Chapter 1607: Seal the Heart.
"Zuo Xiulan, Lu Wenxie, Zhang Hechen, Jiang Jian..."
"My disciple kept reporting the names of people, and then there were disasters caused by them in the future, such as banditry, war, epidemics, floods, forest fires... In short, they were all extremely serious events that would cause a large number of innocent people to die.
"I recognize some of these people, and they have all been killed by my disciple. There are also some people I don't recognize. They... They were still alive at that time, and they were all nearby villagers."
"The names came one after another, and my fellow disciples and I were numbed. I'm afraid there must be hundreds of people. When I think of my disciple killing so many people, I... I..."
"Ah--"
The abbot sighed and stopped talking.
Thinking of the foolish appearance of Monk Huicong now, Jiang Cheng couldn't connect him with the murderer at all, "What happened after that? "
Although Jiang Cheng didn't know much about this, from the content of the debate, Monk Huicong was completely suppressing the abbot's junior brother, and his words were well-reasoned. As for the mysterious ability to predict the future, Monk Huicong also used the painting to prove that he could do it.
"Before my junior brother could answer, our eldest brother moved. He suddenly cried, the kind of cry of joy, and then... he just knelt on the ground and crawled all the way over. He hugged Huicong's legs and cried like a child, shouting that he really... really became a Buddha! The disciple is guilty, please save me!"
"The disciple is guilty, please save me!"
Jiang Cheng was stunned, and it took him a long time to react. What was this plot? Why did the cold and solemn eldest brother surrender?
Then, another ominous breath emerged in Jiang Cheng's heart, "Could it be... Could it be that Huicong really became a Buddha? But that's not right. If he really became a Buddha, how could he be treated like this in the temple, or was everything at night really just an illusion? "
Before Jiang Cheng could think about it, the abbot continued, "Brother's performance shocked all of us. I even doubted whether I was wrong. Huicong really touched the threshold of becoming a Buddha, but because of our low level of practice, we couldn't see the true meaning of Buddhism hidden under Huicong's absurd behavior?"
"But Huicong smiled at that moment. His eyes were drooping, just like the golden Buddha statue, with a breath of compassion in his eyes. He gently covered Brother's head with one hand, and the other hand stood in front of him. Later, he changed into a flower-picking posture, gradually closed his eyes, and began to chant scriptures softly.
Listening to the abbot's narration, Jiang Cheng also imagined a picture full of Buddha nature. If Jiang Cheng was only allowed to use one word to describe it, it would be pious, extremely pious, but the next second, this pious picture was completely broken.
"Brother took advantage of Huicong's eyes closing, took out a golden bowl from his arms, then jumped up and smashed it on Huicong's head, knocking Huicong unconscious. Then he rode on Huicong and turned his head to yell at us, asking us to find a rope quickly. Ordinary ropes won't work. We must use the remaining golden thread from the cassock to tie Huicong up!"
"Ah?"
Jiang Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect that this respected senior brother was still a jerk. He couldn't win the debate and just attacked by surprise.
"Brother, you said Huicong is not a Buddha, but a demon!"
"Huicong is a Buddha, but he lacks a Buddha's heart. My disciple once touched the threshold of Buddhahood, but the last step was bad in his heart. The incident of the stone women hanging themselves at the temple gate gave him too much stimulation, which made him unstable and a trace of demonic obstacles grew in his heart."
"One thought can make you a Buddha, and one thought can make you a demon. Huicong did not suppress this trace of demonic thoughts. This demonic thought has taken root in his heart. If it is not removed, there will be endless troubles. Let alone our small Zhijie Temple, I am afraid it will be a catastrophe for the world!"
"But...how did Brother see it?"
Jiang Cheng was embarrassed to say that he also felt that what Huicong said made sense. During the debate, he almost hung up and beat the two junior brothers of the abbot by himself.
Besides, this Buddhist magical power that can see the future seems to be true.
The abbot seemed to have sensed what Jiang Cheng was thinking, and explained, "Brother, what you said is not a magical power of Buddhism at all, and the future you see is not the real future, but a false future caused by the evil thoughts in Huicong's heart."
"All this is caused by the evil thoughts in Huicong's heart. Simply put, if there is no Huicong, no Huicong who is about to become a demon, then those so-called futures will not appear at all! There will not be so many disasters and catastrophes!"
The abbot's words were a bit confusing, but Jiang Cheng still understood part of it, "Master, what you mean is that the source of these disasters all comes from Huicong. If there is no Huicong, I mean there is no Huicong who has become a demon, then all this will not happen in the future?"
"It's not Huicong who is saving the catastrophe, he is the root cause, and those disasters are caused by him!"
"That's right!" The abbot said righteously.
Jiang Cheng took a breath of cold air when he heard it. Things here became more and more weird. According to the abbot, people who are exposed to Huicong will be affected by him in a weird way, and even make the future extremely unfortunate and disasters continue.
"Master, do you have any evidence?" Jiang Cheng still felt something was not right.
"Hey, this is what our senior brother told us. We are so dull that we can only see the fog and realize it later." The abbot sighed, "Actually, this is very simple. Donor, think about it, how many villages are there near our Zhijie Temple, and how many people are there in total?"
"My disciple reported more than a hundred people at once, and each of them can cause a disaster. Isn't this suspicious? If all this is true and is the true Buddhist magical power, then this day will not be easy. I’m afraid it won’t be enough for everyone in the village below the mountain to die 10 times!”
"That's right!" Jiang Cheng was also enlightened, and the lingering doubt in his heart was finally found. If the future that Monk Huicong said was true, how many people would have to die, it didn't make sense.
After figuring this out, Jiangcheng's biggest concern was how to deal with Hui Cong in the temple. "Master, what happened after you tied up Monk Hui Cong? Are you going to arrange an exorcism ceremony for him?"
There was a hint of bitterness in the abbot's words, "We don't have the ability to do this. We just plan to seal his consciousness together with the evil thoughts in his heart. Life is only a few decades. When Huicong's body is transformed into a With a handful of dead bones, the evil thoughts will naturally dissipate."
Jiang Cheng slowly frowned, "So Monk Huicong became like this because you sealed his consciousness and his heart!"
