Although we beat Long Songkan, we saved Huanglong, so we felt at ease with him.

It’s this ox cart, it’s too slow, especially when several of us are sitting in the car now, the load on our body is increasing, so the old ox is walking even slower.

Fortunately, my mood was completely different from that in the morning. I sat in the car, leaning back against Uncle Ma, and squinting at the dusk scenery in the mountains.

At this time yesterday, I was still nervous and restless, and drove here in a taxi for a trip. I had no idea of ​​the purpose of this trip, nor did I know what kind of danger I would go through.

So this person is bound to experience the same thing. Even if you lie down at home, you will always have the power to pull you out of the bed and then let you do something grand.

I think this matter should be considered a grand event, right?

Although we didn't see the enemy from beginning to end, Huang Tianyou said that those Japanese devils never dared to show up and were just playing tricks.

Now that we have saved Huanglong and destroyed those evil spirits, the Japanese must have felt bad, and the backlash will definitely not be able to escape.

At this moment, Uncle Ma was looking at our spoils happily, and then took out a large trunk from it, the size of his arms.

"Ah, you guys, didn't you just say healing Long Song's injuries? Who broke down such a large tree trunk?!"

Master Ren smiled and said, "Don't make a fuss. Anyway, the Huanglong has returned and the array eye has been broken. Let's break it one or two more pieces, it won't be a hindrance, hahahahaha..."

I really always thought that only Uncle Ma could do the trick of sneaking a tree trunk, but I didn't expect that it was done by Master Ren.

Everyone couldn't help laughing together. I touched Uncle Ma with my elbow and said with a smile: "Old Ma, why are you so regular today? If you can't talk, don't move. Isn't this like your style?"

Uncle Ma's expression was subtle, and he smiled, then slowly reached into his arms and took out two palm-sized trunks.

"Sorry, these two pieces are mine, and no one can share them!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

I turned my head and said to Uncle Ma, "Old Ma, where do you think those Japanese will hide? If they make trouble for us like this, can we just wait? Isn't this a bit too passive?"

Uncle Ma was not a joke this time. He put away his smile and sighed and said, "There is nothing we can do. Our country is too big. We can't defend here and there. What's more, some enemies are not Japanese, but lurking inside us, and we can't defend."

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone felt the same way. Huang Tianyou was even more indignant and said, "That's right, as the saying goes, guard against day and night, it's hard to guard against thieves."

Mr. Ren smiled freely and easily: "That's normal. There are traitors, and there are all dynasties and generations. This is the case with all things in the world. There must be evil, and there must be loyalty. If the world is peaceful and the bad people die, then this is not the world, but the heaven."

When Mr. Ren said this, I asked in surprise: "Mr. Ren, isn't heaven a Christian saying? We Taoism also talks about heaven?"

Ren Ye smiled again: "Of course there is, the so-called heaven is not exclusive to Christianity, it is just a translation issue. Just like the West calls God god god, in fact, the word God is from our Taoism, but I didn't know how to translate the word god, so I directly represented it with God."

Huang Tianyou also continued: "Yes, our Jade Emperor's full title is actually 'Haotian Golden Palace Supreme Supreme Natural Miraculous Jade Emperor', also known as 'Taishang Kaitian Zhengfu Yuli Han Zhenti Tao Jinque Yun Palace Nine Void Imperial Li Tian Wuwei Dao Dao Ming Hall Haotian Golden Palace Supreme Jade Emperor forgives sins Great Heaven Emperor Xuanqiong Gao God', and lives in Taiwei Yuqing Palace, which is the emperor in the sky, the supreme ruler of the world of all gods, abbreviated as "Jade Emperor" or "Haotian God", so this is our God, that is not a foreign God."

Huang Tianyou talked about a lot of names of the Jade Emperor, and Uncle Ma also shook his head and said, "That's right, in fact, the Taoist paradise originally refers to the heavenly court, and it is the place where gods live."

At this time, Master Ren shook his head and said, "That's not entirely true. In my opinion, Taoism certainly has its own heaven to pursue, but that is an illusory thing after all, and a place that only gods can go to. But in fact, the real Taoist may not be in the sky. I have some truth, and it may be very nagging, and the words of one family may not be correct. I wonder if you love to listen?"

Anyway, the journey is long and the ox cart is very slow, so we all expressed our willingness to listen.

Master Ren smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Then let me tell you in detail..."

Mr. Ren told us that the biggest difference between Taoism and other sects is that Taoism is a life religion, attaches the most importance to human life, and regards the body as a spiritual residence.

As the saying goes, the way of immortality is precious to life. The meaning of this sentence is that the Tao of immortality is precious, which lies in paying attention to vitality and life. Cultivating immortality and immortality is the main demand.

Therefore, Taoism does not believe in the Dharma-Ending Age or the end of the day, and will not put all hope in the next life. Although it also believes in the past and future life, it will not shirk responsibility for its own life.

Taoism emphasizes that Tao follows nature, the way of heaven bears responsibility, China continues forever, respects heaven and ancestors, pursues truth, explores the way, justice in heaven and earth, maintains justice, and faces reality, and focuses on this life.

Although there are many Taoist priests who are misbehaving in Taoism, the doctrines make us love the world more and strive to build the world better.

The core idea of ​​Taoism is: Tao follows nature, governs without doing anything, and lives in harmony with nature.

Therefore, we must be honest and honest, be honest and honest, and be worthy of heaven and earth. Even if we are in trouble, we should not think that we are born guilty, or we must be entangled in the past life.

No matter what the past and present life are, whether it is gods and Buddhas, or cause and effect, our lives are the greatest miracle in the universe. When we enjoy the wonderfulness of life, we should give back the most exciting self to this life, rather than being spiritual slaves to any gods, and not being bound by cause and effect in the previous life.

Therefore, the cause and effect we believe in must transcend the individual and be free from the narrow self-transcendence, and it is not a selfish paradise.

Therefore, true practice cannot be achieved by chanting scriptures and meditating, nor can it be achieved by being in seclusion every day without asking about the world.

What the true Taoist should do is a kind of continuation of civilization, which is the inheritance of the past era, the responsibility to the present era, and the responsibility to the future era. Therefore, although we believe in gods, we do not believe in gods or fear gods, but fear gods and continue the path of gods.

Because our gods represent the right way of heaven and earth, and also represent a kind of behavior and moral norm.

After all, in ancient times, only those who were noble in character and who made contributions to the country and the people could be awarded the title of gods.

Simply put, there are probably the following characters who can be called gods in ancient times.

The first is the people who are set as role models by the people. They are either loyal or filial or noble in character, which is enough to become a model of public behavior.

The second type is those who have made contributions to the stability of the country, such as generals who died in battle and martyrs who guarded the country.

The third type is for the survival of the people, save the people from water and fire, or contribute to social development in a certain industry.

If you don’t believe it, please see, who is not such a person in the city gods and those who are built to worship in the country?

Therefore, if we believe in gods, we must follow this moral norm and like them, we must keep the "Tao" passed down by the Chinese civilization for thousands of years.

So, what exactly is a Taoist priest?

In fact, Taoist priests also have broad and narrow meanings, and may not be old Taoists who become monks, nor may they be teaching staff living in palaces.

In a broad sense, all those who follow the laws of heaven, those who protect the laws of heaven, those who believe in the laws of heaven, those who firmly follow the great ways, have no shame in heaven and earth, and have no shame in the family and country, including those who have been continually contributing to the development of the country and the progress of civilization, are actually Taoist priests!

These people may not necessarily expect the next life, nor will they pursue a beautiful paradise after death, but rather will turn the land of China into a paradise through their own efforts.

Even if they become gods and immortals after death, it is because of their merits in this life, because of everything they do for the country and for the people.

Therefore, if you become a Taoist priest, you need to convert, and you don’t need to kowtow to the gods. As long as you stick to your own way and your faith, you are actually a qualified Taoist priest.

To sum up, our world is actually our paradise. Even if it is not a paradise, we must build it into a paradise and pass on those beautiful and righteous things. This is the belief of a Taoist priest.

So, what is faith?

In fact, it is very simple. You are not confused, have goals, and can move forward firmly. You are worthy of your family and society. You are not lost in the past, nor are you afraid of the future. You know how to transcend the past.

This is faith.

As long as we do it, we can live up to our ancestors, be worthy of our descendants, be worthy of ourselves and the great way.
