Chapter Forty-Eight: Lost and Returned (I)

"King Jizo, I'm a part of you if you're so ruthless!" the evil god said in shock.

More precisely, the evil god is the result of a wisp of evil thoughts in the divine consciousness of the king of Jizo. The Supreme Dao has always followed the truth that there is a cause and there must be an effect, and since he is a sinister obstacle, the King of Jizo knows that he still has to focus on crossing, so he stopped his actions and shook his head helplessly.

The golden arrows formed by countless Buddha lights stopped at half a foot of the evil god, "Amitabha, good, good, the Buddha is right, good and evil are just a thought, and the deity is really ashamed." Jizo King Lingran said.

Long Yang got up in pain, swaying, looking at the Jizo King in front of him, his eyes were blurred, he didn't know what to say, his heart was complicated, he had always had a wish, that is, to become a figure on the avenue, so that his grandparents and parents could come back to life, the road is far away, when he will be able to fulfill his wish, this is also a mystery.

"Venerable Jizo, I want to ask, what is the Supreme Dao" Long Yang bowed and asked King Jizo.

"There is also a Tao in the Tao, and emptiness is also the Tao, and the road ahead of the donor is still very far away, and the deity cannot reveal the heavenly opportunity. King Jizo replied.

This sentence sounded very familiar, as if he had heard someone say that it was a quiet monk! Long Yang thought about it.

When I visited the ghost building of the school at night, Yijing said the same thing as the King of Jizo, could it be that Yijing bald donkey knew the secrets of the Heavenly Dao, and I muttered in my heart, forget it, I will talk about it later, the most important thing now is to clean up the evil Shura and the evil god.

"It's inconvenient for Venerable Jizo to reveal, and it's not difficult for people to be forced below," Long Yang bowed to the armrest and said respectfully.

King Jizo raised his finger and nodded, not saying anything more.

"Don't behave here, Buddhism is self-inspiring to be able to purify sentient beings, but that's it, everything in the world is grass mustard, there is life and death, why do you point to those evil spirits and ghosts, and stay in the hell of Abi for 10,000 years" The evil god said coldly, trying to attack the psychological defense line of the King of Jizo.

"Have you heard of the story of the Nine Ghost Stones," King Jizo said quietly, without refuting it.

"Of course I know, that's it, you!" the evil god said in surprise, his usual black face twitched, and his mind remembered a past incident in the Dune Temple of Mantuo Country one day more than 2,000 years ago......

The ancient country of Mantuo is a small country more than 2,000 years ago, its land is located on the western sand sea, the reason why it is called the sand sea, because the territory of this small country is almost all deserts, oases are very scarce, the whole country, all live on the desert wild animals hunting.

One day, when a young novice passed by the country of Mantuo, he went to visit the Dune Temple, and when he saw that the presiding officer of the temple was eating meat, he said curiously: "The monks obey the precepts of the Qing Dynasty, why does the master eat meat here, isn't this a violation of the meat precepts?"

The old monk did not answer the words of the little novice, but continued to feast on the beast meat in the wooden bowl, and after a short time, the monk said with a full burp.

"Amitabha, you better hurry up, this is not the place for you to stay, go find another place to chant and talk about the Buddha." ”

"I didn't expect you to be a fake monk with a beast's heart, defiling the holy land of Buddhism, it's ridiculous" Xiao Shami put a small bamboo basket on his back and went out of the temple gate in a fit of anger.

Outside the temple gate, surrounded by soldiers from the Mantuo Kingdom, a warrior in golden armor walked out, stopped the little novice, and said in a rough voice: "I heard that there is a foreign monk from the Dune Temple, it should be you." ”

Xiao Shami was stunned for a moment, his eyes were full of vigilance, and he said, "What is the donor looking for me?" ”

"What's the matter, arrest you!" said the Golden Warrior fiercely, and he was about to arrest the little novice.

"I don't mean to be offended, I'm just a person who recites the Buddha and talks about the Buddha, why are you arresting me," the little novice rebelled, retreating and running into the Dune Temple.

"Amitabha, I said that I told you to go quickly, but I was still tracked down by the officers and soldiers, alas, ......"

The presiding old monk sighed for a while, and his old cheeks, with traces of unknown years, slowly wrinkled into a heap, and walked into the Zen courtyard with his back bowed.

Xiao Shami was stunned, not knowing the deep meaning of the old monk's words. The sound of clattering footsteps came from behind the temple gate, and the golden warrior pushed open the temple gate, but instead of entering, he stared at the little novice outside the door.

"Even if you run fast, out of this temple gate, the Buddha can't save you. The Golden Samurai snorted softly and disappeared outside the temple gate.

There was a sound of wooden fish tapping in the meditation room, and the old monk was reciting the thirty-six Buddhist scriptures for the atonement of all things, and the room was dark and damp, and there was a smell of mold from time to time.

The little novice staggered and walked an unknown distance to reach the country of Mantuo, blood spilled from the clogs, and the soles of his feet were afraid of being worn out.

Walking into the meditation room, the old monk was still beating the wooden fish, his eyes were closed, and after half an hour, the sound of the wooden fish hitting stopped.

"Alas, a country can't become a country, a family can't become a family, and the same is true for temples, this Mantuo country is already a purgatory ear on earth!" the presiding old monk sighed and shook his head with a bitter face.

Xiao Shami put down the bamboo basket, bowed to a statue of Maitreya Buddha not far away, and said: "Amitabha, what is the master difficult to say, can you talk to the little monk." ”

"Well, why not let you know," said the presiding old monk with a wave of his hand.

An old man and a young man, the two sat on the ground and spoke.

"The country of Mantuo has been a thousand years old, and the desert realm is very depleted, but it is not rich, and the fortunes of the country have weakened since the arrival of this generation of new kings, and it has been in danger of fighting all things for many years. There is a country in a hundred miles, called Xia Zhongguo, the Ming Lord Xingli, the people of the country love it, once the two countries fought against the Mantuo country and won a big victory, caught tens of thousands of captives, the new king ordered to slaughter all the people who have shown the world, my Buddha has always been merciful and can't bear to kill, the Dune Temple jointly signed a letter, begging to release these innocent captives, unexpectedly, cough cough "The old monk who presided over the cough did not stop, I am afraid that he is riddled with diseases, and his body is sick.

Xiao Shami asked, "Then, did the new king let Xia Zhongguo's captives go?"

"No, on the contrary, it provoked the anger of the new king, and washed the Dune Temple in blood, and now there is only one old man left," the old monk said here, full of grief.

"It's really better than a beast, a man who has lost his conscience. Although the little novice is a member of Buddhism, he is also a man of human heart, and said angrily.

After that, the new king issued an unspeakable edict that if the presiding officer of the Dune Temple ate the meat of the beasts sent by the palace every day in front of the crowd, he would not only let the prisoners go, but would never step into the Dune Temple again, so the poor monks endured the humiliation and agreed to come down, only for those poor worldly mortals. ”

After the old monk finished speaking, he was relieved, and the little novice was furious after hearing this, "Heaven is intolerable, it is really intolerable!"
