Villain: I am not good at fighting.

Chapter 516: The Righteous Spirit Ties the Intentions 6 Desires to Lock the Heart

Six Desires and Evil Fires

These four words always lingered in Liu Zhi's mind along the way. The six desires are innate needs of human beings, and excessive pursuit may lead to loss of self.

Therefore, Emperor Zhao advocated Confucianism and filial piety in governing the country, and emphasized balancing these desires through moderation and self-cultivation, so as to achieve inner peace and liberation.

This is a compulsory course for every beginner scholar. Liu Zhi has been very good at controlling his eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, as well as his appearance, shape, power, posture, and language since he was a child.

"Saint Liu, Luoxia Mountain is just ahead. We, ordinary mortals and crude warriors, dare not desecrate the holy land. We can only send you here."

Liu Zhi turned around and saluted to express his gratitude to several officers and soldiers.

"Thank you all for seeing me off all the way. Liu Zhi would like to express his gratitude here."

After returning the flag officer's horse to the soldiers, Liu Zhi said goodbye and turned around to start climbing the mountain along the path at the foot of the mountain. The road ahead was not suitable for riding.

When Liu Zhi entered the formation, his figure disappeared. The officers and soldiers who were standing still suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and colorful little paper figures emerged from the flesh behind their necks.

They flew to the top of the mountain laughing, leaving behind stiff corpses. The breeze blew over the corpses and turned them into ashes, leaving no trace.

There was a pavilion on the mountainside, just enough for Liu Zhi, who was exhausted, to rest. On both sides of the pavilion were written:

"Be anxious when the world is worried first, then be happy when the world is happy."

"Fairy Luoxia is also a time traveler?"

Liu Zhi felt the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and the pavilion seemed to be some kind of hint, guiding him to move forward.

"Turn the tide when it is about to fall, and support the building that is about to collapse."

There was another pavilion near the top of the mountain. Liu Zhi felt infinite power in her heart, as if the fairy Luoxia had been waiting for her.

"With the plague rampant and the people displaced, she must have been in great pain. It's a pity that she was punished by the heavenly officials and cannot enter the world."

The most beautiful woman in the world is Fairy Luoxia. Liu Zhi is at his prime and is very curious about her appearance.

"Luoxia Temple, the noble spirit restrains the will, and the six desires restrain the heart."

Liu Zhi straightened his clothes and knelt down at the entrance of Luoxia Temple, bowing deeply and saying:

“I have heard of the name of the immortal Luoxia from the Liu family, and I know that he is compassionate and helps people in need. But now the plague is raging in Jiangnan, and I am powerless to help.

I have come here to learn from you. Please, Fairy Luoxia, show me your kindness and teach me a magical recipe for curing diseases. I will never forget your kindness!"

The door of the temple slowly opened, and a young girl poked her head out, looking at him curiously with her lively eyes.

The girl had a pretty face, with colorful silk ribbons hanging from her temples. She wore a loose and ill-fitting Taoist robe, revealing her snow-white skin.

Gulu~

Liu Zhi was still young and had never seen such a fairy-like beauty. His heart was beating so fast that he forgot to speak.

"If you look at me again, I'll dig your eyes out!"

The girl bared her teeth and spoke fiercely in a clear voice.

"Uh, Liu Zhi is abrupt, fairy, please don't blame me!"

Liu Zhi quickly retracted his gaze and kowtowed vigorously to the young girl.

"Hehe~ I'm not Fairy Luoxia, I'm Fairy Luoxia's doorman. My master said that a scholar from my hometown came to the door.

Ask me to come out and see, you... look like a scoundrel rather than a scholar."

The girl tiptoed towards Liu Zhi and sniffed him. When Liu Zhi heard this, he looked up and was about to answer.

Suddenly I found that the girl's nose was very close to me, and the subtle fragrance emanating from her body was intoxicating.

"Yes...I'm sorry!"

Liu Zhi was in a trance for a moment, then struggled to wake up, his cheeks blushing and he kept apologizing.

"Hehe, do I look good?"

The girl stared at him with her big watery eyes, seeming to be looking forward to his answer.

"pretty."

"Then will you marry me? I don't want to..."

A melodious bell sounded from the temple. A struggle appeared on the face of the young girl. Then she forced herself to stand at attention and slowly stretched out her hand like a puppet.

"Come in, the master invites you!"

There was a sharp contrast between the before and after, and Liu Zhi was confused. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

He followed the young girl into Luoxia Temple, walked through the long corridor, climbed the stairs and came to an elegant and quiet study.

Inside the door, a figure in white clothes was dancing with a pen in his hand, seemingly writing something. Liu Zhi boldly looked up but found that the desk was empty.

"Is it because I am a mortal that I can't see it?"

Liu Zhi suspected that Fairy Luoxia's non-property performance was due to his lack of practice.

"Who's outside the door?"

The faint voice came without turning back, and one could tell she was a beauty at first glance.

"Liu Zhi, the Jiangnan Liu family."

"What do you want?"

Yun Bai's back asked knowingly.

"The plague is rampant in Jiangnan. I would like to ask the fairy to teach me a magical recipe to cure the disease."

"Xiaohu, there is a pill for curing the plague on the fourth bookshelf on the left. Give it to him."

The young girl raised her feet stiffly, walked towards the bookshelf step by step, picked up a jade bottle and handed it to Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi took the jade bottle, and Yun Bai waved his hand behind him, saying lazily:

"Little Fox, send him down the mountain."

Liu Zhi looked up at the young girl in confusion and found that her eyes were full of struggle and begging, which made him even more confused.

"Fairy, I am wearing..."

Rumble, lightning flashed, and Liu Zhi seemed to have violated some taboo. The voice of Fairy Luoxia with a heavier tone came from the study.

"Little Fox, what are you still standing there for? Send him down the mountain!"

The young girl tugged at Liu Zhi's sleeve.

“The thunder in the sky is a warning, and the couplet on the pavilion on the mountainside shows that Fairy Luoxia is a time traveler, and she was punished by the Sage Master.

If I say the word "traveller", will she or I be punished by the Holy Master?"

Thinking of this, Liu Zhi changed his approach and mustered up the courage to speak to Yun Bai from behind:

"May I ask, fairy, why are you sitting upside down?"

In the study, Yun Bai stopped what he was doing and answered slowly.

"Sigh, sentient beings refuse to turn back."

Liu Zhi was overjoyed when the secret signal was answered, and he knelt down again and said:

"Please teach me a recipe for healing the world."

It's not about curing diseases but governing the world. In this world, the first time traveler, Fairy Luoxia, cannot enter the world, but he, Liu Zhi, can.

“To govern the world, one must first govern oneself. This immortal has three volumes of heavenly books in his hands. Only if they can withstand the test, will Mr. Beichen allow me to pass them on to others.

This is a road of no return, are you... sure you want to learn it?"

"I am willing to learn."

Liu Zhi answered affirmatively

"Then I ask you, do not kill, do not steal, can you keep it?"

"I can hold it!"

Liu Zhi's eyes were firm.

"Don't tell lies, don't commit adultery, can you keep it?"

Liu Zhi raised his head and glanced at the young girl. After a moment of inner struggle, he said silently:

"I can hold it!"

The struggle in the young girl's eyes prayed for it to disappear and return to peace.

"Very good. This immortal has three volumes of heavenly books in his hand. The first is to stop killing by killing, the second is to save the world by practicing medicine, and the third is to bring peace to the world. Which one do you want to learn?"

"Peace on earth!"

Liu Zhi did not hesitate. Saving the people infected with the plague would not satisfy him. He wanted to learn how to govern the world like a saint and live the life that his parents and the people expected him to live.

People only know how to cherish something after they lose it. In his previous life, he was an orphan and could not experience the love of his parents, so he cherishes it especially in this life.

Although when I was a child, I was like people in my previous life. I hated the fate arranged by my parents and hated responding to my parents' expectations.

But I saw them humble themselves to others in order to make up for the mistakes they made, and I saw them hide the delicious food.

She was reluctant to eat it herself and insisted on waiting for him to come back before she took it out. She kept saying that she had eaten it and asked her son to try it. Liu Zhi couldn't help feeling sad.

The warmth of "home" heals his once wounded heart. He wants to respond to his parents' expectations and pass on this warmth to others.

He wanted to be a saint.
