Ye Kong and the rest looked in the direction of the voice and saw a monk in hemp clothes standing outside the Buddha Forest Temple. This monk had an ordinary appearance and was dressed simply. He wore hemp clothes and hemp shoes. He wore a circle of prayer beads and bowed to the three of them.
"This poor monk Nengxiu welcomes the three fated people."
Ye Kong hurriedly walked over and returned the greeting. He said, "Master Nengxiu, I am the vegetable delivery monk Ye Kong of the Buddha Forest Temple …" Ye Kong felt that he should not lie in the Buddha Realm, so he simply gave his real name.
He then introduced, "This is our Celestial World's West Tomb Fairy, the head of the five fairies …"
When Ye Kong introduced them, Chu Yiyi was clearly unhappy. Actually, even among the five fairies, everyone competed with each other. Some people did not accept West Tomb Lin as the number one of the five.
West Tomb Fairy was very indifferent and did not pretend to be humble. She also went forward and bowed, "West Tomb Lin greets Master Nengxiu."
Then Ye Kong introduced Chu Yiyi. It was not convenient for Ye Kong to say it. If he said it was Fairy Yi, it would expose Kuang Peng. This news was obviously leaked by Kuang Peng.
"This old granny is …"
"Chu Yiyi." She was usually concise and to the point.
"Master, this old granny is called Chu Yiyi."
Hearing Ye's introduction, Chu Yiyi really wanted to kick him. You know that I'm called Chu Yiyi, but you still call me old granny!
"The three of you, please come in."
Just as Nengxiu was about to lead the three of them in, there was a commotion behind them. They saw two men scuffling with a group of onlookers behind them.
"Master Nengxiu, please judge us!" A tall and sturdy man who was scuffling shouted.
The other man was slightly thinner, and he was clearly at a disadvantage. He also shouted, "Master Nengxiu, save me!"
Seeing that they were in such a mess, Nengxiu could only ask Ye Kong and the rest to wait and solve the problem for the two of them.
Nengxiu walked down the steps and gestured for the sturdy man to let go of the skinny man. He then asked, "What are you arguing about?"
The sturdy man said angrily, "He killed my dog!"
The skinny man also said angrily, "Your dog bit me first, that's why I killed it!"
The burly man roared, "But you can't cook it and eat it!"
"A dead dog is already dead. Why can't I eat it?" The skinny man was unconvinced.
"If you eat it, you have to pay for it!"
Ye Kong and the other two also followed, wanting to see how Master Neng Xiu would solve the problem.
Neng Xiu advised, "On one side, you condone the evil dog, and on the other side, you kill the dog and eat its meat. In my opinion, these are both things that shouldn't be done. But since this matter has already been done, there's no point in talking about it. I think we should just leave it at that. What do you think? "
The burly man said angrily, "Master, we are here to reason with you, not to smooth things over! This matter has not been resolved, how can I let it go? I will make him compensate me! "
The skinny man replied, "The dog meat has already been eaten. How am I going to compensate you? Stop dreaming."
Neng Xiu also said to the burly man, "You indulged the evil dog because it was the cause, and the evil dog being slaughtered is the effect. This is the cycle of karma. You can't blame others. "
The burly man flew into a rage, "Master Neng Xiu, but how much food did I spend to raise that dog? It was eaten by this kid, how can I not compensate him? Master is biased towards him, could it be that you want to help him compensate! "
Neng Xiu laughed bitterly, "One side wants compensation for raising a dog, and the other side wants compensation for being bitten by a dog. This matter is really not easy to solve … This poor monk would like to compensate, but the property of this temple belongs to the Buddha. This poor monk has nothing on him …"
Neng Xiu pondered for a few breaths of time before saying, "Then let's compensate with flesh." Saying that, he turned to Ye Kong and the others and said, "Three fated people, can I borrow your blades and swords?"
"Oh." Ye Kong and the others also didn't understand. Chu Yi was the fastest. He took out a small exquisite sword and handed it over.
"Thank you, benefactor." Neng Xiu took the small sword, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Eat meat to compensate meat. He ate your dog meat, so I will compensate you with human meat."
Everyone present was stunned. Master Neng Xiu raised his hand and stabbed the small sword into the side of his arm. The small sword was really sharp. Neng Xiu easily cut off a piece of flesh from his upper arm.
Blood dripped, and the flesh was badly mutilated. The onlookers were all dumbfounded. Even the West-Hill Fairy, who had always been indifferent, was shocked speechless.
Neng Xiu's face was neither sad nor happy. His eyes were filled with compassion that could see through the world. He held the piece of meat to the burly man and asked, "Is this enough to compensate for your dog?"
The burly man was already stunned, his mouth opened wide and he didn't know what to do. Neng Xiu looked at him and nodded, "This little bit of meat, it seems that it's still not enough …" With that said, he switched the small sword to his other hand and stabbed it into the other arm.
But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed forward and hugged Neng Xiu's arm, crying sadly, "Enough, enough, Master, please don't cut anymore. It's my fault."
The one who hugged Neng Xiu's arm was the thin man who ate dog meat. His eyes were completely crimson and filled with tears as he swiftly withdrew silver, immortal stones, and even immortal jade from his sleeve, and he didn't even look at the amount before tossing it all over to the robust man while he shouted, "Here, I'll give it all to you. Is that enough!?"
With the amount of money he threw out, not to mention one dog, he could even buy ten or a hundred dogs.
The burly man turned a blind eye to the property on the ground and knelt in front of Neng Xiu. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he kept kowtowing, saying, "Master, it's my fault. You used your own flesh and blood to enlighten us … Your flesh, we can't afford it. I know I'm wrong, I really know, I won't raise evil dogs in the future. "
The thin man also knelt down and said, "I was wrong, I won't kill dogs anymore."
The onlookers all knelt down and kept admitting their mistakes.
Master Neng Xiu smiled faintly and said, "In the world, who can be free from mistakes? Nothing is better than changing one's mistakes."
The crowd said again, "We are ignorant, I'm afraid we will still make mistakes."
Neng Xiu smiled and said, "Abstain from greed and anger, and be compassionate. Even if you make a mistake, you won't be too wrong. Think about this matter, the dog owner looked for someone to reason with, the dog eater also looked for someone to reason with, but who could the dog reason with? Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. "
The people all nodded in agreement and swore not to kill. Neng Xiu did not say much, and turned around to return the small sword to Chu Yi.
At this moment, Ye Kong could not help but admire this monk. Cutting off one's own flesh to enlighten a world that he did not know, Ye Kong could not do it, so he admired him.
Ye Kong chanted Buddha's name and said, "Go straight to the heart and become a Buddha immediately. Master has already become a Buddha."
Neng Xiu looked at him and said with a smile, "You can also become a Buddha."
Ye Kong said, "I've killed too much …"
Neng Xiu shook his head and said, "Put down the butcher's knife immediately."
However, Ye Kong still shook his head, "No, some things have to be done, some people have to be killed. After all, not everyone in this world is as easy to enlighten as those two people just now."
"Can evil people be completely killed?" Neng Xiu asked.
"Kill one less!"
Neng Xiu sighed and led the three into the Fo Lin Temple.
In the Fo Lin Temple, it was really like a forest. Buddhist pagodas that were like bamboo shoots pierced the sky, densely packed, and it was unknown how many there were.
Walking among them and looking up, it was as if there were countless giant swords erected, making people feel awe.
There was no one in the Fo Lin Temple, and they did not meet a single monk along the way. They did not know if Neng Xiu was the abbot or an ordinary monk, so the three could only follow him.
Not long later, the three of them arrived under the huge Buddha statue. From afar, they could still see the whole picture, but when they came under the Buddha statue, they could not see it. Especially when they stood behind the huge statue, they only felt that the Buddha statue was like a golden mountain.
"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, only because I'm in this mountain." Ye Kong could not help but sigh.
Master Neng Xiu said with a smile, "Amitabha, Master Ye is indeed eloquent. Some things have to be seen from afar. But in the eyes of us Buddhist disciples, there's not much difference whether it's a mountain or a statue. "
Ye Kong thought to himself, 'If that's the case, what's the point of erecting this Buddha statue? It's better to erect a mountain.'
Perhaps he saw through Ye Kong's thoughts, that Master Neng Xiu actually waved his hand, and the Buddha statue collapsed, turning into a stone mountain.
Ye Kong hurriedly said, "Master Neng Xiu, don't be like this, I was wrong."
Neng Xiu said with a smile, "Buddha is the mountain, the mountain is Buddha, there's no difference. I'm the one who was wrong, not you." After saying that, Neng Xiu said again, "That Buddha light can only be received at the top of the Buddha statue. I ask the three fated people to follow me up the mountain."
He raised his hand again, and a golden light shot out. They saw that the back of the Buddha statue was actually illuminated by this golden light, and a straight and flat path was actually illuminated. The three of them were amazed in their hearts. They didn't know what level of cultivation this Master Neng Xiu was at, but he destroyed a mountain with a wave of his hand and opened a path with a raise of his hand. If this ability was in the Celestial World, perhaps even the Celestial Emperor would not be able to do so.
The three of them followed Neng Xiu to the top of the mountain. Because of the collapse, the Buddha statue's head had been deformed, and it had become a broken platform.
Ye Kong sighed in his heart. The Buddha statue was originally fine, but because of his words, it became like this. He was indeed a little apologetic, but this Monk Neng Xiu was a bit too abnormal. Cutting the flesh to redeem people, destroying the statue to redeem people, and doing things that harm oneself to benefit others was really admirable. However, Ye Kong didn't dare to say or think too much, for fear that this Neng Xiu would do something abnormal again.
The three of them stood still, and Neng Xiu said, "Don't be impatient, the poor monk will invite the Buddha light."
Master Neng Xiu came to the middle of the platform and bowed to the sky. Then, he took out a golden relic. The relic immediately flew up and rose into the air, forming a pillar of light that shot into the sky. The pillar of light was as thick as a person's body, piercing the sky, and no one knew how high it was.
Ye Kong and the other two suddenly felt that the pillar of light was filled with Buddha's power. Standing not far from the pillar of light, they couldn't help but have a yearning for Buddha in their hearts. They seemed to hear the sound of countless people chanting sutras in the sky.
Only then did Neng Xiu turn back and say, "The Buddha light is limited, and only one person can enter and exit. Master Ye, West-Hill Fairy, Grandma Chu, among the three of you, who will enter?"
Chu Yixin said, "Not good, I disguised as an old woman to deceive people, afraid that the stinky men would stare at me." Now it backfired. This Master Neng Xiu was also a man. Seeing that she looked so ugly, she was afraid that she would be at a disadvantage in the competition between the three of them.
Thereupon Chu Yi hurriedly raised her hand and with a 'cha' sound tore off the human skin disguise on her face, revealing a beautiful face that could be easily broken by the wind. She smiled sweetly and said, "This little girl will listen to Master Nengxiu's decision."
Ye Kong thought, "Shameless, seeing a useful person, she showed her face and talked more. This Chu Yixin is really a character."
