Chapter 13 The Difference Between Good and Evil
When Mencius asked this question, some teachers thought it was the intention of the students.

Qi Jingzhi shook his head, and replied frankly: "Perhaps that soul sees that my family is poor and oppressed by the yamen servants, so he blindly seduces me with benefits such as revenge and murder, and wealth and daughters, but he doesn't know that I have a master who teaches me carefully. If you are willing to continue to study hard, wealth and honor in the world are just within your reach, so how can you use its crooked ways?"

"I don't have much ability, but my tone is not small!"

Master Meng scolded, but the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously: "Since you refused to fall into the trap, and you are still standing here well, that spirit must have followed in Chen Er's footsteps?"

Qi Jingzhi accepted it when he saw it, nodded and said: "I saw it said to repay the favor, but its eyes were fixed on my spiritual blood, so I knew it was not a good way, and I am afraid it will not give up easily. I just killed someone again. With the evil spirit in his chest, he immediately tricked it into approaching him, and also stabbed him to death."

Master Meng nodded, glanced casually across the young man's left arm, and praised: "Your grandfather was famous for his bravery when he was young, and he was enlisted to defend the border several times, and he was able to return home safely every time. It really is not a fluke."

Qi Jing was taken aback, knowing that the master would be wrong, thinking that he killed Lu Yunzi by means passed on by his grandpa, but he still couldn't hide his surprise: "My grandpa did go to war, but never He refused to tell me in detail, let alone heard of his bravery."

Hearing this, Master Meng smiled noncommittally: "Let's talk about yourself. Ordinary people have such adventures, even if they sacrifice their lives, there are very few people who refuse to do so. Riches and wealth, grievances and hatred, life is in a hurry. For ten years, I only care about these things."

"As for the lifespan of blood essence and spiritual afterlife, they are all invisible and intangible things. Wouldn't it be a good deal to exchange them for the wanton happiness of this life?"

Qi Jingzhi heard the sarcasm in Mengfuzi's words, and immediately smiled frankly: "Students have limited knowledge, so they can't tell whether what the spirit said is true or not, so they have no choice but to not believe it at all. I just saw the master's tricks, so I believed it." There is a spirit after death. Fortunately, I have never been bewitched by it to do foolish things beyond regret."

"It is very rare for you to be able to maintain this sobriety. The reason why people are human and what you are, this spirituality is the most important thing, and you must not give up easily."

Master Meng praised, and suddenly seemed to think of something, he laughed dumbly and said: "Although the soul is different from the dead and ghosts, and is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld, it has nothing to do with Chen Ersu, but it pretended to repay the favor and killed the other party. The spirit of the empress, this violates the rules of the Yin Division. If the hands are clean, it’s fine, but you are the witness.”

"It's a pity that you didn't know my identity before today, otherwise you wouldn't have to take the risk of fighting. You just need to stabilize it first, and then follow me to testify in front of the town god of this county, and call out a few grievances for Chen Er, please issue a summons order. There is a saying that gods are as majestic as prison, and laws are ruthless, so when that guy comes to the hall, can't he just turn his hand and get rid of it?"

"Shall I go to the City God to complain for Chen Er?"

Qi Jingzhi almost thought he was on the wrong side, and said in surprise: "Chen Er was misfortune to the next life, so of course there is a grievance. I also told that spirit last night that I want to seek justice for Chen Er. But I killed this person after all. , if I go to appeal for his grievances, will I not be taken down on the spot by the City God and taken to hell to be punished?"

Master Meng shook his head, and showed a meaningful smile to the young man: "I just said that the world is the world, and the underworld is the underworld. They cannot be generalized."

"It seems to me that there is no difference. It is nothing more than someone in the court who is easy to handle."

Qi Jingzhi slandered, although he didn't dare to say it, his face still showed some disapproval.

When Master Meng saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Let me lead the way, but it's just to save some procedures. Ordinary people have grievances, go to the Temple of the City God to offer three sticks of incense, and pray about the matter, and the Lord City God will naturally know. If the case is complicated, you can't say it." I have to go to the Yin Division in my sleep and explain clearly, otherwise, where do the legends about the Yin Division come from in this world?"

"You ask me how to deal with ghosts, gods, and monsters in front of me. Regardless of the practitioners, mortals will naturally ask for help from ghosts and gods when they encounter such things. There is no mountain god in Xiaosongshan. Make it clear, there are always some places beyond the reach of the whip, otherwise how can a mere spirit be allowed to be reckless?"

"I see."

Qi Jingzhi nodded to show that he was educated, thought about it seriously, and then asked again: "Master just said that the laws of the human world and the Yin Division are different, and that the spirit killed Chen Er, who had never had anything to do with it, which violated the rules of the Yin Division. Article... Then in the eyes of ghosts and gods, if there is something involved, for example, is it a crime for the soul to swallow the spiritual blood after fulfilling the host's wish? The soul kills and steals for the host, is the host or the soul guilty?"

"Oh? Your two questions hit the nail on the head."

Hearing the young man's question, Meng Fuzi seemed extremely interested, and asked back with a smile: "You have always had an idea in your heart, so you must be talking about it right now, why don't you talk about it first?"

Qi Jingzhi pondered for a while, and replied: "The student thinks this way. Although the spirit feeds on the spiritual blood of the host, the price is clearly marked in advance, and there is no deceit. As the master said, everyone's requirements are different. Whether it is worth the transaction or not, others may say whether it is worth it."

"If there is a person who bears bloody hatred but is unable to avenge it, even if he gives his life to him in exchange for revenge, he must be willing. If a person is about to starve to death, it is worthless to him to sacrifice his life. Yuan and even the next life are sold, in exchange for a huge amount of money and ten years of wealth, I am afraid there will be no hesitation. After all, it is the fault of oneself and no one else. In my opinion, the spirit devours the host according to the agreement, and it should not be considered a crime. "

Hearing this, Mencius suddenly chuckled, nodded and said: "There is no way for misfortune and good fortune, but man invites himself, good and evil are reciprocated, and shadows follow each other. These people who make deals with souls are obsessed with love, hatred, hatred, and ignorance. All of them are stupid and greedy! The karma gained by the soul eating them is really very little. The Yin Division really doesn't care about such things."

He commented a few words, and then asked with great interest: "Speaking of your second question, although the soul is entrusted by the host, it is also true that it kills and steals property. Isn't it evil? No Should there be retribution?"

"Naturally doing evil!"

Qi Jingzhi replied without hesitation: "But if you want to talk about the crimes of murder and theft, it is the host who has the intention first, and then Lingpo does it. Lingpo is suspected of instigating, but in the final analysis, the real evil is the The host is not the soul. If there is karma coming down, it should also fall on the head of the host?"

Master Meng hummed lightly, and commented again: "On the mind, regardless of deeds... Your remarks are a bit like a sinister law. The evil karma of killing and stealing by the spirit soul on behalf of the host really has to be counted on the host's head." It’s just that you are wrong about one thing, instigating evil is no less than committing evil yourself, and sometimes it even exceeds it, which is also the same as talking about the mind regardless of deeds.”

"I see……"

Qi Jingzhi immediately accepted the teaching with an open mind, and after thinking about it for a while, it seems that Lu Yunzi's previous business transactions were mostly begged by the host, but he was reserved. It was only after meeting himself that he became overly eager.

Master Meng waved his hand and said, "According to what you said just now, if the spirit soul didn't take the initiative to instigate it, wouldn't it be wrong for it to kill and steal for its host?"

Qi Jingzhi shook his head again: "Domestic dogs bite people indiscriminately, wild beasts cannibalize people wantonly, and they should be killed immediately, let alone souls? What the student said just now only talked about good and evil. However, apart from good and evil, we should also distinguish between ourselves and the enemy."

"Since we were born as human beings, no matter if they are gods, demons or ghosts, no matter what the reason is, if we dare to harm innocent people, we should resolutely eradicate them!"

Hearing this, Master Meng couldn't help applauding and said: "Although what you said is not in line with the laws of the underworld, and some places are even beyond the authority of Daqi's ghosts and gods, it is the right opinion of a human race!"

"It's a pity that there is only one kind of person in this world. One does not distinguish between good and evil, and the other does not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. He opens his mouth to benevolent and righteous, but shuts his mouth to forgive. The pedantic and sour smell is in his bones. He is simply hopeless! After this kind of people die, they will pull out their tongues in some cases. Go through hell!"

　The author who traveled back after more than two months wanted to say: Since the publication of the book, the comments aroused by this chapter have been non-stop. I don’t know how to follow the gods, but some book friends are very disgusted with ghosts and ghosts, good and evil are enemies, and they think it’s the Virgin, it’s preaching, and it’s a piece of shit that is neither fairy nor chivalrous at all. The book will not become popular (it was not popular when I wrote this passage), and even sentenced the book to death. Some people even expressed emotionally and earnestly that the author has gone crazy and walked on evil paths. Prediction, if you don't wake up, you will send the author to the stake to be burned to death. .People have different views. I have always understood and respected this, but I really can’t understand why reading an online novel is so bitter and hateful, and there is such a condescending chain of contempt. It can even be said to be Deep-rooted prejudice?What's wrong with writing about ghosts and ghosts, and talking about good and evil, and the enemy is just preaching to readers?According to this standard, Tales from a Liaozhai Studio should not have been handed down to this day, and Journey to the West is not worthy of being called a masterpiece.Of course, if it’s because of my bad writing, if it’s because I’m not good at writing, then I can totally accept this kind of criticism.But if some book friends think that this kind of subject matter should not be written about, otherwise it is not a certain type of literature in your mind, then there is really no need.Having said all of this, I was really surprised by the medical certificate that I had become obsessed with, so I couldn't vomit.Finally, I wish all the readers a smooth life, stay away from the book shortage, and live every day happily!
