Chapter 4: Morality
Zhou Fanghe said: "Yes, I am worried about the Jiaojiao." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOriginally, the abbot was compassionate, and said that it was not easy for the snake demon to practice for thousands of years, and it was also a result of his transformation, and he couldn't bear to spoil his practice. Later, I discussed with the abbot, this Thousand Buddha Temple was created by the patriarch, and it would be a pity if it was destroyed. Moreover, if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different. This snake demon is unpredictable, who knows what the consequences will be if he succeeds in transforming it. My generation cultivates, and it should be our responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the way, how can we be afraid of the head and tail. The abbot thought about it again and again, and then he made up his mind that I would preside over the matter of eliminating the demons. ”
"Then what are you waiting for," a rugged man named Fang Hong said with a big grin: "There is a drunkard you leading, everyone will go into the mountain together, and hack that demon snake to death, I don't believe that there are so many people, and I can't clean up an unformed snake demon." ”
Qiu Zhe was a little surprised, and asked Zhang Xun in a low voice, "Isn't it through the peach blossom miasma?"
Zhang Xun said: "The peach blossom miasma will disperse in two days every three years, one is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the other is the Chongyang Festival, so I asked you to come here before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Only then did Qiu Zhe understand.
Zhou Fanghe said: "The top priority is not to enter the mountain, now there are many side doors gathered outside, wanting to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to sneak into the clouds and mist, and take the opportunity to hunt the treasures of heaven and earth." We need to work together to get rid of these thieves before they cause chaos. ”
"These people are really thieves," Zhang Nan of Xiaohanshan is obviously a young man with a strong sense of justice, and when he talks about these thieves outside, his nostrils are full of disdain: "We have only been here for three days, and we have already driven away more than a dozen thieves who came in to watch, I heard that there are still people coming today? ”
"Senior brother, don't be rude. Miss Lu said lightly, Zhang Nan saw her sister talking, and immediately knew that she was speechless, and said embarrassedly: "Abbot, forgive me for being rude." Abbot Huiguang smiled slightly and waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
"It's not been a day or two that these people have coveted Yunwuze," Huihe was still treated, and at this time he had relieved his breath: "In the past, there was Uncle Pujing in charge, and it was quite calm. Uncle Pu Jing didn't come this year, and these people kicked their noses in the face, which was really annoying. ”
Zhang Xun knew that Qiu Zhe didn't understand the joints, and explained to him in a low voice. It turns out that although the Thousand Buddha Temple has been inherited for a long time, it is only a small family in the cultivation world, and the legal system passed down is not very smart, and it can only be maintained by the protection of the Wuxiang Sect.
In the past few years, whenever the peach blossom miasma was about to disperse, the Wuxiang Sect would send Master Pujing of the Prison Temple to preside over and suppress the evils. Master Pu Jing did not come this year, only sent three monks of the second generation of Ming characters: Ming Lantern, Ming Ku and Ming Fa, those side doors and left roads are naturally unwilling to lie dormant, and the Thousand Buddha Temple is also quite complaining.
"Wisdom, don't be presumptuous. Abbot Huiguang is kind and kind-eyed, but he is also very fierce when he trains his junior disciples: "Wuxiang Sect and my Thousand Buddha Temple have the same qi and branches, and they have been cared for many over the years. This year, Master Pu Jing can't be there in person, and we are already very grateful to have a few junior disciples present, how can you not know what to do?"
When Senior Brother said this, Hui Heshang suddenly lowered his head and didn't dare to talk back, but his eyes revealed his thoughts, obviously not very convinced.
Zhou Fanghe was a little embarrassed, he was elected as the main person, so he naturally had the confidence. was gaged in a row, and the momentum of speaking disappeared unconsciously, and I was also a little dissatisfied with the ink of these monks, but it was not easy to show it, and I had to play a round:
"Alright, well, you don't have to argue. Let's talk about it today, the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone has enough strength, and there must be a fierce battle at that time. ”
Everyone dispersed, Zhang Xun first led Qiu Zhe to see the side room arranged for him, and then the Luo brothers brought a roast suckling pig over, and brought a few jars of wine, saying that they wanted to catch up with Qiu Zhe, and they would not return if they were not drunk.
Watching the Luo brothers light a fire on the stove and cut the pork with a knife, Qiu Zhe couldn't help but be a little embarrassed:
"Uncle Zhang, we are in the temple, will it be taboo to eat meat and drink wine like this?"
"It's okay," Zhang Xun said with a smile: "The Thousand Buddha Temple itself is a cultivation sect, of course I know that people like us who refine qi can't get rid of meat." The area where we live is isolated from the Buddhist hall, and it was originally a place to entertain lay people in the temple, and it is not forbidden to drink and meat. ”
Qiu Zhe let go of his worries when he heard this, smelled the aroma of the mutton roasted, moved his index finger for a while, cut a large piece of meat with a knife, sprinkled salt and seasonings on it, and ate it heartily.
Everyone was busy all day, and by this time they were really hungry, and no one spoke for a while, and they were all busy filling their stomachs. After eating a meal, seeing that the sky outside was gradually getting darker, Qiu Zhe looked at the time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Luo Zhenghu had almost eaten, poured a bowl of wine and was savoring it, when he suddenly remembered something and asked:
"What benefits did the Thousand Buddha Temple promise this time, and can call so many people to help?"
"Of course there are benefits, otherwise I will call you over to do something," Zhang Xun said: "Being able to enter the clouds and mist is the biggest benefit." ”
"Wait," Qiu Zhe stuffed a large piece of meat into his mouth, so that he could choke on: "Do you want benefits? Aren't you all for the sake of morality?"
"Xiaoqiu," Luo Zhengbiao sneered: "You have watched too much TV, right? We are cultivators, not martial arts warriors, what kind of morality are we talking about." ”
"Uh," Qiu Zhe struggled to swallow the food in his throat, "It seems that I am still too young. ”
"There are definitely benefits," Zhang Xun said: "Third child, don't make fun of Xiaoqiu, except for us, he almost doesn't interact with people in the cultivation, and he doesn't have anything to think about." But Xiaoqiu, you can't do it all the time behind closed doors. The way of cultivation pays attention to the law of wealth, I won't talk about money, everyone has their own way. But this couple word should not be neglected, usually make more Taoist friends, not only can learn from each other, but also communicate with each other, and at critical times, it can also help. ”
"Based on my personal experience of living for so many years, not to mention the present world, even in ancient times, it is rare to have morality in mind. People are like this, the more they lack something, the more they shout, everyone speaks of righteousness, but in fact, they just want others to preach morality, and when it comes to themselves, their faces change. ”
"The only thing that can really drive people's hearts is fame and fortune. Even if the martial arts are known for their chivalry, although the name is glamorous, what is hidden underneath is countless filth. It has always been said that Confucianism uses literature to violate the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban, do you think it is just talking? Under these words, it is all human life. ”
"This is especially true in our cultivation world, everyone has worked hard all their lives, just to live a few more years, although there is no hope of immortality in the world today, but if you are lucky enough to cultivate, it is not a big problem to live for one or two hundred years. To put it bluntly, everyone wants to be a turtle, and if they can't get out, they won't come out. If there is no reward for such a risky thing as catching demons, and only relying on morality on the lips, do you expect these people who want to be turtles to become heroes for no reason?"
"According to what you say, there is no real morality in the world?" Qiu Zhe said a little sullenly, and he suddenly remembered the matter of the magic mirror.
"There is still something," Zhang Xun said in a tone that saw through the world: "It's just that this kind of person usually dies quickly, and the more they die, the less they die, and they slowly disappear." ”
