Under One Person: I'm just a pawnshop owner

Qiu Zudian.

This is one of the most important halls of Baiyun Temple, because directly under the Qiu Zu Hall, the remains of Qiu Zu are buried.

At this time, Taoist Qingxuan and Zhang Fang were in this hall.

Taoist Qingxuan stood in front. He looked at Zhang Fang and asked:

"Junshi, what do you think of Princess Fan Min?"

"disciple···"

"Don't lie."

Just when Zhang Fang was about to speak, Taoist Qingxuan interrupted him.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fang's eyes changed a bit, and finally he raised his hands and said:

"Disciple doesn’t know, this is the disciple’s true words."

Taoist Qingxuan touched his beard and said softly:

"Jun Shi, if you were asked to choose between Xiuxian and Princess Fan Min, which one would you choose?"

"Disciple... choose to practice!

Taoist Qingxuan closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said :

"The precepts of my Quanzhen lineage are considered harsh in the eyes of the world, even compared with Zen Buddhism, but it is precisely because of this that the founder of our lineage became an immortal."

"Not to mention Patriarchs Zhong and Lu, Patriarch Wang Chongyang once said that ordinary people must first follow these twelve words to practice Taoism: stop drinking, sex and wealth, cling to love and thoughts, and worry and think."

"Why do you think Patriarch Chongyang said this? Zhang

Fangfang said:

"Because the seven emotions and five desires are obstacles to the path of cultivation, we, as cultivators, should abide by the precepts. Only in this way can we abide by our original intention and achieve enlightenment in time. Qingxuan nodded slightly and then said:

"We are both cultivating the same lineage. We only need to keep our true intentions, and the precepts are far less stringent than ours. Do you know why this is?"

"Disciples don’t know"

"Because the Second Patriarch Zhonglu once said, we are all mortals practicing cultivation. Since we are mortals, our hearts are also ordinary hearts. The ordinary hearts will not be tempted by many external things in the world, so they will be moved by the spirit. The three treasures of human beings, the spirit and spirit, are ordinary. If one person is not firm, then this path of spiritual practice will not reach the end."

"Zhengyi's approach is okay if it's for those with talent. Those with talent will stick to their true intentions, but what about ordinary people? How can ordinary people keep their true intentions without strict discipline?"

"Among practitioners in the world, how many talented people are there who can always maintain their original intention? And how many practitioners are there who are restless and restless?"

"In Zen Buddhism, there is a distinction between sudden enlightenment and gradual enlightenment. Those who have sudden enlightenment pursue perfection in a sentence or a half. They believe that their mind is as powerful as heaven and earth. They can do whatever they want in daily life. As long as the lock of the mind is opened, they can become a Buddha and an ancestor. However, this is not something that practitioners indulge in. Where's the excuse?"

"Those who gradually become enlightened pay attention to the clear mind and nature, and are cautious in everything, so as to achieve the gradual improvement of practice and self. Although this path is painful, it is more appropriate than the path of sudden enlightenment, because at least it will not give rise to too many Demonic and evil species"

"This is why our Quanzhen lineage's precepts are so strict."

Taoist Qingxuan said this, paused and then said:

"Junshi, you are talented, so I can give you a choice. If you are willing, you can return to the secular world and be with Princess Fan Min from now on. If you are not willing, then go out and travel as a Quanzhen disciple, Baiyun Temple It's no longer suitable for you to stay."

He looked at Zhang Fang calmly, waiting for Zhang Fang's response.

Zhang Fang stood there for a long time.

He was always silent.···

···

The next day.

Taoist Qingxuan sent someone to send Fan Min back home.

The girl wanted to see Zhang Fang before leaving, but she learned that Zhang Fang had something important to do and could not come out to say goodbye. After hearing this, the girl had no choice but to leave temporarily.

In the next few days, Fan Min will still come to Baiyun Temple.

But she never met Zhang Fang. After asking again, the disciple of Baiyunguan told her that Zhang Fang was in retreat.

Fan Min felt a little helpless, but had no choice but to give up on Zhang Fang.

Before she left, she warned the disciples of Baiyun Temple:

"If Zhang Fang is released from confinement, just tell the strong man at the door and he will notify me."

"Okay, please don’t worry, Princess."

Fan Min left.

A few days later, Zhang Quanyi came back.

As soon as he came, he was called into the quiet room by Taoist Qingxuan.

The two talked for a long time.

When Zhang Quanyi came out again, His face was complicated.

In the early morning of the next day,

Zhang Quanyi and Zhang Fang quietly left Baiyun Temple.

The two walked side by side and never looked back.

···

Half a month later.

Fan Min, who couldn't hold himself back, once again approached Baiyunguan.

She is bound to see Zhang Fang today!

But when he asked Zhang Fang, the disciple of Baiyun Temple said:

"Senior Brother Zhang Fang has left."

Fan Min was stunned.

"left? Where did he go? When does he come back?"

"Fu Sheng Boundless Heavenly Lord, we don’t know where Senior Brother Zhang Fang has gone, let alone when Senior Brother Zhang Fang will come back. Please ask Princess Fan Min to go back."

Fan Min was angry.

She walked straight towards the residence of Taoist Qingxuan in the temple.

The disciples along the way did not dare to stop her too much due to her identity.

Finally, she saw Taoist Qingxuan.

Fan Min was like an angry little lion, she asked:

"Real person, what happened to Zhang Fang?!"

"Princess Fan Min, if you have the right, you can't force fate. If you have no way, I hope the princess can understand."

When Fan Min heard this, her body felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She took a few steps back tremblingly. Tears appeared in her snowy eyes. She said to herself in disbelief:

"Will not···Will not···How could he just walk away like that?···Zhang Fang··Zhang Fang···You bastard!!!"

Fan Min cursed and then turned around and left quickly.

Taoist Qingxuan looked at the girl's back and couldn't help but sigh.

That's what it means to practice.

Even if you are a righteous person, you will experience it when you refine your heart in the world of mortals. Like this.

This is just a microcosm of thousands of cultivation stories............

Fifth update!

Please give me flowers, please give me tickets, and please give me rewards!

Regarding observing the precepts in spiritual practice, to be honest, I personally agree with the school of gradual enlightenment. I have also tried to experience it myself. It is true that when observing the precepts, it is easier to enter a meditative state, and then the tongue and teeth are full of fluids, and the feeling is wonderful.
