Chapter 31: Killing, Not Killing
Mo Rufeng remembered that there was such a thing, mainly because he heard that many disciples were sent to search, but not only was there no result, but one was killed.
Elder Fang had also mentioned to him about escalating the hunt and kill order, and he felt that there was no need to make a big move, so he put it aside for the time being.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little resentful.
At this moment, another group of probes hurried back.
"Returning to the sect master, I found that half a month ago, a person entered Huijiang City from the direction of Gujing Mountain, and then went east."
"Also, after comparison, that person seems to have also appeared in Kuili City, which is related to the Thousand Machine Gate."
"That little sect that was destroyed?" Mo Rufeng frowned and muttered for a moment, and suddenly said sharply: "How can a mere child of the clan stir up such a big storm, have you found out clearly!?" ”
With this anger, not only the shocked explorers trembled, but even the elders of the three sects couldn't help but shrink back.
"After comparing the portraits, we also found out that the original Qianjimen person asked, it was indeed him!"
"Heading east? Can you find out where to go? As soon as Dongfang Sheng's words came out, Shi Chong laughed strangely, making him look displeased. Old ghost, if you have something to say, what are you laughing at here? ”
"If you go east, you will naturally return to the mountain, so why ask such a question."
"Shishou is wise, he seems to be in a hurry, and he even drove two hundred miles to Dayan Temple." The investigator reported.
"In a hurry?" Shi Chong squinted his eyes and sneered, "Two, I'm afraid we have to hurry up." That person was in such a hurry to go to Dayan Temple, I am afraid that his humanity was not lost, and he asked for help! ”
Dongfang Sheng snorted coldly, "Just send the elders, how dare a group of martial arts donkeys stop us." ”
Mo Rufeng also felt reasonable, and immediately named the three elders and asked them to set off with the deacon and disciples.
The three sects sent a total of nine elders and dozens of deacons to the mountain together.
The first seat of the three sects also set off and headed to the nearby Fuling Mountain to wait for the results.
……
In Dayan Temple, Xuanye recited Buddhist scriptures as usual.
What is strange is that the old monk who has disappeared for half a month has returned, still full of alcohol, still holding a piece of leg meat in his hand, and stuffing it into Xuanye's hand.
Xuanye, who hadn't seen meat for a long time, looked at the meat, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but his heart was very calm, and he felt that he could eat it or not.
"There is progress in cultivation, but you are not a monk, so why not eat meat."
When Xuanye heard this, he took a bite, the aroma of meat spread in his mouth, and his heart also got a long-lost sense of satisfaction.
The old monk smiled and said, "Eating meat is like killing people, but the old monk is a precept for eating meat, and the donor is also a precept for killing?" ”
Xuanye's heart was suffocated, and the meat in his hand suddenly became less fragrant, and he looked at the old monk with a flurry of words. "Master, what do you mean by that?"
"Donor, the matter of Gujing Mountain, the poor monk is also there." The old monk stood with one hand and recited the Buddha's name.
Xuanye thought that he and the old monk were just meeting by chance, but he didn't expect that the other party was also in Gujing Mountain, but why didn't he find out. "Please also ask the master to guide the maze."
The old monk laughed a few times and pointed to Xuanye's heart, "Everyone knows that the king of Jizo, hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha." But they don't know that this is a great wish, and if the wicked are not removed, they will not be empty. There is no end to evil, and there is no end to killing. ”
"The donor is a human being, and he can eat meat. Poor monks are human beings, so why can't they eat meat? Is it a precept? Is it mind cultivation? Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. If you want to be empty, you need to ask your heart. ”
Xuanye touched his heart, as if he understood or not.
The old monk said: "If the donor can really understand it, he will know that meat is not meat, people are not human, Tao is not Tao, demons are not demons, killing is not killing." The demon that the donor wants to get rid of is not a demon, it is you who gets rid of it! ”
With that, he staggered out the door again.
Xuanye stood in place, the words of the old monk kept echoing in his mind, and before he knew it, the night passed.
"Donor, it's time for you to go down the mountain." The monk guarding the door interrupted Xuanye's meditation.
He was stunned, "Down the mountain?" ”
The monk nodded, "This temple will soon retain guests, and Uncle Shi said that he is waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain." ”
Xuanye nodded, and did not pack his bags, and followed the monk out of the side door and down the mountain along the path.
After walking not far, he looked at the valley in the distance, and suddenly wanted to leave this place of seclusion, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart. After a moment's pause, we set off again and walked into the mountains and forests.
The mountains and forests are cold and silent in the early morning, with only one or two birdsong occasionally.
In the distance, the sky shines with clouds and shadows, and the spring water murmurs nearby.
A sense of emptiness poured into Xuanye's heart, as if he was the only one in the world.
After walking for a long time, I came to the valley mouth, and happened to meet the old monk barbecuing, so I hurriedly stepped forward and shouted "master".
The old monk raised his head, saw Xuanye at a loss, handed him a piece of meat, and suddenly laughed. "The scriptures refer to silence. Donor, have you realized the great silence preached by the poor monks? ”
Xuanye took a bite of meat, and was stunned when he heard this, "Great silence? Not the Great Brahma Heart Sutra? ”
"The Great Brahma Heart Sutra is internal strength, and it is useless for you. The Great Silence can help you overcome the demons in your heart. ”
As soon as the words fell, dozens of black shadows emerged from the forest.
Xuanye recognized at a glance that the clothes of these people were from the three sects, and found that he was weak, and immediately thought that it was a matter of meat.
He thought that the old monk was going to harm him, but he saw him stand up and block everyone with his body.
"Stinky monk, do you want to stop my Pen Spirit Sect? I'm not afraid that I'll destroy your Dayan Temple! Elder Qu, who was the leader, said sharply.
The old monk recited the Buddha's name, "Donors, can you listen to the words of the poor monk and let go of grievances, and that's it." ”
"Stinky bald donkey, I see you looking for death!" Elder Qu waved a palm, but was shocked back by the golden light on the old monk's body, and his face showed a look of horror.
This golden light, he had some impressions, and immediately reacted. "You're a wandering holy monk!"
Everyone exclaimed, but they didn't expect that the rumored wandering holy monk who killed thousands of demons with the power of one person was actually an old monk in rags!
"Amitabha Buddha is a poor monk. Donor, when is the time for retribution! ”
Although he knew the identity of the other party, Elder Qu also knew that if he could not complete the task, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave Fuling Mountain alive, so he said solemnly: "Master, this person is an evil demon, slaughtering my three sect disciples. We're here to catch the demons, so please don't stop you, Master! ”
"Amitabha, the donor of the night is a demon, and you are also a demon. The Xuanye benefactor killed the disciples of the three sects, and the disciples of the three sects killed the disciples of other sects, the resentment is endless, when will it end. ”
The old monk said, took off his robe, and said resolutely: "Since these sins need to be borne by someone, then the poor monk will make an end!" ”
"Master, what do you mean by that?" Elder Qu was already very annoyed just by listening to these mysterious words, and the old monk was still unrelenting, and the anger in his heart also came out.
"The sin of the donor of the night is borne by the poor monks. If he kills one, the poor monk will receive one palm, and if he kills ten people, he will receive ten palms. Donor, do it. ”
At this time, another elder surnamed Ye had a cold face and scolded: "One palm for one life, how can it be so cheap!" Besides, you have a golden body to protect your body, who can hurt you? ”
"Poor monks will not use their protective golden bodies to atone for their sins in the flesh. If I die, you can step over the corpse and continue to ask questions. If the poor monks resist, please disperse. ”
"Master!" Xuanye looked worried, and couldn't understand why the old monk wanted to do this for him.
But the other party has a large number of people, and there are as many as three people in the Chaos Period, and he can't do anything if he wants to run.
"Donor, this is your karma and the karma of the poor monks, don't forget what you said last night. Kill, not kill. The old monk looked calm and took a deep breath. Come on. ”
"Elder Qu, this old monk's cultivation is average, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold it even after dozens of palms." Elder Ye whispered. "We have more than a hundred disciples when we die, even if he is an immortal, he can't resist!"
Elder Qu thought about it, and felt justified, so he immediately bowed. "Master, offended!"
After that, the early stage of the mixed spirit slapped with all his strength and landed on the old monk.
His thin body bowed, a red mark appeared where he was hit, blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he smiled slightly. "Donor, please continue."
Elder Qu used his palm again, and with all his strength, he still didn't let the old monk take half a step back.
After more than 20 slaps in a row, the old monk's chest turned red, his mouth and nose were filled with spurting blood, and he still had a smile on his face. "Donor, please continue."
Elder Qu's arms were already numb, so he could only step back and replace him with another elder.
After more than 20 slaps, the old monk vomited more and more blood, but his feet seemed to be rooted in the ground, and he still did not take a step back.
Xuanye had already closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at them anymore, but the sound of impact in his ears made his heart twist like a knife.
It's obvious that he killed the person, why did he implicate the old monk?
If it weren't for the fact that his body was already weak, he would have rushed up to fight to the death with these people!
"Donor, Great Silence!"
When Xuanye heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at the old monk, but his pupils shrank, and the person standing in front of him was a bloody man, three feet tall, also covered in blood!
"Great, silent, extinguished!" The old monk spoke again, but it seemed a little difficult to speak.
After another slap, he finally took half a step back, and the depression in his chest left a palm mark half a finger deep!
The people of the three sects were also shocked when they saw it.
The old monk was slapped almost a hundred times, bleeding from his seven orifices, blinding both eyes, the skin and flesh on his chest had already been smashed, and his ribs had also been broken, revealing from the ulcers.
But he just doesn't fall, and he doesn't retreat!
"Elder Qu, there are still thirty-two palms. Or... The three of us are in action together! ”
Elder Qu frowned, and then looked at the old monk, that unyielding not only made him afraid, but also very angry!
"Let's get on it!"
As soon as the words fell, the three of them slapped their palms at the same time, and kept greeting the old monk.
The applause passed into Xuanye's heart, more like smashing it with a small hammer in his heart, hitting his soul directly.
He meditated on the Great Silence, but his heart couldn't calm down, but became more and more irritable, and the killing intent in his heart became stronger and stronger.
At first, there was some restraint, but as the formula became faster and faster, the applause in his ears became louder and louder, and the killing intent rushed to his head like a devil.
But this time, the demon blood did not riot!
"Tao is not Tao, people are not people, kill, not kill!"
Xuanye thought silently, as if he had touched a door in his heart, but he didn't find the key to open the door.
At this moment, after the last palm, the three elders were all panting, looking at the bloody man in front of them, and they were afraid.
A deep pit appeared in the old monk's chest, and flesh and bones were mixed together, like a ball of mud.
Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, an elder asked suspiciously, "Is he dead?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the old monk moved lightly and stood with one hand. "Amitabha!"
