Lu Zheng understood the meaning of ascetics, where the so-called people come from, not where someone comes from, but where everyone comes from. For example, if a baby is born to its parents, then who gave birth to the parents, and who gave birth to everyone's first parents? He put away the jade pendant, turned his mind back to the question just now, and replied: "Great monk, I understand, people and all things are born by God, and the monster is naturally born by God!"

The dervish nodded, "Exactly. In ancient times, when there were no people between heaven and earth, the first to be born were countless monsters of all kinds. These monsters were born with the birth of heaven and earth, and they are spiritual birds and beasts between heaven and earth. When the heavens and the earth first opened, when the Chaos Ancestral Qi was not dispersed, they were born with very powerful and special supernatural abilities, and they were some very strange creatures.

Some of these creatures have continued to die out over the years, while others have multiplied and survived in various ways, forming the oldest source of monsters in the world. In this way, three thousand years ago, these monsters with chaotic ancestral qi were left with only eight major races, namely the four holy clans of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, as well as the four fierce clans of Gluttony, Qiqi, Hanqi, and Chaos, known as the Eight Clans of Ancients. Of course, there may be some other races that survive, but these are all secrets of the demon race, and outsiders don't know. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zheng said: "The names of the Green Dragon and the White Tiger, I have heard and heard the story, it turns out that they really exist, but what are the Four Holy Clans and the Four Fierce Clans?"

The ascetic said: "The green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, and the Xuanwu have a lot of righteousness in heaven and earth, and they are peaceful in nature, and they never kill living beings indiscriminately, so they are called the four saints, and gluttony, poor and strange, Hanqi, and chaotic have many evil spirits in heaven and earth, and they are cruel by nature, and often kill innocents indiscriminately, so they are called the four murderers." These names are very old and have been circulated among the population long before the fence demarcation. Later, the fence was planted, and the demons were divided, and the descendants of the world had never seen these monsters, but they were also passed down from their ancestors as stories. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zheng suddenly realized: "I understand, monsters are born from monsters, and people are born, because monsters want to eat people, so they have to use a fence to separate monsters from people." This side of the fence is inhabited by people, and the other side of the fence is inhabited by youkai, and this is the boundary between shemales, right?"

The dervish nodded and said, "Well, but there is nothing wrong with people being born, but monsters are not entirely born of monsters." The monsters between heaven and earth, in addition to the spirit birds and beasts that were born from heaven and earth and their descendants just mentioned, there is another source!

Ordinary birds and beasts between heaven and earth. If you get the opportunity, you can comprehend the way of heaven, open your spiritual wisdom, enter the cultivation, transcend the original things, and obtain all kinds of supernatural powers, you will become a demon. The origin of these monsters is very complicated, almost all birds and beasts have it, such as the snake demon you see. In addition, there are such as wolf demons, tiger demons, and so on. In short, any flesh and blood spirit can become a demon!"

The dervish told Lu Zheng about the sources of the two monsters, but when the six senses talked to Tang Xiaojiu, they only mentioned the latter one, which was not that the six senses deliberately concealed it, but that the six senses themselves were a divine thought, and the insights contained in them were incomplete.

Lu Zheng was shocked when he heard this: "You can all become demons, fortunately there is that fence to block them, otherwise everyone will be eaten by monsters!" Speaking of this, he remembered another important thing and asked: "By the way, the great monk, according to what you say, there are also many birds and beasts in the world on this side of the fence, will they also become demons?"

The ascetic said: "Naturally, there is, but the aura of heaven and earth in the world is not as good as that of the cultivation world, and ordinary birds and beasts get the opportunity to practice and become demons, which is too difficult and rare to see." Moreover, those monsters practice in the world, and they are often infected by the people of the world, and they are no different from ordinary people, and they will not necessarily do evil and harm people. What's more, there are often cultivators walking in the world, and if they do, they will often be edified, persuaded, or brought back to the cultivation world. Even so, aren't there still many rumors of youkai in the world?"

Lu Zheng was worried again: "I understand, then there are a lot of monsters in this cultivation world, and you live in the cultivation world, isn't that dangerous?"

The ascetic saw that Lu Zheng's face was full of nervousness, and said with a smile: "This cultivation world is not a cage for monsters, the reason why the cultivation world is called the cultivation world is because all the creatures in it are cultivating!"

Lu Zheng asked, "Cultivation, is it the supernatural ability to fight monsters like a great monk?"

The ascetic shook his head and said, "The path of cultivation can obtain all kinds of supernatural powers, and the people, demons, elves, etc. in the cultivation world do have supernatural powers, but this is not the purpose of cultivation. The purpose of practice is to practice the path of detachment. The Buddha said that all living beings in the world are wandering in the midst of being lost, and all living beings need to practice in order to achieve liberation! In addition to all kinds of monsters, there are also cultivators, grass and tree spirits, and so on, and some are between life and non-life. ”

It turned out that there were not only monsters in the cultivation world, but also so many living beings, and they were all seeking to verify the way of detachment, Lu Zheng naturally couldn't understand this, so he asked again: "Great monk, the grass and tree spirits you are talking about should be those flowers and plants that become essences, I have also heard this in the story." But what is there between life and non-life? Live or not, die or not, is there such a thing in the world?"

The ascetic smiled and said: "Naturally, there is, as soon as the poor monk says that you must know, such as what the world often says, ghosts!"

Lu Zheng was startled when he heard this, and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva and said: "There are monsters and ghosts, what kind of ghost place is the cultivation world, how can you specialize in these things that are scared to death?"

The dervish explained, "It is the place where all sentient beings hear the Dharma, the place where all sentient beings know what they aspire to, and the place where all sentient beings attain their attainment in this life." It's for the cultivation world! What kind of place is the cultivation world, what is cultivation, these things will be known slowly when you get there. In fact, in the eyes of the poor monks, there is no difference between it and the world, and there are bad people in the world?

When Lu Zheng heard this, his heart was shocked, and he thought about this sentence seriously for a while, and asked: "Great monk, aren't all monsters eating people?

The dervish did not answer this question, but said, "This question, the poor monk said that it doesn't count." If you have the chance to embark on the path of spiritual practice, think about it slowly. As the poor monk said just now, there are some problems that others can't tell you, and you can only rely on your own experience and judgment. ”

Lu Zheng nodded, let out a soft 'oh', and said in his heart: "I want to embark on the path of cultivation, as long as you nod your head!" Thinking like this, he suddenly remembered a question, and called out with an oops.

The dervish was taken aback and asked, "Little benefactor, what's wrong?"

Lu Zhengdao: "Great monk, I remember that you told me that the snake demon came from the other side of the fence, since there is a fence, how did he come to the world? Is the fence useless?"

The ascetic thought that something had happened to him, but he didn't expect it to be this problem, and said with a smile: "Of course the fence is useful, but although this fence separates the cultivation world from the human world, its intention is not to isolate the human world from the cultivation world, otherwise a poor monk will not be able to enter the human world." In fact, as long as the monster can transform into a human form, it can cross the fence without being hindered. ”

"Ah, if that's the case, aren't there a lot of monsters in the world?" Lu Zheng didn't expect it to be like this, and couldn't figure it out for a while, since this fence is to stop monsters from eating people, how can it be said that monsters can cross over as long as they turn into human shapes?

The ascetic said, "You guessed right, not only monsters, but also many cultivators will cross the fence and come to the world!"

Lu Zhengqi said: "Is this weishenme? Those cultivators came to the world to catch those monsters who crossed the fence?......

Every time the ascetic said a few words, he was interrupted by Lu Zheng asking a question, and finally he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to interrupt him, and said: "Little donor, don't be impatient, in fact, the questions you asked are all related to the origin of this fence." ”

Lu Zheng asked again: "Where did the fence come from?" Yes, the great monk, you said that this fence is used to separate people and monsters and protect the world, so how did this fence come about?"

The ascetic had a look of admiration on his face, and his voice was yearning, "This fence was planted by a great man three thousand years ago. ”

Lu Zheng was taken aback when he heard it, in his imagination, two shijie were divided together, which could separate the fence between people and demons, it should be made by some god or bodhisattva, but he didn't expect it to be a person. That is to say, three thousand years ago, there was a person who planted a fence and since then separated two shijies, one called the cultivation world and the other called the human world, to protect human beings from being eaten by monsters. No wonder the dervishes said he was an amazing man, which is really amazing.

So Lu Zheng hurriedly asked, "Then who is this person who planted the fence?"

The dervish looked at Lu Zheng and said with a smile: "Hehe, the poor monk originally wanted to tell the story of this person directly, who knows if you asked where the monster came from for a while, and asked where the cultivation world was for a while, and was interrupted by you so many times, the poor monk didn't know where to start." You should honestly listen to the poor monk from the beginning, and you will naturally know who this person who planted the fence is!"

When Lu Zheng heard this, his face turned red, and he said: "I'm sorry monk, I can't help but want to ask questions every time I listen to a story, and I have been kicked out of the book by the storyteller many times, saying that I am too noisy." Brother Jiu has also said that I have been many times, okay, I won't interject, you start telling stories!"

Unexpectedly, this usually silent teenager was so active when it came time to listen to the story, the ascetic couldn't help but smile, and when he saw that Lu Zheng was no longer talking, he said: "What I want to tell you is a story, which happened three thousand years ago......"

Under the light of this bonfire, Lu Zheng listened to the dervishes tell a story he had never heard before.

The dervish said, "Three thousand years ago, there were no fences in the world at that time, and people and demons lived under the sun together, so there was no distinction between the cultivation world and the human world. But I don't know what day it started, and I don't know why, but there was a war. This war is not a struggle for hegemony among the kingdoms of the world, nor is it a change of dynasty from the bottom up, but a great war between humans and demons!"
