Chapter 229: Sha Wujing's Decision
Wujing was not fully convinced: "Are you saying that it was the king who persecuted the monks, not you who provoked them?" ”
"My three brothers are bent on goodness and can only dissuade, so how can they provoke the king to persecute the monks?" The three of them hurriedly explained.
"Since you are bent on goodness, how can you watch these monks being exhausted and starved to death?"
Wujing discovered the fallacy.
"We didn't watch them starve to death, we worked hard to keep them! The king's intention was to starve all these monks to death on the construction site, but we couldn't bear it, so we provided them with a lot of food! ”
"Huh?"
Seeing Lingbao Tianzun's questioning voice, Huli Daxian hurriedly explained:
"Master! Trust us! Those monks were not persecuted to death by us, and the little Taoist priests who took care of the monks were not our disciples, and we have worked very hard to protect those monks. ”
"I don't see that! Why don't you tell me how it's protected? ”
The more Wujing listened, the more confused he became.
"Master, those monks have been doing hard labor for five years, and it is true that a considerable number of them have died, but those who died deserve it!
In the first few decades, they used clever words to confuse the king, so that the king was rampant, collected a large amount of gold, silver and grain from the people, and sent them all to Lingshan. And constantly cast spells, so that the sky does not rain, only after the people and the king send offerings, will according to the number of offerings, the same amount of rain rain.
Over the decades, the country's livelihood has withered and the treasury has been empty.
In order to build temples, some monks coaxed the king to recruit remote soldiers, build temples and temples, and even encroached on the farmland around the temples.
In the end, the people had no land to plant, and all of them were yellow and thin, but the monks ate fat and strong, and in the end, they even stopped working and directly recruited the people to help them farm.
Before we arrived, the status of the monks was very high, and they could recruit farmers at will and work as coolies for them.
Just as the king now enslaves the monks! ”
"Is that true?"
"It's true! The monks who are still alive are all monks who have never done anything bad, and my three brothers have never cut off their food, and they will send a doctor to treat them when they are sick!
But the whole country's dislike for monks is deep-rooted, and we can't completely reverse it, even if we let those monks go, they won't be able to survive in Chechi country! ”
Wujing never expected this to be the case, although he had already used the delusion breaking technique, and he was very sure that what the three monsters said was true, but he still couldn't believe it.
After all, after Pingdingshan, he really devoted himself to the Buddha, and there was no trace of distraction to revere the Buddha.
Now it seems that he is wrong, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, for their own selfishness, for gold and silver, for faith, in order to compete for cultivation resources, they will not hesitate to compete, not only to kill the cultivators, but also to extend their vicious hands to the ordinary people. Not only to mutilate monsters, but also to mutilate all spirits!
For the sake of faith, for the sake of gold and silver, they even gave money to create a drought, just to increase the people's faith in them, and willingly gave everything they had.
But they didn't just kill the people, those flowers and trees, those insects, beasts, birds and fish, none of them were slaughtered in their thoughts!
After all, Wujing is a Da Luo Jin Immortal, and his mana is boundless, he didn't have the patience to continue to listen to the three monster Taoist priests, and directly shot out three divine rays to dissect their memories.
In just a short period of time, he saw the scene of the Tongtian Sect Master teaching spells, the thousand-year-old penance of the three people, the healing of animals in the mountains and forests, the introduction of rivers for the desert, and the heavy rain that rained on the Gobi Desert by casting spells, forming an oasis of thousands of miles.
I also saw the arhats glaring at King Kong angrily, reprimanding the three monsters who protected the living beings, and using their seemingly glorious Buddha light to beat the three monsters, covered with scaly wounds, and even cut off the antlers of the Luli Daxian with a treasure knife, cut off the paws of the Huli Daxian, and dragged off one of the hind legs of the Yangli Daxian.
I saw the desert all over Xiniu Hezhou, and the people who had been miserable for the first half a year.
Through the eyes of the three youkai, Wujing saw the Bodhisattvas and Vajras, stopped the priests of the Heavenly Court from raining, artificially created a large desert, and manifested in the oasis to accept the people's kneeling.
Tears flowed from his eyes, crying for the people in the world, angry at what the Buddha had done!
At this moment, he gave up the Mahayana Buddhist path of Rulai, sentence after sentence, savoring the Buddhist scriptures that Sanzang once sent.
At this moment, he truly became a disciple of Sanzang and enshrined Sanzang's creed as the supreme truth!
He looked at the three monsters who had been practicing penance for thousands of years, being beaten and oppressed, but who had always been dedicated to goodness, and his heart was full of emotion.
He said in a loud voice: "The three of you are not changed by suffering and misunderstanding, you are dedicated to goodness, and for hundreds of years, you have exerted blessings on all souls, and you are one step closer to the consummation of merit!" ”
Huli Daxian, Yangli Daxian and Luli Daxian just found out that Lingbao Tianzun had seen their memories for thousands of years, and their hearts were excited and emotional. Master, you can finally trust them completely!
Wujing looked at their pious eyes, silently sighed ashamed in his heart, thought about it, took out the golden pill given to him by his daughter king, cast a spell and sent it out.
On behalf of the Tongtian Sect Master, he rewarded the three apprentices: "The three of you have done a good job, and you are very happy to be the teacher, so I will give each of you a small gourd gold pill as a reward!"
In the future, you must make persistent efforts, maintain kindness, continue to save the suffering, and be born! ”
When the three people below heard this, they kowtowed three times excitedly and shouted thank you.
The three of them took the small gourd with both hands, and when they sniffed it gently, they felt the surging fatigue and charming longevity breath inside.
"There are three Nine-Turn Golden Pills, three Six-Turn Golden Pills and three Three-Turn Golden Pills in each gourd, you can take them yourself! Remember, eat less, refine more! ”
"Follow Master's teachings!"
"As a teacher, he is now located in Zixiao Palace, and he is practicing with many saints, and it is difficult to get a trip to the Three Realms in a thousand years." Wujing imagined himself as the master of the Tongtian Sect, and said to the three people below:
"This time, the Nether Realm happened to pass by here, and I saw your kindness and path-oriented heart, so I showed up. I am about to return to Zixiao Palace, and I have one last word of advice to you, to exhort the king, and to remove the monks from slavery!
Colleagues tomorrow there will be a holy monk from the Tang Dynasty, Master Sanzang, he is not like the Buddha on the Lingshan, he is a Buddha with a real good heart, you must treat him as a guest, but also help him admonish the king, promote the Buddhism of kindness, and assist him in governing the country with Taoism! ”
Although the three people below didn't understand why their master would help Buddhism, they didn't hesitate to accept it!
"For the teacher, I will give you a complete set of cultivation exercises to help you improve your cultivation and have greater ability to do good!"
