Chapter 583: The Farmer and the Snake

At the mention of his father, Yu Jie's heart suddenly chuckled, and he smiled reluctantly: "You don't have to scare me, what can my father do? As long as I obediently obey the order, the king of Jizo will certainly not do anything to my father. ”

Xuanzang said softly: "Even if you don't listen to the order, King Jizo won't do anything to your father." ”

Hearing this, Fei Jie was slightly stunned, and turned her head to look at Xuanzang with difficulty.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Isn't it?" Xuanzang spread his hands and said: "The king of Jizo has never even said that he has blocked the poor monk from learning scriptures, so what reason is there to take action against the donor's father? From beginning to end, what the donor knows, I'm afraid it is not what the king of Jizo himself said." Even if you really let the donor take revenge on your father, at most, you don't stop it in advance, and you don't pursue it afterwards, and you will never really help the donor. On the contrary, if the donor is really successful in this trip, the life of the poor monk is not worth mentioning, but the great sage, I am afraid it will not be so easy to give up. ”

Yu Jie stared at Xuanzang with half-squinted eyes for a while, closed her eyes and said, "You don't have to scare me. Besides, it's useless for you to scare me, my father's soul is in the other party's hands, and I will never gamble with my father. ”

Xuanzang didn't answer, and the two stayed quietly.

After another hour or so, it was completely dark.

The waves on the river crashed against the levees they had built, making a loud noise.

In the night, when you can't see your fingers, the monkeys on the river beach can't even see clearly.

During this period, several people came a few times. The little white dragon came to see Yu Jie's injury, and left without saying a few words. The black bear spirit came to remind Xuanzang that there would be six more hours at most. It's going to be completely submerged.

Time passed bit by bit. There are accumulations lĂŹ. Some polished their weapons, and several other people had already begun to prepare for war, but Xuanzang still looked calm. But he was nervous.

Indeed, as Xuanzang said, it is not only the westbound team that is now in a predicament, but also includes Yongjie himself.

The dilemma of the westbound team is difficult to break, is it easy to break it?

The soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe is in the underworld. The underworld is under the jurisdiction of the King of Jizo, even if the King of Jizo really won't make a move against the Dragon King of Jinghe, what about the others?

As the saying goes: "Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult." ”

Although it is impossible for the King of Jizo to say that he wants to make the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe fly away and take revenge on Yong Jie, as long as there is a ghost around the King of Jizo who sees through this mind and wants to rob this merit and please this, will anyone stop it?

Just a ghost, a Yama, or a demon king. Obtain the permission of the king of Jizo to enter and leave the underworld freely, and want to snuff out a soul. Isn't it a matter of getting caught?

Once the dragon jie really helped the westbound team to lift the spell, even if the king of Jizo did not make a move, it could basically be concluded that the dragon king of Jinghe was more than lucky.

It is precisely because of this that no matter how many punishments she receives, she always clenches her teeth and does not let go. Because once he let go, the Jinghe Dragon King was the result of his soul flying away.

But even if it happens, will everything be fine?

The temper of this great saint is well known to everyone in the Three Realms, and the reason why he dared to come was because of the relationship between the West Sea Dragon Palace, even if he wanted to retaliate, he should not have to worry about his life. On the other hand, it was because his father's soul was in the hands of the other party that Fei Jie had to come.

However, once he succeeds, avenges his father, and spoils the major events of the westward journey, how will this great saint retaliate?

After a night of torture, Jie Jie didn't dare to think about it.

Before, I didn't think too much about it, but now I am lying quietly here, but I don't dare to think about it.

Because, this great saint is not the kind of person he imagined at the beginning.

This demon king who has achieved the way of heaven not only does not have the elegance of a great immortal, but has a face like a hooligan in the market, more like a villain than other monsters. He was able to torture himself, and he was never tired of it, and for six or seven hours, he tirelessly saved himself repeatedly, and repeatedly came up with all kinds of strange tricks to torture himself......

Such a person may be the only one in heaven and earth.

After all-night torture, the current dragon jie fully believed that even if he was not killed, once he was retaliated, this peerless demon king would definitely make his whole family worse than death.

Because, he is such a person.

For this, Jie Jie is now convinced.

However, at this point, is there still a way for him to retreat?

Thinking of this, Fei Jie couldn't help but smile helplessly.

The way back should be that I didn't save zĂ i from the beginning. He just had no choice at all, from beginning to end, he was just a puppet pulling strings.

For himself, the best outcome now may be that things can be done smoothly, and this Monkey King did not anger his father's soul.

But is there really such a good thing in this world?

Somehow, Fei Jie suddenly said to Xuanzang: "Master Xuanzang, that ...... If possible, can you intercede for my father, so that the Great Sage will not be angry with him?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"That is, help me persuade the Great Sage not to anger my father. If you want to kill or chop, you will come at me, and even if my soul is scattered, I will not complain. Saying that, Yu Jie suddenly smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I just asked casually, if you don't agree, forget it." ”

With that, he slowly closed his eyes.

After a short silence, Xuanzang smiled faintly and said, "After this incident, if nothing happens, the Great Sage will not be angry." If something happens, the poor monk is afraid that he has already died, so how can he persuade the great sage?"

Yu Jie hurriedly opened her eyes and asked, "If you don't die, will you agree?"

Xuanzang slowly turned his face sideways and looked at Yong Jie.

The two looked at each other silently.

Jie Jie's eyes widened slightly, full of anticipation.

Xuanzang's face was indifferent and thoughtful.

After a long time, Xuanzang said softly: "Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, if the poor monk is still alive, he must admonish the great sage." ”

"Really......? You're trying to make it conditional on me unlocking the spell?"

"The donor is willing?"

She didn't answer.

After staring at each other silently for a long time, Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said lightly: "The donor thinks about the safety of Lingzun's soul. He refused to unravel the spell. This is understood by the poor monks. Even so. If the poor monk has the opportunity, he will still persuade the great sage. But don't worry. ”

Saying this, a surprised smile suddenly appeared on Dai Jie's face.

When he made this request, he just said it casually, but he never expected that Xuanzang would agree.

What is this?

He was the one who came to ask for the monk's life, but he actually agreed to his request so lightly, and there were no conditions attached, not even any intention of bargaining.

How did this bald donkey's brain grow?

Or rather. His sanctimony is just a pretense, but in fact he wouldn't do it?

Jie really couldn't figure it out.

The two were silent again.

After a long time, seeing the confusion on Feijie's face, Xuanzang said softly: "Donor, the poor monk will tell you a story, okay?"

"Master, please speak. ”

Xuanzang shook his sleeves and said slowly: "One winter, a farmer picked up a frozen snake on the road. In order to save the snake, he put the snake in his arms and warmed it. But wait until the serpent is fully awake. but it bit the farmer. ”

"The story of the farmer and the snake?"

Xuanzang nodded slightly: "The donor has heard of it?"

Yu Jie said slowly: "When I was a child, my father told me. It is said that we must distinguish between right and wrong, and we must not be merciful to the wicked. Otherwise, you will only suffer from it. ”

Speaking of this, Fei Jie suddenly smiled: "Father must not have thought that his son did not become a farmer in the end, but became the snake......

After a slight pause, he stared at Xuanzang and said solemnly: "Master, what you want to say, Yu Jie understands." But the soul of his father is in the underworld, and he should be filial to the son of man, and he should not be a snake, and he has long been unable to be clean. ”

"No, the donor didn't get it. ”

"Huh?"

"The poor monk wondered, if he knew it was a snake, wouldn't he take it into his arms?"

"Huh?"

Yong Jie was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xuanzang with a little surprise. For a moment, I was stunned.

Seeing that Xuanzang was puzzled, Xuanzang continued: "What qualifications does the poor monk have, and what ability does he have to predict whether the other party is a snake or not? If snakes bite more people, will people eat fewer snakes? For the sake of their own safety, it seems right to fight back. ”

"Any person, any living being in the Three Realms, must have his own reason for doing anything. If he thinks it's wrong, he certainly won't do it. After a slight pause, Xuanzang continued: "If everyone is worried that the other party is a snake, who else will be willing to think about others? If the poor monk wants to preach, if even the poor monk doesn't have the courage to take the snake into his arms, then what qualifications does the poor monk have, and what is the possibility of attaining the Great Dao?"

It took a while for Xuanzang to understand Xuanzang's logic, and said with a slight mockery: "You are like this, how many lives are enough to be bitten by a snake?"

Shaking his head, Xuanzang sighed softly: "The poor monk traveled west to learn scriptures, to argue, and to preach. But how can this Tao be proven? How can it be that the Buddha went to the West Heaven to argue the Dharma, and if he won the debate, he would be the Tao? If this is the case, the poor monk should have preached the Tao long ago before he was reincarnated, and there is no need for the reincarnation of the ten lifetimes. ”

Jie Jie's brows furrowed slightly.

"How does the donor think this way of Pudu should be proven?"

"How to preach? It should be...... Epiphany?"

Xuanzang shook his head and said, "If you prove your own way, be reasonable, know the destiny of heaven, and have an epiphany." To prove the way of Pudu, but it is not. Illumination is not enough to benefit sentient beings. ”

"So what?"

Taking a deep breath, Xuanzang said: "To prove this way, you must be enlightened by all beings. When the farmer does not doubt the snake, and the snake does not doubt the farmer, this can be proven. ”

"Then how can we make sure that the farmer does not suspect the snake, and the snake does not doubt the farmer?"

"There has to be a farmer to take the snake into his arms. ”

"What should I do if I am bitten to death?"

"I'll do it again in the next life. ”

"Bite to death again. ”

"Again. ”

"Is there such a stupid farmer in this world?"

Hearing this, Xuanzang smiled. Laughing so much that Jie Jie was a little panicked.

Raising his head, Xuanzang said slowly: "Actually, the poor monk should thank the donor." Along the way, the poor monk did a lot of things, and his original intention was to prove the way of Pudu. But how to prove this way, the poor monk was puzzled. Until yesterday, he met the benefactor, which made the poor monk wake up. ”

After a slight pause, Xuanzang continued: "If the farmer doesn't save the snake, there is a farmer's reason." There is also a reason for snakes to bite farmers. Last night, the poor monk could have opened his mouth to admonish the great sage, but he didn't, because the poor monk had a reason for being a poor monk. But in this way, the poor monk is already the farmer who will not save him when he sees death, or the poisonous snake that bites the farmer to death. Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you are all poisonous snakes, how can you talk about Pudu? Pudu can't, what's the use of traveling west? What's the use of leaving this stump? It's better to do good deeds in exchange for Ling Zun's health. ”

Jie opened her mouth slightly.

"Just now, the donor asked Xuanzang, 'Is there such a stupid farmer in this world?', and the poor monk's answer was, yes. Xuanzang looked at Yongjie with a smile, put his hands together and said, "If not, let the poor monk be the first farmer to influence the poisonous snake." ”

Hearing this, Ling Jie was suddenly dumbfounded, and his face was full of astonishment.

He wanted to open his mouth to mock the monk, who was very sick, but he couldn't say anything. Because at this moment, he is the poisonous snake that the farmer is about to take into his arms. (To be continued......)

PS: How should Xuanzang preach Pudu, this question, have you ever thought about it, almighty readers? I have to say that there are so many brain cells to die when writing this kind of article, it is much more difficult than fighting and killing, and it is a leapfrog challenge for soft-shelled turtles. Thank you for the reward of the air ball~ Late at night code words, suddenly saw the red, and suddenly felt a shock ~ Good night everyone.
