Niu Bo's eyes widened when he heard this, and he immediately knew what Ling Qing was going to do.
I couldn't help but think about it in my heart, "There is a saying in the world that a new official takes office with three things to do, and this is indeed true."
If the young master ascends the throne and does not do something, who will take him seriously?
Yes, his sword is so sharp that it scares all the monsters, but doing this again and again is frightening.
It's just that he has used it too many times and has no other means. People think he only knows this.
Now the leader has simply left the great religion to the young master and gone to practice in seclusion himself.
The next step must be the decision of the young master. Why don't I help you more? According to the world, it is also a follower of the dragon? '
After thinking about it in his mind, he immediately stood up and said: "What the young master said is true.
There is a saying in the world that there is no circle without rules.
We are just used to being idle, which is why Tieguai Li and the others suppressed many of our friends last time. "
Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The young master had also done this with them at that time.
If he complained about the Eight Immortals, wouldn't he also complain about the young master?
Then he hurriedly said: "Of course, the young master also taught us a lesson at that time.
This lesson should be taught today.
We must change this situation under the leadership of the young master, so as not to be reckoned with again...
In order to avoid the need for young master to be vigilant. "
Those who are monsters or demons do not have high cultivation and high realm to know right and wrong.
This just means that their achievements in a certain aspect are far beyond ordinary people.
It doesn't mean they are omnipotent.
Why is it said that cultivation should be a Taoist practice? It is because, while practicing Taoism, one can understand many of the true principles of heaven and earth.
In this way, nothing in the world can escape his vision.
They won't be like monsters like them, who can't see Mount Tai even if they are blinded by a leaf.
Niu Bo is thoughtful and his cultivation is not weak, but after all, he is limited by himself. If he really wants to flatter his horse, ask for advice, etc., he is not as good as a mortal above the court.
What he said in an attempt to please Ling Qing turned out to be careless.
However, Lingqing didn't take it too seriously. Niu Bo was able to stand up and perform, which surprised him.
Ling Qing glanced at Chun who was standing aside. After Chun understood, he stood up and said: "These days, the young master has spent his efforts to formulate some rules and regulations for our Tongtian Sect.
I am announcing this to everyone today. I hope you will always be alert and keep it in mind.
Otherwise, violators will be punished under the canon. "
All the demons also understood at this time, saying so much, it is the young master who wants to set rules for everyone.
Isn’t it just to make everyone listen to him? What's so hard about this?
They didn't think much about it, and since Ling Qing's previous intimidation was still there, they all stood up and responded: "We will definitely abide by the canon rules and we will not dare to neglect them."
Ling Qing said loudly: "Okay, I hope you can remember what I said at this time, otherwise, if there is any violation, don't blame me for not predicting what I said."
"Don't dare!" The demons responded again.
Chun took out a piece of silk and read: "The journey of a great religion must have rules and regulations, and the way of practice must first eliminate evil and promote good.
Here are five basic precepts for everyone to listen to:
First, one must not kill any living thing for food, but one should do kindness to insects;
Second, we must not be scheming, harming others and benefiting ourselves, but should practice yin virtue and benefit all living beings;
Thirdly, one must not let any evil deeds corrupt the true spirit, or be filthy or condescending, and one must maintain chastity to avoid any fault;
Fourth, we must not be greedy or accumulate unjust wealth, but should be thrifty and help the poor;
Fifthly, one should not be angry and bully others, flatter thieves and do harm to good deeds, but should harmonize one's temperament and focus on purity. "
After Chun recited, he looked at the demons and said, "These are the five general commandments, and there are various detailed commandments after that, so I won't go into details one by one.
In the future, a book of clear rules and precepts will be handed over to you, and I hope you will study it in detail. "
The demons and monsters who had just agreed wholeheartedly couldn't help but look at each other in shock after hearing this.
Isn’t this the commandment of Taoism? Why is our demon sect doing this?
The first rule is that you are not allowed to take any life for taste. This is something that no one can do.
In the past, which one of you was not in Xiaoao Mountain Forest, where you could eat whatever you wanted?
The harder they struggle, the more excited everyone becomes to eat.
And the fish and turtles in the sea became spirits, and even his own descendants were used to feed fellow Taoists.
If everyone is not allowed to eat this from now on, what will they eat?
"This is to teach you to refrain from killing and being angry." Ling Qing said, looking at the way the demons looked at each other.
"Cultivation of the mind and seeking the Tao, purity is the most precious thing. If you allow the dirty thoughts in your mind to run rampant, how can you see the true Tao?"
"Young Master, we are all used to eating, so what if you tell us not to eat?" Even King Shenying couldn't help it this time.
Although he is patient, he still hasn't changed his habit of eating blood food.
He doesn't eat people, it's not to his liking.
But those mountain hares and forest deer looked particularly plump.
Tear it into pieces with your claws and eat it alive, each having its own taste.
Lingqing asked: "How many years have you been practicing?"
King Shenying thought for a while and said: "I don't know the details, but it has been seven or eight thousand years since spiritual wisdom began."
Lingqing asked again: "Can you live by breathing breath?"
"That's natural." King Shenying said proudly: "Five thousand years ago, my subordinates were able to eat breath and live a long life."
"Then do you know how many years Tieguaili, the earliest practitioner among the Eight Immortals, has been practicing?"
King Shenying hesitated for a moment and said with certainty: "I really don't know about this, but it won't last a thousand years."
"How does his thousands of years of practice compare to your nearly ten thousand years of practice?"
"This..." King Shenying hesitated for a while, and then reluctantly said: "Although my subordinates can't defeat him, he can't even hope to catch up with me."
"You have been cultivating for nearly ten thousand years, but he has only been cultivating for a few hundred years before he became an immortal, far superior to you.
Have you ever thought about the difference? "
"It's clear that the Heavenly Court won't let us live!" Not only King Shenying was angry at this time, but Sun Hu and others were also dissatisfied.
"A demon is a demon. If you practice for thousands of years, you are still a demon. You will never become an immortal!"
"Yeah, why do they look down on us?"
"Why can't we demons become immortals?"
Chun Ying didn't feel anything after listening to Ling Qing's words, but now she couldn't help but feel angry.
Her husband, Jiao Long Jing, had practiced for thousands of years and was determined to become an immortal, but in the end he died.
He wants to become an immortal, so what's wrong with that? Why doesn't God give him this chance?
Chun didn't feel as indignant as they did. Jian Lingqing looked at everyone with a dull expression, showing happiness and anger.
In order to prevent everyone from angering the young master, she quickly shouted: "Quiet!"
Ling Qing saw everyone calm down and stared at him, then he said: "You can't become immortals, only the evil thoughts in your heart will never go away.
That Zhang Guolao was also a newborn mouse in heaven and earth, who cultivated into a bat and became a spirit.
Why can he become an immortal? "
"He became an immortal only after he turned into an adult!" Those who knew could not help but say it.
"Correct answer." Ling Qing nodded and said: "Because he purified his body and mind and accumulated merits, he was reincarnated as an adult and obtained immortality.
Then do you think that after you die, will you be able to have this immortal fate in your next life? "
Lingqing didn't wait for their answer, and continued: "I don't think so.
Because of what you are doing now, let alone being reborn as a human being in the next life, you will be destined to be immortal.
Even if you can enter the animal realm and live as an animal in the world, you don't have this opportunity.
I'm afraid that most of them will fall into the realm of hungry ghosts and hells, and many will never be reincarnated. "
Ling Qing's words made all the demons break out in cold sweat.
It's not that they don't have fear, all the previous arrogance was just because of their ignorance.
At this time, after listening to Ling Qing's words and thinking about the future outcome, he naturally understood.
No matter how great your cultivation is, you will still have to go through reincarnation after death.
When the time comes, how can the underworld judge this? How can they decide?
Ling Qing said to everyone again: "I am telling you today to abstain from killing and being angry, and to eliminate evil and preserve good. I am not asking you to change your ways and become good people.
Rather, we must guard against the murderous intention in your hearts and remove the anger and troubles in your hearts so that you can practice with a pure heart.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Even if I practice magic in the future, I will still be the devil and my thoughts will be my messenger.
Instead of thinking as a demon, you are controlled by this demonic thought. "
As the saying goes, those who understand the truth can touch people's hearts.
Ling Qing's words were not empty words, but were based on the previous fear of him in the hearts of the demons.
Use magic to imprint these words in their hearts, so that when they hear Ling Qing's words, whenever they think about it, the words will echo in their hearts.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this idea was their own feelings after listening to Ling Qing's words and their own understanding.
This is what makes them like this.
This kind of magic is very useless, and the conditions are very harsh.
Moreover, when teaching disciples in a serious way, you should not use this kind of trickery, otherwise it will damage the spirituality of the disciples.
But this group of monsters had done too many evil things in the past, and even if they had a little bit of aura, they would have been wiped out by the dirty thoughts in their hearts.
Lingqing didn't care whether it would destroy their spirituality.
Furthermore, he can use this to guide them to do good, and in the future he will use the power of the spiritual dragon to gather spiritual light for them.
If he cannot be guided to do good, he will inevitably be cleaned up when he reorganizes his teaching affairs in the future.
By then, they may not even have the right to choose.
Lingqing asked again: "I wonder if you are willing to comply?"
"I'll wait..." The demons hesitated for a moment and saw Ling Qing's expression was dull.
But it was this calmness, coupled with the Immortal Killing Sword behind him, that made them feel like they were being smitten by heaven.
They all raised their hearts and bowed, "We are willing to uphold this!"
"Okay, since you have such a kind heart, you will have immeasurable merits in the future!" Ling Qing heard this and said in praise, stroking his palms.
"If you can carefully abide by my rules and precepts, I will ensure that you will succeed in your Taoist career and become an immortal!"
"Thank you, young master!" The demons were overjoyed and worshiped with sincerity.
The demons don't care whether they have a Taoist career or not, but they still have high hopes for becoming an immortal.
After all, once you start practicing, who wouldn't want to take it a step further?
Their training as demons has come to an end. If they really can become immortals, even if there is a slight chance, they are not willing to give up.
"Since everyone has agreed, then go back and tell your subordinates that soon I will ask the leader to open an altar for you to receive precepts and hold talismans." Ling Qing nodded with satisfaction.
He also warned: "Once you receive the precepts, you must abide by them carefully, otherwise the precepts will be merciless, so don't touch them lightly.
There will be my immortal-killing sword energy in that ring talisman. If you have evil thoughts in your heart, this talisman will alert you.
Let you calm down your thoughts.
If you are still stubborn and insist on your own way, the sword energy in this talisman will kill your souls.
My heart is merciful, and a true spirit such as Sheer will go away from reincarnation, but I'm afraid it's hopeless to have the same cultivation level as it is today.
I hope you can be careful and don't make mistakes lightly.
Don't blame me for being too cruel. You must know that the most difficult thing to practice is to be distracted.
But to make people feel fearful, they have to use this kind of coercion. Once the coercion lasts for a long time, it becomes natural.
If you can achieve moral success in the future, then this talisman will be a life-saving means I give you. "
Ling Qing's repeated warnings made all the monsters feel fear and a hint of regret.
But this regret is not as good as the fear of Lingqing in their hearts.
And if you break the commandments, even if you are punished, it will be in the future. It is better than facing the horror of Lingqing now.
A group of demons took the rules and doctrines and went to understand them on their own.
Chun also made it public and taught some little demons early, asking them to explain it one by one to the little demons in the sect.
It is necessary to make them understand that the meaning of each clause and every example must be fully understood, and they must not be confused.
Otherwise, if they were allowed to receive the talisman of the commandments without any hesitation, then they would be killed by the Zhuxian Sword Qi because of the commandments they accidentally touched, and that would be considered as being executed without teaching.
In this case, this is not a merit, but a sin.
The precepts in the religion are more than just the five declared by Chun.
There are different requirements for believers of different levels, different cultivation levels, and different races.
More than half a month later, after Chun had informed the whole sect, Lingqing invited Zang Lingzi to preside over the ceremony of holding the talisman and being ordained.
Although Zang Lingzi was not happy when he saw this thing, he did not refuse.
After all, since he said that Ling Qing would handle it, he had no reason to break his promise.
Except for the five precepts proclaimed by Chun, which must be observed, the rest will be treated according to the specific situation.
For example, if you tell a deer not to eat meat, doesn't that mean he took off his pants and farted?
Ordinary deer demons are used to eating grass, so they won’t eat it even if you give it to them?
Also, a wolf demon has not yet cultivated to the point of not eating or drinking. If you make it not eat, it will be purely harmful to life.
If this wolf demon takes the meat-vegetarian precept, he will naturally not be able to eat meat in the future.
If you don't uphold it, you can eat meat, but you can't kill for the sake of killing.
You can kill in order to fill your stomach, but any more is just desire, so be careful about it.
If you are full and just want to kill it and play with it, watching it struggle for fun, this is an evil thought.
If there are any offenders, punish them first. Those who are stubborn and unresponsive will be killed without mercy.
This talisman is formed from their thoughts, which means that they have made an oath and are willing to abide by these precepts, so that this talisman can be generated.
Therefore, the talisman is consistent with his thoughts, and he knows very well what thoughts he has.
There is no case where others have wronged him.
If he was really killed by the sword energy in Fu Nei, he must have had evil thoughts in his heart and put them into practice, breaking the precepts.
This is the path to self-destruction, which belongs to heaven.
With the introduction of canonical rules and regulations, the entire Tongtian Sect has become completely new.
But from time to time, there are those evil people who, after receiving the precepts, ignore them and are punished by the heavenly talismans.
This made the other demons tremble with fear, but they did not have the courage to resist, so they could only abide by the commandments honestly.
