Chapter 682: "Differentiated" Treatment; Why did the donor make such a big gift?
The power of sentient beings' wishes is so strong that it can be said to be the power of another system in the Three Realms.
It is not the same as the traditional practice, and it can even be said that it is fundamentally different.
The reason why the three sects had a dispute over the religious system back then was precisely to compete for these incense wishes, but later the monks of the three religions found that although these incense wishes were strong and could greatly increase their own strength, they would also have a lot of shackles on their original cultivation.
In order to seek the supreme avenue, Taoist practitioners began to take the initiative to give up these wishes, and this gap happened to be seized by the Buddhism that urgently needed to develop its own strength, so there was the image of Buddhism flourishing.
The great prosperity that is based on the will power of sentient beings is, after all, lacking a little bit of foundation, and far less solid than its own strength.
This is also why the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism will establish and operate their own Buddha kingdoms one by one, and it is in this way that they can ensure that their incense wishes can have a stable guarantee.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to form a large and effective supply by relying only on the faith of the common people.
It's not that it's absolutely impossible, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who seems to be worshiped by the beings of the Three Realms, has no worries about the power of faith at all.
However, an existence like Guanyin Bodhisattva does not need to use the power of incense to improve himself, but pays more attention to his own practice.
But how many people can there be in Lingshan Buddhas, such as Guanyin Bodhisattva?
If it was the little white dragon who didn't practice with the master before, he would definitely not be able to withstand such temptation, but if he hadn't practiced under the master and went to the west to learn scriptures together, then there would definitely be no such opportunity.
From the White Dragon Bodhisattva to the White Dragon Sect Master, whether it is the Bodhisattva's fruit position or the sect leader's honorable position, it is not at all what the little white dragon himself wants.
And the little white dragon's appeal is also very simple, that is, to let the master shave himself in his heart. But this is just a matter of effort for Master, and Master just doesn't do it.
Moreover, the master's care for himself is no worse than that of several senior brothers, but he has been treated with such a "difference", which makes Xiao Bailong very distressed.
Maybe this is what Buddhism calls imposing.
What you want, you often can't get it; And those things that were not taken to heart in the first place, or even disdained, would take the initiative to put them on their bodies, even if these things were very precious, but they could not make half a wave rise in the little white dragon's heart.
Just like when on the westbound road, how many beautiful fairy fairies and princesses took the initiative to stick upside down on the little white dragon, but the little white dragon always rejected each of them equally.
It's just that the wish power generated by these little demons now is not something that he can open his mouth if he wants to refuse.
Maybe the little white dragon himself is not clear, his existence has almost become a beam of light for these little demons in the Three Realms, and the little demons' yearning for the future is almost all pinned on the little white dragon. But this did not prevent the little white dragon from knowing what kind of blow it would be to them if he said something that disappointed them at this time.
It's like the master who didn't want to become a Buddha back then, but in the end, under a holy decree of the Jade Emperor, he had to prove himself.
When you find that on your shoulders, what you are carrying is not simply your own head, but a heavier responsibility, some choices can not be made by your temperament.
But whether it is the White Dragon Bodhisattva or the White Dragon Sect Master, the little white dragon is always the little white dragon, he is first the third prince of the West Sea of the Dragon Clan, and then the chief lay disciple of the Sanzang Holy Buddha.
In the case of ensuring that his position is firm and unwavering, he will play the role of the White Dragon Bodhisattva and the White Dragon Sect Master, shelter more demons, and lead them to the right path.
For the little white dragon, he doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the human race, not to mention that his father and three uncles are still alive, his eldest brother is enough to take on the heavy responsibility, and he has no room for interference.
It's no wonder that he cares about these little demons, first, he has already started to deal with this mess; Second, doesn't it also show the kindness of the little white dragon?
If it was the Great Sage who was the pioneer and mixed into the cave, I am afraid that the little demons would not only lose their lives, but I am afraid that the Three Realms would also lose a White Dragon Bodhisattva.
And the beginning of all this is in the Yellow Wind Cave of the Yellow Wind Ridge of the Eight Hundred Miles, which, as the first White Dragon Temple in the Three Realms, has now become a holy place in the hearts of the believers of the White Dragon Sect.
There has never been a shortage of rookies in the Three Realms, in fact, Yang Jian back then, and Sanzang today are all like this.
If Xiao Bailong really accepted these wishes with himself, his strength would probably skyrocket in a very short period of time.
When Yuding Zhenren taught Yang Jian, he told him that the source of mana in the Three Realms could not only rely on cultivation, but in fact, the seven emotions and six desires such as love, hatred, hatred, life and death, could become the source of his own strength.
In addition to these factors mentioned by Yuding Zhenren, in fact, the perception of Buddhism and Taoism, and even the Confucian scriptures, can become the source of his own mana, and the mana of Fahai comes from his own Dharma, otherwise with only more than ten years of cultivation, how can he practice to such a state today?
And the power of desire has the same effect, and it is even easier and more convenient to come.
The little white dragon undoubtedly has great perseverance, or the obsession in his heart is greater than all the temptations of the outside world.
In fact, many times, obsession often has a negative effect on one's own practice, and Xiaobailong is obviously different, and it is a typical example of obsession that can rarely play a positive role.
Several disciples of the Sanzang Holy Buddha Sect of the Great Ci'en Temple are all talented in the Three Realms, even if they are scattered all over the place now, they are all full of stars and are benefiting the Three Realms.
Although Bajie wants to stay in Changbai Mountain for the time being and take care of the reincarnation array, everyone knows very well that as long as those remnant souls in the reincarnation array, especially those remnant souls who have been imprinted by the witchcraft of Tianchi Witch Maiden in Changbai Mountain, can complete the restoration of the divine soul, and go to the six reincarnations of the underworld, the real reincarnation, Bajie will get an immeasurable merit power.
It was supposed to be like this.
But all this after a hunter hunted a rabbit. A sea change has taken place.
this day.
Bajie is accompanied by Huang Xiu'er, wandering in the Changbai Mountain.
Suddenly, Bajie smelled an unusual aroma.
After they followed the fragrance to find the source, Bajie's expression began to feel a little wrong.
At first, Huang Xiuer thought that it was because the hunter hunted the rabbit and did not take it out of Changbai Mountain, but made a fire and roasted the rabbit on the spot. Although Master Wuneng said that he doesn't mind the matter of others eating meat, what if it is a scene? After all, he is a disciple of Buddhism, how can he have no scruples about this?
Even Huang Xiu'er was silent and didn't dare to speak.
It happened that he was caught by Orion, and when he saw that it was Wuneng Zen Master himself, he was horrified, and subconsciously threw the roasted rabbit to the ground, and knelt down in the direction of Wuneng Zen Master to admit his mistake.
It's hard for him not to panic.
Who doesn't know that today's Changbai Mountain, although it is the five immortals who have the final say, but in fact, the Wuneng Zen master in front of him is the real guardian saint.
Orion's body trembled, his legs trembled and he was about to bend down or Bajie with an arrow step, straddled in front of Orion, stretched out his hand to support the other party, and said, "Why did the donor make such a big gift?" ”
Orion heard Wu Neng Zen Master's question, and was speechless for a while. The heart said: Why do I make such a big gift, do you really not know the old man?
Orion was about to open his mouth to explain, but he heard Zen Master Wuneng continue, "You don't have to be so fearful at all, and the poor monk is not an evil monk and a murderer."
Huang Xiu'er on the side heard this, and muttered in her heart, you may not know that what you just did was forced, even if the demon saw it, he had to shudder.
In Changbai Mountain, the reason why the restrictions on hunters entering the mountain to hunt have been lifted is that after the previous year's recuperation in the mountain, the wild animals in the mountain can be described as quite flooded.
Relying only on the natural species in Changbai Mountain to maintain the ecological balance through the food chain is already insufficient, especially the rabbits with strong reproductive ability, which have almost flooded in Changbai Mountain.
A large part of the reason is the wolves of Snow Wolf Valley. The five great immortal families took advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the clan.
In addition, like tigers, leopards and bears, although these three tribes are better than the wolf tribe, they all have heavy casualties, but to a certain extent, these carnivorous beasts have also reduced a lot of food pressure.
In the past, there were more wolves and less meat in Changbai Mountain, like now. In many cases, they don't even have to actively hunt, and the hunters will send them to the door themselves.
But their reproduction and growth rate is relatively slow. When the demand is less than the supply, Changbai Mountain at this time is actually the most moist time for them.
The opening of Orion into the mountain is precisely to improve the ecological environment of Changbai Mountain, which has gradually become deformed. However, it is difficult to make an effective impact on the self-regulation of the Changbai Mountain ecosystem alone.
It is said that it is taboo for hunters to roast the hunted prey on the spot in the Changbai Mountain, because these aromas often attract those carnivorous beasts.
Bajie didn't know why the hunter in front of him did this, but it was not only this that really made Bajie change his face. It's really the one in front of me, a roasted rabbit.
Huang Xiu'er was still quite keen, and it quickly noticed Bajie's attention, in fact, a large part of it was scattered on the body of this roasted whole rabbit, so he took the initiative to pick up the rabbit from the ground
And at this time, the hunter began to explain to Zen Master Wuneng, "Master forgive me, the villain knows that he is wrong. But the villain really didn't mean to eat this hare, but because he had been in the mountain for five days, and the villain had not hunted any prey, so he wanted to go deep into the mountains, but when he entered the mountain, he lost his direction and lost his path."
"The villain only brought one day's rations, and even if he saved it, he barely lasted two days and on the third day, he could only satisfy his hunger with wild fruits and vegetables. Today, when hunger and thirst were unbearable, the rabbit suddenly fell to death on the stump of a tree beside the little man."
Huang Xiu'er is not surprised by this, the rabbit crashed into a tree with its head and died, it is also seen a lot in Changbai Mountain.
Huang Xiuer is used to it, but this little hunter in front of her is obviously a novice. I'm afraid I've never seen such a scene before, so he continued to Zen Master Wuneng, "The villain thinks that this is a gift from God who sees the villain as pitiful. I couldn't hold back for a while, so I roasted it with gratitude. ”
"But the Zen master. Don't get me wrong, I haven't eaten a single bite of this rabbit. Orion pointed to the rabbit and motioned for Master Wuneng to look.
Bajie also took a look at it, in fact, he had already discovered this when he first came over. The hunter held the rabbit up in front of him, his eyes closed, and his mouth was full of words of thanksgiving.
After hearing the movement of them coming, he opened his eyes and saw that it was him, so he directly scared the rabbit in his hand and fell to the ground.
Although he didn't have time to eat, he really didn't have time to eat yet.
"I'm glad you didn't eat it." Bajie took out some water from his storage bag and sent it to him first, "If you are hungry for three or four days, eat meat as soon as you open your mouth, and be careful to throw your little life in Changbai Mountain." ”
"Huh?" Orion was obviously stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Will you die if you eat meat?" ”
Huang Xiuer answered this question for Bajie, "Of course, eating meat will not eat the dead, but it will just disturb your stomach."
Orion, though a novice, is not a fool either, and has some spirituality. After listening to Huang Xiu'er's words, he probably understood what it meant, in a place like Changbai Mountain, he roasted rabbits first, and the aroma was very likely to attract the fierce beasts in the mountains.
With their own ability, they may be able to deal with one, at most two, tigers and leopards. If there are too many beasts attracted, and it coincides with gastrointestinal disorders and stomach troubles, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Drink some rice porridge first to recover your stomach."
Bajie took out a small pot from the Qiankun bag again, used the other party's fire rack, and began to boil porridge.
At this time, Bajie signaled Huang Xiu'er to hand over the roasted whole rabbit.
I have to say that this fledgling little hunter not only has the ability to hunt at home, but also the cooking technique is really average. Anyway, it was fed by Bajie, and it was no longer an ordinary food, and it could enter its mouth.
The little hunter didn't know Huang Xiu'er's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely argue with reason, "It's really not that I haven't learned the skills of hunting, but after entering Changbai Mountain, I can always perfectly avoid the direction where the prey is." ”
But at this moment, the eyes of Little Orion and Huang Xiuer were focused on Zen Master Wuneng, and they didn't know why Zen Master Wuneng cared so much about a roasted rabbit.
