Chapter 35 Taking People as Mirrors(2/2)

"That's right."

Shangguan Lingye nodded slightly: "Since you have reached this point with great perseverance, with your ability, you should continue to climb up the mountain. How can you stay in the team of envoys in a small country?"

"Does it conflict with following the envoys' team?"

Shangguan Lingye nodded: "Practice one way, one step slow, one step slow, staying in the worldly affairs will have a great impact on practice."

Zuo Lingquan understood the meaning of this imperial concubine. Facing the first time he met, he didn't want to talk to the person he had just met, but just shook his head and said:

"The Empress of the Concubine is also in the mortal world. The Demon Warriors think it is a place of plague. It seems that there is little difference between me and me as a guard in the envoy's team."

Shangguan Lingye raised his hand slightly and asked the surrounding palace maids to retreat, then shook his head and said:

"Privately, you can call me senior, and I can also call you the Immortal. I don't like others calling me the Imperial Concubine. I am different from you. I am not here voluntarily, but I am so mean by the orders of my master."

When Zuo Lingquan heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Senior mean, you have been in the secular imperial city for eighty years without your wish?"

Shangguan Lingye did not deny it:

"Accept the order."

Isn't that just that I don't want to...

Zuo Lingquan recalled a little: "In our Dadan, there was a senior who served as a national teacher in a barren land for decades in order to serve the court. His cultivation level was stagnant, and the final limit..."

"I'm the same. I only walked a few steps forward for eighty years. If nothing unexpected happens, in a few decades, I will die."

“…”

Zuo Lingquan blinked: "Senior made some mistakes?"

Shangguan Lingye talked to Zuo Lingquan today for this, and she said in a faint voice:

"I think I have heard of Dayan's reputation. I am not a traitor or evil person. I don't understand the intentions of the master, so I want to talk to you young people to see if I live too long and am so confused."

Zuo Lingquan understood the young lady’s intentions. He hesitated and asked:

"The determination and perseverance required to give up immortality and serve the country is quite strong. The seniors did not intend to do so, and they even couldn't understand the reason. How did they persist?"

Shangguan Lingye stroked the white cat and said softly:

"It is hard to violate the teacher's order."

Zuo Lingquan frowned slightly: "If it were a teacher who truly thought about his disciples, he would not use this method to force his disciples to marry someone he didn't like and stay in places he didn't want to stay for the rest of his life, thus breaking the disciple's avenue; destroying people for the rest of their lives, it would be a bit cruel to use against enemies, let alone treating his disciples, it would be better to kill them with one knife."

"I think so too. However, my teacher shouldn't deliberately destroy my avenue. Maybe I just didn't guess it."

Zuo Lingquan didn't think so: "The deadline is coming soon, and this life has been ruined. No matter how good the original intention is, what's the point?"

Seeing that Zuo Lingquan was the same as hers, Shangguan Lingye chuckled softly and looked up at Ji Hengshan:

"It seems that the fault is not on my side."

Zuo Lingquan felt that this senior was very pitiful and asked:

"Senior, since he thinks that the teacher will not harm you and is unwilling to do so, how did the teacher convince you at that time?"

“…”

Shangguan Lingye's eyes moved, and he withdrew his gaze, but did not respond to her that she hadn't even seen the ancestor. She just gave her a marriage letter. She thought the ancestor had a deep meaning, so she came over without asking...

Zuo Lingquan waited for a while, understood the meaning, and was a little unbelievable:

"The senior didn't ask, and when he was unwilling, he followed the orders and married someone he didn't like, and gave up the road and stayed in the mortal world?"

Shangguan Lingye was silent for a moment: "My teacher will have another profound meaning in the future, and it is for my future greatness."

Zuo Lingquan was a little confused: "For the sake of the Great Way of Eternity, I ignored the order I didn't like and married someone I didn't like?"

"That's right. This is how practice is. As long as you can obtain the great way, you have to bear the suffering that ordinary people cannot bear. I thought the teacher was for my own good, so I agreed."

Zuo Lingquan frowned: "Senior means that for the great way of immortality, even the word "love" can be abandoned; today, you can get married for the great way, and tomorrow, you can cut off the world. The past is gone by?"

Shangguan Lingye is even more thorough than this. She was born as an immortal and had no feelings for the world:

"I only seek the great way. I respect only my parents and teachers. I have no affection for others, so there is no saying of giving up."

"Aren't you married? The weight of love between men and women is only below parents..."

"I thought I was just here to be a worshiper, and I had a secular identity to cover up. From the first day I entered Beijing, I lived in the old city, and I had never worshipped the world, nor had I had an intersection with the emperor. The emperor and the queen had a deep affection and friendship, so I only regarded me as an immortal worshiper, thinking that I was supervising the court for my master, and even guarding me. I performed my duty in the capital and did my duty to worship. I have not owed Zhou for eighty years, so I would not be involved in cause and effect, nor would I be ruthless. Even if I left in the future, I would not have any inner demons."

After hearing this, Zuo Lingquan was a little unbelievable:

"The senior doesn't want to get married but still get married because he thinks that the teacher is thinking about your great way; after marrying someone, he has tied up with the secular marriage, and has painted a prison alone here for nearly a hundred years, so that there will be no inner demons on the great way in the future?"

"That's right."

"Then I have been here for eighty years now. Seeing that the deadline is approaching, my cultivation is still not improving. Why don't my seniors leave? I'm afraid that the teacher will punish me? I'm almost ruined in this life. If I punish you again, it won't be much worse than this."

Shangguan Lingye was silent for a moment: "I still feel that the teacher is thinking about my great way, but I didn't see through it."

Zuo Lingquan sighed when he heard the palace beauty’s three words, “The Great Way of Eternal Life”:

"I heard from my senior for so long that I feel that there is only the Great Way of Eternal Life in my heart, and everything else is irrelevant. Then I dared to ask, if I really got the Great Way, what are you going to do?"

Shangguan Lingye shook his head: "Before I attained enlightenment, no one knew what the great way was. When I reached that step, I naturally knew what to do."

That is, I don’t know how to practice for the sake of my practice…

Zuo Lingquan understood, he thought about it and asked:

"Seniors have anything to abandon the Great Way of Eternal Life for?"

Shangguan Lingye's eyes moved slightly, and after thinking about it, he spoke:

"The only one who can make me sacrifice my life for my parents is the teacher, but the teacher does not need my protection."

"Then give an example, if one day the commander passes away, will the senior completely cut off the world and have no worries?"

"right."

"Then if the senior finds out that he wants to live forever, he has to kill an innocent person. If he doesn't kill, he will not be able to get the great way. Should he kill him or not?"

“…”

Shangguan Lingye fell silent, frowned slightly, and did not answer.

This seemingly simple assumption is actually a very cruel question. Ninety-nine percent of people in the practice of practicing can’t answer with a clear conscience; she should have asked the teacher, but the teacher is not here.

"The way is not a joke, and this kind of problem will not occur."

Zuo Lingquan has just heard so much, and now he has roughly understood the character of this young lady. He shook his head and said:

"The senior will avoid this problem, which means he knows that he can't kill, but he wants to kill, right?"

“This kind of problem doesn’t make sense.”

"I have not learned much for a while, but if I ask myself, I can't understand the thoughts, and even mortals can't do well, so why can't I practice immortality? I feel that this question is meaningful."

"If you encounter this kind of choice, will you not kill?"

Zuo Lingquan shook his head and he would never encounter such a choice!

The purpose of his practice is to hold the sword in his own hands and not be influenced by others.

If you find that the Great Dao is contrary to the morality in his heart, it means that the Great Dao is wrong. He has to cut the Great Dao. If he can't cut it, he will practice until he can cut it. The road is taken by himself, and being led by chance, cultivation, and immortality is put before the horse.

"This is not a question of whether to kill or not. For example, in my Dadan Dynasty, the emperor asked me to kill a commoner and then reward me with high officials and generous salaries, and glory for generations. Normal people should not want to kill or not, but think that the emperor is a foolish monarch, and the Dadan Dynasty should change its course."

Shangguan Lingye was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Zuo Lingquan to answer like this.

After thinking carefully for a long time, she suddenly understood why the ancestor chose the wild boy in front of him to see things, which was indeed different from that of ordinary people...

Shangguan Lingye was silent for a moment and nodded slightly:

"It seems that I am wrong, and I haven't understood the deep meaning of the teacher."

Zuo Lingquan chuckled: "I don't feel that there is any deep meaning to guess. Immortals are all cultivated from humans. They should be self-confidence-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shangguan Lingye didn't say anything anymore, just rubbed the white cat and secretly got out of sight.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan didn't stay for long and stood up and said:

"That younger generation will say goodbye first."

Shangguan Lingye came back to his senses and smiled a little:

"Thank you for finding the raccoon back just now. Your princess bought a house in the city and asked someone to inquire about the arrangement of the formation. I will ask someone to arrange it later, so I will take it as a thank you."

"Senior, you are so kind."

"A foreign princess comes to my permanent residence. As the host, I should have fulfilled my friendship as a landlord. Okay, go back. If I have any questions in the future, I will ask you."

Zuo Lingquan bowed and turned around and left the stone pavilion.

Shangguan Lingye sat in the stone pavilion and watched Zuo Lingquan go away. He only frowned slightly after his back disappeared, as if he was thinking about the conversation just now.

It’s just that some things that are engraved in their bones when they are born, so how can they achieve great enlightenment just by saying something…—

The meaning of being born into an immortal is to draw a clear line with mortals from birth, knowing that they must stand on the nine heavens and see all living beings; the character like this in the book is Lao Lu, but Lao Lu later realized it and would write these later. After all, he could not write a book in one chapter.
