"Didn't you say to be merciful?"
Mo Chi 'er, the Blissful Demon Master, was deep in thought. She wandered around the mountains above the Bitter Sea of the Blissful Heaven after she parted ways with the princess of the Prince of Taixuan Heaven. For some reason, she found herself in front of a black mountain on the Bitter Sea of the Blissful Heaven. She stood in front of the mountain for a long time before she finally gritted her teeth and stepped into the mountain. She stood on the black stone platform and looked up. Her eyes fell on the opposite side of the platform. She saw the white-robed monk, who was covered in blood and chanting calmly. He was covered in thorns and thorns, but he was still calmly chanting.
She looked at the white-robed monk, and emotions surged in her eyes like tides. There was pity, hatred, pity, disgust, and even an indescribable fear. But after a long period of fluctuating emotions, she finally calmed down!
The words that came out of her mouth were inexplicably sarcastic. "Don't think I'm a fool. Do you really think that you don't know magical powers? Just now, the Great Hell Demon Bai Shishi escaped to this sea, and the Prince of Great Scarlet Heaven was pressing on. Even the elders of Taixuan Heaven and I couldn't save him. But with your cultivation, how difficult would it be to protect his spirit? But why did you just chant a scripture and do nothing else? Monk, where's your merciful heart? Where's your salvation? Do you think it's all talk? "
"I won't save the Great Hell Demon Master …"
The young monk opened his eyes gently. His gaze was still gentle, and his voice was calm and gentle. "He cultivates the Great Dao of Killing. The so-called cultivation is to slaughter all living beings. Every day he lives, countless living beings will die under his butcher knife in Great Prison Heaven. If I save him, then he will kill even more living beings for the sake of cultivation. If Buddhism is to save all living beings, then it should be treated equally. If it is to be compassionate, then it should be to illuminate the world. How can I cause the souls of thousands of living beings to be obliterated for the sake of a Bai Xi corpse?"
"Heh, who asked us to be devils?"
The Blissful Demon King, Mo Chi 'er, sneered coldly. His gaze was like a sharp knife that stabbed into the young monk's face. His eyes were filled with ridicule, "This is how we demons are. Bai Shi likes to kill people, but I like to sleep with men. You can't stand it, right? Then why are you talking about purification? Why don't you just follow what the Daoists say and slay the demons? Why do you have to stay at my place and recite some scriptures and preach some Buddhist theory to me every day? If even you think that we deserve to die, then why don't you just watch the six of us die together? "
"This Penniless Monk is also slaying fiends!"
The young monk stared straight at the Blissful Demon Master and said softly, "But I'm not going to destroy your physical body. I'm only going to destroy the demonic thoughts in your heart!"
"What Demonic Will? What a joke! "
Mo Chi 'er shouted, "The White Tiger likes to kill, it's his nature. I, Mo Chi, like to sleep with men, it's my nature. You are just a heartless monk who has never tasted anything in the mortal world. You are born with five senses and six extremities. You are just like a blockhead, how would you know what a devil is? Let me tell you, the nature of humans is the devil, the principles of Dao is the devil. If you want to destroy the demonic thoughts in our hearts, why don't you just turn us into stones! "
"Stopping is the nature of a human, indulging is the devil!"
The young monk answered calmly, "What Buddhism does is to destroy the heart's devil, not to destroy one's nature!"
Mo Chi 'er became even more furious, he shouted, "We have inherited the Sky Demon Art and cultivated the Six Paths Demon Root. This Demon Root is our foundation. If you destroy our demonic nature, we won't have the power to protect ourselves. Monk, you are not purifying fiends, you are killing people …"
"If you continue to cultivate, you will only die. Only by converting to Buddhism will you have a chance to live!"
The young monk looked into Mo Chi 'er's eyes, "I'm not killing people, I'm saving people!"
"Hahahaha …"
Mo Chi 'er laughed harshly. A hideous expression actually appeared on her beautiful face. "You want to say that it's a dead end for us to guard the great Six Demon Heavens? We have to give up our wealth and even our cultivation Dao foundation to follow a stupid monk like you to eat vegetarian and pray to Buddha. Only then will we have a chance of survival? Haha, monk, you must be crazy. The butcher's knife you speak of is the knife that can save our lives. If you ask us to give up our butcher's knife, how are we going to fight when someone comes to kill us in the future? Are we going to use our necks to take on someone else's knife? "
"Buddhism is not as weak as you think. Buddha said that he will save all living beings, and he himself is also a living being. How can he let evil people slaughter him?"
The young monk's voice slowly became gentler, "After all, I am helping you cultivate, not forcing you to die …"
"If that's the case, then does Buddhism not forbid killing?"
Blissful Demon Master Mo Chi 'er sneered, his eyes were shining brightly.
"The Heavenly Dao is merciless. Killing is also a part of it. Buddhism has no intention of stopping the Heavenly Dao!"
The young monk's reply was very straightforward, which made Mo Chi 'er even more sarcastic, "If your Buddhism does not even forbid killing, then what's the point of being merciful and saving all living beings? What's the point of Buddhism's existence?"
"Buddhism does not forbid killing, but it cannot stop killing!"
The young monk sighed softly and said plainly, "If I drink a ladle of water, there will be 300 million living beings in the water. If I eat a mouthful of vegetables, it will harm the life of a plant. If I don't teach the wolf to eat the lamb, the wolf will starve to death. If I don't teach the eagle to eat the rabbit, the eagle will starve to death. If I serve the wolf with my blood and the eagle with my meat, then I will die. The cycle of heaven and earth is endless. Killing is a part of it. How can I really stop it? If I forbid killing, then I might stop the cycle of heaven and earth. The great calamity is not far away, and the calamity of all living beings will descend … "
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean all living beings are demons?"
Mo Chi 'er's voice was slightly sharp, "Then why do you want me to use the butcher's knife?"
"Everything should be done in moderation …"
The young monk's reply seemed like he never needed to think. He said it directly, "The ultimate Buddhist principle is to cultivate oneself, to cultivate the Zen heart. If one follows his nature, then he won't break the precepts. I have a senior brother who often said that wine and meat go through the intestines, but Buddha stays in the heart. This is the principle. However, if one indulges himself wantonly, then he will become a demon. As for the demon, it is not for all living beings. In the end, it will fall on one's own body. The so-called Buddha and the so-called demon are just a thought in the heart. If one has the Buddha's heart, then his heart will be peaceful. Whether he lives or dies, he will face it calmly. If one has the demon's heart, then he will be violent and restless. In the end, the living beings will suffer, and the one who will be destroyed is himself … "
"You …"
At this point, the Blissful Demon Mo Chi 'er felt that it was ridiculous. He sneered, "You think that my heart is restless?"
The young monk said, "If your heart is peaceful, then why did you come to talk to me?"
Mo Chi 'er was furious. She raised her palm fiercely, as if she wanted to slap the young monk to death. However, after thinking for a while, she suddenly showed a trace of ruthlessness on her face. The smile on her face also became coquettish. She bit her lips and giggled. Then, she walked towards the young monk lightly. The thorns that entangled the young monk shrank into his body as if they were alive when she approached him. This feeling only made the young monk feel more pain. His face had already turned pale, but his expression was still calm.
"I came here because I miss you …"
Mo Chi 'er ignored the cold sweat on the young monk's face because of the endless pain. She gently touched the young monk's face with her delicate palm and smiled playfully. There seemed to be a trace of infatuation in her eyes, "I really haven't seen such a handsome person like you for many years … Do you know what I am thinking? I am just thinking, alas, why are there so many troublesome things? Otherwise, I would have already married you into the palace and lingered with you every night … "
The young monk did not move. His expression was calm. In the quiet stone chamber, there was only her moaning and panting, which was extremely coquettish.
"Your heart is not moved. Why do you force yourself to be moved?"
After a long time, the young monk suddenly lowered his head and looked into her eyes.
"What are you talking about? I like you the moment I saw you. My heart is already beating fast. How can I not be moved?"
Mo Chi 'er's whole body had already softly wrapped around the young monk's body as she murmured to herself.
"Then why do I feel that your heart is dead and lifeless?"
The young monk's voice was not loud. He just calmly stated a fact.
However, Mo Chi 'er suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Her eyes were full of killing intent, "What did you say?"
The young monk said calmly, "Lust is invisible. It can't fill the emptiness in your heart!"
"You …"
Mo Chi 'er's expression suddenly changed. She suddenly raised her hand as if she was about to slap down. However, before she slapped down, she changed her mind. She just flicked her fingers slightly, and the thorns on the young monk's body immediately became more luxuriant. They grew bit by bit. The growth of each thorn brought great pain to the young monk. Seeing this, she showed a cold and vicious smile and purposely giggled, "I don't know whether there is a emptiness in my heart or not. But you should have a few thorns in your heart to torture!"
However, the endless growth of thorns still did not change the young monk's expression. He was still sitting quietly with his legs crossed, as if he was not the one suffering. He looked at Mo Chi 'er calmly, "Convert to Buddhism. It can make your heart peaceful!"
"Shut up!"
Mo Chi 'er stared at the young monk fiercely, as if she wanted to see the pain on his face. However, she shook her head in disappointment. She flicked her fingers again and withdrew her supernatural power. Her face seemed to show endless exhaustion. She sighed softly and said softly, "You are a monk. How would you know what is the Great Way and what is the Heaven's Way? You just need to endure …"
As she spoke, she turned around and was about to leave.
However, the young monk already spoke behind her, "The Heaven's Way is the rule, and the Great Way is the human heart. Therefore, the Heaven's Way is perfect, and the human heart is deficient. When you truly acknowledge the Heaven's Way and understand the Great Way, you will not continue to suffer, and your cultivation will also improve …"
"The Heaven's Way is perfect, and the human heart is deficient?"
Mo Chi 'er stamped her feet slightly and repeated these words. However, she did not turn back and continued to walk forward.
The young monk also sighed softly, lowered his head, and remained silent.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the direction of the empty cave.
"Senior Brother, do you understand?"
