Chapter 12: The Way of All Beings
"What? Are you going to keep stopping me? ”
Lu Fengqiu looked at Yang Jian with a three-point smile on his face.
At his level, his thoughts spread all over the heavens and all the worlds, and he already had enough strength to look down on all the gods and Buddhas.
If it was a long time ago, he might have thought about teaching Yang Jian a lesson because of Yang Jian's words, but now, he was no longer in that mood.
Stepping on an ant is no different from stepping on a swarm of ants, and it doesn't make things any easier or fun.
Buddhists say that sweeping the floor is afraid of hurting the lives of ants.
From a human point of view, ants are incomparably weak, and people are at the top of the food chain, so what people think is actually not important to ants.
Because, even if this person does not step on the ants, there will always be another person who will step on them.
Whether it is a human being, a god or a Buddha, when your strength is far greater than that of other life species, it is inevitable that you will look down on all living beings with a lofty attitude.
The saint is ruthless, and the saint is selfless, because the saint will treat all things equally.
This is the truth that the saint realized from the way of heaven.
Of course, this does not apply to all saints, or rather, it is a universal macro point of view.
But when it comes to a specific thing, a certain person, the saint also has a private interest.
People are far and near.
The same is true of the gods and Buddhas.
The same is true of saints.
As long as it is not the true will of the Heavenly Dao, there will always be such and such selfishness at work.
It is impossible to be absolutely equal.
The equality of all beings is a false concept in itself.
No matter what kind of world it is, there can be no absolute equality, only relative equality.
For example, if Lu Xiaohua did something wrong now, maybe he killed an innocent person, would Lu Fengqiu execute Lu Xiaohua according to the rule of killing to pay for his life?
Lu Fengqiu couldn't do such a thing, compared to strangers, Lu Xiaohua was a partner who had accompanied him for countless years.
In a sense, Lu Fengqiu's path to enlightenment has some credit from Lu Xiaohua.
It is impossible for Lu Fengqiu to follow the rule of killing people for the sake of a stranger.
The most Lu Fengqiu can do is to punish Lu Xiaohua and teach her a lesson.
This is selfishness.
A long time ago, Lu Fengqiu understood this truth, people who don't love themselves, what do you talk about loving sentient beings, because of selfishness, there is justice.
The public is selfless, and there is no real public selflessness in the world.
To be too selfless to others is to be selfish to yourself and to your loved ones.
Before big love, do a good job of small love.
Before being selfless, be self-sufficient.
If everyone can do a good job of themselves, why should others give selflessly?
In the vast world, there are all living beings, and there may really be people who can give up everything for others, including their wives and children.
But in Lu Fengqiu's view, he was just a fool kidnapped by moral concepts and universal laws.
The public of the saint and the private interest of the saint are two completely different principles, but they have something in common.
Power can pursue the extreme, but the Tao cannot pursue the extreme, the ultimate means the extreme, and the road will become narrower and narrower.
The avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and the one who has escaped.
Since Lu Fengqiu became a saint, he has become more and more proficient in the application of laws and rules, but his thinking has become simpler and simpler.
The road to simplicity may be because of a sentence, a person, or a flower, a grass, will make him have a new understanding.
In fact, whether it is pity or anger, for ants, these things do not matter.
Whether it is ants, people, gods and Buddhas, all living beings must find their own position.
What can be done at this stage of oneself, and what can not be done at this stage of oneself.
Have an accurate understanding of your own strength.
If you don't recognize yourself, you may die a miserable death.
Only with strength can you do whatever you want.
If you don't have the strength, no matter if you are Sun Monkey or Yang Erlang, you have to lie down, and you have to get out.
This is the simplest Heavenly Dao Law.
Yang Jian may understand this truth very well now.
I saw Yang Jian suddenly clasp his fists and bow towards Lu Fengqiu and said, "Gibbon monkey, you're right, maybe I should really go and split Taoshan to save my mother." ”
Yang Jian's attitude suddenly changed three hundred and sixty degrees, which made the roaring dogs on the side stunned.
"Zhenjun, you ......"
The Howling Sky Dog looked puzzled.
Yang Jian looked at Lu Fengqiu and said, "Gibbon monkey, although I didn't know what happened in the Guanghan Palace just now. ”
"But when I saw you, I knew you were more terrible than the legend said you were."
"I should thank you for the tip."
"If my mother is gone, won't all my efforts be in vain?"
Lu Fengqiu bowed slightly, and said, "It seems that you are already planning to go down to the Heavenly Realm?" ”
Yang Jian glanced at the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons beside Lu Fengqiu, and said vigilantly: "Gibbon monkey, don't worry, although I have figured it out, I will definitely not join the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom." ”
"Don't try to win me over."
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he smiled and said, "Who said that I want to win you over to join the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, where do you like to go, what does it matter to me." ”
"Although you Erlang God is the god of war in the heavenly court, in my eyes, you are just a poor child."
"You have your mission, if you don't want to break it yourself, how can you let others break it for you."
"You can get to where you are today, you think it is your own choice, but in fact, every choice you make is someone else's influence on you."
"Whether it was when you were punished by the Jade Emperor to accumulate 100,000 merits, or now you are determined to go out of the heavenly court."
"None of your choice."
"It's someone else who is making the choice for you."
"Maybe a thousand years ago, you were still a child, but a thousand years later, why are you still so pedantic."
"You know that your mother-in-law stays in Momoyama and may die soon, but you are still trying to accumulate merit and try to use 100,000 merits to save your mother-in-law."
"Don't you think you're pedantic?"
"It's not the peach mountain that you're going to split, it's the mountain in your heart."
"Challenging the rules may fail, but if the cost of failure is bearable, then the challenge is worth it."
"If I were you, I would have split that mountain long ago."
"Instead of grinding and chirping here, chirping like a."
Lu Fengqiu's words made Yang Jian's heart move.
Yang Jian glanced at Lu Fengqiu and said, "Gibbon monkey, it seems that you are even more terrifying than I imagined." ”
"Today, I, Yang Jian, have been taught."
"Howling dog, let's go."
As the words fell, Yang Jian hugged his fist towards Lu Fengqiu again, and then disappeared into the heavenly realm.
Those heavenly soldiers and generals looked at each other, and the main generals were gone, so they naturally had no reason to stay here, so the swarms also fled one after another.
At this time, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons asked Lu Fengqiu, "General, are you very familiar with Yang Jian?" ”
Lu Fengqiu shook his head and said, "The first time we met, of course I didn't know each other. ”
The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons looked puzzled and said, "Then why would he listen to the general?" ”
"As far as I know, Yang Jian is a rare warrior in the Heavenly Court, and he has always been jealous and hateful."
Lu Fengqiu smiled, looked at the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, and said, "Why, even you think you are evil?" ”
The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons shook her head and said, "Of course not, it's just that, General, you also know that among the three realms, the Heavenly Court and the Buddha Realm represent justice. ”
"And we demons are evil in their eyes."
"Of course, I admit that some of my demon kings have done some evil things, but for demons, whether it is eating people or harming people, what's wrong? It's just that now it's a world of humanity and prosperity. ”
Lu Fengqiu glanced at the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, couldn't help but bow slightly, and said secretly: "It seems that the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons can achieve this position, and she does have some ability." ”
"It's good that you can think of this layer."
Lu Fengqiu said to the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons.
Lu Fengqiu hadn't learned much about the mind of the Ten Thousand Demon Queen before, and in the past, Lu Fengqiu thought that the Ten Thousand Demon Queen had come to this position today, and there might be more coincidences.
It's more because she swallowed the Ten Thousand Year Snake Pill, but now it seems that the Ten Thousand Demon Queen's Dao Heart is not bad, and it has risen to the perspective of the living soul level.
That's right, if you rely on the Ten Thousand Year Snake Pill alone, you may not be able to suppress the ten thousand demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.
Lu Fengqiu continued: "Yang Jian didn't listen to me, but I happened to know some of his past, so I just reminded him. ”
"My words are just a catalyst."
The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons frowned and said, "General, you just said that Yang Jian's every choice was involuntarily, could it be that there is any hidden story in him?" ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "Sort of, everyone has their own story, you look at the three worlds, the sun, the moon and the stars, which one is not upright." ”
"If there is no sun, no moon, no earth, wind and water and fire in this world, then there will be no life in this world."
"With these natural factors, all living beings are born."
"Most of the creatures grow savagely, ordinary, no one will notice his life and death, no one will notice his joys, sorrows, sorrows."
"Because it's ordinary, no one pays attention."
"It doesn't matter if it's a grass, or an ant, or a little demon, or a mortal."
"Many living beings in this world are actually a speck of dust in the operation of the Three Realms, extremely ordinary and insignificant."
"But there are also many creatures in this world, destined to be born extraordinary."
"Doomed to fate."
"How extraordinary it is, how many shackles are waiting for him."
"Ordinary beings have stories of ordinary creatures, and the extraordinary have stories of extraordinary people."
"Whether it's Erlang God Yang Jian, or Monkey King."
"Or Zhu Bajie, it's like this."
"All living beings have their own stories."
"The stronger the strength, the stronger the shackles, Yang Jian is like this, and so is Sun Wukong."
"Even I used to be."
"Because it's ordinary, it's fragile."
"Because it's fragile, it's up."
"But the heart of the strong is not something that all living beings can have, and on the road to becoming stronger, there will be all kinds of crises."
"The Tao is endless, you can't stop a step, you can't stop for a moment."
Lu Fengqiu said with a little emotion.
The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons felt a sense of vicissitudes from Lu Fengqiu's words, as if the general had experienced a lot of things that she didn't know.
This made the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons feel a little strange, and the Divine Monkey General in her impression would never say these words that sounded very profound.
The Divine Monkey General is dedicated to goodness, only doing merit and good deeds, and never mentions these things.
"General, I don't think I know you as well as I used to......"
The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons was a little lost.
Lu Fengqiu looked at the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, smiled, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "In this world, nothing is set in stone. ”
"What's more, it's you and me."
In fact, Lu Fengqiu still has something to say, which represents Lu Fengqiu's attitude and opinion, is there really a true love in this world that has remained unchanged for tens of millions of years and hundreds of millions of years?
He was skeptical, believing that someone would sacrifice their lives for their lovers.
But he didn't believe that in the long and dull, long and endless years, there would be Taoist couples who could continue to be sweet.
People want to believe that there are beautiful fairy tales and love stories in this world, but stories are just stories after all.
A person's life is very short, and there are still so many people who betray their lovers, not to mention Taoist couples who have been with each other for thousands of years or 10,000 years?
The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons was a little panicked and said, "General, you won't leave me." ”
"General, my love for you will never change, you have to believe me."
Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "I believe you are." ”
The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons was still a little uneasy in her heart, and she felt that her current self seemed to be unable to keep up with the general's footsteps.
The general's thoughts, she couldn't guess, she felt that she should do something, she didn't want to be a burden to the general, she wanted to be a virtuous helper, and when the general needed her, she would do everything she could.
"General, can you teach me supernatural powers?"
The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons looked at Lu Fengqiu.
The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons saw with her own eyes that the Jade Emperor had gone from being invincible at the beginning, and then disappeared in a few words.
It can be seen that the current general has supernatural powers.
Even the Jade Emperor has cultivated for an unknown number of eons like this, and the unfathomable giants of the Three Realms may not be the opponent of the Great General.
Lu Fengqiu nodded with a smile and said, "If you want to learn, I'll teach, it's nothing." ”
The Ten Thousand Demon Queen nodded happily and snuggled in Lu Fengqiu's arms, feeling better again.
Zhu Bajie, who was standing behind the two, saw this scene, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
Zhu Bajie already knew that Chang'e was likely to be an incarnation of the Jade Emperor, and although he was angry in his heart, he was also bitter.
I can only scold the Jade Emperor in my heart for being raised by a son of a bitch.
Not only played with his feelings, but also with his flesh!
The most important thing is that he is still in a hurry to let people play with it, and go back to the past.
Zhu Bajie only felt that he was embarrassed and embarrassed.
He couldn't help but raise a middle finger towards the Guanghan Palace behind him.
At this time, Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "Zhu Bajie, are you very dissatisfied with the Jade Emperor in your heart?" ”
When Zhu Bajie heard this, he was startled, looked at Lu Fengqiu and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled: "I don't want to do anything, I have made you realize the truth of this cruel fact, shouldn't you do something?" ”
Zhu Bajie immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, no, my old pig will not be like you, my old pig has thin skin, although it is not as smooth and tender as the master's meat, but my old pig does not want to become a roast suckling pig." ”
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he smiled, this dead fat pig is really afraid of death.
But yes, all living beings in this world have their own ways of survival.
Some people follow the path of courage, while others follow the path of Gou.
Cowardice is not a bad thing, maybe it will become stronger if you stick to it.
He was able to encourage Yang Jian to split the mountain to save his mother, because Yang Jian still had a bit of wildness in his bones, which was originally what he would do.
But Zhu Bajie can't do it, this guy has no wildness, he can go back to the past and rebel against Heaven, that's because he thought Chang'e was pregnant with his child, and now he is alone, only pig nature, no wildness, what is pig nature, is to eat and wait for death.
Perhaps this is the way of all beings.
Lu Fengqiu felt something in his heart, as if he had penetrated something, but it seemed that there was still a veil and it had not been pierced.
At this time, Lu Fengqiu said to the Ten Thousand Demon Queen, "Don't you want to know what Yang Jian's story is?" ”
"Let's go, let's go and have a look."
