Chang Jin initially felt that Huangfu Yuanwai's persuasion was not deeply felt.

Until not long ago, he practiced the "Twelve-Level Tower Visualization Sutra". Whenever the critical moment of gathering spiritual power, the Taoist ancestor would become like a Confucian saint, making him lose all his efforts.

After repeated incidents, Chang Jin had a guess in his mind that the Confucian spirit of greatness may have conflicts with the Taoist practice. After all, one emphasizes the birth of the world, and the other emphasizes the entry into the world.

Perhaps there are great Confucian scholars who can integrate Confucianism and Taoism, but with their current insights, they obviously cannot do this.

This setback also made Chang Jin think about the three boundaries.

He was originally a person with great wisdom. He had already vaguely understood this issue before, but he didn't have much feelings. Now that he thought about it carefully and looked through Taoist scriptures, Chang Jin had a new understanding of the three boundaries.

Let’s talk about the Taoist temple first. From the time of rebirth to this world, Chang Jin felt that the Taoist temple here was very different from the earth in his previous life. In addition to the manifestation of supernatural powers, there is another characteristic that although the Taoist temple is powerful, there are not many Taoist temples built in the secular world.

Take Yuqing Dao as an example. Not every county town has a Taoist temple, and even few disciples walk among the world.

Why is this? The Taoist temple has the magical power to destroy the world, and has Taoist techniques to cure diseases and eliminate evil, and eliminate demons... All kinds of methods are not available to the government.

If the Taoist court wants to leave the government behind, govern the country with Tao and rule the people, it should live easily. But in fact, it has never been heard that Taoist lords have become kings or emperors in the secular world.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, Chang Jin gradually understood that it is impossible to replace it if it is not the Taoist temple.

If the three paths of human, immortal and god are compared to a big tree, then humanity is the mainstay of the big tree, and the two paths of immortal and god are important branches above.

From ancient times to the present, humanity has been passed down for thousands of years and has undergone dozens of dynasties. It seems that every dynasty has changed, but the essence has not changed. It is the government who governs the people and brings together the spirit of governing the people.

Over time, over thousands of years, this kind of fortune is quite terrible. If the Taoist temple wants to replace it, they may not be able to bear the backlash of humanity.

The imperial court appointed officials from all over the country to govern. Although they did not know the supernatural powers, their human fortune still made the practitioners afraid.

Therefore, in the secular affairs of the government government, as long as the two paths of immortals and gods are not involved, most Taoist courts will not interfere.

If it is involved, it will be counterattacked by humanity and reduce its own luck. Few Taoist priests are willing to do such things. In order to prevent disciples from causing harm to the Taoist sect, the Taoist sect did not practice Taoist temples everywhere.

This is the way of immortality, and the same is true for the way of god. It’s just that now the way of god is declining and has become a vassal of immortality.

The Taoist temple does not have a wide range of Taoist temples. Another reason is that the land of river gods under the rule is that most of these gods are enshrined by Taoist temples, so they can naturally act as the eyes and ears of Taoist temples. If any problems arise under the rule, they must report them.

After all, although the two paths of immortals and gods seem to be superior, they have never been the masters of this world. They can influence humanity in a subtle way, but if they directly use supernatural powers to deal with secular changes, they will be backfired by humanity. This should be the three rules mentioned by the practitioners and gods.

After Dong Sheng proposed to "abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism" a thousand years ago, Confucianism was completely integrated into humanity.

Chang Jin was a scholar, so he naturally received favor from the human world, but he practiced the Taoist Dharma and was not tolerated by the human world. If he continued for a long time, he would definitely be backfired.

If you are willing to give up, you have to give up and gain, you can reasonably come to this conclusion that Chang Jin should give up something. But he is not like giving up simply.

If we follow the old ways and are bound by rules everywhere, we will not be able to be the Chang Jin now.

In Chang Jin's mind, there should be some balance in the three paths, and I don't know it now.

He had already made up his mind to take a path of his own in this world. Therefore, this possibility must be tried, and even if it fails in the end, he will not change it easily.

"Since you have decided, be careful." Looking at Chang Jin's Gangyi's gaze, Bai Susu knew that she could not change him, so she could only nod and support him.

The straight-line distance between the two prefectures of Fengtai in Huyang is only a few hundred miles. If the sisters Chang Jin and Bai Susu use their magical powers to walk, they will arrive in a few hours.

Now that Wang Qinian is around you, he is inconvenient to show his magical powers, so he can only take a boat to walk slowly. Yingshui is winding, so he has to go half of the wrong way.

The big ship they were riding was a cargo ship, filled with cargo in it, and it was much slower when walking on the water than ordinary civilian ships.

In addition, when the big ship almost stops to load and unload goods whenever it arrives at a ferry, it stops and stops, and has not arrived at Fengtai Mansion for several days. If the guests are in a hurry to go, they will make a sound and urge them to get up early.

Chang Jin was not in a hurry to travel. He either sat in the cabin to study during the day or stood on the deck to watch the scenery, and was indescribable at ease.

Of course, it is also because Bai Susu is by her side. With beautiful things, no matter how ordinary the scenery is or how trivial things are, they will find it interesting.

This is human nature and has nothing to do with practicing Taoism.

Fearing that Wang Qinian was shocked, he did not inform his true identity of Bai Susu's sisters. If Wang Qinian learned that the woman he was walking with was transformed into a big python they encountered when they went to Wanshan Mansion to participate in the mansion examination, he would most likely faint.

On that day, the ship was nearly a hundred miles away from Fengtai Prefecture City. Chang Jin and Wang Qinian were playing chess in the cabin. Suddenly, they heard the crowds of people in front of them and gongs and drums were ringing.

Everyone on the boat was alarmed and got out of the cabin and looked forward.

When Chang Jin stood at the bow and looked into the distance, he saw dozens of large and small ships moored on a water surface several miles away, with people standing on it, including a large ship and a few Taoist priests doing it. It seemed that something had happened.

He turned around and found that Bai Susu's eyes were also confused.

"What happened before, so lively..."

"Boatman, hurry up and take a look"

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion on the entire cargo ship.

The owner of the boat also wanted to watch the fun. When he heard the guests shouting, he asked his subordinates to speed up.

It took several miles of water to arrive in just one stick of incense.

When the cargo ship arrived nearby, several sailors threw the anchor into the bottom of the river to fix it. The ship owner looked around a few times, and saw an acquaintance and shouted at the top of his throat: "Guo Laosan, Guo Laosan, what's the excitement here to watch?

A man on the fishing boat not far away heard the shout and immediately turned around, then rowed over to say hello: "Master Zhou, I haven't seen you one day. Is this business going to the south?"

"It's okay," the ship boss responded, and then asked again: "What's going on? Why do you ask the Taoist priest to do it on the river?"

"Mr. Zhou doesn't know something. Something happened in this water a few days ago. A woman jumped into the river and committed suicide. Because of the resentment, the soul of the wronged did not dissipate. Every night in the past few days, you can hear the crying of a woman in the water. Now passing ships don't dare to dock here at night."

Speaking of this, the man looked away and said again: "This matter is related to the eldest son of the Sun family. Mr. Sun invited several Taoist priests to come here to save the wronged souls, so that her soul would return to the underworld and no longer stay here to harm people."

"Sun Family, what's going on? Let's talk about it in detail." Zhou's master's family and Sun Family were a little inconsistent with each other. After hearing this, he asked excitedly.

"It's said that the Sun family deserves retribution..." Guo Laosan paused and said: "A few days ago, a scholar took his family to pass by here on a boat. Because it was getting dark, the boat was parked nearby. It happened that the Sun family cargo ship also stopped here. The eldest son of the Sun family accidentally discovered that the scholar's family was as beautiful as a flower, so he became interested and invited the scholar to board the boat and talk. As a result, what do you think..."

Speaking of this, the man couldn't help but keep an eye on him.

"Good San Guo, aren't you asking for a fight? You're so worried at this time. Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious." The ship owner urged.

"The eldest young master of the Sun family moved a banquet on his boat. During the meal, he frequently advised the scholar to drink, half drunk and half awake. The scholar explained his origin clearly. It turned out that the scholar was a student who went to Huyang Prefecture to take the examination, but he was addicted to the fireworks and willow alleys and never went home. The female relative was redeemed from the brothel..."

When Chang Jin heard the man opposite talk about this section, he changed his face slightly, fearing that his guess would come true.

"Because he wanted to redeem the woman, the scholar had already completely gone away and borrowed hundreds of taels of silver. He was afraid of taking the prostitute home to explain to his family, so he never dared to go back. The woman proposed a method, saying that the two of them were having a trip to Fengtai Mansion and asked the scholar to write to their relatives and friends, begging them to persuade their father, and wait until the family members were in decline, and the two of them would take a boat back.

When Master Sun heard the inside story, he was thinking about it and said that a scholar who married a prostitute as his wife, your father would not agree. If you insist on taking her home, you will definitely end up being unfaithful, unfaithful, unfilial and unkind. The scholar was also soft-hearted, and after hearing it, he asked what to do. The eldest master of the Sun family told the other party that he was willing to spend a thousand taels of silver to buy the woman and let the scholar take the money home, and that the family would definitely be forgiven by the time being.

"I never thought that the scholar really agreed. After returning to the boat, he discussed with the woman. I never thought that the woman was a fierce man. She stood at the bow of the boat and scolded the eldest son of the Sun family, and then opened the treasure chest she carried with her. There were less than ten thousand taels of gold and silver, which were all the heads she had accumulated over the years. She originally planned to go home with the scholar to live for life. After the woman scolded her, she jumped into the middle of the river with the treasure chest before everyone could react.

It was dark at that time, and many people went down to salvage, but the woman was not found. Since then, the waters have become uneasy... What a pity."

At the end of his speech, the man couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed, this woman is really inhumane, and the scholar has no responsibility at all." The ship owner also echoed.

"By the way, I heard that the woman's name seems to be Huo Wanniang..."

Sure enough... When he heard this, Chang Jin looked sad.

"Damn it, Li Shunchang deserves to die." At this time, Wang Qinian also reacted and cursed: "This kind of person is not even as good as a beast."

Others didn't understand the inside story, and felt indignant, and then cursed: "That's right, such people should be cut into pieces."

"How is that scholar now?" someone asked gritted his teeth.

"Or why would I say it was retribution? The scholar and the eldest son of the Sun family were frightened and are now lying in the boat, half dead."
