"what?!"
Zhang Wuling almost jumped up on the spot and looked at Mr. Dou Ba in disbelief.
Why the hell is there something about the old Taoist priest in this?!
No, you are thousands of miles away, meditating in seclusion, and you still set a trap for me?
"Are you sure that the old Taoist priest recommended me to you?" Zhang Wuling asked.
Mr. Dou nodded: "Yes."
"What did the old man say?"
"Uh..." Mr. Dou Ba rolled his eyes and smiled, "Master Zhang said that he is old and frail, and it is difficult for him to travel. Besides, he is only good at martial arts and not good at education, so he is afraid that he can't help."
When Zhang Wuling heard this and thought about the image of the old Taoist priest, he felt that it made a lot of sense.
It seems that the old man is quite self-aware!
Across from him, the Immortal Master Changsheng had found a rock to sit on at some point, holding a hydrangea, and gazing at the night sky in the distance with a calm expression.
He is a man-eating monster, but he also has the opposite calmness and elegance.
Unlike other demons, he is not tyrannical, cruel, bloodthirsty and aggressive.
Two completely opposite temperaments, strangely yet harmoniously blended into one.
Zhang Wuling noticed that the Immortal Master Changsheng didn't move, so he asked curiously, "Then how did the old Heavenly Master recommend me to you?"
Dou Baye coughed twice and said, "Zhang Tianshi said that Master Zhang is young and strong, with profound knowledge of Taoism. His cultivation and grace make him feel ashamed and far behind. He is powerful but low-key and humble, and his wisdom is profound but not obvious to others. He is a rare genius in Taoism for a thousand years, and a banished immortal unparalleled in the world."
"Furthermore, it is said that Master Zhang is kind-hearted, open-minded, and hates evil with great compassion. His talent and martial arts are superior to his. Therefore, only Master Zhang can take on such an important task, and only Master Zhang can resolve this matter!"
Mr. Dou Ba finished speaking in one breath, and his speech was eloquent and incessant.
"Wow, hahaha!" Zhang Wuling laughed a few times and waved his hands. "Hey, old Heavenly Master, you really know me so well. You are so clear about my strengths and never make any mistakes. I feel embarrassed by your praise."
"That's that's..."
Mr. Dou wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded with a bright smile.
In fact, all those words he just said were the result of racking his brains.
Would Master Zhang say these?
The original words were just one sentence——
"You guys go find Zhang Wuling. This guy is good at making excuses and is perfect for this kind of job."
To be honest, if it weren't for Zhang Tianshi's guarantee, would they really dare to cheat a Taoist genius?
Do you really think they are so powerful? They would have greeted everyone above and below them and made connections before they dared to do this!
Otherwise, do you really think that the sword of Emperor Zhenwu is not sharp?
Even if this great god did not take action, there are still a lot of old and capable fighters on Wudang Mountain. Why did he inexplicably trick other people's disciples? Did he really think that he could not lift the sword?
After Zhang Wuling finished laughing, he patted his chest and said confidently, "Since the old Heavenly Master has said so, then I will take care of this matter. Let's see how I can save this demon!"
After saying that, he strode up to the Immortal Master Changsheng and also found a stone to sit on.
"We're done talking." Immortal Master Changsheng looked away and asked.
"Come on!" Zhang Wuling crossed his legs and said seriously, "If you have any questions, just tell me."
The Immortal Master Changsheng shook his head: "I am not puzzled, I just don't understand why I still can't become an immortal and ascend after so many years."
"You eat people and kill people, how can you ascend to become an immortal?"
The Immortal Master Changsheng smiled and said, "Just now, Dou Ba called you a True Person. Although you are young, after the battle just now, your cultivation strength is indeed qualified to bear the title of True Person."
"Excuse me, sir, have you ever killed a human being and eaten their flesh?"
Zhang Wuling nodded calmly: "Kill it and eat the meat."
The Immortal Master Changsheng asked, "Since the Immortal Master also kills and eats flesh, why do you question me for cannibalism?"
Zhang Wuling said calmly, "I don't kill innocent people for no reason. I'm not overly greedy and I even eat vegetarian food. But who are you eating and what kind of lives you're killing? Don't you know it in your heart?"
"Haha." Immortal Changsheng shook his head. "What's the point of talking about good and evil? Is there good and evil in the laws of nature? Good and evil are all determined by humans. What you said is nothing but hypocritical sophistry."
Damn, this old guy is a bit unreasonable!
Zhang Wuling blinked, feeling that he would not be able to break the opponent's tactics by using common sense.
It seems that I have to change my approach and go all out...
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Wuling spoke up, "It seems you follow the Way of Heaven as your guideline, but you don't understand why you are not recognized by Heaven and cannot become an immortal."
"That's right." The Immortal Master Changsheng admitted, "I have a pure heart, free from sorrow and joy, free from desire and emotion. I believe I am in accordance with reason, beyond good and evil, right and wrong, and extremely pure. Why can't I become an immortal?"
Zhang Wuling said, "No, you're wrong. You think you're following the Way of Heaven, but in reality, you're just deceiving yourself. I kill people and bury them in the ground, and their bodies turn into waste to nourish the flowers and plants. I eat meat and poop, and my feces and urine fertilize the crops. But you eat people and kill them, but have you ever given back to the living beings or the heaven and earth? You only take a tiny fraction, not a hair. How can that be the Way of Heaven? You're only satisfying your own selfish desires!"
pat-
Mr. Dou Ba, who was standing aside, dropped the wooden stick in his hand to the ground.
The pair of eyes, which were suppressed by long eyebrows, were wide open with a look of disbelief.
No, this is the Taoist genius that the old Taoist priest recommended with great confidence?
Isn't this a bit too... crude?!
He originally thought that the discussion between the two would be full of gems, like the sound of a huge bell, and thought-provoking.
result……
The Immortal Master Changsheng was also obviously stunned. There were two reasons for his stunnedness. The first one was similar to that of Mr. Dou Baye. He did not expect the other party to speak so vulgarly.
The second thing is, what the other party said does seem to make some sense...
Seeing that his words had intimidated the other party, Zhang Wuling immediately pressed on, launching into a barrage of attacks: "Killing and eating meat is evil, I am selfish, I am angry and have selfish desires, then I admit it! What about you? Do you admit it?"
"I..."
"You only know how to kill and take. You claim to understand good and evil, right and wrong, and morality, but you refuse to admit that what you do is selfish and self-serving. You don't feel that you have committed many evil deeds. You insist on using the principles of heaven as a cover and morality as a facade to feel detached, but in reality, you are still selfish!"
Zhang Wuling stood up, pointed his finger at the Immortal Changsheng's nose, and cursed: "The most basic thing for a cultivator is sincerity. Let me ask you, are you sincere?"
"The laws of nature are merciless, the sun and the moon move inexorably. They are neither good nor evil, yet they burn the plants and trees, causing them to wither. At the same time, their light shines upon them, causing them to grow and develop."
"When a farmer harvests rice straw, he also needs to till the soil and apply fertilizer. When a butcher slaughters pigs and cattle, he also shares the food with the public in order to survive!"
"And you, why do you kill? You neither repay the heaven and earth nor show kindness to all living beings. The only one who benefits is you!"
"These evildoers in the temple are all pale and thin. They serve you and provide for you, yet you feast on their flesh and blood!"
"Heaven does not distinguish between good and evil because good and evil are one. Heaven does not distinguish between black and white because black and white coexist. Heaven and earth are ruthless, yet they give birth to all sentient beings!"
"You think you're an immortal? You're not even human! Worse than an animal!"
"You think you're an immortal, but you're actually a demon. You think you're righteous, but you're actually evil. And yet you're still dreaming and obsessed with talking about ascending to heaven. If you could just admit you're an evil demon, I'd still think highly of you. After all, an evil demon admits he's an evil demon and knows for himself."
"And you, you did something bad and called yourself a saint, you became a whore and still want to pretend to be a saint, and you still want to discuss the Dao with me? Do you have the Dao? Why should I discuss the Dao with a person without the Dao?"
"Bah! Disgusting!"
