The twilight in the broken house became thicker and thicker, Ye Su looked at him and smiled and said, "I learned some from your senior brother back then, and I should teach you back, but I have to charge tuition." What do you want to learn?"

Ning Que looked at the water bowl in his hand, looked at the water in the bowl like wine, was silent for a long time, and then began to tell the stories that had happened since last fall.

The thin snow on the city wall of Chang'an fell like a curtain, and the viewer entered the city and encountered thousands of knives, and the snow in the sky began to burn, burning out a clear blue sky, and he wrote a word on that blue sky.

Ye Su is now an ordinary person, he doesn't walk in the cultivation world, and he doesn't know many things, but the matter of the Guanzhu entering Chang'an, the Sword Pavilion has already spread the word about him.

"Since you can write that word, you will be invincible in the city, even the teacher will be defeated by your sword, but if you come outside the city, the teacher will look at you, and you will die. ”

Ning Que admitted and said, "I want to know how to be as powerful outside Chang'an City. ”

Ye Su said: "You are the first rune master to write that word, Yan Se didn't do it, countless seniors didn't do it, so no one can teach you, and I am not qualified." ”

Ning Que said: "How can we gather the will of more people?"

Ye Su said: "The most common means, or expression, is naturally the word faith. ”

Ning Que said: "I think the same way, but I don't want to take the old road of the door. ”

Ye Su said: "So you took a great risk to go out of Chang'an, walk in the red dust again, and travel in the world, which is still the old road I used to take when I wanted to explore life and death." ”

Ning Que didn't understand his words very well.

"That day, your senior brother was sitting by the pond reading a book, and he didn't look at my sword at all, so I realized that I still needed to read it. Later, when I meditated in the small Taoist temple and watched the eaves collapse, I understood the truth of breaking and rebuilding, and finally understood that the cycle of life and death is for nature. ”

Ye Su thought back to the sword on the Snow Peak of the Wasteland, and the scholar by the pool, looked at him and smiled and said, "In this way, I can take the sword of Jun Cheng in front of Qingxia." ”

Ning Que asked, "What does this have to do with my current confusion?"

Ye Su said: "What you write is a word that no one has ever written, you are walking the road of no one who has gone before, I said that no one can teach you, what I can do is to spread out the process of my own cultivation and understanding to show you, crush you and let you touch what you can understand from it, it is not up to me to decide." ”

Ning Que was silent for a moment and said, "Please continue." ”

Ye Su said: "When I traveled around the world to investigate the trial of life and death, I still looked at the world with the mentality of a bystander, but now I have become a waster, returned to the world, and came to this dilapidated street in Linkang City, I have changed from a bystander to a participant. ”

Ning Que thought about his feelings when he looked at the streets and alleys on the Chang'an city wall, the people were like ants, and looked at the numb passengers in the cabin on the Daze passenger ship, only to realize that he had not gotten rid of the position of a bystander.

Ye Su looked at him and continued: "You don't want to take the old path of Daomen, because you instinctively hate the existence of religion, but you have forgotten that religion is indeed faith, but faith is not necessarily all religion, at least not all religions like Haotian Daomen. ”

Ning Que thought for a while and said, "I agree with this statement. ”

"You should know very well that except for those strong people in the Dao Gate, the higher the realm of cultivators, the more difficult it is to ensure that their minds are clear, in other words, the more powerful people are, the more difficult it is for them to have faith. Faith is not above the heavens, only in the lowly places of the dust, to put it more simply, faith is the most unshakable idea and desire of ordinary people, if you want to use faith to gather people's will, you first need to figure out what they want. ”

Ye Su said: "I am now in a state of exhaustion, and I have become a real ordinary person, and I don't have the ability to think about the wonderful truth, but I have the opportunity to live an ordinary life, and understand the thoughts of ordinary people, such as the beliefs of the children in this neighborhood, but the word eating." ”

Ning Que thought about the pictures he had seen earlier and nodded.

Ye Su looked at him and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Ning Que saw him eat a big bowl of green vegetable rice before, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't eat a meal.

Ye Su said: "Look, this is what makes you different from ordinary people. ”

Ning Que understood what he meant and asked, "Do you have noodles at home?"

The real house in the broken house has four walls, although there are old pots and old stoves, but it is extremely difficult to find some rice noodles, but fortunately, Ye Su is now very respected in the streets and alleys, and it will not be long before someone brings a bowl of somen noodles.

Ning Que finished eating all the soup and noodles, put the dishes and chopsticks on the window, suddenly thought about something, and asked, "Since you want to live an ordinary life, why do you want those children to deliver food?"

Ye Su's answer was simple and convincing: "I don't know how to cook." ”

Ning Que couldn't object to this explanation, and asked again: "Earlier, at the mouth of the alley in front, I saw those women washing clothes without soap powder, thinking that they were living in poverty, why didn't they even use laundry air. ”

Ye Su's explanation is still very convincing: "The laundry air can indeed wash the clothes more cleanly, but the fabric used in their clothes at home is not good, and it may break down after washing it a few times." ”

Ning Que said: "The people here are really hard, do you have to be in such a difficult environment to experience the feelings you want to experience? Wouldn't it be too masochistic?"

"My perception and study in this area have just begun, and I can't give you a direct answer or a clear direction, but I can only say some vague judgments from myself for your reference. ”

Ye Su said: "We said earlier that faith can be used to unite the will of the crowd, and this sentence is actually not a problem in reverse, the strongest and most unified will of human beings will inevitably become faith, so we only need to know what people want most." ”

"Human beings are very good at hiding their true emotions, because revealing them is sometimes like removing armor and means danger. On an ordinary day, in a warm and comfortable environment, it is difficult for you to find their real desires and thoughts, and it is difficult to get an answer when you ask them what they want. Only in the desperate time of life, in front of the extreme background of events, those "answers" will jump out of their own and appear extremely clear, whether they are numb or philistine before, their actions are always so honest. ”

Ning Que thought about the bravery of the people in Chang'an City on that snowy day, and thought thoughtfully.

Ye Su continued: "Your previous sentence was wrong, not because you have to be in a difficult environment to realize this, but because hardship is the normal state in the world. I didn't go to Chang'an but came to Linkang because the Tang people lived too freely and beautifully, which is not a treatment that everyone can enjoy. ”

"In Linkang, I have seen the most extravagant nobles, the poorest burghers, the most arrogant priests, and the most despicable slaves. Wealth and poverty seem to be born and cannot be changed, which makes me think about the question, why can't these things be changed?

Twilight spilled into the house through the hole in the roof of the broken house, as if gilding Ye Su's body with a warm red sheen, there was no sense of sacredness, but it was so intimate.

He looked at Ning Que quietly and said, "Haotian doctrine says that everyone is guilty and needs to repent in order to be saved by Haotian and enter the kingdom of light after death. But in the decades of life before entering the kingdom of God, will believers have to suffer hopeless poverty?"

"I haven't been to the Haotian Divine Kingdom, and I don't know if it's as beautiful as it is described in the canon, but I know that the world under the Kingdom of God is not beautiful. So if Haotian's compassionate gaze does not fall on the human world for the time being, or when it is testing the human world, what should Haotian believers do? As they have done in the past countless years, bow down to the Xiling Temple, and then wait for the final salvation numbly and sadly? Everyone is guilty, what is the sin of the believers? Greed for material desires? The desire for wealth, the yearning for freedom, and the heart that cannot be at peace because of these?"

"These are all things that human beings cannot get rid of**, and if these are all sins, then they are original sins that cannot be completely erased. For these sins, Buddhism requires meditation and meditation, taking the road of curbing **, and Taoism is based on the believer's belief in Haotian, requiring believers to convert these ** into dedication, and the bridge in the middle is faith, only the academy has never restrained these sins. ”

Ye Su said: "These are all reasonable, but they all have shortcomings. Buddhism does not look at the present world, only hopes in the next life, Taoism does not look at reality, only hopes in the kingdom of God, the academy set the Tang law, but it is still the role of the leader, and the requirements for the individual's own quality are too high. I've been wondering these days if there is any other way to make this world full of original sin a little better. ”

Ning Que looked at him and asked, "What method?"

Ye Su said: "Haotian will save us at the end of life, then in the stage of life continuation, who will save us? ”

Ning Que was silent for a long time and said, "So you teach those children. ”

Ye Su said: "This is just the beginning. ”

Ning Que looked into his eyes and said, "According to the teachings, only Haotian is qualified to save the world, and your current thoughts and actions can already be considered blasphemy by Haotian. ”

Ye Su said: "Haotian loves the world, how can he not allow the world to save himself?"

Ning Que looked at him in the twilight, not knowing what to say.

With the passage of time, if this person really succeeds in preaching, perhaps this neighborhood full of sewage and garbage will become a holy place in Haotian Taoism in the future, because he will definitely become a saint.

Of course, it is more likely that this former Daomen walker may be tied to a wooden frame by those red-clothed priests in the Xiling Temple, and then burned into a charred corpse.

(Yesterday I said that I saved the manuscript, only wrote a few hundred words, this chapter is too difficult to write, my first thought, was to make a Protestant or something like that, but I found that the ability to be strict is insufficient, no matter how much religious history is in vain, without that ability, don't want to do this kind of thing, in the future, I will only write pictures, and I will not write these things that I can't understand, and then I have to prepare to go out, until the twelfth, I can only try to have an update, and when I come back, I must work hard to write, so that everyone is satisfied.)
