I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 280: Soul-bearing and Rescuing, Degraded to Animal

Xu Jia smiled. With excellent qualifications and good moral character, doesn't he want one?
I have only accepted three disciples now, a little fat boy, Caiyu, and Chen Gongming. I wanted to accept a fourth disciple, but ended up getting involved with you, the Lishan Sect...

Another thing is, these little demons are eager to make progress, and they work very well for you. If you give them some resources, they will be loyal to you... Why not recruit them?

When Xu Jia started his business, he was just a makeshift team. He was just about to set up an altar to establish a religion and recruit disciples, and you guys came rushing over and angrily accused me of being a heretic...

You've said all the good and bad things.

He holds on to his own righteousness and doesn't care about the lives of others at all.

Xu Jia was too lazy to argue with her. No matter what she said, she would just find an excuse to use the issue to put a accusation on her family and cover up her own mistakes.

There are many such people, and in large numbers, some of them are very close to us.

"Let me be fair."

"I'm going to say something you don't like to hear. Doesn't that make sense?"

"I have my own difficulties... It's not easy for everyone, please bear with me."

"It takes two to tango..."

If you want to get out, then get out. Saying these high-sounding words to cover up your ugly face is really disgusting.

How could Xu Jia be impressed by her few words? According to her reasoning, people with moral integrity and excellent qualifications are not found in ordinary people. Only princes and nobles who are well-dressed and well-versed in moral classics have such qualities.

Then, do all sentient beings have no qualifications to hear the truth?

In his book The Spirit of a Great Physician, Sun Simiao said: “First, develop a heart of great compassion and sympathy, and vow to save all sentient beings from suffering.”

I won’t talk about medicine in this paragraph, the same applies to spiritual practice.

What does "sentient beings" mean? All things with spirits are sentient beings, including plants and trees, animals and humans.

Xu Jia has a very kind heart. He cannot bear to see any living beings suffer, and he has a heart of compassion and a desire to save all living beings.

In the Lingbao classics.

There is a book called "Lingbao Wuliang Saving People's Supreme Wonderful Sutra". (This sutra can also be taught by Buddhists. It takes compassion and saving people as the first priority, regardless of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism)

Although it differs from the Taoist traditions such as the "Ancient Lingbao Sutra" that are related to Xu Jia's Lingbao talisman system, it does fit Xu Jia.

At least Xu Jia can say that he is willing to make the twelve great vows and carry them out together.

Although humans are the chief of all spirits, the chief of all spirits is also a spirit, which does not mean he is a god. The rest of the spirits may not have such a high starting point, but they are not unqualified...

According to the elixir of Journey to the West, "Anyone who has nine orifices can become an immortal."

But can those without nine orifices become immortals? Even a stone or a piece of wood can, as long as they have a "spirit".

Xu Jia teaches everyone without discrimination. He does not accept all dirty and smelly people, but gives them a way and a channel.

Maybe in the future Xu Jia really made a mistake and was implicated by his so-called disciples. Can he not teach them because of this? Can he just kill them all with one blow?
According to her, foxes are more suitable for practicing Taoism than humans.

Most foxes have good aptitudes. Even wild foxes have developed a kind of wild fox Zen, haven’t they? Hu Agui practiced many methods at random and became a celestial being, obtained liberation in the intermediate state, and realized the illusory body.

Then, wouldn't it be the easiest way to make the little fox become an immortal as long as we start teaching it from the womb?
There is a saying in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: How cunning and treacherous are animals? It only adds to the laughter.

Humans are the ones who are most likely to break the moral bottom line. Animals are easier to guess and control.

After all, if a demon wants to become a human, it must learn from humans from the very beginning.

If you learn to be a good person, you will become a good demon.

If you learn to be a bad person, you will become a bad monster.

Only when you learn from humans can you become a treacherous and vicious monster.

It's not that Xu Jia has a crooked butt. The little fox under his seat is a typical example. The new generation of little foxes work hard to cultivate vegetable fields, sell them at the market, earn some money, and buy what they like.

This is exactly what Hu Jinhua insisted on and believed in. It is a belief based on benevolence, righteousness and moral qualities. This belief is even higher than the worship of gods and idols.

Why do ordinary people worship Guan Yu? Because they believe he is the embodiment of loyalty and righteousness. Why do they cry bitterly in front of Bao Gong’s Temple? Because they believe he is the embodiment of justice.

People can become demons, or they can become immortals.

A demon can also cultivate into a human, become an immortal, or degenerate into a demon.

This is true of all sentient beings...

When Xu Jia was giving the Heavenly Master the Dharma, thousands of ghosts and demons came and asked Xu Jia to teach them the Sutra. Why? With the Sutra, there is no need for ordinary nectar and Dharma food. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. Ghosts and demons all have the heart to seek the Tao and want to be free from the cycle of reincarnation... let alone other sentient beings?

How could Xu Jia bear to let them remain ignorant and decadent, not knowing why they were suffering and how to change... In the big furnace, their descendants, generation after generation, were roasted and tortured.

Even the gods in heaven would inevitably come here if they were tempted by lust.

The cold moon and warm sun will only shorten human life.

Ordinary people have to endure many disasters and hardships, let alone practitioners. Since Xu Jia returned to the world, he has been plagued by disasters and hardships at every step, just like Tang Monk. However, Tang Monk's true scriptures are in the West, while Xu Jia's true scriptures have always been in his heart and in his hands, in the unity of knowledge and action.

So… Fenglei Taoist, or Mount Li, or anyone who holds such thoughts, the Taoist tradition…

I, Xu Jia, have never needed your approval, nor do I care about getting your recognition, but if you want to put pressure on me and slander me... you are nothing but a demon who is blocking my path.

Xu Jia can defeat the thief in his heart and kill the gods and Buddhas in his heart. He can also defeat the thief in the mountains and kill the immortals and Buddhas in the world.

In an instant, the Golden Dragon Sword and the Silver Dragon Sword began to tremble, as if they were enjoying something.

Xu Jia's compassion turned into an unfair sword.

When the thought moves, the sword spirit is sensed, and when the sword spirit is sensed, the Dharma Realm trembles.

All the spirits in the mountains and forests are moved by compassion, and all the swords ring out in injustice.

The mountains shouted "Long live the emperor!" and the grass and trees bowed in submission.

All spirits are the master of his will, and are willing to submit and worship his god.

At this moment, Xu Jia's soul also moved up to the Purple Palace and sat on the Lingtai, like the King of the East...

The terrifying momentum of the two swords and the blessing of the entire Sanqing Mountain were so great that Xu Jia only left his sword here and did not come in person.

It also made Taoist Feng Lei sense the changes in heaven and earth. Even the Feng Lei Qi, which represented the righteous energy of the Tiangang, were unwilling to obey his orders and become enemies with Xu Jia.

Because the wind also has a spirit, the thunder also has a spirit. They also belong to the category of all things having spirits.

"I intend to kill you."

Suddenly Xu Jia's voice was heard.

Taoist Feng Lei was extremely nervous. She had already felt the terrifying power of Xu Jia. If they really had to fight to the death, Yushan would be the place where Xu Jia preached and governed. Now his momentum was even stronger. With the blessing of all spirits, the wind would tip him off, the grass and trees would tell him who had been there, and if he walked to the river, the fish would take the initiative to turn into a fish bridge and ferry him across the river... He could not escape.

"But it's too easy to kill you." Xu Jia said: "And I don't know how you, Lishan, will react. Are there any masters from the immortal realm? Will they come directly to fight me..."

"How about this, I will give you a choice, and it won't be considered as humiliating you."

"If not, then there is nothing we can do."

The Golden Dragon Sword and the Silver Dragon Sword transformed into two dragons, presenting a double helix state of reconciliation, like a pair of scissors that could cut all enemies in half and cut them in half.

Yi Lei and Ling Yun were only human immortals, so they were even more trembling with fear. These two immortal swords had the deepest malice towards them... After all, they only picked on the weak. They were made by Xu Jia after he killed the gold and silver heads of the three-headed dragon. They also retained a part of the evil spirits of the gold and silver dragons to increase their power.

"Fellow Daoist, are you sure you want to be the enemy of my Lishan Sect?" Taoist Feng Lei was still being stubborn.

She could tell that although Xu Jia was not afraid of him, he was afraid that the Lishan Sect's leader who was at the immortal level, or other ancestors, would come and cause trouble.

But Xu Jia didn't know that he didn't care about these things at all, he just lacked time to develop.

"The master of our sect sent me here to watch the ceremony. The master specifically asked me to acknowledge the Lingbao lineage and set up an altar to establish a sect, and to discuss the marriage of Liu Ruyan and Chen Liuxian."

Xu Jia was surprised. You changed so quickly, from being rude at first to being respectful later.

However, if anyone faces the threat of being beheaded, they will probably be a little timid.

"This incident was originally caused by the sin of love in three lifetimes, but I am curious, why did you accept this snake demon as your disciple when you keep calling him a demon?"

Taoist Fenglei said, "I was originally the wife of a snake catcher. The court issued an order to catch exotic spirit snakes, and it was assigned to us. We took the initiative to go up the mountain to catch snakes, but we were attacked by a leopard and fell off the cliff. I was about to die, but she took the initiative to appear and led me to eat the Fenglei Jujube, saving my life. I then entered the Taoist practice and entered Mount Li, bringing her with me. I didn't expect that she ate the forbidden fruit, developed worldly desires, and caused a three-life love calamity."

Xu Jia sneered when he heard this: "So that's how it is. No wonder you point fingers at me but keep silent about your own family. It turns out that you can show mercy and show leniency outside the law, but you can only show mercy and show leniency to your own family."

"Chen Liuxian does not understand the tribulation of love, so he only has selfish desires and small loves, but no great love and true compassion. He cannot be accepted into my sect. Since this is the case, Liu Ruyan cannot enter my eyes either."

"You three, without knowing right from wrong, have relied on the support of the Lishan Sect to disrespect my Lingbao Daoist Altar. It doesn't matter if you are just two disciples, but it's just one incident. The disciples' incompetence and domineering behavior must be the fault of the master. I will only blame you."

Xu Jia chuckled and said, "Just guard the mountain gate for me for a while."

The next moment, Xu Jia appeared from the Dharma Realm with three talismans in his hand. He quickly stuck them in the faces of the three people, causing a strange deformation.

Lingyun and Yilei had no power to resist and turned into a sheep and a frog as big as a calf.

However, Taoist Feng Lei put up a fierce resistance and was about to break free from the restraints of his skin... But Xu Jia directly threatened him with the Golden Dragon Sword and the Silver Dragon Sword, saying that if he didn't change, he would cut him in two.

Taoist Fenglei was so overwhelmed by his power that he had to transform into an old hen as tall as a human.

Xu Jia had worked in the underworld before, and he knew a little bit about the magic of the animal realm. In addition, he had fought with some black witches in America before. They had a kind of transformation magic that could turn people into mice or other creatures.

Last time Xu Jia said he would use dog skin to turn them into dog-men, he really held a grudge against them. He secretly studied it carefully and looked through the books related to the memory palace. Then he found out that he had also collected some of the animal realm's magic and obtained the witch's "transfiguration".

So there is no need to work so hard to refine dog skin, then peel human skin and stuff it in... It is really evil. This is how I refined these three talismans, using the magic of the Earth Mother Hou Tu Niangniang.

This method is just right. Degrading these three people to the level of animals and having them guard the mountain gate for a while can also help him vent his anger.
