Through Guò's conversation with Tian Chengji and Hao Chengyan, Lu Zhiyi had a certain understanding of the attitude towards monsters in the cultivation world, and the topic started from the mountain col where they met.

The place where this mountain col is located is close to the Jishan Ruins a hundred miles away, and it is almost the only way to return to the Feng Sect from the Jishan Ruins. Jishan Ruins is the largest market in the cultivation world, which is composed of several market sets, located in the middle of the Daomen and the Buddha Gate, but it is beyond the jurisdiction of the Daomen sects and the Buddhist Mountains, which can be said to be a very complex area. There are not only major families and Buddhism and Taoism derived from the two major sects nearby, but also the frequent places of Buddhist practitioners, of course, the most are still all kinds of scattered cultivation haunts, so there are a lot of ruins scattered in many open flatlands or basins in the mountains, which is a very important gathering place for practitioners.

Jishan Market used to be just one of the bazaars, but over time it became the collective name of all the bazaars in the vicinity. In short, in the place of Jishan Ruins, to the north is the eleven sects of the Daomen, and to the south is the eleven mountains of the Buddhist gates, in which there are many families entrenched, and the small sects and scattered cultivation are intertwined, which can be said to be the most complex and chaotic place in the cultivation world. Generally speaking, monsters should not enter these places to avoid being poisoned by cultivators, but in fact, on the contrary, this is the place where monsters haunt the most.

What kind of relationship is there between cultivators and demons, it is simple but complicated, according to Tian Chengji's introduction to Lu Zhiyi, it is because the attitude of cultivators towards demons is different. Not only are the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism different, but even the sects within Buddhism and Taoism may not have any unanimous views. Some regard monsters as the same creatures. However, it is necessary for cultivators to educate, and there are also different opinions that accuse demons of being harmful to heaven and earth, and that they must be eliminated as soon as possible. And which one is right often changes with the specific time and situation.

Attitude determines the way to deal with it, Buddhism and Taoism are already so complicated, not to mention those families and various sects, their relationship with demons is antagonistic, and mutually beneficial, both fighting and cooperating, some families and a certain monster may have several generations of friendship, and some sects may have a life-and-death enmity with a certain monster, all kinds of situations. And so on. But it doesn't matter if it's friendship or cooperation. These relatively friendly relationships between cultivators and demons are all facilitated by some special chances, and are not the mainstream between cultivators and demons. In terms of the overall situation, demons and cultivators are always opposed, so Tian Chengji and the others saw Lu Zhiyi let go of the pig demon. It's still going to be weird. Because Lu Zhiyi saw this pig demon for the first time. There is no friendship between the two sides.

But the ones who deal with monsters the most are naturally not these big sects or family disciples. It's the loose practitioners. For the sake of their own cultivation, or even to be able to survive in the cultivation world, casual cultivators often go deep into the wilderness of the cultivation world to collect all kinds of treasures and elixirs, such as natural materials and earthly treasures, exotic flowers and plants. Naturally, it is inevitable to deal with monsters, and they are the ones who know monsters best.

In fact, if you ask them what their attitude towards monsters is, you will find that most of them support friendly coexistence with monsters. This attitude is not derived from any reason or sect rule, but from the actual experience they have gained in the wilderness. But this experience does not mean that the demons are friendly to the cultivators, and those casual cultivators do not mean to please the demons. In fact, the most people who died in the hands of demons were scattered cultivators, and most of the monsters also died in the hands of scattered cultivators.

The reason is also very simple, because the existence of demons is beneficial to the cultivators, and the demons can help them in all aspects. To give an example, the demons in the cultivation world are all some strange beasts or spirit birds that have become spirits and demons under special circumstances, some can turn into human bodies because of contact with cultivators, and some are cultivating supernatural powers in their original bodies. These monsters survive in the wilderness, not only guarding the growth of some elixirs from being devoured by other beasts, but also haunting the mountains and underground, looking for treasures useful to them.

In the process, the monsters may bring out some things that they don't need in the middle of the mountain, and these things that are waste to them are very likely to be treasures to the cultivators. It's easy for them to find based on their natural abilities, but if they want a cultivator to find it, it's a lot of work. For this reason alone, the cultivators would not want the monsters to be slaughtered or exterminated, the monsters were different from what they took, and they could take advantage of each other.

It's just that the attitude of the scattered cultivators can't determine the attitude of the major sects in the cultivation world towards demons, what kind of relationship is there between cultivators and demons, in fact, the most important thing is that it fell on the demon war thousands of years ago, from the Holy Sect to repel the demons and plant the fence, not only separating the world and the cultivation world, in fact, it is also equivalent to planting an invisible fence between the cultivators and the demons, and the situation formed is that the two survive separately and do not interfere with each other.

But this invisible fence will inevitably change with the change of time, and with the increase in the number of monsters and the growth of power, the power of invisible caution and fear is fading. There are more and more conflicts between cultivators and demons, and there are more and more things about monsters attacking cultivators, especially in recent years, there have even been monsters who dare to attack the Four Phases Realm of Tianzong, attack Daomen Lei Sect, and even break into Xuandu Mountain, kill and injure two generations of forgetful heaven, and spread rumors that the ancestors of the eight sects of Yin and Yang of Daomen are monsters.

Because of the death and injury of the two generations of Forgetful Heaven, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect, Yuan Wuyi, temporarily took over the position of Daomen Forgetful Heaven, called Substitute Futian, and presided over the affairs of Daomen. In view of the fact that the demons have repeatedly provoked the Daomen, over the years, Daifu Tianyuan has been running around, first rectifying the eight sects of Daomen Yin and Yang, not to be disturbed by rumors, and warning the disciples that although the patriarchs of the eight sects are indeed monsters, the recipes created are derived from the two recipes of heaven and earth, and there is no doubt that they are still Daomen cultivators. In particular, the patriarch of the eight schools is a monster, and the past generations have known it, not to mention that the practice of the eight schools can enter the realm of liberation, and there is no shortage of people in the past dynasties. It proves that the Eight Recipes of Yin and Yang are still Dao Recipes, so there is no need to doubt this matter.

In addition, Yuan Wujiao is also running around, Di Xuantian once used the life pushing technique to calculate the changes in heaven and earth, and there will be a catastrophe between cultivators and demons, so he united the heads of the major families of the Daoist Sect, as well as visited the Buddha's World Venerable, to discuss the matter of jointly resisting the catastrophe. Yuan Wuyi claimed that there were all kinds of signs that the Heaven and Earth Tribulation calculated by Di Xuantian was really coming. But practitioners lack vigilance. When the time comes, it will inevitably be taken advantage of by the demons, and if the cultivator reacts at that time, it will definitely be too late, so it is necessary to make all kinds of preparations in advance.

There are two preparations for what Yuan Wuyi said. One. It is to let the major sects in the cultivation world. Regardless of the Buddha's path, we must know that this variable is coming, so that we can take all kinds of precautions. Second. It is to make the majority of cultivators wary of monsters at this time, so as not to be taken advantage of by monsters.

Yuan Wuyi's initiative was approved by the immortal Lotus Flower of Buddhism, and Lianhua Zun rekindled the lantern of the Foshan Torture Tower to show the response. The rest of the cultivation sects and families also agreed, but not many sects and families reacted to this incident that did not happen, and in the past few years, the cultivation world has been peaceful and peaceful, and nothing special has happened.

Just when the people in the cultivation world were quite skeptical of Yuan Wujiao's actions, three months ago, Yuan Wuyi suddenly issued an order to the eight sects of the Daomen One Xuan and the Two Sects in the capacity of Daomen Acting as Futian, requiring all the disciples of the Eleven Sects of the Dao Sect to kill the monsters they saw, which was the so-called demon removal order.

This order is said to have caused an extremely strong dispute among the major sect masters of the Daomen, but no matter what, Yuan Wuyi is already the Daomen's substitute for the Auxiliary Heaven, although the Daomen Forgetfulness Heaven does not directly control the affairs of other sects, but the order issued is transmitted to the entire cultivation world, so it can represent the attitude of the Daomen. Therefore, in the past three months, there have been a lot of conflicts between the people in the Daomen and the demons in the cultivation world, and when they see each other, they either flee immediately or fight each other, although the demons have died a lot, and the disciples of the Daomen are also injured.

After hearing this, Lu Zhi asked Tian Chengji, "In this way, wouldn't it make cultivators and demons inevitably enter a situation of killing each other?"

When Lu Zhiyi said this, Chu Chengcheng heard it from afar, and said: "Di Xuantian pushed the calamity that the demon knows, the demon will inevitably come to destroy the cultivator, if you don't strike the demon first, do you still want to let the tiger return to the mountain?"

Chu Cheng's repentance was clearly ridiculing Lu Zhiyi for letting go of the pig demon. As soon as Lu Zhi heard this, he was silent, and Tian Chengji scolded: "Senior Brother Chu, you are becoming more and more presumptuous, don't forget it, if it weren't for our predecessors, we would have been killed by that pig demon a long time ago." At that time, can you still be rude to your predecessors here as you are now?"

Chu Cheng regretted that he couldn't argue, so he had to remain silent. Lu Zhiyi said: "It's not right for you to say that, what he said also makes sense, I didn't know about the things between cultivators and demons before, so I didn't understand your thoughts, but now I know it!"

Hao Chengyan said: "Senior, then you mean that if you had known about these things, you would not have let go of that pig demon!"

Lu Zhi smiled and shook his head: "If you don't want to kill him, you just don't want to kill him, I have no holiday with him, no grudges, and no reason to kill him." Heaven and earth gave birth to me and gave birth to him, and I have no reason to cross the heavens and kill him. ”

Chu Cheng repented and said: "Senior, are there still few things of life and death between heaven and earth? Hungry wolves fight rabbits, lions fight wolves, aren't they born?"

Lu Zhiyi smiled slightly and said: "I am neither a hungry wolf nor a lion, although I will also hunt wild beasts to eat, but it is for my stomach, not for the sake of killing." ”

Chu Cheng's regret can't be refuted, but Hao Chengyan and Tian Chengji are thoughtful. Lu Zhiyi said again: "I see that your cultivation is about to enter the state of knowing the mind, you must know that you have experienced the primordial spirit of illusion, and from now on you will turn into your heart. In my opinion, the so-called evil is the one that does not ask the reason for the heart, but is in the way of the heart's tendency. In the path of cultivation, one should not add any more explanation to one's own actions, saying that one's every move has any meaning, and that every move is only one cause and one effect at the moment, so that it is the state of clarity. ”

In the past few days, Lu Zhiyi has not only talked to them about some things in the cultivation world, but also about some things in the cultivation world. With Lu Zhiyi's cultivation, he casually pointed out the practice of Hao Chengyan and Tian Chengji, and he was always able to cut into the various keys in their practice, and as they asked more questions, Lu Zhiyi's words became more and more subtle, which really benefited them a lot. Tian Chengji once persuaded Chu Chengji to ask Senior Lu for advice, but Chu Chengji never refused, and Tian Chengji's repeated persuasion was ineffective, so he had to give up in the end.
