"You said this was your fate, but isn't that a sign of your powerlessness? You are like an ant in the eyes of the villain. When the villain killed you, he not only felt no guilt in his heart, but your weakness made him stronger.
You are so cowardly that you harm more people. From this point of view, you can be said to be aiding the evildoer." He Xie said with a smile.
Duan Yu was stunned, then frowned, thoughtfully.
He Xie's words left him unable to refute for a moment.
"I think Brother Duan is also a well-educated person. You should know the dark history of the people who traveled south to the south and the five barbarians who invaded China." He Xie looked at Duan Yu deeply, "Just because Sima was weak and could be bullied, the barbarians relied on force to invade, and the people of the Central Plains
They all eat each other, bones are everywhere in the fields, there is no smoke for thousands of miles, and there are no people in China who have no crowns. Dare I ask Brother Duan, do the innocent people who died in the war deserve this?"
"This..." Duan Yu was shocked and his expression changed greatly.
"If the Han people had strengthened themselves at that time, had a clear military and political system, and everyone had defended our country's territory with arms, the tens of millions of people who died tragically would not have had to suffer this fate." He Xie continued, "Throughout the history books, those who suffered misfortune because of their weakness
Are there not enough examples?"
"This, I..." Duan Yu felt sweat on his forehead and felt confused for a moment. His father advised him to practice martial arts, but he never told him this kind of truth.
"Just like the Zen sect, eminent monks are all compassionate and aspire to save all sentient beings." He Xie said with a smile, "But Brother Duan has looked at this world, is there any temple in the world where the monks do not practice martial arts? Brother Duan, have you ever wondered?
But, what’s the reason for this?”
Duan Yu was a little confused. Of course he knew that Zen sect had always paid equal attention to Buddhism and martial arts, but he always felt that the main purpose of masters practicing martial arts was to strengthen their bodies.
But now he began to feel vaguely that there might be more to it than that.
"Although the Zen sect teaches compassion to save the world, the mortal world is dirty, and I, the Buddha, also have the wrath of thunder. In order to promote Buddhism, I have my own thunderbolt methods." He Xie patted Duan Yu on the shoulder.
"A giant elephant can carry a thousand kilograms, while an ant can only drag a mustard. As the saying goes, if you are poor, you can be good for yourself, and if you are powerful, you can help the world. Brother Duan gave up martial arts today because of temporary likes and dislikes. Could it be that he allowed the evil in this troubled world to rise, but only wanted to do nothing?
So, what about Brother Duan, who is good to himself alone?"
Duan Yu's face was filled with shame as if he had been given a slap in the face and had been enlightened.
Yes, he was moved by He Xie!
Duan Yu is a person who believes in "reason" very much. This kind of person is actually very stubborn. This kind of character can be seen from the fact that he is often obsessed with someone or something.
Therefore, if you want him to change his mind or thoughts, you must convince him.
His parents have been persuading him to practice martial arts for more than ten years, but Duan Yu has always gone his own way. Why?
Because his parents can't talk about him at all. They go back and forth about family honor, inheritance of the Duan family, strengthening the body, and protecting the country and the people. In his opinion, what does this have to do with practicing martial arts?
But He Xie is different.
No one had ever explained to him the necessity of practicing martial arts from the three levels of history, family and country, Zen Buddhism, and even moral cultivation.
He Xie's truth is greater than his.
Duan Yu had to admit that he was blind and could not see Mount Tai. He always felt that practicing martial arts meant fighting and killing, but he did not expect that martial arts itself did not have good or evil, right or wrong, only talents did.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of studying." Duan Yu bowed deeply to He Xie again and said with shame, "If it hadn't been for Brother He's warning, Duan Yu would have known the true meaning of martial arts today. I'm really ashamed, so ashamed!"
"If you don't have evil thoughts, killing is also to protect lives; always have compassion, killing people is killing karma." He Xie said with a smile, "Brother Duan is indeed obsessed with life."
Duan Yu said solemnly: "I didn't expect that Brother He's attainments in Buddhism are so profound. Duan Yu has learned from him!"
After a pause, Duan Yu said: "After being taught by Brother He, I have decided to practice martial arts. However, this Beiming Divine Skill is too harmful to Tianhe, so I have to live up to Brother He's kindness."
"No, no!" He Xie said with a smile, "Brother Duan's statement is completely false. In my opinion, this Beiming Divine Art is a method of great mercy. How can it be said to harm Tianhe?
"
"Compassion?" Duan Yu was surprised and his eyes widened, "Benefiting yourself at the expense of others, Brother He actually said that this is mercy?"
"Brother Duan is in trouble again." He Xie sighed and shook his head.
He was determined to trick Duan Yu into being lame.
"Let me ask you, Brother Duan, if you were given a choice, would it be better to kill someone? Or get rid of the source of evil people's troubles?" He Xie asked with a smile.
"Of course, if you can avoid killing people, then you won't kill people." Duan Yu said with a smile, "But to remove the evil roots, I'm afraid I can only use the influence of Buddhism."
"No." He Xie shook his head, "Beiming Divine Power can also remove evil roots."
"Want to hear the details." Duan Yu clasped his fists in confusion.
"Evil people create disasters by relying on the strong to bully the weak. The root of the disaster is their martial arts." He Xie said with a smile.
Duan Yu immediately clapped his hands and suddenly exclaimed: "I understand! Why didn't I think that if I used Beiming Magic to absorb the evil man's internal energy, it would be equivalent to removing the root of his evil deeds, which would be like snatching it from the butcher's hand.
The butcher's knife eliminates the need to kill the butcher, and shows the bodhisattva's heart and compassionate methods!"
"That's right." He Xie nodded with satisfaction with a cowardly expression, "You understand this truth. How can it not be absurd to say that you benefit yourself at the expense of others?"
"In life, every porridge, every meal, half a thread, half a thread, are all taken from others. Taking things from others is almost inevitable. Taking them from the unkind people who want to be rich, and using them for the poor and helpless people, not only is it worthy of the heart,
Moreover, it is the compassionate act of a benevolent and righteous person, and the principles of Confucianism and Buddhism are general."
After a pause, He Xie continued with a smile: "Taking the people's fat and anointing to worship one's own extravagant desires is to harm the people; to use it to benefit the world and give it to everyone, it will give birth to Buddhas in all families. So it is not here
Take or not take, but use it for good or evil."
"You sucked away the evil man's inner strength and prevented him from continuing to do evil. You saved countless innocent people. Isn't that compassionate?"
He Xie prescribes the right medicine, and Duan Yu just accepts this.
He showed an expression of sudden realization again, and said gratefully to He Xie: "Brother He, you are really Duan Yu's good teacher! I got to meet Brother He today, how lucky is He Xie for the rest of his life?"
He Xie also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sincerely.
I finally fooled this guy, was it easy?
How many brain bacteria did this little diet cost him?
At that moment, Duan Yu no longer had any doubts. He lowered his head and began to study the Beiming Divine Art seriously. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he should humbly ask He Xie for advice.
He is a smart person and has extraordinary talents. As long as he has the interest and attitude to practice martial arts, his progress will make He Xie feel jealous.
In just two hours, Duan Yu actually cultivated the first ray of Beiming Qi from scratch!
It’s so wall-mounted!
He Xie had not had time to practice Lingbo Weibu before, and Duan Yu was very proficient in Zhouyi Bagua, so when he was practicing this skill, He Xie asked Duan Yu for more advice.
As a result, it took Duan Yu half an hour to learn the Lingbo Weibu.
He Xie spent ten hours...
In the afternoon of the next day, the two of them ate some wild fruits in the valley, then performed the Lingbo Weistep together and left the valley.
Duan Hanhan finally remembered that there was still Zhong Ling waiting for him to save. He warmly invited He Xie to help, and He Xie naturally obliged.
