[Journey to the West] Tucao Emperor who was delayed by Buddhism

When Hui An told me this story, he called Jingzhe a little fox and Seventeen a little fox. Later, he couldn’t remember which one was a little fox. It is a miracle on earth to be able to understand.

Later he told me that these two foxes have names, the big one is Jingzhe and the small one is Shiqi.

I:? ? ?

Then why don't you just say the name?

Hui An looked at me and said solemnly: "No, because they are all foxes. If they are called by name, they will look a bit like human beings, which will create obstacles for you, Master...

You figure out how to easily cause obstacles, okay?

So, he continued to tell me about the little fox and the little fox, so angry that I almost kicked his lotus platform over and kicked him into the abyss.

All in all, after he told me for a long time how his seemingly flawless plan was to deceive me, he suddenly fell silent, and the story came to an abrupt end.

I said, "Although it's hateful that you lied to me, you did a good deed. At least you restored the sight of that fox named Shiqi."

Hui An sat quietly, and after a long time, said softly: "No."

He raised his tired eyes to look at me, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master, I always feel that the human race is too ruthless. The son kills the father, and the father kills the son. Originally, the blood is thick and close relatives, and when there is a rift, they are even worse than passers-by. Only when I met that fox did I realize that humans are like this, and beasts are even worse."

"Even if Jing Zhe was greedy and stole the elixir and fine wine, that's fine, but he was born with an extremely vicious temper. It took me a long time to understand that he didn't intend to take care of his younger brother at all, just because of Shi Qi stupid, He doesn't understand anything, only such a big brother treats him well, and he repays him wholeheartedly, but he doesn't know that Jing Zhe is just because he was born with nine tails, and he wants to wait for him to complete his cultivation, so he swallows his cultivation base to prolong his life. !"

"No matter how heartless the people I've met before, they don't kill each other. That day after Jing Zhe stole the elixir and left, he condensed that drop of water in the clean bottle into a bead and put it on his ring, just to show his love to others." To show off how great he is, to deceive the gods, and to steal the elixir, is comparable to Monkey King, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven."

Hui An said, tears fell from his eyes: "Because I hated him so much, I left the South China Sea to hunt him down, thinking how to get back this drop of water for Shi Qi Fuming, but I never imagined that he would be better than him." I was much more cunning. I caught him and wanted to kill him. He begged me to let him go once for the sake of Shi Qi. Waiting to die in the mountains, but never imagined that he was not as seriously injured as he appeared on the surface. As soon as I turned around, he struggled and fled to the mountain stream, swallowed seventeen souls in one gulp, and was able to continue his life. It has increased tenfold."

After Hui An spoke, her voice gradually lowered, like an autumn rain gradually subsiding.He fixedly looked at me, and asked me in a low voice: "Master, what is right and what is wrong in this world? Is it right to kill a life, or is it right to spare a life? I never wanted to help Shi Qi back then, so I wouldn’t have given Jing Zhe an opportunity; if I had killed Jing Zhe with cruelty, Shi Qi would not have been killed by him swallowing his soul. I naturally know the cycle of cause and effect in this world, but Why is this? I only want to help one person, is it wrong?"

"If I hadn't appeared, perhaps Shi Qi had successfully transformed at this moment, and became that bird as he wished. Although one pair of eyes is blind, it has wings to borrow the wind, but now we are both hurt, and we are both... The bamboo basket fetched water in vain, and even the bright traces of the bright moon in the water were shattered, and nothing fell."

The question Hui An asked me, even I couldn't explain it clearly.

A friendship that was originally close to each other had a good start, but it didn't get a good result.

Whether it is human beings or gods, they are all in this huge and inescapable torrent, rolling forward.

If someone asks the Buddha about this matter, he will definitely bother you with that set of words, what to say: He is your doom, and you cannot escape it.

It seems that the destiny is not to see people well. Once people are happy and worry-free, they have to impose some pain to make them afraid, and then sincerely worship Buddhas and gods.

But what about the gods themselves?Not a mess yet.

I didn't know how to answer him at all, so I could only comfort him and said: "Your kindness is good, but it is used by those who are not good. Things in this world are like a reincarnation. A person who suffers When he was injured, he wanted to add the injury he had received to others. When he saw someone, he raised the bloody wound to remind himself: everyone in the world is bad. Later, the wound was infected, and he turned himself into the same bad person as the one he hated at the beginning. , I just hope that you can jump out of this reincarnation and stop harming yourself."

After I comforted him, I suddenly felt that there was something wrong. I recalled what he had said to me before, counted it, and said, "No, you said that day that you violated the precepts of killing, lust, and greed, but this fox doesn't even There is no human figure, how did you commit a crime..."

I didn't realize that this was an extremely dangerous question halfway through the question. I suddenly stopped, looked at my apprentice in astonishment, and looked him up and down. It turned out that he has such a strong taste, but...

Hui An looked at me blankly, saw that I took a step back suddenly, and looked at him with stunned eyes, so he could only look at me puzzled, and asked, "What?"

I can't believe that my apprentice is so courageous. I think if he develops like this, he can be taken by the Buddha to promote the equality of cross-species love. The old man probably likes this promotional theme: great love , a love that has nothing to do with appearance...

I said, "The members of your Li family are really braver than each other..."

Hui An was stared at by me with horrified eyes for a long, long time before he realized what I was talking about. He stared at me with eyes wide open.He was paralyzed all over again, unable to move at all. After being choked, he couldn't stop coughing, his face was distorted in pain, and he couldn't make a complete sound.

I looked at him with emotion and said, "Hui An, you have to know that Master will not discriminate against you..."

It’s okay if I don’t say it, but when I said it, Hui An was almost coughed out of breath, he couldn’t speak, he couldn’t move, I was so angry that I rolled his eyes and gave me a blank stare. He almost choked and nearly spewed out of his lungs.

I gave him comfort and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, Master said it long ago, there will be no species discrimination..."

It was hard for him to calm down. When I said it, his eyes widened in anger, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak, and finally bit hard on the wrist that I gave him, and almost bit out. Blood.

...You damn child, are you a dog? ?

He went through all kinds of hardships, stared at me fiercely and said, "Master, you—"

I observed his expression carefully, and after a while, I asked him cautiously: "Seventeen or Jingzhe?"

Hui An was almost suffocated by my anger, and shouted: "Neither of them!"

After a long time, he said sadly: "Father has made an engagement for me."

After finishing speaking, he opened a pair of timid eyes and said to me: "I... I shouldn't have told you. My father said that people who have gone to the Western Paradise to practice will never return to vulgarity. Knowing that Xi Tian may let me return to serve my parents, but I will definitely not allow me to break the precepts after I return to the vulgar, so I plan to kill and play later, and invite a full house of high-profile guests before I get married, and then force Xi Tian to let me return to vulgarity."

...You child, do you have any misunderstandings about the term lust and caution?

I asked him, "Then you must also like that girl very much?"

I didn't want him but said to me: "I haven't met before, how can I like it?"

... Let me just say that he has some fundamental misunderstanding about Lust, Caution!

But I see that he is so sad, and I can't give him a popular science about what lust and quitting is at this time. It will inevitably appear that I am mean. As a master, I should first enlighten him.

I have heard Manjusri mention this matter a long time ago, but I never imagined that Li Tianwang has thought about the matter so thoughtfully, even the date has been set, and he even planned to use a full house to force me to submit, he Li Tianwang is really amazing, I am persistently refreshing my tolerance for him every day.

I asked him: "Since your father wanted you to return to vulgarity a long time ago, why did you go so far as to send me to be ordained? If you had never been ordained, how could things have come to this point?"

Hui An said sadly: "When he sent me to Master, he never thought that Nezha would come back to life one day. On that day, he smashed Nezha's golden body with a whip, but Nezha's soul came to the west The Buddha begged, and in the end the Buddha molded his body with lotus root and revived him. You also remember that my father, Nata, saved his life because Nezha wanted him to avenge his death by cutting bones and shaving flesh. But His two sons were sent to the west, but the rebellious son who wanted to kill him stayed in his account to lead the army. My father and king could not sleep day and night, sleeping on God Dadan, guarding against the enemy as if guarding against Nezha. Take it with you..."

Hui An said this, stopped suddenly, and suddenly looked at me and smiled bitterly: "Father Wang said, use Nezha to exchange me as Master's apprentice. Anyway, no one wants me since I was a child. Master You don’t want an apprentice like me who knows nothing but sweeping leaves, right? Nezha used to be a teacher under Taiyi Daoist’s sect. He has three heads and six arms, holds Huntian silk in his hand, and steps on the circle of heaven and earth. It's much better to have no crap--"

I really couldn't listen anymore, so I interrupted him directly: "Okay, stop talking."

Hui An: "???"

I said, "I'll give you the clean bottle, I'll give you the wicker, and I'll give you all the treasures in the South China Sea. I don't believe that my majestic Avalokitesvara's apprentice can't compare to the apprentice of that stupid old man Taiyi!"

Hui An: "..."

At first, I wasn’t quite sure if my apprentice said this because he really had low self-esteem, or if he was using what he had learned to coax me with Monkey King’s trick of “crying children get candy”, until he sobbed a bit, With a sad look, he said to me: "Nezha still has three heads and six arms..."

……

It's all that bastard Monkey King, who completely led my good apprentice down.

I said, "It's okay, you still have the Dragon Girl of Shancai to support you. If anyone bullies you, I will let the Dragon Girl of Shancai follow you to fight in groups."

Hui An: "..."

As soon as I said that, he really didn't dare to talk anymore, and completely shut up for me.

I asked him: "Actually, your father doesn't have to be like this. If he wants you to go back, he can come to me to discuss it. Why invite a full house to force me? Besides, whether you want to go back to your father is up to you." If you want to go back to heaven to lead troops under your father’s tent, I will let you go, and I don’t want him to take any Nezha as my disciple. My Western Heaven is different from his Eastern Land. The son guards against the old, and treats my apprentice like him as a slave and as a pawn. You just tell me, are you willing to go back?"

Hui An shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know."

"Master, I don't know."

"I can't disobey the orders of my parents, because I have already learned from my younger brother - I am not him after all, and I don't have the courage to cut bones and shave meat and return to my parents. But I am not reconciled, I don't want to be oppressed by this cage for the rest of my life. , I just want to see right and wrong with my own eyes, and I can’t even do a little freedom.”

"I thought I would be able to get rid of that mountain if I studied as a teacher in Xitian, but now I realize that the mountain has already weighed on me and bent my back."

At the end, he gave a bleak smile and said: "I counted as killing that white fox, but in the end I still broke the precept of killing. Master wants to keep me, but I'm afraid he won't be able to keep me."

I said, "You silly boy."

If I don't say it, I'm afraid he won't be able to see it until now.

I took the clean bottle, dipped the water in the clean bottle with a willow branch, waved at the white fox corpse, and said, "You still can't see through the illusions in this world."

Where the water drops passed, the fox's corpse, which was as huge as a hill, fell down, and collapsed in an instant, like a flower quickly withering, leaving only the dry skin.

I said: "He knew he couldn't beat you, so he tore off his own skin cruelly, made an illusion, and covered it on the dead leaves, but he escaped."

"Hui An, you have a kind heart, and you can't compare to his cruelty and viciousness."

I lifted the bloody fox fur and showed him the rotten leaves underneath: "See? It's just a pool of rotten leaves. He put the lotus petals on the fur, but he disappeared. Although his appearance was ruined, he got a life."

Hui An's eyes widened in astonishment, looking at the rotten leaf, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his chest in anger, and he gritted his teeth, "Even if I search all over the world, I will find this fox!"

I shook my head and said, "It's useless."

"You were seriously injured at that time. You thought the fox was dead. Have you noticed the petal you picked?"

Hui An was stunned.

I said: "He endured severe pain and stole your lotus petals, and then disappeared, so that even I can't find him. Hui An, you still have the deceitful heart of demons and ghosts!" How little is known."

"To be honest, although this monster is vicious and humble, I admire him for his determination. He can destroy his own appearance with his own hands, and he can escape even if he is skinned. If he dares to defeat a fairy baby, he will endure it for hundreds of years just to deceive you. ——With his temperament, sooner or later, he will cause even bigger disasters."

I saw the expression on his gritted teeth, and suddenly said: "Even a fox in the lower realm is desperately trying to change his own destiny. Are you going to bow to your father just because of this? I don't believe it."

"My disciple of Avalokitesvara, no one can make him admit defeat."
