"This also allows us to accumulate good deeds and virtues in our daily lives, which is of great benefit to our spiritual practice," the jade toad said earlier.

"Is accumulating good deeds and practicing virtue the same as following the will of Heaven?"

"Who said that? How could someone say something so ignorant?"

Li Changzhou remained silent.

For humans, and for monsters who have learned human thought, accumulating good deeds and virtues is naturally in accordance with the will of Heaven, and it is a matter of course.

But is humanity, and the morality that humanity has developed, truly the principle promoted by God?

The sun will "go out" in 5 billion years and become a white dwarf. During this time, will humanity's good and evil have any impact on this event?

Won't.

Some birds will eat their dead offspring or feed their dead offspring to the surviving offspring. The surviving offspring, once grown up, will even run back to the mother nest and hunt their younger siblings. What is this?

To say it's evil is an understatement; those birds that acted as parents, brothers, or sisters in these evil ways were able to survive and pass on their genes.

So-called good and evil are actually internal rules of humanity. If these rules are exaggerated or reduced, accumulating good deeds and virtues becomes meaningless.

“Bodhisattva,” Yang Qinglan suddenly spoke.

This startled Li Qianxia, ​​just like when she sneaked breakfast in her first class and the criminal law teacher asked her to explain her understanding of the 'stopping form of intentional crime'.

She seriously suspected that her teacher knew she was eating breakfast.

Guanyin Bodhisattva on her lotus throne looked over, and the Dragon Girl and Sudhana standing beside her also looked this way.

If Li Changzhou remembers correctly, this Sudhana should be Red Boy.

“Bodhisattva,” Yang Qinglan said without the slightest hint of stage fright, as if she had truly come to listen to the Dharma, “Promotion requires following the will of Heaven, but people are all fickle. How many wills does Heaven have? Which will should we follow? And which will will lead us to become an official the fastest, and the highest official?”

This statement is both worldly and profound.

Even the Bodhisattva glanced at her a few more times.

Guanyin answered in her gentle voice: "The Big Dipper changes every 100,000 years, and so does the will of Heaven. Those who can permanently grasp the will of Heaven are saints, and in a sense, saints are also officials."

"Under the guidance of sages, all people should simply strive to have a clear conscience; promotion should not be forced."

"Then may I ask the Bodhisattva, which of the six methods of attaining immortality you mentioned is the best?" Li Changzhou asked.

Regardless of whether a fight breaks out later, let's seize this opportunity while we can.

Whether it was because Li Changzhou was handsome, or something else, Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled—not a business smile.

“I’ve been asked this question every year since I started preaching.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Okay, it seems it's not because Li Changzhou is handsome.

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "The best way to become an immortal is to become a first-class immortal. For example, the breathing method, which involves inhaling and exhaling the essence of plants and trees, is second best, and the method involving the sun, moon and stars is the best. The visualization method, which involves visualizing the unchanging things of the past, is the best, and the divine artifacts of the human world, the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth are second best."

"There is no ultimate law, and there is law outside of law. In terms of form, one can go with the flow; as long as one obtains the law in seeking and practicing the law, acts in accordance with one's original intention, and has a will as firm as a rock, that is the superior law."

"How can one obtain the Dharma in seeking and practicing it?" Yaochi asked.

Guanyin smiled and said, "By jumping into the five gates of suffering in the cycle of reincarnation and then using the sword of wisdom to slay the divine power, one can gain wisdom from suffering, and that is to obtain the Dharma."

"What the Bodhisattva means is that suffering is for the sake of gaining something. If one cannot gain the Dharma through suffering, then is it unnecessary to suffer?" Li Qianxia asked.

“Suffering in vain is not what Buddha would like,” Guanyin Bodhisattva gave an affirmative answer. “You should also take refuge in the Three Jewels.”

"What are the Three Treasures?" Yang Qinglan asked.

“The Three Treasures are the Way, the Scriptures, and the Teacher,” the Bodhisattva said. “The Way is originally empty and formless, nameless and invisible. Without the Scriptures, one cannot understand the Way. The Way is in the Scriptures, profound and subtle. Without the Teacher, one cannot grasp its principles.”

By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is huanyuanapp. Install the latest version.

"What if they don't have a master?" Where would Li Changzhou and his group get a master? They're already at the forefront.

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Confucius once said, 'Be diligent in learning and not ashamed to ask those who are less knowledgeable than yourself.'"

She smiled and said to Li Changzhou and the other three, "You four have heard the true Dharma, and you will soon become earth immortals."

The other listeners were taken aback and all looked at Li Changzhou and his three companions.

They were still struggling to become immortals, but unexpectedly, these four people were chosen by the Bodhisattva and will soon become earth immortals?!

“Bodhisattva,” the green-clad fairy spoke up at this moment, “powerful enemies surround us. Taoist priests from various sects have colluded with Princess Iron Fan to attack Mount Putuo. What should we do?”

The crowd snapped out of their reverie and, remembering their current predicament, all showed expressions of worry.

They meant well to help Guanyin, but their magical powers were too weak. Princess Iron Fan could easily wipe them all out with a single flick of her banana leaf fan.

“Bodhisattva,” the Dragon Girl said, “I am willing to go out again to invite Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.”

“I can persuade my mother,” said Sudhana.

“I’m afraid neither of you will return.” Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head in denial. “You all need not worry. Just stay here and meditate to attain enlightenment. Three Arhats have already come to help me defeat the demon.”

"May I ask which three Arhats you are?" Peach Blossom Fairy asked hastily.

"Immovable Dharma Arhat, Demon-Subduing Arhat, Tiger-Taming Arhat".

"These are all Arhats with great magical powers! That's wonderful!" Everyone showed their joy.

In terms of immortals, these three Arhats are all first-class immortals, each a master who can easily capture the Willow Tree Immortal and the Peach Blossom Immortal.

Li Changzhou and the other three exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of joy and worry.
