After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Chapter 249

The disciple-recruiting conference ended in just one day. Looking at the bustling crowd running around at the foot of the mountain, Ni Yangzhou suddenly felt a sense of separation.

In this world, some people are seeking to become immortals, some are working on the farm, some are enjoying themselves, and some are suffering from hunger.

It's quite unfair.

And it will last for a long time, always like this.

This evening, we also saw a few low-level cultivator servants who had bullied Xiaobai. When they arrived at the illusion, they were all deeply trapped in it. Ni Yangzhou deliberately detained a few of them and tortured them with the horrific scenes in the illusion before sending them out.

I am also one of those who have achieved unfairness.

The young man waited, his face reddened by the setting sun and his whole body emitting heat, and slowly returned to the hut where his master was.

At this time, Master Haoping had already returned to Minghong Sect with Yuanjia, whom he had captured with great difficulty, Chengwang, Yuanjia's new disciple, and a group of more than ten new disciples.

Ni Yangzhou saw Yi Yuanzheng among the crowd of people being taken away.

The young man returned to his room reluctantly, looked around, and saw his master sitting by the window, wiping his sword.

"Master, aren't we going back?"

Yan Congzhi shook his head: "Let's go to Xixun County."

Ni Yangzhou tilted his head: "Where is that?"

The boy discovered that his master had a bad habit of never speaking complete sentences and always asking people to answer them one by one.

"Seven hundred miles south."

"What are we going there for?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Well, the master is very good, but today the boy summed up the master’s second bad habit – he likes to keep people in suspense.

Ni Yangzhou slowly walked to the small table by the window, looking a little sad. Yan Congzhi put away his sword and looked into the young man's furrowed brows.

The person in front of the window had clothes whiter than snow, thick eyelashes and dark eyes. He just lowered his eyelids and took out a bow to wipe them carefully.

Ni Yangzhou squatted and moved forward, moving his clear eyes under the master's nose.

Yan Congzhi paused while wiping his hands, looked at the young man who was deliberately frowning under the pale golden bowstring, and said helplessly:

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Ni Yangzhou finally attracted the master's attention. He stopped squatting and stood up. He said indignantly: "I saw Yi Yuanzheng. Is he also a new member of Minghong Sect?"

Yan Congzhi's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Who is that?"

"The one who came to the inn to provoke us that day! The master is a giant salamander spirit in the Nascent Soul stage, the one who was stewed by Yuan Jia, the apprentice of the giant salamander spirit!"

Yan Congzhi asked, "Did he climb the mountain by himself?"

The young man nodded: "In the foundation building stage, I climbed the mountain by myself."

"Broken the illusion?"

"It was broken, the illusion was broken, but he revealed many of the bad things he had done in the illusion. He took human lives and committed many evil deeds. Will our Minghong Sect accept such a person?"

Yan Congzhi was still wiping the bow, his slender fingers stroking the bow, reflecting a faint light.

"Since we have climbed the stone steps and passed the illusion, then it is collected."

"But he..."

Yan Congzhi put the bow back into his sleeve and looked up at the young man: "A tiger eats people. Is the tiger guilty?"

Ni Yangzhou sat down: "Guilty."

"The tiger is just hungry, what's the crime?"

The boy shook his head: "It can also eat rabbits and wild boars."

"Then the rabbit and the wild boar deserve to be its dead souls?"

Ni Yangzhou shook his head: "No, that's not it, because I am a human, so I speak to humans. Tigers eat humans, so tigers are evil."

"What if people first took away the tiger's territory and then the wild boars and rabbits that the tiger feeds on, and then the tiger ate people? Do you still think the tiger is guilty?"

The young man pondered for a while and replied, "Master, things are changing all the time. Every living being is trying to find a way to survive, but there are only a limited number of things in the world. If one side has more, the other side will have less. It is problematic to use human ethics to measure the practices of other living beings."

Yan Congzhi nodded: "Yes, the way of heaven is also like this."

Ni Yangzhou frowned and argued, "But Yi Yuan is a man of high status, and almost no one can threaten him. He tramples on other people's lives at will without affecting his own safety. How can it be compared with what we just said?"

Yan Congzhi nodded: "Yes, flowers, trees, birds and beasts, as long as they have the opportunity, they can all get a glimpse of the way of heaven, so why can't bad people do the same?"

“Bad people will squeeze out other people’s resources and take away the opportunities of those who could have gone further.”

"If you were the Heavenly Dao, what would you do?"

“Only those with pure hearts, good intentions, and who stick to their original intentions can do this!”

"What about carnivorous animals and birds? What is considered good?"

"No killing, just survival."

"How do you judge? It eats one to fill its stomach, but eating two is just cruelty? You are not Yi Yuanzheng, how do you know that what he did was not to establish his authority and win the favor of his father?"

Ni Yangzhou stood still: "I...I can't judge."

Yan Congzhi looked out the window and said, “This is also the way of heaven.

If it is flowers, plants, or trees, you have to endure being picked or broken, being blown by the wind and rain, and being stepped on by animals.

If you are a bird or beast, you will be harmed by the wind and frost, and be eaten by your own kind. If you die in the mouth of another, you will have no choice but to accept it.

If you are a human being, you will encounter officials, gentry, demons and monsters. There will always be injustices due to fate. What do you do? "

Ni Yangzhou stood up and said, "Become stronger. Take care of the injustice I see, practice the virtues I believe in, and achieve the realm I want."

Yan Congzhi looked at the young man, not being affected by his excitement at all, and just responded in a low voice:

“Be true to your conscience and do your best.

Minghong Sect is not a sect for righteous people. It is a narrow path for living beings to enter the Tao. You have a chance, and he also has a chance. If you don't like his behavior, just find a way."

Ni Yangzhou seldom heard his master talk so much, and at this moment he still felt that some of his words were not made clear, but for a moment he did not know what else to say.

After thinking hard for a while, the young man said, "But this makes our sect seem irresponsible."

Yan Congzhi glanced at the young man and said: "With this tradition, if the founder is responsible, he should eliminate all injustices in the world and then ascend to heaven."

Ni Yangzhou stuck out his tongue, knowing that what he said was not right, and quickly brushed it off, saying darkly: "If I were to attack such a fellow disciple who has committed so many evil deeds, there wouldn't be any punishment, right? That is, it would be like what Yuan Jia said, confinement or something like that."

Yan Congzhi said nothing, and walked slowly out the door. The young man followed behind him, and heard his master's voice as clear as a spring, "To pursue a pure heart, you must get rid of troubles. Why do you have to be locked up?"

Ni Yangzhou grinned, showing his fangs: "Thank you, Master."

With a smile on his face, he summarized the characteristics of his master in his heart - he doesn't say things directly, but makes people guess. He asks questions bit by bit and keeps people in suspense.

No matter how much you guess, you still can't figure it out.

The master is so hard to understand.

Why don't you just tell me to find a way to become stronger instead of meddling in other people's business?

Yan Congzhi made a hand gesture and handed a paper crane to Haoping, asking him to pay attention to the safety of his new disciples. He didn't know that his disciples regarded his earnest teachings as bad habits that needed consideration. Then he summoned the ancient sword, and the corner of his clothes fluttered and fell on the sword.

Ni Yangzhou also summoned his own silver-blue sword and said with great vigor, "Master, let's punish the wicked and eliminate the evil! Those who disturb my Dao heart must not be spared!"
