Hua Bushi lowered his head again and said nothing, and after a while, he said, "Junior brother is thinking, what is the difference between what we have done is right or wrong, and what is the difference between the so-called Mituo Pure Land Sect of the Demon Dao?"

Yang Jiangyi said: "That is naturally very different, at least we don't believe in the teachings of Nalaoshzi, and we don't have to abide by those rules and precepts." It's just that if you can't even eat onions, ginger and garlic, I can't stand it. ”

Hua Bushi said: "The matter of fasting is just a formality, and it has no meaning. What the younger brother is talking about is the way of doing things that disregard the lives of others. In order to realize this dream, it is necessary to expand the strength of the sect, so that the shili of the 'Evil Dog Gate' spreads throughout the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, so that the order that we can establish must be complied with by every person in the rivers and lakes. But isn't it a bit of a contradiction to have to do all that killing now?"

"It is unacceptable that the actions of the Demon Dao Mi Tu Pure Land Sect are in vain for the life and death of others, and they are disregarding human lives, which is unacceptable, but they are also in order to achieve the ultimate goal of building this earthly world into the Pure Land of Bliss as stated in their teachings, how similar is it to our approach, and how can we distinguish between good and evil?"

Ever since he heard Zhuo Yiwen talk about the teachings of the Mituo Pure Land Sect, Hua Bushi has been thinking about this question, and he is quite troubled in his heart, but he can't think of the result.

It is extremely difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil in this world, and even many sages and saints in ancient and modern times have difficulty understanding the truth. Just because the same thing seems to be right from some people or from a certain point of view, but in the eyes of others it is extremely wrong, even rebellious.

Just like the "Evil Dog Sect" to kill the "Hong Shengtang" gang, if from the perspective of the Jianghu sect, it was a self-defense move, which is understandable, but in the eyes of the parents, wives and children of those who were killed by the gang, how could this kind of killing not be a cruel and incomparably evil act?

Most people think about things from their own point of view, but they are simple and direct. However, the more intelligent and intelligent a person is, the more thorough and comprehensive his observation of things is, and he often thinks and judges from different angles, but it is not easy to distinguish between right and wrong in a matter.

And whether it is reasonable to use unscrupulous means and certain wrong ways in order to achieve the so-called right goal is not clear.

At this time, Hua Bushi fell into such a trouble.

Yang Jiangyi heard Hua Bushi's words, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "After I heard about what the people in the Demon Dao did, I felt that they were not good people, they must be some evil people, does my brother also think so, so when Miss Yiwen invited you to join the sect, you were unwilling to accept it?"

Hua Bushi said: "In the eyes of the younger brother, their way of acting is indeed a little evil, which I can't accept. ”

Yang Jiangyi said: "That's it." Master once taught me that 'it is better to abandon the religion than to hold on to the form, and enlightenment comes from the original heart', and that it is impossible to distinguish between right and wrong in this world, so we only need to follow our own heart at all times, and as for being judged by others as good or evil, it is irrelevant, and we don't need to pay attention to it. ”

Hua Bushi nodded, and said: "It's better to give up the religion than to hold the form, and the enlightenment comes from the heart', the respected teacher Hua Qingzhen is really a senior master, if he is still in the world, Hua Bushi must worship under his door, even if he can't learn martial arts, just learn this way of life and be content!"

Yang Jiangyi smiled and said, "What the master said, of course, is very reasonable. It's just that my master won't accept an incompetent disciple like you, you want to be my junior disciple, but it's impossible, if you really want to join the Huashan faction, worship me as a teacher!"

Hua Bushi said: "There is nothing wrong with worshipping my sister as a teacher, but the doubts in my younger brother's heart have not been completely eliminated." ”

Yang Jiangyi coughed lightly, straightened his face, and said, "If you still have any doubts, just ask the teacher, and the teacher will definitely give you advice." ”

Hua Bushi said: "'It's better to abandon the religion than to hold the form, and enlightenment comes from the heart' is certainly an extremely clever way to deal with the world, but it's a pity that although the younger brother can ignore the worldly dogma, he still can't find his own heart, what should I do?"

Yang Jiangyi said: "If you think that your dream is right, you can insist on doing it, and if you feel that the way of the people of the Demon Dao is unacceptable, you will not go along with them, this is your heart, how can you not find it?"

Hua Bushi said: "I originally thought so, but now I feel that my mind is chaotic and I don't know why. The devil's actions are not right, and we may not be right, and the right and wrong, good and evil, are really like a mess in the mind of the younger brother, and it is completely unclear. ”

Yang Jiangyi thought about it again and said: "For the sake of the apprentice who is so humble in asking for advice, as a teacher, I will pass you a method of fasting, you bring a pen and paper, and I will write down this ** mantra for you." ”

Hua Bushi grinned, stood up and slammed it to the ground, and said, "Thank you, sister, Master, for passing on the skills!"

Sure enough, he went to the pen, ink and paper on the table, took out another board, and put Yang Jiang's clothes on his lap.

Yang Jiangyi half sat on the bed, picked up a brush, and wrote a few lines on the paper:

"If you have a will, you will not listen to it with your ears, but listen to it with your heart, and if you do not listen to it with your heart, you will listen to it with your heart. Hearing stops at the ear, and the heart stops at the symbol. Those who are angry are also those who treat things in vain. Only the Tao gathers the void. The hypocrisy, the heart is also weak. ”

After writing, Yang Jiangyi handed the paper to Hua Bushi and said: "This is the best internal skill in the martial arts, called the art of Xinzhai, which is much stronger than your 'Ten Spices and Soft Tendons' incense stunt, you can take it to study, you will be able to untie the knot in your heart, and you will no longer feel confused." ”

Hua Bushi took the note, read it carefully, and suddenly smiled: "It turns out that my sister can also deceive people! What is written on this paper is obviously the words and sentences taught by the Confucian sage Yan Hui in the inner chapter of Zhuangzi. The younger brother has been studying literature since he was a child, and he has also read through the classics of the Warring States Princes and Hundred Schools, how can he not know it?"

Yang Jiangyi pursed his lips and smiled: "You have not performed the great ceremony of apprenticeship, you are not a formal disciple, our Huashan faction's internal strength method cannot be passed on to you, this Confucius's heart fasting method, although it is slightly worse than the Huashan faction's internal strength method, but it can barely be called a stunt, for the teacher is now passed on to you, you still dare to be dissatisfied!"

She paused for a moment, and then said softly: "This method of fasting was actually taught to me by the master, and I want to do it for meditation before practicing internal strength. ”

Hua Bushi was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, and said: "The little brother is so angry that he actually forgot that he had to keep his mind empty, so that he could clarify things and solve his doubts, thanks to my sister's reminder!"

Yang Jiangyi said: "My brother is very smart, in fact, even if there is no reminder from Jiangyi, it won't be long before you think of it." ”

Hua Bushi said: "In front of my sister's great wisdom, the younger brother is just a little smart, and it is not worth mentioning at all. Sister Domon passed on the method of fasting to my heart, so my younger brother took his leave and went to practice on his own, and came to visit my sister later. ”

Yang Jiangyi nodded and said, "You go, Jiangyi's injury is no longer serious, and my brother doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Hua Bushi said goodbye and hurried back to his room.

Of course, he didn't really want to practice any internal strength, but wanted to achieve a state of meditation and emptiness, and to comprehend the way of "right, wrong, good and sin" in this world.

Everyone has their own "way".

The mystery of the so-called "Tao" lies in the fact that it can only be understood, not spoken. The difficulty of enlightenment lies in the path of liberation from the confusion in one's mind, and one can only continue to explore and pursue it by oneself, and cannot rely on the help of others. No one can teach the Tao directly to others, not even the Confucian saints.

The method of fasting that Yang Jiangyi said is just a method of meditation and enlightenment, but it does not tell Hua Bushi what the "Tao" is. Of course, Hua Bushi also knows very well that his own "Tao" can only be comprehended by himself.

The sky was bright, the sun rose from the eastern horizon, and the first rays of sunlight shone on the courtyard wall of the Sun family's old house through the branches and leaves of the trees, leaving dappled light and shadow.

Hua Bushi walked out of the door and into the courtyard, where he had been sitting quietly for four hours. At this time, Hua Bushi's depressed and depressed face last night was completely gone, and his eyes were shining, as warm as the rising sun.

He regained his former appearance of a young master who was full of self-confidence and full of energy.

Has he already realized his "way"?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Compared to Hua Bushi's regained self-confidence, Ximen Hitomi was even more depressed than last night.

He also sat in the room for four hours, and the passage of time seemed to mean nothing to the seventeen-year-old boy. The handsome face that once made all the girls feel excited, but at the moment it was dull, shrouded in a layer of gray color, and his eyes were even more hollow, as if he had lost a little vitality of Zuihou.

When he was in the small courtyard last night, Ximen Hitomi had already thought of death, and if Yu Qianli and Li Hu made a move on him, he would definitely not resist.

But Hua Bushi finally just said to him, "You go back to your room to rest", not only did he not ask for his life, but he didn't even say a word of reproach. He came to the aid of the enemy, not only let Zhuo Yiwen go, but also caused Yang Jiangyi and Bai Yiling to be seriously injured, and now he has become an abominable traitor to all his peers, Hua Bushi should have killed him immediately!
