Chapter 1721 The Great Road Is Perfect, but People’s Hearts Are Lacking

"Didn't you say you are compassionate?"

On top of the Bliss Heaven's Sea of ​​Bitterness, within the mountain peaks, after Mo Chi'er, the Demon Lord of Bliss, separated from the Emperor Taixuan Tian's concubine, he wandered casually in thought, but for some reason, he clearly didn't walk in this direction. But after going around and around, when she finally looked up, she found that she had come to a black peak on the sea, or in front of her prison of bliss. Then she stood in front of the peak for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and raised her head. Stepping into the mountain peak, he stood on the black stone platform, raised his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the white-clothed monk opposite the stone platform, who was pricked by countless thorns and bleeding all over his body, but calmly chanting sutras.

She looked at the monk in white, and there seemed to be waves of emotions emerging in her eyes, including intolerance, hatred, pity, disgust, and even an unexplainable fear. However, her emotions changed for a long time, and finally Still cold!

The words that came out of her mouth were inexplicably sarcastic: "Don't think I'm a fool. Do you really think you don't understand magical powers? Just now, the great hell demon fled to this sea with his body in his white body. The Emperor of the Red Sky Pressing each other so hard, I and the elders from Taixuantian couldn't save him, but with your cultivation, how difficult would it be to protect his soul? But why did you just chant a sutra? , and then did nothing? Monk, where is your compassion? Where is your mission to save the common people? Isn’t it just words?"

"I will not save the Hell Demon Lord..."

The young monk opened his eyes gently, his eyes were still soft, and his voice was calm and gentle: "He has cultivated the path of killing. The so-called practice means killing living beings. Every day he lives, there will be something in the hell." Countless lives were killed by his butcher knife. If I saved him, then he would kill more lives for the sake of practice. If Buddhism is said to save all living beings, then it must be treated equally. If it is said to be compassionate, then it must be How can I illuminate the world for a corpse with a white collar, and then cause the souls of thousands of living beings to be wiped out?"

"Oh, who made us the devils?"

Mo Chi'er, the Demon Lord of Paradise, sneered coldly, and his eyes were like knives stabbing the young monk's face, his eyes full of sarcasm: "This is how we demons are, Bai Zhanzhi likes to kill people, and I like to sleep with men. , you can’t stand it, right? Then what are you talking about about transcending transformation? Why don’t you just kill demons and eliminate demons as the Taoists say? Why rely on me to die and recite some scriptures and lectures to me every day? What kind of Buddhist philosophy? Even you think we deserve to die, so why don’t you just watch us six demons die together?”

"The poor monk is also killing demons!"

The young monk looked directly at the Demon Lord of Bliss and said softly: "But the poor monk does not kill the body, just to kill the evil thoughts in your heart!"

"What evil thoughts? What a joke!"

Mo Chi shouted fiercely: "White Tiger likes to kill. It's his nature. I, Mo Chi, like to sleep with men. It's my nature. You are a heartless monk who has never tasted the fireworks of the world. You are born with no five senses and six skills. You are like wood. How do you know what a demon is? Let me tell you, human nature is a demon, and the principles of the Tao are demons. If you want to cut off the demonic thoughts in our hearts, why not turn us into stone!"

"Sex in moderation is evil, and wanton indulgence is evil!"

The young monk calmly replied: "Buddhism kills the inner demons, not the annihilation of the mind!"

Mo Chi'er became even angrier and shouted loudly: "We, the inherited heavenly magic sect, have cultivated six demonic roots. These demonic roots are our foundation. If you cut off the demonic nature, we will have no ability to protect ourselves. Monk, you are not transcending, you are killing people..."

"Continuing to let you practice will lead to death. Only by converting to Buddhism can you have a chance of survival!"

The young monk looked into Mo Chi'er's eyes: "I'm not killing people, I'm saving people!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Mo Chi'er laughed loudly, and a hint of ferocious ugliness appeared on her beautiful and beautiful face: "You want to say that we are guarding the huge foundation of the Six Demon Heavens, which is a dead end, abandoning our wealth, and even abandoning the foundation of cultivation. Do you have a chance of survival by following a stupid monk like you, eating fast and chanting Buddha? Haha, monk, are you crazy? The butcher knife in your mouth is our life-saving knife. If you make us put down the butcher knife, then when someone comes to kill us in the future, we will be killed. What are you going to fight with? Are you going to use your neck to hold someone else's blade?"

"Buddhism is not as weak as you think. The Buddha said he would save all sentient beings. He is also a sentient being. How could he be slaughtered by evil people?"

The young monk's voice gradually softened: "After all, the poor monk is here to help you practice, not to force you to die..."

"If you say this, then you Buddhists can't help but kill?"

Mo Chi'er, the Demon Lord of Paradise, sneered, his eyes sparkling.

"The way of heaven is ruthless, and killing is also part of it. I, the Buddhist sect, have no intention of stopping the way of heaven!"

The young monk answered very simply, but Mo Chi'er became even more sarcastic: "If your Buddhism can't even stop killing, then what is the point of being compassionate and teaching to save all sentient beings? What's the point of the existence of Buddhism?" ?”

"Buddhism can't help killing, but it can't help killing!"

The young monk sighed softly and said calmly: "If I drink a ladle of water, there will be thirty million living beings in the water. If I eat a mouthful of vegetables, I will also hurt the life of a plant. If I don't teach the wolf to eat sheep, the wolf will starve to death." , if I don’t teach the eagle to eat rabbits, the eagle will starve to death. If I serve the wolf with my blood and honor the eagle with my meat, then I will die again. The cycle of heaven and earth is endless, and killing is a part of it. How can it be true? Can it be restrained? If it must be restrained, it may stop the movement of heaven and earth. I am afraid that a great catastrophe is not far away, and disasters will befall all living beings..."

"If this is the case, doesn't it mean that all living beings are demons?"

Mo Chi'er's voice seemed a bit sharp: "Then what other butcher knife do you want me to use?"

"Everything should only be done in moderation..."

The young monk's answer never seemed to need to be thought about, and he said it directly: "The ultimate Buddhist principle is to cultivate yourself, and to cultivate the Zen mind. If people act according to their nature, they will not break the precepts. A senior brother of mine often said This is the truth when wine and meat pass through the intestines and remain in the heart of the Buddha. But if you indulge wantonly, you will fall into the devil. And the devil is not for all living beings, but will eventually land on yourself. The so-called Buddha and the so-called devil, They are just thoughts in the heart. If a person has a Buddha mind, he will have peace of mind, and he will live or die calmly. If a person has a devil mind, he will be violent and difficult to calm down. In the end, it is the living beings who will suffer, and it is himself who will be destroyed... …”

"you……"

Having said this, Mo Chi'er, the Bliss Demon, seemed to feel a little ridiculous, and sneered: "Do you think I am uneasy inside?"

The young monk said: "If you have peace of mind, why would you come to talk to me?"

Mo Chier was furious and raised his palm fiercely, as if he wanted to slap the young monk to death. But in the end, after thinking about it for a few times, a hint of sinisterness suddenly appeared on his face, and the smile on his face also changed. She became coquettish, bit her lip, chuckled, and walked gently towards the young monk. The thorns entangled with the young man shrank into his body as if they were alive when she approached. , this feeling only made the young monk more painful, his face had turned pale, but his expression was still calm.

"I came just because I miss you..."

Mo Chi'er ignored the cold sweat on the young monk's face due to the boundless pain. He gently touched the young monk's face with his delicate palms, smiling playfully, and there seemed to be a trace of inexplicable obsession in his eyes: "I It’s been so many years that I haven’t seen anyone as handsome as you... Do you know what I’m thinking? I’m just thinking, oh, how could there be so many troublesome things? Otherwise, I would have been there by now So I married you into the palace, and we were in love with you every night..."

The young monk remained motionless, with a calm expression. In the quiet stone room, there was only her moaning and panting, which was so charming that it penetrated his bones.

"Your heart is not moved, so why bother forcing yourself to be emotional?"

After a long time, the young monk suddenly lowered his head and looked into her eyes.

"What are you talking about? I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you. My heart was already beating fast. How could I not be tempted?"

Mo Chi'er's whole body was already wrapped around the young monk's body softly, and he said in a whisper.

"Then why do I feel that your heart is so gray and lifeless?"

The young monk's words were not loud, but he calmly stated a fact.

But Mo Chi'er suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with murderous intent in his eyes: "What did you say?"

The young monk said calmly: "**** is invisible and cannot fill the hole in your heart!"

"you……"

Mo Chi'er's expression suddenly changed, and he raised his hand fiercely, as if to strike it down with a palm, but when he dropped it, he changed his mind. He just flicked his fingers, and the thorns on the young monk's body immediately became more lush. , growing in strands, and the growth of each thorn brought great pain to the young monk. She looked at this scene with a cold and sinister smile on her face, and deliberately chuckled: "I don't know if there is a hole in my heart, but you should have a few more thorns in your heart to torture me!"

But the endless growth of thorns still did not change the young man's expression. He still just sat cross-legged quietly, as if he was not the one suffering. Instead, his eyes calmly looked at Mo Chi'er: "Convert to Buddhism. , can teach you inner peace!”

"Shut up!"

Mo Chi'er looked at the young monk fiercely, as if he wanted to see the pain on his face, but in the end he shook his head in disappointment, snapped his fingers again, and withdrew his magical power, and his face seemed to show boundless exhaustion. He sighed softly, and then said softly: "You are a monk, how do you know what the great road is and what the way of heaven is? You are just forbearing..."

After saying that, she turned around and seemed to want to leave.

But the young monk had already spoken behind her: "The way of heaven is the law, and the way is the human heart. Therefore, the way of heaven is perfect, but the human heart is lacking. When you truly recognize the way of heaven and understand the way, you will no longer suffer, and your cultivation will be better." Go one step further..."

"The way of heaven is perfect, but the human heart is lacking?"

Mo Chi'er paused slightly and repeated these eight words. After all, he didn't look back and continued walking forward.

The young monk also sighed softly, lowered his head and remained silent.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked towards the empty direction of the cave.

"Brother, do you understand?"
