Many people are afraid of death, but in fact, what they are afraid of is not death, but the unknown world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because they don't know what they will see, experience, or become after they die.

So they're afraid.

The wealthy merchant feared that he would be penniless when he died, and would once again be reduced to the streets begging for food;

The sour literati were afraid of dementia after their death, and they could not casually recite poems;

The monarch who has the power of the world is afraid that he will be alone after his death, and he can no longer order hundreds of officials with slogans;

They are afraid of the unknown and equally afraid of losing.

But if you tell them what they will experience when they die, then they will no longer be afraid of the above, and then they will be afraid of death.

"Is this why Buddhism promotes the eighteen levels of hell, wanting to use their fear to make them do good deeds, and want to use their fear to make them help others?" asked Tang Seng.

"That's right," Tang Seng nodded slightly, "But is helping others really doing good deeds, and making others happy is doing good deeds, no one can say for sure." ”

"Why, isn't there eighteen layers of hell to judge?" Sun Wukong couldn't wait to cover his mouth before he could speak.

He had sensed his folly, but now that the words had been spoken, he couldn't take them back.

"The eighteen levels of hell are never meant to be punished, they exist to warn mortals not to touch something, to warn them not to hurt others. Tang Seng thought about it and said.

Sun Wukong was silent for a while: "Have you ever seen the eighteenth layer of hell?"

"Nope. Tang Seng shook his head.

"Then why are you so sure?"

Sun Wukong's eyes flickered when he asked this question, Tang Seng had never seen it, but he had seen it, the raging volcano, the hot molten iron, and the dense blades, which made people feel cold when they saw it, it was a real hell.

"Feeling. Tang Seng said.

"You have always refused to kill, and you are trying your best to stop me from killing, is it because you don't want to enter the eighteenth layer of hell?" Sun Wukong smiled.

"No, not because of that. Tang Seng muttered, lowered his head, his eyes flashing and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, the rain outside became lighter and lighter, and slowly turned into a thin mist.

Tang Seng walked out, letting his robe be wet with rain, his eyes squinting slightly, as if he was enjoying and being sad.

Perhaps the damp face is really a drop of water condensed by rainwater.

"Senior brother. The voice sounded from behind Tang Seng.

Tang Seng's body shook suddenly, and then slowly turned around.

"What are you doing?" Tang Seng looked at the person in front of him, his expression still not fluctuating.

"It's already the tenth life, have you figured it out?"

“....”

Tang Seng turned his back again, leaving Guanyin with a back.

"You don't have to suffer so much, as long as you give the master a soft face, he will forgive you, you know, he originally hurt you the most. ”

Guanyin looked at Tang Seng, his eyebrows were full of tenderness.

"But the hardships I endured made me more determined to take my own path, I have no regrets, if I can go back to the original time, I will still do it. ”

Tang Seng's voice did not fluctuate, there was no emotion, as if it was just a piece of wood that had dried up for a long time.

"It's you who was wrong, I know you never missed it, but this time it's really you who are wrong. Guanyin pursed her lips, "I really don't want you to go further and further down this wrong path, and in the end you won't even be able to find yourself." ”

"There is no wrong way, any path can be taken. ”

"But there are so many roads, why did you choose such the most difficult one, do you know, what is after the ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulty?"

Tang Seng shook his head: "I don't know, and I don't want to know." ”

"If you really knew, you'd regret it. ”

Tang Seng suddenly smiled, he was no longer the pink-faced little student, now he already had a series of folds on his face that symbolized the vicissitudes of experience and vicissitudes, he smiled, and the folds piled up, setting off his face a little weird.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at you for going to great lengths to make such a heavy rain, but I, an idiot, don't appreciate it. Tang Seng said.

"You know it's the rain I caused?"

"You say I'm never wrong. ”

"But I'm not you, I'll be wrong, and sometimes I can be wrong. Guanyin looked at Tang Seng, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

"But I'm different from you, I know I'm going to make mistakes, so I won't resist when my master tells me I'm wrong. ”

"Maybe that's the biggest mistake you've ever made, which is to trust him too much. ”

Guanyin's face sank.

"Originally, you and Shizun will not make mistakes, if you can correct your mistakes in time, you will still be the perfect senior brother in my heart. ”

"You came to me, does he know?"

"Shizun knows everything, and he can't hide anything. Guanyin's tone was very firm.

"Whether I tell him or not, he'll know. ”

"Didn't you tell him, aren't you afraid that he will be angry?" Tang Seng glanced at Guanyin.

"I'd rather make him angry than make you wrong. ”

Tang Seng's expression became strange, and his voice became a little strangely sharp: "What am I wrong?"

"You are wrong not to question what the master has done as a disciple, no matter how wise you are, you will be insignificant in front of the master. ”

Tang Seng turned around and saw Sun Wukong and they were all looking at him, and they all saw the existence of Guanyin, so they all watched from the side and said nothing.

He pointed to Sun Wukong: "He called me a monk, and he wanted to beat me to death with a stick more than once." ”

He pointed to Zhu Bajie again: "He called me a monk, and he also looked at me angrily. ”

Then he looked at Avalokiteshvara: "I am angry at what they have done, but I have not condemned them for their thoughts, banished them, or erased their memories to make them completely obey my orders. ”

That's because you don't have this ability, Sun Wukong secretly thought to himself, if you had this ability, we might have become your tools a long time ago.

Tang Seng, who seemed to have read Sun Wukong's inner thoughts, glared at Sun Wukong fiercely, Sun Wukong snorted and turned his head in other directions, no longer looking at him.

"But the master is not you, so he won't do it like you. Guanyin still looked at Tang Seng like that.

"He's not me, I'm not him, so I won't do what he does, I have my own way of doing it, and it has nothing to do with him!"
