The people had dispersed, and the hall was empty. Only Master Shao Guang sat there and meditated silently.
Seeing the night getting darker, a figure flashed at the door and Wu Jie walked in.
"Master, Master, my disciple still doesn't understand. Please teach me, Master."
Master Shaoguang was not surprised, but smiled slightly: "I know you will definitely come, if you don't come, it won't be you.
Wu Jie bowed in salute, his voice full of confusion: "Disciple went back and thought about it for a long time, and roughly sorted out the context of this matter. I have been so popular in the past few years, which has made some people in Baidi Pavilion feel uncomfortable.
Coupled with the differences between the Qingyang and Baidi factions on many issues, they pointed their finger at me and tried to suppress me... Maybe this is the root of everything?"
Master Shaoguang smiled and said gently: "People in the righteous way are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires. The honor of Baidi Pavilion is earned by their countless disciples with their lives. 'Eradicate evil and do not retreat.' Behind these four words, there is a real truth
Too much blood was shed. Maybe they have no intention of you
See, but this honor itself means that they should be at the forefront of fighting against evil. When they see you standing in front of them, many people feel that the honor earned by bloodshed and sacrifice for generations has been easily squandered by you.
It’s inevitable that I’ll be a little unhappy after it’s been removed.”
"So, am I being too pushy?"
"To fight against evil heretics, everyone should do their best. There is no need to talk about being in the limelight." Master Shaoguang shook his head, "This is not your fault, it is just the inevitable result of the growth and decline of the Qingyang and Baidi factions. Master Yan also knows this very well.
A little bit? With you in our Qingyang Temple, sooner or later we will become the leader of the righteous path. Even if neither of us means that, the fact is that Baidi Pavilion will be suppressed by us for a long time... What happened this time was accidental, but
It’s also inevitable.”
Wu Jie was silent for a moment, sighed, and asked again: "The key reason why this matter is such a big deal is that Lin Xiao has a cruel mouth and He Zhong has a mean mouth. If the two sides had not fought because of the dispute over words, there would not have been such a quarrel.
So big, right?”
"...There are countless grievances and grudges in the world that are all caused by a moment of pleasure." Master Shaoguang thought of Lin Xiao's words during the day and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Wu Jie, although your disciple has performed well in the journey of cultivating Taoism,
But when it comes to dealing with people, he is really lacking.
Wu Jie looked ashamed: "If you are not strict in teaching, you are a lazy teacher. All along, I have only focused on teaching them how to practice Taoism, and I have really neglected to teach them how to behave."
"I can't blame you. How old are you? You are busy most of the time. It is not easy to teach them like this." Master Shaoguang shook his head and sighed, "How do you plan to deal with him?"
"I plan to seal his cultivation and let him live in the lower class society for a period of time as a mortal to experience all kinds of human emotions."
"Li Xiaoyao was so proud when he first entered the profession. Later, Junior Brother Huntian banned his cultivation and asked him to work as a waiter in the human world for ten years. But after he came back, he became elegant and restrained, as if he was in a sheath.
The sword in it is truly a material that can be made."
"Disciple understands, then I will also use this method."
Master Shaoguang nodded and smiled slightly: "You've been talking for a long time, but the real question hasn't been raised yet, right?"
Wu Jie also smiled: "That's right. In this matter, the disciple is most puzzled by the attitude of Master Jiankong. As the founder of Huandan, he is already a person who can't break his heart. Logically, he should not follow He Zhong and others to fool around.
.What’s more, he is an eminent Buddhist monk. When he saw the Qingyang and Baidi factions were at odds with each other, it was too late to persuade them with good words, so how could he add fuel to the flames?"
"What's even more unbelievable is that when the disciple came to ask for an explanation, he turned out to be stern and used his status and cultivation level to suppress others. But after finding that he couldn't suppress the disciple, he would rather die than bow his head.
To put it mildly, I just
Is it too much to ask them to release Lin Xiao and just apologize for hitting too hard? The disciples fought in a bet, and although the consequences were serious, no one was killed in the end, and it was not necessary to ask him to repay the kindness of Master Dan.
Life is worth it."
Wu Jie became more and more confused as he spoke, and his voice couldn't help but get a little louder.
He really didn't understand the idea of Master Jiankong, which could be explained in just a few words. As Master Jiankong, even if he just sighed and said, "Children are acting out of proportion,"
That's enough, but he acted arrogant at the front and respectful at the back. Moreover, he was too arrogant at the front, and it was even more unbelievable that he used his life to apologize later.
How can this be the Patriarch of Huandan who has broken through the laws of the world and reached the end of the world? This is a fucking lunatic. Although Old Man Tianyan is crazy, he is still logical at least. How can this Master Jiankong do things without even a trace of the most basic logic?
None
He discussed it several times with Du Ruo, Jasmine and Du Xin from the World of Heavenly Books. Even if they put their heads together, they still couldn't understand Master Jiankong's thoughts. Jasmine's statement was very simple. The old monk must be crazy, but Wu Jie felt that Tangtang was too
The abbot of Huachanyuan should not have gone crazy for no reason.
Master Shaoguang was silent for a while and said slowly: "I don't understand what Master Jiankong thinks. But since you have doubts, why don't you ask him yourself?"
"...Isn't he already on death row?"
Master Shaoguang shook his head and showed a mysterious smile: "He should not have fully entered samadhi yet. You can ask him face to face... I remember that the retreat room of Taihua Zen Temple should be in the southwest corner, a small gray stone house.
Very easy to identify.”
Wu Jie looked at the Master with some confusion. It could be seen that the Master did know something, but he refused to explain it.
The master didn't say anything, so he had no way to ask, so he had to set out full of doubts and came to Taihua Zen Temple again.
Different from last time, this time he came quietly without alerting anyone.
Taihua Zen Temple is an extremely majestic and solemn temple, covering a large area. There may be hundreds of halls and rooms in total. Wu Jie glanced around and easily found the small gray stone house located in the southwest corner.
This stone house is located alone among the trees, lonely and cold. Not only is the whole house very simple, it is not even equipped with any defensive formations, it is so crude that it is embarrassing.
Wu Jie stood outside the house and hesitated for a moment, then turned into flames and quietly sneaked into the stone house.
The stone house was about one foot square, without any furniture, only two futons on the ground. Master Jiankong was sitting cross-legged on a futon, looking at him calmly and peacefully.
"As expected, you came anyway."
Master Jiankong at this moment is completely different from the last time he saw him. He is no longer solemn, stern or decadent, but he exudes a sincere calm and ethereal, which makes people calm down.
"He's really not crazy," Du Ruo shouted, "Look, there's no way he's even remotely crazy."
Du Xin also nodded slightly: "He does look like a great monk now."
Jasmine curled her lips and muttered: "It's so boring. It would be great if I were really crazy."
Wu Jie bowed, sat on another futon, and looked at Master Jiankong: "Master, I have a question to ask."
"Since you are here, even if you don't ask, I will tell you everything exactly."
"Then please make it clear, Master," Wu Jie said seriously, "I really don't understand what you are doing... To be honest, I even thought you were crazy before."
Master Jiankong smiled slightly: "Donor Wu, do you know the Sword Abandoner?"
"This junior is fortunate enough to have paid a visit to Senior Qi and received some guidance from him. I have benefited a lot from him."
"Then do you know that when the Sword Abandoner first took up the sword in the world, more people from the righteous path died under his sword than people from the evil sect?"
Wu Jie was stunned and his eyes widened.
This is impossible! The Abandoned Swordsman is the number one swordsman of the righteous path. How could he kill more people from the righteous path than those from the evil sect?
"At that time, he was very sharp, and he often attacked people out of anger. With his ability, his opponents were naturally either dead or injured. Most people in the evil sect were cold and cold, and they died when they died. Very few people dared to come to him for help. Revenge. But most people in the righteous path value friendship. If their relatives and friends died under his sword, even if they knew they were defeated, they would come to him for revenge... In just a few years, he killed hundreds of Lian Gang Feixian alone. At that time, I was still a young monk who had just entered Taoism. I often heard that a certain hero had died at the hands of a mad swordsman, and I still shudder when I recall it."
Master Jiankong sighed, "The Baidi Pavilion is the worst. All the elite disciples of that generation died in the life-and-death duel with him, so that now there is no one to take the second and third levels of Huandan. The noble sect is also in trouble. If it weren't for the leader Zhang, Later, strict orders were issued, and even He Zhenshi and Xu Shaoguang were bound to challenge him for a duel.
Wu Jie was shocked, he could not have imagined that such a thing had happened back then.
"Seeing that this situation continues, I am afraid that the blood of those who follow my righteous path will be shed by his sword first. After discussion with several senior sages, they found him and hoped to persuade him."
"Did they succeed?"
"Of course it's a failure. A swordsman with a heart as steely as steel, he doesn't even care about his own life and death, so how can he care about the life and death of others?"
Wu Jie was silent for a while and asked in a low voice: "Does it mean that in the end, all the factions will be afraid of being killed by him, and no one will dare to seek revenge from him again?"
"No." Master Jiankong said calmly, "Those great sages had already anticipated this situation, so they took him to see the suffering of the people, rescued people in front of him, and then committed suicide."
"Ah?" Wu Jie almost jumped up. He didn't expect those Buddhist monks to use such a drastic method.
"Swinging a sword is an easy thing for the Sword Abandoner. But every time he kills a person on the right path, many people who could have been helped lose the chance of being rescued and die in pain and despair. "Master Jiankong said slowly, and his voice contained a compassionate meaning that made people feel sad from the bottom of his heart. It was compassion for all living beings.
"The Sword Abandoner didn't expect the great masters to do this. He respects these great masters and really doesn't want them to die in vain. But even he can only kill people and can't stop others from dying. ."
"Six great virtues died before and after, and the swordsman who abandoned the sword finally repented and decided not to kill people because of his will. From then on, he was no longer a frightening sword madman, but became a mainstay of the righteous path.
Unparalleled Sword God."
After Master Jiankong finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Wu Jie: "Brother Du'e once mentioned the origin of the benefactor to me. Since then, I have been worried...especially when the Qingyang and Baidi factions have
The situation of the enemy has made me even more uneasy, fearing that the nightmare from hundreds of years ago will happen again.
"I'm not that powerful..."
"The benefactor, alone, killed the two founders of the Demon Sect and severely damaged the black robe of the inner demon. At your age, the abandoned sword disciple is not as good as you..."
Wu Jie fell silent.
"Although the donor is a man of the right path, he is young and energetic. In the Baidi Pavilion, he injured Master Qingyan with one punch; later he set up the Demon Subduing Sect. Every time you fight alone, you would rather take risks than
He is willing to seek help from fellow students, which shows that he is an arrogant person at heart. The more arrogant a person is, the easier it is for him to go astray."
Wu Jie smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect that he was such a dangerous person in the eyes of Master Jiankong.
"I thought about it a lot, but I really couldn't think of any good solution, so I had to shamelessly learn from the great virtues of my predecessors." Master Jiankong said with a wry smile, "I'm far behind them. I can't do anything at all, which will affect your two lives.
This disciple was hurt and his conscience is really uneasy."
Wu Jie shook his head repeatedly, but didn't know what to say.
"Fortunately, Lin Xiao has not damaged his roots. He is a tree demon and has a long life. It is not difficult to come back from cultivation. And Qiao Feng...if he is just one person, I can still think of a way." Master Jiankong said.
As he stood, his face suddenly began to turn gray, and there was an unsettling aura of death on his body.
"Master" Wu Jie was shocked and wanted to stop him, but Master Jiankong stopped him with Buddha's light, preventing him from getting close.
"Everything must have a beginning and an end." Master Jiankong smiled slightly, "Donor Wu, no matter what kind of person you were in your previous life, I only regard you as Wu Jie of Qingyang Temple. If you have any disputes with people in the righteous way in the future,
If I can think of my father a little bit, I can rest in peace."
"You are the son of the human world, come up from the throne of the sky. Please wipe the sword in your heart and don't let it be stained with dust." Master Jiankong slowly closed his eyes, "A relic can heal Qiao Feng. In this life, I finally have no
It leaves me with so much regret.”
"Donor Wu, I cherish you so much"
Before he finished speaking, the Buddha's light flowed back and turned into a ball of golden light. In the golden light, Master Kong's body turned into dust, and only a golden relic flew up and landed in front of Wu Jie.
