Monk Hui Ming really surrendered. Everyone's gaze towards him became strange.
"Young master, you can't even protect yourself now. If I kill someone again, what will you do?"
Chen Jiezhi went behind Hui Ming and placed his palm on Hui Ming's back. He could release his palm force at any time, not giving Hui Ming any chance to use his Buddhist skills again.
"I can't do anything, but I have to try."
Hui Ming put his palms together and said, "I believe that everyone in the world is kind. It's just that they are forced by the situation, so they don't show their kindness. If the outside world doesn't force people into helplessness, they won't treat each other with malice."
Slowly, Chen Jiezhi said, "But now, even your life is in my hands. If I make a move, you can't even save yourself.
If you really want to save people, you'd better escape by yourself. Tell me, if I dare to kill people, you will kill my nephew in revenge.
In this way, I may be afraid, and these Tang Army and your own lives will be saved. "
"Almsgiver, what you've said is indeed a solution." The young monk said, "Unfortunately, I really can't do it."
Chen Jiezhi waved his hand and ordered his men to take away the Tang Army captives.
"Young master, do you know that these people can live as long as they put down their weapons and surrender?"
Hui Ming chanted Buddha's name. "I don't know, but it's a blessing for all living beings that you have the virtue of caring for all living beings."
"A person with the virtue of caring for all living beings is the City Lord of Chang 'an." Chen Jiezhi said, "We are just following His Majesty's example."
Monk Hui Ming said, "That's great …"
However, he was once again interrupted by Chen Jiezhi. "However, there's one thing I said just now that is absolutely true. If we were the ones who fell under the Eastern Tang's blade, not a single one of us would survive!"
Monk Hui Ming's expression became serious. "If I have the chance, I will also save people from the Eastern Tang's knife."
"It's hard to say whether you have the chance." Chen Jiezhi personally escorted him back to Chang 'an. "Only His Majesty can decide."
Monk Hui Ming was sent back to Chang 'an.
After Zhang Dongyun understood the whole story, he couldn't help but smile.
He projected Mr. Dark Cloud to tell Chen Jiezhi to go back to Hexi County and continue expanding the territory. Then, he carried the little monk to Daming Palace.
At the same time, he called Shen Herong over.
The little girl transformed into the appearance of a young scholar. She was dressed in white and sat below Zhang Dongyun.
Mr Dark Cloud brought the little monk Hui Ming to the main hall and put him down.
Hui Ming tidied his clothes and looked up at Zhang Dongyun who was enveloped by the radiance. He clasped his palms together and said, "I am Hui Ming. Greetings, City Lord."
Zhang Dongyun sat at the top and didn't say anything.
The white-robed scholar at the side chuckled, "I heard that Little Master imitated Buddha and cut off his flesh to feed the eagles?"
Hui Ming said, "I have been taught by my master since I was young that Buddhist disciples should be compassionate."
"Compassionate?" The white-robed scholar smiled, "It's just the domination of power."
Hui Ming clasped his palms together and said, "You are exaggerating. Buddha just couldn't bear to see living creatures die, so he cut off his own flesh."
"Cutting off his own flesh is indeed much better than cutting off others," the white-robed scholar said calmly, "But it still doesn't change the nature of the domination of power."
He looked at the young monk calmly and said, "The eagle wanted to eat the pigeon's flesh. Why did it eat Buddha's flesh? Buddha did offer his flesh, but that was after he took away the eagle's right to choose. "
The scholar smiled and said, "Yes, the eagle had one choice left, which was to not eat Buddha's flesh and starve to death."
Hui Ming frowned, "What you are saying, is it natural survival of the fittest? Buddha cut off his flesh to feed the eagle in the hope that both birds could survive, that both lives could be saved. "
"It's Buddha who decides the survival of the fittest," the scholar replied casually.
The scholar casually replied, "He could choose to eliminate only one or both of them, but in the end, he chose not to eliminate either of them."
Hui Ming frowned more and more.
The scholar's tone was still relaxed, "In this story, I can see Buddha's compassion, but I can also see that all living creatures are not equal.
Buddha can decide his own life and death, the pigeon's life and death, and the eagle's life and death.
As for the eagle, he can only choose to resist Buddha and die, or live according to Buddha. "
When Hui Ming heard this, his expression became more relaxed, "All living creatures have always been equal, but most people are blinded by their practice and can't see their true nature. Buddha is just one step ahead, and all living creatures can become Buddha through cultivation."
"Is that so?" The scholar asked, "It seems like the eagle eats the pigeon because the eagle cultivates more than the pigeon, and is closer to Buddha."
"Killing is evil, if you can't see through this, the eagle will become a pigeon in the next life, and the pigeon will become an eagle," Hui Ming said.
The scholar smiled, "In that case, the eagle of this life is the pigeon of the previous life, and the pigeon of this life is the eagle of the previous life."
Hui Ming put his palms together, "Revenge breeds revenge, and reincarnation will never end. Buddha sacrificed himself to save others with great compassion and cut off the karma."
"Well said, so Buddha is not controlling their life and death, nor is he saving them, but enlightening them?"
The scholar clapped lightly, "If the eagle refuses to eat Buddha's flesh and dies, it's because he is stubborn. It can't be counted as Buddha's killing karma, right?"
"Of course …" Hui Ming hesitated halfway through his words.
Zhang Dongyun suddenly knocked on the armrest of the chair, "That's enough."
The scholar in white smiled slightly and didn't say anything else.
Little monk Hui Ming turned his gaze upwards.
"The person you want to save won't die, but you are obstructing Chang 'an's work because of this." Zhang Dongyun imitated the voice of the Evil Emperor and spoke.
The little monk put his palms together and bowed, "I was reckless and interfered without knowing the truth. I'm ashamed of myself.
Senior, you have the virtue of caring for living creatures and not killing many people. I admire you.
To express my apology, if you have any orders, I will do my best as long as I can do it.
However, please forgive me for offending you. After all, war is not a blessing for the common people. If we can negotiate a truce, it will be a blessing for the common people. I hope you will reconsider. "
Zhang Dongyun didn't get angry when he heard this. He only said lightly, "Under my rule, the common people are happier than under any other rule."
Hui Ming opened her mouth and choked on the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
The scholar in white next to him spoke again, "Facts speak louder than words. Little master, why don't you take a walk around Chang 'an and then walk around the Eastern Tang. Everything will be clear."
"Benefactor's words are reasonable."
Hui Ming nodded, "I originally planned to go to Xinyuan County in the north of the Eastern Tang to take a look.
Previously, I met the villagers who fled from there. They said that there was a Huan Tianlong causing trouble there, forcing the local people to leave their homes.
I plan to go there and help the people drive out the Huan Tianlong. "
He didn't mean it, but the other two in the hall listened attentively.
"Huan Tianlong? That's rare. "
Zhang Dongyun's tone seemed casual, "Bring this Huan Tianlong back to Chang 'an, and I won't pursue the matter of Hexi County."
Hui Ming was slightly surprised when he heard this. However, he immediately agreed, "As long as I can capture this demon, I will definitely bring it back for you."
He didn't lie. If Chang 'an didn't send people to keep an eye on him, he would definitely bring the Huan Tianlong back even if he left now.
If he didn't capture it, he would still come back and give an explanation.
"Set off later. Someone will go with you," Zhang Dongyun said.
Hui Ming thought that he was being watched, but he didn't mind, "I understand. I will follow your arrangements."
The young monk left the hall.
The scholar in white in the hall turned back into a ten-year-old girl.
"Why bully a child?" Zhang Dongyun's tone was indifferent.
"He's too young. If it were an old bald man, how could he be swayed so easily? My sister didn't even beat him. "
Shen Herong smiled, "But it's not easy to reach the seventh realm of Buddhism at such a young age. Buddhism talks about epiphany, but the more it's like this, the more it shows that this little monk is talented."
Hui Ming was only sixteen years old this year, but he had already reached the seventh realm of Buddhism, the Sumeru Realm.
Even with Shen Herong's experience, he could be considered a genius in Buddhist cultivation.
Zhang Dongyun didn't comment much on Hui Ming. He just looked at Shen Herong and said, "You are indeed more playful than before."
"I'm sorry to make you laugh."
After Shen Herong laughed, his expression became serious, "Although Yechuan County and Xinyuan County are far apart, it should be Eleventh Brother."
"Ape Dragon King" Ao Kong had the blood of the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape and the Huan Tianlong at the same time.
Zhang Dongyun nodded slightly.
He was puzzled.
Was he going to be slapped in the face?
When he talked with Shen Herong before, they both judged that as long as there was no big accident, Ao Kong, who was not in the right state, could only turn into the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape and not the Huan Tianlong.
Was there really a big accident?
Zhang Dongyun was very curious.
Where did this unexpected change come from?
"I'll go to Xinyuan County with that little monk again." Shen Herong's childish face was full of seriousness.
"Then I'll leave it to Twelfth Sister." Zhang Dongyun nodded.
"Although my sister has just broken through to the eighth realm, Eleventh Brother may also have some new changes. We have to be careful."
Shen Herong said, "I'll still take Qing Tian Yan with me. If there is a situation, I may need your guidance."
"Don't worry." Zhang Dongyun said.
Shen Herong used the identity of the Great Ming Palace's maid, Ming Yixue, and set off together with the small monk, Hui Ming.
At first, Hui Ming thought that the City of Chang 'an sent people to monitor him to prevent him from secretly escaping.
However, looking at Ming Yixue, who was a few years younger than him, he was a little uncertain about the City Lord of Chang 'an's intentions.
He, who was simple by nature, could not help but reflect on himself for measuring the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure.
Hui Ming found that the little girl in front of him was quietly looking at his head.
Noticing Hui Ming's gaze, the little girl quickly lowered her head.
Hui Ming smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
The little girl said hesitantly in a clear voice, "Brother, your hair …"
Hui Ming suddenly understood. "Yes, there are not many Buddhist disciples here. No wonder you're curious. I'm a monk. After shaving, I naturally have no hair."
The little girl regained her calm appearance and nodded like a little adult. "I see."
Hui Ming could not help but smile. He took the little girl out of the city.
The little girl adjusted the hat on her head.
There was a sky-blue pearl hidden in the hat.
