"Dare to ask His Holiness what is the way of heaven and what is humanity?" Zuo Tian, who had a lot of hair, sat on his seat and asked Lu Xihua above.

"You and I are both cultivators, you don't need to call me Venerable, learn the way of practice, the attainer is the first, you still call me sir, I just walked a few steps ahead of you. Lu Xihua looked at Zuo Tianzong and said slowly. "Ever since I had an adventure and stepped into the practice, I have not had a master with me, and everything I have gained is my own understanding, and now I am going to listen to it with you, hoping to touch you with some understanding. ”

Zuo Tianzong hurriedly saluted, "Thank you Mr. Lu for your teachings." ”

"The so-called Heavenly Dao: He is the evolution of rules, the embodiment of power, and the transformation of truth. The rotation of the stars and the moon, the evolution of mountains and rivers, and the alternation of the seasons are all among them. ”

And humanity: He is the continuation of life, the experience of red dust, and the pursuit of morality. Throughout the ages, nations, the generation of surnames, the confrontation between dynasties, and the love and hatred between countless people have been included. The history of time, geography and peoples has given birth to a variety of people and species of people with different cultures and ideas, and the exchange and collision between them is humanitarian. ”

Zuo Tianzong said bitterly, "Mr. Lu, is it also the way of heaven for monsters to eat people?"

Lu Xihua said, "The way of heaven is often ruthless, so the transformation of the sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas is not transformed by human will. Humanity often has affection, so there will be life and death, reincarnation, and feelings. Therefore, the heavens and the earth are big, and all things live in them, so that the world can be vivid, lively, wonderful, and moving. ”

Zuo Tianzong frowned, "Mr. Lu, listening to your words, it seems that this heaven and earth also seem to have life?"

Lu Xihua nodded, "Anything, there is life and death, and heaven and earth are no exception. People are not necessarily the only wise people in this world, and goblins and spirits live in it. People have basic survival needs, and they also have them, and it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, only big fists have the right to speak. Everyone is a guest between this heaven and earth, and when this heaven and earth are destroyed, all the living beings in it will naturally be destroyed. We seek the Tao and practice in order to find a way, for the sake of ourselves, for the race, to find a way to escape from the cage of heaven and earth. After speaking, he paused slightly, "I just don't know if I will jump into another huge cage at that time." ”

Zuo Tianzong asked again, "Sir, what is the Tao?"

Lu Xihua laughed, "Thousands of saints and sages are in front of them, all pursuing this question. I'm just a little traveler walking on this road, and I must have died on the side of the road that day, and if you ask me what kind of world the way is, don't you ask Yu Blind?" After a slight pause, he continued, "According to my shallow understanding, the so-called Tao is just a manifestation of will. ”

Zuo Tianzong asked suspiciously, "Will?" doesn't that mean that as long as you cultivate strong enough, you can incarnate and Dao?"

Lu Xihua also said with confusion, "Presumably at that time, I was already in the realm of a saint who spoke the law, right? Between the world and the earth, if the white horse is too much, it is all of a sudden. You want to become a Taoist, to become a Taoist, to be immortal, but at that time, could you still be regarded as a human being? You are just a concrete manifestation of your will. ”

Seeing Zuo Tianzong bow his head and remain silent, Lu Xihua smiled, "My understanding is just a blind man touching an elephant and a leopard in a tube, it's all speculation." You don't have to take it personally. ”

Zuo Tianzong was silent for a long time, and he got a preliminary answer from Lu Xihua, but this answer was so vague and desperate, and he suddenly sat up and bowed down, "Sir, please accept Tianzong as a disciple, Tianzong wants to practice with you." ”

Lu Xihua sighed, Zuo Tianzong listened to it, and asked, "But what is the difficulty of Mr.?

Lu Xihua said, "Tianzhong, do you know why the world is so chaotic?"

After Fu Tianqiu returned to Beijing that day, he met the Son of Heaven, and returned to the court because he exposed Pudu's meritorious service. In the next twenty years, the imperial court gradually recovered some vitality, but it is a pity that the foundation of the previous dynasty has been harmed, and Fu Tianqiu has offended many people with all his might, and then the Son of Heaven and Fu Tianqiu have died one after another, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the villains in the court have emerged in endlessly, and the world has fallen into darkness again.

Zuo Tianzong was the deputy commander of the imperial army in front of the Emperor's Palace, and the new emperor had a big blood change, so he naturally stood aside. Fortunately, Zuo Tianzong does not participate in political battles on weekdays, so he has achieved goodness. When I returned home, I was disheartened, and then I remembered the mysterious Mr. Lu, and I couldn't help but arouse my blood again for the days of killing ghosts and slaughtering demons, and hurriedly found the state city where I met Mr. Lu, and then I found Lu Xihua.

Twenty years ago, Lu Xihua's words, Zuo Tianzong still vaguely remembered, and said uncertainly, "When I heard Mr. 's words, it was a big demon from the underworld, which caused chaos in the world. ”

Lu Xihua said, "Yes, there is a city of vain death in hell, and people in the world will gather to live in the city of vain death after their death, until the end of their predestined lifespan, and then reincarnate according to their good and evil during their lifetime, or reward or punishment. ”

"What is a vain death? It is not the end of life, but a person who dies due to suicide, disaster, war, accident, murder, murder, etc., and even unjustly dies is called a vain death. I suspect that the great demon has occupied the city of vain death, and has used all the ghosts in the city for his own use, taking advantage of its anger, causing chaos in the world, causing the ghosts living in the city to increase and strengthen himself. ”

Zuo Tianzong understood a little when he heard this, "What Mr. means is that we want to kill that big demon, and the anger in the world will be reduced, and order will naturally be restored." ”

Lu Xihua nodded, "That's pretty much it." ”

Zuo Tianzong took out the pill in his hand, "So Mr. wants us to take this pill and turn into a ghost body before we can enter the underworld to act?"

Lu Xihua said, "Yes and no. As long as the old demon of Montenegro breaks through the boundary between the underworld and the human world, I will be able to appear in the underworld. I want you to turn into ghosts because I want the underworld to be managed by you, and you can establish an order in the underworld like the human court, and everything will naturally be decided. I can also use this merit to break through the void and get out of this world, but you will stay in the underworld to rule one side. You say that I will go through the air, and you and I don't know when we will see you, how can I take you as an apprentice?"

Zuo Tianzong shook his head and said, "Mr.'s grace, Tianzong sacrificed his life and couldn't repay it, and he should obey it when he entered the underworld to kill demons and demons, and he just hoped to be able to enter Mr.'s door, and he had no regrets in this life." ”

Lu Xihua thought for a while and sighed, "Since you insist on doing so, I can only accept you as a registered disciple, and I am also groping my way forward." If one day, you and I meet again on the path of cultivation, and you are still willing to worship me as a teacher, I will definitely accept you as a disciple. After speaking, with a flick of his fingers, a circle of flames fell on Zuo Tianzong's right wrist, and a thin cyan flame pattern turned into a bracelet and embedded in Zuo Tianzong's skin.

"This is my sign, and from now on in the heavens and all the worlds, one day, when you and I meet again, we will recognize each other. After Lu Xihua said this, a light wheel appeared above his head, and at this moment, a bracelet-shaped circle of light suddenly appeared on Zuo Tianzhong's right wrist, and the cyan flame was suspended in the air, shining, echoing with the light wheel behind Lu Xihua's head, one bright and one dark, like breathing.

Zuo Tian kowtowed to Lu Xihua, "The master is above, please accept the disciple Zuo Tian's worship." ”

Lu Xihua nodded, and after Zuo Tianzong finished saluting, he helped him up, "My surname is Lu, my name is Xihua, and I have been practicing for one hundred and sixteen years so far. If you are not in this realm, you have to find a way to get out of the realm. This time in this world, the re-establishment of the order of the underworld is also a great grace. So don't worry, you can cultivate ghosts and gods by turning into ghosts, and it is also the Dharma that can prove the path of the Bodhisattva. It's just that you and I are too deeply entangled with Buddhism cause and effect, and I don't know what the path will be like in the future. ”

Zuo Tianzong replied, "The disciple wholeheartedly follows the master, and only hopes that one day he can truly enter the door wall of the master and listen to the teachings. ”

Lu Xihua smiled, "It's good if you have this heart." Come on, come on, and see a gift for you from the teacher. After speaking, he spread his palm, and a small flag appeared in his hand.
