When Zhao Hai heard Yuan Qing, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Grandmaster is overpraising me. I have never been polite to my enemies. But if my enemies have already surrendered to me, then they are my people. Naturally, I wouldn't make a move against them."
Yuan Qing smiled faintly and said, "No matter what the reason is, Young Master still spared their lives. They were still in the Nine Nether Blood Realm. Although they are now Young Master's captives, they still managed to survive, right? Life is very important. Otherwise, Buddhists wouldn't sweep the floor in fear of harming the lives of ants and cover the lamp to save moths. However, these are just small tricks. Those who really do this have misunderstood the Buddha Lord's intentions. The Buddha Lord didn't want them to kill, he just wanted them to understand that they shouldn't have the heart to kill. "
Zhao Hai looked at Yuan Qing in confusion and said, "Grandmaster, please explain. Sweeping the floor in fear of harming the lives of ants and covering the lamp to save moths has always been the standard practice of Buddhist disciples. Why does Grandmaster say that this is a small trick?"
Yuan Qing smiled faintly and said, "Of course these are small tricks. Everything in the world has a cycle. Sheep eat grass and wolves eat sheep. This is a matter of course. Could it be that you want the wolf to stop eating sheep and eat grass instead? Then you have shown mercy to the sheep. What about the wolf? The wolf will starve to death if it doesn't eat meat. Is starving the wolf to death to save a sheep? Is that mercy? If they think that this is mercy, then what are the lives of ants and moths? "
Zhao Hai stared. This was the first time he heard someone say this. Now that he heard Yuan Qing's words, he felt that it made sense.
Yuan Qing looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Buddhists emphasize that they don't eat after noon. It's not the same as Buddhists who don't eat wine or meat. Buddhist disciples beg for food for a living. If a family gives a Buddhist disciple meat, then the Buddhist disciple won't eat it. Instead, he wants the family to give him vegetarian food. Is this what Buddhist disciples do? Could it be that the rice and vegetables used for vegetarian food were not life? When Buddhists say not to kill, they are actually warning their disciples that they must have a heart of compassion. Only when you have a heart of compassion can you be merciful to all living things. Only when you have a heart of compassion can you do more good deeds. This is the original intention of Buddhists. It is not as simple as people think that not killing is being merciful. If that is the case, then where did the Vajra of Fury and Asura, who was born to fight, become one of the Eight Division Heavenly Dragons of Buddhism? "
Zhao Hai's eyes lit up when he heard this. To be honest, this was the first time he heard someone explain Buddhism in such a way. Could it be that Buddhism was like what Yuan Qing said? As long as one didn't have the heart to do something, then they would be considered Buddha?
Yuan Qing looked at Zhao Hai and knew what he was thinking. His eyes flashed with wisdom as he said, "Don't do evil because it's small, don't do good because it's small, this is the Buddhist mantra. But as a cultivator, there are always times when we can't control ourselves. Young Master, as a powerful cultivator, you should have a heart as hard as stone. In any case, you should always choose the most advantageous way to act. But this time, Young Master didn't do so. Young Master turned those people into undead. Those people might have listened to Young Master's words, but Young Master didn't do so. Instead, he gave them a way out. I know that Young Master has his reasons, but Young Master has to admit that you can't bear to do it. That's enough." Yuan Qing nodded and said, "But Young Master, you have to admit that your heart can't bear to do it. That's enough."
Yuan Qing looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Perhaps Young Master will say that Buddhism pays particular attention to self-sacrifice. If someone wants to kill you, then you can't fight back. For example, sacrificing yourself to feed an eagle. But Young Master, have you thought about how much meat a person can have? If you sacrifice yourself to feed an eagle, then the eagle will be full and won't attack others. But what if it's not full? What if after you die, no one will feed it? Was he a coward? Would he eat other people? It's an eagle, eating meat is its nature. You can't erase its nature because of the Buddhist Realm. If you erase its nature, then is the eagle still an eagle? If you really do this, then wouldn't it be the greatest blasphemy to life? If it's just an eagle, then it's fine. But if the other party is an evil person, then you can say to the evil person, 'After killing me, don't kill others.' Would he agree? Obviously not. That's why the Buddhists have the Vajra's glare and the Daoists have the saying, 'Eliminate the devil and protect the Dao'. Eliminate one devil and protect the Dao. Kill one person and save ten thousand people. 'Isn't this a kind of mercy?
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I, Zhao Hai, have killed countless people since my debut. But these people always have some reason to kill. I don't dare to say that everyone here is innocent, but I dare to say that I didn't kill indiscriminately. I exterminated a clan because they had done too much evil. If I didn't exterminate them, then they would remember this hatred. And when this hatred erupts, it's often even more terrifying. So there's a saying, 'eliminating evil must be done thoroughly.' That's what I've done. I don't care if others agree or not, I've done it. I don't ask to become a Buddha, I just want to live up to my conscience."
Yuan Qing smiled faintly and said, "For the Young Master to say these words, it means that you have a Buddhist nature. Hehe, Buddha is in the heart. Like what I said before, with Buddha in the heart, everyone is Buddha."
Zhao Hai looked at Yuan Qing and laughed, "Great. Chatting with Grandmaster is really good. But I have something that I don't understand. I don't know if Grandmaster can explain it to me."
Yuan Qing smiled and said, "Young Master, please explain."
Zhao Hai looked at Yuan Qing and said, "I want to know, since Grandmaster said that these Buddhist Cultivators aren't true Buddhist Cultivators, then where does their Buddhist energy come from? Why is their Buddhist energy able to deal with the Darkness attribute energy? "
Yuan Qing looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, where does the light attribute energy come from?"
When Zhao Hai heard this, he stared for a moment before he laughed. Then he stood up and cupped his fist towards Yuan Qing and said, "I've been enlightened." Then Zhao Hai turned around and left.
There was no need for Yuan Qing to explain anything. Zhao Hai already understood that the so-called Buddhist Force was actually a type of light energy. It was just that the Buddhists studied Buddhist scriptures and other methods to make this light energy more powerful. Moreover, this light energy was also shaped. Because of this, people thought that Buddhist Force and light energy weren't the same thing. In the end, they were just the same type of energy.
A cultivator who was infatuated with the power of light would always have a stronger power of light than others. This was the power of light, and this was the reason for the emergence of Buddhist energy.
Zhao Hai returned to his room in a good mood. The knot in his heart had been untied. In the past, he thought that he had gone too far in his slaughter. Just the number of races that he had exterminated was uncountable. He was already a murderous demon, he couldn't be considered a good person. But after hearing Yuan Qing's words, Zhao Hai suddenly felt that he was still a good person.
Laura and the others discovered that Zhao Hai was different from before. However, they couldn't tell what was different about him. Because of this, they looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Laura asked, "Brother Hai, what's wrong? Why are you so happy? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, the knot in my heart has been untied. I just chatted with Grandmaster Yuan Qing for a while. To be honest, he's a Buddha. His understanding of Buddhism is completely different from what other people understand. Perhaps some people would say that what he said wasn't the true Buddhism. However, I think that what he said is the true Buddhism, the Buddhism that is closest to people's hearts."
When Laura and the others heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but stare. Then they became curious and surrounded Zhao Hai. They asked Zhao Hai how Grandmaster Yuan Qing explained Buddhism.
Zhao Hai told them about Grandmaster Yuan Qing's words. When they heard Zhao Hai's words, they couldn't help but stare. They didn't think that someone would explain the Buddhist Dharma in such a way. This was completely different from the Buddhist Dharma that they knew.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I didn't expect Grandmaster Yuan Qing to understand Buddhism in such a way. It seems like he really is a Grandmaster. His understanding of Buddhism is very profound."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this matter. I think that if we have time, we should talk to Grandmaster Yuan Qing and see if we can invite him to the Space. I always feel that forcing a Grandmaster to enter the Space would be disrespectful." Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this matter.
Laura nodded and said, "We can give it a try. I also think that we should bring the Grandmaster into the Space. Out of respect for a Senior Monk, we should do this."
Zhao Hai said, "Let's just note this down, we shouldn't be anxious. Let's talk about our next step. What's our next target?"
When Laura and the others heard Zhao Hai, they immediately pulled Zhao Hai towards the projection. Then they pointed towards an alliance and said, "Brother Hai, it's here."
Zhao Hai looked towards the direction that Laura pointed at. He saw that it was an alliance at the back. This alliance didn't have the most people among the five, but it also wasn't the least. This alliance didn't have any special characteristics.
Zhao Hai asked, "Why did you choose this alliance? What's so special about them? "
Laura replied, "There's only one thing that's special. There are a lot of formation masters in the alliance. After they came out of the Nine Nether Blood Realm, they only sent a few people to investigate. Most of the time, they've been researching how to use transmission formations to go to other realms. Brother Hai, you should know that their formations are different from ours. I'm afraid that they might be able to research something. If they really manage to find a way to go to other realms, then it would be very troublesome." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, we should deal with them. We can't let them research anything. Alright, we'll deal with them this time. You make a plan for the battle, then we'll make our move." Zhao Hai nodded.
Laura smiled faintly and said, "The battle plan this time is actually very simple. It's the same as how we dealt with Hu Zhengfei and the others. Even if they do research on formations, it would be useless. It's impossible for them to find a way to break the Star Transformations Great Formation in a short time. As long as they can't find a way to break it, then we can deal with them."
