The standards for selecting scholars in the imperial examination are body, speech, writing, and judgment.

The so-called "body" refers to the physical appearance, which ranks first among the four standards, which shows how important appearance is to the imperial examination.

A good appearance is better than a good article. Sometimes whether you can be a judge is three points for the article and seven points for the face. For example, in the palace exam, one person's strategy theory came first. But the emperor thought he was not good-looking, so he gave the champion to another handsome candidate.

Feudal society believes that a person is born from the heart, and a person must be talented if he looks good. If he looks like a mouse, even if he has great ability, it will make people suspect that his mind is not pure.

There are even express regulations that those with short eyebrows and small eyes cannot be officials, but only officials.

As for the white-faced scholar, although he has the word "white face", but his skin is relatively fair, but his facial features are not very good, even a little wretched.

The right eye is somewhat incomplete, and the eye socket is slightly distorted, which is obviously incomplete from birth. .

"Amitabha."

Du Shi muttered a dharma name in a low voice, and said, "If you really want to serve the people, I can make you look good."

Hearing this sentence, the scholar was stunned for a moment, touched his head and said with doubts on his face: "Shouldn't an expert like you just go down the mountain and let the old emperor issue an edict? Let the world no longer judge people by their appearance, so Isn't it better?"

"So what if I got a good skin? There will still be ugly people in the world who will suffer, and I just took the opportunity to get out of the mud. You should be a great fairy, so it's okay to tell people in the world not to judge people by their appearance?"

There was a touch of approval in Dushi's eyes, he was considered a man to be made, with a little bit of Buddha nature.

There are many qualified people in the world, and there is no shortage of geniuses in the era, but there are very few people who dare to be the first in the world. Just like Jianzong thousands of years ago, he did what he knew he couldn't do.

Before he could explain, the people in the thatched cottage came out.

The Taoist was dressed in Tsing Yi, with good features, red lips and white teeth, not very handsome, but that ethereal demeanor made people unable to move their eyes away.

He said: "The love of beauty is human nature, and the prejudices of people's hearts are like a big mountain. Even if we have the ability to move mountains and catch up with the moon, it is difficult to move them."

This person is Li Changsheng, who is the head of the immortal world today and is known as the living true immortal. Even if it is Huashen, you have to bow to him.

Dushi put down the scholar, put his right hand upright in front of him, bent slightly, and said respectfully, "Immortal Elder."

Seeing the monk's respectful attitude, the scholar didn't dare to make a fuss, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I've seen a fairy."

He is a mortal who does not know living immortals. There are many legends about immortals among mortals, but these immortals do not refer to a specific person. But he still knows some ways of the world. If such a powerful monk has to bow his head, then the Taoist in front of him must be even more powerful.

Li Changsheng nodded slightly, and said in a calm voice: "One of my decrees can change the sky in all directions in Kyushu, change the emperor's position, and make the people cut their hair and skin, and change their long hair to short hair, but they can't change people's hearts."

The scholar opened his mouth slightly, wanting to blurt out his knowledge, but he was afraid of offending the god. He was apprehensive for a long time, but soon he mustered up the courage again.

Because he didn't feel any sense of oppression when he looked at the Taoist, unlike the eminent monk next to him, nor like any big man he had seen.

As gentle and peaceful as a spring breeze, there is no depth.

Ordinary people will think that this is approachable in the true sense, not only has no sense of distance, but can even comfort people's hearts. And those who practice will be even more awed, because the immortal's return to basics has reached the point where they can't detect it.

Crossing the world belongs to the former, and he still remembers being able to feel the breath of the immortal when he met the immortal for the first time. I thought that after being promoted to Huashen, he would be able to sit on an equal footing with him, at least in the same realm.

But when he came to Huashen, he only saw an even bigger gap.

The scholar belongs to the latter, and he thinks he is pleading for the world, and said solemnly: "How will you know if you don't try? Thousands of years ago, there was a sword sect who saved the world from fire and water, and today's peace is still there. Why can't we follow the example of the predecessors and serve Whoever has aspirations in the world will open up the world again?"

"If you really have that ability, opening Jinkou can at least save many people's careers."

Li Yi shook his head with a smile, and asked back: "If I speak, how can you guarantee that you will not become new privileges?"

"You just opened your mouth to cancel the body in the sentence, how can it be a privilege? If you really want to talk about privileges, those descendants of the aristocratic family are the ones."

The scholar replied, his voice raised slightly, and he seemed a little excited.

He seemed to regard this conversation as an opportunity to change the world. It's a pity that Li Changsheng won't be instigated by him, just like adults don't care about children's words and deeds.

In Li Changsheng's eyes, the scholar is undoubtedly a child.

Opening your own mouth can indeed ensure that these phenomena will disappear. The separation between immortals and mortals does not mean that the mortals are completely let go. The Shangqing Palace still retains the right to supervise the mortal dynasty. Every three years, some disciples will go down the mountain to investigate, both publicly and privately.

The standards of the two are different. On the surface, they attach great importance to the emperor's virtue, but in private, there is only one hard target, which is enough to have enough food and clothing. Unless there is a famine, generally speaking, as long as the tax is not so heavy, there is no problem with eating enough.

"Immortals like you are people with great merit, why don't you do one more good deed?"

Li Changsheng looked up at the waterfall slightly, and replied in a flat voice: "When something is too heavy, it will produce a huge inertia wherever it falls. Just like this waterfall, the flowing water is harmless, and it falls into the water. In my words, it is more important than this." Heavier, heavier."

Although the scholar's words are innocent, his nature is not bad. Moreover, only by standing high enough can you see things farther away. Position determines the way of thinking, and Li Changsheng is well aware of his own weight.

The greater its strength, the greater its harm.

"When I tell the mortal dynasty not to judge people by their appearance and treat ugly people kindly. Then the people below will continue to deepen it around this sentence, and in the end your appearance will become the next body in the judgment. Furthermore, if ugliness is regarded as beautiful, it is not impossible to reverse beauty and ugliness.”

"Do you want the world to obey you, or you to obey the world? Inequality is the norm. I can only let everyone at least stand on the ground."

The scholar was completely stunned and didn't know how to answer, he was full of economics and choked in his throat.

"this……"

For a long time he couldn't talk back.

"But I can help you alone, if you don't plan to practice Buddhism with monks."

Li Changsheng turned his head to look at the monk, and asked, "Are you planning to take him as a disciple?"

"It's rare to find a Buddha-nature, and it's even rarer to find someone who repays grievances with virtue." Dushi didn't deny it.

He does have plans to accept apprentices, and he has observed this scholar for a long time. Although he is discriminated against because of his appearance, he still does a lot of good deeds on weekdays.

"Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" Li Changsheng asked, and then looked at the monk with some helplessness: "You, the brain is the axis. It is good for Buddhism to teach, but not everyone can teach."

"Amitabha, the little monk will know how to measure himself."

"Your duty is to help people to the end, to send Buddha to the west, don't you feel tired? Forget it, let you go."

Li Changsheng shook his head and no longer cared about the monk's affairs. Although the monk's good-natured temperament made people tired just looking at him, at least he knew that killing people paid for their lives.

Instead of blindly de-educating.

He turned around and walked into the thatched hut, and Du Shi followed, leaving only the scholar standing there in deep thought.

"sit down."

Du Shi sat down very naturally, looked around for a while, and said, "How long has the Immortal Elder been here?"

"Three years."

"Isn't the moon palace coming back? Recently, the poor monk heard some rumors that the rabbit spirit has become more and more presumptuous towards you since it broke through. It has no sense of propriety, and even claimed to be your Taoist companion."

Du Shiyue said that the expression on his face became more excited, with a little anger.

As a Buddhist, although he didn't go to the point of shouting and killing monsters as soon as they met, he didn't have a good face because of the tens of thousands of years of conflicts between humans and monsters. Not to mention that the rabbit gave him a bad impression at the beginning, and the monsters lurking among humans are a potential danger.

Only monsters that do not enter Kyushu are good monsters.

But the other party is very pleasing to the immortal, so he can only give up when he crosses the world.

But recently there have been some bad rumors circulating in the Moon Palace, and I happened to be passing through the world, so I came here to ask.

"That rabbit spirit is too outrageous. Immortal, how could you be deceived by the beauty of the goblin? No one with a high level of morality will be seduced by the goblin. The immortal should stop her as soon as possible, lest the rumors spread more and more widely, otherwise there will be more rumors. Ruin your reputation."

Du Shi said with great pain, the words were sincere, but it fell into Li Changsheng's ears as if he was connoting himself.

Li Changsheng paused while drinking tea, raised his head and asked, "Monk, I'm not a monk, nor a Taoist priest of pure cultivation."

Since he beheaded the Supreme Wangqing, his emotions and desires and his physical body are all normal. People with great supernatural powers are not emotional, but they have seen too much, their horizons are too high, or they don't have that kind of thought.

Li Changsheng was like this thousands of years ago, but after a thousand years, he can't stand the softness of the rabbit. Feelings can be cultivated. He admits that he has followed the way of the rabbit. But there is not much resistance to this, just go with the flow.

"Um?!"

Dushi turned his head suddenly, as if he heard what Li Changsheng meant, his eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Are you really having an affair with that rabbit spirit?"

Li Changsheng's face turned black when he heard this word, and said: "An affair refers to an improper relationship. I have no wife and she has no husband. How can I have an affair if you love me?"

"But she's a monster."

"What about demons?"

"It's over, it's over, Immortal Elder, you must have been confused by that rabbit spirit. I have a mental method here, to enter my Buddha..."

boom!

Du Shi's body suddenly leaned forward, and then came into close contact with the ground. There was a loud bang, and the whole person was stuck in the mud, and even with all his strength, he couldn't get up.

"Immortal Elder, turn your head and go the right way, human monsters have different paths."

The monk still didn't forget to preach at this time, and just after he finished speaking, his body sank a few centimeters into the mud.

Li Changsheng took a sip of his tea, and said, "The difference between a human and a monster is for mortals. They can't bear the evil spirit, just like it is difficult for a cultivator to combine with mortals."

After a while, Du Shi got up in disgrace, opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak when he was shot into the ground again.

After repeating this several times, he finally stood up silently, and stood beside him obediently, no longer preaching.

"Immortal Elder, the Rabbit Essence is actually pretty good too. Although she often lurked in the land of smoke and willows, she used paper dolls as substitutes to serve as maids, and her vital yin still exists. The vital yin of a demon sage is helpful for cultivation."

When they met for the first time, Toshi saw the reality of the other party. At the beginning, he was a perfect body, and he has been surrounded by immortals since then, so he should not commit himself to other people.

Originally, Toshi thought that the two of them would not have that kind of relationship, but he didn't expect Rabbit Jing to plot evil.

Things have come to this, Dushi can only support.

As he spoke, Dushi took out a volume of Buddhist scriptures, made of gold silk and satin, on which there were endless Buddhist teachings and contained the Dao of Yin and Yang.

"The poor monk is a monk of Qingxiu, but the inheritance of Huanxi Buddha is still preserved in the sect. At present, it is forbidden to practice in the Buddhist sect, and it is useless to keep it. It is better to hand it over to the elder."

Yin and Yang dual cultivation has not been an evil way since ancient times, but some people's bad behavior has stigmatized it. The mainstream of Buddhism now pays attention to pure cultivation, but monks will not speak ill of dual cultivation.

Huanxi Buddha belongs to the branch of Buddhism that was born in a very long time, and there must be no problem before ancient times. But after entering the age of Immortal Dao, after his own Great Thunder Sound Buddhist Sect was in charge of Buddhism, the status of Huanxi Buddha became very embarrassing.

Some of the exercises and concepts are good, and most of the disciples' children are rapers and robbers.

Now the Huanxi Buddha faction has been sent to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, lest their disciples and disciples harm women from good families. The inheritance fell into Dushi's hands, he didn't want the harmless exercises to perish because of others, but he couldn't practice them himself.

Just sent it out today.

boom!

Toshi was photographed again.

Li Yi frowned slightly and said, "Am I that kind of person? But since you have the heart, then I will accept it."

"..."

Du Shi got up again, not to mention too much, he was used to the personality of immortals who like to do things from the beginning.

Back then, he would punch if he couldn't say no, and he would be persuaded in the end.

Li Changsheng took the scroll of Huanxi Buddha's inheritance and read it, and in his spare time, he also turned his attention to the protagonist on the table.

"Pro"

【Tomorrow, where the earth is, to understand the origin of all things, the meaning of the three talents...】

The black font is neat and elegant, if you don't look carefully, you can't find any clues. But once he put his attention on it, his eyes were pulled closer in an instant, and the word was infinitely raised, as if it was still taller than the mountains.

Dushi couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and it wasn't until Li Yi tapped his eyebrows that he slowly came back to his senses.

Even so, he still stared at the bamboo slips on the table and asked, "Xianchang, what is this?"

"Proverbs in Linzi." Li Changsheng replied, "I don't know what it is taught by heaven and earth."

It is rare for Tiandi to actively teach the method, and there are various information attached to it, which is extremely clear, and it does not seem to be the work of Tiandao.

"Perhaps it is the inheritance left by a certain ancient power in the world, which happened to be realized by me."

"Ask the immortal to pass on the Dharma!"

Du Shi knelt down on his knees and put his head on the ground, and was lifted up by an invisible force in the next second.

"You can take it if you want to learn it." Li Changsheng handed it over to Dushi like throwing away trash. This thing is knowledge, which can be copied infinitely.

"I used it for a while, and it can increase my understanding of the world."

"Thank you Immortal for teaching the Dharma."

Dushi picked up the bamboo slips, as if he picked up a small world.

He took the scholar back to Buddhism, and the other party decided to shave his hair and follow the monk after careful consideration. The reason sounds grand and not in line with the great love of Buddhism, to fight for justice for the deformed and ugly people in the world.

A hundred years later, the master of the Red Buddha passed away and passed away at the age of 2008.

According to folklore in Buddhism, Master Toshi did not die, but became a true Buddha.

Because after that day, the bodhi world was very quiet.
