Chapter 50: The Rakshasa Trail
I don't know that the customs of the Asura realm are different from those of our yang realm, but from his Mandarin and the details of his conversation, it is not difficult to find that it should be similar.
Then this Midra is a bit excessive, and he has not shown any kindness at all from the beginning to the present.
As the saying goes, pour seven points full of tea, and leave three points for favors.
Since ancient times, wine is full of respect, and tea is full of deception. This is because the wine is cold and full of heartfelt enthusiasm. The tea is hot, and you can pinch the mouth of the cup when it is full, but if it is full, you can't take it at all, which is equivalent to issuing an eviction order.
In particular, he used the water from the tea set to make tea, and he also stirred it in it with his hands, which was obviously disgusting to me. He didn't drink it himself, but he looked at me, and I didn't believe it would be like this, even if there was a big difference in customs.

"Why doesn't the good man drink it?" Midra asked me with a strange smile.
Why don't you tell me why I don't drink it, you've lost your paws, why do you let me drink it?
"My master taught me not only spiritual practice, but also upbringing. You are the Lord and I am the guest, and you can't take the host! I said with a bad face, in fact, I could have said more ugly, but I held back.
Wait a little longer, Chang Wanfa will come, there is no need to conflict with him. Besides, my words have already turned against him, and I will drink him if he drinks, and if he doesn't let me drink himself, that is, he is uneducated.
I thought that this was the end of the stubble, but I didn't expect him to pour himself a glass with a blank face, then drank it all, and finally put the teacup on the table and looked at me.
His grandmother's, the words are all out, and he can't drink it.
I grabbed the teacup with a blank face, and then poured it down with a tilt of my neck. Fortunately, I am in the state of my soul now, and this little temperature will not burn me.
Midra smiled and poured me another glass, still as full as it had just been.
He's consuming it with me, anyway, one cup is drinking, and two drinks are also drinking. There is only so much water in the pot, what can you do if you drink it all? So I took the cup and drank it again.
Midra looked at me and filled it again. I drank it all again, and then looked at him, meaning that if you pour it, I will drink it, and Lao Tzu will accompany me.
Unexpectedly, he put the teapot on the table and laughed.
I actually felt a little pity for him in my heart, and said that the entertainment life of the beings of the Asura Path was too poor, didn't he just force me to drink three cups of tea, as for being happy like this? In our yang realm, elementary school students are all free from such low-level interests.
After laughing for a long time, he slapped the table and shouted: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a disciple of the sixth master, and there are two hits!" ”
"What do you mean?" I asked with a cold face, this time I was really unhappy. He can laugh at me because I can only represent myself, but if he dares to say that I am Master, it will be two different things, and I can't lose the face of my family.
"Good man, don't get me wrong, Dhara apologizes!" He said, stood up, hugged two casserole-sized fists, and bowed to me.
I was confused by his play, I don't know what he's playing, but I don't want to hit the smiling person, I can smile back, but I didn't speak, I'm afraid that this capricious goods will make things difficult for me for a while.
When he saw me like this, he smiled and said, "Good man, don't be confused, it was the Bodhisattva who entrusted me to accept you here, and it was the Bodhisattva who asked me to test whether you are firm or not, so don't blame me!" ”

Hearing him say this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked him depressedly, "Then how did you try?" ”
"A good man's heart is like a rock, I deceived you three times with full tea, and you drank it all three times, it can be seen that you are full of wisdom and wisdom, and you will definitely be able to regain the dragon qi!" Midra said with satisfaction.
I was speechless, and I said that I was angry with him just now, and I didn't expect him to be wrong.
Since he was sent by the Bodhisattva, he must have known the Bodhisattva, so I asked him, "Lord Dhara, can you tell me what the name of that Bodhisattva is?" ”
"Adults don't dare to be, just now it was a last resort, just call me Dhara." He shook his head with a wry smile, and then said to me, "It's the Bodhisattva of Diligence!" ”
I was stunned, diligent in propagating the Dharma? This should be a great wish and an act, but it is the name of a bodhisattva? I have long heard of the eighty-eight Buddhas and boundless bodhisattvas in the world of sampa.
I used to think it was a false finger, because the Buddhist scriptures say, "All living beings are bodhisattvas, and ordinary people are only one of me" means that everyone I meet is not for nothing.
All I know are bodhisattvas who make up for their lives like King Jizo Bodhisattva and Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. Now it seems that there are countless bodhisattvas, and this bodhisattva who has reached the realm of invincibility, but this is the first time I have heard of it.
Seeing that I was stunned, Midra stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Good man, please sit." ”
"O'O." I nodded, and sat back down on the stone chair.
Sure enough, Midra changed his attitude and began to explain the current situation to me.
He said that the Asura Realm was much larger than the Yang Realm, but the reality was still very different from the rumors we had heard.
The Asura Realm is not limited to the Asura Race, just as there are also humane and animal beings in the Yang Realm. Asuras, Yakshas, Gandharvas, Kinara, Garudas, Makhurajas, and the Eight Divisions are all in the Asura Realm, except for the Celestial Beings and the Naga Beings.
He said that the woman I saw just now was Gandharva, but in fact, the asura tribe is called an asura for men, and the woman is a Gandharva.
No wonder it is born with a charming state, Gandapo is the legendary god of music, in the Dunhuang murals, those flying fairies holding pipa and Xiao, the painting is Gandapo.
He told me that first of all, the status of kinara, garuda, and so on in the asura realm is equivalent to the animal path in the yang realm. It's not a human python head, or a bird with a human head, or a half-human and half-bird, but they take out one at random, and it's not something that lions and tigers can beat in the yang realm.
"What about the Yakshas?" I blurted out.

As soon as I said this, Mitra's face was so ugly that I was so frightened that I thought I had asked something wrong.
He groaned for a long time with a cold face, and then said to me, "I think that the dragon thieves are the Yakshas!" ”
I asked him with a shocked look on his face why he was so sure that he saw it after they stole the dragon qi.
He told me that he was not really, that he was a general in the country of North Brato, and that he was on patrol at that time, and he received the guidance of the Bodhisattva and then the king's order was given. When he came, the place was already full of corpses of earth immortals, that is, before he came, the dragon was already angry.
I looked at him puzzled, not understanding that he didn't see it, so I could be sure that the Yaksha had done it.
He explained to me that in the past, the entire Asura Realm was led by the Asura Clan, who fought against the Heavenly Beings for many years. After the canonization of the gods, the Dharma spread here, and the Asura became one of the eight members of the Heavenly Dragon of the Buddhist Sect, but the Yaksha clan was unwilling to give up and respected Bo Xun.
Wait, the Yaksha is also one of the eight tribes, why does this have something to do with Bo Shun, isn't Bo Shun the demon king who obstructed Shakyamuni Buddha with all kinds of golems when he was enlightened under the Bodhi tree? It seems that it is also the sixth day, and he is free to come to the Lord of Heaven.
"There are two kinds of asuras, the male is the asura and the female is the gandharva. There are also two kinds of Yakshas, one is called Yaksha and the other is called Rakshasa and collectively referred to as Yakshas. Yamidhara explained.
I didn't ask again, but listened attentively.
He said that in the Asura Realm, only the Yaksha and Asura are equivalent to the people of the Yang Realm, and the rest are equivalent to the Animal Dao. Those who believe in Bo Shun are specifically Rakshasa but not all.
The Yaksha is easy to tell, they are usually dwarfs with droopy bellies, a bit like the hungry ghosts of hell in our imagination. Although they are ugly, they are generally very kind, and they are very few in the Asura Dao who do not like to fight, but they are the only mortal enemies with the Rakshasas.
I said in my heart that I haven't been to the Hell Hungry Ghost Path, and I don't know what a hungry ghost looks like, but through his description, I remembered a character in the game, which seems to be called a goblin.

He told me that the Rakshasas and the Asuras look very similar, the difference is that the skin of the Asura people is red, while the Rakshasa people are green, and other than that, outsiders can hardly distinguish it.
I glanced at him and saw that he was right, and it was really hard to tell. I see that his skin is about the same color as ours, and I don't know where he came from this redness.
"The Rakshasas have been surrounded and suppressed by various tribes for many years due to their evil views and various evil deeds in the Asura realm. The problem is that they are only a part of the rakshasas, and there are many rakshasas who have also taken refuge under the teachings of the bodhisattvas, so it is really difficult to discern. ”
"As for why I'm sure it was the Rakshasa who did it, it's because Bo Xun has been pressed under the Great Sumeru Mountain for thousands of years, and it is also the change of dynasties in the Yang Realm. Every time there is a true dragon vein cultivation, they will be tempted, you can ask the older generation of immortals in the hall camp to know, this is not the first time! ”
After he finished speaking, his face was gloomy and he stopped talking.
My heart is also quite heavy, his grandmother's, it is enough to have a consistent teaching, but I didn't expect that there is such a group in the Asura Realm, and it is stronger and more secretive.
"That's right." I asked him, "You said that the Bodhisattva's teachings have converted some rakshasas, is the Bodhisattva you are talking about a Bodhisattva who is diligent and spreading the Dharma?" ”
"Exactly! The Bodhisattva has been in the Asura Realm for almost 2,000 years, and it is he who has carried forward the Dharma here and made a great wish that when the beings in the Asura Realm are truly free from suffering and happy, he will have to taste the right fruits. He said respectfully.
After listening to this, my heart was full of shock, such a great wish is almost comparable to the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo. The King of the Earth Bodhisattva has already attained the Ten Lands, and has become a great Bodhisattva who has made up for his life, and has even transformed many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and his true merits have already become Buddhas.
And this diligent Dharma Propagation Bodhisattva has only reached the invincible fruit position, and he actually made such a great wish, or in the asura realm, this sea of killing fire. How much perseverance, how much faith?
