Chapter VII: On the Law
"But Brother Shen Fei, you said that the little monk of the Pure Spirit is a good person or a bad person, why do I think his tricks are so evil. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hehe, to be honest, I can't figure out the depth of the Pure Spirit Monk, it is precisely because I can't figure it out that I want to compete with him, I have a feeling that he appears in front of us so frequently, it is not as simple as fate. ”
"You say he deliberately stalked us?"
"I can't say, Wandering Monk Pure Spirit, there are too many mysteries hidden in this person's body. ”
"Brother Shen Fei, do you still want to watch the games in other venues, I'm a little cold, let's go down." ”
Shen Fei frowned, turned his eyes to look down, the victory or defeat of the lion and the tiger in the No. 1 ring had been divided, it was actually a tie, the king of the jungle and the king of the grassland were each scarred after a decisive battle, lying on the ground and looking at each other cautiously, panting, and no longer had the ability to kill each other. Casino managers are trying to tease them with fresh meat to fight again and decide the winner. The fight between the lion and the human warrior in the second ring ended in the lion's open intestines, and the heavy armor on the warrior's body played a crucial role in this grappling, and the lion pressed him under him several times to pounce, but failed to deliver a fatal blow, and in turn, he saw the right time and pierced the belly with a sword. The legion battle in the third ring is still in full swing, and it seems that although the barbarian legion is poorly equipped, it is more brave and good at fighting, and it is safe to suppress the heavy armor legion, only the final fatal blow is missing. The battle between the human and the big demon in the fourth ring has also been decided, the young man who seems to be upright, holding a fairy sword to dismantle the big monster into eight pieces, the whole ring is full of blood, but the young man is suddenly unconscious, like a devil crawling out of hell.
After the finale of Ring 5, all the events of the day have come to an end.
Retracting his gaze, Shen Fei drove the petal cloud to float outside the arena: "Let's go, let's go have some supper." ”
When I got outside, I was bumping into the pure spirit monk who took the silver and walked out of the arena, it turned out that the injured sika deer was not released back to nature, but was taken by the pure spirit monk, and at this moment the body of the little sika deer was already a little thicker, jumping around the pure spirit monk in a circle.
Shen Fei thought about it, drove the petal cloud and flew over, still far away, and said first: "Amitabha, the master of the pure soul is deeply hidden, and he admires and admires it below." ”
The Pure Spirit Monk followed the voice and looked over, saw Shen Fei floating in the clouds, and smiled: "Amitabha, Lord Shen Shi smiled." ”
"Hello Master Pure Spirit. As the petal cloud fell, Nalan Ruoxue finally came to her senses and saluted the Pure Spirit Monk.
"Good female donor!" Monk Jingling replied, "The female donor and Shen Shi are inseparable, which is enviable." ”
"The master has good eyesight, hehehehe. Nalan Ruoxue laughed happily.
Shen Fei said: "The master is really a kind-hearted person, take it with you." The one in Shen Fei's mouth naturally refers to the little sika deer.
The Pure Spirit Monk smiled: "Amitabha, contaminated with the breath of human beings, the little deer can no longer integrate into the previous living environment, and the little monk has to take it with him." ”
"The master is really a kind-hearted man. ”
The donor praised it. ”
"Presumably, we will have to get along day and night in the future, do you want to give it a name. ”
"This ......" Jing Ling looked embarrassed, "the little monk really hasn't thought about this problem. ”
"Is it okay to call it a furry child?"
"Nice name. ”
"That's it. ”
"Where is the donor going?"
"I'm hungry, find something to eat, Master?"
"I'm a little thirsty, so I buy a bucket of water to drink. ”
"Where is the master's stay?"
"In the inn of the city. ”
"Huh, the master didn't stay in the temple?"
"Since the little monk has come to the arena to challenge, he needs to keep abreast of the news here, not to mention that it is not appropriate to go to the solemn temple because of the smell of blood on his body. ”
"What the master said is reasonable. ”
"Lord Shen hasn't seen him for a long time, how about together?"
"Of course. As he spoke, the two of them walked side by side, Shen Fei raised an eyebrow above the Pure Spirit Monk, "Master, what trick did you use just now, it looks like it's so good." ”
"Buddhism dreams. ”
"Illusion?"
"A type of Dharma that is used to guide the confused in their minds. ”
"The little brother is really not mistaken, Master Pure Soul has a profound Dharma, which is not comparable to the monks of Huayan Temple. ”
"Amitabha, the donor laughed, fighting bravely and ruthlessly is not what my generation is good at, Buddhist disciples lead people to goodness, and the little monk is just practicing this path in his own way. ”
"In my opinion, the master is too modest, you dodged the thunder dragon attack, and the move that suddenly appeared in front of Yang Qi was not even clear to me. ”
"Oh, that's actually a kind of Buddhism, and it's complicated to say, because Lord Shen doesn't believe in Buddhism. ”
When the two were talking, they had already walked in front of the small trader, and the Jingling monk took a few pennies and handed them over, asking for three bamboo tubes of water. He took one of the barrels himself, and handed the other two barrels to Shen Fei and Nalan Ruoxue.
The latter excused himself in fear: "Master doesn't have to be polite. ”
"The origin and the fate of the extinction, why the reason, the little monk and Shen Shizhu have a fate in this life, please don't shirk the kindness of the little monk. ”
"In that case...... Then I might as well be respectful. ”
"It's just a tube of water, it's not enough. ”
"Master Pure Spirit, is the purpose of your coming to the arena really to change the atmosphere of violence here, as you said?"
"Amitabha, a place like an arena that intuitively displays violence, should not exist in the world, and the little monk wants to do his best to take a rugged and dangerous road to change the environment of violence here. ”
"The master has great ambitions and admires them. ”
"Why did Lord Shen Shi come?"
"You may be laughed at by the master when you say it, and you will come to the arena on this trip. ”
"Lord Shen Shi is also going to join the battle here?"
"This is also a way for me to cultivate. ”
"Amitabha, everyone has their own aspirations, what the donor thinks, the little monk is inconvenient to interfere, but there is a saying that wants the Tao and the donor. ”
"Please. ”
"Amitabha, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground!" is incredible, when the pure spirit monk opened his mouth to say the eight words "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground", his gaze obliquely looked up, including the momentum of the whole person, changed suddenly, as if there were solemn Buddha words whispering in Shen Fei's ears, echoing for a long time, lingering, and when Shen Fei looked at the pure spirit monk, he felt that his entire body was golden, and it seemed that a statue of the Buddha with a solemn appearance appeared behind him.
This feeling lasted for a while, and then it disappeared, suddenly like a dream, and Nalan Ruoxue, who was close to Shen Fei, didn't notice it at all.
The evaluation of the Pure Spirit Monk in his heart has improved again, and the solemnity and mystery he inadvertently reveals even made Shen Fei feel terrified. Such a person, although he stood by his side and chatted calmly as usual, made Shen Fei more vigilant than when he was facing Yan Tiantian with his sword. He once again remembered the prophecy of the green ox going up to the immortal when he went down the mountain - the most careful thing you should be when you go down the mountain is a monk!
Monk?
Shen Fei felt an indescribable fear from the Pure Spirit Monk's body, this feeling was like you standing on the field, watching the grass waves fluctuate with the wind, and there was a fierce and ferocious beast hiding in the depths of the lawn, ready to pounce at any time.
Stabilizing his mind, Shen Fei folded his hands and asked, "Master Pure Spirit, I have always had a question in my heart and want to ask the master for advice. ”
"But the donor said it was okay. ”
"I would like to ask the master, is the Buddhist saying that putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot applies to everyone? Is it true that thugs who commit murder, rape, and many crimes can also put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot? "The controversy about putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, as early as the time of Huayan Temple, Shen Fei had an argument with the host of the temple, and at that time, the host gave a very ambiguous answer, so that Shen Fei was disappointed in the temple and the Buddha. This time, when I heard Monk Jingling bring up this topic again, I suddenly became interested and wanted to argue with him.
The battle of faith between Taoism and Buddhism, to put it bluntly, is a struggle for the dominance of the spirit of the believers, and only by placing oneself on the highest point and convincing the people with the principles that one believes in can it be possible to achieve the final victory, otherwise even if some believers are temporarily obtained, a stalemate can be formed, and one day in the future, they will be defeated because the spirit they advocate is not more convincing.
Therefore, Shen Fei simply took this opportunity to ask the doubts in his heart and see how the Pure Spirit Monk would face this problem. Speaking of which, although the Pure Spirit Monk is young, his Buddha nature seems to be much deeper than that of the host of Huayan Temple.
But seeing that the pure spirit monk had a stern face, after drinking water, he inserted the bamboo tube into the backpack and folded his hands: "Can Lord Shen know the origin of the saying that he put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the ground?"
"I want to hear about it. As the contact deepened, Shen Fei paid more and more attention to the Pure Spirit Monk who appeared in front of him, and even when he talked to him, he consciously held a cautious attitude, as if every conversation was a debate, a debate about the Tao and the Buddha. Who is better in Taoism and Buddhism, in fact, Shen Fei also has doubts in his heart.
"Amitabha, does the donor think that putting down the butcher knife is putting down the killing blade in his hand?"
"Isn't it?"
"Definitely. The so-called letting go of the butcher's knife actually means letting go of the delusions and evil thoughts in the heart, abandoning their belief in the Buddha, and then they can embark on the smooth road to Buddhahood. "Monk Jingling took two steps forward," At the beginning of the founding of Buddhism, the Buddha had traveled all over the world to spread his thoughts, so he offended some local sects, and when he passed through the country, the evil sect Brahmin master instigated his disciples to kill people in the street on the road through which the Buddha passed, killing enough 100 people, cutting off each person's thumb and wearing a string of chains, so that he could ascend to heaven and become a god. When the Buddha came to the street, Wu Fu had already killed ninety-nine people, and only one person's head could be worn into a string, because the Buddha himself had miraculous powers, King Kong was not bad, and Wu Fu killed the Buddha without annoyance, so he started the idea of his own mother, and wanted to kill his mother to make up enough for a hundred fingers, and was advised by the Buddha: "Amitabha, the sea of suffering is endless, and good and evil are rewarded; put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot! After that, he worshipped the Buddha as a teacher and became a close arhat.
In the little monk's view, putting down the butcher knife is not the killing weapon in his hand, but giving up the sinful thoughts in his heart, as long as he can give up the sinful thoughts, everything is still too late. ”
"Whether it's a sin or a killing weapon, if you let it go and are accepted by the Buddha, where should the people who were persecuted before go to seek revenge?"
"The cycle of good and evil is rewarded, and if you do evil in this world, you will be punished in the next life, and if you die early in this life, you may just do evil things in the previous life, and you must forgive your sins in this life. Therefore, whether it is a good person or a bad person, no matter how many sins are committed in this life, as long as they can let go of their sins at a certain moment, they will be accepted by the Buddha, and as for the forgiveness of sins, it is a matter of the next life. ”
"Do the Buddhas really believe in an afterlife?
"The Buddha Shakyamuni has gone deep into the underworld seven times to explore the eighteenth layer of Infernal Purgatory, how can it be fake. ”
"Hehe, if you die in this life, you will prove that you have done something wrong in the previous life, and if you kill someone in this life, you will not be punished until the next life. The monk's statement sounds reasonable, but I can't agree with it. ”
"Why did the donor say that?"
"Because there is a good saying, people live for a lifetime, and they know their own warmth and coldness! If you can't even control the fate of this life, how can you talk about the next life!"
"Amitabha!"
"Master thinks I'm not right?"
On the contrary, the little monk felt that what the donor said was very reasonable. But the reality is that our destiny is never in our own hands. Similar to the beliefs of my generation. ”
"I think man wins. ”
"Amitabha, the little monk once thought that the people of Taoism should be disciples who believe in the will of heaven and act on it. ”
"Haha. Speaking of this, Shen Fei really didn't know how to answer him.
The two had two silent confrontations, the first time was on the mountain road leading to Huayan Temple, an old woman sat on the ground, at that time, because the old woman was bent on death, so Shen Fei chose to give up, and the Pure Spirit Monk went to teach, care, and guide her, and the result was successful; It must be known that on the Dao Mountain, Shen Fei once relied on a three-inch incorruptible tongue to speak the six main peaks and peaks, but now he was actually frustrated by an ordinary monk, which shows that the pure spirit monk has a thorough understanding of Buddhism and has a profound Buddha nature.
The two silent battles in a row all failed, Shen Fei felt the horror of the Pure Spirit Monk even more, and had a strong vigilance in his heart, the inexplicable appearance of the Pure Spirit Monk may not be a simple coincidence at all!
After pondering for a long time and unable to think of a response, Shen Fei's eyes narrowed, his hands folded and saluted: "The master's Buddhism is profound, and I admire it below." ”
