: First lead with desire (Update 2 of 2)

"Master Yan, if I treat 100,000 seriously ill people, would you be willing to give me 10,000 drops of rejuvenation elixir?" Ning Yun stared at Yan Zixiu and asked.

Ten thousand drops? One drop for seven days, which is enough to last more than two hundred years. Others think this is too big a deal.

Yan Zixiu said solemnly: "A gentleman's words are like stained soap. However..."

"Does it mean that Master Yan doesn't have so much rejuvenation elixir in his hands?" Ning Yun was forced to run back and forth due to Yan Zixiu's manipulation. He felt unhappy, so he always wanted to find faults.

"Don't worry, the Rejuvenation Pill guarantees that you won't default on your payment. But there are some things we need to explain in advance. When I say a hundred gongs for one drop, I mean pure gongs."

"What is pure gong?"

Yan Zixiu pointed at the book "Self-Knowledge Record": "Pure gong is the absolute value after subtracting the merits and demerits. For example, if you harm someone for no reason, killing one person is a hundred faults. It will offset the good deeds you have done. So you

During this period, records must be kept.”

Ning Yun's hand holding "Self-Knowledge" was trembling a little. If Xiang Yun, a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, was not present, she wanted to throw the book to the ground and walk away. If it weren't for the evil spirit in her body, she would have brought two

The maid came up and snatched it away.

During her years in the Demon Sect, she could do whatever she wanted. How had she ever been restrained like this? It was just for her own sake to do some good deeds. Now she couldn't do the bad things mentioned in the book. After doing so, she would have to deduct the absolute value.

This is simply unreasonable!

But what else can she do if she doesn't do it? Bow her head and beg the other party for rejuvenation elixir? This is even harder for her to accept.

She suddenly smiled charmingly: "Master Yan, if I don't do anything, and after a certain period of time I will repay you with a certain amount of pure gong, will you be willing to give me the dew?"

Yan Zixiu had a clear mind and a clear mind, and was not tempted by her charms. In addition, he judged her mental state very accurately and knew that she was arrogant. If she cheated like that, she would not be able to understand her thoughts. So it was just

He said flatly: "I believe in Fellow Daoist Ning."

Ning Yun was speechless. She was too hard now to dare to come, and Yan Zixiu was soft and refused to eat. She felt helpless and sat there, using the book "Self-knowledge" as a fan.

The maid in yellow sent a message to Ning Yun: "Miss, don't worry, we might as well do pure good deeds for a while. We can wait until we get the Rejuvenation Pill. By then, this little monk named Yan can still come to you.

Want to come back?"

Ning Yun was upset and didn't know what to do. After hearing what the maid said, there was an idea: "Okay, in that case, Master Yan, I will accept your book."

Yan Zixiu once proposed three methods to solve the problem of Ning Yun's evil spirit entering his body. The first is to treat it hard, find the pool of Xuantian Divine Thunder, whip it with divine thunder, replace all the bones and flesh, and eliminate the evil spirit. The second is to modify it.

The samadhi of loving-kindness is to practice meritorious deeds to dissolve evil spirits. The third method is to accumulate merit and cultivate merits to infect evil spirits.

Seeing that Ning Yun agreed to take this third path, he was very happy: "Then I wish fellow Taoist Ning Yun all the best."

Even if Ning Yun's starting point is to forcefully practice kindness for his own sake, objectively many people will benefit. For these demonic people, we cannot have too high demands at the beginning. We can only "leave them with desire first."

Ning Yun was about to stand up and leave when the maid in red, Hong Shao, suddenly asked: "Master Yan. I wonder if I can get your tree house and flying magic weapon in exchange for my pure martial arts?"

It turns out that she has always been thinking about Yan Zixiu's fairy tree house and Xiangyun pocket.

Upon hearing this, the maid in yellow also looked over eagerly.

A gentleman relies on wealth to make a living, and Yan Zixiu understands this truth. External objects serve the freedom of the soul and the welfare of the public, so he is naturally willing: "Okay. A thousand pure gongs can be exchanged for a fairy tree house, and a fairy tree house.

Wan Chun Gong exchanges it for a junior Xiangyun pocket."

He took out another book, "Self-Knowledge Record", and passed it to Hongshao using the art of controlling objects. The book was in the air, as if someone was holding it with his hand, and slowly flew towards Hongshao.

According to the calculation of saving one life as one hundred merits, ten thousand pure merits need to save one hundred people. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, let alone saving one hundred people. So Yan Zixiu did not give up these treasures.

Moreover, the entry-level Xiangyun Pocket is a low-end version and does not have the invisibility and acceleration functions. These functions are temporarily not available to magic monks.

Yan Zixiu knew that the red peony root was originally meant for Xiangyun Dou because of its beauty, so the appearance was not compromised.

Hong Shao took the "Self-Knowledge Record" and flipped through it, reading one of its passages: "It is a good deed to feed a hungry person, to drink ten drinks to a thirsty person, to give a warm house to a cold person for a night, to give a cotton garment to a hungry person.

The two good deeds are to provide light in the dark for one person, and to provide rain gear when it rains."

She raised her head and looked at Yan Zixiu: "Master Yan, does what you say here also apply to ordinary people? Giving those ants a meal counts as one good deed? And a piece of good clothing counts as two good deeds?"

Yan Zixiu said seriously: "We see mortals as ants. Those high-level monks see us as ants too. I don't agree with such mutual contempt. Although immortals and mortals have different lifespans and cultivation levels, their lives are equal.

Of course, I am not forcing you to accept these concepts now. You only need to truly help mortals, and it will be considered a credit. On the other hand, harming mortals will also be considered a fault."

"Okay." For the sake of Xiangyun Dou and Fairy Tree House, Hong Shao persuaded herself to endure it for now.

The maid in yellow opened her mouth, then swallowed the words when they reached her lips.

Ning Yun's mood was a little complicated. He stood up and said, "Master Yan, Senior Xiangyun, Fellow Daoist Lan, I'll take our leave."

"Three Taoists, please leave." Everyone greeted each other with courtesy.

When Ning Yun and the others walked away, the ancestor of the Lan family smiled and said: "Master Yan, I really admire you. These three unruly Demon Sect monks have actually been tamed and docile by you."

Yan Zixiu waved his hand: "No, I'm just taking advantage of the situation. There are three types of people in this world. Inferior ones are driven by fear. They won't shed tears until they see the coffin. They won't move until pain comes. Medium ones are profit.

Drive, where there is benefit, we are willing to go wherever there is sword, mountain, fire, sea. Ning Yun and the others seek benefits and avoid disadvantages, I just follow the trend and persuade them to turn back and do good."

"Then what are the top-grade organs like?" The ancestor of the Lan family was very curious.

"There are very few high-quality talents. We take the welfare of the public as our welfare. Just like the sages in our hometown said, the sages have no intentions and only care about the hearts of the people."

The ancestor of the Lan family said with admiration: "These words are very similar to our ancestral precepts. I think Master Yan has this type of talent."

Xiangyun and others unanimously agreed with this.

"I think all people have superior abilities. The so-called low-end abilities and medium-end abilities are just temporarily confused. Saints have no intention of taking the hearts of the people as their heart. They may sound lofty, but in fact they are the original state of everyone.

.If you break the illusion and become enlightened, everyone will be a saint, and at the same time, there will be no such thing as a saint or not."

Everyone originally thought that Yan Zixiu wanted to be humble, but they didn't expect that he said such words, and they felt something in their hearts for a while.

Yan Zixiu saw that everyone was lost in thought and was in no hurry to break the silence.

This is a rare state of enlightenment.

After a while, the ancestor of the Lan family breathed a sigh of relief: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."

Yan Zixiu changed the subject: "Congratulations to the ancestor for his enlightenment. I wonder how Lan Xincheng is doing now?"

"By the way, Master Yan, I have already taken care of everything you arranged. This is the account book of the Poor Society."

Poor Society? Account books? Xiangyun and Zhaoxia were a little confused.

Lan Meng explained to them. Ning Yun took out two high-grade spiritual stones as a thank you gift, but Dr. Yan refused to accept it. The two sides were in a stalemate, and then Doctor Yan gave in and offered the two high-grade spiritual stones to the Buddha with flowers and entrusted the ancestor of the Lan family to organize one.

The Poverty Relief Society converted it into two million taels of gold to provide disaster relief and help the poor. The ancestor of the Lan family was strict in doing things and asked the people below to keep good accounting records.

So, Xiangyun and Zhaoxia understood and admired the leader even more.

Yan Zixiu took the account book and flipped through it. He felt that the records were indeed very detailed. When, where, what happened, and how much money was spent, it was all clear: "Old ancestor, I have taken the trouble. We want to continue to run this poor society, but there are not enough spiritual stones."

If so, you can contact Elder Xiangyun at any time."

The record of self-knowledge was originally called Taiwei Xianjun Gong Guoge. Master Lianchi, a eminent monk in the Ming Dynasty, made some additions and changed its name to the record of self-knowledge. The original text can be found online.
