Chapter 13: On Killing
In the front yard of the grass house, Chuan Han slowly raised his head, and thousands of rain lines were like cold tears, surging down, and his eyes were already blurred. The scene of the murder was repeated in his mind over and over again, and although the rain had washed away the blood stains on his body, it could not shake the fear and disgust in his soul in the slightest.
He had thought countless times about how the enemy Su Yunxiang would cut his hatred, peel off his skin and cramp, eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, but he had never thought that he would really kill someone, and he was so frightened and uneasy.
Mo Dao appeared in front of him quietly, and said with a slight apology: "Han'er, for the sake of the teacher, I just thought that I still had nothing to gain, and I wasted all this time looking for medicine, so I was so annoyed. Such a fierce and shameless person is killed when he is killed, which is not enough. ”
"But I didn't think about killing him, I, I just wanted to teach him a lesson, but, but then I chased and fought, just like it wasn't me, I couldn't control it, I only felt happy when I tore him to pieces......" Chuan Han looked at his slightly young palms blankly, and couldn't help trembling, obviously unable to look back at the scene when he killed people.
Mo Dao said: "The most important thing in the rivers and lakes is 'righteousness', and the most taboo is 'lust', and letting him kill people and set fires is heinous, and it is not as hateful as raping women." Chivalrous style, eliminate evil and punish adultery, should take this prostitution as the first evil. Even if you don't kill him, sooner or later you will die at my hands. ”
"But, I'm so scared, I don't want to kill people......" Chuan Han said in a hoarse voice.
Mo Dao picked up the umbrella that fell on the ground, stepped forward to block the top of Chuan Han's head, and sighed: "I'm afraid this can't help you." Reborn by killing the dragon, he is already bloodthirsty and demonic. Although you were fortunate to kill the dragon's extreme yin qi before it invaded the body and attacked the heart, you were bombarded by the extreme yang and heavenly thunder, and for a while the yang was better than the yin, and you suppressed it outside the six veins, temporarily preserving your sanity. But if the emotions are in a big mood and the grief and indignation are extreme, the yang energy around the body is stagnant, and it is still inevitable that the sex is crazy like a demon, and the heart is lost, and only the pleasure of killing is taken. ”
Even if there is no storm in front of him, Mo Dao's words are enough to teach people to feel cold all over their bodies, and you must know the importance of the word "killing", just like the enemy family when he was a child caused his family to be ruined. This wind and rain, horror, and both, made Bailichuan shiver and tremble, and the fear in his heart was really extraordinary.
His face was as dead as ashes, and it took a long time before he asked in a sincere and terrified manner, "Master, what should I do? I don't want to be that murderer......
Mo Dao was silent for a while, and then said: "Killing people may not be demons, and being a demon may not be a thirst for killing, it is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, whether it is a person or a demon, what does it matter?
When he was young and vigorous, he also had perverse and did something against his conscience, but he was quite upright in his temperament, and he only practiced martial arts and cultivation to defend the justice of heaven, and walked the rivers and lakes with the intention of eliminating harm for the people. If there is nothing to be done, Moti will accept you as an apprentice, and the teacher will already get rid of you, so as not to harm sentient beings. ”
He glanced at Chuan Han quite meaningfully, and then said: "Fan Lao Fan Zhongyan, a wise man in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote such a sentence: Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. This is also the requirement of Taoist self-cultivation, the requirement of wanting to reach the realm of thought, no matter what ups and downs of the outside world or self, sorrows and joys, we must maintain an open-minded and indifferent mentality, so we can stick to the seven emotions and six desires, and not be swayed by them. Everything you do is controlled by your heart. With this word as a believe, you will always be able to keep your heart, and the devil will naturally reject it. ”
This principle is simple and clear, and everyone in the world knows it. But with a few words, it is easy to say that it is difficult. Otherwise, the world would not be like many wicked people and gangsters, these people are all indulgent people, selfish, and many, and those who do according to those few words will be like the morning star, and they will become saints and sages early.
"Stick to the seven emotions and six desires, and don't control them, how many people in the world have done it?" Chuan Han groaned, as if he really couldn't figure it out, so he asked Mo Dao.
"Yes, there are very few who can do it, but you are also extraordinary and so on, and if you want to exorcise demons, you have to do it. Mo Dao glanced at Chuan Han, who was dazed and at a loss, and said: "You don't need to be so unconfident, self-cultivation has its own way, and there is a way to follow the sky." In the past six months, I have unremittingly suppressed the dead qi on your body with elixir, so that the aura of killing dragons has also faded, which shows that although I am fighting indiscriminately, I have prescribed the right medicine, and it is clear that it has a spiritual effect.
You killed that big family, but you didn't drink blood and thirst, that's the best basis. If you get better like this, it won't be long before your rotting flesh will be cured. At that time, I will pass on your method of 'guarding the heart' to help you cultivate internally, so that your heart can be upright, and you will naturally be able to learn martial arts like ordinary people, kill the evil that should be killed, and protect the goodness that should be protected. ”
"Kill the evil that should be killed, and protect the goodness that should be protected?" Chuan Han shook violently, like a lightning strike--this is not exactly what he wants: evil is as good as Su Yunxiang and other beasts, and goodness is like a family member who keeps to himself. If there were chivalrous people in the past, they would have been able to get rid of them, and their families would not have fallen into such a fate. Looking at that big family doing evil, he cut off his life today, maybe he saved the people who were killed by him in the future!
Chuan Han suddenly became arrogant, his color changed slightly, as if he was full of hope, and said, "Can I really practice martial arts?"
"Why not? I can accept you as an apprentice, and I want you to be successful in martial arts and do chivalrous deeds. Don't brush me off with some painstaking work. Mo Dao said, picked up Chuan Han, and gradually walked into the grassland.
After the master and apprentice returned to the house, they each changed into dry clothes and sat opposite each other. While chewing the dried dried meat, he had a serious conversation, and he treated each other frankly as he had never been, no longer sneering and joking.
Chuan Han looked forward to the future, fighting the sword and the rivers and lakes, eliminating evil and punishing adultery, and his mind unconsciously eased up a lot, because of the fear of killing people, the confusion of his mind, and a few words to Mo Dao's righteous and dignified words, saying things like the size of sesame seeds, as if this person's life was just a small storm caused by a child's small fight.
However, this incident deeply affected what Bailichuan did in the future. His definition of life and chivalrous behavior are also very different from the previous clouds and mud because of this incident, which is a later story, and will not be shown here.
Seeing that Chuan Han's mood calmed down, Mo Dao smiled and said, "Slaughtering a villain is really not a big deal." But people in the rivers and lakes, the most taboo is to get into trouble with the right and wrong of the official, which has to be entangled, stirred up like you kid, and teach people headaches like sores. Fortunately, now that things have settled, the elixir has been successful, we have to evacuate early tomorrow morning, don't wait for the catch to come, it is indispensable to spend money to eliminate the disaster. ”
Chuan Han's expression darkened, and he muttered, "I don't know if Li Ying's family will be implicated and retaliate because of this?"
Mo Dao smiled mysteriously and said, "It's rare for you kid to have this intention, and you know that others will be implicated." Don't worry, this little thing is within the teacher's self-confidence. As soon as he finished speaking, he gave some instructions, Ren Chuanhan packed up his belongings, took his own clothes and hats and hung them on his body, and before Chuanhan could restrain his surprise, he had already drifted away.
