Chapter 205: Customs, Don't Go to the West Heaven?
In front of the gate of the small city of the country of Us.
Yi Bai hid for the young man and the old woman to chase and kill.
He looked at the young man and the old woman to ask the reason for the matter.
Unexpectedly, the young man looked around blankly, watched the people run over in ignorance of them, and looked at the circle on the ground.
How can you still not understand.
This is a strange man in front of me.
"I, I...... Meet the Living Buddha!! ”
The young man knelt on the ground and threw himself to the ground.
"Bastard boy, what a living Buddha, this is a heavenly immortal, Tiangang Yuanchen is also!"
The black bear next to him sighed.
"Rest easy."
Yi Bai glanced at the black bear spirit, then at the young man and the old woman, and he stepped forward and helped the young man up.
"Mobai, I'm not a living Buddha, but I want to ask you, why are these people chasing you?"
Yi Bai asked kindly.
"God, god, because my father is dead, they want to kill my mother, I have no choice but to take my mother away."
The young man was stunned for a while, and then spoke.
"Your father is dead, why did they kill your mother? Because of the uneven distribution of inheritance in the family? ”
Yi Bai asked softly.
"It's not."
"Is that because of your father's last words?"
"It's not."
"What's the reason for that?"
Yi Bai didn't understand.
"God, the immortal, you shouldn't be from us."
The young man asked cautiously.
"Yes, I'm from the East."
Yibai admits frankly.
When the young man heard this, although he didn't know what the 'eastern soil' was, he still told Yi Bai the truth.
It turned out that the young man's name was 'Niwa', and he didn't have a surname, only a name, and it was said that most of the people here had names and no surnames.
According to Niva, it was their custom that when the father of a family died, the eldest son had to carry his mother out of the cliff and throw her away, and he could not live with his mother, otherwise it would be bad for the whole city.
This old woman was Niva's mother.
Niva is the third son of the old woman, and their father has recently died.
According to local custom, the old woman should have been thrown into the mountains by her son, but Niwa was grateful for her mother's care and ran away with her on her back.
How could the people of the city and the other sons of this mother be willing to think that if this mother did not die, their days would be over, so they pursued and slew Niva.
Yi Bai's brow furrowed after listening.
The black bear spirit on the side scolded and said: "I have never seen such a custom, there is such a custom, if the father of a family dies, he has to send his mother to die together, what kind of broken custom is this." ”
The black bear spirit was furious.
"God, god, please help me!"
Niva knew that he would not be able to hide if he could not get help from the strange man of Eber.
"This custom has indeed gone too far."
Yi Bai made an evaluation only after a half-loud sound.
"Yuanchen, what should we do?"
The Black Bear Spirit waited for Yi Bai's order.
"Let's go into the city first."
Yi Bai waved his hand and said.
"Immortals, we can't enter the city, we will definitely be discovered when we enter the city."
Niva burst into tears and shook her head.
"You go with them, leave me alone, I'm the ghost's wife, I deserve to die."
The old woman was numb and desperate.
Hearing this, the black bear spirit just looked at Yi Bai and did not make a statement.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Watch me cast a spell. ”
Eber ripped two pieces of cloth from Niva's ragged clothes to make Niva's clothes cooler.
He blew on the two pieces of cloth, and wrapped two pieces of cloth around Niva and the old woman, using an invisibility technique, so that Niva and the old woman all disappeared.
"This, this ......"
The black bear spirit was a little confused, looking at the emptiness in front of him, only to feel that Yi Bai's ability was getting stronger and stronger.
"I have cast a spell, and no eye can see you, but you can enter the city with us in peace."
Yi Bai said.
With his eyes, he could easily see Niva and the old woman.
Niva and the old woman couldn't see each other, and it was when they exclaimed.
Yi Bai looked at the two of them and exclaimed, knowing in his heart.
He only felt that his ability had indeed made great progress, and he seemed to have his own understanding of this kind of Taoism, and he could easily come to it.
All these changes seem to have started when his master, Emperor Dongyue, tapped his head three times.
was tapped on the head three times, as if it opened his mind, and made his head much clearer.
"Let's go, let's go into the city."
Yi Bai said.
Niva and the old woman were busy agreeing, panicking.
Yi Bai personally helped Niva meet the old woman, and asked Niva to carry the old woman on his back.
After everything is in order.
Eber then asked Niva to go into the city with him.
On the dirt road into the city.
The black bear spirit patted the ass again and again, praising Yi Bai's Taoism to the sky.
Yi Bai rolled his eyes, ignoring it.
He had just walked into the city.
A strange fragrance wafted in.
Yi Bai only felt a nose.
He looked intently to the side.
I saw three or four people holding a big iron pot, stewing something in the pot, and there were vague flesh and bones exposed.
"What kind of meat is this stew?"
Yi Bai vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"This is the eldest son of the Azhuo family, and he is stewing his family's son."
Niva stood behind with the old woman on his back, not daring to go over, and listened to Eber's question, and hastened to answer, as if he was slow to answer, he would be reprimanded.
"Stew, stew?"
Yi Bai was taken aback.
"Stewed eldest son? What kind of animal is the firstborn? ”
The black bear spirit is very calm.
"The eldest son is the first heir of the Azhuo family."
Niva explained again.
"Huh?? Stewed firstborn? Isn't that crazy! ”
The black bear spirit's eyes widened in disbelief, and the whole person jumped up.
This move made the passers-by next to him look at the two demons with strange eyes.
Yi Bai gently patted the black bear spirit on the shoulder to calm it down.
"Niva, this family, why do you want to stew his family's son?"
Yibai asked.
"This, isn't this a normal thing?"
Niva said cautiously.
"That's normal."
Yi Bai doesn't think it has anything to do with 'normal'.
"Our custom here is that the eldest son born in the family should be boiled and eaten, so that the second son can inherit the eldest son, and the family will be better."
Niva whispered.
"This ......"
When Yi Bai heard this, he only felt ridiculous.
How can this first city of the kingdom of Uss be so ridiculous?
The eldest son in the family is to be boiled and eaten, and when the father dies, the son is to throw away his mother.
This kind of custom is also ridiculous.
"Don't you think there's anything abnormal about such a custom?"
Yi Bai asked patiently.
"It's been like this since time immemorial."
Niva explained in a whisper.
"Then why did you save your mother?"
Yibai asked again.
"It wasn't easy for my mother to raise me, and I couldn't bear it."
Niva replied.
"Since you can't bear it, why don't you think about it, how can others bear it?"
Yibai said.
"God, gods, what about others, I really can't care, I just can't bear my mother to die like this."
Niva said again.
Hear me.
Yi Bai was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly changed, like Hong Zhong Dalu.
This may be the difference between Hinayana and Mahayana Buddhism.
Theravada Buddhism, like Niva, struggles in the sea of suffering, trying to get out of it and achieve self-transcendence.
Mahayana Buddhism is to see sentient beings struggling in the sea of suffering, feel compassion, and sacrifice their own safety to save sentient beings in the sea of suffering.
In fact, Mahayana Buddhism is not Buddhism in the true sense of the word, it is a kind of determination, a kind of determination that is fearless and bold.
King Jizo Bodhisattva made a grand wish, hell is not empty, and he vows not to become a Buddha.
Another example is the Emperor Dongyue, who has a body of ten thousand gold, working hard for the heavens and the earth, without regrets.
Another example is that the thunder of the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan universalized Tianzun, and he once said that he had to hear his name, but he meditated on it as a thought, so that the person who called the name was satisfied.
Again, this is an ambition.
All the great gods actually have their own ambitions.
All the great gods can be regarded as having attained Mahayana Buddhism.
Mahayana Buddhism is just a kind of determination, the name doesn't matter at all, if you are happy, you can call it Mahayana Taoism, Mahayana can be a certain method.
He traveled westward to find the right path for the demons of the world, and the road was at his feet.
After thinking about it, Yi Bai bowed to Niva silently and thanked him in his heart.
Because of his words and wake up, it should be a worship.
Niva stood in confusion.
"Today is coming, then it is time to sweep away the old habits and sweep out a new way for the villagers here."
Yi Bai said.
"Yuanchen, what should we do?"
The Black Bear Spirit asked.
"You don't need to enter this city first, and when I see the lord of this Uth country, Zilujun, I beg you to take Niva to other cities in the Usi country to help him settle down, and then come to the Usi country to find me."
Yi Bai said.
"Yes, please be careful."
The black bear spirit agreed.
Yi Bai gave Niva a few more words, and advised him to settle down and serve his old mother.
After explaining, Yi Bai let the black bear spirit leave.
After watching the black bear spirit leave, he looked to the west again.
He suddenly felt that in fact, Lingshan, whether he went or not was not very important.
The real Mahayana Buddhism may not be the scriptures of Lingshan.
Lingshan does not go, but the westward journey continues.
Yi Bai's eyes were deep, looking to the west, where was the great sun about to fall......
