Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 503 Bad Immortal Fate

Li Xiuyuan admitted that he drew the paper figurines, but the paper figurines themselves are not his. It would be absurd if this is counted as evidence.

The drunken Taoist took out the paper figurine, all the Taoist priests and Master Zixu looked at it, and they could all recognize at a glance that the paper used for this paper figurine was the yellow paper used in Taoist temples, and outsiders could not buy it.

"It's true that the paper figurine belongs to the mountain gate, why did it fall into your hands." Master Zixu asked.

It was about Li Xiuyuan, and all the Taoists couldn't figure out the cause of the incident, so they could only interrogate him in the most primitive way.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Now I have to ask Master Zui Taoist why his things fell into my hands."

The drunk Taoist immediately said: "This paper man was cut and folded by the poor man in his spare time. After one use, he discarded it. As for why the poor man's paper man appeared in the mountains and turned into a beauty to confuse the poor man." My apprentice, the whole story is also not very clear."

He was so drunk all day that he didn't care about these trivial things, he lost a few paper dolls, and he couldn't remember when he lost them.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Uncle Master doesn't remember or doesn't want to say?"

"What does Nephew Li mean by that?" The drunken Taoist looked at him and said, "Could it be that the poor Taoist would hide the truth?"

"People have selfishness, and those who practice Taoism also have selfishness. Cultivation of Taoism is to overcome the seven emotions and six desires, not to cut off the seven emotions and six desires. If there is no desire, you will not be obsessed with cultivating immortals. Masters, uncles, real people, to be honest, there is no A person who has become an immortal and attained the Tao, so it is okay to have some selfishness.

understand. "

Li Xiuyuan stood up from the futon and said, "Since my uncle doesn't know, why don't I tell you the cause and effect of this matter?"

"Master nephew has something to say in his heart, but it's okay to say it." The drunken Taoist said humanely.

At this moment, Ling Fengzi, who was lying on the ground, trembled in his heart, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at him and said, "Three days ago, Cheng Le, Zhou Cai and I went up the mountain together. The two of them are secular people. They came here to visit the immortals and ask questions. I respected my master's order and returned to the mountain gate." When we were studying the Fa, when the three of us were walking up the mountain that day, we suddenly saw three beautiful fairies coming from

Walked down the hill and tried to confuse the three of us and take us down the hill. "

"There is such a thing?" Many Taoists were surprised, and then frowned.

There is fog in the mountain to lock the mountain, which is enough to deal with ordinary people, and can confuse ordinary people very well, so that they can return to the foot of the mountain. Why do three fairies appear to confuse people who ask for immortality?

Isn't this superfluous.

I'm afraid it's not superfluous, but deliberately making things difficult

Li Xiuyuan continued: "Of course, these three fairies are not real fairies. In my eyes, they are paper figurines, beauties transformed by magic. Zhou Cai and Cheng Le couldn't see through. The former was confused and went down the mountain, while the latter Good comprehension, was pointed out, woke up from the confusion and then joined me

up the hill. "

"On the way, I took a paper figurine, added a few strokes, changed the clothes and appearance, cast a spell and sent it back. As for the result, I don't know, but three days ago, I was in the mysterious light technique of the drunk Taoist uncle. If you don't believe me when you see Ling Fengzi and that beauty making fun of each other,
Uncle Shi can testify, and Cheng Le can testify. "

As soon as these words came out, the drunken Taoist's expression changed immediately, and he became more sober from the drunkenness. He looked at Ling Fengzi who was lying on the ground in surprise and anger.

If this matter is true, it must be that Ling Fengzi first cast a spell to make things difficult for Li Xiuyuan to go up the mountain, and then the following things happened.

"Ling Fengzi, have you used three paper figurines to cast spells down the mountain to confuse Martial Nephew Li?" The drunk Taoist stood up and asked sternly.

At this moment, Ling Fengzi panicked and quibbled: "Back to Master, this disciple cast a spell that day, but this disciple didn't know Brother Li. He just thought that there were three or four mortals going up the mountain, and the fog in the mountain would not be able to confuse them, so he used some spells to lure some of them. When people go down the mountain, didn't the master pass down the ban on closing the mountain? The apprentice is in charge of the mountain.

Regarding matters related to Zhonghe Changshou Town, they naturally dare not violate the prohibition and let mortals go up the mountain. "

He concealed his own selfishness, and said the matter was just to maintain the ban on the mountain gate, not to cast spells on purpose, and Li Xiuyuan and the others were only incidentally implicated.

The drunk Taoist immediately calmed down his anger when he heard the words, he said: "Master Zixu, the matter has come to light, how should this matter be resolved?"

Master Zixu pondered for a moment and said: "Lingfengzi doesn't know the visitors from the mountain, so he casts spells to help, but it is to maintain the peace in the mountain. After all, there has been a ban before, and the mountain is closed for cultivation. Those who enter the world of mortals are not allowed to return to the master's school unless it is a serious matter. It is also a fact that he violated the rules of the school. As for Li Xiuyuan, but
It's just returning the spell. Ling Fengzi was confused because of his weak heart. This is because he didn't practice enough. "

"This matter was a misunderstanding, so we stopped here. Since it was an unintentional act, there is no need to pursue it anymore. Ling Fengzi was confined for [-] days as a punishment. Do you have any opinions on how to deal with this?"

All the Taoists were silent when they heard the words, apparently acquiescing to this result.

However, some Taoists vaguely felt that Ling Fengzi released the three paper figurines not because he wanted to maintain the cleanliness of the mountain gate, but perhaps because he really wanted to make things difficult for Li Xiuyuan.

However, there is no evidence for this matter, and the whole story cannot be calculated, so it can only be vaguely exposed.

"Pindao has no objection. Since this matter is a misunderstanding, let's stop here." The drunk Taoist said.

"Thank you, real person, thank you master. I am not firm in my path, and I am confused by my own spells. After returning home, I must practice diligently and stop casting spells indiscriminately, which will bring bad retribution." Ling Fengzi's body trembled slightly, and he felt a big pine in his heart. tone.

Fortunately, I was clever and found an excuse, otherwise I'm afraid I can't hide this matter today.

Master Zixu took a deep look at him and said: "It's best if you do it unintentionally, but if you do it on purpose, the catastrophe will come suddenly, and you will end up harming yourself. Li Xiuyuan is a saint in the world, and those who practice Taoism are the most taboo." It is to get involved with cause and effect, if there is a good cause, there should be a good result, if there is an evil cause, it should be
The fruit of evil, the fruit of good and evil, is ten times stronger on him than ordinary people, and everything needs to be done by himself, so go. "

However, when the dust settled, Li Xiuyuan suddenly said: "I don't think this kind of handling is appropriate."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Dao Hall looked at him in unison.

It's all turned into a big thing and a small thing, but Li Xiuyuan wants to jump out at this time.

"I don't know what the nephew thinks is wrong?" the drunk Taoist looked at him and said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Ling Fengzi's Taoism is not strong, he is too vulgar, and he will be confused by a small paper figure. I think he should make another move. He violated the rules of the teacher's school. To confuse people with magic is not only to fight with each other, but also to confuse ordinary people with magic. This seems to be the same thing
Love, but there are two things. Zhou Cai went down the mountain because of his confusion, and lost his fairy fate. Cheng Le would have gone down the mountain if I hadn't reminded him. May I ask, is it fair to deal with two things and only one thing? "

As soon as these words came out, Ling Fengzi, who was originally relieved, became frightened again. He said anxiously to Li Xiuyuan: "Zixu Master has already settled this matter, don't bother me anymore, Xiaodao has already admitted his mistake, isn't that enough? ?”

"It's not that I don't forgive you, it's just that I'm fighting for the other two. You cast spells to confuse me, and I can be magnanimous, but you cast spells to confuse mortals. I don't know how to deal with it according to the rules of the master? This is a Return to one code, take it easy, how can you only solve one thing
What about Chengle, Zhou Cai and the others in vain?Is it just because I am a saint on earth and they are just ordinary people? "

Li Xiuyuan looked at the Zixu real person and said.

The drunken Taoist glanced at Li Xiuyuan and said: "As I said before, the mountain gate has been closed and no mortal disciples will be accepted. Even if Ling Fengzi does not miss their fairy fate, they will not be able to enter the mountain gate."

"That's not right. If you can't enter the mountain gate, it's not up to the senior uncle. Senior uncles, senior brothers, isn't there anyone who wants to accept apprentices?" Li Xiuyuan said: "Besides, what is immortal fate? Nong Wusuo Mountain, mortals are obviously not allowed to enter, but there are still people who can enter the mountain gate by chance, this is
It's Xianyuan. "

"When the fate comes, the rules will no longer exist. I think Master Tong just said that the mountain gate is closed for pure cultivation. It's not that there is no strict order for mortals to go up the mountain, right? Otherwise, no one will be circling at the foot of the mountain every day. People don't have celestial ties, so they can't go up mountains, but Zhou Cai and Cheng Le can

Going up the mountain is their destiny, what do real people think? "

Master Zixu nodded when he heard the words, and said: "This is very good, this is what a cultivator should say. Closing the mountain does not mean that mortals are forbidden to go up the mountain. Since you have broken the magic in the mountain, you can go up the mountain and enter the Taoist temple. If you Those who have the root of cultivation can be accepted as apprentices and teach the law of longevity."

As soon as these words came out, the drunk Taoist felt bad.

If things become like this, Ling Fengzi's cultivation career will be ruined.

What a cause and effect this is for the bad guys.

Even if you are entangled for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, it won't end, unless you can return someone else's fairy fate, otherwise, if the two fall into reincarnation, Ling Fengzi will be killed by that Zhoucai every life, Accidental death, even if it is sheltered by blessings, it will be entangled endlessly, and it will not be pure for life after life
.

As for this life, it is impossible for Ling Fengzi to succeed in cultivation.

The higher your morality, the greater the karma to be resolved in the future. If you really become a fairy, it will be even more terrible. You have to let that week become a fairy, otherwise when the catastrophe comes, the fairy will also fall into the mortal world. into reincarnation.

Therefore, Ling Fengzi's cultivator had already died before he left.

"I don't know if the bad guys are destined to be immortal, is there any rule in the sect to punish them?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Master Zixu nodded and said: "Yes, take back the spell, practice the Tao, and drive out of the teacher's school. With such a cause and effect, there is no hope of becoming a fairy, and it is useless to stay in the mountain gate."

People who cultivate the Tao have feelings, but they are also ruthless.

Taoists in the mountains seek to become immortals. If you have no hope of becoming immortals, even a glimmer of hope, what are you doing in the mountains?Naturally, I want to drive you down the mountain, so don't cause trouble for Shimen.

Of course, this rule is not for Ling Fengzi, it is the same for all cultivators.

For example, those Taoists in the world of mortals who are robbed are not a big deal, they have to be allowed, and they are not allowed to go back to the mountain gate. Take the blind Taoist as an example, since he left the mountain gate, he only went back to the mountain gate once. Consummation, you have to cultivate the Jindan Dao before returning to the mountain gate.

On the other hand, Taoist Mu died outside the body and did not return to the mountain gate after becoming a city god, as if he died when he died, and no one would care about you.

The reason for this is very simple, that is, they are afraid that Taoist priests in the world of mortals will bring back the calamity and implicate their practitioners.

But Ling Fengzi panicked when he heard that he might withdraw his teachings and drive out of the teacher's school.

He hurriedly said: "My real man, Xiaodao doesn't know about this matter. How can Xiaodao know cause and effect through such a practice, and how can those two mortals have a fairy fate? Xiaodao is not willing to be punished like this. Master, master, just say something." .”

Seeing his disciple's helpless look, the drunk Taoist couldn't help saying: "Although this matter is small, it involves a lot, and we can't drive away the poor disciple just because of one-sided words."

"Then what does Uncle Master mean?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"Testing the immortal fate, if the two have a fairy fate, Pindao will abolish his Taoism, take away his magic spells, and send him down the mountain. If there is no immortal fate, then there is no cause and effect. Ling Fengzi deceives people with magic spells What do you think of the punishment for the crime, Nephew Li?" said the drunk Taoist.

"Yes." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

"Recently, there were two visitors in the mountain. One was Cheng Le, a mortal who went up the mountain with Li Xiuyuan, and the other was Zhang Shi, the son of a medicine merchant in Changshou Town. The former entered the mountain gate thanks to Li Xiuyuan's blessing, and the latter was My father bought medicinal materials for the mountain gate many times, owed the cause and effect, and won your Daotong master ancestor

He was given a talisman, so he was not fascinated by the thick fog and entered the mountain gate. "Reverend Zixu said at this moment: "As for the other person Zhou Cai, which fellow Taoist will go down the mountain? "

"Let's go, poor Taoist." A Taoist stood up without saying much, and strode away quickly.

"As for the outcome of the matter, let's discuss it after the three of you arrive."
