Chapter 48: The Distinction Between Spirits and Demons

Lei Jing took the knife, feeling the activity that was even better than the previous two wooden knives, and she finally asked, "Sir, I have a question for you." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Shen Lian put the knife back into the sleeve of his robe, he took off his clogs, put his feet in the clear and moving stream, and let the flowing water wash his feet, as if the Buddha once put his feet in the Ganges River water to wash, this quiet and pleasant posture for any Qi practitioner who is proficient in the cultivation of the divine soul, will feel that it is a great opportunity, if you visualize Shen Lian's posture at this time, you will definitely be able to improve in the spiritual soul.

He motioned for Lei Jing to sit next to him, and the master and apprentice washed their feet together in this quiet and remote place, Lei Jing was a little shy at first, and then sat down generously.

The rocks were slightly cold, but clean, and the wood chips that had been scattered when Shen Lian carved the wooden knife had long since been carried away by the water.

Shen Lian turned his head and said to his female student, "Now you can say what you want to ask." ”

Lei Jing felt the coldness of the water stimulating the soles of her feet, and the pores of her body were affected by the spirit of the water, and the opening and closing room was more powerful, making her feel comfortable and her qi and blood flowing.

She said leisurely: "What is the reason why Mr. carved the wooden knife, is it just fun, the student is more curious that the wooden knife is obviously a dead thing, but carved out of Mr.'s hand, I think it has spirituality, the first two **** picked up the two wooden knives, when I fell asleep, I seemed to hear them breathing, if there is nothing, but they are indeed swallowing the spiritual machine." ”

Shen Lian smiled slightly: "Jing'er, you can feel the breath of the wooden knife, it is really a great progress, in fact, everything in heaven and earth has a breath, and it is not confined to the mouth and nose, you feel that there is nothing wrong." Wooden knives do have spirituality, or even demonic nature, but now they are weak and weak, and there is no difference between spirits and demons. ”

Lei Jing lowered her head and pondered for a while, and then asked: "Mr. said that spirituality and demonism should be a kind of self-consciousness, or soul, but why is there a difference between spirit and demon?"

Shen Lian clapped his hands and said: " As for the distinction between spirits and demons, it is actually difficult to distinguish clearly, and I can't make judgments on my own, but I can tell you a story, once upon a time there were two sheep, each of them had a piece of grass, and then they both liked to eat grass, but a sheep eating grass always had to be fun, and when it ate grass, it did not let go of the grass roots, and soon the grass around it was gone, and it had no choice but to leave early to find the next grass; , it will be replaced by another one, and so on, and that meadow has supported it for a long time. ”

Lei Jing said if she had an understanding: "Mr. is saying that spirituality is to know how to stop in moderation, and demonic nature is to indulge wantonly." ”

Shen Lian stared faintly on the opposite bank, a leaf fell from the branches, flowed into the flowing water, and disappeared for a moment, and the leaf fell off precisely because a worm only ate its leaf base.

He said slowly: "You are right, but not all right, it is the nature of sheep to like to eat grass, at first the sheep wanted to eat grass, and also wanted to eat grass all the time, but it did not restrain its own desires, unscrupulously let go of its belly, so the grass was quickly abandoned, the other one was not only able to restrain its appetite, but also divided the grass into intervals, telling itself when to resolutely eat only one interval of grass." ”

Lei Jing suddenly realized and said: "I understand, Mr. wants to tell me the difference between doing what you want and not doing what you want, and how to control our nature, rather than letting it go." Just like this flowing water, it can flow anywhere, but with the constraints of the river, it will not flood everywhere and can exist for a long time. ”

"It's just that I still have a question. Lei Jing continued.

"I know what you want to ask, you want to say that if that sheep finds a more fertile meadow after leaving, or robs the meadow where other sheep are, it can still eat unscrupulously, in other words, if there is supreme strength, then you don't have to worry so much, you can do whatever you want, just like your uncle Xia Wang, as long as he wants to do it, there is nothing he can't do. Shen Lian said slowly, breaking Lei Jing's heart.

The worldview she has shaped for more than ten years will naturally not change because of a few words from Shen Lian.

Besides, Great Xia can be the sheep that eats unscrupulously, because they are stronger than others, and their own is not enough, so they just need to rob others.

The law of the jungle is the principle of heaven and earth.

Lei Jing nodded, and carefully paid attention to Shen Lian's reaction.

It's just that Shen Lian looked as usual, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction with her, maybe Shen Lian was dissatisfied and didn't show it, but she wouldn't change her mind at this time.

She replied softly, "So Sir thinks that our Xia clan has demonic nature?"

Shen Lian smiled faintly and said: "I didn't say that, you have to take good care of these three wooden knives, and then I will pass on another skill to you." "It is difficult to convince a person to change their cognition, even if Shen Lian can forcibly change the worldview that a person has accepted since childhood through Taoism, but what is the difference between that and Yanxu, and always thinking about making others like himself, how boring the world will be.

Lei Jing was curious: "Sir, is you going to pass on my magic channel technique, but I haven't practiced mana yet." ”

Shen Lian looked at her slightly curled and long eyelashes, her eyes were better than the agility of the stream, and he thought in his heart that this was a woman favored by the creator, and he said: "Although you are a woman, you have the noblest blood of the Xia clan, so your strength is not bad, so I will teach you carving next." ”

Lei Jing felt that carving was more interesting than practicing inner breathing, and she said, "Okay, what did Mr. teach me to carve?"

Shen Lian said lightly: "There are still twenty days to be the full moon, and it is also the day of the sacrificial month of your Xia Kingdom, on that day the Xia King will hold a palace banquet, you try to use those three wooden knives to make a stone carving that looks the same as your uncle's, but don't carve the eyes, I will guide me on the side, until you complete the stone carving to my satisfaction." ”

When Lei Jing heard Shen Lian say, she felt more and more interested, if her uncle saw that he had carved a stone sculpture that looked the same as his, he would definitely be pleasantly surprised on the day of the palace banquet. ”

It's just that she was a little hesitant in her heart, would there be a problem with the stone carving, but since Mr. asked her to carve, it would be difficult to hide it from her if she did it, so let Guan Longzi take a look at it first.

Although this person has always pretended to be profound, Lei Jing knows in her heart that he will not betray her uncle.
