If you follow a certain family to kill, that family will be confident that they don’t have such sinful karma as yours."

Yan Chixia hesitated for a moment, "As for why this is so, it's not something that anyone can explain."

"I wonder if the temple master can help me understand my confusion?"

Mu Jingrou saw that although Ling Qing was silent, she was not as confused as Yan Chixia, so she asked.

Seeing her doubts, Lingqing didn't answer directly, but changed the subject and said.

"Both of Pindao's parents died when he was young, and only his family ancestors took care of him.

For this reason, the ancestors of the family were obsessed with preserving their health and prolonging their lives in order to be able to marry the poor and have a family. However, when they were old, they died.

Later, with the support of the elders in the clan, he learned some principles and continued to live in confusion.

Only for the sake of family ancestors and family relatives can we not fall into the wrong path.

Because of this experience, I just want to live and have no intention of loving others.

He doesn't care about good or evil, he only doesn't abandon others because he loves them.

Later, he acquired a natural art by chance. What he was looking for was a way to gain power from the nature of heaven and earth.

However, the behavior of heaven is always constant, and it does not exist for Yao or perish for Jie. In the words of Duke Yangming, it can be said that it is a body without kindness or disgust.

Naturally, there is neither good nor evil in heaven and earth, and power cannot do good or evil. So all good and evil are done by the mind of a poor man.

However, although the thoughts of good and evil in Pindao's heart were uncertain, with this power, the thoughts of his family ancestors inspired Pindao's thoughts of immortality.

However, although this technique is wonderful, it is only a way to prolong life, but not a way to immortality.

Then I heard that there are many people who practice immortality and Taoism in ancient temples in the mountains, and they have a wonderful recipe for immortality.

Immediately he went to ask for it, but fortunately the master was kind enough to hide it behind the door wall, cut firewood and give him the magic recipe and teach the poor moral principles.

From then on, I began to understand that immortality values ​​life and cannot measure people.

Now we know that all sentient beings have spirituality. We should cleanse our bodies, abstain from delusion, and cultivate our moral character.

When you realize that you have kind thoughts in your heart and pursue immortality, you should unite yourself with a kind heart and save yourself and others."

After recalling the past in this life for a while, he made his mind clear and his mind clear, and he suddenly felt as clear as day.

Then he refreshed himself, shook the dust in his hand, and smiled again.

"You are doing a good job here. Although you kill people, you don't offend me.

However, Pindao came to my door and used himself to seduce Xiaoqian and others and you to kill me. Is this the same as your seduction with wealth and sex?"

"This..." Mu Jingrou didn't know what he meant for a moment, so she hesitated and didn't speak.

"She uses wealth and sex to lure others into greed, and then kills them.

And you used your own life to seduce her greed, and then you could say you killed her."

Seeing that Mu Jingrou was not able to answer, Yan Chixia thought for a while and said.

"It seems there is no difference, but the result is one evil and one good, so naturally there is a difference."

"exactly."

Ling Qing nodded towards Yan Chixia, then looked at Mu Jingrou and asked.

"Then do you know what the difference is?"

"Is it because I killed them and you didn't kill us?"

She thought for a while and said the differences that could be seen with a clear eye.

"Although there is, it is not the main thing."

Lingqing nodded, shook his head and said.

"The most important thing is the heart, the thoughts of good and evil.

A gentleman once said something like this:

If you do good deeds intentionally, you will not be rewarded even if you do good deeds; if you do evil deeds unintentionally, you will not be punished even if you do evil deeds.

It can be seen that whether it is good or evil depends entirely on the goodness and evil of the mind.

However, if you do evil unintentionally, even if you are not punished, it is still evil and has its sins; if you do good intentionally, although you are not rewarded, it is still good and has its virtues.

Therefore, Taoism has a saying: Do no evil, practice all good deeds, do not fall into karma, and always live in a prosperous age.

Furthermore, unintentional goodness is the highest goodness.

Because he often advises people: Just do good deeds and don’t ask about the future.

However, unintentional evil is a small evil, but intentional evil must be the most evil. Do you understand this?"

"The master of the temple said that it was only because Taoist Chixia killed people with a kind heart and the purpose was to eliminate evil.

And it is not out of evil intentions, so not only is there no fault, but it is meritorious.

And I kill people out of disgust, just for my own selfishness, and it is all out of evil desires, so there is no merit or fault.

Therefore, although they are both murderers, they are different from good and evil."

Mu Jingrou thought for a moment and said, having a slight understanding of what Ling Qing meant.

"And the behavior of the temple master is actually no different from that of Taoist Master Yan. It's just that he didn't really kill us, but prohibited us from doing evil."

"Of course, the reason why Pindao says he doesn't have great compassion is also because of this heart."

Ling Qing nodded, flicked the whisk in his hand, and continued.

"This principle of saving people immeasurably has been learned and understood by Pindao.

However, although the principle is clear, it does not mean that it can be done.

A poor person loves himself more than he loves others, and his heart to save himself is better than his heart to save others.

What you think and do will not violate Master's teachings, but as long as it does not violate Master's teachings, everything you think and do will always put yourself first.

Pindao is a self-cultivation person, and the good and evil he does are all based on the laws of nature in his heart.

When a poor person acts in accordance with the laws of nature in his heart, he is doing good deeds.

If it is done by one's will, it will harm one's practice and be evil.

As long as it helps poor people practice, poor people actually don't mind.

Pindao took in Xiaoqian and others, suppressed you, and now wants to save you, even though it can be called a good deed.

But Pindao's original purpose was not for you, nor for those who were harmed by you, but for Pindao himself.

However, since this is the case, it is done intentionally and it will naturally fall into place.

So there is only small kindness, but no great compassion.

And as I told you before, although Pindao has a kind heart, he only pays it to those who have kind thoughts in his heart.

There are many powerful ghosts trapped in the earth evil tree. Since poor Taoist people seek this kind heart and merit, why don't they save them?

Because he has no good intentions and cannot be saved by poverty, he will not cause trouble.

Only those who have good thoughts in their hearts can save themselves by abandoning evil and promoting good. How can they save those who have no good intentions in their hearts?

Just like you did before, if you insist on having your own way, you will never change it until you die.

Although you are helpful to the poor Taoist, the poor Taoist can only send you ashes, and send a little bit of your true spirit to a clean reincarnation.

Rather than being presumptuous."

…

Between heaven and earth, humans, gods, ghosts and demons have their own laws of survival, and each has its own laws of nature.

As a demon, it's okay for you to eat dead people, but you don't do the ways of heaven.

It's okay to eat living people, and I don't do the ways of heaven.

Just because the laws of demons are like this.

So there are things like forced mating.

It’s karma if it’s done by humans, but it’s natural for demons to do it.

But after a demon has a human heart, it needs to be calculated according to human laws.

When it is like before, there is no sin in the first place.

But just because his mind has changed, he has sinned.

As a demon, Mu Jingrou was born a demon.

Originally, it was okay to kill someone, as long as she thought it was justice in her heart.

But she learned a lot about benevolence, righteousness and morality from the monks in the temple, and learned a lot about how to be a good person, thus nourishing her heart.

But this also became a restriction that bound her.

When she acts with a demon mentality and human means, she will naturally cause sin.
