Chapter 655: Discussing the Scriptures and Taoism
The sound of ringing gold sounded, which meant that the competition was officially over, but Datou was not relieved, because winning the competition did not mean that he would definitely get the amulet. Next, he still needed to discuss scriptures with the middle-aged Yin official. Only by getting
Only with the approval of the middle-aged Yin official can you successfully obtain this bronze amulet.
Datou looked up, smiled and nodded to show encouragement.
Datou took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, then put away the Yin and Yang wheels, turned around and bowed his hands to the middle-aged Yin official.
The middle-aged Yin official did not continue to sit on the chair where the spiritual energy transformed. Instead, he stood up straight and came to the big head. "I have a few questions for you. You should answer them truthfully."
"Oh, okay." Datou swallowed nervously.
"Why do you want to get the amulet?" the middle-aged Yin official asked.
After hearing this, Datou thought anxiously, and then said, "Returning to your question, there are two reasons why I compete for the amulet. One is that I am afraid that the amulet will fall into the hands of bad people and be used by them to do bad things..."
Before Da Tou could finish speaking, the middle-aged Yin official interrupted him, "Do you think you are a good person?"
"It's not that I think so, but I am a good person." Datou said seriously.
"How to prove it?" the middle-aged Yin official asked.
Datou thought for a while and said, "When we entered the palace just now, a woman called us the hawks of the court. We are indeed officials of the court, but we are not officials for glory and wealth, but to do something for the people.
We are good at martial arts and have no shortage of money. We can live a good life even if we are not officials. However, we do not stay away from the affairs and hide in leisure. Instead, we risk our lives to fight here and there, raise food for disaster relief, and are exhausted every day.
, I don’t even have time to meditate and practice qi. If I weren’t a good person, I definitely wouldn’t do this. I would find a place to hide in seclusion and practice, concentrate on improving my own cultivation and prolonging my life, without caring about the common people.
Life or death."
The middle-aged Yin official, who had always been expressionless after hearing Da Tou's words, couldn't help but smile, "Aren't you afraid of arousing people's jealousy by criticizing Sang and Huai like this?"
"Don't be afraid, I just told the truth," Datou said sternly, "No matter how good your kung fu is or how high your cultivation level is, if you don't save the world and help the people, you are just a waste who eats and makes shit. He is obviously greedy for life and afraid of death.
To shun the world and live in peace, yet still claim to be noble and noble, free and easy, how hypocritical and abominable.”
There is a saying that one pole can knock over a boatload of people, and Datou's words had such an effect. Most of the people outside the venue were livid and stunned at this time.
Shi Xuanming has always ridiculed Datou as a flatterer. In fact, Shi Xuanming did not accuse Datou unjustly. Although Datou is a good person, he is indeed a flatterer. These words are very clever. Not only did he take the opportunity to mock those Zi who are devoted to practicing Qi and ignore worldly affairs.
A master of qi, he also took the opportunity to flatter the middle-aged Yin official. You must know that the middle-aged Yin official is also an official of the underworld. It is undeniable that there are people who are greedy for wealth among officials, but more officials still want to do something for the world.
The thing is, to put it bluntly, it is ambition.
Of course, even if you are not an official, you can still do something for the world, but what a person who is not an official can do is really limited. A good person can only help ten or eight people, but a good official can benefit all people.
.
"You just said you wanted to get the amulet for two reasons. What's the other reason?" asked the middle-aged Yin official.
"I am sick and can live for another year and a half at most," Datou said. "My prince has been helping me find medicine. I also know that he
I'm sure I can find it, but if I get the amulet, he won't have to run around for me anymore."
As soon as Datou said this, there were boos outside the stadium, and everyone was talking about it. They only said that his words and deeds were inconsistent. One moment, he was talking about helping the world and relieving the suffering, and the next moment, he showed his greed for life and fear of death.
But the middle-aged Yin official did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth and showed a slight smile.
He has been paying close attention from the sidelines, and he has a panoramic view of the changes in the middle-aged Yin Guan's expression. Facts have proved that Datou's response is very correct. Ordinary people often like beautiful things, but people in high positions do not. They only like one thing.
That is the truth. When dealing with people in high positions, you must tell the truth and never deceive at all.
You must know that the essence of deception is to think that the other person is stupid and lacks the ability to distinguish between true and false, which is also a complete loss of sincerity. The middle-aged Yin official can naturally see that Datou is seriously ill. If Datou deliberately conceals it, it will arouse his resentment.
"There is a saying in the world that the heaven and the earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as stupid dogs," the middle-aged Yin official asked again, "In your opinion, are the heaven and the earth benevolent or unbenevolent?"
When Da Tou heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. It wasn't that he didn't know how to answer, because he had discussed this issue with them from the Ni Mansion some time ago. The reason why he was afraid was because if he had not discussed this issue before, he would not be able to answer it at this time.
His answer will definitely not satisfy the Yin official. You must know that this question is actually a trap. No matter whether the answer is benevolent or unbenevolent, it is wrong.
Datou recalled quickly in his mind and then said, "Heaven and earth are benevolent, and they will not deliberately favor anyone, nor will they deliberately make things difficult for anyone. As the saying goes, there is no way for misfortunes and blessings, only people call it upon themselves, and the rewards of good and evil follow them like a shadow, no matter what
Whatever you gain or lose is something you ask for and has nothing to do with heaven and earth. Heaven and earth only do one thing, and that is to uphold justice."
It can be seen that the middle-aged Yin official was very satisfied with Datou's answer and nodded repeatedly, but the inquiry did not stop there, "There is a saying in the world that hemp ropes are only cut at the thinnest, and bad luck is only for the misfortune. If the way of heaven is really fair,
,Why does this happen?”
This question has never been touched upon before. Datou has no ready answer, so he can only answer casually, "What do you mean by a miserable person? Not only do I have no father and mother, I am also a big-headed dwarf. Who has a miserable life like mine? But I have not given up on myself. I am now
I am a great general of the Tang Dynasty, who dares to look down on me? If I had felt sorry for myself, I would still be begging for food on the street, so don’t blame yourself for your bad luck. If you want to blame me, blame yourself for not working hard enough."
Since he had previously ridiculed the purple energy master outside the court, Da Tou's words caused a round of boos. Da Tou was annoyed when he heard the sound and glared at him, "Whoever dissatisfied, come down!"
Seeing that Datou was angry, the middle-aged Yin official waved his hand and said, "You should have a merciful heart towards stupid people and do not use force at will."
Datou didn't expect that the middle-aged Yin official would enlighten him, and he was stunned for a moment.
The middle-aged Yin official said harmoniously, "Their hostility to you comes from your previous ridicule of them and their jealousy that you are about to have a bronze amulet. This is a completely normal thing. They never even thought that you would remember it."
If you look at their appearance, you may retaliate against them after getting the protective talisman. How can you be so stupid and see them like them again? In the future, you should look down from a high place and have a clear insight. You must not be overly impetuous or lose justice."
"Thank you for your teaching, sir." Da Tou bowed to accept the teaching.
"Okay, my calamity is approaching and I cannot stay for a long time. Please reach out here..." The sound of ringing gold sounded, which meant that the competition was officially over. However, Datou was not relieved, because winning the competition did not mean that he would definitely get the protection.
To obtain the body and spirit talisman, you still need to discuss scriptures and Taoism with the middle-aged Yin official. Only with the approval of the middle-aged Yin official can you successfully obtain this bronze protective talisman.
Datou looked up, smiled and nodded to show encouragement.
Datou took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, then put away the Yin and Yang wheels, turned around and bowed his hands to the middle-aged Yin official.
