Chapter 938: On Buddhism, Zen and Murderous Intent
"There is no Buddha in my heart! Monster!"
"Love the world of mortals! Idiot!"
"The murderous intention is too serious! The crime is serious!"
The faces of the monks changed dramatically, and they could no longer sit still. They chanted the name of the Buddha and shouted at Jiang Tian.
Suddenly, dark clouds came over, the golden light turned murderous, and a chilling smell filled the surroundings.
Only Bai Ze chuckled, hoping for a fight between the two parties.
"Monster? Idiot? Am I guilty?"
Jiang Tian originally didn't want to pay attention to these old gangsters, but seeing them standing on the moral high ground, he couldn't help but become angry.
He raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Master Pudu, distinguished monks, let me ask you -"
"If everyone becomes a monk and does not give birth, does not get married, does not marry, and has no children, will the human race be extinct in a hundred years and thousands of years? Human beings have no grudges or enmities against you, so why do you want to destroy the human race!"
All the monks were stunned, dumbfounded for a moment.
The muscles on Pudu's cheeks twitched and he said in a cold voice: "The benefactor is possessed by demons. Our Demon-Suppressing Temple has never allowed people in the world to become monks! What I'm talking about is that you wage war against the people of the world..."
"If I kill a few people, how will it compare to the annihilation of the human race?" Jiang Tian asked.
"you……"
Master Pudu and the monks were speechless, their faces were angry and ashamed.
Only Zen Master Dexin showed a hint of deep thought.
"Okay, don't worry about this, I'll ask you again!"
Jiang Tian asked:
"I heard that your demon-suppressing temple kills tens of thousands of monsters every year, countless, but you also preach compassion and not killing. Are those monsters life? Are they living creatures?"
"Monster beasts are not of my race. The weak prey on the strong, so they should be killed!"
An Arhat roared loudly.
"You eat grains and plants. Are plant grains life? Are you preying on the weak?"
Jiang Tian asked rhetorically.
"This...this is not the same thing at all!"
This Arhat's name is Pu Zhao, and he is Pu Du's junior disciple. He has profound Buddhist teachings and is best at Zen meditation. He often leads people to become Buddhas in the form of questions and answers.
At this time, he was questioned by Jiang Tian so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he was speechless.
Jiang Tian sacrificed an elixir seed and used Qinglong Xuanshui Gong to bring about creation.
Suddenly, the seeds sprouted, sprouted green leaves, and formed branches. The leaves were green and flowery buds appeared on them.
With a pop, the flowers bloomed, delicate and beautiful.
"Pretty?"
Jiang Tian's eyes showed a hint of kindness and he asked softly.
"Beautiful!" Puzhao's eyes were a little obsessed and he said blankly.
Jiang Tian handed the flower to him and said calmly: "Flower seeds are alive like food. How many lives have you eaten in this life? When will you repay them? If they have spirits, they will attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and become Monster, I'm afraid they will cry and shout, "You killed hundreds of millions of their kind? Have you ever thought that there are hundreds of millions of ghosts of flowers and plants surrounding you, crying towards you day and night?"
"You say that all living beings are equal, that flowers and plants have spirits, and that they have become demons, but you want to subjugate demons and protect the Tao. Are they unjust?"
As soon as Jiang Tian finished speaking, the scene fell into dead silence.
Puzhao held the flower in his hand, his whole body was shaking violently, his face became more and more frightened, he felt that the flower turned into an evil ghost and demanded its life.
Suddenly, he fell to the ground and howled: "I ate countless of your kind. My sin is so deep that it is difficult to resolve. I am willing to be a handful of ashes to feed you!"
After saying that, countless karmic fires ignited all over his body, burning him into ashes in an instant. His magic power was so deep that the flower was not harmed at all. It fell into the ashes, still bright and swaying gently.
"Senior Brother Puzhao, you are confused!"
Everyone was stunned, in disbelief, unable to say a word.
"Jiang Taichu, you said evil and killed people! You slandered Buddha, your sin is unforgivable!"
After a few seconds, several eminent monks shouted in horror.
"You can eat plants and flowers, why can't flowers eat you?"
Jiang Tian said calmly:
"What is the difference between him sacrificing himself to feed flowers and cutting meat with Buddha to feed eagles, and the ancient allusion of Moko Saqing in the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" in which he sacrificed his life to feed tigers? In the legend, Moko Saqing later became a Buddha, and I also helped to enlighten him. Why do you blame me for becoming a Buddha? Why do you say that Pu Zhao is confused?"
"Perhaps, in your minds, you think this is completely meaningless, so why are you practicing Buddhism?"
Jiang Tian's words are actually highly suspected of sophistry.
But it was something that many eminent monks had never thought of, and it had a great impact on them for a while.
The minds of the monks were swaying, demonic thoughts abounded, the Buddha's heart was damaged, their faces changed wildly, and they broke out in cold sweat. They all recited mantras to suppress their inner demons.
There was also a monk who suddenly took off his monk's robes, tore off his rosary beads, flew away through the air, and roared loudly:
"I am used to killing people and setting fires. I have been eating fast and chanting Buddha's name all these years. I just feel that my life has been in vain. Now after listening to Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Master Taichu's words, I feel that my life has been in vain! I have returned to secular life!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense, it's all evil!"
The Buddha's light in the circle behind Master Pudu was shining brightly, giving a wake-up call and trying to wake up the monks.
"The law of the jungle is not a problem at all. Eating is just an instinct!"
Jiang Tian's eyes showed a hint of vicissitudes of life, and he said coldly:
"But in this world, some people and some ideas are more terrifying than the law of the jungle!"
"Many people have food to eat, but they still want to kill, invade, and control others because they can get endless pleasure from killing, controlling, and bullying. This is terrible!"
"The demons you are suppressing are not real demons! The demons you are killing are not evil demons. Why are you talking about exterminating demons, subduing demons and protecting the law!"
"What a sharp-tongued Jiang Taichu!"
Master Pudu scolded loudly, and then said: "If you behave like this, you will go to hell in the next life!"
"Wrongful behavior?"
Jiang Tian smiled faintly and said casually: "I fight for the safety of the six billion human beings on the earth. Why do I act so recklessly?"
"Should the human race on earth be killed by the Tianxing Palace, other hidden sects, and the Immortal Ruins?"
"If the Hidden Gate world invades the earth, the earth will be a hell. Then have all the humans on the earth committed sins in their previous lives?"
"Since we are already in the dark hell, why should we be afraid of hell? I just want to fight with you and go to hell together!"
"Also, in the next life..."
Jiang Tian showed a mocking look and said:
“I don’t want to have any blessings in the next life, live a glorious life, or go to the Western Paradise. I just want to travel thousands of miles with a sword, drink the strongest wine, ride the fastest flying sword, and kill the most ruthless people in this life. , I just want to live vigorously and happily at the moment!”
"Praying for the next life is just a cowardly act of not daring to face this life. Using it to scare people is just a little trick to fool people!"
"Master, why do I suddenly feel that what Master Jiang Xian said makes sense!"
Zen Master Dexin said with a confused look on his face.
"It makes no sense! Monster words confuse the public! Magic words just confuse people's minds!" Master Pudu snorted coldly.
"He has no wisdom!" Master Pudu shook his head and sighed.
"Whoever loves it has it, I don't care about it!" Jiang Tian smiled slightly, unmoved.
"Hmph! This man kills without restraint and repeatedly stirs up troubles. He even talks about killing Senior Brother Puzhao and slanders Buddha. Master, kill him!"
"Yes, Master, punishing evil means promoting good. Today, we will kill this beast to eliminate evil and protect the Tao!"
Several great monks were furious and murderous, and wanted to kill Jiang Tian.
Even Master Pudu had murderous intentions in an instant.
Zen Master Dexin quickly knelt down and begged: "Master, you promised me that you would never threaten Master Jiang Xian! He has saved his disciples!"
Jiang Tian glanced at Zen Master Dexin and felt a little fond of him. This guy was a bit human.
"Okay, Master Jiang Xian, this poor monk knows that you are the most powerful person in the earth, with profound magical power, a life full of power, and an invincible in ten thousand battles!"
Master Pudu thought for a moment, suppressed his anger, and said with a smile: "But the Buddha's Dharma in my Zhenmo Temple is boundless, which is beyond your imagination."
"Let's do this. This tree demon has great magic power. I will use the boundless Buddha's Dharma to save him, and you use your own methods to subdue him."
"If I win, you can become a registered disciple under my seat and eat fast and chant Buddha's name for thirty years to resolve the anger in your heart and commit less murderous crimes in the future!"
"If you can suppress it, then I, Master Pudu, will be inferior to you and be at your disposal!"
"Master Pudu, I'm afraid that you won't be able to suppress and save this tree demon at all, and will be killed instead. I think you should be more careful!" Jiang Tian said calmly.
"The old monk has his own way to remove the demon-suppressing monument... Donor Jiang, don't you dare to gamble?"
Pudu's tone was calm, but his face was full of pride.
That clearly means that if you, Jiang Taichu, are not good at it, I, the Demon-Suppressing Temple, may not be bad at it. I’m afraid you don’t dare to gamble!
"Master, we need to be more cautious about this matter!"
Zen Master Dexin looked nervous and said: "I heard that this tree demon is very ferocious and terrifying. Some powerful men from Tianxing Palace once came here and were bewitched and swallowed by it!"
"Dexin, you only know one, but not the other!"
Master Pudu smiled and said:
"This tree demon was actually suppressed twice by the leader Shengtian and the great demon Baize. Neither the leader Shengtian nor the great demon Baize are good people, so the monsters they suppressed must be good monsters!"
Ye Tianren glanced at Bai Ze and thought to himself, Master Pudu, don't they know Bai Ze?
"They and I are not of the same generation at all. Speaking of which, his master Xuanzu can barely be considered my peer! How can Pudu know me?"
Bai Ze smiled coldly and communicated with Jiang Tian:
"However, those who harmed me back then were not only the Tianxing Palace, but also the Demon-Suppressing Temple faction. I don't know if it was the master or grandmaster of Pudu Little Bald Donkey."
"How can they say good things about me now! They only have interests in their eyes, what good and evil are there?"
