Guiding Duobao

When Tongtian heard this, his face showed joy. "So, thank you Dao Venerable!"

He knew that it was a rare opportunity for Duobao to get Dao Venerable Lin Tian's personal promise to leave instructions.

Duobao, who was standing behind Tongtian, also had an excited look on his face. He took a deep breath and solemnly saluted again. "Disciple Duobao, thank you Dao Venerable for your love!"

Bixiao on the side saw this, rolled his eyes, suddenly tugged on Tongtian's sleeves, and said softly, "Master, master! Look, senior brother Duobao can stay, then... can the disciple also stay? I also want to be by Master Dao Venerable's side, maybe I can improve my cultivation greatly!"

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Lin Tian, her eyes full of longing.

Yunxiao's face changed slightly, and he quickly stretched out his hand to pull his sister back, scolding in a low voice. "Bixiao! Don't be rude! Dao Venerable has a lot to do, how can you allow you to mess around!"

She knew very well that this younger sister had a wild temper and was very curious. If she got naughty and got into trouble and bumped into Dao Venerable, it would be no small matter.

Qiongxiao was also gently tugging at the corner of Bixiao's clothes, signaling her to restrain herself.

"Bixiao, stop messing around."

Lin Tian instead smiled slightly and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, Three Immortal Islands is empty. There is no difference between one more person and one less person. If you want to stay, you can stay."

Zhao Gongming immediately clasped his fists and said loudly, "Thank you Dao Venerable! This little girl is naughty, if she can get some advice from Dao Venerable, she will really be great Creation!"

He was really happy for his sister.

Being able to practice beside Dao Venerable Lin Tian, even if you are just a spectator, is a blessing that countless Primordial Wilderness masters can only dream of.

However, he himself did not force it.

Yunxiao bowed to Lin Tian: "Yunxiao, on behalf of my little sister, thank you Dao Venerable for your tolerance. If Bixiao has anything inappropriate, I hope Dao Venerable will discipline her strictly."

When Tongtian saw Lin Tian's answer, he also smiled and told Bixiao: "Since Dao Venerable allows you to stay, you need to be careful in your words and deeds, ask for advice humbly, and not be as naughty and willful as in the past, disturbing Dao Venerable's peace."

"Duobao, as a senior brother, you also need to take care of me."

Duobao bowed quickly. "Disciple, please remember this."

Immediately, Tongtian saluted Lin Tian and left with the other disciples.

When Bixiao saw his sisters leaving, he immediately cheered. "Yeah! Great! I'm finally free... ah no, I can finally practice well by Dao Venerable's side!"

She was so proud that she almost spilled the beans. She quickly covered her mouth and blinked her big eyes.

Lin Tian looked at her appearance and couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, asking, "Oh? Freedom? It seems that your sisters are very strict with you on weekdays?"

Bixiao stuck out his tongue, rolled his eyes again, and began to complain, "Master Dao Venerable, you don't know, the eldest sister and the second sister are very strict! All day long, they are either urging me to practice, or asking me to meditate on enlightenment. They don't even let me tease the turtle, saying that they are afraid that I will be distracted and delay my practice."

"I... I'm just a little curious. I want to see more and play more..."

She spoke pitifully, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"Bi! Xiao!"

Bixiao stiffened all over and slowly turned his neck.

Yunxiao, who had left and returned, was standing not far behind her with a pretty face and a frosty look on her face. He had obviously heard all about her complaints just now.

Qiongxiao also stood beside Yunxiao, looking helplessly at this unabashed sister.

"Sister... sister? You... why are you back?"

Bixiao was so frightened that his tongue was a little tangled, and the pride he felt just now disappeared in an instant.

Yunxiao first bowed apologetically to Lin Tian, then glared at Bixiao and snorted coldly, "I begged Master to let me stay with you. I knew you were a dead girl. You did one thing in front of Master and Dao Venerable, and then did the other behind their backs! It seems that you are too tolerant to you!"

With that said, he took a step forward and took Bixiao's arm without any explanation, "Come on, follow me over there and talk about how we strictly controlled you!"

"Ouch! Sister, please be gentle! I was wrong, I was wrong! Master Dao Venerable, help me!"

Bixiao screamed and was dragged away by Yunxiao. He struggled and looked at Lin Tian for help, but unfortunately Lin Tian had no intention of intervening.

Qiongxiao told Lin Tian that they were worried about Bixiao and wanted to stay, and Lin Tian agreed.

Soon, everyone left, only Lin Tian and Duobao were left.

"Duobao, if you have any questions, just ask."

"Sir Dao Venerable," Duobao was very confused, "I have been in seclusion for a long time, thinking about what Dao Venerable said in the past day and night, but it is always like looking at smoke and mirrors, and I can't make sense of it."

"Where is my way? My disciple is dull and has limited understanding. I hope Dao Venerable... can give me guidance and clear away the clouds."

His posture was very low and his tone was sincere.

Lin Tian did not answer immediately.

After a long time, Lin Tian suddenly spoke and asked a question:

"Duobao."

"The disciple is here."

"What do you think...Western Teachings?"

"Western Teachings?" Duobao was startled, not expecting Dao Venerable to ask this.

He thought for a moment and then answered cautiously, "Western Teachings... According to the humble opinion of his disciples, his teachings claim that all living beings are equal, saying that all living beings are suffering, but only the Buddha can overcome it, and he has made a great wish to save all living beings from the sea of suffering and be reborn in bliss. The two saints Jieyin and Zhunti often use this to teach their disciples and walk Primordial Wilderness."

His answer was very objective and basically reiterated the concept of Western Teachings's external publicity.

Lin Tian nodded, his expression unchanged, and continued to ask, "Their teachings sound pretty good, so do you think what Two Sages of the West does is consistent with the teachings they preach?"

Duobao heard this and frowned slightly.

The situation of Western Teachings that he knew was another picture.

Lin Tian smiled softly, "They claim that all living beings are equal, but they forcefully convert thousands of living beings into the West. Those who don't follow directly use the technique of salvation. What does this kind of behavior have to do with equality? It is just another form of slavery."

"They say that all living beings are suffering, and I am the only one who can solve their problems. They claim to build the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and liberate all living beings. But look at the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, the treasure halls, the golden Buddha statues up and down the Lingshan Mountain... where are they not resplendent with gold and jade, with precious light reaching the sky?"

"The bliss they built is more like a gorgeous cage piled with endless wealth than true transcendence."

Lin Tian's tone was calm, but Duobao was shocked.

"Primordial Wilderness is vast, with thousands of races, and more than trillions of living beings. The weak struggle to survive, the strong bully the weak, the world is unkind, and there are many disasters. This is the real suffering."

"Two Sages of the West Have you ever sincerely saved a small tribe on the verge of extinction? Have you ever spent your mana to quell a raging natural disaster? Have you ever upheld justice for those innocent creatures who died tragically?"

"They always have a superior attitude, but they don't take living beings at heart."

Lin Tian paused and continued, "They talk about compassion and their hearts are full of utilitarianism. Duobao, do you think this is the equality of all living beings?"

This series of questions struck Duobao in his heart.

At this moment, it was broken by Lin Tian, and many previous perceptions became clear instantly.

Western Teachings Behind the seemingly grand and compassionate teachings, there is indeed hidden utilitarianism and hypocrisy that is difficult to conceal.

Is forced differentiation equal to equality?

Is splendor a liberation?

Is it mercy to plot and plunder?

Daoist Duobao stood stunned on the spot.

"Is this also the Tao?"

If it is fundamentally wrong and the direction is wrong, no matter how big the Supernatural Power is or how high the realm is, it will be nothing more than a castle in the air.

Looking at Duobao who was deep in thought, Lin Tian didn't bother him.

To break it down, you still need to realize it yourself.

You have to walk your own road after all.

Whether Duobao can take that step and find his own path depends on his Creation.
