Chapter 295: Mind Cultivation
After a while, the monkey turned to hoarfrost.
Bai Shuang suddenly understood, and hurriedly took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it to the monkey with both hands.
A small sandalwood box with a brass lock that looks exquisite.
Taking the box, the monkey gently put it on the floor, pushed it towards the Jiao Demon King, and said softly: "This is for His Royal Highness the Demon King." ”
"Oh?" the Jiao Demon King reached out and picked it up, opening it. I saw that what appeared inside was a small bead that was crystal clear and emitted white fluorescence.
Layers of visible aura rose up, and even those who didn't understand it could see at a glance that this was a rare treasure.
"A little, just a small gift. The monkey whispered.
"Fu Yuanzhu?" the Jiao Demon King raised his eyes slightly.
"Uh. The monkey became more and more embarrassed, nodded and smiled, "The Demon King knows?"
The eyes widened and he looked at the Jiao Demon King.
Closing the box, the Jiao Demon King gently put it down, pushed it back in front of the monkey, and said, "There was once one, which is used for healing." ”
"Ever?"
"Yes, then I felt useless and threw it away. ”
Hearing this, the corners of the monkey's mouth couldn't help twitching.
The white frost and Yanxi on the side were also shocked.
Giving a gift should be considered a kindness, right? And then the other party directly tells you that he has used it, and also says that the thing is useless and has been thrown away......
What does this mean? And this gesture seems to mean not to accept this gift.
The monkey felt like he was running out of brains.
It stands to reason that even a person as willful as a monkey would not say such a thing in front of a potential ally. Unless you deliberately want the other party to understand, you kick it to the iron plate.
However, didn't the Jiao Demon King just stand by himself? Even if it was true that he was selfless in helping the monkey, it wouldn't be too much for the monkey to give some gifts, right?
This......
After a long while, he probably saw the embarrassment of the monkey, and the Jiao Demon King sighed lightly and said, "General, do you want to get closer to this king?"
"Huh?" the monkey didn't react.
"This king means to ask, is the general because of the pressure from the Bull Demon King in the court, he thinks that he should have a helper, and wants to get closer to this king, or even form an alliance?"
"Uh...... Right. The monkey looked stunned, but nodded dryly.
This negotiation method is also terrifying to Yanxi on the side.
Taking a deep breath, the Jiao Demon King said softly, "In the court, the Red Dragon Army does not form an alliance with anyone. However, if the general is interested in making this king a friend, he can move around more. Gifts, let's get rid of them. I heard that the general has close contacts with the dragon clan, and if you put it with the general, you can sell it for some money. If you put this king on your side, it will be a waste. Everyone's military spending is not generous, so let's take it back and sell it for military salaries. ”
With that, the Jiao Demon King looked at the monkey with a smile.
What does this mean by send-off?
The monkey didn't know how to take the next sentence, hesitated for a long time, and simply said hard: "The demon king is in the court, does he really need allies?"
"No, you don't. ”
"Isn't the enemy of my enemy a friend?"
The Jiao Demon King asked, "Do you think that the Bull Demon King is the enemy of this king?"
The monkey asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?"
Suddenly, the small hall fell silent.
The two looked at each other silently.
After a while, the Jiao Demon King said softly: "Perhaps, he regarded this king as an enemy, and this king did not treat him as an enemy." ”
"Huh...... What about your old grudges? They say you're an undying enemy. ”
"That's all in the past. ”
"Can this happen?" the monkey frowned, bewildering and bewildered.
The Jiao Demon King also seems to be a walker, can the walker be able to endure the revenge of killing his wife? Anyway, the monkey doesn't believe it.
As if seeing the doubts in the monkey's heart, the Jiao Demon King sighed lightly, and then said: "Originally, this king really wanted to fight with him. For this reason, he even went off the rails and practiced some spells that should not be cultivated. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the qualifications of the Bull Demon King are not worse than this king, and the qualifications are deeper than this king. But if he stands in front of Ben King, Ben King is sure to defeat him in fifty rounds. But ......"
"But?" the monkey raised an eyebrow slightly.
"But everything comes at a price. Some exercises cannot be cultivated, so there is naturally a reason why they cannot be cultivated. This king once went mad. ”
"Huh?"
"Otherwise, why do you think this king wants to cultivate Buddha?" As he spoke, the Jiao Demon King stretched out his hand and showed the Buddha beads in his hand: "After cultivating the Buddha, the anger in my heart dissipated, and gradually, I thought about it." Just like the exercises of this king's cultivation of deviations, everything has a price. The Bull Demon King killed his father and sister, and naturally there is a price. ”
"At what cost?"
"The price of the heart. The Jiao Demon King lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said: "To this day, he is still in fear all day long, always on guard, for fear that this king will suddenly make a move." Even against the Nantianmen Army this time, he always kept an eye on the movements of the Huangsha Division, and when he set up the formation, he also deliberately left a defensive line between the two armies. Why? Isn't it just that he is afraid that this king will hide in the army and find an opportunity to attack him? The longer he lives, the heavier the price will be. Even if this king now says that he will no longer seek revenge, you may be able to believe it, but he will not dare to believe it no matter what. ”
The monkey, the white frost, and Yanxi listened quietly, and looked at the Jiao Demon King quietly.
Staring at the empty ground in front of him, the Jiao Demon King sighed softly: "Everything has cause and effect, cause and effect, and the cycle is endless. In this world, there is not so much to complain about. It's better to settle for nature. ”
"But. Yanxi, who had never spoken, couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Buddhism incapable of kill......ing?" Killed a lot, right?"
Looking at Yanxi, the Jiao Demon King said: "Cultivating Buddha, cultivating is the heart." If there is no killing intent in your heart, you are killing, not killing. ”
At this moment, the monkey, Yanxi, and Baishuang were all stunned, and looked at the Jiao Demon King blankly.
If you pick up the butcher's knife, you are a demon king, and if you put down the butcher's knife, is it a monk?
The Jiao Demon King suddenly answered: "Do you want to stay and eat food?"
"Huh?" the monkey said as if awakened, "...... It's good. Anyway, the last general is also a vegetarian. ”
"That's fine. The Jiao Demon King nodded and said, "You don't have to worry too much about the affairs in the court." As long as you do right, this king will be on your side. But if you have selfish intentions and are like them, don't blame this king for stepping on it. As for whether it is an alliance or not, it does not make much sense. There is no need to bother to give gifts to this king. Those who practice Buddhism must have no desires and no desires. ”
The monkey smiled helplessly, thought about it, and said, "However, there is still something unclear about the last general. ”
"Speak. ”
"The last general doesn't understand the demon king very well, why do you continue to be this demon king. It's really like what the Demon King said, why don't you just quit the king, retire to the mountains and forests, and the ancient Buddha with green lights?"
When these words came out, Yanxi and Baishuang were taken aback, but it was the Jiao Demon King who didn't care.
"Because this king has an oath to His Majesty, and this king swears allegiance to His Majesty, and this is something that must be done. In his position, he must have to do his job, which is the blessing of the common people. Moreover, killing, you can also stop killing, and there is no conflict between being a demon king and cultivating Buddha. ”
During the meal, the monkey chatted a lot with the Jiao Demon King.
The Red Dragon Army of the Jiao Demon King is a completely different force. Not only the Jiao Demon King, but the entire army, from top to bottom, can be said to be ascetics.
Fasting, abstinence, and even abandoning everything that can be associated with pleasure. So, the monkey didn't see any magnificent buildings, everything was rudimentary, plain. Even here, almost all of them come and go on foot, except in connection with military affairs, and no one can be seen flying, and no one is performing any spells.
At first glance, it really looks like a small fishing village.
However, such a force, spending the least amount of military spending in the demon country, has the strictest discipline, and at the same time, there are few defeats, and even the Jiao Demon King, as the leader, is known as the undefeated god of war of the demon country.
In the night, when the monkeys boarded the battleship and prepared to leave, they could not recover from their senses.
"This soldier ...... I can understand that he eats fasting and recites Buddha by himself, but ...... Let the soldiers eat fasting and recite the Buddha together, and live a hard life, how can this still have such a strong fighting force? Is there something he is hiding from us?"
As he spoke, the monkey looked at Yanxi and White Frost.
Both of them are confused, and they can't say why.
