I'm just an internet cafe owner

Upon hearing this, Xu Xian continued, "If that's the case, then I must mention the Goddess Nuwa. The Goddess Nuwa has a human body and a snake's tail..."

In your opinion, is she human or a demon? The descendants of Nuwa also have human bodies and snake tails, so are they considered human or demons?

Fahai: "You!!!"

At that moment, Fahai dared not open his mouth, for a voice from the depths of his being told to be careful with his words. The punishment for speaking carelessly about these matters might be even more severe than the loss of all his magical power he had previously suffered.

Seeing that Fahai remained silent, Xu Xian continued, "Thousands of years ago, Erlang Shen split the mountain to save his mother, and hundreds of years ago, Chenxiang split the mountain to change the Heavenly Laws. Since then, whether human, demon, or immortal, people can fall in love, but their offspring cannot cultivate. Since the Heavenly Laws allow free love, I don't know why you are stopping us, Master?"

Upon hearing this, Fahai was completely stunned: "How do you know all this?"

Xu Xian: "How I know these things is not important, Master. I just want to know which heavenly rule my wife has violated, which heavenly law she has broken. If you say she has disrupted the order of the Three Realms, then I'll laugh. The order of the underworld is the cycle of life and death, the order of the heavenly realm is the heavenly rules and laws, and the order of the human world is the laws and regulations. So, tell me, which law stipulates that humans and demons cannot fall in love?"

Fahai remained silent, clenching his fists as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

Meanwhile, Xu Xian didn't stop at all. The most important thing he learned from the masters these days was to persuade people with reason. Especially in this cultivation background, no matter how weak the other party is, you can't kill them at will. You have to make them understand what reason is.

Whether to use words or fists to reason with him depends on the actual situation. Since Fahai was only making noise around his own house, Xu Xian decided to reason with him properly.

In the past, Xu Xian wouldn't have understood anything, but after entering the internet cafe and learning about various myths, as well as the many things that had happened in his own world, Xu Xian became incredibly bold.

Xu Xian continued, “Since my wife has transformed into human form, she must naturally abide by human laws. If my wife is guilty, you can go to the authorities and assist them in arresting her. But unfortunately, my wife is not only innocent, but also a very good person. If it is said that love between humans and demons is forbidden by heaven and earth, then go to the heavenly rules and laws. If such heavenly rules and laws exist, I, Xu Xian, am willing to separate from my wife.”

"If it's just your obsession that makes you want to suppress my wife, then don't blame me for reporting you to the authorities. On the contrary, my wife and I had a perfectly legitimate wedding, even recognized by the government. The Heavenly Court even had the Old Man of the Moon to match us, proving that our love is perfectly reasonable. So I want to ask Master Fahai, why are you so fixated on the idea that my wife is a demon? Why are you so fixated on the fact that we can't be together? No way! No way! The renowned Master Fahai hasn't fallen in love, has he? Is it because you're jealous of me that you're trying to forcibly separate my wife and me?"

Xu Xian's chattering mouth was like a machine gun, leaving Fahai completely speechless. Retort? How could he refute it? Many things were established facts, and he simply couldn't refute them.

Therefore, Fahai can only keep saying things like, "A demon is a demon, and a human is a human. Humans and demons cannot live together!"

How to put it? At first, Xu Xian was a little scared when he heard this, but after he had followed the big shots and learned how to use the rules, he was no longer afraid.

If you have the ability, then make a move. According to the Great Sage, there is a Fighting Buddha in the world he lives in. The Fighting Buddha saw the Great Sage's three monkey hairs and naturally knew the cause and effect.

It's just a love story between a minor demon on the verge of immortality and a mortal; it won't affect the workings of heaven and earth, so the Victorious Fighting Buddha is naturally willing to help them. Of course, the Victorious Fighting Buddha won't do anything in this world, he'll just watch. But this watching is significant; it's equivalent to having a powerful figure taking sides.

After all, the world is only so big, and the karma that Xu Xian got involved with after coming into contact with the gods of another world will naturally be known to these gods of this world.

Just like Erlang Shen, his attitude after finding out was indifferent. As long as he didn't violate any heavenly rules, he could do whatever he wanted. As for Nezha in this world? He was still wondering if Xu Xian would cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace. If he did, then what was the point of offering help?

There hasn't been any fun in this world for hundreds of years. Originally, the affair between Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen, and Fahai wasn't considered fun at all by the celestial beings; in fact, the fun would have ended before they even discovered it.

Now that Xu Xian has appeared and the karma he's involved in is enough to make everyone watch and have fun, so of course they'll take a look. Although none of them will actually help, as I said before, once these gods start paying attention to this matter, the nature of the matter changes.

Xu Xian, on the other hand, was equally unforgiving. At first, he only talked about the rules, but now he started talking about Buddhist teachings.

When it comes to Buddhist teachings, Fahai couldn't win an argument, not only because Xu Xian had messed with the Huasheng Temple, but also because Fahai had directly sought help from Sun Wukong when they encountered Fahai. And Sun Wukong? He simply squatted down next to the Buddha, asking the Buddha the same questions Xu Xian asked, and his answers left Fahai speechless.

Speaking of law, Xu Xian had already recorded all the rules of heaven, laws of the human world, and rules of the underworld in his own world. How could Fahai possibly have said anything about Xu Xian?

Chapter 630 Xu Xian: "Come! Fahai, read with me."

"I!!"

"you!!"

"this…"

Fahai wanted to refute, but couldn't utter a single word. Xu Xian, on the other hand, started by providing a barrage of examples.

For example, a demon that transforms into a human retains some of its demonic characteristics; its physical structure remains human.

Children who are born are also human beings; they can cry, laugh, and jump high. Doesn't that make them human?

If a person robs and plunders, pollutes the environment, and sets fires all over the mountains, even if his physical structure is human, is his spirit a demon?

The worlds connected to internet cafes are too numerous to list. Just pick a few examples from any of these worlds, embellish them slightly, and you've already rendered Fahai speechless. How can you refute it? There's no way to refute it.

Neither the Buddhist teachings of self-salvation nor the teachings of the world can refute Xu Xian. With outside assistance, it would be a miracle if Fahai could out-argue Xu Xian.

Xu Xian continued rambling on and on, but Fahai couldn't stand it anymore.

"Enough!!!"

Xu Xian: "How is that enough? You haven't answered my questions from beginning to end. Since you can't answer them, let me answer what humanity is, what Buddhism is, and what the truth of this world is. What is humanity!"

"Enough! Enough! Enough!"

Xu Xian: "How could that be? I think your understanding of human nature and Buddhism is not thorough enough, so I'm telling you what I know. If you think I'm wrong, you can talk to me and share your thoughts. Don't worry, I respect personal opinions. No matter how you see it, I will listen carefully and discuss the parts where our understandings conflict."

Before Xu Xian could finish speaking, Fahai went completely berserk. His magical power swirled around him, and the surrounding air seemed to become much heavier due to its influence.

Seeing this, Xu Xian didn't stop talking: "I'm telling you, monk, I don't want to talk to you, yet you keep making noise and muttering around my house. I come out to talk to you, and you try to hit me? You say you're studying Buddhism? You haven't just mindlessly studied Buddhism and gotten yourself hooked, have you? It's alright, I've met some people like you before. Today, let's have a good talk, you can express your doubts, and I'll share my perspective..."

This time, Fahai really made a move. Fahai used his magic against Xu Xian. Faced with Fahai's unreasonable behavior, Xu Xian was somewhat annoyed. Even a clay figure has some temper; he, Xu Xian, neither stole nor robbed, much less used the power of other worlds to do evil.

In fact, to help more people survive, he even obtained ordinary grains with extremely high yields and learned some medical skills. Although learning medicine couldn't save the world, Xu Xian didn't have such grand ambitions or many other thoughts. He simply wanted to use his medical skills to help as many people as he could, without worrying about changing the world.

He believed that such a capable person would emerge in his world in the future, and he would naturally lend a hand when the time came. Otherwise, he just wanted to be a free couple with his wife.

But instead of talking to him properly, Fahai actually resorted to violence? Although Xu Xian was now a weak scholar, the old abbot had specifically told him something when he was studying at Huasheng Temple.

“Xu Xian! Remember, our Huasheng Temple heals, saves, and spreads Buddhism to people who can communicate normally. If you encounter someone who tries to fight on sight, be sure to slap him so he knows that even lay disciples of Huasheng Temple are not to be trifled with.”

Even in Fantasy Westward Journey, whether players want to get married or not, the old host will teach them everything he knows.

According to the old abbot's attitude in the game: "I am teaching you these skills not because of your special status, but because you can spread this Buddhist teaching and the art of healing and saving lives, and help more people."

After studying Buddhism more deeply, Xu Xian discovered that Buddhist thought was not as narrow as he had imagined. It was just that some people who had the power of interpretation over-interpreted it and even created such mysterious things for the sake of incense offerings.

Whether it's Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism, Xu Xian believes they all speak of worldly truths. Although they differ from one another, an ordinary person can certainly learn from each other.

Just like with gods, useless gods can die, while useful gods remain.

Seeing Fahai already attacking, Xu Xian wanted to say something. But before he could speak, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing simultaneously blocked Fahai's attack.

"Fahai! What are you going to do to my husband?"

"Fahai! You've been banging on things here every day, and now you want to hurt your brother-in-law?"

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were chatting in the room. Xiaoqing was criticizing Xu Xian for this and that, while Bai Suzhen was knitting clothes for her future child while laughing.

Well, although Xiaoqing always criticizes Xu Xian, it's not about his character; she just thinks he's a bit soft-hearted. At the same time, she feels a bit resentful that her older sister is being taken advantage of by Xu Xian, a scholar.

But ultimately, it's just the younger sister being jealous that the older sister is always watching her brother-in-law and trying to get her attention. But what if someone actually tries to bully her brother-in-law? Xiaoqing, for her older sister's sake, will teach that person a lesson.

However, she was quite impressed with Xu Xian today. He actually managed to make Fahai angry, so he must have some skills.

As for Fahai himself? Xiaoqing alone might not be able to handle him, but Bai Suzhen has a thousand years of cultivation and has been guided by Guanyin Bodhisattva. Although her magical power has decreased a lot due to her pregnancy, she is still more than capable of dealing with Fahai.

Standing in front of Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen asked worriedly, "Husband, are you alright?"

Xu Xian shook his head: "Of course it's alright. And my wife, how can you use magic in your current state?"

"Husband?"

Xu Xian: "It's alright, don't worry. I already said I know the Monkey King, and I also know Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Manifestation. As a doctor, I'm here to help him."

They've defeated many formidable enemies, and they taught me some tricks. I can handle dealing with some thugs and violent attacks.

Bai Suzhen: "?"

Xiaoqing: "?"

Xu Xian took Bai Suzhen's hand and said, "My wife, please rest assured. You know me. I never do anything rash."

"puff!"

These words stunned Xiao Qing. Not to do anything reckless? How many reckless things has Xu Xian done? Back in Banbuduo, he was incredibly reckless, and after losing his memory, he even dared to jump off the Trial Love Cliff for his sister.

Xiaoqing might believe that everyone else in the world wasn't a brute, but if she heard that Xu Xian wasn't a brute, she would laugh out loud in the middle of the night.

"Can…"

Just as Bai Suzhen was about to speak, Xu Xian stopped her: "It's alright, trust your husband. Although I don't have any great abilities, Fahai can't do anything to me. Don't worry, my wife, Fahai is just temporarily attached to appearances. Just have a good talk with him and it will be fine."

Seeing Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing step forward, Fahai knew that today's matter would be left unresolved.

Fahai: "Hmph! I'll take you all down sooner or later!"

He didn't dare say anything more and turned to leave.

However, would Xu Xian let him leave? Obviously not. Although he was kind and helpful, and often just smiled and let things slide when provoked by others.

But today, he couldn't let Fahai off the hook. Because in his view, Fahai had become attached to appearances. Simply put, he had gone astray from studying Buddhism.

Xu Xian understood this matter. According to Sun Wukong, "In this world, there are always some people who like to get stuck on trivial details, believing that what they have learned is correct. They never consider when, under what circumstances, or why the Buddha said those things, nor do they consider why many rules and regulations were established. They just blindly follow the rules. But the truth of this world is not immutable. Just look at these heavenly rules and regulations; when it's time to change, they change too!"

In Xu Xian's view, Fahai was the kind of person Sun Wukong described as attached to appearances. It was even possible that he had fallen into demonic ways because he couldn't subdue Bai Suzhen. For the sake of his wife, Xu Xian decided to have a proper talk with Fahai.

This time, however, Xu Xian used his fist.

"Fahai, I have tolerated you time and time again, but you remain stubborn. Today I will teach you a lesson about the rules of the Three Realms."

Fahai, whose wrist was being held by Xu Xian, tried to break free, but he suddenly realized that no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from Xu Xian's hand.

"what are you up to?"

Xu Xian: "I'm just letting you know what the rules are in the Three Realms. Love between humans, immortals, and demons is never the cause of chaos in the Three Realms. What truly disrupts the Three Realms is using one's abilities to do whatever one wants, always doing what one thinks is right. Although Senior Da Gu said to do what one thinks is right, the prerequisite for doing what one thinks is right is to know what is right and what is wrong. It's obvious, Fahai, that you don't know what is right and what is wrong. You've just combined some of your own knowledge with Buddhist teachings to create what you think is correct. Heh, your understanding of Buddhism is probably even worse than that of an old monk in a temple, and yet you're here babbling on and on!"

Listening to Xu Xian's words, Fahai felt only one thing: his head was spinning.

"Let go!!!"

Fahai was truly enraged this time. He unleashed his full power, using all his magic to teach Xu Xian a lesson. However, he was using Buddhist magic, and what effect would Buddhism have on Xu Xian, a renowned disciple from Huasheng Temple?

Besides, even if it wasn't Buddhist teachings but ordinary magic, it wouldn't be able to do anything to Xu Xian. He had learned the Vajra Indestructible Body technique, and although he hadn't reached the highest level, he could still block Fahai's magic.

"open!"

Xu Xian: "You! Don't be so polite with me. Judging from your state, you haven't read enough books. Do you know how many books I've read? Books from five whole worlds! And I'm not just a bookworm. To understand these things, I've gone through countless trials in ten worlds. Don't worry! I will make you understand what this world needs. I will definitely not let your Buddhist teachings be in vain."

So, under the watchful eyes of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, Xu Xian first slapped the struggling Fahai unconscious, dragged him home, and then placed him on a strange hollow wooden block.

"Husband...this..."

Bai Suzhen wanted to say something, but everything was too abstract, so abstract that she didn't know how to start.

Xu Xian laughed and said, "My wife, you just need to rest. This monk has gotten carried away with his Buddhist practice. Your husband has read some miscellaneous books, so I'm sure I can explain Fahai clearly."

"My lord..."

As Xu Xian closed the door, Bai Suzhen had a strange feeling.

Xiaoqing, peering through the doorway, whispered, "Sister, this guy seems to be really explaining Buddhist teachings to Fahai. He's also talking about worldly truths. Hey? You know what, what he's saying actually makes some sense. He didn't study for nothing, did he?"

As the saying goes, a good teacher produces outstanding students. Although Xu Xian didn't formally become a disciple, those who learned from him in TT and the game were all extremely skilled. Ordinary people only need to learn a little bit to benefit from for a lifetime, but Xu Xian learned everything that could be learned.

What's the difference? Compared to true masters or those with high comprehension, Xu Xian couldn't grasp much. If he were truly insightful, he wouldn't have needed to consult Sun Wukong on deeper levels of Buddhist teachings. Besides, comprehension...
