Chapter 53: Yu Ze Zhong
The power of faith?
"You're making me a cult leader?"
Liang Xingyang looked at him in shock, stood up, and refused Cangjie's proposal without thinking, "I don't do this kind of thing. ”
In modern times, although he is eager to become famous, he has a bottom line, no matter how down, he does not want to use his identity as a Taoist priest to promote superstition, collect money everywhere, and travel here, before the people's wisdom is opened, there is no such idea.
Not only did he not, but he also tried to persuade Cangjie to dispel this idea, and said earnestly: "Do you need to vigorously develop believers to get that power of faith?" Where do believers come from? The first is superstition, and the second is mind control. These two things are hurtful things, we can't do it! To be a man, you must have a conscience, you must have a bottom line, and you can't do anything for fame and fortune. ”
Cangjie saw that he had a serious face, twisted his beard, motioned for him to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Where do you want to go." Narrow belief is a kind of behavior, through which they revere people and things to produce beliefs, even specific images, and finally evolve into a personality cult, blindly following the instructions of the other party. True faith, however, is very different......"
"It's just a simple faith, a simple source of power. Insects, fish, birds and beasts, the sun, the moon and the stars, up to the righteous path, down to the demons, or the ancestral spirits of all parties, and even the human ethics and discipline, there is no consensus. From ancient times to the present, in addition to the immortals who were born with a divine body, there is also a mortal who has merit on his body and the power of faith, and finally is given the name of an immortal, given an immortal body, and finally becomes an immortal. ”
At this, he paused slightly and took a slight breath.
Liang Xingyang felt something in his heart, forced his composure, and there still didn't seem to be any superfluous expression on his face, but in fact, the hands on his knees had already been clenched into fists.
After a while, Cangjie spoke again, "In Xiao Yang's heart, what kind of person can become an immortal?" ”
Liang Xingyang replied: "The immortals in my heart are ancestors, sages, martyrs, philosophers and those who protect us. ”
Just like Cangjie in front of him, if he hadn't invented writing and created the foundation of civilization, he would not have been revered as "Wenzu Cangjie" in Taoism alone. Another example is Fu Xi, if he had not created gossip, taught people to make nets for fishing and hunting, reformed marriage customs, started to create writing, used it for memorization, replaced the previous form of knotted rope memorization, invented musical instruments such as Tao Xun and Qin Se, created music and ballads, brought music into people's lives, and a series of actions that had a profound impact on later generations, he would not have been known as the ancestor of the Chinese nation and humanities, one of the three emperors; Another example is that Pangu did not open the sky, Nuwa did not create man, and Kuafu did not chase the sun...... With just one god body, the name of an immortal, how can it be constantly praised by future generations?
Throughout the 5,000 years of the Celestial Empire, there are countless romantic figures, who can be honored as a god is not a person who has made meritorious contributions and made his own efforts for the society, the nation, and the world?
Of course, the above psychological words can't be said to Cangjie, otherwise it is equivalent to pointing at the other party and saying, oops, you old bones have been dead with us for thousands of years, and there is no scum left, but it doesn't matter, in order to commemorate you, we also built a temple to commemorate you, are you happy?
Liang Xingyang thought to himself that if he dared to say it, he would probably immediately embark on the road to find his grandmother.
Therefore, after spitting out a sentence with great reservation, he refused to speak again, staring at Cangjie silently.
Cangjie didn't know Liang Xingyang's belly, and when he heard his answer, the smile on his face deepened, and he stroked his palms and said, "Sure enough, there is Huigen!" So you should know how to do it next, right? ”
"Ahem......" Liang Xingyang was so frightened by his words that he almost choked to death with saliva. It was not easy to calm down, staring at Cangjie and saying in a lost voice: "You also think too highly of me, right?" I am just an ordinary little person, before I came here, my biggest wish was just to save more money, build a small Taoist temple, so that my master can enjoy his old age in peace, just such a small goal, I have struggled for more than 20 years and have not completed it, where can I do anything earth-shattering? ”
"Who told you to do big things?" only praised him for having a wisdom root, but he didn't expect that he would immediately leak air in the next second, Cangjie glared at him angrily, "Didn't I say it just now, there is another kind of immortal who is a mortal with merit and the power of faith, and finally was given the name of an immortal by people and given an immortal body, if you do more good deeds, won't you have merit?" Sometimes your small gesture can help others out of trouble, and others have renewed hope because of your good deeds, have expectations for the future, and are willing to work hard for them, then don't you have the power of faith? Finally, there is naturally a fairy body. ”
"Isn't that hard?" Cangjie asked with a glare.
"It doesn't seem too difficult to hear you say that." Liang Xingyang glanced at him hesitantly, and hesitated: "Then I just do good deeds?" ”
Cangjie snorted and didn't speak.
Liang Xingyang asked again: "Then how many good things do I have to do to have an immortal body?" ”
"I can't say."
Cangjie paused, took out an hourglass-shaped object about three inches high from the hidden pocket in his sleeve and handed it to him, one end was filled with fine golden sand, and the other was empty. Liang Xingyang took it and stood the hourglass on the stone table, filled with sand at the top and empty at the bottom, but the strange thing was that the sand did not fall.
Is this broken?
Liang Xingyang couldn't help but shake it up and down, left and right in his hand, but the result was still the same, not a single sand fell.
He couldn't help but look at Cangjie, but heard Cangjie say: "This thing is called Yuze Bell, you can take it and put it away." When you do good deeds and gain the power of faith, the fine sand inside will fall, and when all the golden sand flows into the other end, you will have the immortal body. ”
“…… Oh. ”
Hearing that this treasure was his own success timer, Liang Xingyang hurriedly put it away carefully, lest it bump into it, muttered for a moment, and discussed: "I haven't had anything to do lately, so I'll go outside tomorrow to do good deeds?" ”
Cangjie was speechless and said: "For your own selfish desires, even if you do good deeds, Yu Zezhong will not count them." ”
"So what do I do now?" Liang Xingyang humbly asked.
Cangjie glanced at him and reminded, "Have you forgotten your fate?" ”
When someone destined comes to the door, won't the opportunity for him to do good deeds and collect the power of faith will come?
When he said this, Liang Xingyang suddenly realized, "Yes, when someone is destined to come to the door, I will try to help them solve the problem, isn't it also a good deed?" Why scurry around like a headless fly? ”
Seeing that he finally understood, the old god of Cangjie picked up a candied fruit on the ground and threw it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's not too stupid." ”
Liang Xingyang smiled and patted his ass: "Isn't this how well you and your masters have taught you?" ”
Cangjie didn't eat his set, and scolded with a smile: "Flim tongue." If you have nothing to do in the evening, hurry back and think about how to repair the village house, so as not to delay my old man's rest here. ”
Liang Xingyang looked up at the sky, the bright moon was already hanging in the treetops, it was indeed not early, and immediately said "hey", said goodnight to Cangjie, picked up the Yuze Bell, and walked out happily.
Walking to the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly paused, looked back at Cangjie, and said suspiciously: "Cangfuzi, are all the words you just said true?" Don't worry that I'm lazy, negatively deal with things entrusted by destined people, and deliberately make up these words to deceive me, right? ”
Cangjie: "......"
After a few seconds, he threw away the pastry in his hand and jumped to his feet: "Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, leave Yu Ze Zhong behind, and get out!" ”
Who are these old bones who bothered to toss out Yu Ze Zhong and try to make up for his shortcomings?
But the little cub still doubted their intentions.
I don't know the hearts of good people, hum!
Seeing that he was angry, Liang Xingyang hurriedly said: "I just asked casually." ”
As soon as the words fell, the person hugged Yu Ze Zhong and ran away.
Seeing this, Cangjie couldn't help but scolded again, "Little lamb, what are you doing running so fast, the door is not closed!" ”
Outside the courtyard, listening to Cangjie's scolding, Liang Xingyang shook the Yuze Bell in his hand, and said with a contemplative face: "Is this because I have debunked it, and I am embarrassed and angry?" ”
……
For example, last time I went to Ninghe Town to grab the Demon Pill. For another example, this time he was going to snatch back the demon pill from Liang Xingyang.
Of course, the premise is that the demon pill is indeed in the hands of Liang Xingyang.
"This time, you follow to Ninghe Town, find an opportunity to get the demon pill back, and pay attention to his movements by the way."
That day, after seeing Bai Hong, Liang Xingyang's kid seemed to be preoccupied, and he was absent-minded when talking to him, although he kept saying that he and Bai Hong were just chatting casually, but Chang'an Yujie didn't believe it at all, and only thought that he didn't tell the truth.
Qingzhen carefully wrote down Chang'an Yuju's instructions, paused, and asked out loud: "How is Master sure that the demon pill is in Liang Xingyang's hands?" ”
You must know that Liang Xingyang does not have demonic energy.
Chang'an Yujie saw the thoughts in his heart at a glance, and said, "The demon pill was in his hand before, can you all see it?" ”
Hearing this, Qingzhen's face changed, thinking that when he was in Ninghe Town, it was clear that the demon pill was in Liang Xingyang's hands, but he didn't notice it at all, so he quickly knelt down, bowed his head and said, "It's the disciple who is incompetent, please ask the master to surrender." ”
Chang'an Yujie waved his hand to get him up, and said: "I don't blame you for this, I didn't even find Yin Zhengxin and Changqing Changguang, I can only say that Bai Hong's means reach the sky, and he can actually use secret methods to hide the demonic energy on the demon pill." ”
After a pause, Chang'an Yujie continued: "The demon pill is owned by the demon, and it is an existence that the demon clan regards as more important than life, and it will not be easily touched by others, let alone handed over to others at will. From the beginning when she took the initiative to hand over the demon pill to Liang Xingyang for safekeeping, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is not so unfamiliar as it seems. Later, the beast that had followed Bai Hong for many years showed his closeness to Liang Xingyang the moment he saw him, which showed that the two sides had a great friendship. ”
Not to mention, during the time that Bai Hong was detained, she tried to inquire about Liang Xingyang's recent situation from time to time, and inadvertently showed her concern.
"Maybe the demon pill was not lost at all, it has always been in Liang Xingyang's hands." Chang'an Yujie boldly guessed.
However, even if they knew the whereabouts of the Demon Pill, could they find Liang Xingyang openly and ask him to hand over the Demon Pill?
Not to mention whether Liang Xingyang is willing or not, the owner of the demon pill is still there, how are they qualified to ask for it?
Fortunately, God had mercy, and when Chang'an Yujie was at a loss, Liang Xingyang took the initiative to leave Xuantian Sect.
It's really a pillow when you're sleepy.
Chang'an Yuju's mood was really indescribable, and he turned his head to Changqing and repeated the instructions uneasily, "You have been by his side during this time, and you have paid attention to Liang Xingyang's every move." I suspect that in addition to the demon pill, Bai Hong also confessed to others. ”
Otherwise, that kid stayed well in Tianshu Peak, why did he suddenly propose to leave after seeing Bai Hong.
Qingzhen understood and answered, "Yes." ”
"One more ......" Although Chang'an Yujie believed in Qing Zhen's ability very much, she still gave one more instruction, "You said before that a family member has seen you and Qing Xuan, although that family has been dealt with by you, just in case, take advantage of this opportunity to return to Ninghe Town to handle that matter more cleanly, and don't leave any clues." ”
"Yes." Qingzhen's expression was as respectful as ever, and there was no dissatisfaction, and he replied in a deep voice.
Chang'an Yujie nodded with satisfaction, waved him back to pack his luggage, and met in front of the mountain gate on time.
Qing Zhen bowed and saluted, and then turned to leave.
After selecting the disciples who accompanied him, Qingzhen returned to the house non-stop, took out a change of Taoist robe from the closet, and as soon as he touched it, he felt that something was wrong.
