Niu Er shook his head desperately, closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes, looking at his parents, his eyes were as wide as copper bells.

The thieves are in an uproar!

One of the thieves whistled, and more than a dozen thieves slowly dispersed, surrounding the old woman and the old man in a fan shape. They raised their swords and spears together, and slowly approached the two old men.

Niu Er dragged his wife up from the ground, the steel knife was on his neck, and he dragged his wife back slowly.

The old woman suddenly laughed and said, "Hey, what are you doing cowering? He stuck his head out and aimed a thief's steel knife.

The thief's face flashed with murderous aura, his eyes widened, and he was full of ferocity, and he slashed off the top of the old woman's head with a single sword.

The knife used all its strength, and a click was heard, and the top of the old woman's head was split, and something red and white splashed out, and the old woman fell to the ground, and her white hair was instantly dyed red with blood.

The old man's eyes were fixed on Niu Er, but when he saw that Niu Er was stunned, the wife who was held hostage by him broke free from his control, rushed over desperately, and threw herself on the old woman's corpse and cried.

Niu Er's eyes suddenly turned red!

The thief who had slashed the old woman to death could not believe that he had succeeded, and he looked at his knife suspiciously, and there was blood on the edge.

"Mom-yes, I really thought that Niu Er's old father and mother had learned occult arts from some monk, she dared to stick her head over, I was still worried about some powerful trap, but I didn't expect a knife to go down, and the top of my head was cut open, hahaha, hahaha!" The steel knife in his hand swung and shouted at the old man: "Old man, if you don't want to die, tell me honestly, what happened to the two of you who didn't die just now?"

"Say, how could this old thing kick the bear to death just now?" another strong man came up, and the gun in his hand was pointed at the throat of the old man.

On the ground, Hongmei, whose face was full of blood and tears, stood up and rushed to Niu Er, but was hugged by a thief, and with a hiss, she ripped off the clothes on her chest, revealing her snow-white chest.

The thieves' eyes were shining, and the thieves had knives in their hands to pick at the woman's breast.

The old man shouted: "Niu Er, your wife was killed by you, don't you repent?"

"I didn't kill my mother, she kicked my brother to death first. Niu Er's eyes widened, "Old thing, you say, how could the old lady kick the bear to death just now, my other brother, why did a blood hole suddenly appear in the throat?"

The old man said slowly: "Wukong, I lost the bet." ”

The old woman's severed head suddenly came out of a hairy head, her eyes were like electricity, and her murderous aura was fierce, and she said, "Master, at the beginning of human beings, nature is good. But at the beginning of the wolf, was it inherently evil?"

The thieves were in an uproar and jumped away, and some of the cowards had already fled through the door.

The old man said slowly: "Wukong, it seems that there are some truths in those etiquette, but there are also a lot of mistakes. If this man's original heart is good, it must be evil. The evil of this Niu Er has annihilated his goodness. ”

Niu Er's legs were weak, and he shouted boldly: "Old man, what are you talking nonsense?" Turning his head, the brothers around him retreated to the door, and some of the timid ones had already weakened their legs and fell to the ground.

The old lady who was hacked to death on the ground, a hairy face jumped out of the wound on the top of her head, this Lei Gong was only four feet tall, and his eyes were as fierce as lightning, just like a mountain spirit monkey demon.

The thieves shouted and fled. Niu Er was so frightened that he turned around and ran, kicked on the threshold, and fell to the ground with a thud. was jumped over by the monkey-faced little Lei Gong in one step, and as soon as he grabbed it in the air, Niu Er's body flew up and fell into the hands of Xiao Lei Gong, unable to move, the furry fierce face came to Niu Er's face, and Niu Er fainted in fright.

The daughter-in-law turned into a terrifying monster exactly like the hairy-faced little Lei Gong, flew out with a bang, turned back from the air, grabbed those thieves one by one, and threw them into the air, and fell on the roof of the house with a loud scream, smashed the roof and fell in the middle of the hall.

Puff puff!

A series of thieves fell from the sky and fell in front of the old man, one by one, all of them broke their bones and tendons!

Niu Er woke up quietly, looked at the accomplices stacked in a ball, struggled, and found that he was lying on the ground, and next to him stood the short and small hairy face Lei Gong, and in front of him, there was a young monk with a solemn appearance, who was very tall and strong.

"You, you, you, are you a human or a demon?" Niu Er asked in a trembling voice.

"Little grandson, I am your wife's grandfather Sun Wukong, this is your wife's grandfather's master, Master Sanzang. The monkey said with a grin.

Sanzang sighed and said, "At the beginning of human beings, there was good and evil sex. Spiritual practice is to discover the good in your heart and suppress your own evil. ”

"Master, did Niu Er discover his evil and suppress his goodness?"

Sanzang nodded.

The monkey shook his head: "Master, you are wrong again. ”

"Why am I wrong?"

"Master, you told me that Zen itself does not exist in the outside world, but in the heart, and through your chanting and explanations, I have realized Zen principles that I have never heard of before, and you said that Zen principles have long been in my heart, and it was you who reminded me that I had discovered the Zen principles that already existed, not the Zen principles that you taught me. ”

"Yes!"

In this case, the evil in Niu Er's heart must also exist in his heart, and he did not become so vicious after following the thief, but the evil in his heart was awakened. In other words, there is no goodness in his heart, and his human nature is evil at the beginning. Master, I think that some people, from the moment they are born, are themselves evil. ”

Master Sanzang folded his hands and was silent for a long time, he was very repulsive in his heart to reject what the monkey said about the original nature of human beings, however, he faintly felt that maybe what the monkey said was really right? Sanzang's Zen theory of human goodness was shaken, and he decided to practice it and verify what the monkey said, "The original nature of the wolf is evil."

Sanzang said: "Niu Er, your parents are still in your house and have not been harmed in any way, are you willing to take refuge in Buddhism and abandon evil and follow good?"

"Master, I'm willing!" Niu Er fell to his knees and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Okay, go back, go and confess your mistakes to your parents, you love your wife well, if you can change your past, I will spare your life. Master Sanzang said.

"Master, I will definitely change my past mistakes and abandon evil and follow good. Niu Er kowtowed desperately.

"Go!" Sanzang waved his hand.

Niu Er staggered out and ran in the direction of his home.

The monkey said, "Master, do you really believe that Niu Er will change his ways?"

"You don't believe it?"

"I don't believe it!"

"Okay, let's make another bet. ”

"If Master is going to lose this time, you have to answer me a question, and besides, you must not speak. The monkey said with a grin.

Sanzang saw from the monkey's eyes that this monkey was calculating, he was extremely intelligent, and he was not afraid of anyone, so he immediately said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

"If Master wins, what do you want me to promise you?"

"If I win, Niu Er will be good, and these thieves must be able to be good, so let them all go. If Niu Er continues to do evil, these thieves, as you wish, will kill them all. ”
