Chapter 367: Blissful Flaw
Yifeng walked silently on the battlefield strewn with corpses, his black robe stained with blood-stained sludge.
"Xuanluan. Ichikaze suddenly shouted.
Xuanluan raised her head, she was still playing with the corpse burning in the back just now, and asked with a wink, "What's the matter, Brother Yifeng?"
Immediately, she also felt the strange eyes of the monks who were cleaning the battlefield and carrying corpses around her, and she instantly understood, but muttered unconvinced:
"Isn't it just useless shells, what's the use of keeping them? I see thousands of people dying and coming back to life every day in the eighteen hells, what are these dead people?"
Her almost evil way would have caused outrage elsewhere and would have been besieged to death.
But at this moment, people's hearts are numb, not to mention that she and Yifeng are indeed the biggest contributors to the victory of this battle, and others didn't say anything.
Although the Buddhist concept pursues the realm of emptiness, everything is empty, and the body is like a skin, only the state of mind is high, and it should be seen through the cycle of life and death.
However, the state that they think should be attained has become an extremely high state even among these Buddhist monks who have been exposed to it since childhood.
Many people are unable to understand the realm and true meaning of "emptiness", and their feelings are still pinned on this dead body.
No one can say what the final consequences of this cognitive bias will be.
"That's not what I'm talking about. Yifeng shook his head disappreciatively and said, "In the battle just now, why did you throw out the heads of some Buddhist monks?"
"Oh, that's what you're talking about!" Xuanluan inexplicably began to get excited, and said in a chattering voice: "That Uncle Yan told me after you took people away that the most important thing in defending the city is to be afraid that someone will take advantage of the loopholes. ”
He said that he had taken advantage of other people's loopholes to get into the city and take down a city, so now he had to think the other way around and send people to patrol the city walls. ”
"I thought it was funny, so I followed them. As a result, in the corner of the city gate, I overheard the monks secretly plotting to kill the people guarding the city gate and open the city gate. I'm so angry that I'm going to kill them all!"
Xuanluan's little face was triumphant, and there was no trace of uneasiness at all, if she had put her words elsewhere······ Yifeng shook his head helplessly and said, "What happened later?"
"Later, then I took these heads and told Uncle Yan. He told me he knew, that he had his own arrangements, and that he didn't praise me. Those old monks who don't know how to cultivate still make a fuss and blame me when they see the head, I really don't know how to cultivate the Buddha. ”
Xuanluan pouted as he spoke, looking depressed.
Yifeng Xindao, you recklessly carried dozens of heads and ran over, not to mention those old monks who can't cultivate, I'm afraid that even Juechen will be frightened.
However, he didn't blame Xuanluan, and said, "What do you mean when you just said that you see many people dying and coming back to life every day in hell?"
Xuanluan looked at him with strange eyes and said, "Brother Yifeng, are you stupid to kill people? Eighteen hells! Every day there are people who are punished, die, and then come back to life, and the next day they are punished again, and then they die again, and come back to life, until their sins are all gone, and then they are put into the six realms of reincarnation." ”
"But some people seem to have been there all along, and they have become regular customers of hell, and there are more and more such people, and the old man is too busy to keep up, and his face is Zou Baba every day, and he is getting older and older. ”
Yifeng knew that the "old man" she was talking about was the Jizo King Bodhisattva, a revered Venerable Buddha who went deep into hell to save suffering souls, and was truly a compassionate god and Buddha.
He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Xuanluan, I remember that when we first came out of the Tongyun Forest, there was a god and Buddha and a demon heaven Shura who saw us, and seemed to be a little flustered, what is the reason, is it because of you?"
"Yes and no. Xuanluan smiled slyly.
Yifeng said angrily: "Say it quickly, be careful that I pluck your hair." ”
Xuanluan pouted, pretending to be old-fashioned and said angrily: "Of course they panicked when they saw me, could it be you? Hmph, you are just a little monk in the Jade Realm now, even if you are a Buddha, will you still be afraid of you, are you not ······ Hmph!"
Yifeng looked at her angry appearance, couldn't cry or laugh, and pretended to be serious and said: "Don't be naughty, let's be clear, what is the reason." ”
Xuanluan said: "I was just born in the human world at that time, and I still had a strong hellish breath on my body, and they recognized me, and then thought that my old man was also following me, so they panicked. ”
"Why?" asked Ichikaze, puzzled.
Xuanluan seemed to think of something more angry, his face turned red, and he said: "It's not because my old man is different, whether it is the Buddha Realm, the God Realm, the Immortal Realm, or even the Human Realm, I know that there is a Bodhisattva in the entire Buddha Realm who is in hell to save the souls of the dead and eliminate evils. He also said, 'Hell is not empty, you will not become a Buddha, and all sentient beings will be exhausted, and Bodhi will be proven.' ’”
"Do you know, because of this, for thousands of years, the Heavenly Buddha Realm has also criticized the old man, the Western Paradise is bright and majestic, and the old man lives in hell. Some gods and Buddhas say that the old man is actually contaminated with the magic of Shura in hell, and he is a god and Buddha who was suppressed in hell by Bliss. But because of his strength, even the Shura Heavenly King of the Eightfold Demon Heaven was not as powerful as him, and no one dared to provoke him. ”
"The old man didn't argue about this matter, yes, how could he, such a great bodhisattva, pay attention to these nonsense and slanderous words? But over time, the heavens and Buddhas and even the Shura world actually believed it to be true! From then on, those newly enlightened gods and Buddhas did not dare to provoke him, and those Shura Heavenly Kings also seemed to acquiesce to him as the most powerful Shura Heavenly King, Brother Yifeng, you are not angry!"
"What's the truth?" Yifeng was also a little curious at the moment.
"Do you still need to say it?" Xuanluan said indignantly: "Those gods and Buddhas are all talkative, they live in Bliss, they say that they are compassionate, and they push things around, no, if there is a difficulty in the Buddha's way in the world, won't they push you down?"
"If you want me to say, it's not so much that they are afraid of the old man, but that they are ashamed. is also a god and Buddha, a person who lives to save suffering and purify sentient beings, those who criticize him only know how to move their mouths, and their hypocrisy has nowhere to hide in front of the old man. ”
Yifeng shook his head, he didn't expect that the original lofty God and Buddha Realm also had these obscure and dark things, he couldn't help asking, "Then why did he send you to me?"
Xuanluan was stunned at this time, thought about it, shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, perhaps, the old man thinks that he is in the same way as you!"
Yifeng sighed, things may not be as simple as Xuanluan said, but now for him, those things in the world of gods and demons are out of reach, and the most important thing for him now is to save the Buddha in the world.
Before he knew it, he had walked to the edge of the battlefield, and when he turned around and looked from here, there was a sea of corpses that seemed to be endless.
He finally understood the greatness of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and if he wanted to save such a huge number of sentient beings, he was afraid that there would never be an end in sight. However, the Bodhisattva King of Jizo was able to make such a grand wish and vowed to complete this great cause even if he did not become a Buddha, what perseverance and greatness!
So, if you don't become a Buddha, what do you have to care about? As long as you can save the common people, what if you don't become a Buddha?
Further, is Bliss a real Bliss? Is there really not a single blemish?
Or, Elysium also has shady ditches?
He couldn't help but shake his head. At this moment, he suddenly heard a sharp and familiar voice behind him, turned to look, and saw a huge purple-gold bat flying from the sky, coming to him in the blink of an eye.
"Little Senior Sister!"
Ichikaze keenly sensed an extremely familiar aura, his eyes widened, and he shouted with extreme excitement.
Purple smoke flickered, and a figure rushed out of the smoke, rushing towards him.
Yifeng looked at this figure in a daze, he hadn't seen her for too long, and every day he didn't see her seemed to be like a year.
The person who came was Xiugu, and they had rushed here day and night since they heard that there was a big battle to exterminate Buddhist monks in Qingping Town.
The fire monkey was also very happy, but he understood that Yifeng and Xiugu had been closer than relatives since they were children, and this moment should not disturb their reunion.
Xiao Fudie and Liu Yi followed behind the fire monkey in silence, but their eyes were more about the sea of corpses and blood behind Yifeng, and they were secretly frightened.
Even Liu Yi, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, can hardly imagine the thrilling process of this battle.
Xiu Gu rushed over and hugged Yifeng tightly, she originally wanted to hold him in her arms as before, but found that this little junior brother was already half a head taller than her, she threw herself into Yifeng's arms instead, her head resting on his shoulder, and tears kept flowing.
"I miss you so much, Yifeng. ”
Feeling a stronger body, she knew that he had endured a lot of ordeal in places she couldn't see.
Yifeng hugged the little junior sister, his eyes were full of tears, he felt a sour nose, he finally took off all his strong defenses at this moment and became that soft and docile little junior brother again.
Only in front of her, he is a real child, but his face is pale, and he almost cries: "Senior sister, I, I killed a lot of people!"
Xiu Gu hugged him tighter, tears welled up in her voice, her voice was hoarse, and she shook her head vigorously and said, "I don't blame you, Yifeng, I don't blame you!"
