Ghost Road (11)
In the sea of dragons, the heavy rain of three days and three nights washed away all the prosperity of the city, and the young man saw the city being buried in the heavy rain, confused and at a loss. Suddenly a bell rang, and his confused eyes burst into bright light, and he bowed three times to the land god and the land woman, and then left in a hurry. Lin Feng, Shui Yunliu, and Jing Yan saw the back of the young man leaving in a hurry, and a strange feeling welled up in their hearts, feeling that they would see each other again.
Shui Yunliu greeted Lin Feng and Jingyan, and asked the two of them to worship the land god and the land woman. Puzzled, he stared at the two statues for a while, and said, "Brother Shui, we are cultivating the way out of the world, and we are practicing the merits of helping the world. Our achievements in the future are limitless, and this land god and the land woman are just small gods in the world, how can they afford our worship?"
Shui Yunliu listened, frowned, and asked sharply: "You can become a god now?" Jing Yan replied: "No." Shui Yunliu asked again: "What merits do you have now?" Jing Yan replied proudly: "Rebuild the book mountain, educate the world, and sublimate the morality of the world." Shui Yunliu then asked, "Have you done it?" Jing Yan shook his head.
Shui Yun said: "If you don't do it, what you say about helping the world is just empty words, what is there to be proud of?" Shui Yunliu said again: "Anyone can say big things, before it happens, they don't say anything, and who can say anything in the future." Although the land and the land woman are small gods in the world, they have merit, and for thousands of years, they have sheltered the people of this side, and their merits have been turned into substance. Quietly, how can you compare with them with illusory merits? Moreover, they are righteous gods, and we cultivators should respect them. If you don't even respect God, what do you respect?
If you don't respect any god who is less than you. In the future, if your achievements are higher than those of the Three Qing Patriarchs, will you not even respect your ancestors? Jing Yan, if you still have this kind of thought, no matter how great your merits are, you will not be able to achieve positive results. Because your disrespect for God will wash away all your merits. ”
Jing Yan's face was pale, and he said with a crying voice: "Brother Shui, I was wrong. Shui Yunliu sighed and said, "The object you should confess is not me, but two gods." With that, he pointed to the two idols.
Jing Yan walked to the statue of the land and the god of the land woman, knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed three times with a bang. While kowtowing, he said: "Land, land, I am young and ignorant, please forgive me." ”
When he got up, he accidentally stepped on the corner of his clothes, and immediately fell to the ground, and his head accidentally hit the offering table, and the blood flowed in an instant. Seeing this, Shui Yun said: "Quiet words, and then kowtow to the land and the land woman three times, and the heart must be successful." ”
Jing Yan said "oh", and kowtowed to the land and the land woman three times aggrievedly. Shui Yunliu frowned and shouted: "Come again, the heart must be successful." Shui Yunliu said the five words "the heart must become" very seriously, Lin Feng saw Jingyan pitiful on the side, and wanted to help, but was stopped by Shui Yunliu.
Jing Yan looked at the water rhyme, looked at the two statues again, and kowtowed three more times, and said while kowtowing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "Knock, knock, "wow" cried. Seeing this, Shui Yunliu said, "Okay, get up." ”
Jing Yanfang stood up from the ground. Lin Feng hurriedly walked to Jing Yan's side and bandaged his wounds. Shui Yunliu walked up to the two statues, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for your mercy. With that, he left with Jingyan and Lin Feng.
Jing Yan was preoccupied along the way, always secretly looking at Shui Yunliu from the corner of his eye, and whenever Shui Yunliu looked at him, he moved away with a weak heart. Shui Yunliu sighed and said to Jing Yan: "I know what you have to say, don't blame Brother Shui for being strict with you." Cultivation is a serious matter, and if the human heart is not right, it will not achieve positive results. Although we are walking the road of helping the world and saving people, there are immeasurable merits, and some small mistakes can be cultivated while unemployed, but as the holy king of a world that may become a party in the future, if you are not demanding of yourself, how can your world be harmonious, and a little mistake will become a flaw in your world, and your immeasurable sentient beings will suffer more because of your flaw, and some may not be able to get into your world.
Now, if you are not even righteous, how can you correct people's hearts and nurture the world. Know that your words and deeds are no longer your own, but the path of the Dharma you are in.
Silence, God's mercy is beyond our comprehension. In the Land Temple, your actions can gradually wash away all your merits. The reason why you broke your head and bled in the land temple is because the land and the land woman are merciful to you and are helping you eliminate your karma. ”
Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Brother Shui, why don't you tell me in the Land Temple?" Shui Yun replied: "It is not appropriate for people to maintain a good heart in the confusion; If so, you know the cause of the fall in the temple, even if you sincerely thank the land and the land woman, what is the use? Don't think that the difference between 'sincerity' and 'sincerity' is not a big deal, but the fruit is heaven and earth. The gods and Buddhas look at people's hearts and like 'sincere' people more. ”
Lin Feng, Shui Yunliu, Jing Yan out of the land temple, all the way to the west, when the water is around, every forest will pass, unconsciously, dusk, the three people in the forest, suddenly heard a beast roar, it was a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes pounced on Jing Yan. It is also strange to say that this white tiger saw that he was about to pounce on Jing Yan, but he suddenly turned around in a hurry, and said again and again: "I'm sorry, I saw it wrong." ”
Jing Yan was taken aback. Lin Feng was amazed when he heard the words of the big tiger. Shui Yunliu felt quite funny, and a leap landed behind the big tiger, dragging its tail deadly, and said: "You big tiger is so strange, there are black and white substances in the human body, although you can't see it, but you can see the spiritual light on the good man." Jing Yan is a ghost path destiny, and the aura on his body is like a vast star, how can you say that you are wrong? Could it be that you, a beast, can't eat good people, and only fade when you see me and wait for a powerful person?"
The big tiger prostrated on the ground aggrievedly, and whimpered: "The immortal spares his life! This is really no wonder of me! That kid is so evil." When I first saw him, there was no light on him. When I pounced on him, I found that the aura was like a vast star, but the aura was covered by a layer of black gas. I wonder if this kid has done something immoral, so that this aura is covered by black gas?"
Shui Yunliu listened, looked at Jingyan, and said to the big tiger: "You go." "Release the tiger's tail. The big tiger ran wildly and immediately fled. Lin Fengjue was surprised to see it, so he asked Shui Yunliu: "Senior brother, why does this big tiger know the words of people?
Shui Yun Liufu asked, "Senior brother, do you know that everything has life?" Lin Feng nodded and replied, "I have heard my teacher say it, but I don't understand it very well. Shui Yun said: "Everyone in the world knows the six reincarnations, but they don't know that these six reincarnations refer to the vast sentient beings in this world. The first is a man, the second is an animal, and the third is a vegetative ...... Where are the six realms of reincarnation? The flower, this tree, and this stone that we see now cannot be said to have been a human being in any life and suffered calamity in this life because of his ungood deeds, nor can he say that he will have a human body in the next life, and that the appearance of this life is to accumulate the fate of the afterlife.
The world is called the maze by the gods, all because of people's lust and negative karma, and there are cloudy eyes, which cannot see the essence of this thing. But man is ultimately the spirit of all things, conceived by the universe or born of beings in the upper realm, and has many special functions, but is buried by acquired fame, fortune and greed. If you return to the innate avenue and return to the basics, these special functions will be restored. Among these functions, there is a function called Heavenly Ear Pass, which can hear the language of the joys and sorrows of all beings in the Three Realms and the Six Realms, and hear all the sounds of the world. We are all cultivators, and we are walking this road of helping the world and saving people, so it is not surprising that we have this ear communication function. It's not that the big tiger can understand human language, but that we can all understand the tiger language of the big tiger.
The world is a quagmire, and the gods of the upper realm dare not be easily contaminated, lest they fall into it if they stumble. Although there are many dangers in this world, it is also a place where great waves wash sand, and the more difficult the place, the easier it is to produce virtuous people. If a person is good, the gods and Buddhas will protect him, and the evil will not dare to invade him, and if he seeks the Tao and wants to jump out of this deep quagmire, a single thought can shake the world in the ten directions and pierce the cosmic firmament. This great tiger did not dare to eat people, let alone eat our cultivators. ”
Lin Feng listened and nodded. Jing Yan was suspicious: "Brother Shui, you said that tigers don't eat people." But how often do I hear people say that tigers are going to eat people?" Shui Yun said: "Tigers don't eat people, they only eat animals." The people it eats are those who have no human form and no humanity. Most people still have a conscience, and there will be a spiritual light above their heads. When the tiger sees the light, he will never be violent. If a person's conscience is completely destroyed, his head will be completely lost, that is, he will be with the beast, and the tiger will be eaten. In fact, it is not only tigers that do not eat people, but all carnivores are like this, and they only eat animals and animals. ”
The applause of "pop pop" came from far and near. Lin Feng, Shui Yunliu, and Jing Yan followed the prestige, only to see a Dao Gu wearing a wide-sleeved blue robe and wrapping her hair in a bun with a white cloth slowly coming from the depths of the forest. Lin Feng, Shui Yunliu, Jing Yan but felt familiar, take a closer look, this Dao Gu is the flower god who lives in the cherry blossom field outside the city of Lihai.
The three of them worship the god of flowers and thank him for his grace in the light of the sea disaster. The flower god said: "I and the mountain god, the land and the land wife, there is something to ask the three of them." Shui Yunliu said: "The god of flowers is to say, we must do our best to complete the entrustment of the three gods." ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, you'll still go to a place with me, and let the mountain god tell you to wait. With that, he flicked his sleeves and led the three of them to the bank of a river. The river is so wide that there is no end in sight. The river is fast, the water is dark yellow, and there is a lot of sediment mixed in the water. The god of flowers beckoned to Lin Feng and the three of them, walked quickly towards the river, stepped on the surface of the lake with both feet, and every step he took, there must be a green lotus leaf paving the road, which was wonderful. Seeing the water rhyme, he forgot to forget it all around, picked up a few long grasses, tied a crane, and threw the "crane" into the air, and the "grass crane" became a "real crane". Lin Feng, Shui Yunliu, and Jing Yan all got on the body of the crane, controlled by Shui Yunliu, and followed behind the flower god.
"Brother Mountain God, I've arrived with the Ghost Dao Destiny, why don't you show up soon?"
The god of flowers led Lin Feng and the three of them across the river, and then led the three of them to the foot of a large mountain. This mountain is rocky and sparsely vegetated. The god of flowers suddenly roared towards the mountain, but saw that the hundred stones in the mountain shook, the birds flew in shock, and the beasts roared continuously. It turned out that the mountain moved, and it turned into a giant man.
"Ghost Dao Destiny, hello. The mountain god said: "I have lived here for more than 10,000 years, and it used to be a beautiful mountain, and I have seen the most simple human beings, and I have also seen human beings who kill each other for greed.
A hundred years ago, people reclaimed the mountains and built the city of Tonghai, which was the most prosperous city I have ever seen, and it was also the most corrupt city. The whole city, except for a young man, were beasts, so the heavens wanted to rebuild the land, and there was the calamity that you had seen.
Although it is called the 'sea', there are no seas or rivers around it, so there is no water god. Now, after the disaster and the river, there is a water god in charge to help me and the god of flowers, the land and the land to benefit this land, and wait for the people of the future to settle down. Unfortunately, there is no suitable god to be sent here, so I hope that we can transform one of us into a god of water.
I have candidates with the god of flowers, the land and the land woman, and we don't know who to choose, so I would like to ask you to analyze and help investigate. ”
Shui Yunliu said: "In this case, then I have the courage to ask them a question, 'Why are there so many disasters in the world, busy, and suffering, and what is the root cause of evil?' ”
