Chapter 57: There is a demonic spirit
The "Light of the Righteous Path" suddenly lit up from the back of Tang Sanzang's head, and it lit up in this mountain, its light was not strong, let alone dazzling.
However, this light, which was only a few degrees stronger than the moonlight, seemed to shine into the hearts of the monks.
Grumpy, greedy, arrogant......
Just as the impure thoughts of Princess Gaoyang were expelled at that time, most of the negative emotions of the monks were temporarily dispelled.
And the white-clothed monk with his palms folded and his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered, under the backdrop of this burst of light, he did not look like an ordinary person, as if a Buddha had descended into the world.
"Idiot, why don't you wake up?"
Tang Sanzang opened his lips and teeth lightly, and a soft voice sounded, but when it came to the ears of the monks, it was like a dusk drum and a morning bell, making their spirits clear.
"I, the monks, should be worthy of heaven and earth, and bow down to all sentient beings, why do we hold guns and knives in our hands and want to do this robbery?"
"And touch the scar on the top of the head, and look at the monk's robe on the body, is this kind of behavior in line with the rules and precepts?"
As soon as these words came out, it seemed to resonate in the hearts of the monks, so that the monks couldn't help but show shame, and the swords, guns, and sticks that were tightly held in their hands and pointed at Tang Sanzang couldn't help but hang down, and they didn't dare to aim at this holy monk like a Buddha.
How could such a person, such a holy monk, do something like stealing? How can you break the precepts of Buddhism?
The hearts of the monks were shaken by Elder Jinchi's statement.
"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot......"
With Tang Sanzang's soft groan, the palms of the monks holding the weapons subconsciously relaxed.
"Bang...... Bang......"
The sound of a series of weapons falling to the ground sounded one after another, and the free hands of the monks were folded in front of their chests, and they looked at the holy monk Tang Sanzang in the center with ashamed faces.
"Holy monk Dade, fortunately I have to mention something, which makes me wake up to my senses!" Immediately, there was a bit of chaos among the monks.
Tang Sanzang nodded slightly, and after pronouncing the Buddha's name, he asked. "Amitabha, poor monk and ask you, why do you want to commit murder late at night?"
In the face of Tang Sanzang, who was like a Buddha at this moment, making them impressed and respected from the bottom of their hearts, the monks did not dare to hide it, and the Guangzhi monk led by him even told everything and sold Elder Jinchi completely.
Tang Sanzang pondered for a while, maintaining the state of "Light of the Righteous Path", and then said. "Wait, have you ever committed a major precept such as wounding and killing people in the past?"
As soon as these words came out, under the illumination of the "light of the righteous path", among the monks who maintained a clear mentality, headed by the monk Guangzhi, more than ten monks immediately appeared ashamed on their faces, and silently lined up, just like in the past to Guanyin, kneeling and bowing to Tang Sanzang, and said ashamedly.
"We have hurt people, but we have not harmed the lives of others, please enlighten the holy monks."
"Why do you hurt people?"
"The host of Jinchi has an order, and he doesn't dare to disobey."
"It was also passers-by who passed by the Guanyin Monastery that Elder Jinchi fell in love with other people's treasures?" Tang Sanzang asked again.
"Yes, in the past, we were also armed with guns, knives and sticks, intimidating and threatening, forcing the other party to comply, and forcibly subduing the other party when they met someone who did not comply, but they did not harm people's lives."
Tang Sanzang's eyes swept away, knowing that their answers did not seem to be fake, and spoke. "If you harm someone's life, you will naturally repay it with cause and effect, but if it is just a violation of the precepts......
Speaking of this, Tang Sanzang paused and fell into thought.
The "light of the right path" is not the ability to forcibly distort the minds of others, but it is only the ability to expel those negative thoughts to a certain extent and reveal the pure nature of true goodness.
However, it is only an expulsion, not a permanent change.
In other words, don't look at these monks who sincerely repent now, but maybe they will turn their heads and work for half a day, and the old state will sprout again.
However, in the final analysis, these monks are not guilty of death, Tang Sanzang is not an indiscriminate murderer, he is also an ordinary man, and Tang Sanzang is not arrogant enough to judge them.
After thinking for a long time, Tang Sanzang pronounced the Buddha's name and spoke.
"If you sincerely repent, listen to the chanting of the poor monks, keep it in mind, and recite it often, keep the spiritual platform clear, and prevent the invasion of evil thoughts, I hope that you will do more good deeds and many good results in the future to repay karma."
"Yes...... Holy Monk ......"
As Tang Sanzang sat down cross-legged, many monks around him also sat cross-legged, staring at Tang Sanzang intently.
"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks deep in Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering......
"Relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color......"
Bursts of Sanskrit sound entered the ears, and the monks listened to it as if they were fascinated, and in the hazy consciousness, they felt that their hearts had been cleansed.
The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra is not a collection of books in the temple where Tang Sanzang practiced, but was written silently by Tang Sanzang according to his own memories.
After all, as a monk, memorizing scriptures can be regarded as a basic homework, so in order to avoid trouble, Tang Sanzang personally wrote a book and often carried it with him.
It's just that, gradually, Tang Sanzang found that this "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" has all kinds of strange effects, not to mention that many monsters can be overwhelmed in Shuangjialing at that time, and ordinary recitation is also very beneficial to his own mental state.
Therefore, Tang Sanzang did not have the idea of hiding his own secrets, and he spread this "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" to many monks, so as not to return to the state of ghosts and confusion.
However, at this moment, a gust of black wind swept in, and an uninvited guest arrived.
"Brother Jin Chi, this is that Tang Sanzang?"
Out of caution, the black bear spirit, who stayed outside the illumination range of the "Light of the Righteous Path", asked with some fear. "In this situation, why doesn't it look like an ordinary monk?"
And Elder Jin Chi stared at Tang Sanzang, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, exuding bursts of light, surrounded by a large number of monks, with his cloudy eyes open, as if he was teaching the Fa, and his heart instinctively tightened.
It's just that the matter has come to this point, and Elder Jinchi, who has no way out, spoke without the slightest hesitation.
"King, it turns out that Tang Sanzang is a demon monk, no wonder he wants to take away the brocade robe of the old man, and now I am afraid that he is using some kind of demon magic to try to turn the monks into puppets."
"It's so hateful?!" A hint of suspicion flashed in the black bear's thoughts, but under the preconceived notions, he still instinctively believed Elder Jinchi's words.
The next moment, the black bear spirit put down Elder Jinchi and rushed straight towards Tang Sanzang like some reckless beast.
At the same time, at the moment when the black bear spirit approached the mountain, there was ambergris on his mouth, and Ao Yu, who was sleeping sweetly, instinctively wrinkled his nose, as if he was sniffing something......
"Demonic spirit?!" Ao Yu suddenly opened his big round eyes, instinctively wanting to find Tang Sanzang's figure.
"What about the holy monk?"
