Ling Yu's words caused Sun Changhong to fall into a brief silence.

But then, Sun Changhong asked sharply: "If the people you protect treat you as a monster, drive you out of your home, and don't care about your life or death, do you still think those people should be protected?" ”

Sun Changhong stared at Ling Yu deadly, his eyes turned red, like two flames about to burn Ling Yu.

Ling Yu was a little stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

He was silent for a moment before he spoke, "It seems that you are a man with a story. ”

When a person asks this kind of question, it means that this kind of thing is most likely happening to him.

Seeing that Sun Changhong was silent, Ling Yu continued: "I guess you used to be a warm-hearted person, you should be from Niutou Village, you used to protect them, but then what happened changed you and made you a monster in everyone's mouth."

Why don't you tell me your story? ”

When a person is on the opposite side of the whole world, he desperately needs a window to confide in.

Sun Changhong was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, and the red in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"I was originally a lay disciple of Hogen Temple in Kyoto, and I returned home a month ago......"

Sun Changhong began to tell his story.

The tragic story of a hero......

A month ago, a few days after Sun Changhong returned to Niutou Village from Kyoto, a human-faced stone ape suddenly came to the village and killed several people.

Unlike other primates, the human-faced stone ape is a monster beast that eats people when hungry.

Although there are some practitioners in Niutou Village, those people are just ordinary people, and they are not the opponents of the seven-rank demon beast man and the stone ape at all.

So, Sun Changhong went up the mountain alone to search for the human-faced stone ape.

After three days and three nights of searching, Sun Changhong found the human-faced stone ape, and after a fierce battle, killed him.

He stripped the fur of the human-faced stone ape so that the villagers would know that the human-faced stone ape was dead, so that everyone could rest assured.

However, while fighting with the human-faced stone ape, he was accidentally injured.

What's even more bizarre is that three days later, his body has mutated, his whole body is red, and his hair has also turned red.

Everyone knows that this is contaminated with the blood of the human-faced stone ape, and will gradually turn into a man-eating monster.

The village was full of ordinary people, and they didn't dare to drive him away.

But there is a method called killing people.

The village chief of the village called for a huge vote.

The result can be imagined, eighty percent of the people voted for Sun Changhong to leave Niutou Village.

Wherever he goes, don't stay in the village anyway.

Sun Changhong was originally a disciple of Buddhism and upheld compassion.

He also knew what would become of him if he was contaminated by the blood of the demon beast, so he had to leave Niutou Village and come to the mountain.

Originally, he planned to make a living by hunting.

But then, the infection got worse and worse, and he became more and more like a monster.

And there is no prey in the mountains, sometimes you can't find it for days.

He could not be starved to death, so he could only put on the fur of a human-faced stone ape and go down the mountain to the village to steal some food to eat.

Just now, Sun Changhong went to that family to steal something to eat, but he just injured a kitchen worker by mistake, but he was shouted for murder.

And as time passed, Sun Changhong's demonic nature became more and more serious, and sometimes even the most basic human nature would be lost and turned into a bloodthirsty monster.

He also hated himself for being like this.

The desire to survive is an animal instinct as well as a human instinct.

He didn't want to die.

But everyone wanted him dead.

"I used to do everything to protect them, and what did I get in the end?"

The more Sun Changhong thought about it, the more sad and angry he became, his anger suddenly soared, his eyes turned red again, and he roared: "I protect them, but they want me to die, what's the difference between people and monsters, it's just another way to eat people." ”

"Aren't there two adults voting for you to stay?"

Ling Yu looked up at him and said calmly: "Those who voted for you to leave are just afraid, and it is human nature to be afraid, but despite this, there are still two adults who want you to stay, which shows that people's hearts are always kind."

Think about it from their perspective, if you were them, wouldn't you be afraid?

And those two adults still voted for you to stay in fear, how much courage did they need.

This courage is precisely the kindness in their hearts that triumphs over fear.

The eighty percent of the people who voted for you to leave were not so vicious, but simply because their good intentions had not yet overcome fear. ”

"I ......"

Sun Changhong was speechless for a while, and his red eyes became mournful.

"You are a disciple of Buddhism, you should understand the meaning of the word compassion better than me, whether it is our immortal monks or you Buddhist believers, your practice is for that merit, that good thought.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if those eight adults have no good thoughts, but for the sake of those two percent of the good people, we should also keep our hearts.

Only in this way will good thoughts sprout in people's hearts, slowly grow, and eventually defeat evil thoughts. ”

Ling Yu calmed down, and what he said was the Tao.

After a pause, he continued: "As I passed by the house, the people who were frightened by you were prostrating themselves to me.

This is their gratitude to me, and gratitude is also a kind thought.

Their kindness stems from the fact that we have repelled you, giving them a sense of security, and it is our bravery that inspires their kindness.

And their evil thoughts about you stem from their fear of you.

If you are bent on evil, the more fearful they will be, the easier it will be to arouse their evil thoughts. ”

After Ling Yu's words were finished, he looked at Sun Changhong calmly, as if waiting for his response.

He originally wanted to talk about the feat of fighting the epidemic, because it was precisely because of the good leadership of the country that it maximized the good thoughts of the Chinese people, so that the Chinese people could unite and finally defeat the epidemic.

Compare it with the country on the other side of the ocean, which is known as a beacon of democracy, because of the incompetent leadership, the epidemic is rampant, and the society is in chaos.

It is precisely because of the incompetence and ugliness of those politicians in the lighthouse country that the evil thoughts in the hearts of the people have been stimulated, which has led to a series of evil consequences in the future.

However, Ling Yu didn't feel the need to tell Sun Changhong about this, he might not understand.

After Sun Changhong heard what he said, his expression gradually calmed down.

After being silent for a long time, Sun Changhong ripped off the fur on his body and bowed to Ling Yuxing: "Amitabha, thank you for your advice." ”

Buddhism is foreign, it is a guest, and it is supposed to bow to Taoist monks and honor them as immortal friends or Taoist friends, which is a ritual since ancient times.

According to etiquette, Ling Yu should fold his hands and salute in return, calling him a mage.

[Complete the task, reward: Five-grade Gong "Mixed Yuan Celestial Phenomena", refining +10, self-healing +10.] 】

"Mage, you're welcome."

Ling Yu smiled knowingly, folded his hands and asked, "Then what are your plans in the future?" ”

"The poor monk plans to return to Baoyuan Temple, shave his ordination, devote himself to the Buddha, and purify all sentient beings."

Sun Changhong was extremely religious, the color of his skin was rapidly fading, and his red hair began to turn black.

[Give the "Guanyin Heart Sutra" to Sun Changhong and help him understand Buddhism. 】

[Reward: Five-grade martial art "Ruyi King Kong Finger", random skills, attribute points +10.] 】

The prompt appeared in front of Ling Yu's eyes again.

Practice makes perfect, and he immediately focused on clicking on the "Guanyin Heart Sutra" highlighted in blue.

"I got a scripture by chance two years ago, and I don't know the scriptures, so it's useless to keep it. Since you are dedicated to the Buddha, it is better to send you away, and it will not be in vain for you and me to get acquainted. ”

After Ling Yu finished speaking, he raised his hand and made a gesture to take something from the storage wrench.

Immediately, a piece of rice paper appeared in his hand.

What is written above is the "Guanyin Heart Sutra".

The Heart Sutra of Guanyin is not long, and the full text is only more than 200 words.

Ling Yu rubbed the paper with his fingers, it was ordinary paper.

It's amazing.

When the mind moves, you can conjure up real objects out of thin air.
