Chapter 3: Equality of All Beings

Zhang Dahu before the age of twenty was undoubtedly a typical landlord, and his only drawback was that he was a little timid.

Zhang Dahu, who is twenty years old, is undoubtedly a good person, and his only advantage is that he is too timid.

For Li Qiye, Zhang Dahu is a strange person.

Unlike other landlords, who withheld the rations and wages of short-term workers, they demanded that they must take care of the sheep.

If the sheep leaves the prescribed range, Zhang Dahu will definitely appear and be rewarded with a whip.

Although sometimes he was beaten and cried wolf, Li Qiye did not hate Zhang Dahu, because Zhang Dahu was in charge of food.

"You can eat and live."

This is the dream of seven-year-old Li Qiye.

The biggest wish is to eat a meal of braised pork.

Although he hadn't eaten it, the smell of meat made people's mouths water, and it was ironclad.

Time passes slowly, the wildflowers bloom and thank, thank you and bloom, the spring breeze blows, and the mountains and rivers do not change.

Li Qiye has herded sheep for Zhang Dahu for four years, and he is now twelve years old.

In the past four years, Li Qiye met all kinds of people, some rushed up to kill him, some came up to kidnap him, and some tempted him with food, that time was the most dangerous, Li Qiye almost agreed.

If Zhang Dahu hadn't appeared, he would have snatched the strange man away with a leather whip.

With the passage of time, there are more and more sheep in Zhang Dahu's family, and Li Qiye has limited energy and can't take care of it, so he has to be whipped from time to time.

Until a Mufeng Daoist who claimed to be the Ancestor Saint Master appeared, the Daoist was ready to accept him as an apprentice.

In an instant, Zhang Dahu was angry, this was his family's sheep herding baby, why did anyone come to rub it.

I really think I'm a big guy who can rub anything.

Holding a small leather whip, he stepped forward to theorize, and the two of them twisted from the front mountain to the halfway up the mountain, and finally fell into the quagmire.

The two fought inextricably, and in the end, it was a white-robed man who slipped over and shouted, "Host, please stay." ”

In an instant, the atmosphere became strange.

The three of them sat down and discussed, Zhang Dahu was impassioned, and the white-robed man and Mu Fengdao sometimes spit fragrantly, sometimes colluded, and had a friendly conversation, even Li Qiye, who was far away at the foot of the mountain, heard a sentence or two.

"What, merit coins, too many!"

"No more, no less! How much? Not much either. ”

"What's wrong with a little bit, what's wrong, is it expensive? This is my family's sheep herding baby! ”

"Back then, the main god space, but brother, I pulled you!"

"They are all Taoist friends of the starting point alliance, and they are angry and wealthy, and they are angry and wealthy......"

", Sanqing is a brother, and he has to settle accounts!"

…………

After intense and friendly negotiations, Li Qiye, under Zhang Dahu's arrangement, kowtowed three times and worshiped an anonymous master.

I learned a trick, and I never lost a sheep again.

For shepherds, no more sheep are the greatest wishes.

It was also on this day that Zhang Dahu gave Li Qiye a word, Muzhi, on behalf of Tianmuzhi.

Twelve-year-old Li Qiye didn't know what this meant, he only knew one thing, the sheep was not lost, and he didn't have to be beaten.

Li Qiye is not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he is afraid of Zhang Dahu's black and thick whip.

Without the restraint of the whip, it is like a bird entering the jungle, free and easy.

In those days, the sheep baby was so beautiful that she was smirking all day long.

Seeing this, Zhang Dahu said leisurely: "Sometimes, ignorance is also a kind of happiness. ”

People can be ignorant, but they can't be ignorant all the time, happiness is short-lived, and tribulation is eternal.

On this day, Zhang Dahu came to Houshan to inspect the sheep and asked Li Qiye a question.

"What happens if the sky falls?!"

Thirteen-year-old Li Qiye said without thinking: "When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top. ”

Zhang Dahu shook his head and said with a smile: "This sentence was right a long time ago. ”

"But, since a tall man said a word, things have changed."

Li Qiye asked in a daze, "What words?" ”

Zhang Dahu said slowly: "The tall man said that all beings are equal. ”

"All beings are equal?"

Li Qiye pondered this sentence, thinking of two questions in his mind, who are the living beings? Why should we be equal?

Sure enough, if Li Qiye has read the book, he will know that sentient beings refer to all people, and Li Qiye is also one of the sentient beings.

If Li Qiye had read the Buddhist scriptures, he would have known that the equality of all beings would derive a sentence, that all beings have Buddha nature.

As Rulai said: "All sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Buddha, but they cannot attain it because of delusion and attachment." ”

If it can be broken, even a robot cat can prove it, and an Ultraman also has the Buddha's fruition.

And if you want to prove it, you must first go through hundreds, thousands, thousands, billions, trillions, constant sand, inconceivable, and countless calamities.

It's a pity, it's a pity, the current Li Qiye is a shepherd boy, and his job is to shepherd sheep for Zhang Dahu.

Even more tragic was that on the second day, a sheep was lost.

This is the first time Li Qiye has lost a sheep after comprehending the magic skill of finding sheep.

"Don't look at me as just a sheep, the green grass becomes more fragrant because of me, the sky becomes bluer because of me, and the white clouds become soft because I ......"

Cheerful singing echoes in the silent mountains.

Li Qiye anxiously performed the magic skill of finding sheep, and his forehead was full of sweat.

This has never happened before, and in the past, as soon as the song sounded, the sheep would obediently return on their own, and the lost sheep would find their way along the song.

Li Qiye climbed up the hillside, the cold wind was blowing, his body was cold, and the night was terrible, but Li Qiye's heart was anxious.

The lost sheep is the leader of the flock, and Zhang Dahu named it Hope, which is the most important.

If you lose it......

Thinking of Zhang Dahu's black and thick whip, Li Qiye couldn't help but snort.

Immediately afterwards, he performed another sheep hunting technique to try to find the sheep.

Go, go.

I don't know how long I walked, Li Qiye saw a big hole in the distance, and he was terrified, and he couldn't help but think of the local legend - Fairy Demon Cave.

It is said that none of the people who entered the Immortal Demon Cave, whether it was a human, a beast, or anything else, could come out alive.

Standing in front of the cave and fearful, Li Qiye hesitated.

On one side is the sound of Zhang Dahu's crackling leather whip, and on the other side is the demon cave of local legends.

In the end, the fear of the whip triumphed over the unknown demon.

Li Qiye stepped into it, and a deep and gloomy voice sounded: "Good, good, good, the yin crow has been completed, and there is a lack of soul." ”

"Ah!!h

…………

I don't know how long it was, maybe a long time, but also a moment.

A crow-like strange bird flew out of the Immortal Demon Cave, flew to the Nine Realms, flew to the burial soil, and flew to the Immortal City

Outside the Immortal Demon Cave, Zhang Dahu stood with a whip and said with a smile: "All beings are equal, you are, I am, and so is he." ”

"A new cycle is born, and the wheels of history roll forward."
