Chapter 13 All beings are equal
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Qin." Only then did Meng Longtan notice that he had broken away from the shadow wall.
"How long have you been in this shadow wall? I just saw you at the Asgard feast." Qin Yuelou teased Meng Longtan.
Meng Longtan was very awake, knowing that everything in the painting wall was unreal, and after seeing Qin Yuelou, he knew that he should have returned to reality.
"Although I am like a fish in water, I have also found that people are still too small." Meng Longtan said as if he had a big realization, "For the past ten or twenty years, I have been working hard to gain fame, but after this incident, I found that the lifespan of a human being is just like a mayfly to a human being, we are just a group of mayflies dying in the twilight of life, if only we could live forever."
"There are indeed many people who want immortality, but isn't immortality a punishment?" Qin Yuelou said.
"Why is immortality a punishment?" Meng Longtan asked Qin Yuelou puzzled.
"After a hundred years, everything will be lost, whether it is your relatives or your enemies, all of them will die in a limited life, even if you have eternal life? When you don't match your mood and you have immortality, you can only watch all the people and things in the past grow old, and even if you form a new intimate relationship, you can't escape the passage of time." Qin Yuelou said.
Meng Longtan opened his mouth, but closed it anyway, because this was indeed a punishment.
"Okay, it's time for us to leave, let's just let this shadow wall stay here." Qin Yuelou looked at the shadow wall.
It was this glance that made Qin Yuelou discover an abnormal scene in the shadow wall.
A picture began to emerge from the center of the shadow wall, it was a burly man with his back to Qin Yuelou, the man was sitting on top of the corpse mountain, and there was a sword in his hand.
In front of the man with his back to Qin Yuelou, there were mountains of corpses, and most of the people who made up the corpse mountains were some strange-shaped demons and monsters, and there were occasionally human limbs mixed in them.
It is said to be a sword, but it does seem to be a sword from the shape, but the sword seems to have been peeled off the paint, revealing the wooden body under the sword.
That is to say, this man just used the wooden sword in his hand to create this mountain of corpses in this shadow wall illusion, and not far away was the endless sea of blood Jingguan.
The sky in the shadow wall seemed to be dyed red with blood, and the tone of the whole painting was an oppressive and terrifying dark red, which was full of murderous intent and murderous dark red.
Then, the man with his back to Qin Yuelou turned his head.
The rugged face was full of stubble, the temples were white, he was about a year old, he was wearing a coarse linen clothes, and after a plain glance at Qin Yuelou, the uncle with a wooden sword appeared in front of Qin Yuelou.
Unconsciously, Qin Yuelou drew his sword and faced the wooden sword uncle.
There is no other reason, although the murderous intent was locked into the burly body of his own body by this uncle, but the killing intent that was not triggered still made Qin Yuelou inevitably have an instinctive reaction to draw his sword and confront him.
His perception was better than Meng Longtan's, Meng Longtan was just suppressed by the suppressed aura, and he didn't dare to make any moves, but Qin Yuelou could sense the murderous aura like a sea of blood.
Angzang's uncle glanced at Qin Yuelou indifferently, and Qin Yuelou found that his body was as if he was being watched by a sea of blood.
"Who are you?" Uncle Angzang asked Qin Yuelou.
"In the next... Peng Yuyan." Qin Yuelou held his sword and looked at this uncle.
"Well, I can't see it, it's a good seedling, but your sword is not sharp enough." The uncle looked at Qin Yuelou and commented simply.
"Who are you?" Qin Yuelou also asked.
"It has nothing to do with you, let me ask you, what year and month is it?" The uncle asked Qin Yuelou, and in a blink of an eye, he came to Qin Yuelou.
Pushed Qin Yuelou's sword into the scabbard.
And Qin Yuelou didn't even notice it, but this uncle was just a simple hand, that is, even Meng Longtan saw this uncle's action of pushing the sword into the sheath.
"It's the thirty-third year of Dajing Peiding."
"Oh, it doesn't seem like I spent much time in that wall." Uncle nodded, "That's the case, but there's nothing to say, don't leave it at that, boy, practice your sword well, maybe you can kill me then, or I will kill you, after all, you are not even qualified to die at my hands now."
After the uncle glanced at Qin Yuelou, he said seriously, and then left with the wooden sword.
Qin Yuelou was stunned when she heard what this uncle said, but she was also thinking in her heart, "This person can't be a psychopath, right?"
Although it is a small episode, Qin Yuelou can also see that the strength of this great man is also very strong, even stronger than himself who is now standing on the road.
didn't take this matter to heart, Qin Yuelou took Meng Longtan back to Hailun Temple, and after returning to the guest room, Qin Yuelou was ready to leave with Shanjun.
After all, Xiao Huangshu's goal has been achieved, so there is no need to stay too long, but before leaving, Qin Yuelou is ready to meet the abbot of this Hailun Temple.
It is not clear whether the abbot of Hailun Temple is a high-ranking monk or not, but this abbot is obviously capable, after all, the shadow wall was brought back by the abbot.
Just as Qin Yuelou was about to summon the little novice and say that he was going to see the abbot, the little novice came to inform Qin Yuelou in advance.
"Donor, our abbot said he wanted to see you and talk to you about the sky."
I have to say that the timing of the little novice was very coincidental, and then Qin Yuelou and the little novice went to the meditation room where the abbot was.
Qin Yuelou was just about to knock on the door, the door opened by itself, and the old monk in the meditation room was wearing a gray monk's robe with white hair and a lot of patches.
The earlobes were huge and drooped over the shoulders, the beard hung down on the monk's robe, even the eyebrows, but the top of the head was bare, and there were nine ring scars.
"Master Qin, right?" The old monk smiled slightly, "The old monk dreams of shifting, the golden leaf you gave that day is full of merit light, and when I see you in person today, it is really a dazzling golden light of merit, it seems that the demons you have killed will be ruined in the future or cause disaster."
"This dream... Uh, Master Dream Shift, I'm curious, how do you see that?" Qin Yuelou was a little interested and asked Master Mengyi.
"For I see cause and effect in you, but I see cause and effect." Master Dream Shift seems to have said something nonsense.
"What do you mean by that?"
"The so-called equality of all beings, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, has similar thoughts, and this equality of all beings can also be extended to cause and effect, all beings are equal, and I can't see the cause and effect of your past life in you." Master Mengyi was kind and kind-eyed, and said kindly,
"Whether it is chickens, ducks, fish and shrimp, cattle and sheep, there is also cause and effect, where the evil cause was planted in the previous life, there may not be retribution in the present life, but this evil result is inherited in the next life, so those cattle, sheep, fish, fish, and shrimp are eaten by people, they are all cause and effect in the underworld, but you have no cause and effect in your previous life, this is strange, although I can see this cause and effect, but like you, this is the first time I have seen it, even if it is a good person in ten lifetimes, there will be evil causes and evil effects, but your cause and effect are all only reflected in this life."
"Why do good people in the tenth world also have evil causes and evil consequences?" Qin Yuelou was puzzled.
"Unintentional words create intentional guesses in others, and the subsequent consequences are evil, then this unintentional words are evil causes; The same is true for unintentional faults, in the final analysis, all people in this world have cause and effect, even the most heinous wicked people will create good results because of unintentionality, but whether this good result can make them put down the butcher's knife is another matter, so all beings are equal."
"But I don't understand, why can a wicked person put down a butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot?"
"Because the meaning is misunderstood, child, do you know what this 'butcher' knife means?"
"A murderous knife?"
"The so-called 'butcher's knife' refers to malice, evil words, evil deeds, and all delusions, delusions, confusions, reversals, separations, and attachments, and these are the 'butcher's knives', because the 'butcher's knife' is in the hand, so it creates evil causes and evil effects, if no one in the world has this' butcher's knife
Isn't that why everyone is a Buddha?"
"But there are so many people in the world, how can they all put down their butcher knives?"
"Then there are small good and great good, so that when there are fewer evil causes and evil effects, there will be only good causes and good effects left, and when the overall cause and effect are in a good state, then the evil cause and evil effect will become smaller and smaller.
When everybody is kind, that's when everybody is a Buddha."
Well, well said, wonderful, but too idealistic.
"Okay, master, what you said is right, but I still don't understand something, your thoughts are so profound, why do you want to make a whole out of karma money?"
"Haha, kid, did you think I was a fake monk with a copper smell at first?" Monk Mengyi stroked his beard and laughed.
"Not really." Qin Yuelou also smiled.
"To be a clean official, you have to be more female than a corrupt official; If you want to do good, you must be more ruthless than the wicked." Master Mengyi said, "Do you know that in Dajingli, there are still many children in mountain villages who cannot get out of the mountains in their lives, and even if they do, they can only engage in lower-class occupations in the bustling capital? Before that, we will also contact people with lofty ideals to build a school for children in the mountains, at least so that children can read and write, although children may not be able to gain fame, but when they have ink in their stomachs, they will have a clearer understanding of the world."
Qin Yuelou listened to Master Mengyi's words, and couldn't help but be in awe, isn't this the Hope Project?
Then Master Dream Shift said.
"Child, do you know that in the past, there were some places where there was no harvest due to drought and flood? Most people don't know about these things, and although the imperial court also provides disaster relief in time, there will still be people who can't eat enough after all, so the silver money exchanged for these karmic money is used to exchange for food, and then we take the food with the imperial court to provide disaster relief, although the Dajing Law has strict orders, those who embezzle disaster relief food funds are killed, but these grain funds will still make some people take risks, just to satisfy their own desire for profit, regardless of the life and death of the people, our temple is small, and we can only contact more good people to help the vast number of people affected by the disaster to survive this catastrophe."
Qin Yuelou listened to the words of Master Dream Shift, and what the six ears heard was completely true, this Master Dream Shift was really a monk of great virtue.
So Qin Yuelou also sat upright, listening to Master Mengyi continue to speak.
"Child, the reason why I don't want your gold leaf is also because I saw the golden light of merit after your gold leaf was passed, and the karma money I collected was all evil causes and evil effects, and the karma money was originally for karma, although it also passed through our hands, but if we used it to do actual good deeds, those evil causes and evil effects would also be weakened, so it was called karma, the good people need to wake up, the wicked also need to redeem, and those who can hand over the karma money are often either afraid in their hearts, or they really have the heart to repent, no matter what, It's all a good thing, but it's just that the people who have been harmed by it in the past have suffered, but this is also something that can't be helped, because all beings are equal under cause and effect."
"I see." Qin Yuelou understood Master Mengyi, and then took out a large pile of gold leaves from his arms, "Master, this is a little bit of my care, please accept it, and let me make some contributions to those children."
"Child, it's really good that you have this heart, so I'll accept it unceremoniously." Master Mengyi also smiled, and there was no excuse, the hand that collected the money was extremely fast, but there was no trace of these gold leaves in his eyes.
"Master Mengyi, your kindness is admirable, but I still like to kill when I encounter evil, so that I can be happy, otherwise the anger in my heart will not be eliminated." As if thinking of something, Qin Yuelou said.
"What should you do if you do evil unintentionally or intentionally?" Master Dream Shift asked rhetorically.
"Then I will be a partaker of sin."
"When is the time for retribution? Do more good deeds, child, but it would be nice to be flexible when things happen, and if you really meet those whose sins are unforgivable, it is not incomprehensible that the Buddha also has fire." Master Dream Shift laughed.
"Oh yes, Master, the shadow wall..." In this way, in this way, in this way, Qin Yuelou reconciled the things in the shadow wall with the things in the back
He took it out, and then asked Master Mengyi, "Who is that Angzang Han?" Master, do you have any clue?"
"He, too, is a poor man, bent on power, so that he may... I have tried to persuade him many times not to go astray, but... The obsession is too deep for Duhua to be."
"The master seems to know him." Qin Yuelou asked Master Dream Shift.
"Thirty years ago, the peerless swordsman was uneven, but it was a later thing, I don't want to say, at that time I also had several relationships with that uneven, at that time, I often held a small book, and asked others if they had seen the demons and monsters on the page, but who would have thought..."
「··· Master of Dream Shift··· Does the little book you are talking about look like this one?" When Qin Yuelou heard this, she took the little yellow book out of her arms.
"I can't say that I don't look like it, I can only say that it's exactly the same, it's just that the demons and monsters in it are different." After carefully studying the little yellow book, Master Dream Shift said, and at the end, Master Dream Shift muttered to himself,
"This may... It's the providence of cause and effect."
