Chapter 441 Seeing the World and Knowing One's Own Way

The man in rough cloth disappeared.

Jiang Sheng also guessed about 70% of that person's background.

The former mountain god of Huayu Mountain, now the Huayu Star God.

This man was a righteous and kind-hearted person in his past. He could not bear to see the sufferings of the world, so he worked hard to improve the world and was eventually rewarded with heaven for his good deeds.

With the end of the gambling battle among the three realms, the remaining gods of the Panfeng Realm, who had previously been unable to show up in the nine heavens, could finally come down to the mortal world and clean up the mess.

After leaving Huayu Mountain, Jiang Sheng continued to travel in Yanzhou.

Different from Taoist Yuchen, Jiang Sheng went to both mountains and cities. He saw both mountains and the secular world.

Having traveled in Yanzhou for several years, Jiang Sheng sometimes visited mountains and rivers, sometimes stayed in wealthy families, sometimes taught children in villages and towns as a scholar, and sometimes punished evildoers on behalf of heaven.

Although I have never been to all parts of Yanzhou, I have seen a lot of it.

Jiang Sheng was very patient and was not in a hurry to travel.

Seeing mountains and rivers is a form of cultivation, educating others is a form of cultivation, and even walking on the road is a form of cultivation.

The light behind Jiang Sheng's head had already completely disappeared, not even a trace of it was left, and Jiang Sheng's soul also completely ignited the yang fire, transforming from a yin spirit into a yang spirit, and then filling up bit by bit.

With what Jiang Sheng had accumulated, both the Dragon and Phoenix Pearls and the Vermillion Fruits could quickly get him through this hard work.

But Jiang Sheng is not in a hurry. His Taoism and character need to improve as well.

Taoist Yuchen and Mingyue were no longer satisfied with saving people from suffering in Yanzhou, and Taoist Yuchen's reputation gradually became famous.

The book "The Wonderful Sutra of Yuanchen Zhenren Expounding on Relieving Suffering, Resolving Difficulties and Eliminating Sins" which integrates the methods of Taoism, Buddhism and God is also constantly adding new ideas and perfecting its principles.

Jiang Sheng's own understanding of the Buddhist and Shinto teachings is also gradually becoming clearer.

On the border between Yanzhou and Yuanzhou, beneath the mountains.

In the past, Jiang Sheng once set up a sword formation here to kill two Taiyi Yuanshen of Buddhism.

Later, a group of refugees came here and established a village.

Jiang Sheng is currently in this village, but he is a Taoist who has traveled here. The village provides Jiang Sheng with food, and Jiang Sheng teaches the children in the village to read.

A wooden house that was not very leaky became Jiang Sheng’s current residence.

In the past years, Jiang Sheng either lived in a Taoist temple or in a palace.

Especially after obtaining the top-grade golden elixir and becoming a true disciple of Penglai, he traveled in a cloud chariot, had servants by his side, lived in the Cloud Palace, and used immortal spiritual objects.

Those were truly god-like days. Jiang Sheng didn't have to worry about anything and only needed to practice.

Now, Jiang Sheng not only has to teach the children to read and write, but also has to grow some vegetables and pick some wild fruits in the mountains.

But Jiang Sheng lived a very comfortable life like this.

Jiang Sheng can live in the fairy palace in the Cloud Palace, and he can also live in a thatched cottage in the firewood house.

In front of the dim candlelight, Jiang Sheng bent over his desk, writing carefully.

"I practice the method of destroying the yin and yang catastrophes, and perform the work of destroying the three disasters. I observe the changes of yin and yang in heaven and earth, and see the key to the chaotic universe."

"The way of the three disasters is the transformation of the law of catastrophe. The law of the last catastrophe is the return to oneness."

“At the end of the law, yin and yang return to one, and heaven and earth cease to exist; at the end of the Tao, creation disappears without a trace, and chaos collapses and decays.”

"The end of the catastrophe destroys the catastrophe, and the way of destiny leads to the way of catastrophe. Therefore, my way is carried by the sword, and the law is manifested by the mind. I play the yin and yang, transform the three disasters, and make my own law known: interception."

"To intercept, if you understand the universe, you can intercept the spiritual energy of the world; if you understand all things, you can intercept the nature of the universe; if you understand nature, you can intercept the cycle of time."

“Heaven and earth, time and shadow, yin and yang, and chaos are all in it.”

With the last stroke of the pen, Jiang Sheng once again completed his repair of "The Yin-Yang Disaster Sutra Explained by Master Lingyuan".

Looking out the window at the dim sunset, Jiang Sheng realized that his stay here was over and it was time to set off again.

In the following days, Jiang Sheng appeared in Yuanzhou, Liuzhou, Shengzhou and Jukuzhou.

Whenever Jiang Sheng arrived at a continent, he would experience the local people's livelihood and see the sufferings of the world.

But Jiang Sheng didn't help anyone who was in trouble. That was the business of Taoist Yuchen and the little girl Mingyue. He just watched.

Taoist Yuchen helps people in need and in trouble, but Jiang Sheng is not like that.

Compared to saving people, Jiang Sheng is more accustomed to preaching and educating people.

The Tao that is passed on is naturally the concept of Jiang Sheng’s original heart and nature, as well as Jiang Sheng’s Dharma and Jiang Sheng’s Tao.

After more than forty years of traveling across the five continents of Panfengjie, Jiang Sheng has now returned to Xuanzhou.

The main battlefield where immortals and Buddhas fought each other in the past has restored stability after decades.

Jiang Sheng still found a town and continued to be a teacher.

"The world is ruthless, but people always have hearts."

"The changes of heaven and earth, the changes of worldly affairs, the changes of seas and seas, but the changes of human hearts, the dragons and snakes rise from the land and the stars move and turn."

“So, if you keep your mind and nature constant, do not let external things disturb your mind, and do not replace your nature with other thoughts, then you will be perfect in yourself.”

“Man has a destiny, which manifests itself in the sky as stars and is reflected on the earth as his nature.”

A clear voice rang out in the study room. Dozens of children sat on small benches, listening quietly to Jiang Sheng's lecture.

A child raised his hand and said, "Sir, my parents said that a person's fate is determined by heaven. God has already determined a person's fate. Is it really useful for us to learn to read and write?"

Jiang Sheng recognized the child, whose name was Li Jianchun, and he was a clear-minded child. Although the child's family was a little poor, he did not feel inferior or annoyed because of this, and his character made Jiang Sheng like him a little.

Jiang Sheng then smiled and said, "Why is it useless? It is true that fate is determined by heaven, but reading and learning to read are the way to understand reason and morality."

“To know the principles of heaven and earth and to see the way of the world is to understand one’s mind and see one’s nature.”

"At this point, the mind is clear, virtue is revealed, not happy with things, not sad with oneself, gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, why can't I change my fate?"

After saying this, Jiang Sheng paused and said, "You are still children now. When you learn more and have more knowledge in the future, you may become rich. From being extremely poor now to being rich in the future, isn't that changing your fate?"

"When a person is born, he is in chaos and has no fixed nature. He can learn to read and understand reason and then settle his mind and clarify his nature. Maintain your own virtues, stick to your own integrity, treat others with kindness and good thoughts, and blessings will appear naturally."

"Never forget that there are gods above your head. Do good deeds and you will reap good results."

But Li Jianchun asked again: "But Master, if a good deed is not good for us and we do not do it, and another good deed is good for us and we do it, will this also bring us blessings?"

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "Judging from deeds rather than hearts, no one is perfect. Since you have done good deeds, why don't you get blessings?"

Li Jianchun pondered and couldn't help asking, "But there are evil people in the world, and gods can be good or bad. What if we do good things but don't get good rewards? Or what if we do good things but are slandered as bad and misunderstood by everyone?"

Jiang Sheng looked at Li Jianchun steadily, but Li Jianchun did not show any fear. He looked at Jiang Sheng fearlessly with a pair of bright eyes.

Jiang Sheng didn't say much. He just tapped Li Jianchun's head casually and continued his lecture.

After the lecture, all the children ran out to play happily, except Li Jianchun who stayed behind.

Jiang Sheng asked, "Why are you staying here if you don't want to go out and play?"

Li Jianchun said seriously: "Master, you haven't answered my question yet."

Jiang Sheng snorted: "Why should I answer your question?"

Li Jianchun was speechless, but Jiang Sheng didn't take it seriously and continued flipping through the book.

After a long while, Li Jianchun slowly said, "Master taught us to read and write, isn't it for us to know the truth of the world?"

"Many of the things that Master has told us are not in books. And aren't these things that are not in books Master's own principles?"

"Since this is the Master's own theory, and is not found in books, the Master should naturally explain it to us."

Jiang Sheng put down the book and looked at Li Jianchun in front of him. He looked Li Jianchun up and down and finally smiled: "Well, you ask me why there are evil people in the world, evil gods in the world, people who do good deeds but don't get good rewards, and do good deeds but are stigmatized."

"To ordinary people, such behavior is like a natural disaster. It is because it is difficult for people to survive disasters that they are used to keeping themselves out of trouble. If we want to clear the filth in the world, we cannot rely on Tao alone, we also need the Dharma to solve it."

"When you travel the world and preach your own way, you will inevitably be slandered by foreign enemies, bewitched by demons, and misunderstood by the world. Therefore, preaching the way requires the blessing of the Dharma. Without the Dharma to protect the way, it will be difficult to achieve the right result."

"You kid, you ask me these, but do you want to learn the way to protect the Tao?"

Li Jianchun was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Master, can your method eliminate the evil things in the world?"

Jiang Sheng said sternly: "The law is passed on to others and used by others. The way is in you, not in me. Are you willing to learn the law?"

Li Jianchun nodded, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Jiang Sheng: "I am willing to learn the Fa."

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "In that case, I will teach you a method."

"This method is called: The Wonderful Sutra of Relieving Suffering, Resolving Difficulties, and Eliminating Sins. It is the method that I, Master, first created. It contains the way to relieve suffering, rescue the distressed, save the world and save people, as well as the method to eliminate disasters, resolve misfortunes, and subdue demons and monsters."

"If you are willing to learn, come to me at twilight hour and go back at twilight hour. You can study for two hours a day."

From then on, Li Jianchun followed Jiang Sheng to learn reading and writing during the day, and studied the law with Jiang Sheng at night.

Jiang Sheng also stayed in this village for three years.

After three years of studying and learning to read, and three years of attaining enlightenment and practicing the Dharma, Li Jianchun already knew that his master was no ordinary person.

How could a mortal have the ability and magic to ride on clouds, call the wind and rain, and even drive thunder and lightning?

Knowing Jiang Sheng's extraordinary ability, Li Jianchun studied more diligently and seriously.

During these three years, Li Jianchun studied the Fa and practiced the Dao. Besides gaining a lot himself, he also gave Jiang Sheng a lot of insights.

On this day, Li Jianchun went into the forest again to look for prey.

Li Jianchun's mother's birthday is coming soon, and Li Jianchun wants to hunt something to celebrate his mother's birthday.

Although he had some skills, Li Jianchun did not use them to do wrong things. Instead, he followed what Jiang Sheng taught him, and followed the right path and kept his original heart.

Therefore, although Li Jianchun ate better than before, his family was not wealthy. After all, with Li Jianchun's mediocre kung fu, it was difficult for him to make money.

However, with this little skill, it is not difficult to hunt some prey.

In the forest, Li Jianchun soon found a deer.

This deer looked extremely fat and had some difficulty moving, making it a perfect target.

But when Li Jianchun was about to cast the spell, the deer seemed to sense the danger and knelt down in front of Li Jianchun.

At this moment, Li Jianchun was stunned. Looking at the fat deer body, Li Jianchun finally did not take any action and let the deer go.

That was a pregnant doe. Not to mention the hunters, even wild beasts would not attack a pregnant doe.

"You, boy, have a kind heart."

A light laugh sounded, and Li Jianchun subconsciously cast a spell, gathering a ball of strong wind in his hand: "Who is it?"

The next moment, a woman dressed in green, with a phoenix hairpin on her head, who was extremely beautiful, as elegant as a fairy, yet with some heroic spirit, appeared in front of Li Jianchun.

"My last name is Ye, what's my identity?"

"I think he is an acquaintance of your master." (End of this chapter)
