The Nine Provinces of the Central Plains, Mount Buzhou, and the Buzhou Mountain Taoist Temple.

The peaks are majestic, the mountains are lush, the air is ethereal, and the spiritual energy turns into waterfalls.

The Taoist temple's head priest, Master Yangming, looked at Fang Jian outside the mountain gate and immediately came out to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Master Hongqing, what a rare guest!" Master Yangming came before Fang Jian and bowed. Then he said to Fang Jian, "How come you have time to come to the Taoist temple on Mount Buzhou?"

Fang Jian smiled and said, "Aren't you short of people here? I'll send you two little helpers."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Yangming Zhenren immediately looked at Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying behind Fang Jian.

"Is True Lord Hongqing going to send them to the Taoist temple to practice?" asked True Lord Yangming.

Fang Jian shook his head and said, "They no longer meet the required age to enter the Taoist temple for training. I asked them to come to the Taoist temple to see if there is anything they can do."

"There are many things to do." Yang Ming Zhenren said, "But if you want them to enter the Taoist temple to practice, I, as the head monk, can recruit them."

"No." Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "Rules are rules, and orders are orders. How can they be changed at will?"

Fang Jian pulled Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying to his side and said, "This one is my apprentice, and this one is my junior. When I went to Confucian Universe, I let them travel and practice in the Great World of Yanfu on their own. Now I want to find something for them to do. If it's convenient for Master Yangming, please help me arrange some things for them to do."

Yang Ming Zhenren quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, there are a lot of things to do. It just so happens that my Buzhou Mountain Taoist Temple is short of a few clerks. If Hong Qing Zhenjun doesn't mind..."

"Handyman? Sure, sure, no problem for me." Fang Jian said quickly, then turned to Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying and asked, "Where are you two?"

Mei Xianzhang asked, "What does a clerk do?"

Yang Ming Zhenren smiled and said, "It's just to do odd jobs. Besides teaching, you will do whatever Buzhou Mountain Taoist Temple assigns you to do, including delivering letters, welcoming students, cleaning the mountain gate, looking after the residence, and other miscellaneous tasks."

"Okay." Xuanying said immediately, "I do." She used to sell tea in Penglai Tianjie and had done all kinds of odd jobs, so naturally she wouldn't mind.

Seeing that Xuanying agreed, Mei Xianzhang didn't say anything else. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow Master's arrangements."

Yang Ming Zhenren said with a smile, "Well, you two are now the clerks of the Wuzhou Mountain Taoist Temple." Having said this, Yang Ming Zhenren said to Fang Jian, "Hong Qing Zhenjun, please come into the Taoist temple for a rest, so that I can fulfill my hospitality."

"Okay." Fang Jian nodded, and then everyone walked into the Taoist temple's gate. At this time, the Taoist temple had just been completed, everything looked very new, and there were relatively few people.

However, Fang Jian still sensed the auras of several Taiyi Xuanxian and Jinxian within the Buzhou Mountain Taoist Temple. Yangming Zhenren then explained, "Besides me, the head priest, this Buzhou Mountain Taoist Temple also has an abbot and a dean. The so-called abbot is the head of a certain sect. Currently, there are only three abbots: Bixia Yuanjun, the head of the Taoist Temple; Manjusri Bodhisattva, the head of the Buddhist Temple; and a head of the Demon Temple. However, the tenure of the Demon Temple will be rotated among the twelve demon gods."

The original twelve demon gods of the demon clan were all golden immortals, but after the demon clan surrendered to the heaven, with the help of the heaven, the twelve demon gods had already obtained the Taiyi golden immortal fruit, otherwise the power gap of the demon clan would have been too serious.

"I see." Fang Jian asked again, "What about Siye?"

"The Si Ye also comes from Taoism, Buddhism and the demon clan." said Yangming Zhenren.

Fang Jian nodded, then smiled and said, "With the support of Bixia Yuanjun of the Taoist sect and Manjusri Bodhisattva of the Buddhist sect, plus the fame of the Twelve Demon Gods, it will be difficult for you to fail to run the Buzhou Mountain Taoist Temple."

"Yes." Yang Ming Zhenren also looked happy and said, "I have always loved preaching and running schools in the human world. I never thought that now that I am in heaven, I can return to my original duties."

Fang Jian walked along, chuckling, "There is no good or evil in the body, but there are good and evil intentions in the actions. Knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good and avoiding evil is the study of things."

"I think these four sentences are in line with the spirit of the Heavenly Law and should be used as the instructions of the Buzhou Mountain Taoist Temple." Fang Jian said to Yangming Zhenren.

Yangming Zhenren waved his hand and said modestly, "Compared with the Taoist and Buddhist mantras for saving the world, my four sentences still have many shortcomings."

"There is no good or evil, there is good and evil, knowing good and evil, and doing good and eliminating evil. These are the four realms of cultivation. There is good and evil is the first realm, knowing good and evil is the second realm, and doing good and eliminating evil is the third realm. Now, we can only stay at the realm of 'doing good and eliminating evil', and 'no good or evil' is the most original realm, and it is also the realm of returning to nature. For example, those Daluo Jinxians can achieve 'no good or evil' because most of their actions are not affected by cause and effect, so naturally there is no question of good or evil." Fang Jian said slowly.

Yang Ming Zhenren nodded slightly and said, "I never thought that Zhenjun Hongqing could comprehend these four sentences to such a level. It is truly an honor for this humble official."

"I'm afraid this is not what you really want, sir?" Fang Jian asked with a smile.

Yangming Zhenren laughed heartily, then said to Fang Jian, "The moment these four sentences left my mouth, they no longer belonged to me. Everyone will gain their own understanding from them. As long as all beings can understand their own righteous path of 'doing good and avoiding evil' from my words, what does it matter how others interpret my words?"

Fang Jian was immediately filled with awe when he heard this. A god like Wang Yangming, who was born into a philosophy and learning background in the human world, was much higher in realm than those great Taoist and Buddhist masters. No wonder the Heavenly Court wanted him to be the head monk of the Buzhou Mountain Taoist Temple.
