Qi Jingzhi was speechless after hearing this. As much as Mr. Langya likes to recite poems, his master also likes to tell stories.
However, Helu's example is right in front of us. The legends and anecdotes of Xianyu Mountain really cannot be taken lightly.
Therefore, the young man did not struggle much, and soon responded half reluctantly and half expectantly: "Master, please speak quickly, I want to hear it!"
Feng Zixu's smile became brighter, her eyebrows were crooked, and she said leisurely: "When I was a young teacher, I just listened to the excitement. The elders who told this anecdote also omitted many details. Now that I think about it again, this matter should be It happened in the infinite wilderness."
"According to the elder's account, he and his friends once indulged in wild ambitions and explored mysteries. Suddenly one day, the two of them strayed into an unknown and strange mountain. The mountains were so deep that they gradually lost their way back. "
"Both of them are extraordinary people. They did not panic. Instead, they walked around in the mountains with great interest. Suddenly they heard thunderous snoring in the grass. They immediately pushed aside the blades of grass and saw a person. A strange man dressed in white robes and surrounded by moonlight is sleeping soundly."
"After repeated calls from the two seniors, the strange man woke up slowly. He claimed to be a craftsman from Guanghan Qingxu Mansion, specializing in repairing and grinding the moon wheel in the sky. After working on duty, he was very tired, so he found a secluded place to take a rest. .”
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Repair and grind the moon wheel? Master, do you want to say that that strange man can even repair the bright moon, let alone this disciple's mirror?"
Feng Zixu nodded and shook his head: "Even if there really is a so-called moon cultivator in the Wuji Wilderness, we won't be able to find it for a while. However, through this anecdote, we may be able to get a glimpse of some secrets about Yuehua."
"The moon cultivator once said that although the bright moon looks flat and smooth, it is actually shaped like a huge projectile, which is made by absorbing the essence of the seven treasures. As it grows, it becomes uneven and full of ravines. Once illuminated by the sun, shadows will appear in the middle of the moon, and the white jade will become flawless and obstruct the view."
"This requires someone to polish and repair it all the time, and there are 82,000 households in Guanghan Qingxu Mansion for craftsmen who do this kind of business. In order to prove that what he said is true, the moon repairer took out axes, chisels, etc. He brought the tools to show, and also took out two bags of jade rice that also exuded moonlight and asked the two seniors to share it, saying that although they would not live forever after eating it, they would be free from illness and would not be affected by diseases."
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but nodded: "It is indeed a strange news! Master once mentioned the Ten Demons of Taoism. If my disciple remembers it correctly, this disease should be ranked eighth?"
Feng Zixu nodded: "According to the "Lingbao Wumeiren Sutra", the disease is caused by the disease that disturbs the spirit. The monks have erroneous thoughts, disorderly food and drink, do not avoid cold and heat, do not distinguish between drought and wetness, and go against the natural phenomena of the sky. According to this principle, it is inevitable that the inner Qi will be in harmony and the Yin and Yang will be imbalanced, resulting in multiple diseases, lingering lingering and damage to the cultivation level. This is the disease that blocks the path of the monks and tests them."
"You are currently eating Xia Qi, so you should pay special attention to this."
Qi Jingzhi quickly nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Master just mentioned the secret about the moon, which should be the essence of the seven treasures that combine to form the moon wheel, but I don't know if the moon cultivator ever mentioned that these seven treasures are all What?"
"This has never happened before..."
However, Feng Zixu shook his head, and the awkward expression of reluctance from before suddenly appeared on his face: "I have to mention the monks in Dayue Yuanguang Temple and Cangyue Temple. They use gold, silver, colored glaze, Coral, amber, clam, and agate are regarded as the seven treasures, and it is not without reason."
Qi Jingzhi was startled when he heard the words, and then smiled bitterly and said: "The names of these two Buddhist holy places have the word "moon" in them, and they also happen to have the saying of the seven treasures. I guess they are inseparable. Hey, it seems like, That bright moon in the sky is really worth a lot of money!"
"Just be content! After all, these seven things can be found in the mortal world. Even if you want to extract the essence, the quantity must be extremely amazing. Just accumulate slowly."
Feng Zixu glared at her disciple and said angrily: "Unless you want to imitate that arrogant little girl from the Mu family and insist on finding some undiscovered treasure, then your success will be in vain. "
Qi Jingzhi had no choice but to accept the instruction honestly, but inexplicably he thought of Qian Xiaoren, who loved money as much as his life. However, he loved money for the sake of spiritual practice, and he only loved copper coins. How could he love all gold, silver and jewelry like himself?
Feng Zixu saw the sad look on his disciple's face and couldn't help but sneer: "The wool comes from the sheep. From now on, you will encounter countless monsters and monsters when you hang out in Gouchen Courtyard of Qi State. I will leave them all to you." This mirror is for refining. If the gold and silver monsters are there, keep them for yourself, and the rest can be exchanged with others, and someone will naturally offer you a lot of gold, silver, pearls and jade."
Qi Jingzhi raised his hand to hold the small bronze mirror in his hand, his brows relaxed and then furrowed: "Then let's wait until the disciple's mind manifests and communicates with the mirror before making any decisions. At least we must understand the spirituality of the creatures it refines. How it ends will determine how to use it in the future.”
"Um?"
Feng Zixu thought for a moment and understood: "Do you think it would be too harmful to the world if the mirror swallowed up the spirits of those demons and ghosts, leaving them without an afterlife?"
When he said this, the Xuandu Guanzhu's eyes were bright and unstoppable: "Over the past few days, I have been deliberately polishing your temperament and working hard to resolve your stubborn and pedantic thoughts and behavior."
"Since we happen to be talking about these things at this moment, we masters and disciples might as well have a good discussion about the laws of heaven and humanity, and argue about the right and wrong of good and evil. Otherwise, if you continue to screw around like this, sooner or later, inner demons will breed and you will be defeated. He will be burned to death by the fire of his heart!"
Qi Jingzhi was startled when he heard the words, then nodded and said: "Then I will use the master's question to try."
"In the past, the small bronze mirror was mostly done by itself, and the people who refined it were all cruel people. The disciple relied on it to help a lot, and he himself was a person with little knowledge, so he didn't think much about the possibility of swallowing the spirituality of living beings. think."
"But now that we know that reincarnation is indeed a thing, we have to be more cautious. If we encounter a cruel and unscrupulous demon, that's it. We can't do it just for selfish reasons..."
Before he finished speaking, Feng Zixu showed a look of disapproval on his face, waved his hand and interrupted: "Qi Jingzhi, your biggest problem is that you think too much. You are just a little monk in the second realm. You are just like an ant, how could it be your turn to be compassionate and merciful?"
"Heaven and earth are a great furnace, in which all things and spirits are refined. If you can endure it, you will live. If you cannot survive, you will die. How can there be so many good and evil, right and wrong?"
"You fight with people, no matter what the reason is, no matter who is right or wrong. In short, you kill the other person, destroy the soul, and only the last bit of spirituality is left. At this time, you suddenly have compassion. Isn't it too much? hypocritical?"
"You have also seen the Monument of Freeing the Crane. This kind of thing is not unique to our Xianyu Mountain. Do you think there are more monks in this world who are merciful and soft-hearted and let the tiger go back to the mountain while fighting for life and death, or are there more who kill them all and leave no consequences? ?”
"Never mind these things, why do you think you are qualified to decide which living beings only deserve to die in this life, and which living beings can destroy their spirituality and completely wipe out the next life?"
Qi Jingzhi opened his mouth, all kinds of past experiences flashed through his mind, and he didn't know how to refute for a moment. After all, he really didn't have the qualifications.
At the same time, he suddenly realized another side of the inheritance of Xianyu Mountain, which was completely different from the sage way he learned from Master Meng.
"Since my teacher has just talked about the way of heaven, let's talk about the way of man next."
Feng Zixu didn't give the young man a chance to speak, and continued on his own: "Master knows that you are of Jiang clan blood, and you have lived in Jiang Fengqi Country since you were a child. I am afraid you have heard the words of so-called saints. However, even if The words of a saint are just the words of a family. You must not disbelieve them, but you cannot believe them all."
"Especially the way that the countries under the Biluo Palace consecrate ghosts and gods and weigh their virtues. The so-called karma and karma, no matter what they are called, are just rhetoric used to fool the dead. In the final analysis, they are still for the purpose of eradicating The turbid air and dirt between heaven and earth are just to prevent yin and yang from being disordered and the furnace overturning."
"This is the truth of this system. As for the so-called rewards of good and punishment of evil, and even helping those karma-ridden dead souls to reincarnate, it is just incidental."
"Of course the sages have compassion, but at the same time they also have interests to consider. Whether it is court laws or underworld regulations, they are indeed of great benefit to establishing humane legal principles, but for most monks, they are shackles and cages. Unless it is an inheritance like that of Biluo Palace, which pays attention to establishing a heart for the world, otherwise, being too rigid in this will only be harmful rather than beneficial."
"Our sect's Hong Lu Ding Huo Sword Intent and Lu Lu's Yang Adjusting Technique both emphasize the principles of heaven and humanity. If any one of them is missing, it will inevitably be biased and untrue. Of course, this is just our fairy. The words of Yushan’s family..."
Qi Jingzhi's heart palpitated when he heard it, and his eyes were blazing with fire: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth? Dare I ask Master, whose heart is this heart?"
Feng Zixu couldn't help but frown slightly when she saw her disciple's reaction, but she still replied: "According to Biluo Palace's own words, it is the human heart that must be established."
"It's just that there are big thieves in this world who kill innocent people every day, prey on other people's flesh, are violent and unruly, and practice lawlessness. There are also villains in this world who behave badly, violate taboos, and keep track of flies and dogs, only to drive them away and return."
"The big thief and the villain are both human beings. The heart established for heaven and earth cannot be the heart of the big thief or the heart of the villain. It is naturally the heart of the Flame Emperor, the heart of the Three Saint Kings, and the hearts of the Biluo Saints."
"However, even these sages will inevitably have likes and dislikes in their hearts. If they have likes and dislikes in their hearts, they will be biased, and there will never be true fairness."
Qi Jingzhi nodded, his eyes even more thoughtful.
At the beginning, he felt that Chen Er should not be devoured spiritually by Lu Yunzi. He believed that he would pay his debts in this life, and he would always be innocent in the next life. This was based on his own likes and dislikes, and he used his own heart to establish a heart for the world.
Later, he refuted Shen Ruhai in the hall of the Yin Division in Songling County, based on the dossier handed over by the old city god, and based on the heart of a sage, he established the heart of heaven and earth.
It seems that... none of them are wrong, and none of them can be impartial and impartial.
Unknowingly, the fire in Qi Jingzhi's heart burned brightly, and the dingy fire in his heart burned the green-feathered crane with angry eyes into a big fireball.
Seeing his disciple's eyes turned red and wisps of green smoke coming out of his seven orifices, Feng Zixu was well prepared and immediately pointed at the young man's eyebrows and shouted: "Idiot, you haven't woken up yet!"
This light fell into Qi Jingzhi's "Dancing Crane Picture" and immediately turned into a towering pine tree, and a burst of singing echoed in it. It was not from Feng Zixu's mouth, but from a heroic old man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life. Laughing at the beat.
Don't you see, where can I find fragrant grass in the cold weather of the year?
Missing again, the pine tree is green and green again.
Heaven and earth have no intention, and all things value their true nature.
It goes directly to the mountains and rivers, and its beauty is unparalleled.
We have experienced ice and frost for thousands of years.
The sky tower is high and strong, standing apart from the spring breeze and blue clouds.
Qi Jingzhi still didn't come back to his senses, but he murmured to himself: "The heaven and the earth have no intention, how do all things value their truth?"
Immediately afterwards, he repeated again, but his tone was different from before: "Heaven and earth have no intention, and all things value their truth!"
The next moment, flames spurted out from the boy's seven orifices at the same time, wrapping his entire body.
The raging fire did not ignite anything. Qi Jingzhi seemed unaware from the beginning to the end, but his eyes suddenly regained their sparkle: "Master, what I asked for before was to be sincere and upright, to respect the heavenly ancestor, to act in an orderly manner, and to respect the ancestor." No shame! This is definitely not a mistake!"
"What you should do is what you are willing to do, and what you do is what you wish for! The disciple knows and does the same thing. Even if there are some dogmas and the hands and feet are bound by rules and regulations, it is never wrong!"
"Now my disciple has inherited the heart candle Dinghuo of my Xianyu Xuandu lineage. With one heart candle shining, it has its own light, and can see all sinister thoughts!"
"From now on, my disciple should break free from the prison and do as he pleases. As for the laws of nature and human principles, as well as good and evil, right and wrong..."
"This heart is so bright, what else can I say!"
With a bang, the "Dancing Crane Picture" in Qi Jingzhi's heart suddenly turned into a brilliant cassock, with green and red colors intertwined into a coherent pattern, which was quite similar to Feng Zixu's graceful painting.
The cassock fell down and was draped on the shoulders of a young man.
This young man stood in the void in Qi Jingzhi's heart. His appearance was very similar to his, but there were all kinds of strange features about him.
His eyes were like condensed flames, illuminated by a bright candle.
A bright moon hung behind his head, blooming with brilliant light.
There is a collar hanging around his neck, which is made of two small snakes intertwined. One has red skin and a body that burns like wood and sun fire. The other has ax-shaped scales, which are bright green and reveal a sharp edge.
There was a green dragon wrapped around his waist. Its scales were as rough as tree bark, and its entire body exuded dense water vapor.
There was a pair of gorgeous and cold iron wings on his back, which were dazzling and cold to the bone.
On his feet he wore a pair of ordinary straw sandals, the soles of the shoes were stained with mud and the shoes were stained with blood.
There was a young tiger lying at his feet, looking up at the young man with a cunning look on his face.
The young man lowered his head, looked at his straw sandals carefully, and suddenly grinned.
As a result, all the strange things about him and even around him gradually disappeared, leaving only an ordinary young man in the mountains wearing commoners and straw sandals.
At the same time, the flame outside Qi Jingzhi suddenly extinguished.
He raised his head and smiled casually at Feng Zixu: "Master, my disciple... we have reached an agreement!"
