Chapter 47: Master and Apprentice Discuss the Tao

In a blink of an eye, the holiday was almost over, and on the third day before the start of school, Qingshi was practicing boxing, and suddenly received a message from Master Ou Changzhi, saying that he had come back and asked him to come over. Qingshi hurriedly took a boat to Ou Changzhi's residence, Xiaoluhu No. 1 Mansion.

After entering the door, Qingshi found that in addition to Ou Changzhi, Mo Sihai and Gui Huadong were also there. Qingshi stepped forward to greet them one by one. Ou Changzhi seemed to be in a good mood, chatting and laughing with the three disciples.

Qingshi took out the peach brew and a line of fire and gave it to the master and the two senior brothers, the three of them were extremely surprised after tasting it, and the four of them chatted while drinking the peach brew.

Ou Changzhi first asked about the situation of Qingshi's holiday, and Qingshi told him one by one that several people were very curious about the interaction with Zhong Buli and Zhong Buqi's brothers, and Gui Huadong was even more so, and Ou Changzhi and Mo Sihai also agreed with Chen Tianye's interaction.

Ou Changzhi smiled and said to Qingshi: "In the future, you don't have to deliberately hide that I am a disciple, but there is no need to publicize it." ”

Bluestone even remembered it.

Mo Sihai saw that Qingshi wanted to speak and stopped, knowing that he wanted to know why, he immediately smiled and said: "In the past, I didn't let you reveal my identity because the enemy who assassinated the master had not been found, and I was afraid that he would attack you, but now that the enemy has been solved, naturally there is no need to deliberately keep it secret." ”

Gui Huadong said loudly: "Yan Lihuang, this old witch, dared to send someone to sneak into the school to attack the master, it was really self-defeating, this attack, my senior brother and I joined forces to dismantle her, and finally solved the hatred in my heart." ”

Qingshi couldn't help but ask carefully, Gui Huadong came one by one, it turned out to be one of Ou Changzhi's former enemies - Yan Lihuang, the owner of Haiyanmen, in order to avenge her husband, actually arranged an undercover infiltration academy for more than 20 years, blended into the academy management, and finally found an opportunity to attack Ou Changzhi.

Such an undercover agent is usually unaware, but once this kind of thing is done, how can he withstand the investigation of Mo Sihai and other high-level leaders of the academy, so the undercover agent is exposed and finds out the real culprit behind the scenes.

During the holiday, Ou Changzhi personally led a total of 160 elders of Mo Sihai Guihua Huadong Academy, Dharma Protectors and Yuehuamen masters, and wiped out the entire Haiyanmen in one fell swoop.

Nahai Yanmen is the great religion of the protector of the Xihai Kingdom, with 13,000 members, and Ou Changzhi led the people to not only eradicate it and plunder its accumulated resources and wealth, but also coerce the Xihai Kingdom to make huge compensation.

At this time, Qingshi had a deeper understanding of the strength of the academy and the division, and it was not empty talk to raise his hand to destroy the country.

And the martial arts and bloody vendetta in this world, even people with good intentions like Ou Changzhi Mo Sihai could not be avoided, if it weren't for the two of them not agreeing, Gui Huadong would have destroyed the entire Xihai Kingdom long ago.

Mo Sihai saw that Qingshi's expression seemed to be a little gloomy, and he thought for a moment: "Little junior brother, what you feel in the academy is a peace, and he will know the bloodiness and cruelty of the whole world when he walks out of the school gate and steps into the rivers and lakes." Shizun let Yan Lihuang and his descendants go back then, but in exchange for such good deeds, they were deliberately planned, lurking, and vicious revenge that they did not give up for decades, do you say that we should not completely eradicate them this time? ”

"Senior brother is right!" Qingshi said sincerely, "It should be completely eradicated." "Qingshi understands the truth, this world is like this.

In fact, the earth is not necessarily more civilized than the Tianlong world, even under the cloak of modern social civilization, bloody killings are not uncommon, but there are more hypocrisy and cunning and other dirtier things.

It's just that no matter what world he is in, Qingshi's heart always hopes for more peace and less killing.

Ou Changzhi said slowly: "Qingshi, it's a good thing that you have good thoughts in your heart, and the teacher doesn't want you to do things against your heart." ”

Gui Huadong said: "Master, you are too kind and benevolent, that's why there is this incident, you pitied their orphans and widows back then, but this time, you had to destroy them together with the next generation and even the clansmen and sects, if you want me to say, your kindness back then was a mistake, and now you have to make up for this mistake with more killing." ”

"Fourth Senior Brother!" Mo Sihai shouted.

"Am I not right?" Gui Huadong said, "If what I said is not right, please give me advice." ”

Ou Changzhi was speechless for a while.

Qingshi secretly thought that Gui Huadong usually seemed to be cynical, but in fact, he saw the cause and effect of the world very clearly, and his words were impossible to refute for a while.

After a long time, Ou Changzhi said slowly: "Huadong is right, I did make a mistake in this matter back then. However, in East China, you only saw Yan Lihuang's revenge, but you don't know how many times you have encountered such a situation in your life, and how many enemies' wives and children have been spared, but there is no one in a hundred who has viciously retaliated like Yan Lihuang. Therefore, I was wrong about Yan Lihuang, but it doesn't mean that what I did was wrong. In fact, I don't feel how noble I am when I do it right, and I don't feel how much chagrin I feel when I do it wrong. So I thought about it just now, if time could go back to the past, for Yan Lihuang, I would still let them go. ”

Speaking of this, Ou Changzhi turned his head to Qingshi and said, "Do you understand what I mean?" ”

"I think I understand what you mean!" Qingshi said, "We should follow our own heart in doing things, we should not care too much about the so-called right and wrong, and we should not consider the pros and cons too much, so that we can not violate our original intention, and only by not violating our original heart can we make our cultivation reach the highest level." Is it? ”

"Good!" Ou Changzhi nodded and said, "Huadong, you think I'm merciful, it's because my heart is benevolent, not because I want others to think I'm benevolent, so I make a benevolent move." If I kill innocent people indiscriminately in order not to put myself in danger of retaliation, it will be against my true heart, and then my desire for the ultimate pursuit of the Tao will be affected. That's what I meant by keeping Qingshi in a kind nature, not that he had to be kind and do good deeds. ”

"So, Master, do you think we should do good deeds?" Gui Huadong still didn't quite understand, "Or does it matter whether you do good deeds or not?" ”

"Of course I think I should do good deeds," Ou Changzhi said, "I think I should do good deeds because I am a kind person, so I think so, not because the moral values of the world say that we need to do good, I feel that we should do good." I also feel that it is important to do good deeds because I am a kind person, so I want others to do good deeds with the same kindness as I do. ”

"Then Master, do you want me to do good deeds?" Gui Huadong can have insight into the world, but it is difficult to examine his own heart.

"I hope you don't do things against your heart, just as I taught Qingshi." Ou Changzhi Road.

"What if I'm a person without kindness?" Gui Huadong continued to ask, "Then wouldn't it be against my heart for you to ask me to do good deeds?" ”

This time, Ou Changzhi Mo and the four seas laughed together.

Mo Sihai said with a smile: "Fourth junior brother, if you are a wicked person with no good heart, will this kind-hearted person still accept you as a disciple of Master?" ”

"Am I kind?" Gui Huadong seemed to be a little unsure about himself, "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have been ready to destroy the Xihai Kingdom, which is also called kindness?" ”

"Do you think that if you want to destroy the West Sea Kingdom and we stop it, we have more kindness than you, right?" Mo Sihai said, "In the eyes of some people, it is a great evil deed for us to destroy the Haiyanmen and kill thousands of people, where is there any kindness." ”

"You, you still can't understand it!" Ou Changzhi patiently said to Gui Huadong, "If you have a good heart, you must do everything according to the world's standards of good deeds?" Wouldn't that be the same as going against your heart? Kindness is not important, what matters is the heart, and the reason why we value the so-called goodness is only because our heart is good, so it is by nature. We are cultivators, so how can we allow the worldly moral code to restrain our own heart and nature? ”

"I seem to understand," Gui Huadong said slowly, after a long silence, "we are cultivators, so we can't be constrained by worldly moral norms and affect our cultivation. We do good not because the world needs us to do good, but because we are all people who are good by nature, and our good intentions drive us to do good things naturally, so doing good deeds for us is following our natural nature and cultivating. It doesn't matter if we're kind or not in the eyes of others. If we care about what others think about us as good or not, then our hearts have been affected. If we change our original intention because of other people's opinions, we are going against our hearts. Is that right? ”

Qingshi really admires this fourth senior brother, once he is enlightened, what he summed up is very clear and understandable. Qingshi had already understood what Shizun meant, but he couldn't express it as clearly as Gui Huadong.

"That's right!" Ou Changzhi stroked his long beard with satisfaction and laughed, and then added, "We have good thoughts and good deeds, which are all in accordance with the nature of kindness, but in addition to our good nature, we also have seven emotions and six desires, love and hatred, and disgust and like. When I let go of Yan Lihuang's mother and son, in the eyes of some people, I was doing good, but for me, it was just following my nature, and now I have destroyed her all over the house, in the eyes of some people, it is evil, but for me, it is still according to my nature. As for whether it is good or evil, no one is qualified to judge, and I don't care, this is not against the heart, do you understand?. ”

All three of them answered together.

In recent decades, Ou Changzhi has not preached for his disciples like this at all, and this time it seems that he is enlightening Gui Huadong, but he is actually solving the doubts of Qingshi's preaching.

For Qingshi, he was naturally very satisfied, seeing that Qingshi had a very high understanding, Ou Changzhi was still unsatisfied, and asked Qingshi: "Qingshi, you understand what it means not to violate your heart, but do you know why for monks to do things without violating their heart?" ”

"The disciple has some understanding," Qingshi said, "human power cannot conquer the sky, people have birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the law of heaven and earth." The ultimate goal of our cultivation is to get rid of birth, old age, sickness and death, and to achieve that human power can conquer the heavens, which is to go against the heavens, that is, to break the laws of heaven and earth. If we consider the gains and losses of interests everywhere when we act, or cater to the preferences of others, or are limited by the world's moral norms and violate our own hearts, then we don't even dare to violate the rules of the world, how can we break the laws of heaven and earth? ”

"Very good!" Ou Changzhi said, "But you also have to understand that if we want to cultivate to the extreme, it is necessary to have the heart to dare to go against the sky, but it is not enough to have a heart, after all, we still have to survive and compete in the world, and we must act according to our will, not to mention violating the laws of heaven and earth, even if we go against the will of those who exercise authority, we may also be eradicated and die." The wisdom contained in how to behave, how to act, and how to gain the lead on the path of cultivation without violating one's own heart needs to be understood by each person, and I hope that you can achieve enlightenment as soon as possible and eventually achieve positive results. ”

"Disciple understands!" Bluestone replied loudly.
