Chapter 354 Cultivation of the Mind
Chapter 354 Cultivation of the Mind
Shangguan Fuyu saw through Shangguan Yunxuan's heart, and flew down from the air to stand in front of him. Shangguan Yunze frowned and Shangguan Yunyi stood timidly beside Luo.
"Yunxuan, what did I say?"
Shangguan Yunxuan pursed his lips and paused for a moment before looking up at him: "Father, you once said that there are three thousand great ways. I have a question."
Shangguan Fuyu did not respond, but signaled him to continue with his eyes.
"Father, you once said that there are three thousand great ways, but they all lead to the same destination. Why do you still fight against each other so fiercely? The road of cultivation is full of difficulties and dangers. Why do you focus on competing with each other, killing people, and creating karma for yourself?"
Shangguan Fuyu stared at him steadily, without answering, and asked, "You don't want to ask me why I want you to kill him?"
Shangguan Yunxuan said seriously: "He wants to deal with mother. As a son, I naturally have to clear all dangers and obstacles for mother. Killing him is not wrong. He went to Xuantian Sect and challenged the majesty of Xuantian Sect. My son is his father's child and a member of Xuantian Sect. Killing him is justified."
Shangguan Fuyu nodded and said, "What doubts do you have now? You already have the answer, don't you?"
Shangguan Yunxuan paused, with a confused yet enlightened expression on his face, causing Shangguan Fuyu to bend down and rub his head: "Yunxuan, Yunze, Yunyi, listen carefully. Although cultivators care about cause and effect, the most important thing in cultivation is to cultivate the mind. This does not mean that you should be cold-hearted or cruel and bloodthirsty. No matter what you do, whether it is killing or saving people, as long as you are true to your conscience and stick to your original intention, you will eventually achieve the Tao. This is the common goal of the Great Dao."
The three children were confused, and Yunxuan was also a little bewildered.
Yun Lei couldn't listen any longer and stepped forward: "What your father said is that if someone hits you, you should hit back. Who cares about karma or the great way? Cultivation is against the will of heaven. Why do you want to make yourself feel aggrieved when it is against the will of heaven?
Fight when you need to fight, kill when you need to kill, grab opportunities when you need to grab opportunities, only when you are happy, your mind will be stable, why care so much? In this world, the strong are respected, as long as you are strong enough, who can question you?
Anyway, no matter what technique you practice, whether you follow the right path or the evil path, in the end, you will all end up on the same path of transcending the tribulation and ascending to heaven. So don't let yourself be wronged."
Shangguan Yunxuan understood and looked to Shangguan Fuyu for confirmation: "Is that so? Father?"
Shangguan Fuyu glanced at Yun Lei and sighed: "Yes."
Yun Lei bent down and picked up Shangguan Yunxuan: "Little brat, your second father will tell you something, we cultivators are all about competitiveness! Pursuing the truth of the great way is all bullshit, who cultivates immortals for the magical power of reaching the sky to pick the stars, and for endless life, everyone has their own selfish reasons, otherwise why would so many people risk their lives to take this path?
Those sanctimonious people who say that the purpose of cultivation is to save the world with their own lives are all hypocritical. This is the path they want to take. If they give everything to save people, they will get twice as much or even more. They can gain more benefits and win people's hearts. Why not do it?
If one is really so noble, then his actions would not be known to others. Seeking fame and reputation is nothing but hypocrisy. No one in this world is selfless. Everyone who embarks on cultivation has a goal, and having a goal is selfishness. So Yunxuan, why are you cultivating?"
Shangguan Yunxuan's eyes were firm: "To protect everything I want to protect."
"Yes! This is your selfishness! It is also your true heart!" Yun Lei put the man down and looked at Shangguan Yunze and Shangguan Yunyi: "What about you? Why do you practice?"
"Just like my elder brother, protect everything I cherish." Shangguan Yunze put away his playful smile and looked serious and earnest for a rare time.
Shangguan Yunyi clenched his fist: "I, I want to protect my mother!"
Yun Lei was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Why don't you protect your father, Yun Yi?"
Shangguan Yunyi looked at Shangguan Fuyu timidly, lowered his head and twisted his fingers: "But Dad, father is very strong and does not need my protection."
Linghu Bei teased him with evil humor: "So you despise your mother for being weak? I'm going to complain to her when she comes back."
Shangguan Yunyi looked at Linghu Bei in disbelief, almost crying: "No, it's not Third Daddy! I didn't mean that..."
Shangguan Fuyu glared at Linghu Bei helplessly, and said to Shangguan Yunyi: "Yunyi, you need to change your temper. When crying can't solve the problem, it will only make people feel ridiculous."
Luo smiled and squatted down to wipe Shangguan Yunyi's tears: "Yunyi, your father is right, no man will not shed tears easily, and no man has gold under his knees. Tears can sometimes be a weapon, and showing weakness is also a strategy. You will understand this when you grow up."
Shangguan Yunze smiled again and said, "Hehe, I know! Mother is the softest-hearted one. If you cry to her, you can get her love!"
Luo raised his hand and poked Shangguan Yunze on the forehead: "You, be careful that your mother will hear this and beat you up."
"Humph, no way! Mother loves us the most!" Shangguan Yunze put his hands on his hips proudly.
"Okay, let's go back first. We still have things to do next."
Shangguan Fuyu gave the order and everyone returned to Xuantian Sect.
Fu Tianguang looked at them, feeling deeply moved, and turned to all the disciples and said, "Let's clean up. Our Xuantian Sect can also take the position of the number one sect in the spiritual world."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
……
The destruction of Piaomiao Sect caused an uproar in the entire spiritual world. Some people gloated over the misfortune, some sighed, some were sarcastic, and there was a lot of discussion and different opinions.
Only the people in the Underworld Palace felt uneasy.
"General Ming, what should we do next?"
At the gathering point of the dark shadows, Feng Shanrou rubbed her eyebrows in annoyance.
She didn't do Yun Yi's job well, but the Underworld Palace didn't punish her for it. She was already in torment of anxiety.
Now the Piaomiao Sect has been wiped out by the Xuantian Sect.
Many dark shadows were also eliminated in secret, and she had a vague premonition that it would be their turn next.
She suspected that this was the work of Xuantian Sect.
But she acted too decisively, and she couldn't find any clues to prove it. The bad premonition in her heart only grew stronger.
"Elder Qi Guan, aren't you an elder of Xuan Tian Sect? Do you think the purge of Mingying has anything to do with Xuan Tian Sect?"
Feng Shanrou looked at Qi Guanhuan, who had been silent all the time, and her expression changed slightly.
Qi Guanhuan raised his eyes, expressionless: "I don't know."
Feng Shanrou sneered: "Elder Qi Guan is too modest. You are also a general of the underworld. You don't need to call me your subordinate. I dare not accept your courtesy."
Qi Guanhuan still had no expression on his face: "You have the Pluto Order."
Feng Shanrou curled the corners of her mouth. She had gotten used to his attitude for some time.
