Chapter 54: All in Vain (3rd Watch)
A desolate and quaint voice suddenly came into Tianxing's ears: "You say...... What is desire? ”
Tianxing was startled, came back to his senses and looked around: "Who?" Who's talking? ”
No one answered her, only the sound of empty birdsong, whirling through the quiet forest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The voice sounded again: "Have you ever experienced the feeling of lust and heart-wrenching?" Do you know that even if everything will turn to ashes, it is still a decision to jump into it without hesitation? ”
"What are you talking about?" Tianxing scratched his head, "I didn't understand a word, can you say it again?" ”
"Don't say good things twice."
"......, uh, what the hell is that?" Hearing this, Tianxing was quite speechless in his heart.
"You know what? Desire lasts the most, and everything else is vain, like a dream. ”
Tianxing couldn't help but applaud: "Wow, that makes sense!" But...... What does this have to do with me? ”
"Elm head! Of course it has something to do with you, otherwise what do I say it does? And it's not just about you, it's about all beings in the Six Realms. Ever heard the story of the phoenix's rebirth? ”
"I haven't heard of it." Skystar shook his head.
"Well, then I'll tell you: burn the fire of your heart, and you won't extinguish your feelings. Love, the vast and the great, is called nirvana. Nirvana without departing from the Dharma. ”
Tianxing was stunned and wondered, "Uh...... What to burn, what to extinguish, what to leave? Can you put it bluntly? I didn't understand a word! Also, didn't you just tell the story of the phoenix's rebirth? Why did you suddenly say such a bunch of inexplicable things? ”
"Alas! Rotten wood can't be pecked! ”
Uh, rotten wood...... Can't peck it?
It is not to be carved...... Even she knows this, tsk......
Thinking of this, Tianxing silently despised this uneducated voice in his heart.
But she finally understood this sentence of scolding her, and suddenly she couldn't hold it back: "Hey, I'm a goblin, not a rotten wood, you ......"
Before the words were finished, I heard a few soft rumbling sounds, and out of the forest came a giant beast with a human face and a leopard body, with a long tail and ears like a cow, it walked with its tail on its head, and coiled its tail when resting, and made a few loud noises from time to time, so that it trembled on all sides, and saw that this strange beast gradually walked away with its tail, Tianxing was startled, and hurriedly held her breath, she looked around, and saw that there were many huge snow rabbits on all sides, phoenix-tailed foxes with fiery red tails, and water leopards with light blue bodies, There are also some other animals, all exuding a powerful demonic aura, and in front of them, it seems to be an ancient forest.
"Puff, puff......" At this moment, Tianxing heard a strange sound from the river not far away, it sounded like someone was blowing bubbles in the water, she was a little strange, so she brushed aside the lush branches and leaves that were hidden in front of her, and walked towards the place where the river was.
The golden sun shone on the surface of the river, and there were many unknown wildflowers and soft green grass by the river, and it was by the river that Tianxing saw a little girl.
The girl looked like she was only eight or nine years old, with two pigtails on her head and a few colorful wildflowers on her head, and she looked innocent and lovely.
Hiding behind a big tree, Tianxing saw the girl wandering by the riverbank, hurriedly closed her eyes, held her breath, and probed with her sense.
Everywhere the divine consciousness went, everything was in full view, and now even the small insects in the dirt could be seen clearly by the stars.
Along the way, Celestial Star finally saw something in the river.
It is no wonder that the little girl saw it so fascinated, it turned out that in that river, there was a fish seven or eight feet long, shaped like a carp, the fish was red all over, as if it was covered in the glow, except for the tail of the different color, it looked the same, Tianxing noticed that the tail of this fish was red, yellow, blue, white and black five colors.
When the little girl saw a fish swimming towards her, she said "huh" suspiciously, and then she squatted down, covered her gurgling belly, and stretched out a hand: "Fish, fish, I'm hungry, can I eat you?" ”
The five-colored fish spit out bubbles when she heard this, rolled her eyes and looked at her: "Puff, you little girl, come and ask me if you eat it?" Aren't you kidding me? Come on, a normal fish would say no! I'm not stupid! ”
"When the Buddha cut meat and fed it to the eagle, can't you imitate it?"
"Puff, I'm a fish, not a Buddha, what do you want to do with it?" The five-colored fish turned around, "Besides, the stupidest thing in the world is the Buddha, and I don't know how to refuse that eagle, if it were me, I would beat it away with a stick, and then tell it: everything is illusory, your hunger is an illusion, of course, being beaten by me is also an illusion, hahahaha......"
The little girl was taken aback when she heard this, and stretched out her hand to catch the five-colored fish: "You are just a fish, how dare you talk about the Buddha?" Talking about the avenue? ”
"Puff, what about arguing? You need to know that heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are used as dogs! Heaven and earth are still not in my eyes, how old is the Buddha? Besides, although I am ordinary, this is the only one. ”
"Shut up! The heart of the Buddha is all connected, and the two religions have always been the same wind! If you talk about the Buddha's heart, you are disrespectful to the Great Dao! ”
The Buddha's heart and the Tao are all connected, the two religions have always been the same wind, that is, there is no difference between the Buddha and the Tao, but the path is different, and whether it is the cultivation of the Buddha and the Tao, in the end they are all the same, whether it is Pangu opening the world and turning the three clear Daoqi, or the Shakyamuni Buddha who founded Buddhism, in essence, they are all one, and they will eventually return to the same place, the Buddha is complete, and they all lead to the road, so the little girl said that the Buddha's heart and the Tao are all connected, and there is some truth.
And the Buddha is also the same as the demon fairy, divided into many levels, there are Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, monk and nuns, etc., the Buddha is equivalent to the nine-rank immortal of the immortal clan, the heaven and earth gods of the god world, the nine-order demon of the demon clan, the Bodhisattva is equivalent to the seven-rank Taixian of the immortal clan, the seven-order demon god of the demon clan, and the Arhat is equal to the immortal and Xuan Xian of the immortal clan. At this time, this fish talked about the Buddha in vain, that is, he did not respect the Buddha's way, did not respect the avenue of the world, and the little girl was unhappy when she saw it arrogant.
"Puff, what's the avenue? I only know that life and death will take a moment, everything is dust, and only desire lasts. Moreover, I forgot that since I was born conscious, I only respect desires, do not worship gods and Buddhas, do not cultivate the Great Dao, and everything in the world is for me, but the clouds are blinding my eyes. ”
The little girl's face was flushed with anger: "If you say such things, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?" ”
"Puff, what about damnation? In these ten worlds, as long as there is desire, there will be my shadow, and desire will never die, and I will never die. ”
"Ahhh You stinky fish! I'm so! The little girl dropped the bouquet in her hand, rolled up her sleeves and was about to catch the five-colored fish in the river, "Since you only respect desires, do not believe in gods and Buddhas, and do not respect the Great Dao, then I might as well eat you!" See if you can transcend the barrier of life and death and come back to life! ”
"Huh! Wait! The five-colored fish trembled, and finally stopped spitting bubbles, "You little doll, do you want to eat me?" ”
"Uh......" the little girl hesitated, "it makes some sense, but didn't you just say that you only believe in desires, and everything else is illusory?" Then you are eaten by me, it is also illusory. ”
"This ......" the five-colored fish was speechless for a while.
"Come on, come on, just let me take a bite, anyway, everything is illusory, and it won't be good to be bitten."
"Wait!" The five-colored fish yelled, "Didn't you notice that I was special?" ”
"Hmm..."The little girl looked at the smooth scales of the five-colored fish, the flexible tail, and the gills that were closed together, and rubbed her chubby little hands excitedly, "Sure enough! You're a little fatter than other fish! It must be fresh and tender, I didn't expect me to be so blessed! ”
The five-colored fish almost turned his back on it: "No! Didn't you notice that I have a five-colored tail? And I talk so well, haven't you noticed it at all? ”
"Oh, yes! You can talk. Finally reacted, "But what's the use of a good tail?" I don't eat tails......"
The five-colored fish was speechless: "I didn't tell you to eat again...... In addition to the tail, what about my good conversation? Do you also think it's useless? ”
The little girl nodded, without hesitation: "It's useless." ”
"Why?"
"Because I didn't understand a word."
