——This chapter gave me a headache to write, so let’s just make do with it. There won’t be such boring content in the future. Writing this kind of thing is really difficult and not good-looking. The main reason is that I painfully used that question earlier and had to make an explanation. At the same time, it can be regarded as a distinction between the methods of Buddhism and Taoism. After all, you will still encounter Buddhism in other worlds in the future. Let’s lay the foundation now.

The news that Shi Xuan became Mo Yuan’s registered disciple soon spread throughout the Penglai sect. Many outer disciples bowed their heads and paused, regretting it. If only they had answered “I don’t know” at that time. Only Only a few disciples remembered that Shi Xuan entered the sect only after Mo Yuan took full responsibility for it. Although he had ignored him for two years, who could dare to say that there was nothing fishy in it.

And Shi Xuan was outside Mo Yuan's cave at this time, accompanying Mo Yuan to look at the beautiful scenery of distant mountain peaks shrouded in mist. When he just left Jie Tian Palace, Meng Li's complicated eyes made Shi Xuan's back pierce, but thinking of himself Now that he has a strong backer, things will be a lot easier. At least no one will send him to the Penglai faction for a mission.

"But I'm wondering why my master would accept you as his disciple?" Mo Yuan, who had his back to Shi Xuan, suddenly spoke softly, startling Shi Xuan who was a little unsure.

Shi Xuan replied respectfully: "Disciple does have this question." Judging from Mo Yuan's usual behavior, it is better to tell the truth in front of him.

"Do you still remember my teacher's question yesterday?" Mo Yuan looked at the distant mountains.

"Remember, Master, what you are asking is, 'If one day, your relatives, friends, Taoist companions, and masters block your path, will you kill them? Or not?' The disciple's answer is 'I don't know'." Is it true? Is that issue related?

Mo Yuan did not continue, but pointed to the distant mountains shrouded in mist: "Look, there are two roads on that mountain. Do you know which one can lead out of the mountain?"

"I don't know. We can only know by doing some on-the-spot investigation." Shi Xuan answered honestly.

Mo Yuan nodded: "This is the attitude of cultivation. Empty talk about the original mind and nature is just a tree without roots and water without a source. Only after being tempered in the world of mortals, facing various choices, and experiencing various Only then can you truly know your own nature.”

"But Master, is it better to kill or not to kill?" Shi Xuan asked all the outer disciples this question.

Mo Yuan turned his back and looked into the distance: "Seeing one's nature is merit, and equality is virtue. Under the way of heaven, all natures are equal, and there is no situation where anyone has no way out. From a small perspective, , among all your thoughts, there is no distinction between good, evil, and lust, there is only a difference in nature."

Seeing that Shi Xuan was puzzled, Mo Yuan did not answer directly, but took the topic to another side: "Look at this avenue, it is wide and good, surrounded by green trees, but that path has rugged rocks. , coiled around a dangerous cliff, and there are poisonous snakes and wild beasts on it. Which way is the way to survive?"

"I don't know." Shi Xuan could only answer like this.

Mo Yuan used a spell, and the landscape of the mountain peak appeared in front of him. The road ended after reaching a cliff. Although the trail was extremely dangerous, it continued beyond the mountain peak. It's a thoroughfare.

"Master, do you want to tell me that you should not give up on your path to Taoism because of difficulties and obstacles?" This is the only thing Shi Xuan can think of.

"It makes sense, but it's not what I want to tell you now. Look at the roads on this mountain peak." Mo Yuan pointed to another mountain peak, with one avenue and three trails on it. The specific situation is the same as before. .

Mo Yuan did not wait for Shi Xuan's answer, and waved again. The landscape of this mountain peak clearly appeared in front of him, but unlike before, the three paths were all dead ends, and only the main road was a thoroughfare.

"For different mountain peaks, the main road may be a dead end or a way to live, and the same is true for small roads. As for killing or not killing, for people with different natures, killing may be a way to live, and not killing may be a dead end. , it is also possible that killing is the way to death, and not killing is the way to survive."

Shi Xuan looked at Mo Yuan, wanting to know what he wanted to explain.

"The same is true in the cultivation of character. There are various paths for you to choose. For different people, this person's path may be a dead end, that person's path may be a survival path, and the reverse may also be true. You Until you finish the journey, you will never know whether your choice is good or bad. What should you use as the basis for your choice?" Mo Yuan glanced at Shi Xuan lightly.

Shi Xuan thought for a while: "According to your own heart and nature."

"This is what I want to explain. Everyone's original intention and nature are different. There are good and bad. But as long as you choose the path that suits your own nature, you can hope for the soul. There is no high level. The difference is lower." Mo Yuan concluded in a calm tone.

"In this many worlds, there are those who kill their fathers, mothers, brothers, brothers, wives, and children, kill all the people, achieve the path of killing, and finally create a world through creation. There are also people who give up the opportunity to become enlightened for the sake of their wives and children. After being reincarnated, they have made rapid progress and achieved enlightenment in a short period of time. Who can you say is higher and who is lower?" Mo Yuan pointed to two of the twenty-seven brightest stars in the starry sky, these two. Stars appear and disappear from time to time. When they disappear, they are not as bright as other ordinary stars. When they appear, they are brighter than the other twenty-two stars. There are five such stars in total.

Shi Xuan let out a breath: "As for the previous question, Master, what you mean is that there is no distinction between killing and not killing. It just depends on whether you can directly point to your own nature."

Mo Yuan nodded seemingly satisfied.

"But master, if I find out in the future that my nature is to kill my relatives, friends, Taoist companions and teachers to achieve greatness, will you follow the principle that equality is virtue and treat me equally?" Shi Xuan felt very conflicted.

Mo Yuan turned his head and took a deep look at Shi Xuan. He twitched the corner of his mouth and actually showed a smile: "Of course, before your cultivation level exceeds that of a master, I will kill you with a thunderbolt."

"Huh?!" This answer was beyond Shi Xuan's expectation, and he saw Mo Yuan's smile for the first time.

Mo Yuan's smile quickly faded, and he returned to his cold expression before: "What I just talked about was the way of heaven, but now this question is about the way of humanity. I haven't let others kill me to fulfill the way of others." A compassionate heart."

"But..." Shi Xuan was a little conflicted.

"The way of heaven is for one's own practice, and one does not regard good as beautiful, nor evil as ugly. As long as one can see one's true nature, one can see the way of the soul. However, the way of humanity is for others, and the same is true for others. Come and influence yourself. No master is willing to accept a disciple who is likely to kill him in the future, and no disciple will sincerely worship a master who may one day give his apprentice a magical weapon. All other human relationships are similar. At the same time, on the other hand, it is difficult for a monk who is extremely ruthless and plunders to reach the path of Yuanshen, because he is surrounded by enemies and shouts to kill, so the chance of death is much higher than that of other monks. "Mo. Yuan explained in detail the difference between the way of heaven and the way of humanity.

Seeing that Shi Xuan had some understanding, Mo Yuan added: "So those monks whose nature is to 'kill' will have a more difficult road than normal monks in the future, but those who can kill on this road, Those are people who should not be underestimated, and you can never be too careful after encountering them."

"But Master, why are the natures so different? Can natures be changed?" Shi Xuan felt that this way of making good things good and bad things turning bad was really scary.

Mo Yuan said calmly: "This is the basis of our Taoist practice. Everything in the universe, from the stars in the world to the ants in the dust, are all derived from the Tao, but they are contaminated by various acquired factors. Gradually deviating from the true nature, the process of cultivation is the process of getting rid of acquired contamination, returning to one's true nature, and approaching the 'Tao'. However, in this process, Buddhism talks about the nature of the mind, and physical cultivation is just a windproof and rain-proof skin for the cultivation of the mind. "Tao Sect is the world closest to the Tao, and then it can be combined with the cultivation of the mind. Of course, both of them must finally condense the Tao seeds and integrate with the body."

"'Tao' has no distinction between good and evil, but it has the reality of good and evil. Rain nourishing all things is good, causing floods is evil. In this way, the natures derived from Tao are naturally different."

"But since the 'Tao' itself has no distinction between good and evil, and its good and evil are essentially one and can be changed at will, then there is a way to change the nature. One is to use the precepts to slowly correct the nature and make it change towards The second is through reincarnation, accepting the contamination of goodness when the purest baby is, and thus transforming into goodness. Both of them cannot be successful without great perseverance. For example, in the latter case, there are senior monks who reincarnated ten times with the help of secret treasures. The merits of good people in the world have achieved good nature. But in the end, the ultimate goal of cultivating one's mind is to be able to change one's nature at will to correspond to different things, just like the Tao."

"I understand somewhat." Shi Xuan understood somewhat.

Mo Yuan nodded and said: "You only need to have a rough impression, but there is no need to think about it now. It will not be too late to consider these issues when you reach the level of Jindan. For the Golden Pill Avenue, it still has to fall below Be firm in yourself, stick to your original intention, and stay on the path, but this original intention refers to the choice of the path, not the original intention of your nature."

Shi Xuan said respectfully: "Disciple, please remember this."

Mo Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "I forgot to give you a Taoist name just now, but it all depends on your preference. I am a spirit in this generation, and my Taoist name is Lingyu, but it is It’s not commonly used. You are a **** in this generation, so remember to report it to Senior Brother Lingxing when the time comes.”

After saying that, Mo Yuan waved his hand: "You go down. Go to Tianya Haijiao Tower to choose a skill and a true ritual method. I see that you have chosen the wind skill during your out-of-body period. If you practice If you don’t feel hindered, the practice of "The True Interpretation of Heaven and Earth Liuhe Divine Wind" should be very suitable for you."

"Yes. But Master, you haven't answered the question yet. Why did you accept the disciple as your disciple? Is it really because you answered 'I don't know'?" Shi Xuan was very confused about this question.

"Well, at this stage, it is inappropriate to make any choice. If they all see their true nature at this stage, then what is the point of practicing as a teacher? Just worship them as a teacher." Mo Yuan said coldly. said.

Although he felt that Mo Yuan's explanation was far-fetched, Shi Xuan did not dare to ask any more questions. He respectfully said goodbye and set up his sword light to fly towards Tianshu Peak.
