It is said that it is the demon realm, but in fact, the demon has no realm, they are everywhere......"

The toad sighed softly, "Actually, they are our desires, hatreds, and greed......

"Yes, so their power is only God. ”

Fufeng's face was complicated, "I once heard a story, saying that there is a monk who has attained the Tao, in order to understand the suffering of the world, is to travel all over the world, eat hundreds of meals, wear hundreds of clothes, and everywhere he goes, he preaches the scriptures and teachings, preaches Buddhism, and advises the world to let go of greed and hatred.

At that time, when wars broke out, this senior monk felt that he had the responsibility to save the common people and restore peace to the world, so he worked hard to persuade the people of the world and overcome the suffering of the world......

Later, I don't know what happened, but some people said that after learning about the monk's ambition, a monster came in the form of a woman, pretending to be miserable, and won pity.

The monk opened his eyes early and knew that this was a thing of the devil's way, but because he was confident that he could transform this demon, he pretended not to know, and did good deeds as usual every day, preaching the scriptures and sayings, which was no different from usual.

The monster is also a little Taoist, but not in a hurry, and acting, after a long time, there are really some signs of being ignited, the demonic energy gradually subsided, and even did good, the monk saw it, and comforted his heart, and felt that there was no unacceptable person in the world, so he opened his heart to it, and every time he was confused, he would say it.

All things are divided into yin and yang, Buddhism also talks about dialectic, and the monks discuss with them, the original intention is just to understand how desire and greed are born, but who knows that day and night are opposite, and they gradually develop feelings for the woman who is transformed into a monster.

The monster is also a means, and I don't know what the details are, how to hide its demonic energy, but one day, the monster actually made the monk break the color ring, and the monk woke up with remorse, and was angry and self-defeating......"

Miao Miao's eyelids jumped when she heard this, "I know it's a monster or ......."

Fufeng smiled, "Even if it's a stone, if you hold it for a long time, you will feel emotional, don't you say, toad?"

The toad was silent, remembering the formation that had imprisoned him for thousands of years, and a strange feeling arose in his heart, because sometimes he even felt nostalgic.

After thinking about it, he sighed lightly: "Yes, a stone has become a habit after holding it for a long time, like a part of your body, although the stone is a dead thing, but when you get used to it, if you take it away, you will feel lost and painful......"

"It's a pity ......"

Miao Miao sighed, "So, the biggest enemy has always been yourself?"

"The story isn't over yet, so let me continue. ”

Fufeng said: "Later, there was a legend that after the monk cut himself, he was imprisoned in the underworld for committing the precepts, and ordered him to copy the scriptures in the dark every day, often copying the scriptures so that his eyes bleed, but the scriptures could not be copied completely, and his heart was full of resentment, and his hatred for the monster came like this......

I don't know how many years I have been in the underworld, one day the sentence is completed, it is reincarnation, although there is no memory, but the hatred has been deeply rooted in the bones, it has become an obsession, five years old into the Tao, 92 years old Jin Dan, 157 years old into a baby, 203 years old into a god, the future is bright, but at this moment, he suddenly fell into the devil, committed to that monster, and in this life, he is a daughter ......"

Miao Miao was a little confused, "Didn't you say that the demon is invisible, what?"

"There is more demonic energy, and it can condense entities. ”

Fufeng said: "If the demonic qi is mostly composed of men's resentment, it will show the body of a man, and there will be many men's desires and hopes." It's ridiculous to say that the monster lured the monk to break the precepts, and what he wanted was a man.

The monk reincarnated and met with him, and the monk awakened all his memories at the moment he met him, that is, he went to the right path, committed himself to the devil, and used the same means as the monster back then, and finally killed him. ”

"It's fair to report back and report. Miao Miao sighed: "Effect is a cycle of cause and effect, who can escape this entanglement? Demons and gods do not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but they cannot escape the power of cause and effect......

After a pause, he said, "What happened to the monk later?"

"Enchanted. ”

Fu Feng said softly: "Even if he kills the monster, but the resentment in his heart is still difficult to settle, a generation of grandmasters, committed to the devil, from being admired by the world to being spurned by the world, how can this resent......ment be calmed?

Miao Miao's body trembled, and her eyes showed disbelief, "This, this is the origin of the Demon Venerable?"

"Legend has it that it is. ”

The toad leaned against the stone wall, closed his eyes, and said, "This legend is only known to us old fellows. It is said that before this, although there were demonic qi, there were also some demonic qi that could cultivate entities, but the power was not strong. Because the demonic energy is invisible, if you have to describe it, it is almost the same as our consciousness. What is consciousness? It can be gathered or dissipated, so demonic energy is something similar......

Until then, these things had been difficult to form a scale until his appearance. It is also interesting to say, Buddhism was not called Buddhism before this, the practice of this vein originated from the extreme west, and did not become a Taoist system, but just a little bit of understanding of the ancients, although they can also practice, but because of a lot of internal controversy, it has not been able to form a school of its own.

And just after the Demon Venerable said those words, the sky changed greatly, the world suddenly lost light, and it poured rain, day and night, and some people said that they were the tears of God, lamenting that the world will suffer endlessly, and there will be no more day......

But at this moment, a baby was born, and a cry actually blew away the haze for days, and this man ......"

Miao Miao's eyes showed shock, "This, how is this possible?!" You, you mean this baby is, is it ......?"

"Yes, it is the saint who has attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree!"

"W-how is this possible?

Miao Miao's thoughts were a little confused, "Are you saying that there was a Demon Venerable before there was a Buddha Venerable? No, no, isn't that Demon Venerable also a cultivator? Regardless of whether the Buddhist family became a faction at that time, it is always right for the Buddhist family to come from this, right? So it is said that the Demon Venerable was a member of the Buddha family first, and finally became a demon, and at that time, the Buddha Venerable came? Why do I feel a little confused? Is there a Buddha or a demon first?"

"Are you good or evil?"

Wu Qionghua suddenly said: "Big tree, are you good or evil?"

"Me?"

Miao Miao thought for a moment, her face was a little red, "Big, it's probably good, right?"

"But you're greedy for money, is that good or bad?"

"Well, I didn't take any ill-gotten gains. ”

She muttered quietly, "Besides, I'm also here to cultivate." ”

"Isn't it a desire to accumulate wealth for cultivation?"

"This ......"

"Why do you desperately want good things when you're already rich?

"This ......"

"So is greed good or bad?"

"Big, probably bad......"

"Then the question is, are you good or bad?"

"Hey, flowers, you're finding faults, where can a person use the word good or bad?"

"Big tree, don't you understand? Demons are Buddhas, and Buddhas are also demons, just like me and you, we have a pure side, but we also have a greedy and selfish side, if the pure side of our nature is our Buddha nature, then isn't greed and selfishness the side of our demons?"

"All living beings have Buddha nature......

Miao Miao muttered, "There is also a demonic ......"

That's why we have to seek truth from falsehood. ”

Wu Qionghua concluded: "I am by your side, and when I listen to you study those Buddhist scriptures, I also have some feelings, thinking that good is a Buddha, and a thought of evil is a demon...... If our demonic nature does not go, we will never become Buddhas. ”

Xiaohua said yes. ”

Fufeng smiled bitterly, "Actually, the so-called devil is ourselves. ”

After a pause, he said: "Although this story is a legend, it is profound. Big tree, if you ask for the Great Dao, you must think about this story. If you can attain enlightenment overnight, it will be like a quiet moon and soar at night. ”

"One thought of heaven, one thought of hell......"

Miao Miao seemed to be a little stupid, and muttered repeatedly, "So...... Can one thought become a Buddha, and one thought can also become a demon?"

"Where there is yin, there is yang, although the Taoism is different, but the truth of the world is the same. ”

Fufeng said: "The five elements of yin and yang, the reincarnation of heaven and earth are all supreme principles, this will not become." No matter which one you cultivate, even if it is not the right path at all, you will not be able to escape the shackles of this eight-character rule. ”

"Will there be shadows where the sun casts?"

Miao Miao smiled bitterly, "Perhaps, that Demon Venerable also thought about this problem, maybe he thought that in this way, he would extinguish this beauty, extinguish this sunshine, and let everyone fall into darkness forever, with nowhere to come and nowhere to go...... Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic......"

After a slight pause, his eyes changed suddenly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "It's also hateful!"

"He worships power, dedicates himself completely to the manipulation of desires, how can he care about the life and death of the world?

The toad said softly: "If he can think of it, he will not be called Demon Venerable, and there will be no human catastrophe ten thousand years ago." ”

"Then why didn't God come down and stop him?"

Miao Miao suddenly said with some sadness: "Our ancestors are all immortals, but they also paid a great price in exchange for peace, if according to your words, this Demon Venerable will not die at all, even if it is eliminated now, but as long as our desire is not extinguished, one day he will gather again......"

"Although God's power is boundless, it cannot extinguish the desires in the hearts of all beings. ”

Fufeng sighed lightly, "You have read so many Buddhist scriptures and manuscripts of the sages in the Futu Pagoda, you should understand what it means to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."

Whether it is a god or a Buddha, they are actually people who have let go of their desires and hatreds, and if they do not cross it, they will be imprisoned in the sea of suffering, and they will never be able to escape from ......."

Miao Miao was silent, looked at Fufeng for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "So...... If there is only light left in the world, isn't the theory of yin and yang not valid?"

"This ......"

Fu Feng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a strange thought rose in his heart: Yes, if according to the principle of yin and yang, if there is no evil, where can it be manifested from good? If there is no evil, it will not be good, then it will not become nothingness?

Selflessness......

His body shook violently, his eyes were shocked, could this be the truth that the saint had realized? Only nothingness, demons can be destroyed?
