
"Disciple understood." As soon as these words came out, the brown bear monster regained his confidence.
He decided that no matter how bad his talent was, he had to study hard and not let down the kindness of his master.
Then, at night, Zhou Xuan began to lecture.
"Do you know why the teacher blames you both?"
The two monsters looked at each other, thinking about the deep meaning of the teacher's words.
The monkey said tentatively: "It's because we are so wrong that we shouldn't be so public." ”
"It's just a little bit."
Zhou Xuan spoke, his thoughts seemed to drift to extremely distant and ancient memories, "Thinking back then, there was an old friend for the teacher, and he was also a spirit monkey immortal, he was gifted, absorbed the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon and was born, with unlimited magical powers, high Taoism, and the sacred immortals and Buddhas were all afraid of it, and he was called the Monkey King."
However, in order to be quick for a while, he overturned the underworld, trampled on the sky, indulged in recklessness, and was finally suppressed by the power of Buddhism under the sacred mountain, and could not turn over. ”
Even if you are a micro-business, you have to make up a touching story in order to sell the tea, not to mention that there are still some thresholds for a gentleman.
Therefore, Zhou Xuan has no friends in the middle school, and before giving a lecture, he will tell a story first.
But it is said that the original Journey to the West, the Monkey King was calculated by the heavenly court and Buddhism, and entered the Journey to the West, saying that it sounds good that the Monkey King is a man of temperament, and he has a lot of pride in his heart, and he wants to break all kinds of rules and confinements of heaven and earth.
But to put it mildly, it is too reckless and reckless.
The various forces in the Heavenly Court are intertwined and maintain the relative stability of order, which is the result of mutual compromise between the various forces.
The saints are all involved in it, arranging many eyeliners and incarnations, and even the Jade Emperor can't help himself, let alone a newcomer monkey head?
If you want to break the balance of the major forces in the Heavenly Court, it can almost be said that you have offended any party, and it is a sure thing that you will be suppressed by Wuzhi Mountain after that.
Of course, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders.
Zhou Xuan also stands from the perspective of a bystander, so he will make such a judgment, if he enters the game himself, whether he can do better is still two words.
The more accessible the story, the easier it is to impress others.
In particular, the protagonist in the story is also a monkey, and it is even more in-depth into the heart of a monkey.
Zhou Xuan then asked, "...... What have you learned from this? ”
As Zhou Xuan asked, the two people in the audience were trying to think about it.
"It hurts, it hurts."
"Master, if that Divine Monkey Brother's strength is stronger than the power of the Buddha Sect, wouldn't he already sit firmly on the throne of the Immortals?"
The two replied separately.
“???”
Zhou Xuan had a black line, and these two monsters didn't seem to understand the seriousness of the problem at all.
"You two, it seems that you don't know what the true meaning of cultivation is!"
Belch......
The monkey scratched his head, he couldn't understand the true meaning of cultivation from this story.
What he thought was that if it wasn't for his inferior skills, but for his victory over the power of Buddhism, wouldn't the Great Sage already become a god king and immortal emperor, and it would be impossible for him to be suppressed under the divine mountain?
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath and sighed: "You, sooner or later, you will be like this monkey head being suppressed, do you know what the strongest people in this world have in common?"
That's Gou!
Or rather, obscenity!
This is the true meaning of cultivation between heaven and earth! ”
"Lewd?" The monkey looked puzzled, after all, this word is not a good word in human mouths.
The brown bear monster, on the other hand, had a twinkle in his eyes and thought of something.
Lewdness, he knows best what obscenity is.
Almost every person or monster who sees him for the first time will exclaim in surprise, this bear demon looks so obscene!
But does this have anything to do with spiritual practice?
"Gou?"
"Lewd?"
What is the true meaning of this practice?
Sun Wukong scratched his head and was puzzled, unable to understand the meaning of these three words at all, after all, immortals and masters like teachers could not be linked to the three words Gou and obscenity.
After thinking about it, the monkey had no choice but to ask, "Please also ask Master to solve your doubts." ”
Zhou Xuan waited for the monkey's words, and answered his question: "You may not understand the word obscenity, but as a teacher, you will change the word, which is the word 'steady'."
As the saying goes, heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as dogs, and saints are unkind and take all beings as dogs.
In the eyes of heaven and saints, all things are one, and they are all ants.
Therefore, no matter how the ants toss, as long as there is no means to fight against the Heavenly Dao, even if all the immortals and Buddhas are eliminated, you will not be able to become an immortal emperor, after all, who is the immortal emperor, the heavenly way has long had an argument, how can the ants change it!
Therefore, as all sentient beings under the way of heaven, it is not advisable to go against the sky, but to go with the sky, and walk steadily, this is the way!
That Monkey King, if he is a little more stable and becomes holy, don't say that the throne of the Emperor of Heaven belongs to him, and even the Heavenly Dao can be shattered together, this is the true meaning of cultivation, it is the pattern! ”
