Brother Kong Xuan

Chapter 299, Hiss~ My scalp is itchy!
"Teacher, I seem to have some ideas."

In the Shangqing Palace, Jin Ling, who was reading a Buddhist book, raised his head and looked at Tongtian.

"Oh? Tell me."

Hearing this, Tongtian, who was slowly making tea, paused for a moment, took out a teacup and filled it up, then motioned for Jin Ling to take a seat.

"At present, the focus of Buddhist scriptures is mainly on educating sentient beings, eliminating their own troubles in this life, and pursuing individual liberation."

“And in the classics compiled by my disciples of the three religions, Xuandu added the idea of ​​letting nature take its course.

The disciples of the Chan school added the content of enlightening one's mind, observing and summarizing the laws of heaven and earth.

The disciples of Jiejiao have joined the idea of ​​persuading those who have achieved success in cultivation to teach everyone, and when a crisis occurs, they should rise up and fight for a glimmer of hope. "

"But no matter what the point of view is, it ultimately seems to focus on the individual himself."

Sitting down in front of Tongtian, Jin Ling told Tongtian his thoughts.

"Well, that sums it up well."

Tongtian nodded in approval and waited for Jin Ling's next words.

"Of course, this is right. After all, all living beings suffer. It is not easy to take care of yourself in this world."

“But there must be a distinction between superior and inferior beings, so I believe that all beings should be compassionate and not only pursue their own liberation, but also provide some support to the younger generations on the road to progress.”

"According to the Buddhist teachings, it means saving all living beings."

"If you are rich, you should help the world; if you are poor, you should take care of yourself."

Hearing this, Tongtian chuckled and asked Jin Ling in return.

"There are three thousand great ways, and they all have something in common."

In response, Jin Ling just smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Theoretically, there is no problem. The idea is also good. So, you can compile it yourself first. After you finish compiling, you can hand it over to me as your teacher."

Tongtian did not continue to comment, he just gave instructions to Jin Ling.

Let Jin Ling finish most of it on his own first, and then Tongtian will take the classics compiled by Jin Ling to review with Yuanshi Taishang.

It mainly depends on the degree of completion of Jin Ling's compilation. If Jin Ling compiled the scriptures perfectly by himself, then there would be no need to say more.

The Second Saint can't expect to get any benefit at all.

If there is still room for improvement in the scriptures compiled by Jin Ling, the Three Pure Ones will help Jin Ling improve part of it and then give it to the Two Saints to improve the rest.

It is a benefit, and we can share it together.

"it is good."

Hearing this, Jin Ling naturally agreed directly.

"By the way, in addition to your thoughts, how to liberate oneself and how to save all living beings also need to be compiled."

Looking at Jin Ling in front of him, Tongtian continued to add.

"Ah."

Hearing this, Jin Ling nodded without any hesitation.

How to liberate oneself and how to save all living beings.

To put it bluntly, it is actually about how to practice, how to protect the Tao, how to fight, and even how to make elixirs and refine weapons.

Jin Ling was naturally no stranger to these things.

And these things can just leave enough space for the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints to replenish them.

……

As the saying goes, there is no time in the mountains, but a thousand years have passed in the world.

When Jin Ling was immersed in practicing and compiling classics in Shangqing Palace.

The changes outside Kunlun Mountain can also be described as rapid and profound.

After the Jiuli tribe retreated to the north, a large-scale war broke out between the two emperors Yan and Huang.

In this war, apart from Xuandu and Nanji, there was no third immortal participating.

Nan Ji and Xuan Du also had a tacit understanding and neither of them took part in the action personally.

We just provided some strategic support.

To be honest, the battle between Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang can be said to be evenly matched.

It is almost foreseeable that if a winner really were to be determined between the two, the loss of the masters within the human race would exceed 70%.

This situation made Shaodian, who had already entered the Fire Cloud Cave to practice, feel a little uneasy.

But in the end Shaodian did not appear among the human race.

There was no other reason, he was stopped by Suiren and Fuxi.

The current civil war among the human race will certainly come at a great cost.

But Suiren and Fuxi knew very well that this was the pain that the human race must go through in order to regain unity.

However, just as the civil war among the human race intensified, Emperor Yan Shennong died of poisoning when he tasted some herbs himself.

To be honest, Xuandu was completely numb after seeing Yuwang die in front of him.

no……

How could you die at such a critical moment?

But Xuandu was also a man who followed the rules. When Yuwang was about to die from the poison, Xuandu used a Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill to bring Yuwang back to life.

But Xuandu also personally took Yuwang to Huoyun Cave.

The reason for saving Yuwang was, on the one hand, to fulfill the relationship between master and disciple, and on the other hand, to preserve a heritage for the human race.

The reason why he personally brought Yuwang to Huoyun Cave was because Xuandu abided by the rules and would not take action. Now that he had taken action, it meant that he had withdrawn from the competition.

When teaching students, one must be able to afford to fail.

After Shennong left the stage, Shennong's son Zhu proclaimed himself Emperor Yan. However, with a young ruler and a fragile state, the Shennong tribe could not help but develop internal strife.

The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan saw this opportunity and decisively sent troops to completely defeat the Shennong tribe and minimize the losses of the human race.

It is known in history as the Battle of Banquan.

But even if the losses of the human race were reduced to the minimum, the overall strength of the human race had also declined significantly.

Chi You, who was in the north, smelled an opportunity and once again led the Jiuli tribe southward.

The war between humans and witches broke out again.

In response to this, Xuanyuan adopted a conservative strategy, extending the time as much as possible while accumulating strength and seeking opportunities for counterattack.

In the end, Xuanyuan defeated Chiyou once again. The witches and humans were completely integrated into one, and Xuanyuan also successfully became the Emperor of Man.

Shennong is also loved by half of the human race, and his spirit of willingness to sacrifice himself in order to lay the foundation for the human race's alchemy system, so he will be remembered forever in the hearts of the human race.

The names of Emperors Yan and Huang will remain forever in the history books of mankind.

Later generations also called themselves the descendants of Yan and Huang.

At this point, the era of the Three Emperors came to an end.

……

"Teacher, I have failed to live up to your expectations."

Xuandu, who was dragged to Yuxu Palace by Nanji, lowered his head and did not dare to look at Taishang's expression.

"So, you didn't dare to come to see your master until now?"

In response to this, Tai Shang just asked Xuan Du with an expressionless face.

"Pfft."

As a soft sound arose in the Yuqing Palace, Xuandu knelt in front of Taishang without saying a word.

"Return to Bajing Palace and reflect on your mistakes."

In response to this, Tai Shang simply waved his sleeves and gave instructions to Xuan Du.

Taishang was not angry that Xuandu failed in his quest for unification.

Because the fault was not with Xuandu.

That was the path to enlightenment that Shennong had to take.

What really made Tai Shang angry was Xuan Du’s escapist mentality.

This is bad.

"Ling'er, your fate as a master and disciple has arrived."

At this time, Yuan Shi ignored Nan Ji who looked like he was going to praise me, and said to Jin Ling. "Ah?"

Hearing this, Jin Ling immediately stood up and looked at Yuan Shi.

"What if the disciple doesn't want to accept it?"

Blinking, Jin Ling muttered softly.

"There is no discrimination in education! There is no discrimination in education! Have you forgotten the teachings of Jiejiao?!"

Upon hearing this, without waiting for Yuanshi to say anything, Tongtian suddenly stood up, raised his hand and slapped Jin Ling.

Seeing this, Yuanshi and Taishang also laughed helplessly.

Seeing that the originally heavy atmosphere had become a little more relaxed, Jin Ling held his head and ran out of the Yuqing Palace at a trot.

……

"Shennong and his daughter Jingwei come to pay respect to Wu Zu."

Outside the Yuxu Palace, the kind-looking Shennong, leading a delicate little girl, bowed and saluted to Jin Ling.

"The Emperor is exempt from the formalities."

In response, Jin Ling simply raised his hand and signaled Shennong to stand up.

"Disciple Jingwei, I have long heard that Martial Ancestor has great magical powers. I have come to become his disciple and hope that he will accept me as a disciple."

Kneeling on the ground with a plop, Jingwei bowed to Jin Ling.

"Um……"

Looking at Jingwei who knelt on the ground without saying a word, Jin Ling fell silent.

To be honest, it's a bit difficult.

That’s right, Jiejiao adheres to the concept of teaching without distinction.

However, from the perspective of the human race, Suiren's wife was Huaxu, Huaxu's child was Fuxi, Fuxi's child was Shaodian, and Shennong was Shaodian's child.

Now Shennong brought his daughter to him to become his disciple, so the question is, Suiren is his registered disciple...

This generation is very confusing.

So, it is true that I wanted to liven up the atmosphere in Yuqing Hall, and it is also true that I didn’t really want to accept this disciple.

Well, Jin Ling can also sense the bond between master and disciple.

It’s just that the saint didn’t say anything, and Jin Ling didn’t bring it up either.

"Before you came to Kunlun Mountain, did you ask Suiren for his advice?"

After pondering for a moment, Jin Ling looked at Shennong with slight hesitation.

"Reporting to Martial Ancestor, I have not asked for the opinion of the Fire Emperor before. Of course, I am also very clear that this behavior is really inappropriate."

"However, my little daughter died in an accident and turned into a flying bird. I am ashamed and unable to teach her, so I had no choice but to bring her to pay respect to the Martial Ancestor."

"Disciple...disciple..."

Having said that, Shennong suddenly became very hesitant.

"I am willing to sever my father-daughter relationship with my daughter. I only ask Martial Ancestor to show mercy and accept my daughter as his disciple, and grant her a chance to transcend!"

Shennong knelt down in front of Jin Ling, closed his eyes, and pleaded with Jin Ling.

That’s right, Shennong was reluctant to part with his favorite daughter.

But there was no way. The physical body was damaged and only the spirit remained, which turned into the body of a bird. It is not empty talk to say that Jingwei's future is ruined.

Let alone becoming a quasi-sage, given Jingwei's current situation, it would be extremely difficult for her to even become an immortal.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, Shennong had to make a choice for Jingwei's future.

"Father!"

Hearing this, Jingwei suddenly stood up and looked at Shennong in surprise.

Didn’t you say you wanted to break up with me before you came?
"Shut up! Whatever you want to say, just shut up!"

In response, Shennong just scolded Jingwei without any explanation.

"stand up."

Taking two steps forward and helping Shennong up, Jin Ling's eyes fell on Jingwei.

"Severing the father-daughter relationship only severing the status, not the emotion. Why should we be so sad?"

Letting go of Shennong, Jin Ling walked to Jingwei, wiped away Jingwei's tears with his hand, and touched the top of Jingwei's head with a smile on his face.

"what?"

Hearing this, Jingwei looked at Jin Ling in confusion.

"Your teacher will not forbid you to go to see Emperor Yan, so why should you feel sad?"

With a chuckle, Jin Ling continued to ask Jingwei.

Now that things have come to this, Jin Ling naturally won't refuse anymore.

There is no discrimination in education.

Hearing this, Jingwei's eyes suddenly lit up, as if... that's the case.

Shennong, who was standing aside and watching the scene, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Disciple thanks Martial Ancestor for his kindness."

"I have heard that you have been throwing stones and branches into the East China Sea every day for these years. What do you think? Are you trying to fill up the East China Sea?"

After casually waving to Shennong, Jin Ling sat directly in front of Jingwei and looked up at Jingwei standing in front of him.

These things, if Jin Ling wanted to know, were very simple.

"It was the East Sea that caused me to become like this, so I must fill it up!"

Upon hearing this, Jingwei simply raised his fist towards Jin Ling and spoke in a decisive tone.

"But the waves are blown up by the wind. Why do you only blame the waves and not the wind?"

With his eyebrows slightly raised, Jin Ling did not deny Jingwei's point of view, but just asked Jingwei back.

"what?"

Hearing this, Jingwei was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jin Ling in a daze.

like……

Is this the truth?

"Is it because you can't take revenge on the wind?"

Seeing this, Jin Ling continued to ask Jingwei.

"This……"

Jingwei scratched his head foolishly, and felt his scalp itchy, as if something was about to grow out.

"Moreover, there are still countless aquatic creatures living in the East China Sea, and a quarter of the dragons are there. If you fill up the sea, what will they do?"

Seeing this, Jin Ling just continued to ask Jingwei back.

"Then did the disciple die in vain?"

After hearing this, Jingwei hesitated for a long time, then asked Jin Ling with some uncertainty.

"Silly child, the wind and the clouds surge, the sun rises and the moon sets, this is the Tao, at that time, at that place, no matter if it is you or anyone else, if you pass by there, you will drown."

"This is the law of nature, and also the way of heaven. It is fair, but also unfair."

With a chuckle, Jin Ling explained softly to Jingwei.

In fact, there is no shady plot in the story of Jingwei. It was simply a story of a child who had not grown up yet and secretly went out to sea on a boat, but encountered a shipwreck and drowned.

As for why it turned into a flying bird?

It’s simply because its essence was integrated into a bird’s egg.

"If the teacher passes by there, will he also drown?"

Hearing this, Jingwei subconsciously asked Jin Ling.

"No, Master can fly."

In response, Jin Ling replied without any hesitation.

Looking at Jingwei's speechless look, he laughed out loud.

"So, please don't do this again, okay?"
