Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 482 Give Chen Xuanzang a thorn in his heart

"Water demon, exorcist, this is Journey to the West Conquering Demons, I am the unknown Taoist who fried fish at the beginning..." Yang Xin murmured.

At this time, Yang Xin was standing on a small boat in the water, holding a burning ancient grenade in his hand, and there were many fishermen hiding in the water village not far away, staring at him nervously.

"Well, the composition of gunpowder is too complicated, and its lethality is greatly reduced, but it can still be used to fry fish." Yang Xin said, throwing the grenade in his hand into the water.

There was a "bang~" sound, water splashed everywhere, and each fish was blown over, and then a big Gouchi fish also surfaced with its white belly turned over.

With a thought of Yang Xin, this huge Gushi fish flew up into the air and landed in the water village. Yang Xin also flew up into the air and came to the water village as if walking in the void, and looked at the water demon in the water mockingly. glance.

This water demon is the future Sha Wujing. This world is a simplified version of Journey to the West, which can barely be called a small world of Journey to the West. Therefore, the future Sha Wujing is not a rolling curtain general at all, but a water demon. It's just that the luck on this water monster is astonishing. It seems that the Buddhists in this world have also put in all their efforts to travel to the west.

This wave of Yang Xin's operations completely stunned the people in the water village. The people in the water village were overjoyed and ran over in a hurry. All kinds of flattery came like a tide. Yang Xin didn't care, just It's just a transaction, and Yang Xin doesn't have a good sense of people in this other world.

Because the water demon is not a born demon. The predecessor of the water demon was a kind person. He wanted to save a child who fell into the water, but was mistaken by the villagers for a human trafficker, so he was beaten to death and thrown into the river. The kind person died. The dead body was devoured by the fish, and the water demon was full of resentment, so he turned into a demon and came back to take revenge on the villagers.

Ignorance, ignorance, disobedience to the law, wanton killing, these people are not good people, Yang Xin has a feeling, he can feel that the world is full of smog and evil spirits, and the ecstasy expressions of these fishermen hide their eyes. ferocious.

"The human heart is like a demon, and a hundred ghosts travel at night. There are people who hang out in it and never get tired of it, even happier than ghosts; a hundred people are in the city, and people know that ghosts are scary, and ghosts know that people are poisonous. No wonder the Buddhists in this world need Chen Xuanzang to go west. This is to cross the world. , transform people’s hearts.”

"It's a pity that people's hearts can't be transformed simply. Moreover, this kind of transformation can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The more forceful the pressure, the more intense the resistance will be. When the pressure reaches the extreme, the outbreak will be stronger." Yang Xin said in confidence. Faintly moving.

"Thank you, Taoist, for bringing down this demon for my water village." The village head of the water village said quickly, and offered some special products such as silver taels and salted fish.

"This Gu's fish is not the water demon." When the fishermen in the water village were celebrating together, a voice came.

"I am the exorcist Chen Xuanzang, who came here specially to eliminate the demon. This Gu's fish is not a water demon. The real water demon is still hidden in the water. This Taoist priest has not really eliminated the demon." Chen Xuanzang said.

As soon as Chen Xuanzang said the words, the fishermen immediately glared at them. It would be fine if they just said that the Gushi fish was not a water demon, but when Yang Xin was implicated, the fishermen immediately became angry, because no matter whether it was Yang Xin's idea of ​​capturing the fish or flying across the sky, it would be fine. , were deeply impressed by these fishermen. In the eyes of the fishermen, Yang Xin was definitely a top exorcist.

Yang Xin looked at the fisherman with a ferocious face, and said "Sure enough" in his heart, and Yang Xin deeply felt the evil spirit in this world. If the evil spirit was not strong, how could the king of all monsters, Sun Wukong, be born with evil spirit.

"Kill him!" With a cry, the fishermen swarmed up, as if they wanted to vent their anger caused by the killing of the water demon.

"Stop!" Yang Xin yelled softly, and at the same time it exploded in the fishermen's ears, it was like a blast of extremely cold air. All the fishermen shuddered all over in an instant, stopped subconsciously, and looked at Yang Xin in fear.

Since you can get rid of demons, you can also get rid of people.

Yang Xin didn't have a good look at these fishermen, and when he didn't like what he wanted, he threw his fist at those who were weaker than himself, and wanted to put them to death. Can these people really be saved by Buddhism alone?

If Yang Xin was asked to help them change their lives, Yang Xin wouldn't bother to care. Their behavior would have already made Yang Xin frustrated.This wave of human race is not good, Yang Xin would rather launch the Eternal Night to destroy the world like Haotian, and then shed light, rather than rescue these people who can't support the wall with mud.

However, fortunately, Yang Xin is not alone at this time, there are masters and others in Yang Xin's chessboard world, and Yang Xin directly pushes the matter of saving the world to them in his heart, believing that they can educate people in this world.

"Your Excellency the exorcist is right. This Gu's fish is not a water monster. The real water monster is still hidden in the bottom of the water." Yang Xin said.

All the fishermen were in an uproar, but there was no trace of guilt towards Chen Xuanzang on their faces, only indifference and indifference.The people can let them know what they want, and the ancient policy of ignoring the people still has some truth, because the people's wisdom is not yet developed, and it doesn't make sense to reason with them. to educate.

"The exorcist Chen Xuanzang met the Taoist priest, but he didn't expect the Taoist priest to know that this Gushi fish is not a water demon." Chen Xuanzang was quite excited when he saw Yang Xin agreeing with his statement, and vaguely felt that he had met someone who could talk to him on an equal footing.

"Go, use your skills and clean up this Gushi fish. I want to have a chat with this exorcist, and see if I can attract the water demon, and get to know it." Yang Xin said nothing. Said politely, and casually threw a piece of silver to the village chief as wages.

"Don't they bother to eat the Taoist priest to get rid of demons for them? How can they ask for the Taoist priest's money if the Taoist priest wants to eat fish?" Chen Xuanzang asked puzzled.

"It's just a transaction. I help them get rid of demons. They give me money. They cook for me. I give them money. It's so simple. If I don't give them money, they will cook for me. It involves deeper emotional issues, maybe they will really be grateful to Dade, maybe they are grateful to Dade on the surface, but they are scolding us for eating nonsense and so on..."

"Whether it's positive or negative, it's all about feelings. Since it's a transaction, don't talk about feelings! To us exorcists, they are just strangers we have met. We all abide by our respective contracts and do not mix Any feeling, how good it is, quiet and at ease." Yang Xin laughed.

Chen Xuanzang blinked, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't subduing demons and demons for the benefit of the world?"

Yang Xin looked at Chen Xuanzang strangely, and asked with a smile: "Brother Chen wants to rebel and become the emperor, and wants to be the supreme throne?"

Chen Xuanzang's face immediately turned pale with a "shua~", he waved his hands again and again and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Taoist priest, I don't have that kind of thought."

"If you don't have that kind of thinking, why do you want to benefit the world? Benefiting the world is something that the emperor and the court ministers need to consider. What we exorcists have to do is to cast down demons and eliminate demons. To put it more simply, we take people's money and replace them Eliminate disasters. It is said that if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government; if you are in your position, you will seek your own government. Since Brother Chen is an exorcist, let's do a good job in this glorious and great profession of exorcist." Yang Xin teased and said, by the way, let's see if Chen Xuanzang's thinking and three views can be reversed.

"I don't agree with you. It's the duty of an exorcist to cast down demons and eliminate demons for people. If the villagers are grateful for some money, that's what they should do. If the villagers don't give it, then they can't force it. I think that all exorcists in the world should be like this .” Chen Xuanzang said.

"Brother Chen, I think you are a kind person. I didn't expect you to be such a vicious person. You are not good enough to plan. Brother Chen, please." Yang Xin pretended to be angry, and waved his big hand as if to chase someone away.

Chen Xuanzang was stunned, and finally found a person who could talk to him. Unexpectedly, he broke up in two sentences, and Chen Xuanzang was inexplicable. Therefore, Chen Xuanzang asked unwillingly: "Why did the Taoist priest say that he has a vicious heart? Please tell the Taoist priest. , otherwise, even if I am not as good as the Taoist priest, I have to fight with the Taoist priest to understand."

"Okay! I'll make you understand. You said that exorcists all over the world shouldn't take money by force. Your Excellency, exorcist, have you ever read a book, so you know the old story of Zigong's redemption?" Yang Xinhao Said bluntly.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a law in the State of Lu that if a Lu citizen became a slave abroad, if someone could redeem them, he could go to the treasury to reimburse the ransom. Once, Zigong, a disciple of Confucius, ransomed a Lu citizen abroad, but he refused after returning home. Receive state compensation."

"When Confucius learned about it, he said: Zigong did something wrong. From now on, the people of Lu will no longer redeem slaves from other countries. Receiving compensation from the state will not damage your character; but if you do not receive compensation, Lu There will be no one in the country to redeem their compatriots who were killed."

"Zi Lu, another disciple of Confucius, rescued a drowning man. The man thanked him for giving him a cow, and Zi Lu accepted it. Confucius said happily: People of Lu will be brave enough to rescue drowning people from now on."

"What's the difference between you and Zigong? If things go on like this, there will still be people in the world who become exorcists? To become an exorcist, not only do you have to risk your life to fight demons, but you can't ask for property. If you do, you have bad conduct. "

"If you fight a demon and die, no one will get a pension. Who will take care of the family? If you are injured, you have to spend money to buy medicine to treat your injuries. Who will do such a thankless thing? Without the exorcist, who will To deal with monsters, you are just sitting back and watching the human race be eaten up by monsters."

"You are going to drive the exorcists to extinction, and use the blood of all the exorcists and the blood of the human race to achieve your reputation alone. You are too selfish. Your behavior is rape and a traitor to the human race. I despise it." Be with you! Get out!" Yang Xin roared unceremoniously.

Chen Xuanzang was dumbfounded. The act of benefiting the world he persisted in did not expect to be an act of rebellion, and the noble moral sentiment he was proud of turned out to be an act of destroying the human race and an act of rape.

For a moment, Chen Xuanzang's eyes straightened.

Chen Xuanzang instinctively wanted to object, but when he thought about it carefully, what he said made sense. You can be morally noble, you can be high-minded, but you can't ask others to be like this.Not only can you not ask for this, but you can't do it. If you do this, it will be the same as Zi Gong's ransom. It is a typical bad thing done with good intentions.

At this time, the fishermen in the water village brought up the Gushi fish. The Gushi fish was too big. These fishermen cut the Gushi fish into eight pieces, braised them in soy sauce, minced garlic, steamed them, etc., trying to satisfy Yang Xin’s taste. After all, Yang Xin had to be pointed at to eliminate the demon.

"What's wrong with this exorcist?" The head of the fisherman's village did not dare to take a breath and asked.

"This is not an exorcist, this is a traitor, don't talk to him." Yang Xin said bluntly, and then began to taste the Gu's fish, not to mention, it may be the reason why this world is full of vitality, Gu's fish The taste is really good.

"Master Daoist, I don't think that what I did was wrong, but what Master Daoist said is very reasonable. Please enlighten me." Chen Xuanzang bowed and asked. If he didn't untie this knot, Chen Xuanzang would feel that he would Like a walking dead, not only doubting life, but also bearing the infamy of adultery.

"For the sake of your modesty, I will give you a few words of advice. You are a typical good-intentioned person who does bad things. Moreover, you do not abide by the rules, do not abide by the rules, have no spirit of contract, and do not abide by the law. If you continue like this, you will definitely Disaster to the world, the damage you have brought is greater than the damage caused by Monkey King, the king of all demons." Yang Xin said.

"I don't understand, let me tell you, why can our human race gain a foothold in the world of demons and ghosts? There are many answers, and they are very broad, because there are many things involved, but the core point is rules and laws. With rules And the law, everyone will abide by it, and will do things according to the rules and the law."

"Peasants cultivate the land, merchants do business, craftsmen make tools, scholars teach and manage the world, exorcists kill demons, and trading is also a type of rules and laws. The Tang Dynasty divided all demons into grades according to their strength, and then Clearly mark the price, how much it costs to get rid of which level of demons, so that the exorcist will use his own strength to subdue demons and eliminate demons."

"The exorcist gets rid of the demons, and the common people can save their lives, resume production, etc. This is a complete ecological circle, and every link is indispensable and cannot be destroyed. What you did, happened to destroy it. A certain link leads to a complete breakdown of the entire ecosystem, and in the end, of course, the people suffer.”

"The rules and laws of the Tang Dynasty have undergone such long-term changes. Although there may be some flaws in some details, they have been practiced. It is because of this that the people of the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment. Can you tell me what I said? Do you understand?" Yang Xin asked.

For Chen Xuanzang, who has not received a nine-year compulsory education, he can't be too detailed, because he can't understand it at all. Moreover, this kind of thing is so complicated that even if he talks about it for three days and three nights, he still can't understand it. Yang Xin can only choose the most popular words.

Chen Xuanzang was silent for a while, and asked silently: "Could it be that everything I did before was wrong."

"There is nothing wrong with subjugating demons and demons, but you can't break the rules, and the rules don't harm the interests of others, just like this fishing village. If there is no reward, I won't come. If I don't come, these fishermen may be caught by the water." The demons have been eaten, I’m here, the demons are eliminated, they survived, isn’t it a matter of course to give some rewards? Brother Chen, I don’t understand, who instilled in you these thoughts of breaking the rules and breaking the law ?” Yang Xin asked.

"It's my master." Chen Xuanzang said subconsciously.

"Then does your master know the consequences of your doing so? If you don't know, it's understandable, but if you know and let you do it, then I can only say that your master will be punished! Or, you The master is not a human being at all, but a demon who turned into a human form, and used this method of soft knife stewing meat to break the laws of the Tang Dynasty, destroy the exorcist, and destroy our human race." Yang Xin said.

"This... I don't know. The master just told me to cast down demons without asking for anything in return, and then realize great love and benefit the world." Chen Xuanzang said blankly.

"Then who is your master?" Yang Xin asked, but there was a cold light in Yang Xin's eyes.
