Chapter 1 The ultimate argument
Mount Tai.
This is the first time Li Ye has reached Mount Tai after he arrived in this world. Pinglu Five Prefectures is east of Mount Tai. According to Li Ye's saying that the world before he traveled through, it is called Shandong.
There are also Taoist temples in Mount Tai, but they are not affiliated with the five great Taoist sects, but the place where Quanzhen Temple is located. Quanzhen Temple is the new Taoist school founded by Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang.
"If the mountain is not high, there will be a name for immortals, and if the water is not deep, it will be a spirit. According to the old Taoist, there is no need to build Quanzhen Temple on Mount Tai. It is difficult to climb so high, so my dustji mountain is good."
When he reached the top, Chu Nanhuai curled his sleeves with both hands and said, as if he didn't look down on Dongyue very much.
Before dawn, the fields were deep and quiet. From the top of the mountain, the mountains were hidden in the thick darkness. Qimingxing was already very eye-catching, but it was too far away and not enough to illuminate the top of the mountain.
Su Emei was personally setting up Xiao'an, futuan and other things for Li Ye and others. Li Ye stood in front of the cliff with his hands behind his hands and laughed at him: "It is a bit cliché to achieve things by taking advantage of the situation, but it is inevitable. Whether it is Taoist temples or Buddhist temples, they must try their best to occupy the famous mountains and rivers in the world. In addition to these places, the beautiful mountains and rivers are abundant and spiritual energy is beneficial to practice, using the original reputation of mountains and rivers to enhance the status of Taoist temples is also the meaning of the topic."
Chu Nanhuai sat down after the small case set up by Su Emei, waiting for Su Emei to serve him. Everyone was waiting on the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, so naturally they could not be without fine wine. Su Emei disliked Wei Xiaozhuang's clumsyness, and she handled these things by herself, as if she was back to her youth, taking care of Taoist temples at Duji Mountain.
Chu Nanhuai looked at Li Ye and suddenly asked, "Pinglu's demons are in trouble. How do you plan to deal with it? Let's say it first, the old Taoist is already old and just want to go back to Boji Mountain to retire."
Li Ye turned around, smiled distractedly, and came to the small case to sit facing Chu Nanhuai.
Su Emei put the wine pot and glasses on the two of them, and there was a plate of pastries, with different styles, but the most was the osmanthus cake. I don’t know where she got the osmanthus from this season. When she made these, her eyebrows and eyes were quiet and peaceful, and she didn’t interrupt. Her hair slid down her fair and flawless face, dancing and flying in the breeze on the top of the mountain.
Except for Li Ye and Chu Nanhuai, the only one who was wearing silver armor, Shangguan Qingcheng brought three guards to the intersection on the edge of the flat ground. Shangguan Qingcheng still looked squinting, standing with his knife, his waist was straight and heroic, as if he could draw a knife at any time and guard Li Ye behind him - even if it was very safe here.
Li Ye said to Chu Nanhuai: "I have something unknown."
Chu Nanhuai picked up the wine glass and signaled Su Emei to fill it up quickly. He couldn't wait to drink it, smacking his lips happily, and then said: "Your Highness just ask, and the old man knows everything."
He just said that he was planning to retire when he was old, but he was indifferent. He was drinking a glass of wine and his emotions immediately became high. Judging from his appearance, if Li Ye was willing to give him dozens of jars of wine, it would be impossible for him to be his entourage.
Li Ye asked seriously: "Are there any demons in this world?"
Of course, there is no one on the earth, but Li Ye really doesn't know if there is one in this world. If not, there will be no explanation for the demons who are now in chaos and silence. If so, wouldn't it be true that the sect and the sect subdue demons?
Chu Nanhuai chuckled and said, "After Pangu's creation of the world, before the Human Cultivation was revealed, the Witch and the Demon tribes were the lords of this world. The demon was led by Nuwa and the Emperor Taiyi of the East, and was in charge of the immortal court and built the immortal palace; the witch was led by the twelve ancestor witches, and managed the earth and established the six reincarnations. Later, Gonggong knocked down Buzhou Mountain, and the Lich warped, both of them were injured and retreated, so the People's Cult was prospering. If your Highness asked this, then the Witch and the Demon do exist. As for the Demon... What is the Demon?"
Li Ye frowned slightly and asked further: "Is it true or false to subdue demons in the Taoist sect and subdue demons in the Taoist sect?"
Chu Nanhuai sneered: "How could your wise man ask such a question?"
He gently brushed his sleeves and said slowly: "In the Taoist Sect and Shimen preaching, demons are monsters that harm the world and kill people without blinking. It is really a joke. There are no monsters in the world. In order to attract people to believe in them and to provide incense to support them, Shimen Taoist Sect made up stories of subjugating demons and eliminating demons. Through these stories, people were very awe of Shimen Taoist Sect and began to worship them, especially when life was not going well, they wanted to pray for blessings."
"However, all demons in the world rely on the Shimendao Sect to subdue. So who would subdue the demons before the Shimendao Sect appeared? At that time, no one subdued the demons, why didn't demons go everywhere? Why didn't there be trouble in the world and make the people unable to survive?"
"If a saint dies, the thief will not stop. Beauty is beautiful, and this is evil. If there are no demons, how can there be gods and Buddhas? If there are no demons, what is the meaning of Shi Dao? In order to exist, Shimendao Sect can only fabricate things about demons to demonstrate the necessity of their existence."
Speaking of this, Chu Nanhuai sneered, picked up a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth, enjoying it beautifully.
Li Ye drank a sip of wine. The wine was a good wine, which was produced in Jiannan, Shuzhong. The fragrance was everywhere. It was the middle of winter. Drinking a sip was just enough to warm your stomach. However, the wine that had a good taste before, came to Li Ye's mouth, but he didn't taste any taste.
Li Ye put down his wine glass and asked again: "There are no demons in the world, and no one needs to subdue demons and eliminate demons. What else do gods and Buddhas do? Just to show his strength, people will worship them and support their disciples? What is the difference between them and robbers? Wouldn't robbers just do not work and rob others of their sweat fruits? Isn't the difference between one by one and one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by
"If Gods and Buddhas are kind, why do people have to offer incense to eliminate disasters and problems for others? If incense is not offered incense, they will not eliminate disasters and problems for others? What is the essential difference between the killers in the world who take money and eliminate disasters for others? If Gods and Buddhas can really eliminate disasters and problems for others, why are there still many disasters and difficulties in the world?"
"When those who are rich and unkind and corrupt and abuse their power have never died suddenly without reason? How many people who are kind to help others have good clothes and food? The scene of this world is that the former is doing whatever they want, while the latter is becoming more and more difficult and troublesome. If there are gods and Buddhas, why don't Vajra be angry, Bodhisattvas lower their eyebrows, and gods appear in the world?"
Speaking of this, Li Ye took a deep breath and continued to ask: "If there are no demons in the world, if gods and Buddhas cannot eliminate disasters and difficulties for people, if gods and Buddhas cannot punish evil, is the meaning of the existence of gods and Buddhas just to make ordinary people who have no power and are already difficult to live in awe and kneel down and worship? Is it just to make people in this world willingly, endure the suffering of life, and torture of the rich and unkind, and hope that the vain next life can become rich and powerful people who do whatever they want?"
"If there are no demons in the world, if there are no gods and Buddhas in the world, then the worshipped people are just cultivators with strong cultivation and selfishness. What is the difference between them and the mortal world's powerful people? Can you say that one can be clear and clear, and forget what you eat and drink from? Can you be calm and forget what you have given, and who will be raised by your flesh and blood? If one has the world in mind, why not contribute a little of your strength to make this world better?"
"If there are no demons in the world, if there are no gods and Buddhas in the world, if there are no powerful monks in the world, the meaning of the existence of the Sect and Taoist Sect cannot be beneficial to the people or the world, then what is left? Just gathering a group of people who sing Buddhas and recite scriptures, pretending to be mysterious in front of ordinary people, saying insincere words, talking about unrealistic dreams, fantasizing about the peak that cannot be reached, and using this to deceive the people's money? Then what is the difference between it and pyramid schemes?"
Li Ye did not continue to say it. He was a little excited just now and even blurted out the word "pyramid scheme".
Su Emei knelt beside the small desk, listening quietly as Li Ye and Chu Nanhuai talked. Hearing this, she looked at Li Ye with bright eyes, her eyes looking a little strange.
Chu Nanhuai smiled, "The people who can step into the threshold of the Shimen Taoist Sect must be a few people in this world. They must have some outstanding qualifications and praiseworthy places. The people live in difficult situations and endure various hardships. If there are no demons, gods and Buddhas in the world, and if there are no powerful monks in the world, then the Taoist Sect, as an unusual group of people, can help them solve the pain and torture when they are in trouble and illness. If they cannot walk in the world, let the people hear the words of Shu Tao, and have less perseverance and evil spirits in life, so that they can be friendly and have fewer disputes, so that they can know books and rituals, respect their parents and brothers, and help each other, what's the point?"
Speaking of this, Chu Nanhuaiman drank a glass of wine, stood up, and faced the Qimingxing who was moving.
He made a generous speech: "People believe in Taoist sects and Shumen, and want to seek protection, wealth, and health. These are naturally a matter of seeking fish from the tree. But it is undeniable that the teachings of Shumen and Taoist sect do have the effect of purifying the mind and making the mind pure and calm. The best is like water, the sound is loud and the sound is loud, and the great way does not fight. Therefore, some people hate the disputes in the world and turn to the Taoist sect and Shumen, looking for a trace of purity. Shumen and Taoist sect have become a haven for them to escape from the world and seek peace of mind. If so, the Taoist sect should not enjoy incense."
Chu Nanhuai waved his hand, and the wine pot of Xiaochen flew into his hand, and he raised his head to drink it.
After a while, he continued to speak, his tone became more and more sonorous, and his voice became more and more loud: "The Shumen and Taoist sect in my heart are a group of people who eliminate the violent and evil thoughts of people's hearts and make people live a peaceful life! The Shumen and Taoist sect in my heart are the group of people who promote benevolence and friendship! The Shumen and Taoist sect in my heart are a group of people who promote righteousness and make the world more beautiful! The Damen and Taoist sect in my heart are a group of people who help those in need, reduce the pain in the world, and make the world more beautiful!"
"The Taoist and Shimen in my heart are a group of people walking on the road, walking on the road of the world, helping others, benefiting the people of the world, and making the world a better group!"
"A person who can make this world a better place, even if it is just a little bit better, is a person worthy of respect and love in this world. Everyone is equal, and all beings are equal. What is needed is respect and friendship, so why should you be afraid of kneeling down?"
"The Taoist and Buddhist sects in my heart are not people who need to worship, respect, and kneel down and bow down, but I don't work and don't give, but can wear bright clothes and enjoy the fruits of others' farming with peace of mind!"
"Those kind of people are borers of the world! My Taoist temple and my disciples are not such people!"
"They will let the people of the world know that the Taoist sect is a existence worthy of their respect and love and can make them rely on! Even if they cannot eliminate disasters and solve problems, at least they will not use the legends of gods and immortals to ask them for a penny! Even if they cannot let them have enough food and clothing, they can at least be at peace!"
"This is my Taoist sect, the Taoist sect I, Chu Nanhuai, wanted!"
Li Ye was excited when he heard this.
The mountain wind whistles, and Chu Nanhuai's clothes are flying.
What he was wearing was still the Taoist robe with a lot of patches, which looked so shabby and inconspicuous. Walking on the official road and walking in the market, the rich and noble people in the rich will not only not look at him in front of him, but will also cover their noses from afar, like avoiding flies.
However, at this moment, in front of the star, the old brown-skinned Taoist made Li Ye see hope.
Li Ye couldn't help but stand up, "Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs. In the eyes of saints, the common people and plants are the same, and they will not favor one or the other. Why would Taoist Master care about the common people?"
Chu Nanhuai turned around and looked directly at Li Ye: "The saints regard everything the same, not because they are not compassionate or compassionate, but because they are compassionate and compassionate. If they are rich in the common people and thin in the plants and trees, one day, the plants and trees will suffer a catastrophe. At that time, can the people still exist? The old Taoist cares about the people, which comes from caring about all things."
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he bowed deeply to Chu Nanhuai: "I've been taught."
Chu Nanhuai came to Li Ye, held his hand with a deep impression on him, saying, "Your Highness was born for heaven and earth, and I hope to understand the emperor's way as soon as possible. That is the blessing of heaven and earth."
