"The little monk lived outside Jinyang City for many days, and was unable to enter the city for a long time because of the strict guards in the city. I didn't expect that it was a blessing in disguise, and I met an old man." The monk raised his palm and said to Bai Feng and his party: "Bai Shaoxia is now in In the court, are you still secretly fighting against the Taoists of Taiping?"

Seeing that he was dressed in the attire of a walker, with a bamboo hat hanging on his back, and the uppers of his cloth shoes were patched several times, and they were full of dust. It was obvious that he had traveled a long distance.

Bai Feng replied: "Monk Juexin? Why are you afraid of the guards in the city? There are more than a hundred Buddhist temples in Jinyang, so we should sincerely welcome other visiting monks."

"Since the farewell to Qingliang Mountain, I have accepted Master Xuanqing's 'Devil's Wand', determined to travel around, visit the Taiping Taoists gathered everywhere, and let the demons who break the law of human relations accept the heavenly punishment! As time goes by, I will naturally be punished by Taiping. Dao is regarded as a thorn in the side."

Ayu and Fu Wentao were shocked, one after the other said in agreement.

"Juexin, why didn't you tell the two of us? So you have done so many things!"

"It can be seen that everyone is a like-minded person."

Baifeng beckoned to invite everyone, leading them to a place far away from the river to hide, and continued to ask on the way: "I don't know if you want to join us and fight against evil together!"

Yu Ke and Su Qing were leading the horse at the back like two inconspicuous stableboys. Every time they wanted to ask a question, they would be prevaricated by others with more emotional words.

"I have a personal matter, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Juexin said.

"Let's be honest, Mr. Bai is not as serious as he looks." Before Fu Wentao finished speaking, Ayu patted the general's armor on Baifeng's body with great interest, and said boldly: "This outfit is really magnificent! "

Juexin politely returned a smile, and then asked, "How is Mengdie? That day, the Miao girl who followed me walked too hastily, and there were many things I forgot to say."

"Ms. Mengdie settled well in the medical clinic at the foot of Qingliang Mountain. The local people heard that there was an extra Miao doctor there, and they had to go to see a doctor if they broke their heads." Snakes and scorpions have a heart like a bodhisattva."

"That's good, that's good..." Juexin breathed a sigh of relief, but he suddenly became serious about something that should have been something to be happy about, and asked, "Dare to ask Bai Shaoxia, no, General Bai Feng, do you think it's peaceful?" Is Tao really hopeless?"

After hearing this, Bai Feng's expression became gloomy, and he said, "What are you talking about?"

"Just stop here." Juexin called everyone to stop: "Young monks are not afraid to say these words in front of everyone. I have traveled all over the world, and I have seen too many sorrows and joys. Dependent origin and extinction are all related to the cycle of cause and effect. My Buddha is merciful. , to teach the world to do good in this life so as to get rich rewards in the next life, but what about the Tao of Taiping? According to legend, they learned from the "Yellow Turban Army" who raised the flag of righteousness for the common people in the late Han Dynasty. However, after the halberd fell into the sand, it all became a passing cloud, and Sima Tu and his party learned the lessons of their predecessors and chose to take the completely opposite path."

Juexin put down the Buddhist staff and sat on the ground, picked up a branch and drew a circle in the soil, and continued: "Taiping Taoists put down their weapons, tampered with the teachings, chose to abandon good and evil, and discard the distinction between you and me. There is no secular interest or affiliation between Taiping Taoists. In other words, they have erased cause and effect in their memory, just like a person who cuts out his eyes and thinks he can no longer see the painful things gone."

"Isn't this just escaping from reality?" Yu Ke asked rather unconfidently: "Actually, I don't really know what Taipingdao is, but is it really meaningful?"

Jue Xin said: "Forget the past, no longer have expectations for the future, and only live in the present moment that can be seen. At least for many people today, it is a good medicine to cure the disease. They may be the wife of the family Hongxing Husbands who cheated, orphans whose families were exterminated, and old mothers whose children were exiled into the army, as long as they meet the Taiping Dao, it is difficult to resist the temptation."

"Taiping Daoists either lure them with 'immortal medicine', or lure them with 'magic skills', so that people can let go of everything in the world and devote themselves to the great cause of 'becoming an immortal'." Juexin then went to the circle on the ground Draw two circles of the same size on the lower left and lower right respectively.

"For ordinary people, these three circles represent the past, present, and future respectively, and the combination of the three is our life." Juexin said: "But for Taiping Taoists, immortal medicine, magical skills, and success Immortals are their present, and the Taoists of Taiping firmly believe that as long as everyone becomes immortal, a peaceful and prosperous age will come."

Bai Feng asked maliciously: "According to you, is Taiping Dao doing good deeds?"

"That's not the case. Doing this in a short period of time may allow people to obtain a temporary sense of bliss." Juexin put forward his own opinion: "If it lasts for a long time and develops to the point where there are many believers, people will be addicted to drugs and drugs all day long. Between carnal desire and the 'eternal present', one day, they will find that their bodies are deteriorating, asking for immortality, and eventually become lonely and empty talk, and thus fall into deeper despair, and they will not be able to turn around in this life."

"Then why do you still ask me if the Taiping Dao can be saved?" Before Bai Feng finished speaking, Su Qing suddenly fell to her knees with a bang, and said weakly: "I didn't expect that I could tell the story of my mental journey over the years. The person who speaks clearly is actually a monk?"

"Brother Su?"

Su Qing looked at Bai Feng sadly, which was completely different from the miserly posture he had made when he walked all the way. He was trembling all over, and his beard was shaking non-stop: "Brother Bai, most people in this world are not as good as you." You are so strong, no matter how many setbacks you suffer, you can find a way to stand up again... You can naturally laugh at their cowardice and incompetence, but you have to accept that this is the reality! Taiping Daoists, just saw this Opportunity slips in and tells us that the 'eternal present' is the real life..."

"You're right, I'm too arrogant." Bai Feng went to help the other party stand up, with mixed expressions: "However, Taiping Dao has been a disaster for the world for a long time, and if I don't get rid of it, it is difficult for me to face my best friend and master under the nine springs." .”

Juexin picked up the Buddhist staff and stood up, and said: "I can understand General Baifeng's mood, so I only have one request, leave Sima Tu alive, and I want to bring him back to Qingliang Mountain to report to Master Abbot. The little monk firmly believes that , the true 'Tao' becomes clearer the more you debate it; the illusory Tao will only make people more confused."

"Hmph, whatever you want, as long as you don't intervene to obstruct me, I won't have any objections." After Bai Feng finished speaking, he immediately mounted his horse and returned, and told Yu Ke: "Let these few friends of mine go with the team. , whoever wants to stop, report my name."

"Yes, Brother Yi!"
