Taoism deals with disciples who have violated the rules and precepts, the same as Confucianism, Buddhism and other sects, the most used is beating, and the most common torture instrument used is the precept ruler. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ruler has one of the "shame", the word "ring ruler", in the shape of the ruler, with shame as the meaning, it can be said that the meaning is profound, and the manufacture of the ring ruler also has very strict shape requirements, "Daozang Emperor to the Taoist Taiqing Jade Book" has the "Qing Regulation Ruler Style": "Use wood to make one inch and four minutes wide, four points thick, and three feet long." There is an inscription on the precept ruler that says: "The law is not good, the etiquette is not even, the virtue is not cultivated, and the person is not ashamed." ”

Don't look at the size of the ring ruler is not big, there is no momentum of the stick used in the "cane blame" of Buddhism, but the actual power is terrifying, the various Taoist sects in the cultivation world in order to enhance the power of punishment, but engraved a lot of formations on the ring ruler to enhance the power.

Smaller sects are to use some conventional formations to enhance the materials of the ring ruler, or to engrave some more powerful formations on the ring ruler, but due to the scale of the sect, this enhancement is also limited, after all, whether the disciples under the too powerful ring ruler can drive the movement is one thing, and whether those tortured disciples can withstand it is another matter.

After all, the original intention of using a ring ruler to draw is to teach a lesson, so that the disciple who violates the precept can remember it for a long time and take it as a precept, rather than beating people to death with a precept ruler, and the strength of the disciple and the strength of the sect are similar, but no matter how small the sect is, there will be several support scenes in the Ning Dan period, and even if these people break the precepts, they will not receive too much punishment from within the sect, and the powerful ring ruler will not be useful at all.

The Damen Sect is different, the strength and heritage of any Damen Sect are quite strong, not to mention the monks of the Ning Dan Period, that is, the elders of the Yuan Infant Period, and even the real person in charge of the sect who violate the precepts will be punished in the same way, and the precept ruler, which symbolizes the precepts, can be regarded as a kind of hoodoo in a sense, and it should not be cast too much, so the requirements for the precept ruler are relatively high.

In order to cast a suitable ring ruler, each sect can be said to be painstaking, not only to take into account the ability of the tortured disciples, but also to play the role of a warning, so the ring rulers of each sect can be said to have their own characteristics and ingenuity.

For example, the ring ruler of the Tianfu Sect is to engrave a "Divine Eye Inventory Talisman" and a "Wutu Thousand Mountains Talisman" on the jujube wood, the former can accurately measure the strength of the disciple who has committed the precepts, and the latter will increase the strength of the disciples who have committed the precepts.

Another example is the Heavenly Array Gate, they make full use of the power of the formation, the place where the disciples are punished in the torture hall is placed in the formation, and the ring ruler is suspended in the formation, the ring ruler is not only strong but also with the power of thunder, according to the strength of the tortured disciple, the punishment disciple of the torture hall will adjust the power of the formation.

All of this, too many to mention, each sect will put its best ability on the ring ruler, but like Haotian Sect and Xuantian Guan, which have a good relationship with the fairy world, there are other ways to enhance the power of the ring ruler, such as summoning the blessings of the gods of the thunder department, on the one hand, to show their good relationship with the fairy world, to deter the forces of others, but also to cheer up the disciples, on the other hand, to deter those who are strong.

For example, now Xuantianguan is about to move this ring ruler, the body is only a 300-year-old peach tree, but the cloud seal engraved on it is quite powerful, it is said that the founder of Xuantianguan summoned the eighteen generals of the thunder department to bless, the Xuantianguan purple gas on the day of the opening of the altar covered the sky, the thunderclouds rolled, and the demons in all directions bowed their heads.

It is precisely because this ring ruler is too powerful, from the patriarch below, after three generations, no one can drive this ring ruler with his own hands, even the indisputable Taoist who has been degraded to the lower realm, because he is the "criminal official" of the fairy world, and the punishment is still remembered in the heavenly court, so if you want to drive this ring ruler, you must open the altar and ask for the law, and call the soldiers of the thunder department to drive it freely.

It is precisely because of this that the punishment of Xuantianguan is the most just and the most impersonal in the entire cultivation realm, because all the punishments have to be passed under the nose of the person who was invited down by the Ministry of Thunder to be responsible for the execution.

Because this is the first time in recent years that Xuantianguan has punished the disciples of other sects, all the entire torture hall is on full alert, and the law enforcement elder personally opened the altar to supervise the punishment, Lin Haoyu looked the law enforcement elder up and down, perhaps in order to maintain his majesty, the law enforcement elder did not retain a young face like his two senior brothers, the three long hairs under the chin were full of wind, and the electric light flickered between the opening and closing of his eyes, which was compelling.

But before he could pick up the incense to renew the incense burner in front of Emperor Zhenwu, a crane roared from the west, and a slightly vicissitudes of life voice came: "Old Seven, suspend the execution." ”

The law enforcement elder paused with his hand holding the incense, and the hidden Taoist snorted coldly, turned his head to look at the place where the crane chirped from, and said in a cold voice: "Second brother, I am still on duty today. ”

Lin Haoyu lowered his head slowly, judging from the reaction of the Indisputable Daoist, the Hidden Daoist must be the person closest to him in the Xuantian Temple, and he is also the person who is the pillar of his own legal lineage, but whether it is the original Fifth Elder Qian Lihang, or the second elder who has just appeared, it seems that they have not bought the account of the Hidden Daoist, even if the Hidden Daoist is now the Elder on Rotation, acting on behalf of the Undisputed Daoist.

This also reflects from the side that the entire Xuantian Temple does not seem to be monolithic, and his own control over the Xuantian Temple is not high, except for occupying the name of righteousness, it can be said that there is no advantage, after all, whether it is the fifth elder or the second elder, they have already put their attitudes on the surface, and in front of many other sects.

Although this matter is not big, it can also be regarded as "expressing their opinions", but for people like Lin Haoyu who have already come into contact with that level, the meaning of the representation is even more profound.

The second elder flew to the front of the crane and fell, walked in front of the Hidden Daoist, and smiled bitterly: "Isn't this decision too hasty? After all, this is the first time in hundreds of years that our Xuantian Temple has implemented the precepts of the entire Righteous Path Alliance......

The Hidden Daoist shook his head, pointed to Wei Duhai, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "What did this disciple of the Qingdan Sect say last night, don't say that you don't know, the entire Divine Chef Sect was said to be useless, not to mention the relationship between my Xuantian Temple and the Divine Chef Sect, if this temperament is not punished, it will not be a villain in the entire cultivation realm in the future?!"

The second elder's face changed, of course he knew what Wei Duhai had scolded, and he came here to stop it only because he stood up to the truth of "need to be cautious externally", and carried a blow to the prestige of the Hidden Daoist, but now the Hidden Daoist has taken the last layer of fig leaf next, and directly said that the Divine Chef Sect has been humiliated, with the inextricable connection between the Divine Chef Sect and his own family, it is rumored that the head of the Divine Chef Sect also seems to have the inheritance of his own ancestor, what else can he say?

Compared with Buddhism, Taoism's concept of good and evil, or attitudes toward people and things, can be said to be very different, if this kind of thing is placed in Buddhism, eighty percent of those old Zen masters will say, "In a few years, you will look at him again", but what does Taoism pay attention to? "Do nothing, do nothing", that is, do not act recklessly.

What is the meaning of "reckless behavior"? That is, when he is scolded and beaten, his strength is not as strong as others; what does it mean not to act recklessly? That is, after being scolded and beaten, his strength is not enough to endure it when his grandson endures it, and his strength is enough to jump up and whip him directly with big ears and melon seeds!

If he dares to say "scolding the young man for not being sensible", the first is to corrupt the Taoist style, and the second is to give people a feeling that the Xuantian view is a good person and a good bully, he bets that as long as this kind of words come out and reach the ears of the indisputable Taoist, this head who usually nests in the five domains of the mortal world and does not ask about the trivial matters of the sect will definitely tear the void back here in an instant, and a thunderstorm will split himself into pieces- Respect the heavens and the ancestors, even the ancestors don't want face, what kind of way do you cultivate?

"I heard that there are people here who bully my Divine Chef Sect's kung fu is not good, so I will see what the sacredness is. A crisp voice came, and everyone present turned their heads to look, and saw a Kun Dao with big sleeves facing the wind, rushing here with light skills, Kun Dao is not tall, but it can be regarded as exquisite, but the anger on it makes people only feel cold.

A monk in the Ning Dan stage looked at the person, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said four words: "Awaken the gods and real people." ”

"Senior brother!" Su Miaoyun shouted first, and pounced on the body, obviously much taller than the other party, but at this moment, there was a feeling of milk swallow throwing into the forest, but there was no sense of abruptness.

Wei Duhai, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale in an instant, and the face of Mr. Xue Qing, who was standing on the side, also changed, the awakening god is a real person who is famous for protecting his shortcomings, his own apprentice insulted the god kitchen faction like this, and the other party came at this time, I am afraid that this matter is not so easy to be good.

The awakening god real person rubbed Su Miaoyun's head and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, senior brother is here, see who dares to bully you." ”

After that, he raised his head, glanced at the hidden Taoist, and said in a cold voice: "Youyin, when I asked my junior brother to come here to place an order, you personally assured me that she would not be bullied, and you will have to give me an explanation for this matter later." ”

After that, he didn't look at the somewhat embarrassed face of the hidden Taoist, turned his head to Mr. Xue Qing and sneered and said, "I heard that Brother Dao's disciples have some opinions about our Divine Kitchen Sect, I wonder if Senior Brother is interested in giving some teaching?" )
