Hong Kong comprehensive begins, seek the law from the heavens

Chapter 360 It's over, it's over
When the Buddhas in Journey to the West Lingshan planned to spread Buddhism to the South, the Mazu Temple in Journey to the West also welcomed several guests.

The Mazu Temple is built in Dongsheng Shenzhou, facing the East China Sea, and adjacent to Huaguo Mountain.

The Mazu Temple was not built grandly. In addition to the fact that Mazu herself did not like publicity, it was also because Mazu became enlightened very late. Among them, the foundation and background are still very shallow.

Ye Guhong brought Lin Xuanji and Leon to visit Mazu, and entered the narrow room of Yin and Yang. Mazu was wearing a water-green divine robe and two pearl earrings.

"The disciple pays a visit to the master."

Ye Guhong stepped forward to salute formally, "Before I was busy with the affairs of the South China Sea Dragon Palace in the root realm, I couldn't serve Master before, please forgive Master."

She is a new apprentice, but she has been staying in the Dragon King Temple in the South China Sea. It is not a small fault for Mazu to teach her avatar. However, Lin Mosheng only has so many people at hand, and he does not dare to let Ye Guhong follow Mazu to practice. .

Mazu waved her hand, signaled Ye Guhong to come to her, and said with a smile, "Before I became a god, I was only a fisherwoman, and I didn't pay attention to any rules, as long as I have a clear heart. After I became a god, I was determined by others." In fact, I'm a little bored with the rules."

Lin Xuanji, who followed Ye Guhong, nodded secretly. It seems that this Mazu is really good. Although she has the status of a queen, she is not proud of it.

Ye Guhong walked to Mazu's side, took out the brocade box Lin Mosheng had prepared for her, and said, "I will pay my respects to Master, and my husband has prepared a bundle of repairs for me."

Mazu originally wanted to take the brocade box casually, after all, at her level, she didn't care what the apprentice gave, as long as she had this kind of thought, it would be good.

But when she took Shu Xiu, she couldn't help but pause.

Xuanhuang merit.

After Mazu noticed the items inside, she couldn't help but lament the opportunity of Lin Mosheng, the Taoist of Maoshan.

Even if she, as the God of Navigation, traveled to the heavens and saved many common people, she only gained a few mysterious merits.

Mazu didn't accept Xuanhuang merit directly, but put it aside, looked at Ye Guhong and said, "Such a heavy gift, there must be other things?"

Ye Guhong said respectfully, "Don't dare to hide the truth from Master. Now Xianggong is in charge of the list of gods by the order of Yuanshi Tianzun. I heard that Journey to the West, the world of gods, the dragons of the four seas, the more charming and evil people, rely on the supernatural powers of the dragon clan to drive clouds and rain, Turn into a flood, enjoy the blood sacrifice of mortals, and want to restrain this generation with the list of gods."

Although the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, they are more like Yang Jian and Nezha who are gods with a physical body and have relative autonomy.

Although the Dragons of the Four Seas behave submissively in front of Sun Monkey and Nezha, they look different in front of ordinary mortals.

The most important point is that as the Dragon Clan wants to purify their blood, they need to "walk into the sea". It was originally a natural disaster and flood, and the addition of walking into the sea immediately raised the disaster level to a higher level.

Mazu pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go to the Aolai country for a while."

"Yes."

Ye Guhong, Lin Xuanji, and Leon came out from the Mazu Temple.

Lin Xuanji asked curiously, "What does Mazu mean?"

Leon patted Lin Xuanji on the shoulder, "Since we are asked to walk around the Aolai Country, it is just how big it is and how big the trouble is."

Seeing that Lin Xuanji hadn't understood yet, Leon explained, "Although this Aolai country is a country built by the human race, it is adjacent to Huaguo Mountain, the place where the great sages of the monster race are located, and it is also adjacent to the East China Sea Dragon Palace, where many ancient monsters come and go. There are many things that the family has caused disasters."

"Huaguo Mountain is the dojo for fighting and defeating Buddha, how could it be?"

"Mount Huaguo is the ashram of the Monkey King, it's not for fighting against Buddha."

Ye Guhong did a lot of homework before coming to Journey to the West. After being reminded by Leon, she vaguely guessed something, and said to Lin Xuanji, "Did you forget that in Journey to the West, Sun Houzi himself said that he I have eaten people..."

But at this point, Lin Xuanji shook his head resolutely, "Unless he wants to kill the enemy by 'eating people', it is absolutely impossible for Dou Victor Buddha to eat people! Even when he was the Monkey King."

Lin Xuanji said in an almost certain way, not only because of his trust in Sun Monkey's image, but also because he and Sun Monkey had the same birth.

One is the divine stone for mending the sky, which receives the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, and the other is the four elephants of Lingbao, which are inspired by the earth's veins and humanity.

They are almost born to be raised, born with the longevity of heaven and man, and cannibalism is not good for them.

Ye Guhong was also a little confused, because in Journey to the West, it was also recorded that Sun Monkey had only been a vegetarian since he was born, which is inconsistent.

Leon laughed and said, "He doesn't eat people, but he also acquiesces in eating people."

The two looked at Leon. There is no doubt that there is a part of the memory of Arhat Subduing the Dragon and Jidian, and Leon knows the most about what happened back then.

Leon looked in the direction of Huaguo Mountain and said, "Lin Xuanji is right, their natural fetishes, not to mention eating people, even eating animals, is not good for them, it will only increase Killing karma, but Huaguoshan is not just Sun Monkey, among them there are not a few mountain spirits and old apes."

"These mountain spirits and old apes turn into passers-by and lure them with beauty and wealth. Once passers-by can't bear their greed, they will naturally fall into a trap and be skinned and convulsed by them."

"Won't Monkey King stop it?"

Lin Xuanji asked subconsciously.

Leon glanced at Lin Xuanji, and said with a smile, "You were born in a better situation than Sun Monkey. From the beginning, you followed Lin Mosheng. Human beings taught you to practice the Dharma. Of course you would stop it, but Sun Monkey was born. There is no one to teach."

"He doesn't eat meat, but in his eyes, natural selection, humans eat pigs and rabbits, and it's normal for monkeys and tigers to eat humans. Why did he want to stop it?"

So this is ah.

Lin Xuanji and Ye Guhong nodded slightly, as if they had accepted the matter, and at last they did not completely collapse the image of Monkey King in their minds.

Leon looked in the direction of Huaguo Mountain, "As for him becoming a Buddha, it's even more impossible to stop him..."

Ye Guhong and Lin Xuanji looked at Leon in confusion.

Lyon asked rhetorically, "Can the Buddha teach tigers not to eat meat?"

"This……"

Lin Xuanji and Ye Guhong shook their heads.

Leon laughed at himself, "After becoming a Buddha and becoming a patriarch, he looks at problems at a higher level, even reincarnation and reincarnation are taken lightly. In their eyes, your death in this life is just a part of reincarnation. Don't be surprised, all living beings are suffering, as long as you don't detach yourself, whether you are eating people or being eaten, it is a part of suffering."

Lin Xuanji instinctively felt that Leon's words seemed reasonable, but they revealed an unimaginable cruelty, just like the Buddha in the temple, who seemed lofty and merciful to save people, but he couldn't save anyone.

"So now Lingshan Buddhism has an unwritten rule."

"What rules?"

"You can eat people, but you must eat people properly."

Ye Guhong was silent for a moment, thinking of the goldfish raised by Avalokitesvara in Journey to the West, who made a deal with Chen Jiazhuang every year to let Chen Jiazhuang support two boys and girls a year.

From the perspective of modern people, this can even be regarded as a large-scale social experiment.

The results of the experiment are still very 'satisfactory'.

Because judging from the description in Journey to the West, everyone in Chenjiazhuang lives in a prosperous life, with surplus food, and is even so happy that even if they know that the evil king of inspiration, the king of inspiration, is by his side, they are unwilling to move.

After all, for the entire village, a pair of boys and girls are paid tribute every year, not only does the population not decrease sharply, but it increases because of good food and clothing.

The only unacceptable thing is whether this purely rational approach is acceptable to people's morality and emotion.

The goldfish who listened to the lecture under the seat of Guanyin all did the same. It is conceivable how bewildered Buddhism has become today.

No wonder when Sun Houzi described himself as a cannibal to Tang Seng, he always said that he should first be seduced by 'beauty and wealth', because that's what he saw.

"It's ironic."

Ye Guhong couldn't help sighing, and then she realized what Leon said, "So most of the incidents of Aolai's cannibalism are the same as what Monkey King described, and they are 'proper' cannibalism, so no one comes Tube?"

Lyon pushed the black sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and sneered, "Go and see, you will know."

With Leon's foreshadowing, Ye Guhong and Lin Xuanji entered Aolai Kingdom with some doubts, and the three of them accompanied them as merchants on their way to the most prosperous city along the official road.

Along the way, not only did they not feel that the people living here were in dire straits, but they were much better than they expected. Although they couldn't compare with modern times at all, they were much richer than the ancient times in the fundamental world.

Just when Lin Xuanji was about to ask, the three of them had already brought their goods to a mountain depression, with towering cliffs on both sides and a road in the middle. Like a mountain split in the middle.

After arriving here, the three of them discovered that there were other caravans parked there, and no one was in a hurry to cross the mountain road.

After the three of Lin Xuanji arrived at the scene, the member of the Chamber of Commerce who was waiting in the lead smiled and said, "Now we are all here, we can go there together."

Before they could inquire, the leading chamber of commerce began to organize people to slowly enter the mountain pass.

The three of Lin Xuanji were arranged in the back, and there were also some small businessmen in the front, back, left, and right sides. He could see the obvious fear, worry, and determination on the faces of these small businessmen.

"This steward..."

Lin Xuanji asked a small businessman beside him who was also rushing forward, but had a sad face, "Why is everyone so sad?"

The small businessman glanced at Lin Xuanji and the others in surprise, and asked, "You don't know about this 'thousand people'?"

Thousands of people?
Lin Xuanji scanned with his divine sense for a while, only to realize that including the three of them, exactly 1000 people entered the mountain path.

Lin Xuanji shook his head, "This is the first time for the three of us to take this business route."

The little businessman sighed, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sweat towel around his neck, and said, "This place was originally called Wuling, and it stretches between Shanghe City and Furong City. There are many ancient ferocious beasts, and it takes eight or nine hundred miles to circumvent them, and there are many fierce tigers and poisonous insects around."

"But the year before last, a demon king in Wuling became enlightened, and he split Wuling into two halves with great magic power, and opened up this 'road of thousands of people' from it. However, this demon king did not open up this road for nothing. To pass by from now on, there must be 1000 people, and at the same time, in order to satisfy the appetite of the beasts in the mountains, three people will be drawn from them as blood food."

Ye Guhong was stunned as she listened. Isn't this just the fantasy version of "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if I want to live from now on, I will save my fortune"?

"You agree?"

Ye Guhong asked subconsciously.

The small businessman gave Ye Guhong a strange look, thinking how does the other party do business?
However, perhaps in order to alleviate the fear in his heart, he let go instead, and said, "There are some people who want to take a detour alone, but everyone has discovered that even if you want to take a detour, the casualties may be more than three people on the road to business. More importantly, those big chambers of commerce are willing to take this route, and if you detour and no one follows you, it will be even more dangerous."

"Of course, it's not without benefits to take this road of thousands of people. Basically, if you're lucky enough to walk two or three times, it's enough to buy a berth in the market and make a good deal."

Speaking of this, he was a bit proud, "After I finish this trip this time, I will buy a shop in Shanghe City, and I will never walk this way of Hades again."

"Unfortunately, we are not members of the Great Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it would be safer."

"Why are people in the Great Chamber of Commerce safer?"

Ye Guhong asked, in fact, she had already guessed in her heart, because the small businessman said just now that the big chambers of commerce were willing to take this 'shortcut', which forced the small businessman to follow.

The little businessman sighed, then looked around, and was sure they were all small businessmen, so he said to Ye Guhong in a low voice, "Isn't this obvious? Although wild beasts in the mountains can't recognize big businessmen and small businessmen, the demon king in Wuling It can be recognized that the members of the Great Chamber of Commerce pay tribute every year, and the demon king likes to arrest me to make up for it for the sake of incense."

After the little businessman finished speaking, a gust of evil wind blew up in the mountain path, and the wind swept away the small businessman and Ye Guhong.

Where the black wind passed by, the surrounding merchants not only did not stop them, but instead thanked them again and again, and finally paid for the cost of crossing the mountain road this time.

When the evil wind stopped, the faces of the small businessmen who were caught by the evil wind changed, because they appeared in a barbaric palace. Above the main hall, skulls were used as lamps, and bones were used as seats. , There are all kinds of fur draped into limp, human beings, tigers, bears, and so on, but they are all equal.

On the high seat, a demon king in golden armor and with a majestic animal head said to the left and right in a joking voice, "I just heard someone calling me, so I grabbed it and took a look, whoever refuses to accept my decision?" rules."

The little businessman turned pale immediately, and murmured, "It's over, it's over!"
