Chapter 366: Human Suffering
No one is born an enemy, and the competing interests lead to war.
Now that he is involved in the war, he has no choice between life and death.
These two laws apply to this war, and they apply to any war.
But the law is cold, and the human heart is not.
Yifeng now felt an unspeakable sorrow, he walked aimlessly on the battlefield, where corpses were strewn everywhere, and tens of thousands of corpses were under his feet, and the death was miserable.
His heart was turbulent, surging with sorrow over the death of tens of thousands of lives, surging with helplessness at the fate of the inevitable battle.
This is a backlash of conscience.
In war, there are many factors to win, a strong army is one, and a good general is also one.
The ancient law has clouds, and those who want the same thing from top to bottom win.
The greatest combat power of a strong army is the military heart, and the military spirit is the desire for unity, and only by uniting the hearts of all people can a strong combat effectiveness be formed.
In this battle, all the Buddhist monks understood that they had no way out, and their way out was death, so their instinct to survive became their greatest wish, and then the sadness of hurting their fellow kinds, and the compassion of Buddhism.
They all know this deeply, so they are able to use the deepest potential of their bodies to fight bravely and fight bloodily.
When there is no savior, they are their own gods, and this is the same desire, and victory is not a fluke.
But good generals are also an important reason.
The vanguard is, of course, a general, and one of the most important.
On the real battlefield, a good vanguard general is even more important than the commander.
A vanguard general, he goes deep into the battlefield, he must be more rational and calm than the commander, he must also make the best judgment at all times, he must be cold-hearted, and he must also be more forbearant and strong.
All those who have been eroded by the karma of Shura know the mystery and power of this power.
It can stimulate the most essential evil of human nature, forming demonic thoughts, so they become murderous and bloodthirsty, like madness.
The evil hidden in their hearts makes them do all the evil and turn a deaf ear, and they will have a refreshing illusion of mastering the fate of others.
This feeling can be said to be the extreme of satisfying desires, and they think that the gods have descended to earth, and everything in heaven and earth is like a dog.
That's the pleasure of killing.
Few people can refuse this temptation of great satisfaction that shocks the soul, but there are always exceptions, and those who can refuse this temptation will surely get a more precious reward.
If Xiao Ji and the others stood on the battlefield, they would never have imagined that there was really someone who could suppress the Shura demonic thoughts.
Even their Holy Mother, the previous Buddha, could not resist the invasion of demonic thoughts and completely escaped into the Shura Path, causing the wrath of the gods and Buddhas in the Heavenly Buddha Realm.
But Yifeng did it, he endured the intense torment of the battle between gods and demons in his heart, and he calmly led the monks to cooperate with the monk corps defending the city to defeat the two major legions of the Great Wu Kingdom, among which was the famous Yulin Legion.
After this battle, there was no hostile force in Yunzhou that could threaten the Yunzhou Buddhist Sangha, and the legions in the surrounding states were also mired in the quagmire of the war of extermination and could not extricate themselves, and the Yunzhou Buddhist Sangha finally had a breath.
This breath was not easy to come by, and they also paid a terrible price.
Tens of thousands of Buddhist monks have been reduced to dry bones, their Buddhist path has been wiped out in this moment, and their hands are stained with blood as Buddhist disciples, and they cannot even escape the punishment of hell.
And the greatest merit they have achieved by sacrificing themselves and choosing to be martyred is to win a space for future generations of Buddhists to live, and this space is fought for with their lives.
Yifeng also knew that his hands were stained with blood, and when he led the monks and soldiers to attack the legionnaires like a sharp knife, he slaughtered wantonly in the crowd, and the blood poured the demonic thoughts in his heart, but at that time, he had to learn to be ruthless, this coldness was killing, and it was also perseverance.
Because he did not give up his belief in Buddhism, but he persevered in a completely contradictory way.
Therefore, while he is killing, he must also endure the constant torment of his inner Buddhist and Taoist concepts.
This painful ordeal made him even more insane.
This thorny road has only just begun, but he has no regrets.
He believes that decisive judgment and strong will will take him further.
It's just ridiculous that later, in order to strengthen his belief and prevent himself from falling into the real madness of losing his mind, he even recited the mantra of the Seven Buddhas to eliminate sins, while brutally slaughtering every enemy in his eyes.
I am afraid that this is something that the gods and Buddhas of heaven have not imagined, the strange use of the solemn and compassionate Buddha mantra, destroying sins, but killing people.
This is also the most ridiculous thing in the world at the moment, Emperor Wu rushed to kill the oppression, and the compassionate Buddhist monk had no choice but to pick up the butcher's knife.
Perhaps future generations will never imagine how funny and tragic the tens of thousands of Buddhist monks recorded in the history books are to kill tens of thousands of legionnaires.
They will never understand that a Buddhist would carry a sword, a spear, a sword, and a halberd, and let himself fall into purgatory on earth.
They don't know that it is because he is not in this era, the reality of this cruel era, forcing every Buddhist monk to take up a weapon and add a last line of defense to his life.
This is also the root of Yifeng's move "gods and demons share the sky".
He understood that this way of the world is that the gods and demons are in the same heaven, fighting endlessly, and when the gods and demons are fighting, only the Buddhists themselves can take up arms to save their lives.
But all Buddhist monks looked at the blood in their hands, and their hearts were destined to go through countless struggles and torments.
Therefore, in his boxing moves, the Nine Prisons Xuanluan, who was incarnated by the hell karma fire, also had a divine golden light in his eyes, and the red lotus karma was cremated into the Nine Heavens Phoenix, which was inevitably contaminated with the dark magic light, this is the fist intent of his move:
No demon is a true demon, and no god is a true god.
The devil was born only because of the injustice of the world, and the hands of the gods were forced to be stained with blood.
This is the real purgatory!
The cruelty of life is just the reincarnation of life, and when a person dies, it is forgotten.
But the torment and struggle of human nature is the never-ending purgatory!
Yifeng's thoughts surged, and his heart was turbulent.
He closed his eyes, took off the golden conch on his chest, rose from the ground, flew up in the air, and ran the exercises frantically, infusing the conch with spiritual power, and the conch bloomed with blazing golden light!
He looked up, and in his mysterious eyes he saw the ghosts of the heavens: their bodies had been shed, their faces like countless red smokes, exaggerated and hideous with their confusion, constantly tugging and struggling, and making silent roars.
Later generations are destined to lose sight of their names and traces in the history books, but now they have truly become martyrs and victims of Buddhism.
The biggest tragedy is not that there is a tragic ending, but that you obviously expected it, but you can never change the ending.
Xuanluan raised her head on the ground, she saw a wind lifting the conch, chanting Buddhist scriptures, the conch vibrated violently, and countless red lights appeared out of thin air in the night sky, like a flying fire meteor into the conch.
She saw that Ichifeng's arm was trembling, as if he was suffering great pain and suffering, but his body was as stoic as a rock, and he endured it silently.
After a while, a wind slowly fell from the sky.
Xuanluan immediately ran over and grabbed Yifeng's arm, only to see that Yifeng's palm holding the golden conch had been imprinted with a layer of black scars, each of which was a black Buddha statue.
Xuanluan raised his eyes, stared at Yifeng, and asked softly, "Brother Yifeng, does it hurt?"
She had witnessed Yifeng's experience of forging and reborn in the sea of red lotus karma, and she knew how tough his body muscles were.
She didn't know how much burn it would take to burn such a blackened scar on his palm, and how much pain he had endured just now.
But Ichifu shook his head.
His hands didn't hurt, because his heart was suffering more intensely than this all the time.
But a person who has great endurance and can suppress his desires is a truly powerful person.
Because desire is the biggest enemy, and only by defeating desire can it be stronger.
Ichifeng continued to walk towards the periphery of the battlefield, where most of the corpses he had killed, and he gritted his teeth and walked silently as he looked at the countless stumps and blood on the ground.
Xuanluan saw a sullen wind behind him, and he was suddenly in a bad mood, and his palm waved, spewing out black and red flames, igniting corpses and burning them into ashes, leaving himself breathless.
Yifeng didn't look back, he knew Xuanluan's actions behind him.
But in his concept, after death, a person is just a skin, so when his master dies, he is also incinerated, and Master Ran and Yuchuni are all incinerated, and even Senior Brother Ben Chang scatters Master Ran's ashes.
This is the natural embodiment of the concept of Buddhism, because it is different from the burial of ordinary people in the world, it has also been caught by Cui Ming as a corroboration of the "evil demon outer way", and has become a crime of Buddhism.
So Yifeng didn't care, but in the eyes of outsiders, even some monks on the city tower and cleaning up the battlefield, this black-robed girl was the same as the black-robed Buddha, her behavior was weird and strange, and her methods were cruel and unsightly.
Although Ichikaze had just defeated the two legions that had vowed to destroy them, defeated the enemy, and saved them.
But they were hardly grateful, they were just relieved that they had survived.
On the contrary, they had reverence for Yan Yinshan, who commanded this battle, if it weren't for his strategy, maybe they would have become dead corpses.
From this point of view, even if Yan Yinshan became the de facto commander, his refusal to become the leader of the Buddhist Sangha was undoubtedly wise, and people's hearts were too unpredictable.
Yifeng keenly captured these different and all kinds of eyes on the battlefield.
But he didn't feel much remorse, and since he was ready to go to hell, he had the consciousness to face these eyes.
He just sincerely hopes that there can be more kind and sincere people than those people, because these people are the staunch supporters and followers of the Buddha's path, and they are the soil for the Buddha's survival.
The last thing Yifeng wanted to see was that after he turned into a demon and fought bloodily and sacrificed the lives of countless Buddhist monks, he turned around and saw that the avenue of Buddhism was empty and empty, leaving only the monk with the handle of the knife in his hand, and the corpses were everywhere and the blood flowed like a river······
Without devout and kind believers, even if they win this battle, they will eventually be destroyed after the war of Buddhism and Dharma.
This kind of destruction is the irretrievable annihilation of the faith of the twenty heavenly gods and Buddhas······
