Chapter 228: Putting Down the "Butcher Knife"
Of course, such a seemingly cruel rule is also a rule generally recognized by the immortal cultivation world. If you go with it, you will be immortal if you go against it. Most people just go with the flow. Indulge your own **, and the real strong are able to restrain themselves, and the basis for improving their own energy in the early stage is the three treasures of essence and energy, as long as the three treasures of essence and spirit are not lost, you can continue to accumulate your own energy. It is conducive to spiritual practice.
As for the female disciples of the Zhongyaochi Holy Land, they also went down the mountain many times, so they didn't pay attention to this matter, after all, how quickly did feelings arise, and because of the perennial cultivation, this group of women had already reached the realm of being immobile in the face of temptation. For example, becoming an immortal is detached. And the real master is a strong man who can't even rise at all. It is said: he is strong by him, the breeze blows the hills, he is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river.
The biggest enemy in life, the one who hurts himself the most, is the ** that grows with him, and this ** consumes the minds of living beings all the time. But all sentient beings are willing to continue to pay for their own **. The root of detachment is to break free from the harm that ** has done to oneself. It is also what Buddhism said: put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground.
And Yao Xiaofan, the holy daughter of Yaochi, watched the Yaochi disciples leave, but did not leave, but just stood quietly, until the disciples left with joy, Yao Xiaofan exhaled lightly, and looked at Fourth Uncle Hu with a relaxed face. "You've lost so much weight this year. ”
Fourth Uncle Hu smiled: "It's old, you haven't changed." ”
Then the two of them didn't speak, but their eyes contained a lot of information, although they didn't say much, but everything was silent.
Instead, Shen Yu asked curiously, "You know each other." ”
Fourth Uncle Hu smiled and nodded. "I know, when I was eight years old, at that time, Yecheng did not have the distinction between the inner city and the outer city. The sun was shining that day, and the years were quiet. I was idle and planned to lie down under the sculpture of Empress Wu to bask in the sun, and suddenly I saw a little girl in white clothes falling from the sky, and the girl was not much older than Ye Xuan. I was basking in the sun. I was also stunned to see this scene. ”
Yao Xiaofan, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, smiled heartily when she heard this. After all, I also remembered a lot of interesting past events. "At that time, the rules were not as strict as they are now, and I had just learned to walk in the sky, and it was the first time I went out of the Yaochi Holy Land to see the outside world, after all, I forgot to bring the invisibility charm. At that time, you could see me, and I was also shocked, thinking that I had violated the rules and precepts, and I was worried for many days, and I didn't have any fun for those three days, and when I went back, I was still worried that others would know and punish me. ”
Fourth Uncle Hu also smiled when he heard this: "I didn't think about it so much at the time, because it was the first time I saw someone who could fly, and it was a cute little girl, so I couldn't help but keep staring, of course, my inner thought at that time was, I also want to be able to fly like you." For the next three days, I decided to stay with you. I just want to learn your Taoism. But as soon as you landed, you opened your eyes wide and asked me in disbelief how I could see you, which was really fun. But I didn't care about it so I wanted you to teach me how to fly. I also spent money to buy you a lot of delicious food. It's a pity that you didn't tell me when you finally left. ”
"It's just the rules of the sect, and I was still young at the time, so I didn't dare to violate the rules of the sect. Didn't I tell you later? Yao Xiaofan, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, said with a smile.
Fourth Uncle Hu smiled and said: "That's how much time I've spent waiting hard, since you left for the first time, I've been waiting for you here every day." At that time, I waited for you for a year, but the second time you came down, it changed, wearing a big red dress, and your face became more ruddy than when you first saw it. But the second time, you still eat and drink for nothing. Then get to the point again and go. But after this time, I also figured out when you would come here on time every year, and the three years of waiting after that made me even more convinced. It's just that every year when I see you, you're a big change. Of course, you haven't changed in a long time. ”
Yao Xiaofan also smiled indifferently when he heard this: "Since the first year I saw it, every year since then, the first person I see is you, it is undeniable that I was greedy as a little girl, and I don't know anything about life under the mountain, with you with me, I have saved a lot of thought." And I see that you also have a very strong purpose for my exercises, but I don't dare to teach you easily. Because of the ban of the sect, and the second is also because... Speaking of this, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi did not say any more.
And Fourth Uncle Hu asked. "Second is because of what?"
Yao Xiaofan shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing." It was just a slip of the tongue. Didn't I teach you everything later? Four or five times down the mountain, as I got older. And every time I go down the mountain, you come to greet me, and I am really moved by your perseverance, so I will teach you all that I will. ”
"Actually, when you came to Yecheng for the third time, I knew the specific time when you went down the mountain, and I pinched it for the next few years, but the only thing I worry about every year is that you forget me after you go up the mountain. Fourth Uncle Hu said with a sigh.
"I haven't forgotten it, because the happiest time of the year is when I go down the mountain, there are not so many rules and precepts, and I don't have so many rules, I can sleep when I want, and I can play as much as I want. And, of course, seeing you every year. It's been more than 100 years. It's just that you're getting older and older, and my body is also aging, if there is no anti-beauty elixir, maybe I'm still a little old lady now. The laws and laws of the world make us grow old. Speaking of which, my body is not old, and my heart is tired. Yao Xiaofan, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, was a little tired between her eyebrows, and although there was a fixed light in her eyes, she was also extremely chaotic.
"Otherwise, you won't go back this time. Uncle Hu said.
Yao Xiaofan shook his head. "It's not that easy, I'm the Holy Maiden of the Yaochi Holy Land, if I don't go back, the precept department in the Holy Land will send out to arrest me back, and it will also affect you, everyone has everyone's life, and forcibly changing it will pay a great price. I will choose the old Yao Chi, and you. Yao Xiaofan sighed, "Maybe it was a mistake from the beginning, I shouldn't have forgotten to paste that invisibility charm." Otherwise, you can marry a wife, have children, and live a normal life. It's not like it's now, it's too bitter. ”
