All living beings in hell

Chapter 188 - A Ming Dacheng Immortal
I just turned around and wanted to enter the office, but the next customer was already waiting at the door.

A fairy dressed in a white robe, with long eyebrows and beard, holding a dust whisk in one hand, was waiting for me at the door.

"Seeing is worse than smelling it. Does your lord know what kind of object you just threw out of the box?"

"Immortal, please come in first."

I stretch out my forearms in a "please" gesture.The fairy flicked the whisk, put it on the crook of his left arm, and followed me into the office.

"The box that your lord just threw out is a chaos lock commonly used by Taoism. It is often used to detain those who are not in harmony with the world, and evildoers who want to disrupt the law of the road."

"It turned out to be like this. The person in the box repeatedly mentioned that my three wishes can be fulfilled. May I ask my lord, is the fulfillment of wishes disrupting the law of the Dao?"

"If you have more, there will be fewer people. Isn't this the law?"

"Sir, please sit down, dare to ask your title?"

"A Ming Dacheng is the No. 70 seven immortals in Huangshan, in charge of poisonous insects and good birds, and dew at dawn."

"Why did the immortal come to me today?"

"I've heard that my lord is eloquent, and I want to discuss the world's affairs with you."

"If you talk about world affairs, I have been away from the world for too long, so I should not be as familiar with you."

"Your Excellency, you are humble. If a villager dares to discuss matters with the officials, what worries does your Excellency have?"

"Please speak."

"What do your lords think of war?"

"From a historical point of view, it is a violent conflict that will inevitably occur after human technology, politics, culture, economy, etc. have developed to a certain level. It is a break of a certain cycle that cannot continue, and the establishment of a new order and regulations.

The existence of war sometimes seems inevitable or even necessary, but for individuals, it is a complete disaster. "

"To survive in the world, one must experience birth, old age, sickness and death. Birth, old age, sickness and death caused by war are part of life itself. Thinking about it this way, what is a disaster for an individual?"

"Isn't it a disaster when the wife and children are separated? Seeing my father, my brother, being forcibly taken into the army, and his life and death are uncertain from now on. , was sentenced to death by another group of humans, isn't this a disaster?

Birth, old age, sickness and death, the four words may not mean anything to a fairy.For me, at the moment of losing my body, there is no threat of illness, aging and death.But for human beings, birth, old age, sickness and death is a lifetime, and it is all the time they will actually spend in the world.

If it is a peaceful age, you will work hard to feed yourself or let your family live a better life.

If it is a time of war, we must find a way to survive the crisis.

The physical body is so important to human beings. Without the physical body, human beings cannot be called human beings.It is this physical body that makes birth, old age, sickness and death an experience and the root of fear.

People must survive with their physical body, and leave that world until the physical body can no longer bear it.

I hate war from the bottom of my heart, precisely because the pain caused by war is far greater than ordinary birth, old age, sickness and death.

The wounds caused by war to a nation, a country, or a belief will take hundreds or even thousands of years to heal. "

"But war is inevitable, isn't it?"

"Yes, I'm ashamed to say it, but every time I think about it, I feel even more angry. Isn't there not enough junk in this world? Allergies, hemorrhoids, rhinitis, a big typhoon suddenly Flooded the balcony at home... There are already so many things to worry about in this world, why do human beings still have the energy to start wars?"

After listening to my words, the immortal laughed loudly: "It seems that you still have great hopes for human beings!"

"Hope? How do you see it?"

"It's not arguing to be angry, and it's unfortunate to be sad. Only if you care about it will you think like this."

"What about the immortal? What does the immortal think?"

"I think war is the business of human beings themselves, and I quite like watching human beings fight. It's very interesting to try their best to kill each other for their own ideas."

"Sometimes I also think about it. In terms of conflict, do you have to fight to the death?"

"For humans, yes, you have to fight to the death."

"why?"

"Stepping on the corpse of the enemy to pick the top prince. Politics is so important to human social activities, and eliminating dissidents is a big part."

"It's true, no matter how much you complain, no matter how dissatisfied, no matter how much you talk nonsense about the injustice of the world every day, this is an indisputable fact."

"How was your life?"

"This is a question I ask the guests, so you are a bit anti-client, aren't you?"

"Of course, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."

"Tell me about you, who was you before you became a fairy? What were you doing?"

"A mortal, a bearer in the mountains, likes to play with poisonous insects, and uses its medicine to treat bruises. He also likes birds, and feeds them every day on the mountain.

One day when I went up the mountain to feed the birds, I saw an old woman sitting halfway up the mountain with her feet twisted, unable to go up or down the mountain.I smeared her with the powder I made from poisonous insects, and carried it down the mountain to find a doctor.Unexpectedly, the old woman was getting lighter and lighter on my back, until finally, I felt that I was carrying no one.Looking back, the old woman in the middle was glowing with golden light, holding a jade bottle. "

"Master Guanyin?"

The immortal nodded: "Master Guanyin took out a branch from the jade bottle, knocked on my head, and then flew away on the auspicious cloud."

"and then?"

"That night, I had a dream. I dreamed that there was an eye growing on my forehead. This eye can see through everything in the world. The chalcedony in the stone and the koi in the river cannot escape my eyes.

I also saw an eye growing out of the palm of my left hand, and I could never forget the books I read with this eye.

There is also an eye growing out of the palm of the right hand. This eye can penetrate people's hearts, and no one's thoughts can escape its gaze.

In the end, Avalokitesvara came sitting on a lotus, told me that I could only keep one of the eyes, and asked me which one I wanted. "

"Which one do you want?"

"I didn't ask for anything, I just asked Master Guanyin a question."

"what is the problem?"

"What do people stand in this world for?"

"For what?"

"It is for the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, but not for the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. Poisonous insects can be made into good medicine. Sometimes people's hearts are as dead as gravel, and sometimes they are noble as a mirror. There is no one, and there is no unified. Those who wish to worry more, those who are honored Honor yourself. This is the situation in life."

"and after?"

"Later, I started cultivating immortality. After a hundred years, I gave up my physical body and continued to live in Mount Huangshan until today."

"How long have you survived in Huangshan?"

"More than three thousand years."

"Haven't you thought about going somewhere else?"

"All places are the same to me. If I want to go, I can get there with just one thought."

"The Huangshan Mountain now is very different from the Huangshan Mountain 3000 years ago."

"Mount Huangshan is now noisy in some seasons. In the deserted season, it is still deserted. The number of birds is less, and there are some species of poisonous insects that I don't recognize. There are more cement-paved roads and fewer trees. Other than that, it is the same as it was thousands of years ago. Huangshan is still Huangshan, and people are different.”

"You came to hell today, are you on vacation?"

"Come out to move your legs and feet, and travel around. Immortals always travel around, so learn more."

"That's right, I think that when I have free time, I also want to travel around."

"Where do you want to go?"

"Actually, I kind of want to go back to the human world."

"Even if there is birth, old age, sickness and death, do you want to go back?"

"Accept what cannot be changed, and then try to live according to your own heart."

"It's an amazing thing."

"Yeah, if it can be done, it's really amazing."

A cloud of white mist appeared around the immortal: "I have limited time to visit today, so I should go back."

"It was a pleasure talking to you."

"Goodbye, writing."

"Goodbye."

The mist gradually enveloped the fairy's body, and his figure became lighter and lighter in the mist until he disappeared with the mist.
