From the moment Master Tongtian began to preach, golden lotuses appeared in the void one after another, floated down, landed on the five people, slowly disappeared, and merged into their souls.
It was when the saint was preaching that flowers of truth fell from the sky, and in each of them there was a bit of the essence of the Tao flowing.
"What happened back then... there is no right or wrong!"
Tong Tian Sect Master slowly said: "Although there are grievances, everything is caused by people and varies according to feelings. There is no right or wrong...
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was dissatisfied and said, "Master, those two from the West..."
Master Tongtian sighed softly: "They are not wrong either."
"Big Brother is calm and steady, and he is the first to establish the teachings of mankind. He does not need to make any calculations, and he can live forever. Therefore, Big Brother advocates inaction. Because there is no need to do anything!"
"So-called living beings, so-called races, no matter how they transcend in the end, they will eventually transform into humans."
"Turtle Spirit, when you transformed from a black tortoise before, why did you transform into the appearance of a human female fairy? Do you understand the reason behind this?" asked the leader.
“Disciple…” Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was sweating profusely, “Disciple didn’t think much about it that day. It was only today, after hearing what Master said, that I vaguely understood.”
"Well, it's actually very simple. It can be summed up in four words: people-oriented."
Tongtian Sect Master said calmly: "For example... people from the Western Sect, for example... people from the demon clan, for example, people from the spirit clan, for example, people from the Chan Sect, for example... people from the Jie Sect."
"Have you ever heard of: Xi in the Western Religion? Ling in the Spirit Tribe? Chan in the Chan Religion? Jie in the Jie Religion... such a saying?"
"Never."
"Even if they are born as living beings, they will eventually walk in this world and become human beings. Just like your Junior Brother Kong Xuan, when I am with you, am I always like a peacock that glitters in the sky and spreads its feathers? And your Senior Brother Duobao..."
Taoist Duobao started coughing and covering his mouth with his hands. Even though he was usually calm and composed, he actually looked embarrassed.
After all, I have been a Buddha for many years, Master, please give me some face...
Tongtian Sect Master smiled and did not expose his eldest disciple's shortcomings. Instead, he continued, "For example, when you discuss the Dao with each other, when all the immortals gather together, it can't be that all turtles, peacocks, mice, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards gather together to discuss the Dao, right? Would that scene be worth watching?"
Zuo Xiaoduo and Zuo Xiaonian subconsciously made associations, and just that scene made them finally unable to help but burst out laughing.
I feel that what this senior said is not only vivid, but also humorous, and just a few words are fascinating.
But I didn’t see the black line flash across Duobao Taoist’s forehead.
I couldn't escape it after all... although it was a little more obscure.
“But at the beginning, Master Uncle’s choice was…” Holy Mother Turtle Spirit said again.
"Well, but it's still not about right or wrong. The only difference is the standpoint." Tongtian said warmly: "From the standpoint of the human religion, if the Jie religion flourishes, all lives will be destroyed."
"What about the Second Uncle?"
"What your Second Uncle did... was just going with the flow, and there was no right or wrong. He just happened to stand on the side of your First Uncle. It's said that it was a dispute between the Chan and Jie sects, but it's actually a generalization and a far-fetched conclusion."
"What interests can there be for the two religions to compete for? If there is no interest to compete for, how can there be any opposition?"
"In the previous calamity, our Jie Sect was defeated. This is an indisputable fact. But did the Chan Sect win? How did it win?"
Master Tongtian said in a chuckle.
"Disciple understands."
Duobao and others pondered and nodded.
Yes, during the Conferred God Tribulation, it was said that it was a contest between the Jie Sect and the Chen Sect. In the end, the Jie Sect was certainly defeated, but did the Chen Sect win
Where is the win
Is it prosperous
"Well, so at the beginning, you have to think of a word, the word Chan in Chanjiao, what does Chan mean? It means to explain! So, to whom should we explain?"
"Of course, it is to explain it to all living beings." Taoist Duobao seemed to be thinking about something.
"What is the origin of life?"
"people oriented."
"Well, at the end of the day, when it comes down to it, it's always people first!"
Master Tongtian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since everyone has the same destination, then where is the right and wrong, where is the right and wrong? All things return to one, it is not just talk."
"As for the West... their various methods may seem unbearable, despicable, or unscrupulous to us, but if we put ourselves in their shoes, we will find that it makes sense. If they don't do that, how can they hope to rise?"
"If they continue to follow the trend of the times, they will not have the opportunity to preach in Middle-earth."
"Because they are ultimately foreigners."
"And the reason why they are determined to achieve the Western prosperity by any means and at any cost is just for their own interests? No!"
"What benefit is there? Both of us have bodies that have been indestructible for countless kalpas, so what benefit is there to fight for?"
Tongtian Patriarch said softly: "The true meaning of what they did was determined by themselves long ago. Their teachings are correct, feasible, and in line with the way of heaven and human nature. They can educate and enlighten all living beings. Therefore, even if they kill countless lives, even if they step into hell, they will do it, and move forward courageously and unwaveringly."
"This is their belief in their hearts. They always believe that they are right, just and on the right path."
"That's why there was a killing calamity between heaven and earth."
“That’s why the West does this.”
Everyone was thoughtful.
Patriarch Tongtian said slowly: "As for us, Jiejiao has fifty great ways and forty-nine heavenly evolutions. We must intercept the one that escapes from between heaven and earth, and seize a ray of hope for life."
"People often say that I teach everyone, and I accept anyone, regardless of whether they are ordinary people or not..."
Tong Tian Sect Master said: "But if it is not so, how can it be called Jie Sect? If it follows the will of heaven and obeys the way of heaven, then you are nothing but food for the human race. This is the nourishment of all things, with people as the foundation, and all are food for the mouth."
"Although life multiplies, it will eventually die and become food for others..."
"The word 'jie' in Jiejiao comes from this. It means to seize a glimmer of hope for the numerous races that should have been eaten. This is the original intention of Jiejiao's inheritance. If you were originally human, how could you say you want to seize a glimmer of hope?"
"So when Senior Brother said that I teach everyone, it was wrong. Little did I know that what he said was also wrong in my opinion."
Tong Tian Jiaozhu said softly: "My mistake is that I have accepted but not taught, and I have failed to pass on morality. This is the fundamental reason. After all, it is an indisputable fact that the Jiejiao immortals wreaked havoc on the prehistoric land. Those who killed living beings were indeed mostly Jiejiao immortals. This is well known and there is no point in arguing."
Taoist Duobao sat in deep thought and said slowly, "Yes."
"The Jie Sect is trying to seize a glimmer of hope for life, and the demon race also discovered that the protagonists of heaven and earth had changed after the rise of the human race. If they didn't fight, they would die. They had to fight. Deep down, they were fighting for that glimmer of hope. The witch race, the spirit race, and the demon race, in the final analysis, are all the same."
"The calamity of all living things depends only on a glimmer of hope for each of them to survive and continue their lineage. That's all."
"Different ideas, different positions, there is no right or wrong, no right or wrong. In the end, it's all like this."
The slow voice of Master Tongtian was like a morning bell and a dusk drum, expressing his sincere understanding for the behaviors of all ethnic groups.
"Then, what should we do in the future? What is the policy for the reopening of this catastrophe?" The Turtle Spirit Mother was a little confused: "Since no one is wrong, then..."
"Whether it's right or wrong, it never interferes with how we, the Jiejiao Immortals, do our work."
Tongtian Patriarch smiled faintly, but his eyes gradually revealed a sharpness: "They are not wrong, and we are naturally, even more so."
"So, we do things based on our own standpoints, whether to fight rebellion, seek justice, or settle grudges... These are what we believe they owe us."
"Our philosophy is not wrong! It can't be wrong! The original intention we uphold is as firm as that of Western religions. We are right to seize a glimmer of hope!"
"Right and wrong are just a matter of talking about victory or defeat."
Tongtian Sect Master said calmly: "Ji Ruduobao, if you go to Guangchengzi to settle the vengeance with the Fire Spirit, if you win, then you are right. But if you lose, then it is Guangchengzi who deserves to kill you."
"If you go to find Ran Deng to avenge Jin Ling, it will be the same, the same principle."
"Because there was no right or wrong in the catastrophe, it was just a matter of stance. Although there was no right or wrong, it didn't mean that your killing was in vain!"
"It would have been fine if Jiejiao had been defeated. But now that Jiejiao has risen again, those who owe us must get it back. We will wait until what we believe is fair. Then we can re-determine the rules of heaven and earth."
"This is the Way of Jiejiao!"
"We are not wrong either!"
The three disciples' eyes all lit up, and their hearts, which had been hanging in the air, were immediately relieved.
Yes, we were right!
"I, Jiejiao, have no intention of being an enemy of Chanjiao, but the justice we had in the past must be restored. I, Jiejiao, have no intention of being an enemy of Western Sect, but the justice we had in the past must be restored. I, Jiejiao, have no intention of being an enemy of the Human Sect, but the justice we had in the past must be restored. I, Jiejiao, have no intention of being an enemy of the demon race, but the justice we had in the past must be restored!"
Tong Tian Jiaozhu's words seemed tedious and repetitive, but the momentum contained in them rose up into the sky as he spoke each name, stirring the nine heavens!
Taoist Duobao breathed a sigh of relief and said in a serious voice, "Master is right. We should not cause trouble, but we need to regain justice in our hearts. Especially, the Western Church. When the three religions signed the Conferred God List, what does the Western Church have to do with it? Since he has intervened forcefully, he must pay the price for it!"
"What does this have to do with Lu Ya of the demon clan?"
"When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Since you pushed it in the first place, you must bear the consequences today!"
"Lu Ya, hehe, Lu Ya..."
Master Tongtian smiled faintly, hinting at something, but did not say anything else.
The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly depressing.
Now Zuo Xiaoduo also understood.
The Master Tongtian's meaning was very clear, and there were even some coincidences with his own ideas.
That is.
You have offended me.
I get it, I comprehend it, I know it, and I can also put myself in your shoes and consider it from your perspective. I don't think there is anything wrong with what you did.
But this doesn't stop me from settling accounts with you!
Because I am not wrong either!
… …
[All the inventory plus what I wrote today will be sent out together, so I can have a good time and continue to save. ]
I have pondered over these words of Master Tongtian for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to say that I have put all my energy into them.
That’s how I understand it.
Please give me a monthly ticket!
