Chapter 216: Virtue is not virtuous
"Master, you're awake!" Zhao Bin looked back in surprise, looked at An Yi and smiled.
An Yi nodded, glanced up at the sky, and asked casually, "How long has it been since I settled down now?"
"Not long, just a quarter of an hour...... Belch...... Master, you are sure that you are enlightening just now?Why is it so fast?" Zhao Bin's expression was very puzzled, and he even wondered if he had read it wrong before.
An Yi shook his head slowly, just about to explain that this thing of enlightenment has no time, and it has been for ten thousand years in an instant, but he suddenly noticed that Tang Yuanwai had already gone ashore, and the little fox didn't know where to run, so he raised his eyebrows and said: "I'll talk about this later, you first tell me what's going on now? Where did the little fox go? Also, who did you just say you wanted to teach a lesson?"
Zhao Bin didn't care either, briefly introduced the previous situation, and then said: "The surname Tang is too annoying, whether he realizes the Buddha or not, it is not right to throw so many treasures into the river, if it is really like what you said before, Master, wouldn't it harm tens of thousands of lives?"
"So, you're going to be chivalrous?" said An Yi's tone a little strangely.
Zhao Bin said with a bitter face: "Master, don't use this tone to speak, listen to the panic!" An Yi smiled: "Don't make this useless, just say if you plan to do chivalrous righteousness!"
"Yes, of course. Zhao Bin saw that An Yi's tone returned to normal, and said with a sigh of relief: "Didn't you say that this Tang Yuan doesn't have mana yet, and if you don't teach him a lesson at this time, you won't have a chance in the future." ”
The corners of An Yi's mouth twitched, Zhao Bin is going to learn the rhythm of his skills! Thinking like this, he raised his chin in the direction of Tang Yuanwai. He said to Zhao Bin: "What's the use of just teaching a lesson? Although this Tang member is a pseudo-Buddha, as long as he is given ten or eight years, then crushing you to death is the same as playing, and you are not afraid of his revenge?"
Zhao Bin asked suspiciously, "Then Master, what do you say?"
"What should I do? Of course, we will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots! Before he has grown up yet, we will kill him directly. This also saves him from revenge later. An Yi's voice was faint, but Zhao Bin felt a chill invade his heart when he heard it, and said, "This ...... Not good...... He sinned not unto death......"
"Tens of thousands of human lives, this is also called sin does not cause death?"
"But isn't this all just a hypothesis?"
An Yi sneered: "Since you want to teach him a lesson for a hypothesis, why can't you kill him?"
"This ...... That ......" Zhao Bin was speechless for a moment, and his face changed several times one after another. In the end, he said to An Yi with a bitter face: "Master, I was wrong, I will never dare to ...... again"
"What's wrong with you?"
"You shouldn't just rely on a false suspicion to start a resentful thought and almost cause a catastrophe......
"Fart!" An Yi didn't wait for Zhao Bin to finish speaking, then interrupted: "You are not a monk. What a wrath!"
"Then why did you just say that tone, it's weird and scary. Zhao Bin's expression was very aggrieved.
An Yi glared at him with hatred, shook his head and said: "What do you know, I just want to remind you, don't do anything to put yourself on the moral high ground of righteousness and awe-inspiring, no one is necessarily nobler than anyone......" After a pause, he continued: "As you said before, 'you should not be angry with just one suspicion'. This shows that you wanted to teach Tang Yuanwai before, but you were angry yourself, and this time you want to teach him a lesson. It's not like you keep saying anything, for the sake of the people of Li who may die because of him. ”
Zhao Bin's eyes were blushing when he heard this, and his face was full of embarrassment. If you think about it, it seems that you really are like this.
An Yi smiled when he saw this, and said with relief: "You don't have to be ashamed of yourself, in fact, the people in this world are basically for themselves, especially those of us who cultivate the Tao, and there is only the Tao besides ourselves." There is nothing but the Word. The reason why I tell you this is to make you recognize yourself. And not to live with a hypocritical mask!"
"Yes, Master. Zhao Bin bowed down and was taught. But he thought about it, but it was wrong: if they all say this according to comfort, since people do everything for themselves, what merit is there......
But don't all immortals and Buddhas need merit!!
If you do everything for yourself, not for the people of the world, where does this merit come from?
Without merit, how can you become an immortal and a Buddha?
Or is it ......
Zhao Bin suddenly thought of a possibility, looked at An Yi and asked, "Master, do you mean to say that this Immortal Buddha has done something wrong in doing good deeds and seeking merit?" But as soon as he finished speaking, he first realized that something was wrong, shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be like this, after all, they are not fools, if it really has no effect at all, how can they still insist on doing good deeds to earn merit?" After speaking, he looked at An Yi with a puzzled expression.
An Yi smiled and said: "Your suspicions are not unreasonable, but they are fundamentally wrong, that merit is a thing, Yu Immortal Buddha is indeed useful, but Yu Dao is useless......
At this moment, there were suddenly several frightened shouts from the big boat in the heart of the river, and the two of them looked around and knew that it was the little fox making trouble inside, so they simply stopped paying attention, turned around, and continued comfortably: " In fact, merit is God's reward for kind-hearted people, but merit is actually no different from karma, doing things that are beneficial to the people of the world will increase merit, and doing things that are harmful to the people of the world will reduce merit, and whether you have a heart or no intention, this merit will fall on you, which is equivalent to the way of heaven giving you a task, you take it, and complete it, then the merit is equivalent to the reward of the task given to you by the way of heaven......"
"So is this just a deal?" Zhao Bin's head was full of black lines when he listened, especially after An Yi nodded, even his brain was black.
Do you want to be so simple and rude? How can everything be related to trading? Could it be that you were a businessman before you cultivated?
Even a businessman can't measure everything by trade!
However, although Zhao Bin complained, he also understood what An Yi said, but even if he felt reasonable, he still had doubts in his heart: "You said that this merit is useful to the Immortal Buddha, but it is useless to the Great Dao, what does this mean, aren't the Immortal Buddhas all cultivating the Tao?"
"Immortals cultivate the way of heaven, and the Buddha cultivates the way of the Buddha, but whether it is the way of heaven, the earth, the way of Buddha, the way of demons, or the way of humanity, they are actually just branches of the avenue......" An Yi was not stingy at this time. explained his comprehension of the Great Dao to Zhao Bin in detail, in fact, this is also because the reason why he was able to comprehend the Great Dao also benefited from the previous analysis of Buddhism, and if there was no Zhao Bin, he would not be able to analyze that paragraph. Now waking up Zhao Bin is just to finish the transaction, as for whether Zhao Bin can comprehend it, it still depends on his own fate.
Just when An Yi was explaining, the little fox on the boat over there was having fun, relying on his own mana. The three mortals left on the ship were playing with crying dad and calling mother.
The shouts reached far away to the shore, causing a commotion in the crowd.
Tang Yuanwai's face was not very good-looking, and he looked at the big ship in the center of the river, and was silent. The middle-aged man in official uniform next to him saw this and asked his subordinates in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
"Back to Lord Chen's words, I don't know about this little one!" said the official on the side with an innocent face.
"I don't know, don't go check it out quickly!" Lord Chen glared and said, "Now organize a few people immediately." Find a boat and have a look!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the small ones will go, and the small ones will go, and they will go ......"
Lord Chen nodded with satisfaction, and when his subordinates took the order to leave, he turned his head and said to Tang Yuanwai on the side: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to check!"
"Thank you, Lord Chen. Tang Yuanwai folded his hands, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and he couldn't see his joy or anger. Lord Chen didn't care at all. nodded and smiled with a spring breeze, as if he had done something amazing.
This expression made the others wonder when they saw it. I don't know what this official is doing with a monk who is not a monk.
An Yi happened to finish the distinction between the Great Dao and the Immortal Buddha at this time, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and keep silent.
And Zhao Bin was still immersed in what he said, and he didn't pay attention for a while. After being silent for a long time, Zhao Bin raised his head in a daze and said confusedly, "Master." What did you just say?"
“......”
"What is the heaven, the earth, the humane, the waterway?"
“......”
"Doesn't the monks all talk about walking along with the heavens? Isn't the heavens the way of heaven? Where did the avenue come from?"
“...... One is passed on to three friends, and the two teachings are intercepted and explained. How can there be only Shun...... Uh......" An Yi said here and suddenly fell silent, suddenly realized. It seems that the sect only exists in the world of gods, and it is really rarely mentioned in other ancient novels.
After a pause, it was easier to put it another way, and he smiled and said: "Let's not talk about obedience and disobedience, only talk about merit, I think you also know the phrase 'virtue is not virtuous, virtue is not virtuous', right?"
Zhao Bin nodded and said: "I know, this sentence is on the thirty-eighth chapter of the Tao Te Ching, the original text is 'Virtue is not virtue, it is to be virtuous, and virtue is not to lose virtue, it is to have no virtue'." ”
"Do you know what that means?"
"Uh...... It should be said that people with 'upper virtue' do not express xiàn as external virtue, but in fact they have 'virtue', and people with 'lower virtue' deliberately express xiàn as external and undetachable 'virtue', so they are actually not virtuous?" Zhao Bin's tone was a little uncertain.
An Yi nodded after listening, and then shook his head and said: "What you understand is only the superficial meaning of this sentence, but this sentence is put forward separately, and it must be combined with the following, 'Virtue does nothing and does nothing, and virtue does nothing and thinks', and 'Virtue is followed by virtue, virtue is followed by benevolence, benevolence is followed by righteousness, righteousness is followed by etiquette', and 'The husband is courteous, the faithful is thin, and the chaos is chaotic', etc., in order to truly understand this sentence. ”
"'If you are not virtuous, you are virtuous, and if you are not virtuous, you are not virtuous, but you are not virtuous. Virtue does nothing and does nothing, and virtue does nothing and thinks nothing. This is to say that the virtuous people conform to the nature and have no intention to act, and the people who are virtuous are the ones who have the intention to act, and the unintentional party is 'virtue', and the heart is actually 'benevolence', so 'the loss of the way and then the virtue, the loss of virtue and then the benevolence, the loss of benevolence and then the righteousness, the loss of righteousness and then the courtesy.' ''The husband is the one who is faithful, and the one who is faithful is thin, and the one who is chaotic' also. ”
"The world has lost the virtue that comes after the Tao, and only after the loss of virtue does it need to be benevolent, after it loses benevolence, it needs to be righteous, and only after it loses righteousness does it need to be polite. And the rite is the product of a lack of faithfulness and the beginning of trouble. Therefore, the real virtuous people do not have the so-called 'filial piety, piety, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, faithfulness, chastity, honesty, courtesy' and so on, just like Zhuangzi said, 'the saints do not die, the thieves do not stop', the root of the chaos in the world does not lie in those robbers who rob the house, but in the saints who order 'benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, and faithfulness'. ”
"There is yin and yang in the world, there is benevolence and unkindness, and there is courtesy and incivility, if the world is natural and inactive, all are quiet and silent, there is no need for 'benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, faithfulness' These constraints, the world can still be governed, just like in ancient times, there was no Confucius and Mencius in the world, but there were many fewer people who committed crimes than now, which is the reason why the world keeps the Tao and does nothing. ”
"Therefore, people who really have 'virtue' do not need to have 'virtue', and they naturally do nothing, which is a great virtue ......"
Zhao Bin nodded knowingly after hearing this, and said, "So we shouldn't do anything?" After thinking about it, he said: "Just like now, what is the love of the Tang Yuan, it has nothing to do with us, we don't do anything, this is right?"
"Of course not!" An Yi glanced at a hidden figure in the crowd with a casual look, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he said with a smile: We are people with the Tao, so naturally we don't have to worry about what is virtuous or not, we only need to stick to our hearts and do whatever we want, so we ......"
"Since we don't like this Tang member, of course we have to kill it!"
"......" Zhao Bin was stunned.
Do you want to be so strong???
Do you want to be so brutal!!
In the distance, the figure who was swept by An Yi's gaze frowned, I don't know if it was because he was revealed, or because of An Yi's words...... (To be continued)
