Chapter 734: You Can't Become a Buddha
"I can't escape, I can't let go. Can't escape, can't let go. Can't escape, can't let go of ......"
Under the shadow of the lonely lamp, Xuanzang held the hidden heart stone and muttered to himself. His eyes gradually dimmed, but his expression was full of helplessness. There was a panic.
There was an indescribable sadness in that scene.
For a moment, the monkey suddenly remembered the old white ape who had died in the Evil Dragon Pool...... The old white ape, who was obviously insignificant, but wanted to carry it on one shoulder, and in the end, his head was in a different place......
If he hadn't known that Xuanzang was a golden cicada in his previous life, the monkey would probably have doubted whether Xuanzang's previous life would have been him.
After a long time, the monkey smiled faintly and said, "Once upon a time, someone told me a story about Buddhism. ”
Hearing this, Xuanzang raised his eyes slightly and looked at the monkey quietly.
After a slight pause, the monkey continued, "The person who told this story is my eighth senior brother. A Buddha who came to cultivate the Tao after that, some inexplicable guys. ”
"The story goes like this: Once upon a time, there was a woman who was breastfeeding and eating while holding her newborn child, when a mosquito flew over and bit her neck, and she was immediately killed by a slap. After a while, she threw away the remaining scraps. Following the taste, a skinny wild dog ran over to eat, but she scolded him and stoned him away. ”
After that, the monkey watched Xuanzang quietly.
Xuanzang raised his head slightly and said softly: "So, the Buddha pointed to the woman and told the disciples: 'This woman has no idea that the mosquito she killed is the reincarnation of her mother, and the wild dog she killed is the reincarnation of her old father. And the child she held in her arms. It is indeed the reincarnation of her father-killing enemy whom she hates. ’”
"You know the story?"
"Every Buddhist, knows this story. Staring at the empty front, Xuanzang repeated in a reciting tone: "The Buddha used this story to warn his disciples. Don't kill. At the same time, it is also a metaphor for mortals with the naked eye and mortals, who do not distinguish between truth and falsehood. and, the bitterness of mortal earth. The Nothingness of Human Affection...... This is the way of Buddhism. ”
Speaking of this, Xuanzang smiled bitterly and said, "The Great Sage suddenly mentioned this story, did you understand it?"
"I didn't understand it, and I didn't have the time to read it. The monkey stretched his waist and said, "How can there be such idle time to ponder this and that like you all day long? I will starve, the tiger will eat me, and the hunter will kill me. Learn from a teacher. I have to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Heavenly Army, and I have to think of various ways to run Huaguo Mountain. Hey...... Thinking about these things seriously is far less fast than swinging a stick directly. Maybe before you think about it, you're already in a different place. It was my eighth senior brother Ling Yunzi who understood it. ”
"Oh, what did he say?"
The monkey sighed lightly: "He said." Buddhism can obviously stop this. sacrificed a woman's filial piety just to fulfill her supreme theory. He thought he couldn't do it, so he stopped practicing Buddhism and changed to the Tao. ”
Hearing this, Xuanzang was slightly stunned. After thinking about it for a long time, he sighed lightly: "Ling Yunzi, he is a wonderful person. ”
"He's wonderful?" the monkey laughed and grinned, "Probably." I think. You're really wonderful. You're all the ones who see through this, the difference is. My eighth brother chose to be a deserter. Since this road is not working, then take another path. You, but you chose to stick to it. ”
"So...... A poor monk will never become a Buddha. Xuanzang looked down at the hidden heart stone in his hand and smiled. It was a laugh from the heart.
It was as if the path of preaching was no longer lonely.
"It's not that you can't become a Buddha, it's that you become a Buddha, but you can't stand by and watch. Actually, it's good. With a long sigh of relief, the monkey bared his teeth and said, "Isn't what is happening right now exactly the same as this story?" The residents of Fengxian County have all become the woman in the story, and they have become bargaining chips for preaching. ”
Xuanzang still stared intently at the hidden heart stone in his hand.
Pursing his lips, the monkey casually carried the golden hoop stick to his shoulder, and said leisurely: "Okay, I'm going out, you can figure it out by yourself." If he dares to attack you directly, I will beat him all over the ground. However, if he comes from the letter and doesn't come to martial arts, you have to deal with it yourself. ”
Xuanzang clasped his hands together, bowed and saluted: "Xuanzang thanked the Great Sage for the people of Fengxian County. ”
......
As he walked out the door, the monkey found the canopy sitting under a small tree in the courtyard and watching him quietly.
The monkey was slightly stunned and asked casually, "What are you doing?"
"Buddhas also have good people. ”
"What do you mean by that? Eavesdropping on us?"
"You didn't even use the silence technique, just a little distance, I don't want to hear it. It's not eavesdropping. After a slight pause, Tianpeng said softly: "I now find that in fact, there are different people in each ethnic group. There are evil demons and good demons among youkai. There are evil gods and good gods among the gods. There are evil people, and there are good people. It's the same with Buddhas. ”
"Buddhas are different. The monkey walked up to him step by step, sat down crookedly, looked in the direction of Xuanzang's room and said, "Buddha, not a person." Those who can become Buddhas have the same face, as if they were branded with the same seal. Therefore, there are no good Buddhas and no evil Buddhas. Xuanzang will never become a Buddha, unless he ...... We lost. ”
Time passed bit by bit, from the top of the moon to the stars in the east.
All night, Xuanzang locked himself in the room and muttered to himself to the hidden heart stone. The monkey and the canopy stood guard outside the door. As for the other youkai, they quietly spread throughout Leiyin County.
As if they had spread a wide net, they tried to penetrate the entire Leiyin County, and they did not allow even the slightest accident to happen.
However, the unexpected happened.
......
When the sky was gray and bright, more than a dozen demon generals had already gathered in the courtyard of a house in Leiyin County, and even the Bull Demon King and Lu Liugui were among them.
Soon, the monkeys arrived.
Pushing aside the demons gathered together, the monkey soon saw the dried corpses of the two demon generals lying in the middle of the courtyard.
"Great Sage, this was already the case when we arrived. The Bull Demon King on the side said in a low voice: "It was this family who discovered it first, and the hostess screamed early in the morning...... Fortunately, we arrived first, arrested them all in time, and then divided into their appearances and prevaricated the neighbors. ”
Turning around, the monkey glanced at the dozen or so people who were bundled into rice dumplings and neatly thrown in the hall.
"Have you asked everything?"
"I asked, but I didn't ask anything. The Bull Demon King said cautiously: "I just said that I saw a shadow, but unfortunately the speed was too fast, and the sky was dark, and I didn't see what it was." ”
"These people are all tied up, and they are being entertained with good food and drink, and we will be released when we are gone. ”
"No!"
Soon, Lu Liugui walked over to the monkey, bowed down and said, "Great Sage of Qiqi, there is almost no trace of a fight. Both of them were killed in an instant, and they had no power to fight back. Moreover, it sucked up the blood and essence, which was like a six-eared macaque. ”
The monkey's eyes slowly narrowed into a slit, and he said lightly, "Got it." ”
......
At this moment, in the back hall of the "Little Leiyin Temple", Agarwood is frowning, holding a brush and carefully copying Buddhist scriptures. From time to time, he raised his eyes to look at Lingji sitting in front of him.
"Bald man, I ...... When can I go to my master?"
Lingji casually pointed to the rice paper under the agarwood pen and said: "This word has one more horizontal." Rewrite. ”
After fanning the fan, Lingji continued: "What can you do with your master? What your master can teach you, the poor monks can teach you." Also, what is called a bald man. Poor monk Lingji Buddha, you, a beginner disciple, should be called a poor monk Lingji Venerable. ”
"But I don't want to shave my head. ”
"How many people want to shave their heads and enter the Buddha Gate yet, don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing. ”
As he spoke, the tall and thin monk hurriedly walked in from outside the door and bowed deeply.
"Venerable Qiqi, last night in Leiyin County, two monsters died. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, the corners of Lingji's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled leisurely: "Now, there is a good show to watch." (To be continued.) )
