Chapter 52 The Meaning of Life

"Senior Brother Huang?!" Yu Tianqing exclaimed and pulled her hand out of his.

Huang Yiliang apologized, "It's so abrupt, I'm just too excited."

Yu Tianqing silently took two steps back and opened the distance.

At this time, I heard a sneer from Jiuyuehong.

"Senior Brother Huang? It's high and low right now, when are we going to leave?"

Huang Yiliang stood up and said, "We can start now. With our pace, we can reach the rest station this evening."

Jiu Yuehong tilted her head, "Then let's go."

The forest is dense, the moss is thick and emerald, and the shade green on both sides is like umbrellas, covering one end of the sun, and the mountain breeze is refreshing, which makes people feel happy.Occasionally, a few hares scurried around, looking full of wild fun.

Yu Tianqing followed the two of them, and couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother Huang, Senior Sister Hong, I just heard from your conversation that it is illegal to go hunting in Cangmang Mountain?"

Because Jiu Yuehong lost to Yu Tianqing in the competition, she always kept a distance from Yu Tianqing intentionally or unintentionally, and she didn't answer at this time.

Huang Yiliang said, "There is indeed such a regulation. However, it was established thousands of years ago when the Taoist ancestor was here. Since then, the Central Plains righteous way has not been specifically stipulated. Therefore, some people will still come to Cangmang Mountain to hunt openly and secretly. If Even in the surrounding area of ​​Cangwu Mountain, we all turned a blind eye."

Jiu Yuehong smiled and said, "Why didn't Daozu say what he said?"

Huang Yiliang said, "Of course it counts, but it's just..." He expressed his embarrassment, "Since ancient times, there have been such abuses and omissions, and they have been banned time and time again. If the ancients were like this, what can we younger generations do?"

Yu Tianqing asked suspiciously, "Why did Daozu leave such a rule in the first place?"

Huang Yiliang said, "Ancestor Dao used to subdue the evil beasts that caused harm to the people in Cangmang Mountain. At that time, he went deep into the mountain to get rid of the evil beasts. However, after Daozu came out, he left a rule that forbids ascetics to enter Cangmang Mountain to hunt and kill wild animals. It is because the heavens have the virtue of being good at life, and it is even more difficult for spirit beasts to cultivate, not only can they not be hunted at will, but they are not allowed to disturb at will."

"So that's how it is." Yu Tianqing praised, "Tao Patriarch is indeed benevolent and virtuous, benevolent everywhere."

"It's a pity that the rules are now in vain. I don't know if we don't take Daozu or the way of heaven seriously." Jiu Yuehong said coldly.

Huang Yiliang laughed and said, "Junior Sister Hong is serious. All living beings are not easy. As practitioners, sometimes we have to understand."

"Oh?" The corners of Jiu Yuehong's mouth curled up, "From Senior Brother Huang's tone, it seems that he has a different opinion."

Huang Yiliang looked at the two of them and asked, "What is the most helpless as a cultivator?"

Jiu Yuehong said heartily, "Naturally, this body is not successful in Taoism."

Yu Tianqing said, "For me, the biggest helplessness is probably that I don't know the true meaning."

Jiu Yuehong looked at her in surprise.

Huang Yiliang said with a smile, "Junior Sister Yu has lofty ambitions."

Yu Tianqing said in shame, "If you don't know the true meaning, I'm afraid everything you do will be in vain."

Huang Yiliang sighed faintly, "In this world, the only one who truly comprehends the meaning of the Dao is the Dao Patriarch. Sister Yu is worthy of being a disciple of the Dao Zhen Sect with lofty aspirations."

Yu Tianqing said lightly, "It's just the duty of a cultivator."

Huang Yiliang smiled faintly, and then said again, "But in the world, how many people are there who are as gifted and opportunistic as Junior Sister Yu?"

"So, the spirit beasts of Cangwu Mountain can satisfy their inherent defects?" Jiu Yuehong said suddenly.

Huang Yiliang was slightly taken aback, and sighed, "The number of spirit beasts in Cangmang Mountain is far beyond our imagination. Some of these rare spirit beasts are simply treasures. Their skin and bones can be made into weapons and equipment, and their internal organs and meat are even more precious." The holy medicine among the medicines can nourish the essence. If there is the blessing of these things, then, the cultivation of Taoism and breakthrough is no longer a unique qualification for genius monks. Ordinary monks can also reach the pinnacle."

A trace of fanaticism gradually radiated from his eyes, "Let me ask, which cultivator won't be tempted?"

Jiu Yuehong's tone was cold, "So, hunting becomes a reasonable behavior?"

Huang Yiliang said indifferently, "Junior Sister Hong is the phoenix among men, the proud daughter of heaven, escorted by her master along the way, and blessed with countless artifacts and Taoism. Naturally, I don't like these things."

Jiu Yuehong snorted coldly, turned her head away, and stopped talking.

Occasionally, I heard the chirping of wild animals, startled the birds in the forest to flutter, and even saw a few scenes of wild boars and brown bears fighting with each other, which is full of wild fun and vitality.

Yu Tianqing couldn't help sighing, "Can the heart and flesh of these animals really nourish the essence of a Taoist?"

Huang Yiliang affirmed, "Naturally."

Yu Tianqing said again, "Plundering its vitality to nourish oneself, isn't it a waste of virtue?"

Huang Yiliang was silent, and said after a while, "These beasts have low spiritual knowledge, and it is very rare for them to be able to attain the Tao. If their flesh and blood are used to support the Taoists and help them succeed in Taoism, it is also a meritorious deed." pieces."

Yu Tianqing remained silent.

What is the meaning of life?Is it the strong's definition of the weak, or is the life of the weak a dispensable existence?
At dusk and sunset, Cangshan clouds return to their nests.

In Cangmang Mountain, there is a pine and bamboo wooden building, which is the rest station set up by Huanghuamen.

The rosin is overflowing, the green bamboo is elegant, you open the door to green water and green mountains, and when you return, you will see the bright moon and breeze. It is really elegant and unparalleled, a pure land outside the world.

"It's really a beautiful place." Yu Tianqing couldn't help admiring.

Huang Yiliang laughed and said, "My patriarch, who was originally a Sanxian who practiced alone in Cangwu Mountain, was entrusted by the Taoist ancestor to become the guardian of Cangwu Mountain. The patriarch felt that the task was heavy, so he went out to build a temple and recruit disciples. The Huanghuamen was established. However, the tradition of entering the mountain and bigu has not been interrupted, and it has continued to this day. Therefore, on weekdays, it is the place where my brothers and I enter the meditation."

Jiu Yuehong looked around, took a good look, and said, "It seems that it was cleaned up very well..."

Huang Yiliang smiled and said, "Since we are going to welcome the two junior sisters, we must tidy up carefully."

The bamboo building is divided into two floors. Huang Yiliang led Yu Tianqing and Jiu Yuehong around, and said, "The rooms are all empty, and someone has cleaned them specially. Why don't the two junior sisters choose one each."

Jiu Yuehong smiled, seeming to mean something, "As long as there is no special smell, I can live anywhere."

Huang Yiliang smiled without saying a word.

Jiu Yuehong said, "I see that there is a private room opposite the door downstairs, it is convenient for me to get up early and practice martial arts, so let's live there."

Yu Tianqing also said, "There is a room on the second floor with a sliding window facing the sunrise, so I'll live there."

Huang Yiliang said, "Very good, there is another room on the second floor, so how about living next to Miss Yu? Miss Yu, just come to me if you need anything."

Yu Tianqing said politely, "Thank you, Senior Brother Huang."

Huang Yiliang smiled, "You're welcome, I'll go prepare some dinner."
