Chapter 123: The Dharma is Boundless
Demon?
What is a demon?
Devil is the voice of the nation of India; Originally, there were two words, the so-called Moro.
"Demon" is translated as "killer", "life-taking", "obstacle", etc., and is also known as "demon". Everything that disturbs the mind and body and hinders the cultivation of the mind can be called "demons" or "demonic obstacles."
There are many ways to talk about "demons" in the scriptures, and there are mainly "four demons" as obstacles: one is the "demon of trouble", that is, greed, hatred, and ignorance. The second is the "five yin demons", that is, all kinds of physical and mental troubles. The third is the "Death Demon", that is, the threat of impermanence of life and death, and the fourth is the "Heavenly Demon", that is, the demon king of the sixth day of the desire realm, named "Demon Bo Xun". It is said that he often led demons to the human world to destroy the Dharma. On the eve of Shakyamuni's enlightenment, he ambushed the demon army led by Mobo Xun under the Bodhi tree.
The so-called one thought becomes a demon, and one thought becomes a Buddha.
If that's the case, then the demon doesn't actually exist, it's just a thought.
The so-called way of eliminating demons is only removing the evil thoughts in the heart.
But why did this product really hit itself?
Zhou Chen looked at Wu Chengtian with a puzzled face, his eyes seemed to be seeking answers. Wu Chengtian's face became more and more solemn, and the matter was completely beyond what he thought, and he explained: "If I guess correctly, this demon is the thought in Yu Houcun's heart, and over time, the thoughts will be separated, and Yu Houcun is worried that he will fall into the devil's way; So they sealed it. ”
"That's right, exactly; If Old Man Yu had been able to let go earlier, his cultivation would not have been just like this, but it was a pity that Old Man Yu had never been able to let go and become one with me. I have to thank you two today, if it weren't for you, I guess Old Man Yu wouldn't have let me out. ”
"It doesn't matter if you're a ghost or a demon, just kill you." Zhou Chen rubbed his aching chest and said coldly.
"What an arrogant boy, even if it is the heyday of Wu Chengtian, I am afraid that he would not dare to boast of such a Haikou. Today, I will kill you, devour you, and make me an immortal with this pearl of blood. ”
Yu Houcun snorted coldly at the demon that he wanted to refine in his heart, and his figure rushed towards Zhou Chen, and immediately turned his palm into a claw and struck towards Zhou Chen's neck. Looking at the other party's attack, Zhou Chen's face was solemn, and he immediately gathered his mind and ran towards the other party.
"Bang"
The fists collided, and a strong force was transmitted along the arm to the body, Zhou Chen only felt that the arm bones seemed to be about to break, and he couldn't bear this strong bombardment, and the whole person was blasted out again. Seeing that Yu Houcunnian wanted to refine the demon without hesitation, he chased after him, and immediately turned his fist into a claw, approaching Zhou Chen's neck.
The body was blasted out, and it seemed that the bones of the entire body were broken, and Zhou Chen wanted to volley over and stop, but the body couldn't move at all. I saw the claws of the demon hand refined by Yu Houcun attacking his neck, if he was caught, it would only be death.
Under the great desire for life, Zhou Chen endured the pain, staring coldly at the attacking enemy; There is nothing to be done in his heart, after all, even the thunder palm can't make the enemy hurt, so what else can be done. Just when Zhou Chen was at a loss, Wu Chengtian's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Little brother, take the sword."
Hearing the sound, Zhou Chen immediately turned his head to look, only to see Wu Cheng Angel throw the sword in his hand towards him with all his strength, Zhou Chen endured the severe pain, turned over in a volley, grabbed the sword, and stabbed at the opponent who came down.
"Poof"
A fierce stab, extremely abrupt, even if the other party is a demon, it can't dodge in time, the sword only pierces the opponent's chest, almost piercing the opponent's chest.
"Damn."
Yu Houcun's mind refining demon roared, grabbed the sharp sword that pierced into his chest, and clenched his other hand into a fist, slamming it towards Zhou Chen's chest.
"Bang"
With a strong force, Zhou Chen's whole person was knocked out and fell heavily to the ground; Suddenly, my mind was a little confused, and I actually felt like I was fainting; The corners of his mouth kept spitting blood, Zhou Chen endured the pain, shook his head fiercely, squinted his eyes and vaguely saw the demon figure quickly attacking him.
Finished.
It's all over.
No matter how unwilling he is, even if he is reluctant, the difference in strength is too great, and he can't resist the bombardment of the other party.
At this moment, a person's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, but before Zhou Chen could see the figure of that person, he fell directly to the ground and fainted. Just when Zhou Chen fainted, he saw a figure appear in mid-air, the person was wearing a robe, chanting the Buddha's words, and the palm was holding a "swastika", and blasted at the demon who was hitting Zhou Chen.
"Bang"
The shocking sound like Huang Zhong Da Lu sounded, almost shaking the ground, and the invincible demon turned into nothing and disappeared under this palm bombardment. Just when this earth-shattering palm hit the demon, Yu Houcun suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person was paralyzed to the ground, with a pale face.
"Amitabha, donor, the sea of suffering is endless, and turning back is the shore." The figure of the monk floated to the ground, folded his hands, and slowly spoke.
"Who are you?" Facing such a strong cultivator and such a domineering monk, Yu Houcun looked frightened and asked coldly.
"Amitabha, the old man's name is to quit demons." The Demon Ring Master raised his head slightly, and said with a solemn face.
"The first seat of the Shaolin Temple Discipline Academy, the master of demon ringing?" Yu Houcun said with a frightened face.
He really didn't expect that the people of Shaolin Temple would be dispatched, and as soon as they were dispatched, they would be such a powerful character; It is rumored that in order to penetrate the supreme Dharma, this demon master deliberately became a demon, and finally eliminated the demon in his mind and became a monk, so he changed the name of the law to a demon precept; There are even rumors that he has understood the cycle of life and death and can sit and become an immortal, but he thinks that there is a lot of suffering in the world, and people in Buddhism need to be universal to all people before they do not ascend to immortals. Although this person is only the first of the Shaolin Temple Precept Academy, his cultivation is even more powerful than the abbot of Shaolin Temple.
"It's the old man, Amitabha. Donor, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. The Demon Ring Master said slowly.
"The master has abolished my cultivation, don't say anything!" Yu Houcun snorted coldly and responded coldly.
"Amitabha, the old man is eager to save people's hearts, and he has to do it as a last resort." The demon master clasped his hands together and said: "What's more, the practice of Buddhism is not about whether the skill is profound, if you are dedicated to the Buddha, even if you have no cultivation, you can become a Buddha on the spot." ”
"Hmph...... Then why didn't the master abandon his self-cultivation? Yu Houcun said sarcastically with a sneer.
"Yu Houcun, the demon master has good intentions, but you don't know what to do. Thou hast done many evils, and thou hast killed several lives, and even death will not be able to atone for thy sins. Wu Chengtian rebuked angrily.
"At this time, my cultivation is useless, and you want to kill me just in a snap of your fingers; If I do so evil, you will kill me. Yu Houcun sneered and responded coldly.
"Amitabha." The demon master clasped his hands together and said slowly: "Since you can't feel my Buddha's meaning, then follow the martial master!" ”
"Thank you, Master, for your timely action." Wu Chengtian said with a grateful face.
"Amitabha, Lao Wei also heard the news and came here on purpose, but he just unintentionally inserted willows. The donor is determined and has a relationship with my Buddha, and the old man just understands my Buddha's will. The Master of Ringing folded his hands and explained.
Hearing this, Wu Chengtian looked surprised, he originally planned to win over Zhou Chen to join the Laoshan sect. In this way, it seems that the demon master also takes a fancy to Zhou Chen, does he intend to let him shave his hair and practice? Become a Buddhist? Although he was unwilling, in terms of seniority, Wu Chengtian and the Demon Ring Master were three generations apart, so he didn't dare to say the slightest rebuttal, so he had to nod slightly.
