are determined by fate, wealth and poverty are bestowed by heaven. No one would shed tears for life or death.Before we could wallow in our disappointment, a flurry of footsteps suddenly echoed down...The path to worldly cultivation that I have come across is to diligently practice esoteric exercises, accumulate virtue by doing good deeds, be mindful of one's speech, and strengthen one's body and mind. 。This may seem ordinary, but it is not simple for those who practice Xuanmen and need to walk the world. 。Once you enter the world, you will always be troubled by the seven emotions and six desires, and you will always be forced to make some choices. 。For example, whether or not to save Shen Qingrui, I didn't even consider "not saving" her. No matter how bad her attitude towards me was, she had always been loyal to the Shen family. Even if she had a bad temper, we couldn't deny her contributions. 。Lin Yanhuan once talked to me about my role as a special advisor and head of the Shen family. He wasn't worried about my professional capabilities, but rather some aspects of my management abilities. 。After all, being young and inexperienced in managing a family and participating in an industry, one might encounter quite a few difficulties. 。But in all these difficulties, there was no sign of Shen Qingrui. 。She didn't oppose me, nor did she act against me in secret. Perhaps after being confined by Jiang Qiyun, she had come to understand some things. 。To this day, when she sees dangerous malevolent spirits and demons appearing near the Shen family, her first reaction is to fight to the death. This fills me with a certain degree of relief and moving emotion. 。I told Jiang Qiyun all about these things. He smiled ambiguously, wondering what he was thinking. 。"What are you laughing at" I couldn't help but ask. 。"Why are you laughing... The world is indeed a place of cultivation. To see through the seven emotions and six desires, and to comprehend the supreme mysteries, is truly an interesting form of training." 。He stood beside me at the side door, looking out at the chaotic and dilapidated mountain road and airstrip. 。Look, the splendor and grandeur of a moment can collapse instantly. What is called a century-old family could very well vanish in an instant... Material possessions should not be clung to too much. Those who practice Taoism should pay attention to the cultivation of their 'heart'. 。Jiang Qiyun seems to be trying to reason with me. 。

As I was listening attentively, he changed the subject abruptly and said plainly: "Back then, I told you that Shen Qingrui had become corrupted by my selfish desires and that I carried karmic burdens. I revealed the truth to you, but I didn't go into detail because back then, you weren't truly able to remain indifferent to this matter.

He frowned slightly and said, "Back then, when I was free and my mind was wandering, I traveled alone through the upper realms and happened to meet two Jinxian discussing Dao. One of them was a Daluo Jinxian known by later cultivators as the ancestor of the Danjing scriptures. He looked down on other 'peripheral and crooked paths,' while the other Jinxian believed in both internal and external cultivation, achieving perfection in both practices, participating in the mortal world, and accumulating merit...""They argued for a long time about the 'Yin Dao.' One said that this path was useless, while the other said that it was where Yin and Yang intersected, water and fire complementing each other…" 。"I remain silent—the level of the quarrel between immortals is too high. Without a bit of cultural sophistication, you can't even understand the excitement." 。Jiang Qiyun seemed to find this amusing as well. He shook his head and said, "Since the day I transformed into my current form, I had never heard these arguments. I remained there for an unknown amount of time, lost in contemplation, until the Taiyin Star Monarch passed by and laughed at me for being bewildered and clueless... That's when I began to realize that besides the Nine Heavens and the Underworld, I knew nothing about anything else." 。"After returning to the underworld, one day he saw that the paper girl attendant had become stiff in form. He wanted to learn the magical method of transforming into a lotus flower like the Great One God, so he went to Qinghua Changle Realm to ask and consult." 。“However, at the time I only thought this method could create ‘humans’. But when a humanoid appeared, I realized it would cause a great burden.” 。"Burden" I don't quite understand. 。Jiang Qiyun looked at me, shaking his head gently: "For example, you, after giving birth to a child, will your mindset still be the same as before" "Of course it will be different... After having a child, I feel that the child is very important, more important than my own life..." 。I'll answer honestly. 。"Yes, this is different from conjuring a house or tower. When I realized that this method could give birth to a 'living' human form, I... hesitated." 。"Jiang Qiyun let out a soft sigh: “The reason deities are deities is because they respect the ways of heaven and earth, and all living things. To arbitrarily carry out such acts goes against the very essence of cultivation.” 。"For example, take the case of Taiyi, the God. He is notorious for being overprotective and biased, you know why" Jiang Qiyun chuckled wryly. 。"It's known, there are legends in the world about a powerful deity protecting his disciples." 。I nodded. That story about Nezha's third son, it's something all children know. I don't know if it's true or not, but the tale of him transforming into a lotus flower is certainly well-known. 。> Jiang Qiyun lowered his eyes: "At that time, I hesitated. I didn't understand where this emotion came from at all. It was probably because I felt that I had created a 'living' thing that I didn't know how to place. So I didn't put away Lianxin. That is, the Shen Qingrui I brought back to Yinjingtian Palace didn't have a 'heart,' meaning she didn't have her own thoughts. And I didn't have those thoughts towards her either." 。"So, it seems Shen Qingrui is actually..." This was the crux of Jiang Qiyun's hesitation, wasn't it "What would you do to someone who is indifferent and cold as a paper doll Would you even regret giving them life" 。"Jiang Qiyun sighed, "No wonder the Taichi Divine Being looked at me with such deep meaning. He already knew this feeling." 。"

I began to reflect on the actions I had taken in a moment of impulse. After a short period of self-reflection, as I emerged, I happened to encounter a wisp of soul passing through the underworld. I seemed to have some enlightenment. Since I created her, she should have a spirit, her own thoughts >>> 。Jiang Qiyun glanced at me and skipped over the matter of the incense soul with a single sentence. 。He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask. Anyway, he naturally has his own arrangements for things, maybe he'll tell me later. 。“Due to some matters in the mortal realm, the underworld is currently unable to handle them. I have taken this opportunity to entrust Shen Qingrui to the Shen family, so that she can carry out some tasks for me.” 。She had the memories of Yin Jing Tian Gong, and she also gained a heart, understanding the seven emotions and six desires. It was then that she began to 'admire' me. 。But how much of this infatuation is real, perhaps she herself is questioning it. 。“Jiang Qiyun said seriously,” 。Indeed, relying on her previous life's identity, Shen Qingrui enjoyed a very high status in the Shen family from a young age. 。Her mind was also changing, perhaps because she felt that the Emperor's orders were everything in her life. 。Later, I appeared, but her treatment in the Shen family did not deteriorate because of it. Instead, everything remained as usual, and even Mrs. Shen and the head steward still cared for and valued her. 。Such a person, after long-term companionship with others, also inadvertently caused changes in her emotions. Therefore, she placed great importance on the Shen family in her subconscious. 。"No wonder you didn't punish her besides solitary confinement before..." I nodded. 。If it were me, I would definitely defend him/her too. 。But when she pushed you down then, I was truly filled with rage. I held back, over and over again, barely managing to stop myself from pulverizing her to dust…""What would happen if you did that" I asked worriedly. 。"It's hard to say...Perhaps I'll be punished by the old master...After all, creating life and then taking it away, especially because of personal feelings, is a very serious karmic debt..." 。Jiang Qiyun let out a long sigh. 。"So today if you don't save Shen Qingrui, I will save her too." 。Jiang Qiyun looked at me, seeming to observe my emotions. 。Actually, these things don't matter to me anymore. Perhaps during her confinement, Shen Qingrui has already found out what she lives for. 。For the unseen and intangible Jiang Qiyun, or for this tangible Shen familyThe head steward rushed over, anxiously saying, "Master Head, Shen Yan seems to be acting strangely..."Shen Yan, right, there's also her matter... 。 Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!gh to see the contents of the mural.The figures drawn are bent over, hunched shoulders, tiptoeing, and a woman raising her hand to cover her mouth.It seems like we are, just like us now, quietly walki...
