Chapter 713: Displeased with the People
The yellow-faced old man also knew that his high energy at this time was the result of killing a goose to obtain eggs and overdrawing his vitality. He also knew that he had very little time left, so after the sound of ringing gold, he quickly walked to the middle-aged Yin official's desk and rushed to the table.
Nian Yinguan bowed and held his hands in front of him, waiting for questioning.
The middle-aged Yin official glanced at the yellow-faced old man and then said in a deep voice, "Spirit talisman is originally a sacred object of heaven. It can prolong life and seize the fortune of heaven and earth. It can strengthen the foundation and protect the body and invade the sun and moon. Unless you are a member of the Immortal Class, you are not allowed to possess it.
, no one can be awarded unless you have achieved enlightenment, but now you are making an exception and teaching it to ordinary people. It is right for you to examine your mind and distinguish the true nature of good and evil. I ask you to answer the question truthfully, and do not cover up or deceive."
"Excuse me, I would like to ask you, old man... I will answer the question truthfully." The yellow-faced old man said sternly.
"Well," the middle-aged Yin official nodded slowly, "I would like to ask you, why did you come to the Immortal Palace to obtain the magic talisman?"
"Returning to the fairy question," the yellow-faced old man bent over and held his hand, "The reason why I came to ask for the magic talisman is because I am suffering from a chronic illness, my time is running out, and I have unfulfilled wishes. I am ignorant and lonely, and I rarely know how to escape armor.
I have the intention to pass on this skill to future generations, but I have never found a suitable person. If I get the magic talisman, I can live longer. Not only can I continue to deduce Guxu formations and escape magic, but I can also choose to teach the skills to my apprentices.
What you learn will be left in the world and passed on to future generations."
"What use are the skills you have learned to the world?" asked the middle-aged Yin official.
The middle-aged Yin official asked this question very harshly. The yellow-faced old man thought for a moment before answering, "The method of Guxu is all-encompassing and coincides with Yin and Yang. If used properly, it can be used to punish evil and promote good, but it can be used to save the world and save the people."
"Do you think you can distinguish between good and evil?" The middle-aged Yin official did not hide his contempt for the yellow-faced old man.
The yellow-faced old man bowed and replied, "Juniors know that they have little knowledge and cannot distinguish right from wrong. Therefore, they are always cautious when dealing with others and are cautious in everything. They dare not distinguish right from wrong based on what they see, and do not dare to judge true from false based on what they hear."
The middle-aged Yin official was quite satisfied with the yellow-faced old man's answer and nodded slowly, "It's right to be cautious. After all, Yin and Yang coexist in the world.
There is a mixture of good and evil. There are many people who see lotus flowers but not mud. There are many people who see leopards in the tube."
"The teachings of the Immortal should be kept in mind and put into practice by the younger generation," said the yellow-faced old man.
"What do you think of all the common people?" the middle-aged Yin official asked again.
The question of the middle-aged Yin official was too broad, and the yellow-faced old man didn't know how to answer it for a while.
Seeing the yellow-faced old man hesitate, the middle-aged Yin official asked another question, "In your opinion, are all the people your brothers and sisters, or are they just ants?"
A similar question was raised by an immortal family during the fight for the bronze talisman. The yellow-faced old man pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then said, "All the people are brothers and sisters with the same spirit, and they are also short-sighted ants.
Treat him as a brother and sister, treat him kindly, and treat him as an ant with tolerance."
"Well," the middle-aged Yin official nodded with satisfaction, "It's quite rare that you can think of this. You need to know that the sparrow under the eaves does not know the ambition of the swan, and the frog at the bottom of the well cannot see the vastness of the sea. Due to short-sightedness and lack of knowledge, there are those who regard the wind-shielded thatched cottage as a prison.
"In other words, there are people who regard the drizzle of moistening things as a disaster. It is not uncommon for inferiors to repay kindness with evil. Those in high positions should repay evil with kindness and be generous and tolerant. If they have the same experience as the inferiors, what is the difference between them?"
"I will follow the teachings of the Immortal." The yellow-faced old man responded sternly.
Those outside the field who had no hope of getting their hands on the magic talisman were also deeply touched by the middle-aged Yin Guan's words. The middle-aged Yin Guan's words meant that the higher the status, the less likely they were to be able to see ordinary people, because both parties were not equal at all.
, there is a huge gap in both knowledge and realm. If those in high positions hold themselves to the same standards as ordinary people, ordinary people simply cannot do it.
In addition, the middle-aged Yin official’s words have another meaning, that
Just be nice to others, and don't expect them to appreciate it. There are many people who don't know what to do, and there are also many people who benefit from others but bite them back. It's not that they have bad moral character, but that many times they simply can't understand what the other person does.
reasons, and cannot understand the other party’s good intentions.
The middle-aged Yin official said, "In my eyes, you are just like a sparrow under the eaves and a frog at the bottom of a well. If you are tested on the principles of Taoism and Mystery, it is tantamount to forcing others to do something difficult. Besides, your vitality is about to be cut off, so you must not delay it any longer. I have something to say.
Given to you, you should always remember it and think of it often."
"Junior, I am all ears." The yellow-faced old man said with a trembling voice.
"To enlighten the world and do good deeds, you should stick to your original intention and go far alone," said the middle-aged Yin official. "Practitioners are no better than those who seek power. Practitioners do good without seeking fame, give kindness without seeking repayment, and do not need to please the people.
, to win the hearts and minds of the people, if you seek to be praised by everyone and leave a name in history, you will fall into the inferior position."
"Junior, remember." The yellow-faced old man nodded seriously.
The middle-aged Yin official didn't say much, and immediately stood up from his seat and walked towards the yellow-faced old man.
A moment ago, the yellow-faced old man was still standing with a bow. When the middle-aged Yin Guan came closer, the yellow-faced old man's face suddenly changed, his whole body trembled, and he could hardly stand.
The middle-aged Yin official had just the right timing, and grabbed the yellow-faced old man's left hand before he collapsed to the ground. With a flash of thought, he transferred the talisman to him.
At this time, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, the middle-aged Yin official did not make things too difficult for the yellow-faced old man. As he said himself, although the yellow-faced old man had some knowledge, he could not reach the height of an immortal after all.
It would undoubtedly be unfair to the yellow-faced old man to test him with the immortal's questions.
Everything this middle-aged Yin official does follows the principle of fairness. It seems to be harsh and strict, but in fact it is fair and just. In fact, most people do not need extra care. As long as they can be treated fairly, most people will be happy.
Will be satisfied.
After a while, the transfer of the talisman was completed, and the middle-aged Yin official put his hands behind his back and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the middle-aged Yin official disappear, everyone outside the venue was relieved. This man was too strict, which made everyone outside the venue very nervous. Let alone talk eloquently, many people did not even dare to breathe.
The yellow-faced old man's complexion had turned very rosy at this time. After looking around, he stepped off the stage and came straight to the front. When he saw this person coming, he hurriedly left his seat and stood up.
The yellow-faced old man bowed his head deeply to the ground, "I, my father-in-law, lost Xuanming, he is a native of Yangzhou, I will never forget your kindness to you."
"Mr. Gongshu said something serious," he replied with a smile, "Mr. Guxu's art is extremely proficient, and he deserves to be awarded the Silver Talisman."
Gongshu Xuanming said sternly, "If it hadn't been for Your Majesty's help in times of crisis, it would have been difficult for me to get what I wanted. Your Majesty is your benefactor. I will definitely not refuse if Your Majesty has an assignment in the future."
Hearing what Gongshu Xuanming said, Datou felt very happy. You must know that there are two completely different meanings, but there is a mission and if there is a mission. The former has no limit on the number of times, while the latter has a limit on the number of times. "Haha, Mr. Gongshu, you are a
"O you of you, in the situation just now, no one can save you except my prince."
After hearing this, Gongshu Xuanming nodded in agreement, then frowned and glanced at Datou.
After greeting Yang Kai and others, Gongshu Xuanming returned to his seat. He was not in a hurry to leave, not because he wanted to watch the fun, but because he wanted to hear more about what the immortals who appeared later said, their vision and realm.
His knowledge and knowledge are far beyond ordinary people. Listening to the words of an immortal is really better than reading a hundred years of books.
