Chapter 699: A Journey of a Thousand Miles Reveals a Horse’s Strength (12)
Chapter 699 A journey of a thousand miles reveals the strength of a horse (1/2)
After getting the alchemy furnace, Ding Jie kept on running around the town with Xuan Kong for a long time before collecting all the things.
It can be seen that Ding Jie had long wanted to explore the Buddhist country. She knew the locations of various necessities and quickly prepared everything.
Among them, the most eye-catching one was an iron carriage.
This carriage was very large and could store a large amount of supplies inside.
After putting the purchased materials into it, Ding Jie explained: "The interior of the Buddha Kingdom is full of invisible curses of the end of the law, so we can't use storage bags and other things. So I spent money to buy this iron horse to facilitate our travel. This is the iron horse I carefully selected, with five horsepower. Isn't it amazing?"
"It's quite amazing, but what is horsepower?"
"The power of a horse is one horsepower. The power of five horses is five horsepower."
"What about the horse?"
"Oh, he is still saying goodbye to his wife and daughter, and will come over later."
Although Xuankong knew that this place was particularly outrageous, he still felt it was particularly outrageous when he heard this sentence.
Taking a long breath, he asked seriously, "Why should a horse say goodbye?"
"I'm going on a long journey, why can't I say goodbye?" Ding Jie was more surprised than Xuan Kong, "You Buddhists are too cruel, aren't you? Don't deny human rights just because I'm a horse!"
"Do you want to hear what you are saying?"
After patiently waiting for a while with Ding Jie, Xuan Kong finally waited for a sturdy man to come here, and said to the woman behind him as he walked, "My wife, if I can't come back, you should find a good family to marry!"
The woman wiped the tears from her eyes and said softly, "You are a scoundrel, and only you can stand my temper. If you can't come back, I will raise the child and then look for you."
"What you said... I will definitely come back. Go back quickly, it's not good for the employer to wait for too long."
The woman looked back every few steps, and the burly man waved impatiently to let the other party go quickly, but stopped and stared at the other party after he turned around and left, until the other party's figure became smaller and smaller, and until he merged into the crowd and walked towards the iron carriage.
After exchanging credentials with Ding Jie, the man said, "Sir, I'm here. Do you want to see the quality?"
"No need." Ding Jie said immediately, "Everyone knows that Brother Bai Longma is a first-class horse. There is no need to test it. Let's go."
"Okay!" Bai Longma nodded seriously, then looked at Xuankong and said, "Young man, why don't you get in the car?"
"Wait, where's the horse?"
"I am." Bai Longma nodded and said.
Facing Xuankong's surprised eyes, he walked forward, took a deep breath, lifted the crossbar of the carriage directly, and then looked at the two and said, "Let's go."
"No, wait! What does this mean! What's going on!"
Hearing Xuankong's shout, the white dragon horse looked at Ding Jie in confusion: "Little sister Ding, your helper is not right."
"Country people are like this, they have never seen the world, you just get used to it. Okay, Xuankong, get on, let's go."
Xuankong got on the carriage in a daze, watching the white dragon horse dragging the carriage, rushing forward like lightning.
Rushing all the way to the entrance of the town, he stretched out his hand to the back, and Ding Jie sent out a bright lamp, and the white dragon horse hung it on his head.
"That is a perpetual lamp. Green means the route is fine, white means you've taken the wrong road, and red means you can write a suicide note." Ding Jie explained, "If you see it flashing, it means the white dragon horse is hungry and needs to replenish food." "Now I really want to ask, why is the white dragon horse a human?" "Oh, you've been entangled in this. When the True Buddha left, he not only left behind the curse of the Dharma Ending, but also various precepts. Do you know what the Buddhist precepts are?" Xuankong nodded: "I know this, one is not to kill, two is not to steal, three is not to commit adultery, four is not to lie, and five is not to drink. In addition, different places have different precepts, which are the rules that Buddhist monks must abide by." "It's easy to say if you know it, here in the Buddha's country , the commandments cannot be violated, otherwise it will cause pain at best, or even death at worst. And here is the commandment of not abusing animals. Therefore, not only can't eat animal meat, but even enslaving animals is not allowed. "
Xuan Kong thought about it, nodded and said: "It is true, after all, all beings are equal, and treating animals well is treating ourselves well. "
"But some places still need animals, such as carriages on the road. Later, someone suddenly thought that if we can't enslave animals, then can't we enslave people! As soon as this idea came up, I felt that the world was wide. As a result, human-powered mills, human-powered oxen, and human-powered carriages emerged like mushrooms after rain, and now they have expanded back to the Demon Sect. "
Xuan Kong was stunned, but Ding Jie's words were not finished.
Pulling Xuankong, she said excitedly: "And we in the Demon Sect have discovered that there are too many benefits to replacing animals with humans! For example, humans can practice cultivation, but animals rarely can. Humans can find food for themselves, but animals must be fed. And when people are sick, it costs less to see a doctor, but animals cost more. So, not everything in Buddhism is bad, isn't this a good idea?"
Xuankong was shaken, but didn't know what to say.
Please...collect 6...books...!
Covering his head, he wanted to refute and maintain the image of Buddhism, but he couldn't say anything.
After all, what Ding Jie said made sense!
Looking back, he remembered that one of his senior brothers had said that he had seen an ox working in the field, and the old farmer was walking slowly beside him, and from time to time he used a whip to urge the ox. But in fact, the ox was the reincarnation of the old farmer's father, and after the old farmer died, he would also be reincarnated as an ox and be whipped by his son.
The senior brother originally wanted to use this story to explain reincarnation and cause and effect, as well as the importance of treating animals well, and his words were full of compassion.
But now think about it, Xuankong feels that this story is too ironic.
If you don't let the old farmer plow the field with an ox, then the old farmer can only plow the field himself. A mortal who works hard all day is not as good as an ox for two or three hours. He can only starve due to lack of food, and finally he can only sell the field to the temple, and the whole family becomes tenants.
After that, the field was sold to other people in exchange for three gold grains, and the old farmer's family was sold by the way.
This is not compassion at all, it is clearly using the ox to eat people to snatch the field.
And the old farmer doesn't have to worry about being whipped by his descendants in the next life, because there are no descendants.
This is really a happy ending.
This game plot is just a joke in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Xuankong, it is a sharp blade that hurts people.
Bailong was full of stereotypes when making this game, but stereotypes are different from rumors because they really did similar things.
I didn't feel anything before, but through the experience of the Jiuzhou cultivators, Xuankong only felt that it was full of sarcasm, and every sound was bloody.
And this is just the beginning.
Master, what did you see that made you vomit blood!
