Chapter 43: Good and Evil, Good and Evil
The woman's smile is even more charming and moving, perhaps because she has just come out of the spring, she smiled lightly, just like a hibiscus out of the water, without the slightest dust of the world.
Her beauty is different from Ling Yiyi, Ling Yiyi has a little more playfulness, and she has a little more evil.
Li Moru asked, "By the way, girl, I don't know what your name is?"
The woman smiled, Li Moru was different from many people he had seen before, which gave him some novelty, "My name is Mo Xuan'er, you can call me Mo Xuan'er." ”
Li Moru said: "Miss Xuan'er, do you know where the branch of the Maitreya Sect is? ”
Mo Xuan'er walked up to Li Moru barefoot and said, "That's it, I know where the branch of the Maitreya Sect is, I'll take you in, but no matter what happens, you have to listen to my arrangement." ”
Li Moru thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement when the time comes, but I said in advance that if I feel any danger, I'll take you away." ”
"Okay. ”
Mo Xuan'er's feet are also small among women, slender feet, and there is a lot of dirt on them.
Li Moru went to the room with the woman, put away the medicine bottle in the room, he picked up the black medicine bottle and asked, "Miss Xuan'er, can you give me this bottle?"
"Why did you suddenly think to take this thing?"
"Once I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, I want to take him with me, in case I will be poisoned by the crispy cartilage in the future. ”
Mo Xuan'er said while packing up the bottle: "Okay, I'll send you." ”
Although some were sprinkled, but fortunately, there was still half a bottle, Li Moru wanted to take it, and he also wanted to give himself a warning, telling himself not to act if he didn't know in the future.
After getting the medicine, Li Moru was more relieved, he asked Mo Xuan'er what kind of poison she had before, and why she only needed to go to the spring to soak it.
Mo Xuan'er couldn't help blushing when she heard this, she told Li Moru that if he wanted to know, he could give him the bottle of medicine, and he would know when he had the opportunity to try it himself.
Li Moru thought about it, but still forgot it, saying that he didn't look like a blood-sucking monster.
Mo Xuan'er couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
At night, the moon and stars were scarce, Li Moru followed behind Mo Xuan'er, and went up the mountain along a path, and the murmuring of the stream could be faintly heard around the path.
Li Moru asked her why they were going at night, Mo Xuan'er said, you just follow, why are you so much?
Li Moru had no choice but to follow her behind with her head down, the two were still wearing white clothes, and they both wrapped their hair in white scarves, although Li Moru felt a little weird, but she didn't dare to ask more, for fear that Mo Xuan'er would be angry.
The two of them took advantage of the moonlight to go up to a temple, and the entrance of the temple was guarded by two people wearing the same clothes as Li Moru, and they still had weapons in their hands.
Mo Xuan'er told him that when he walked to the door for a while, he must keep his chest up and his head up, and he couldn't walk with his head down, otherwise he would be in trouble if he was recognized.
Li Moru swaggered into the temple following her example, and sure enough, no one stopped them.
There were also people guarding everywhere in the temple, but Li Moru, who was following Mo Xuan'er, also became bolder.
A woman came out of the inner door, Mo Xuan'er didn't know what was said in her ear, she was in front of Li Moru and Mo Xuan'er to lead the way and lead them to the hall.
In the hall, there is a Buddha statue with kind eyebrows, a smile on his face, a bulging belly, his right hand is naturally flat on his knee, and his left hand is holding a string of Buddhist beads.
The Buddha statue in front of him is much different from Li Moru's impression, it is no longer so high, and it does not eat the nobility of the fireworks in the world, and it looks a lot closer to the people.
Mo Xuan'er pulled Li Moru to find a corner and sit down, saying that she would hear the sect leader of the White Lotus Sect come out and explain the teachings of the White Lotus Sect to them in a while.
Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe, wearing Buddhist beads, and a lotus crown on his head walked out, smiling, walked to an empty futon in front and sat down.
Everyone gestured with their hands in the air, and Li Moru also followed their example and gestured in the air, shouting the same slogan.
The man motioned with his right hand to the crowd.
Then he began to talk about the teachings of their White Lotus Sect: "All men are created equal, we are born between heaven and earth, Maitreya Buddha let me gather here, naturally we are a family, we should love each other, we should help each other for our family, we should communicate with each other, we must not fight and beat our family members privately, we do not allow bad people and wicked people to bully our family members." ”
"Everyone ploughs and plants together, and enjoys the fruits of labor together, so that there will be no distinction between superior and inferior, rich and poor, family harmony, love each other, and welcome the arrival of Maitreya Buddha together......
Li Moru listened to it for a long time, he had never listened to a Buddhist person say the scriptures so seriously, when the monks he met before gave lectures, he always contemplated the Bodhisattva in the deep Prajnaparamita, illuminated the five aggregates are empty, all suffering, relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true when you want to do knowledge.
It sounds infinitely mysterious, but Li Moru always feels that this kind of talk is fake and empty, and it is not as practical as what the person in front of him said.
He heard Mo Xuan'er say that these people in front of him were the branch of Maitreya Sect-White Lotus Sect, and he felt that such a doctrine was the most practical for the poor people, everyone loved each other, and naturally there would be no more fights and bullying.
But if the doctrine of Maitreya is like this, why do those famous and upright people in the rivers and lakes say that Maitreya is a demon religion? And the kind of people who kill one person is a bodhisattva, and those who kill ten people are ten bodhisattvas, slaughter monasteries, behead monks and nuns, and burn sutra statues, are these all made up by those people?
This made him even more confused, but those famous and decent people are all punishing adultery and eliminating evil, doing chivalrous things, if someone must be lying between the two of them, then who is lying?
Who is the right snake or the evil? Is it evil to punish the evil and eliminate the evil? Or is it good?
The White Lotus Sect in front of them, they preach that all the four seas are brothers, everyone fights against the suffering in front of them, unites together, and faces all kinds of injustices in the world together, are they evil? Or are they good?
But if they are good, then why are they demon cults, and what are they exactly?
Li Moru has fallen into a powerless struggle, he doesn't know who he should help, or should he stand by and watch and not help each other?
After the crowd dispersed, he and Mo Xuan'er left the temple, and he asked Mo Xuan'er, "Miss Xuan'er, what is good and what is evil, what is good and what is evil?"
"I don't understand, why the White Lotus Sect is called a demon sect by the famous and decent sects, and if the White Lotus Sect is right, then are those famous and decent sects evil?"
"But they are obviously doing chivalrous things, are chivalrous things evil and evil?"
Mo Xuan'er said with a smile: "Don't come to ask me this kind of question, I can't answer you, isn't there a saying in Taoism, everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, evil is evil, everyone knows that good is good, and it is not good." Who can judge whether it is good or evil, and what is the criterion for judging?"
Li Moru is a little confused, this is not the same thing as the good and evil in the novels he saw, in those, the gods are good, the monsters are evil, and the monsters do all evil, so the monsters are evil, and the gods go down to save the world, so the gods are good.
The heroes he looks at are evil for the people, those who harm the people are evil, and those who save the people are good.
But the matter in front of him seems to be much more complicated, the evil in the mouth of the righteous people is telling the poor people to unite, not to do evil, to love each other, and the righteous people want to kill these demon cults in their mouths, who is the evil in the end?
Li Moru was silent all the way, never figuring out the cause and effect relationship.
He recalled that Huiyang Daoist said before that there would be darkness if there was light, and the relationship between tigers and people, whether tigers were evil or people were evil.
All of a sudden, it seemed to have been discussed, and he couldn't accept it, and he was a little confused.
The world was spinning before his eyes, until, unconscious, at a shout.
When he woke up again, he was already lying in the bamboo house, Mo Xuan'er picked up the towel on his head and changed the water in the basin on the side, then pinched it and put it on his head.
He touched his head and asked, "Miss Xuan'er, what's wrong with me?"
"I also said that I was walking well, and suddenly I fainted, and I was as heavy as a cow, but I was tired miserably. ”
Li Moru got up, took off the towel on his head, and said, "Thank you, Miss Xuan'er, I don't know what's wrong, I just think about things, and when I think about it, I suddenly feel a headache, and in an instant, the world is spinning, and I faint." ”
Mo Xuan'er said: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, how can things in the world be so easy to figure out, my father told me, there are some things, you don't have to think about it, no matter how you think about it, there will be no result, you are you, you just need to follow your heart." ”
Li Moru muttered to himself, "I am me, just follow my heart?"
"Yes, who can tell him what is good and evil, good and evil, good and evil? I am me, I just need to follow my own heart, why do you want to do so much?"
Li Moru was so happy that she hugged Mo Xuan'er in front of her tightly, "Yes, I am me, I am me." ”
Mo Xuan'er said: "What are you doing? Hurry up and let go of me, otherwise I will shout indecent." ”
Li Moru hurriedly let go and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Xuan'er, I just ...... Nothing, thank you Miss Xuan'er. ”
Mo Xuan'er glanced at him and said, "I don't know what to do, you are a god-like person, and you don't know what you're talking about." ”
Coo~, Li Moru covered her stomach and smiled: "Miss Xuan'er, I don't know if you have anything to eat here?"
Mo Xuan'er said, I have a kitchen here, but I don't know how to cook, and I seem to have something to eat here, I forgot, do you know how to cook? Why don't I take you to the kitchen and make it yourself?
