Chapter 79: The Eighth Life of the Golden Cicada
The six ears, the canopy, and the black wind have all improved their cultivation and gathered in the courtyard of the meditation room.
Just as the three of them were teasing each other, the golden cicada, accompanied by the void, walked in from outside the courtyard. Behind him, followed by a dozen or so young monks.
"The cultivation has increased, and the voice has also become higher! Put it on, the weather is cold, don't hurt the wind and cold!"
The golden cicada seemed to have expected in advance that after the canopy passed through the streamer illusion, it would become what it is now, and he prepared a set of walker costumes in his hand and threw it to the canopy.
The canopy received it in his hand, thanked the golden cicada, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
When Liu'er saw the golden cicada, he smiled and still squatted on the wall, his upper arms drooping, looking up at the sky.
Jin Chanzi glanced at the monkey, turned his head and looked at the void again and said, "Void, this is the only monkey king I mentioned to you, who can save the creatures of Guanyin Temple!"
After hearing this, the void stepped forward and bowed deeply, but did not say a word.
Six-eared monkey sex, prompted by curiosity, quickly asked: "Give me a gift, and don't say a word, what do you mean?"
"Saving thousands of living beings from disasters is a great grace, and the so-called great grace is not spoken, so the little monk repays the favor with courtesy, but cannot say thanks!"
"Hey...... Hahaha...... It's interesting! It turns out that the monks of your Guanyin Temple are all Pixiu! One by one, they are stingy to death! I have saved so many of you, and I will count it according to one hundred taels per life, hehe, how much money did you say?"
Liu'er didn't care about gold and silver at all, and the reason why he said this was to test the little monk in front of him and see if he was worth his help.
The Void saluted again: "The Monkey King doesn't know, just yesterday, I have ordered people to exchange all the gold and silver accumulated in the whole temple for oil and grain, and distribute them to the people who have not left, so as to help them tide over the difficulties. Now up and down the Guanyin Temple, except for the sleepers of the building hall can not be sold, the rest have been processed. ”
When Liu'er heard this, he knew that he had failed the void, and he wanted to try again, and asked, "I came to the rescue in the market the day before yesterday, and you didn't thank me so much." This time, over and over again, you salute me, why is that?"
"The Monkey King saved me, it was I who saved people's suffering, and I was willing to use my body to help people, so I don't thank you! The Monkey King saved all sentient beings, it was to relieve the sufferings of everyone, and Kukong couldn't practice enough, so the Monkey King did it for me, so I thanked him. ”
The void said that the palms were suitable, and he wanted to give a salute.
However, as soon as the void lowered his body, a dark golden fluffy finger touched his forehead.
"Okay! Hurry up and save it! I'm annoyed enough with a fly, and here comes another little fly!"
"Monkey King, words are free. However, the little monk can feel that the Monkey King has a heart to help the world!"
Liu'er was about to go crazy, hurriedly waved his hand, and said quickly: "Okay, okay! I don't have the heart to help the world as you said, don't talk endlessly with me! If you really want to save the people in the city, then hurry up and take them to the mountain! If it's a little later, I can't guarantee that they will be safe!"
"Monkey, do you feel something?" the golden cicada asked immediately after hearing something in the six ears.
Six-Ear leapt up the wall and pointed to the west.
"Hehe, you're blind, it's normal that you can't see. But, little monk, your eyes should be good!"
The void looked in the direction pointed by the six ears, his brows tightened, and he said suspiciously: "Monkey King, forgive the little monk's clumsy eyes, this, this green mountains and mountains in the distance, clouds and mist, don't you see anything?"
Liu'er shook his head and said, "Don't you look at the weather on weekdays, aren't you thinking about helping others with their sufferings? Don't you know what color clouds are? Don't you know the difference between flowing clouds and whirlpool air?"
After listening to the words of the six ears, the void looked again, and only then did he see the clue.
"Yes! The clouds are dim, and the clouds seem to be rotating in a fixed range. ”
"That's not a flowing cloud, it's a demonic energy, a demonic energy that can only be possessed by a big demon!"
Liu'er stood up, looked at the void, and said in a calm tone.
After hearing this, the void was stunned for a moment, and then a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
"Quickly send people to bring the people down the mountain to the temple. Let's just say that I have calculated that the mountain will suffer a disaster, and don't mention the demon king, so as not to cause panic! If the people and officers and soldiers are unwilling to come up, just say that the Guanyin Temple is willing to bear all the losses!" said the void to the little monk behind him.
The little monk immediately received the order, took the rest of the people, and rushed towards the bottom of the mountain.
"Hmph, for fear of causing panic. A few days ago, didn't that Yellow Wind Great Sage come, and he was scared and fled a long time ago. Only those ordinary people who are reluctant to land and property, and you tell them to protect their losses, will they return to your ruined temple for refuge!"
The corners of Liu'er's mouth curled, and he picked up a stone at the head of the wall and threw it down the mountain.
"If you can save one, it's one, the little monk has retired!"
The void said, saluting the six ears, the golden cicada, and the black wind, respectively, and turned to leave.
The golden cicada closed his eyes and walked towards the figure of the void, and said softly: "You monkey, can't you encourage him more? At such a young age, it is not easy to shoulder such a heavy responsibility!"
"I'm just helping him, I just want him to know that there are so many fools in the world, and it's not so easy to purify Buddhism. Since he has chosen, he must be prepared to endure hardships. ”
"Eh, by the way, since you like him so much, why don't you accept him as an apprentice?"
Jin Chanzi lowered his head slightly, then looked down the mountain, and said slowly: "My eighth life, died at the age of twenty-one. On the day I died, I finally realized the reason why the Three Realms were restless and the killing continued. ”
"My eighth life was a footwalking monk, and I had not eaten for several days in the realm of a golden river, and I shot a wolf that was about to prey on a fawn. Just when I was full of joy, the light of the Buddha shone brightly, and the Buddha appeared in the shadow, and said to me, the she-wolf I shot was my biological mother in my previous life, and the fawn I saved was the child of my mother's enemy. Originally, after the she-wolf devoured the fawn, the cause and effect were recompensated and she could be reincarnated. However, it was because of me that my biological mother in my previous life fell into the way of animals. ”
"The Buddha also said that if I wanted my biological mother in my previous life to survive this catastrophe, I had to kill the deer in front of me with my own hands. ”
"The fawn is not big, I can't bear it. However, I was still impressed. The tip of the knife slowly fell, stabbing it in the neck. However, just as the blood was pouring out, I suddenly stopped and let him go. ”
"The Buddha was furious, and his biological mother in his previous life did not take revenge, saying that I was in vain. ”
But I didn't respond, and I turned and left.
"When the tip of the knife pierced the neck of the fawn, I was thinking that the suffering of the previous life had been exhausted in the previous life. Why do you have to repay it in this life, if you don't have enough merit in this life, there will be another life. Going back and forth, infinite reincarnation, how miserable the world is! Could it be that this is the compassion of Buddhism, where the four major beings are empty, and there is no love in the heart, only the Buddha! What is the meaning of the Buddha?
