In the Wuyi Mountains, in the col where Lin Heng once lived, he looked down at Jin Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground in fear, with an ugly face, and snorted angrily. Jin Cheng shivered in fright, with a forced smile on his face.
Jin Cheng didn't think Lin Heng's arrival was a big deal at first. He also planned to introduce his disciple to Lin Heng. But when he saw Lin Heng's livid face, he knew that the master was angry.
And he was angry with himself.
Jin Cheng didn't know why, so he followed Lin Heng all the way to the mountain col. When he saw Lin Heng was silent, Jin Cheng could only kneel down and worship there without daring to move. To this day, he still doesn't know what he did wrong.
.
After calming down the anger in his heart, Lin Heng stopped looking at Jincheng, closed his eyes slightly, and started meditating there, adjusting his breath, without caring about Jincheng. Without Lin Heng's permission, Jincheng could only kneel down and worship there, not daring to
Take action.
He quietly glanced at Lin Heng and knew that the master was really angry, but he was really baffled. In order to understand his fault, Jin Cheng had to calm down and think back to everything he had done since he came out of the mountain to see where he was different from Lin Heng.
Got it.
No monk is a fool. Slowly, he also realized that something was wrong with him. In his mind, his many years of memories did not seem wrong to him. But comparing Lin Heng's actions with his own,
But I also found that there were many differences between the two. These differences were probably the reason why Lin Heng was angry.
But why is this so?
Jin Cheng was a little confused.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" Lin Heng asked when Jincheng's expression changed.
Jin Cheng nodded and said: "The way my disciple preaches is different from that of my teacher..."
"Hmph!" Lin Heng directly interrupted Jin Cheng, snorted coldly, and said, "You still don't understand."
Jin Cheng took a deep breath and bowed seriously: "Master, please speak clearly!"
Shaking his head, Lin Heng sighed softly. Although his disciple had extraordinary cultivation, he obviously didn't have enough experience. Of course, it can't be said that he didn't have enough experience. At this time, he was just like himself back then, he already had enough experience.
After training, the only difference is that he does not have that much knowledge, and does not know some of the unspoken rules of the ancient times, so besides practicing, he uses more magical powers and spells to enhance his strength.
Although these magical powers and techniques are good, they are just trivial compared with others. Perhaps, when one reaches the cultivation level of Daluo like Jincheng, it is nothing to practice these. But for those who have not studied Taoism for a long time and have not cultivated enough, it is still
Learning the principles of heaven is the right path, and merit and luck are auxiliary. As for magical powers and magic, they are not that important. Only one or two means of self-defense are enough, and immersing yourself in them will only make you go astray.
road.
Didn’t the Huashan sect, which is proud of the world, have internal strife because of this, causing a big sect to turn into a second-rate sect?
When watching Xiaoao, everyone thinks that both can be positive, or that they complement each other. But in Lin Heng's view, this statement is absolutely wrong. In Yue Buqun's words, it means that without the master, he has entered the world.
evil ways.
For monks to practice, they need to have a main path, which is the supreme principle of heaven. Because this is an existence that you cannot avoid. Although magical powers and techniques are good, you cannot be immersed in them, otherwise you will make yourself neglect yourself. Then you will create
When some messy things happen, no wonder others call you a devil and a heretic.
In Lin Heng's eyes, swords and qi should be prioritized. However, unlike Tao, you can choose sword or qi, but one must be the main one and the other auxiliary. To put it bluntly, it means to maximize your own characteristics and
Make up for your own shortcomings. Isn't this the way of a master?
Cultivation of the way of heaven is different from swords and qi. It is more orthodox. To put it bluntly, the principle of the way of heaven is orthodox. You have no choice. As for magical powers and spells, yes, they can benefit your practice during practice.
, but this gain also brings disaster, that is, it is easy to neglect one's own orthodox cultivation, just like the Tongtian Jie Jiao.
Lin Heng couldn't distinguish these things very clearly before, but after experiencing so many things and seeing the nature of the world clearly, he understood.
What about Jin Cheng? No. Because he lacks the understanding of a superior person. This also prevents him from seeing himself and cultivation more clearly. Just like now, he obviously adds his own cultivation when he preaches, which naturally
Influenced others and caused them to deviate from the right path.
"Jin Cheng, when my teacher preached to you, what did he talk about?" Lin Heng asked Jin Cheng. Jin Cheng was stunned and immediately replied: "What my teacher taught is also the great way of heaven and earth, and the ultimate principle in the world." What he said.
He was very firm, but his expression was a bit disapproving. It could be seen that there were some problems with his cultivation now.
Lin Heng shook his head and said in a rather stern tone: "You think what I teach is useless? Humph! Then how do you explain your current cultivation level? Every time you listen to a sermon, although you don't understand much, your cultivation level
Realm progress is very fast. Why is this, have you never thought about it? "
"This..." Jin Cheng's face was full of astonishment, and he couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he listened to the sermon. Yes, when he first listened to the sermon, he didn't understand much, or even very little, and his mind was full of doubts. But
, every time he understands something, his cultivation will increase by one point. This speed is much faster than his own cultivation. Does this mean that these things are useless?
"Teacher, disciple, disciple..." Jin Cheng's face was full of shame, but he was speechless intermittently.
Looking at Jin Cheng at this time, Lin Heng knew that he had a clear understanding in his heart, and said: "You should understand. Yes, magical powers and spells can indeed quickly increase one's combat power. But for us to practice Taoism, the right path lies in
Understanding the way of heaven, if you don’t understand the way of heaven, no matter how many magical powers you know, what’s the use of magic? Let’s talk about you. You became my disciple, and I didn’t teach you my magical powers. I will only tell you when you ask. But, you
Do you know very few magical powers and spells? Tell me, where do these magical powers and spells come from? Aren't they the ones you have enlightened from the supreme principles of heaven? This enlightenment is your progress."
Having said this, Lin Heng paused for a moment and asked Jin Cheng to think carefully. He also showed a thoughtful expression, and slowly gained an expression of understanding. Seeing this, Lin Heng secretly nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Now, you teach those human races,
If you don't teach the great ways of heaven and earth, but teach magical powers and techniques, isn't this harming them? They have these magical powers and techniques, but they don't understand the principles of heaven and earth. How can they benefit heaven and earth?"
"Master, this disciple is wrong!" Jin Cheng bowed respectfully to Lin Heng and said sincerely.
"Okay, okay, okay." Lin Heng laughed, pushed Jin Cheng up with his hand, and said, "It's good if you understand. It's not too late to make up for it. When you teach them in the future, don't teach them magical powers.
What’s more, you need to teach them the principles of heaven and earth. If you don’t understand, you can do it yourself, work with them, and understand the principles of heaven and earth through your work.”
"yes!"
Seeing Jin Cheng wake up, Lin Heng was also happy, and the anger in his chest had long disappeared. Strike while the iron is hot, Lin Heng said again: "Now that we have talked about this today, some rules will be established here. In the past, there were only you and me in the door.
There are three masters and disciples. You can accept your disciples later. Once the number of people increases, some troubles will inevitably occur. At this time, it is better to set up the sect rules and have a standard."
Having said that, Lin Heng thought of those so-called sect rules in later generations. Those things were of little use to the prehistoric world, but they also gave Lin Heng a framework. Soon, he said: "The first rule is to benefit the world and punish
Unfilial. Anyone who enters our sect should do so with the goal of benefiting heaven and earth. Our practice is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cause harm to heaven and earth. If we do not benefit heaven and earth, how can we stand between heaven and earth?"
"The second article is that those who practice evil must do good deeds. We monks cannot practice alone behind closed doors. Although we can do things as we please, we must not break the rules of heaven and earth and do anything wrong. When you go out to practice and practice, since you are doing something, you must go there
If you work in a good place and see good things, you should also actively participate in them, so as not to let your experience in this world go to waste."
"Article 3: Cultivate on the right path and uphold your mind as the Tao. Your experience this time has reminded me. From now on, when I teach under my disciples, my teachings should be based on the principles of heaven and earth. We should not focus on magical powers. Of course.
, my disciples must not be without the method of protecting themselves. From now on, my disciples can choose three of the magical powers from among them to practice, but they cannot teach others too much. If someone realizes the magical powers on his own, just follow him."
"Article 4: Fellow sects love each other and help each other. As members of the same sect, you don't have to have deep feelings, but you can't frame each other. This is a big taboo. If you are discovered by the master, you will definitely get rid of it with your own hands."
"These four points are what I have temporarily thought of. You must follow them in one piece. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Jin Cheng saluted respectfully. Lin Heng nodded, and immediately used the blood as a guide and the mountain as the body to refine a ring ruler treasure. He personally carved these four rules and handed them to Jincheng.
"You are the eldest disciple of my sect. From now on, you will be in charge of the rules in the sect. At the same time, these rules must also inspire you, and you must not violate yourself."
On this day, Lin Heng set down the rules of his Hongta Mountain lineage and passed down the treasure of punishment. This treasure hits the body and hurts the soul. If it hits the living being, although there is no serious harm, it will be extremely painful, which is just right.
Lin Heng’s intention to punish.
After Lin Heng experienced what happened to Jincheng, he was no longer at ease with Yue'e. He came to Wuyi Mountain and headed to Yuehua Mountain within a few days. He wanted to see if his second disciple would also commit such a crime.
