Chapter 293: Crossing the World and Sitting
The criteria for taking the imperial examination are body, speech, writing, and judgment.
The so-called "body" refers to physical appearance, which is the first of the four criteria, which shows how important appearance is for the imperial examination.
A good look is better than a good article, sometimes you can be a lifter, three points to see the article, seven points to see the face. For example, in the temple examination, there was a person who won the first place in the strategy test. But the emperor thought he was not good-looking, so he gave the champion to another good-looking candidate.
Feudal society believes that each other is born from the heart, a person must be talented if he is good-looking, if he looks like a thief, even if he has great ability, it will inevitably make people suspect that his mind is not pure.
There are even clear regulations that those with short eyebrows and small eyes cannot be officials, but can only be officials.
And the white-faced scholar, although he has the word white-faced, but his skin is relatively white, but his facial features are not very good, and he is even a little obscene.
The right eye is somewhat mutilated, and the eye socket is slightly distorted, apparently born with a cripple.
"Amitabha."
Du Shi whispered a Dharma name, and said, "If you really want to serve the people, I can make you have a good look." β
Hearing this, the scholar was stunned for a moment, touched his head and said with a puzzled face: "Shouldn't a master like you go down the mountain directly and let the emperor give an edict?" Wouldn't it be better to let people in the world no longer judge people by their appearance? β
"What if I have a good skin? There will still be ugly people in the world, and I just took the opportunity to get out of the quagmire. You should be a terrible immortal, so that people in the world don't judge people by their appearance? β
There was a touch of praise in Dushi's eyes, which was a buildable material, with a little Buddha nature.
There are many qualified people in the world, and there is no shortage of geniuses in the times, but there are very few people who dare to be the first in the world. Just like the Sword Sect thousands of years ago, he knew that he couldn't do it.
Before he could explain, the man in the thatched hut stepped out.
The Taoist is dressed in green clothes, with good facial features, red lips and white teeth, not very handsome, but that fluttering temperament makes people can't take their eyes off.
He said: "The heart of beauty is the common feeling of people, and the prejudice of the human heart is a big mountain, even if we have the ability to move the mountain to catch the moon, it is difficult to move it." β
This person is Li Changsheng, who is the head of today's immortal path and is known as the true immortal in the world. Even if it is a god, you have to bow down to him.
Washi put down the scholar, stood his right hand in front of him, bent down slightly, and said in a respectful tone: "Immortal Chief." β
Seeing the monk's respectful posture, the scholar didn't dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly bent down and said, "The little one has seen the immortals." β
He is a mortal who does not know about the immortals in the world, and there are many legends about the immortals among mortals, but these immortals do not refer to a specific person. But he still understands some people's sophistication, such a powerful monk has to bow his head, and the Taoist in front of him must be even more powerful.
Li Changsheng nodded slightly, and said in a flat voice: "My decree can make Kyushu change the sky, the emperor can be transposed, and the people can cut their hair and skin, and long hair can become short hair, but it can't change people's hearts." β
The scholar's mouth opened slightly, and he wanted to blurt it out, but he was afraid of offending the fairy. He was apprehensive for a long time, but soon he mustered up courage again.
Because he didn't feel any sense of oppression when he looked at the Taoist, unlike the high monk next to him, nor like any of the big people he had seen.
As soft and peaceful as a spring breeze, there is no depth in sight.
Ordinary people will feel that this is approachable in the true sense of the word, not only does it have no sense of distance, but it can even soothe people's hearts. And the cultivators will be even more in awe, because the immortals have returned to their true nature to the point where they cannot be perceived.
Watayo belonged to the former, and he still remembered that the first time he met the immortals, he could still feel a little breath of the other party. I thought that after being promoted to the gods, I would be able to sit on an equal footing with him, at least in the same realm.
But when he came to the gods, he only saw a bigger gap.
The scholar belonged to the latter, and thought that he was asking for his life for the world, and said with a solemn expression: "How can you know if you don't try?" Thousands of years ago, there was the Sword Sect to save the world from fire and water, and there is peace today. Why can't we follow the example of our predecessors and open up new ground for those who have aspirations in the world? β
"If you really have that ability, Chrysostom can at least save many people's careers when they open."
Li Yi shook his head with a smile and asked rhetorically, "If I open my mouth, how can you guarantee that you will not become a new privilege?" β
"How can it be a privilege for you to just say that you are not in the middle of your words? If you really want to talk about privileges, those children of the family are. β
The scholar replied, his voice slightly raised, looking a little excited.
It was as if he saw this conversation as an opportunity to change the world. It's a pity that Li Changsheng won't be instigated by him, just like adults don't care about children's words and deeds.
The scholar is undoubtedly a child in Li Changsheng's eyes.
Opening your own mouth can indeed ensure that such phenomena disappear, and the separation of immortals and mortals does not mean that they are completely left alone, and the Shangqing Palace still retains the right to supervise the mortal dynasty. Every three years, there will be disciples who go down to the mountain to investigate, visit in the open, and visit the people in private.
The standards are different from the two, and on the surface, they pay great attention to the emperor's virtue, and in private, there is only one hard indicator to be able to eat and wear. Unless there is a famine, as long as the taxes are not so heavy, it is perfectly fine to have enough to eat.
"Immortals like you are people with great merit, why don't you do one more good deed?"
Li Changsheng glanced up at the waterfall slightly, and replied in a flat voice: "When a thing is too heavy, it will produce a huge inertia when it falls anywhere. Just like this waterfall, the flowing water is harmless, and it falls into the water. My words are heavier and heavier than that. β
Although the scholar's words are naΓ―ve, his nature is not bad. And only if you stand tall enough can you see farther away. Position determines the way of thinking, and Li Changsheng knows his own weight.
As great as its power is, it will do as much harm as it is.
"When I opened my mouth, let the mortal dynasty not judge people by their appearance, but treat ugly people well. Then the people below will continue to deepen it around this sentence, and eventually your appearance will become the next body in the body of words and judgments. And then take ugliness as beauty, and it is not impossible for beauty and ugliness to be reversed. β
"Do you want the people of the world to follow you, or do you want to follow the people of the world? Inequality is the norm, and I can only keep everyone at least still on the ground. β
The scholar was completely stunned and didn't know how to answer, and he choked up with his full stomach.
"This ......"
He couldn't talk for a long time.
"But I can help you alone, if you don't plan to practice Buddhism with a monk."
Li Changsheng turned his head to look at the monk and asked, "Are you going to take him as an apprentice?" β
"Those who have Buddha nature are rare, and those who repay grievances with virtue are even rarer." Washiyo did not deny it.
He did have plans to take in disciples, and he had observed this scholar for a long time. Although he was discriminated against because of his appearance, he still did many good deeds on weekdays.
"Repaying grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" Li Changsheng asked, and then looked at the monk helplessly: "You, the brain is the axis." Buddhism is good for teaching, but not everyone can be edified. β
"Amitabha, the little monk will grasp the measure."
"Your measure is to help people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west, don't you feel tired? Forget it, let it go. β
Li Changsheng shook his head and no longer cared about the monk's affairs, although the monk's good man's temperament made people tired to watch, but at least he knew that killing people paid for his life.
Rather than blindly de-educifying.
He turned and walked into the thatched hut, and Watayo followed him, leaving the scholar alone to ponder on the ground.
"Sit down."
Du Shi sat down very naturally, looked around, and said, "How long has the Immortal Chief been here?" β
"Three years."
"Isn't the Moon Palace coming back? Recently, the poor monk has heard some rumors that the rabbit spirit has become more and more presumptuous towards you since the breakthrough, and has no sense of proportion, and even claims to be your Taoist companion. β
The more Du Shiyue said, the more excited the expression on his face became, with a little anger.
As a member of Buddhism, although he has not reached the point of shouting and killing monsters as soon as they meet, he has no good face due to the contradictions between demons for thousands of years. Not to mention that the rabbit has a bad impression on him from the beginning, and the youkai lurking among humans are a potential danger.
Only youkai who don't enter Kyushu are good youkai.
But the other party is very pleasing to the immortals, and he can only give up.
But recently, there have been some bad rumors in the Moon Palace, and I happened to pass by, so I came over to ask.
"That rabbit spirit is too disagreeable, how can you be confused by the beauty of the fairy? Those who are profound, will not be seduced by goblins. The immortal chief should stop her as soon as possible, lest the rumors spread more and more, otherwise it will ruin your reputation. β
Du Shi said very painfully, his words were sincere, but he fell into Li Changsheng's ears as if he was connotating himself.
Li Changsheng's action of drinking tea paused slightly, and he raised his head and asked, "Monk, I am not a monk, nor am I a Taoist priest of Qing cultivation. β
Since he beheaded Taishang and forgot his feelings, his seven emotions and six desires and his body are normal. The great supernatural person is not emotional, but he has seen too much, his vision is too high, or he does not have that mind.
Li Changsheng was like this a thousand years ago, but after a thousand years, he couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of rabbits, and his feelings could be cultivated, and he admitted that he was in the way of rabbits. But there's not much resistance to this, just let it be.
"Huh?!"
Du Shi turned his head suddenly, as if he heard what Li Changsheng meant, his eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "Are you really having an affair with that rabbit spirit?" β
Li Changsheng's face turned black when he heard this word, and said: "Affair refers to an improper relationship, I have no wife, she has no husband, how can you and I want to have an affair?" β
"But she's a monster."
"What about demons?"
"It's over, it's over, Immortal Chief, you're definitely confused by that rabbit spirit. I have a mental method here, and I am ...... Buddha."
Bang!
Watayo leaned forward suddenly, and then made a close contact with the ground. There was a loud bang, and the whole person was embedded in the mud, and even if he had ten thousand strengths, he couldn't get up.
"The immortal chief turned back to the shore, and the shemale has a different path."
The monk did not forget to preach at this time, and just after speaking, his body sank into the mud a few centimeters.
Li Changsheng took a sip of tea lightly and said, "The Ladyboy Path is said to mortals, they can't bear the demonic energy, just like it is difficult for cultivators to combine with mortals. β
After half a ring, Du Shi got up with a disgraced face, his mouth slightly open and just wanted to speak, but he was slapped into the ground again.
This was repeated several times, and finally he stood up silently, and stood by very obediently and stopped preaching.
"Immortal Chief, in fact, the rabbit spirit is not bad. Although it used to lurk in the land of smoke and willows, it was more often a paper stand-in to make a maid, and Yuan Yin still existed. The Yuan Yin of a demon saint is helpful for cultivation. β
When they first met, Watayo saw the reality of each other. At the beginning, it was a complete body, and he had been circling around the immortal chief in the back, and he should not be committed to others.
Originally, he thought that the two would not have that kind of relationship, but he didn't expect the rabbit to plot against him.
The matter has come to this point, and the crossing can only be supported.
As he spoke, he took out a scroll of Buddhist scriptures, made of gold silk and satin, with infinite Buddhism on it, containing the avenue of yin and yang.
"The poor monk is a monk of the Qing Dynasty, but there is still the inheritance of the Buddha of Joy in the door. At present, it is forbidden to practice in Buddhism, and it is useless to keep it, so it is better to hand it over to the immortal chief. β
Yin and Yang cultivation has not been an evil path since ancient times, but it is stigmatized by the bad deeds of some people. Buddhism is now the mainstream of pure cultivation, but the monks will not speak ill of double cultivation.
The Buddha of Joy belongs to the branch of Buddhism that was born very long ago, and there is certainly no problem before ancient times. But after entering the Immortal Dao Era, after his own Great Thunder Yin Buddha Sect was in charge of the Buddha Gate, the status of the Buddha of Joy became very embarrassing.
Some of the exercises and ideas are good, and most of the disciples are adulterers and captives.
Now the Joy Buddha sect has been sent to the Western Heaven of Bliss, lest the children of their disciples be harming the women of good families. The inheritance fell into the hands of Washi, and he didn't want the harmless exercises to die because of people, but it was impossible for him to practice them.
It's just the right time to send it out today.
Bang!
Washiro was filmed again.
Li Yi raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Am I that kind of person?" But since you have this heart, then I will accept it. β
ββ¦β¦β
Dushi got up again, without saying much, he was used to the character of immortals who liked to do things when they came up.
Back then, he also said that he would fight if he couldn't do it, and he would be persuaded in the end.
Li Changsheng took the scroll of the inheritance of the Buddha of Joy and looked at it, and in his spare time, he also set his eyes on the protagonist on the table.
Pro
[The one who is coming, where the earth is tomorrow, understands the original of all things, and the meaning of the three talents......]
The black font is neat and elegant, and if you don't look closely, you won't notice any clues. But once you pay attention to it, your eyes are narrowed in an instant, and that word is infinitely elevated, as if it is still taller than the mountains.
He couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and it wasn't until Li Yi tapped his eyebrows that he slowly came back to his senses.
Even so, he still looked at the bamboo slip on the table stupidly and asked, "Immortal Chief, what is this?" β
"Proverbs." Li Changsheng replied, "Heaven and earth give it, I don't know what it is. β
It is rare for heaven and earth to take the initiative to teach the method, and there are all kinds of information attached to it, which is extremely clear, not like it is done by heaven.
"Maybe it's the inheritance of some ancient power left between heaven and earth, which happened to be realized by me."
"Ask the immortals to pass on the law!"
Washitsu knelt down on his knees and pressed his head to the ground, and the next second he was helped up by an invisible force.
"If you want to learn, take it." Li Changsheng handed it over to Du Shi like garbage, this thing is knowledge, and it can be copied infinitely.
"I used it to increase my perception of heaven and earth."
"Xie Immortal Teachings."
Washishi picked up the bamboo slips, as if he had picked up a small world.
He returned to Buddhism with the scholar, and after careful consideration, the other party also decided to shave his hair and become a monk. The reason sounds grandiose and not quite in line with the great love of Buddhism, fighting for justice for the world's crippled and ugly people.
A hundred years later, the Red Buddha passed away at the age of 2008.
According to Buddhism, the master did not die at the end of his life, but became a true Buddha.
Because after that day, the Bodhi world was very quiet.
