Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 237 Four Questions!!

Two days later.

Shushan, inside a rather elegant little courtyard.

As Zhuang Buran leisurely sipped his tea, Chang Yin, Chang Hao, and others trotted in.

"Senior Brother, something's happened!" Chang Hao exclaimed hurriedly.

"The sect leader and the four elders followed Jing Tian and cut their hands at the Tongtian Stone. No one knows why."

"When facing important matters, one should remain calm. Fellow disciples, do not be impatient or agitated."

Zhuang Buran stood up:
"If any elders are in need, we should do their duty and come with me to the Tongtian Stone."

"Yes."

The disciples of Mount Shu seemed to have suddenly found their leader and answered in unison.

Before the Tongtian Stone, Elder Canggu, upon seeing the young man in white Taoist robes leading a group of Shushan disciples, immediately rebuked him:
"What are you doing here? Go back right now!"

Zhuang Buran clasped his hands in a salute:
"I don't know what has caused you teachers to go to such lengths. I am not very capable, but I am willing to do my best to share your burdens."

The numerous disciples of Mount Shu clasped their hands in greeting and said in unison:
"This disciple is also willing to do his best to share the burdens of his teachers."

"Changqing, as the eldest disciple of Mount Shu, is this how you discipline your junior brother!" Elder Canggu said angrily.

"Since we didn't call you, there must be a reason why we didn't. Now get out of here!"

Master Qingwei spoke in a gentle tone:

"Changqing, you need not worry about this matter. Take your fellow disciples back with you."

Zhuang Buran said in a deep voice:

"According to the records of our sect, if the Tongtian Stone is stained with blood and is recognized by the divine realm, it will reveal a passage connecting the human realm and the divine realm."

“Since all five masters have cut their hands, yet the Tongtian Stone has not shown any spiritual response, why don’t I and my fellow disciples give it a try?”

"In this way, we might be able to share the burden with our teachers."

The disciples of Mount Shu said in unison:

"Please, esteemed teachers, allow your disciple to give it a try."

"Old man, you five have all tried, why don't we let them try too?" Jing Tian said with a smile.

"This is what they call trying anything as a last resort."

Master Qingwei's brows relaxed:

"Changqing possesses a divine destiny, and may be more qualified than us to gain the recognition of the divine realm."

The four elders, including Jingming, immediately realized that they had been so focused on keeping their disciples and followers from knowing about the evil energy that they had forgotten about this matter. If anyone in the entire Shu Mountain was most likely to ascend to immortality, it would be their own eldest disciple.

Therefore, he is naturally the person most likely to gain the recognition of the divine realm, apart from the mortals and immortals of the heavens.

Elder Heyang suddenly spoke:
"Changqing, come up here and press your hands together with this young brother Jingtian onto the Yin-Yang fish in the Tongtian Stone."

"Yes."

As the two pressed their blood palms onto the yin-yang symbol, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted. Jing Tian was caught off guard and knocked to the ground, while the young man in the white Taoist robe staggered back two or three steps.

The yin-yang symbol then emitted a beam of light, projecting a map-like route into the air.

"Old man, so what you said was all true." Jing Tian looked incredulous: "I really am some kind of celestial being!"

"Chang Yin, quickly write this map down," Elder Cang Gu decided immediately.

"The disciple obeys orders."

Chang Yin took out his paper and pen and quickly drew a map.

"Changqing, Jingtian, you have already gained the approval of the God Realm. You only need to obtain the Five Elemental Pearls by passing through the Ancient Vine Forest, Fengdu, Leizhou, and the Underwater City to reach the God Realm."

Master Qingwei solemnly said:
"After that, put the box I gave you into the Heavenly Pool of the Divine Realm, and that will complete the mission."

"From now on, the gate to the divine realm will be open for three hundred days. You must reach the Heavenly Gate within this time."

Zhuang Buran feigned ignorance:
"Box?"

Elder Canggu said in a harsh voice:
"Why are you asking? As a disciple of Mount Shu, the primary rule is that when you receive an order, you can only do it, not ask questions. Hurry up and get ready to depart." "Disciple obeys."

Starry night, Wuji Pavilion.

"I wonder what brings you five masters to summon your disciple so late at night?"

"Changqing, take off your shoes."

Elder Canggu gestured for the young man in white Taoist robes to sit on a bench that had been specially placed in the hall.

After Zhuang Buran sat on the bench and took off his shoes and socks, he saw Master Qingwei bring him a basin of water to wash his feet with a kind expression.

Immediately, disregarding his status as the head of the Shu Mountain sect and the dignity of the teacher, he insisted on personally washing the feet of the young man in the white Taoist robe.

"disciple."

Zhuang Buran was about to get up when Daoist Qingwei stopped her:

"Just sit down, there's no need to worry about formalities."

After saying that, he began to wash the feet of the young man in the white Taoist robe.

A ripple appeared in Zhuang Buran's eyes. He was directly reincarnated in this world, and it was only because of the three lifetimes of love tribulations in his destiny that he returned to his true self in the third life.

"Changqing, do you think that as the head of the Shu Mountain Sect, one should be aloof and superior, or humble and subservient?"

"Water flows naturally and without obstruction; the way of Heaven is silent and governs by non-action; the way of Earth is silent and bears all things without moving; the way of Humanity is self-cultivation and attaining the Way through inner cultivation."

Zhuang Buran began speaking calmly and methodically:
"All this is because they have gained insight into the great principles of heaven and earth and thus their minds are clear. All this is because they have gained insight into the great principles of heaven and earth and thus they follow the way. Therefore, disciples know the white and guard the black."

Master Qingwei chuckled and said:
"I thought you would say you know the male and keep to the female, but I didn't expect you to say you know the white and keep to the black."

"One knows what strength and power are, yet remains steadfast in the position of femininity and gentleness; the other knows that his nature is pure, yet remains entrenched in the darkness of chaos."

Elder Cang Gu, standing to the side, seemed quite satisfied:

"If one becomes the leader of the Shu Mountain Sect, one should not be too strong, but one should not be too weak either, otherwise one will lose one's edge, which is not good."

Master Qingwei looked up and asked with a smile:

"Changqing, you've read our sect's scriptures since you were a child, and you can recite the principles fluently, but do you really understand them?"

"This disciple does indeed have some questions, and I humbly request that my five masters enlighten me," Zhuang Buran said slowly.
"If a stranger falls into the water and I don't save them, they will die. Should I save them or not?"

"Is it right or wrong to pursue the right result using the wrong method?"

"If killing an innocent person could save ten others, would you save them?"

He spoke each word:
"If killing five people could save thousands, tens of thousands, or even all the people of the world, should we kill them or not?"

Suddenly, the hall fell silent.

When the Five Elders of Mount Shu heard the last part, they were inexplicably shocked. They immediately understood what their eldest disciple had learned.

"The Dao values ​​life and offers boundless salvation; we will not save those who are not saved!"

Master Qingwei spoke with resounding conviction:

"Changqing, to save others, one must first save oneself. If you want to save others, you must eliminate your own confusion and thoroughly understand the Great Dao before you can save all living beings."

"The first principle of our cultivation is to benefit all things. Your own life is also among all things. Whether to save or not is a matter of Yin and Yang in the Tao. The Tao does not restrict your own choices."

"As the saying goes, Taoism talks about 'bearing and bearing,' and Buddhism talks about 'cause and effect.' The choices you make and their consequences are what you bear and bear. There are countless ways to follow the Tao, but the key lies in the word 'adaptability.'"

"The second question also has two sides, mainly depending on you: do you value the process or the result?"

"The art of war and strategy is the essence of my Taoist school. I am originally without form, yet I have myriad forms. What form I am depends on external factors. All the ancient books talk about turning evil into evil, turning evil into good, turning good into good, and reciprocity."

"The Tao, methods, techniques, and tools are all means to achieve non-action. Thus, your first two questions lead to the same conclusion. I only have one word to give you."

"Don't do good deeds, do what you believe is right."

"The third question is similar to the fourth question."

Master Qingwei's eyes narrowed, and he said:
"kill!"
