Chapter 164: Heaven and Earth Will Destroy Those Who Do Not Act for Themselves (Third Update)

  It wasn't until then that everyone snapped back to reality. No, today's theme was not about Jiang Xiaoyu and Sakyamuni's bet; this was just a side branch of the main topic. The main event was still the answer to that question, which many people wanted to know. If it weren't for Sakyamuni's sudden interruption, perhaps they would have already known the answer by now.

  Is the morning sun closer to them or is it the noon sun? Many people's eyes turned to Jiang Xiaoyu, with a look of longing for the answer. This is a kind of pursuit of knowledge, an exploration of the unknown.

  Looking at Sakyamuni, Jiang Xiaoyu was immersed for a while, he was thinking, thinking about Sakyamuni's thoughts. He felt that he couldn't see through the thoughts of this Buddhist master now. The Sakyamuni in this world and the Sakyamuni on Earth were too different, and he didn't know how specifically. After all, on Earth, Sakyamuni was an ancient person, while he was a modern person, and there was no connection between them.

  Perhaps the spirit and doctrine are the same, but there is a big difference in terms of character.

  "It's actually the same." Jiang Xiaoyu finally spoke up, "Whether it's morning or noon, the distance of the sun from our position is the same. The reason why this question can cause controversy and entanglement is because our eyes and senses deceive ourselves."

  "If you could leave this world and observe from outside, you would find that the sun has never moved, nor have we here."

  Regarding the geographical issues of this world, Jiang Xiaoyu had come to a conclusion that it was different from Earth. The Earth is round, but this world isn't! The distance of the sun is indeed as he said, all are the same. However, in reality, it's just an ozone layer problem. But for this world, the term "ozone layer" is quite unfamiliar and difficult to explain, so he simply put it another way.

  "Eyes and senses deceive oneself..." Many people fell into deep thought because of this sentence. Everyone's feelings after hearing it are different.

  Sakyamuni lowered his head, Zhuangzi looked up at the sky, and Lier had not yet fully emerged from Sakyamuni's character. As for Jiang Xiaoyu's disciples, they were all puzzled, the more they listened, the more mysterious it seemed, and they couldn't understand the reasoning at all. Only Ai Wenshuo was a bit higher in realm, and she gained a lot of insight from it.

  "The significance of the answer is not whether it's correct or not. The significance lies in whether you are firm with yourself." Jiang Xiao Yu spoke again. After hearing this, many people's eyes lit up, and some had an epiphany!

  Today's topic has come to a thorough end. After knowing the answer to this question, many people still can't figure it out. The words of Bodhi Patriarch are full of mysterious and profound feelings, always feeling that there is more to it than meets the eye, not just as simple as the literal meaning.

  "It's been a long time, I should go back." Jiang Xiaoyu said to Zhuangzi. Then he looked at Li Er with his eyes, and then looked at Zhuangzi again, the meaning was very clear, Li Er's ideological work still needs you to do it!

  After all, suddenly discovering the true face of a good friend is indeed unacceptable. Li Er is not stupid and knows that he was used by Sakyamuni as a gun. Who would be comfortable if they were in his shoes? Moreover, Li Er considered him to be a kindred spirit.

  Zhuangzi nodded helplessly. He had long told Li Er to keep some distance from Sakyamuni, but he never listened to others' advice! Now that he's in trouble, let him suffer a bit! However, Zhuangzi wouldn't say these words to Li Er. Everyone understands the reasoning, and for this old friend, he naturally has his own way of comforting him.

  After nodding in agreement, Jiang Xiaoyu took his wife and apprentice to leave the Dao Gate. As they walked away, the disciples of the Dao Gate shouted in unison, "Farewell, Bodhi Senior!"

  Jiang Xiaoyu's words gave them a lot of insight, and they were truly grateful from the bottom of their hearts, which is why they took such actions. It has to be said that some people still have a conscience, if you treat him well, he will naturally treat you well. But there are some people, no matter how good you are to them, it's all in vain.

  It's not that you're good to him, but it's asking for a return. However, this approach is indeed very disgusting! After returning to Fangcun Mountain, Jiang Xiaoyu looked at his disciples and asked, "What insights have you gained from this incident?"

  Everyone was stunned at first, and then Aiwenshu stood up and said: "Master's words are very mysterious, the disciple can only understand one or two tenths for the time being."

  Jiang Xiaoyu slightly shook her head and said: "What I asked was not this, but about the matter of Sakyamuni."

  What a good example, if he doesn't take it out to teach his disciples, then this master is too failed! Looking at the expressions of the crowd, one by one they are eager to move, Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly speechless. It seems that everyone has their own opinion on this matter of Shakyamuni!

  If Jie Ke Mo Ni knew, Jiang Xiao Yu took him as a negative teaching material, really didn't know what to think, would he spit out another mouthful of blood? Jiang Xiao Yu thought secretly in his heart.

  "I'll go first!"

  "I'm your senior, let me speak first!"

  "Cough cough, I'm the biggest, I'll go first..."

  Watching the disciples argue over the matter of Shakyamuni, they all started quarreling. Jiang Xiaoyu immediately stopped them and said: "One by one, starting from Qin Feng, speak in order!"

  These naughty kids, really don't let people worry!

  "Master, I think being a human absolutely cannot be like Sakyamuni, so shameless..." Qin Feng felt somewhat embarrassed.

  "Master, I think Shakya's face is too thick, and I estimate that I will not be able to reach this state in this life!" Ai Wenshuo said very seriously.

  "Master, this Shakyamuni guy is nothing special except for his decent abilities..."

  "Master..."

  "Halt!" Jiang Xiaoyu immediately stopped them, "What I asked you to say is what you have gained insight into from it, not to criticize him! However, what you said also makes some sense..."

  However, Jiang Xiaoyu soon corrected his facial expression and said with a very serious tone: "It's just one sentence, if you don't strive for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you!"

  "Master, I understand! If one doesn't think for oneself, even the heavens will look down on you with disdain, and want to chop you up! Master, are you trying to tell us that we must always think of ourselves?" Fang Heng hastily replied.

  Who knew, Jiang Xiao Yu directly knocked on his head! As a result, Ai Wen Xue and others were puzzled, didn't this sentence mean that? Why did the master want to hit Fang Hen? Was there something wrong somewhere?

  Looking at the apprentices' puzzled expressions, Jiang Xiaoyu was speechless, and his mouth twitched slightly as he said: "You all think that if one doesn't work for personal gain, heaven will destroy him and earth will extinguish him. Is this sentence meant to be understood in the way Fang Hen said?"

  Everyone nodded in agreement like a small chicken pecking at rice, Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Xu Rou helplessly and asked unwillingly: "Wife, do you also think it means this?"

  "I don't know..." Xu Rou turned her head to the side. She really thought it meant that. But looking at Jiang Xiao Yu's expression, it seemed like it didn't mean that, so pretending to be stupid was a bit better for now.

  "Alright, let me tell you what this sentence really means. The phrase 'if one does not cultivate their own virtue, heaven and earth will be destroyed' actually means that if a person does not cultivate their own moral character, it is something that even heaven and earth cannot tolerate! The case of Sakyamuni was precisely because his own moral character had problems! Therefore, what I want to tell you is that the most precious and difficult thing in cultivation is not spiritual states or innate talent, but rather your own self-cultivation."

  This sentence is profound. No wonder Jiang Xiaoyu was so cautious. The higher the boundary, the stronger the strength, and the more terrifying the grasp of power will be, it's inevitable that one's heart will change. Things you only dared to think about but not dare to do before may also be done, of course this is in a bad way. So, he wanted to remind his disciples to always remember to cultivate their own virtues at all times and places.

  At this time, they put away their smiling faces. The master was so kind-hearted that they naturally wanted to remember it in their hearts and said in unison: "Disciples will remember in their hearts, at any time and place, the master's words today, to urge themselves!"

  Jiang Xiaoyu smiled contentedly then.

  Five days later, the name of Fangcun Mountain shook every corner of the divine realm! Almost no one did not know about the existence of Fangcun Mountain. After the battle between Daomen Aiyuexue and Sakyamuni, Fangcun Mountain was suddenly listed as a first-rate sect. No one dared to underestimate this sect again! What's even more terrifying is that the master of Fangcun Mountain, Bodhi Old Ancestor, had extremely high combat power, and with just one move, he repelled Daomen leader Li Er!

  Many people regret not being present to witness such a wonderful scene! And Bodhi's ancestor has also entered the top ten in the world at this moment! The emergence of Fangcun Mountain has also attracted attention from many people, and this sect has countless benefits, and more and more disciples are joining!

  The Fangcun Mountain is bustling with excitement today!

  At this moment, an old man in a green robe was standing outside the mountain gate of Fangcun Mountain. He said with a smile: "I am Zhao Wenshi, visiting Bodhi Laozu, and I hope to be announced."

  He also took out some spirit stones as a hard-earned transmission fee.

  Who knew that the two gatekeepers would immediately refuse, one of them laughing and saying: "Old sir, please wait here, I'll go in and announce your arrival. As for the spirit stone, it's not necessary - our ancestor said that we should always cultivate our virtues, I wouldn't dare break the rules!"

  The old man in blue clothes listened to this and his eyes suddenly lit up, he couldn't help but smile and nod his head, then he withdrew his own spirit stone.

  After a short while, the disciple returned and bowed his head saying: "Please come in, sir!"

  Following the gatekeeper's disciple, he arrived at the reception hall of Fangcun Mountain, where Jiang Xiaoyu was sitting with a smile on his face. The old man in green clothes returned a smile and waited until the disciple left before speaking: "I'm looking for Wen Shi, I asked about Brother Bodhi's name, today I see that it's indeed extraordinary!"

  "Brother Zhao is being polite, please sit down quickly." Jiang Xiaoyu smiled. As for this Zhao Wenshi, Jiang Xiaoyu swore that he had never seen him before, but how could a good bridge come to visit himself? Looking at the other person's appearance, it seemed like there was really something going on.

  After sitting down, Zhao Wenshi smiled and took out an invitation card, saying: "It's like this, the Tianhang Mountain grand gathering is about to begin, I'm just a humble runner, so I came here hoping that Brother Bodhi can make an appearance at that time!"

  The grand gathering at TianDang Mountain, why does it feel so familiar? Jiang XiaoYu narrowed her eyes, and memories came flooding back.
