Seeing the master's smile, Lin Xiaolu opened his mouth in confusion but said nothing.
He really missed Jiang Ning, and he felt unforgettable regret about the story between himself and Jiang Ning. He even woke up from sleep many times with wet eyes, but...
"Master, what is the price for resurrecting a person?" he asked.
"The price...is naturally necessary."
Li Mingru looked at the tombs on the shore and said sadly:
“Since ancient times, both immortal cultivators and mortals have had the same problem, which is death.
Whether it is a person, a spiritual beast, a ghost, an elf, or something else, or even whether it is good or evil, there must be some important people in the growth process of every life, such as relatives, friends, partners, etc. This is true for everything.
However, life is short and fragile, and even powerful people in the realm of gods and humans often die due to accidents. Therefore, when we reach this stage, how many people have never experienced death or separation. "
He sighed and continued:
"Xiao Chao is a man with brains, ambition, and perseverance. He wants to resurrect his sister, and for this reason, he even does not hesitate to destroy the six paths of reincarnation, so Mr. Zhong Ni, Jian Shang, Xiao Fenghuang, and other Taoist friends joined forces. stopped him.
And among those who stopped him, I was included. "
Having said this, Li Mingru paused for a moment, seeming to feel a little guilty in his heart.
He continued:
"The reason Xiao Chao hates me so much is because he thinks Xiaojun loves me more than his brother, but I don't allow him to resurrect Xiaojun.
So he felt that I had betrayed Xiaojun and his sister.
That's why he said at that time that everyone had a reason to stop him, except me. "
After the story was told, Lin Xiaolu looked at Li Mingru in surprise by the river, and Li Mingru also looked at him with a smile.
"Very surprised?"
"Yeah." Lin Xiaolu said bluntly:
"Master, why don't you agree with Mu Chaoge to resurrect Senior Mu?"
Li Mingru smiled:
"Because resurrecting a person is too involved."
Li Mingru patiently explained to the young man:
“Resurrection of a person in the true sense actually involves many issues.
It would be okay if she died not long ago and could be resurrected through the corpse. But Xiaojun was killed by a monster in a very remote place, and no one knew when she died. Xiaochao and I both waited until she didn't show up for many days. It was later discovered that she was missing, and by then it was already too late. Xiao Jun had no regrets and naturally returned to reincarnation. "
Li Mingru said:
"Xiaolu, your master and I are cultivators. First of all, our lifespan is indeed extremely long, long enough to wait until Xiaojun's afterlife. But if I am a teacher, or Xiaochao goes to find Xiaojun's afterlife and peels off his soul, then What do you think of Xiaojun’s parents in the afterlife?
If Xiaojun is still a human in the next life, then her biological mother gave birth to her in ten months of pregnancy, but we directly took away someone else's daughter and killed the other person's daughter in disguise. Do you think this is right? "
"Furthermore, the Six Paths of Reincarnation is the basic law of life and soul, and it is the balance of reincarnation. Since Xiaojun has been reincarnated, it means that she will have a new life and a new beginning. She should be in harmony with us emotionally and rationally. It is naturally inappropriate to draw a clear line, and for us to forcefully destroy the law of reincarnation for our own selfish desires and deprive her of the right to welcome a new life."
"But what if her new life isn't great?"
Lin Xiaolu hesitated and retorted: "If Senior Mu was born into a poor family and was bullied after her reincarnation, or came to some war-torn era, then Master, you would have brought her out of the sea of suffering. No matter how difficult it was, it would be helpful to give her some help. Not a bad thing.”
Faced with the boy's well-founded doubts, Li Mingru shook his head again. He saw that his apprentice was very moved by the resurrection of Jiang Ning. No wonder, there are so many regrets in the world, how many people can resist the temptation to see their loved one again? This is indeed human nature.
In the field, Li Mingru had no choice but to continue preaching:
"The situation you mentioned actually touches on the second issue, which is also the most realistic issue, that is, the consequences of destroying the six paths of reincarnation."
On the bank of the river, Li Mingru looked at the young man and said:
"Each of our three thousand continents has its own layer of heavenly management, which does not interfere with each other. But above these three thousand continents, there is another layer of unconsciousness and no wisdom. It can only understand the indescribable deep-level heavenly ways. , the teacher calls it the Supreme Way of Heaven.
This heavenly path contains all basic laws and definitions including the six paths of reincarnation, birth, aging, sickness and death. As for how this supreme heavenly path emerged, no one knows.
Xiaolu, you have to know that the emergence of every law in the three thousand worlds requires the accumulation of the Supreme Heavenly Dao bit by bit to take shape. For example, in ancient times, the heaven and earth were pure and turbid, the yin and yang were in chaos, and people were chaotic. There are no rules or laws in the world. Everything is the most primitive chaos. If the six paths of reincarnation are broken, it will cause reincarnation chaos and complete collapse. Because the laws are broken, the meaning of the existence of the laws themselves is gone. So This law will disappear completely. In this way, there will be no six reincarnations for a long time in the future. The final result is that after the death of living creatures in the world, the soul cannot be reincarnated and can only wander between heaven and earth. They become lonely ghosts. Gradually, as time goes by, their resentment and hostility will continue to increase. Finally, they will lose their sense and turn into evil ghosts that harm the world. In the future, all newborns will also They are living corpses without souls. By then, Three Thousand Continents will completely turn into hell.
This situation will last for a long time until new laws emerge, but do you think all the people in the world can persist until that time? "
Hearing this, Lin Xiaolu felt his whole body go numb.
He didn't expect that the consequences of breaking the six paths of reincarnation would be so serious.
Subconsciously imagine what Master said, it is indeed terrifying!
In the whole world, all the dead souls of animals, plants, etc. have all turned into ghosts, hiss~
By the river, under the peach tree, Li Mingru sighed heavily:
"Although the six paths of reincarnation are painful, they are essentially a kind of balance. It is fairness in the true sense. Some people suffer all the suffering in the world in their lives, and some people enjoy all the wealth and honor in the world, but they will eventually die, and in the next life , everything will start again, and everyone will have a new life.
Therefore, it is not only the fairness of life, but also the balance of yin and yang, so what I do to stop Xiao Chao is to protect this balance. "
After speaking, Li Mingru looked at the young man in front of him who bowed his head in silence, and patted his shoulder:
“Everyone will always have some regrets in life, missing some right people and missing out on some right things.
Perhaps the world is impermanent and comes and goes, so those things that should be let go will eventually have to be let go.
Xiaolu, we are very powerful, but we still have all kinds of regrets because we are not yet omnipotent.
But our life should not be determined by regrets, we should decide it ourselves. There are some things and some regrets, just face them calmly and bury them in your heart. As you often said when you were a child, a truly strong person Always with a scarred heart.
And no matter how weather-beaten this heart is, we can still let it continue to beat powerfully. This... is a strong person. "
Having said this, Li Mingru showed an approving smile to the young man:
"Little deer, life is like a song, with its own joys and sorrows."
