Chapter 23: The Human Heart

"About twenty-five years ago, I came out of the Taoist sect and decided to take a trip to Xuanzhou to see different scenery and meet different people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I crossed the vast East China Sea, crossed the dangerous and prosperous swamp of the Eight Regions, crossed the Chidu Mountain, arrived at the Fufeng Country, and stopped in Yuntai City.

The reason why I stopped here was because I met a person, a half-demon. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shujing glanced at Yu Qing and said, "Qing'er, what do you think of demons and half-demons?"

Yu Qing unconsciously remembered Xiang Kun, the qualifications of this half-demon disciple may be average, but his heart is simple and his heart is firm, and he may not be able to achieve some achievements in the future.

Just like his predecessor, his qualifications are also very average, he has been following Li Shujing's cultivation for more than ten years, and he has been wandering in the Dingji Realm, and he can't open the spirit to enter the Dao, and even went crazy to let him take the opportunity to occupy his body.

If it weren't for a series of chances, first Li Shujing used the Lingshan jade liquid to wash the spiritual platform for him to condense his soul, and then he borrowed the hand of his master Chen Taixuan to end the cause and effect of the Golden Elephant Truth, as well as the nameless god, which allowed him to open his spirit and enter the realm of eating qi and refining the law.

It is difficult to open the spirit, and it is difficult to go to the sky.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingdao said: "The cultivation of demons and half-demons is ten times more difficult than that of the human race, and because they grow up in the mountains and follow the rules of the jungle, they often have a biased mind, but if they can be guided well, they may not be able to achieve the Great Dao and see detachment." ”

Li Shujing nodded and said, "It's already very good that you can think of this, but have you ever thought that since the heroes of the human race can establish a city-state and inherit and educate from generation to generation, then there are no heroes in the demon clan, can't you do this?"

Yu Qing had doubts and said: "The demon is unruly, the most difficult to educate, many big demons gather demons to occupy one side and call the king the ancestor, it seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is just another form of the weak and the strong, one day the demon king dies, these demons will be scattered as birds, where is there half a point of inheritance and education." Could it be that there is a great sage of the demon clan in this heaven and earth who has done such meritorious deeds?"

Li Shujing said with a smile: "Where is there an impossible thing in the world, even if it is a demon clan, it can be cultivated, it just requires extremely high wisdom and supernatural powers."

Three thousand miles from the east of Fufeng Country, there is a swamp, called the Eight Domains, there is a country on the swamp, called the Eight Holy Countries, and there are demons and ghosts in the country, and all of them are sensible, knowledgeable, and like the country of ancient saints. ”

Li Shujing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this now, when you get there in the future, you will naturally see it, and then you will say that it is my disciple, maybe there will be some surprises." ”

Yu Qing nodded, but he felt a little sorry for the Golden Elephant Truth, such an elegant demon and gentle demon met the Black Mountain Demon King, and finally ended up like this.

"At that time, I passed through the Qing water, the water was so strong that there was no bridge over the river, and there was only a man in a cloak who was holding a boat to ferry.

When I got closer, I found that it was a half-demon, but he had a handsome face and an extraordinary appearance, and he had the temperament of a down-and-out nobleman.

I asked him how much it would cost to cross the river, and he said he didn't want money, but just asked me to take him to a place where he could meet a demon. ”

Li Shujing smiled and said, "The people in this world are mediocre and disturbing, ordinary people are running around for life, cultivators are also busy pursuing detachment, and how many people are willing to work hard for a lot of money." So this half-demon has been ferrying here for three years, and there are countless people, but none of them are willing to help him. ”

Yu Qingshen thinks that the world is like a piece of paper, everyone draws a small circle in it, this circle is the heaven and earth in their eyes, as for the things outside the circle, they don't know, and they don't care, if they are lucky, two or more circles are entangled, and a wonderful and complex pattern will be derived, and this piece of paper will become unpredictable and wonderful.

"I promised him, he crossed the river with me, I took him to the demon, it was a fair deal, after the deal was completed, he didn't owe me, and I didn't owe him. ”

Li Shujing sighed and said, "Qing'er, do you know, the human heart is the most unpredictable and difficult thing to grasp, some people, you give him some, and he wants more, even if he knows that this will bring serious consequences." ”

Yu Qing didn't know why Li Shujing suddenly said this, so he could only say: "What Master said is a bit of a partial generalization, there are hundreds of millions of living beings in the world, how can you generalize in one sentence, Master vows to live the best of his life, and he must tolerate all this with a big heart, whether it is good or bad, he should have the right to live in heaven and earth." ”

Li Shujing was noncommittal, and continued: "I swear so, naturally I will not be shaken by this, but for those innocent people who died in the catastrophe because of this, I don't know how to face it."

At first, I thought that if I could give insight into the mysteries of all things and the avenue of heaven and earth, I would be able to save myself and others, so I practiced "Miao Yan Qing Xuan Dayan Jun Chapter", and later I found that when you know what will happen, but you can't do anything about it, watching life disappear in front of your eyes, and your bones being crushed into dust in the sun, you feel as cold as your body as if your blood is empty.

So I changed to the Sutra of Enlightenment, but I still haven't found a way to get free.

Walking the world is like a big net, everyone struggles in the net, and can't find a way out. ”

Yu Qing was silent, he didn't know how to say it, too many things had happened in the past few days, one after another, one heavier than the other, and these things were faintly pointing at him, making him not know how to face it.

Li Shujing sensed the depression of his disciple and comforted: "Don't worry, just do it according to your heart, I once accidentally glimpsed a fragment of the future in the heavenly machine, I died in this catastrophe, and you survived it safely." ”

Li Shujing's expression was peaceful, and he didn't seem to be sad about his death, maybe for him, death is also a good destination, because every day he lives, he has to be tortured by the soul, tortured by reality, and can't be freed.

"I took him to meet the demon, a mermaid.

But he lied to me, he saved the mermaid, and he also caused this tragedy. ”

Yu Qing's doubts were even more in his heart, he finally faintly saw the whole of this catastrophe, if he knew the reason for the occurrence, it would be much easier to resolve it.

When Yu Qing was looking forward to it, Li Shujing suddenly stopped talking, and only listened to him: "Everything in the world has its cause and effect, blessings and disasters depend on each other, no one can say clearly, I can't say too clearly about the inside story of this catastrophe, if I say more, there will be many changes in the future, and there will be many twists and turns." ”

After speaking, Li Shujing glanced at Yu Qing with hope and comfort, this is his disciple, very good, presumably after returning to the sect, the master and his old man will like it very much.

"Qing'er, I left you a great inheritance here, you practice hard, Master can't do more for you, don't blame Master.

The road ahead can only be walked by you alone, no matter what difficulties you encounter, be strong and don't give up hope. ”
