I glanced at Mr. Lu and felt a sympathy for him. I said compassionately, "Although you have entered the right path, you are not as happy as I am. ”

Then I muttered, "What's the benefit of cultivating?" It's better to be a demon and a monster and be happy......"

The imps were standing in front of me. I glanced at them, and I couldn't see the end, these little ghosts rose and fell like the sea, and they drew me into them and joined them.

They cheered and said, "Come on, come on." Be a demon and a monster, and be very happy. ”

I took another step forward, and then my body was pulled by someone. When I looked back, it was Gu Yue. Her face was full of pleading, and she was shouting something so loudly that I couldn't hear her, but I could feel it in the shape of my mouth. What she said was, "Don't go. ”

I sighed. He shook his head slightly and said, "If I become a demon and a monster, a beautiful woman like you will naturally not refuse to come, and I will go around in that gentle country and enjoy the joy of mutual affection." But after I practiced and became a god and Buddha, I couldn't move my mind anymore. When you see a beautiful woman, you should be afraid of a snake and scorpion, and when you see a man and a woman in love, you should be like drinking poison through the intestines. Live like that. What's more? ”

Gu Yue grabbed me, probably trying to persuade me. But the result was the opposite, after I saw her, I felt even more that it was better to be a demon than a righteous monk.

Just then, I suddenly heard a snap. Immediately afterward, there was a sharp pain on his face. Then, half of my face went numb.

I saw Mr. Lu standing in front of me, bowing left and right, and slapping me hard. I was furious and thought: Why are you hitting me for no reason?

Mr. Lu fought for a while. Suddenly my ears felt like they had been opened, and I could hear the sounds outside.

I heard Mr. Lu's hoarse voice shouting in my ear, "Have you forgotten my senior brother? ”

My whole body shook and I shuddered: "yes, yes." Evil Bodhisattva, Evil Bodhisattva. How similar is my current situation to his? ”

As soon as I thought about it, I couldn't help but sweat all over my body, and I didn't dare to move forward anymore. I slowly sat down and began to adjust my breathing. I calmed myself down and started thinking.

I don't know much about what the evil bodhisattva experienced back then. But from the oral accounts of the people, I can probably piece together some plots. Back then, he provoked the ghost and was forced somewhere. Those demons did not kill him, but corroded him with their anger, causing him to develop demons in his heart, turning him into the evil demon alien he hated the most.

When I saw him in the temple of the Evil Bodhisattva, he was a monk during the day and an evil demon at night. His mind was blurred, and he thought that he was the king of Jizo, and instead of crossing the ghosts, he wanted to kill the ghosts.

I sat on the ground and thought to myself: I am afraid that the evil bodhisattva was surrounded by evil ghosts like us, and then used the Dao talisman to conjure up a circle of flames in order to protect himself. As a result, just like I just now, I was lured by the imp and had a demon, and I couldn't get out again.

As soon as I thought of the demons in my heart, I couldn't help but think, "What's the benefit of practicing?" It's better to be a demon and a monster and be happy......"

Mr. Lu sat cross-legged in front of me and asked, "Have you figured it out?" ”

I shook my head and repeated, "What's the benefit of practicing? It's better to be a demon and a monster and be happy......"

Mr. Lu glanced at me and said, "From the perspective of mortals, you think that the gods and Buddhas are too boring to move mortal hearts, and it is not as fun as having joys, sorrows, and sorrows in the world." When you become an evil demon, you will feel that the world is too boring, and you can't even kill people casually, you have to abide by morality, you have to obey the law, and you are still happy with demons and monsters. ”

Mr. Lu's two short sentences almost woke me up, and I felt as if I was about to grasp some truth, but I was always separated by a layer of window paper, and I just couldn't see the content inside.

At this time, a hand was placed on my shoulder, and then a warm body snuggled up to me and sat down.

I turned my head and looked, it was Gu Yue. Gu Yue said: "There are thousands of living beings in the world, and there are certain rules to be able to live together. If you can't restrain your evil thoughts, you're going to become a demon. If your good thoughts are greater than your evil thoughts, you will become disgusted with evil spirits and become human. When you expel evil thoughts and only have good in your heart, you will not look down on the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the world, and become gods and Buddhas. Those imps have deceived you. The world of gods and Buddhas is certainly boring when viewed through human eyes. But when you become a Buddha, you won't be bored. In other words, you can become a Buddha only when you don't find them boring. ”

She pointed to my heart and said, "Is it a Buddha, a human, or a demon." It's all decided by one's own heart, and others can't interfere. The golden cicada was not beaten down by the Buddha to the mortal world, but by himself. He longed for the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the world even more, so he went. I don't think he felt miserable at that moment, but was very happy. ”

Gu Yue's words finally woke me up, I nodded at her and said, "I understand, I understand." Thank you, thank you. ”

Then my body shuddered, and I found myself standing in the wilderness. There is still an eerie ghost aura around, but what Hades Palace, what black and white impermanence, is gone. A few dozen paces in front of me was Yucheng, and the lights were still lit inside. I looked far away, and the city in the distance was still brightly lit.

I looked at Mr. Lu, who was sitting next to me, his eyes were closed, and his face was covered with beads of sweat, as if he had never moved his position. And by my side, there is no Gu Yue.

I suddenly understood that just now we had encountered the same thing as the evil bodhisattva. These imps have surrounded us, intent on forcing out our demons and turning us into ghosts. The Mr. Lu and Gu Yue I saw just now were actually just me, and it was I who turned into their image, persuaded me and saved me.

I tried to wake Mr. Lui up, but I took two steps towards him and stopped. I know that his demons can only be overcome by himself, and if I intervene rashly, it may backfire.

I waited for Mr. Lu for a long time, and finally, he slowly opened his eyes, then looked at me in confusion, and fell heavily to the ground.

When I saw that he was awake, I hurriedly ran over and asked, "How is it?" ”

Mr. Lu gasped vigorously and said, "It's amazing, it's amazing." No wonder my brother was recruited back then. Fortunately, he has learned from the past, otherwise this time, I would have to die. ”

When I heard him say this, I knew that he had broken through his demons and was sanity.

At this time, I heard a few miserable laughter in the distance: "The masters of the Double Ninth Festival test are just different. He was able to overcome his own demons. "-#~Wonderful Pen Pavilion?++

Mr. Lu stood up and said in that direction: "We have no grievances and no enemies, but you hurt me like this, but it is too much." ”

There was the laughter of a little ghost, and they sneered and said, "Our brother has given you a creation." You can break through your own demons, and your realm has improved a lot. I am afraid it will be of great benefit to your future. Instead of thanking our brothers, they reprimanded loudly, which is really chilling. ”

Mr. Lu bowed his head and said to me, "These little ghosts and donkeys are exhausted, let's go." ”

I asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lu, what do you see?" ”

Mr. Lu smiled bitterly: "It's okay if you don't say it, it's okay if you don't say it." Then he added, "But these little imps are right. If we can't break through, we will become demons, and now that we have broken through, I am afraid that we will really benefit in the future. Just like the test, although it is dangerous, but in it, I also learned some spiritual principles. ”

I nodded, and those conversations came back to my head. It's a demon, it's a Buddha, it's a human. They all have their own hearts to decide. Then, I thought that when the golden cicada went down to earth, his heart was yearning for the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the world, and he could be regarded as seeking benevolence. Then in his heart, the mortal world seems to be no worse than the fairy world. Are there really any high or low realms in these realms?

I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard a loud shout from inside the hut: "You are looking for death." ”
