Seeing Qingyun's strange and slightly contemptuous expression, Yan Lao didn't take it seriously at all and said:
"Actually, Qingyun, did you know that the first person who snatched the dry food was beaten to death by the crowd, and the crowd you threw the pancake into was trampled into a pile of minced meat by the people who followed, like a flesh and blood mill. .”
As Yan Shi said, he really didn't care. He didn't have time to escape at that time, so how could he care about those "hungry wolves" who all looked the same?
Although Qingyun lowered his head with some guilt, he did not stop speaking and continued to criticize his heart word by word:
"I know that you do realize the seriousness of the problem now, but these three words for you to 'realize' require dozens of human lives!"
Yan Lao's tone was not too harsh, but very calm, and his eyes were as peaceful as ever. He looked at Qingyun thoughtfully and fell silent, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
After a while, with regret and self-blame, Qingyun suddenly asked:
"You, Mr. Yan, want me to think twice before I act?"
Yan Shi slowly opened his eyes and answered seriously and compassionately for the first time:
"It's not just about thinking three times, you have to think nine times, think a hundred times!"
As he spoke, he looked lovingly at the beautiful young man in front of him who made him more and more satisfied, but he sighed secretly in his heart, and then said:
"Fate comes and goes, life is impermanent. Who among our generation of monks has not experienced killing? Maybe you don't know it, but at least now you are riddled with hostility and karma is difficult to eliminate. I am not saying that Qingyun, your men, are full of blood debts. , but your heart has been occupied by hatred."
Qingyun's eyes narrowed when he heard this. It was not unusual for Yan Lao to see through his cultivation level, and it was not even impossible to see through his secrets, but it was difficult to see through a person's heart.
Yao Mengxun was one, and Yan Lao in front of him was another, but the former relied on his innate abilities, while the latter used the wisdom he learned after thousands of years of hard work.
"I can tell that you didn't actually intend to save people before, and you were even a little indifferent. You just wanted to follow the refugees to their destination. But you saw someone falling on the way and still helped you, which is enough to prove your heart. You are a pure and kind person who has not been deceived by the evil spirit and fallen into the devil's path."
Qingyun nodded. He seemed to understand the old man's intention, but as for the violence, he didn't take it seriously.
"I don't have the ability to communicate with other people's minds. I just see that you, a little kid, has deep-rooted hatred and will attract inner demons at any time, but you still retain that innocent kindness. It is really precious, so I follow you." Just a reminder."
"Thank you, Mr. Yan!"
Qingyun sincerely clasped his fists and bowed. Yan Shi accepted Qingyun's salute calmly, then stood up and said solemnly:
"Don't think that the victims who lost their lives because of your poor thinking have nothing to do with you, and don't believe that nonsense that only requires a clear conscience. The facts are the facts. I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. Is it possible? Does achievement have nothing to do with it anymore?”
"The lessons learned by the seniors should be remembered by the juniors in the future."
"It's good to know! As the cultivation progresses, monks will gain more and more powerful power, but their actions will also produce endless karma. Yes, the vast majority of monks in the world do not believe in this. Yes, because cultivation is a process of eliminating falsehood and retaining truth, but who knows whether evil thoughts are the hostility in oneself?"
Yan Shi seemed to be teaching Qingyun, but also seemed to be mumbling to himself.
"The demon I'm talking about is not the demon of the devil, but the demon of the heart! If you are haunted by inner demons, you will turn into a walking zombie without any good thoughts of right and wrong, without any moral bottom line, and only have desires in your heart. Eventually, you will be destroyed by the world. We must all punish you together, remember it, remember it, Qingyun!"
Although Qingyun still didn't believe it when he heard this, he quickly bowed to Yan Lao again and thanked him:
"Yes, this junior will definitely keep it in mind!"
Immediately, Yan Lao continued:
"To be honest, it is difficult for a person with a pure heart to survive in the world of cultivation, and the further you go, the easier it is to lose your true heart. Therefore, many monks directly choose the path of ruthlessness to practice, thinking that only by being ruthless and without love can the true heart be normal. Yes, what do you think?"
"If you are ruthless and loveless, where is your true intention?"
Qingyun's words made Mr. Yan very satisfied, but he only smiled for a moment, but still admonished:
"I can feel that there is a strong power of karma lingering around you. It is this power of karma that makes you so violent. However, the law of the weak and the strong will definitely make your hands stained with blood. In this way, It will make your karma even more difficult to eliminate, and eventually the inner demon will take advantage of it. I hope you must be cautious, be careful, Qingyun!"
"Senior, then I should..."
After hearing the old man's instructions and care again and again, Qingyun finally realized the seriousness of the matter. Regarding this, Xiao Qi, who was sleeping, seemed to have mentioned it, but it was not that serious, and it just reminded him to let go of his hatred.
But every time he dreamed back at midnight, nine out of ten things that lingered in his dreams were the tragic scenes of Liangren Village being massacred, burned, and destroyed, as well as the bright red clothes of his father before he died. Such people who killed their father and massacred the village How can you just let go of a big grudge?
In other words, if he hadn't turned hatred into his spiritual pillar, he might have died long ago.
But before he could finish his words, Yan Lao returned to his somewhat ungrateful demeanor and interrupted him with a smile:
"I forgot what the old man asked you at the beginning?"
"Senior asked me why I didn't save more lives."
Qingyun blurted out.
"Yes, why don't you save more people's lives? Helping others is always happy, isn't it?"
In Qingyun Ruo's enlightened eyes, Yan Shi laughed heartily again and interrupted his meditation, saying:
"Hahahaha, since you called me Senior, then as a senior, I can't treat you badly. An expert must behave like an expert, right?"
Immediately, he pointed to the bluestone under him, winked at Qingyun and said:
"Qingyun, this jade was dug out by the old man from a small world in the bitter cold land of the far north five hundred years ago. Now I give it to you, no need to thank me! Who made me the senior?"
"ah?"
While Qingyun was stunned, Old Man Yan flew up out of thin air and floated above the clouds.
Immediately, Qingyun's ears suddenly remembered the other party's inappropriate laughter and a sentence:
"This technique was created by Lao Chan himself. It has no great use. When practicing on daily basis, it should be combined with the blue stone I gave you just now. Oh no, it's jade. It can make you calm. Under the movement of the heavens, you can cleanse evil thoughts and eliminate anger. What's the name? I haven’t thought about it yet, I’m very happy talking to you today, let’s just call it “Happy Kung Fu”.”
Qingyun was already very shocked when he got the technique, but Yan Lao's next words made him burst into tears of gratitude:
"Also, Lao Chen is an alchemist, so he will teach you some basic alchemy techniques. It is not a top-secret method. You can practice it for fun if you have nothing to do. If you want to repay Lao Chen, I will give you a pill in the future. Just give me the refined elixir to replenish my health! We will meet again when we are destined!"
It wasn't until Yan Lao's voice was completely silenced that Qingyun finally realized that what he was using and the last words his father left for him were spiritual messages unique to high-level monks.
But just as he was about to say thank you, Mr. Yan had already disappeared without a trace. In the end, Qingyun had no choice but to move his fists in the direction where Mr. Yan left and clasped his hands deeply, murmuring:
"I don't say thank you for your kindness, just take care of me."
He understood that the care that this elder in white clothes gave to him was a kind of love and care from an elder to a younger generation, but what was commendable was that he and this senior did not know each other at all.
But as Mr. Yan said, meeting is fate. Maybe he thought he liked him so he gave him a few words, or maybe it was because his good deeds in the officialdom made the old man feel a little emotional, so he gave him some blessings.
But no matter what, the kindness conveyed by Yan Lao was something he hadn't tasted in a long time.
Qingyun, who had gone through the suffering of life and death without shedding a single tear, choked up inexplicably. Recalling the skills taught by Yan Shi, his heart was shocked again:
"Happy Kung Fu, Happy Kung Fu, if your heart is not open, how can you be happy? Mr. Yan has been so kind to me, and now I have nothing to repay. I can only wish you good health and diligent cultivation. Thank you Qingyun!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply in the direction that Yan Lao left again, and then stood up after a while to show his respect.
But he didn't know that the old man Nayan actually stayed invisible in the air and stared at him for a long time. The more he looked at the handsome young man in front of him, the more he fell in love with him. He wished he could take him directly into the sect and accept him as a closed disciple. .
"This young man named Qingyun has extraordinary qualifications. He is really a dragon and a phoenix among people. He is no less inferior than those geniuses of the Three Heavens and Four Sects. He is also modest and polite, and has a pure character. I just don't know what he is carrying. With such overwhelming hatred, it is really strange that at such a young age, there are signs of the invasion of demonic thoughts only in the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm."
Seeing Qingyun bowing again in the direction he left, Yan Lao couldn't help but smile once again, but then he said to himself unbearably:
"Hey, I don't know what kind of evil this poor baby has done in his previous life. He has evil thoughts and karma. Even if he has killed someone at his age, he will not be entangled in such a strong karma. This must be How many dry bones can it take to build up the power of karma!"
In fact, ordinary monks cannot see the so-called karma at all, because it is beyond the scope of practice and belongs to some kind of rules between heaven and earth.
The reason why Shi was able to discover it was because he had an opportunity in his early years to practice the causal technique that had been lost since ancient times, and was able to see the blood evil karma around Qingyun.
"I thought it would be some peerless evil demon who wanted to eliminate demons and protect the way, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a kind-hearted young man. Logically speaking, not only is it impossible for low-level monks to have such strong blood evil karma, but even if it happens to low-level monks, He should have turned into a walking zombie who only knows how to kill."
If Qingyun heard these words at this time and the old man almost killed him to "eliminate demons and defend the way", I wonder if he would immediately jump up and scold his mother.
However, if he knew who his strong karmic power came from, or who he was almost killed as a demon, he would probably curse his mother-in-law for the first time in his life.
PS: There are not many opportunities for Yan Lao to appear for the time being, but he will be the first person to lead the protagonist without losing his true intentions, and characters related to him will also appear in the future.
The article may lack pretense and slap in the face, but the three golden chapters are what I think in my heart. Thank you for reading~
