Section 116, Horrifying Buddhist Theory
[It's still a matter of asking for votes...Red tickets. Monthly tickets, rewarded banknotes...]
The snake demon grinned, and two poisonous fangs with blue light flashed in his mouth flashed away. He looked at the pig and said, "I am the one who has just cultivated into a demon in this world. The beast energy on my body will inevitably give people a gloomy feeling. During this period, I lived in Yinshan Temple of fellow Taoist Huide. I studied Buddhist scriptures day and night, and found that these seemingly useless scriptures on the world have a great effect on destroying animal nature.
It’s not that I refuse to say the name, but I really have never had a name, so how can I say it? I originally planned to ask fellow Taoist Huide to give me a Dharma name, but for some reason there is always a kind of name that should not be left with him in the future. This feeling made me feel uneasy.”
The pig snorted, and this explanation was simply ambiguous and could not be considered sincere.
Liu Shoucai could also hear it, but he felt that it would be better for them to solve this problem by themselves, and it would be inappropriate to interrupt too much. Especially Liu Shoucai could also hear the intention of the snake demon, and he simply refused such a proposal silently, which means that the snake demon did not intend to get into this muddy water.
Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and even monsters have their own thoughts.
No one present was a fool. If he was a fool, he would not be able to practice his current cultivation level. The snake demon's polite refusal made the old demon Huide show a hint of regret, as if this snake demon had some ability to defy the will.
The old demon Huide said to the snake demon: "Fellow Taoist, are you really planning to do this? In fact, if you can find the tomb of the ancient spirit-controlling man, the benefits are self-evident. Don't say that the 'Meditative Red Spirit' is not difficult even if it is a 'Meditative Pill'. If we are lucky enough to get an extremely precious 'Meditative Golden Pill', it is easy to advance the spirit beast with a demon body. At that time, your hope of entering the demon world will be greatly improved."
Zhu Yitou snorted, "Forget it, if he has gone, he can only cause trouble. If I don't cultivate merit, I, the old pig, have to use the consciousness realm to exchange it for sin to increase my strength. We don't know the method of condensation, otherwise there will be so many sin ideas in the human world, and just establish a cult, you can absorb a lot of sin energy."
The old demon Huide said: "It's not true, it's not true. The complexity of that kind of power requires a lot of effort to extract it. It's not cost-effective! Unless you are really sure to become a god, don't do such things."
Liu Shoucai suddenly asked, "Isn't the power of faith very pure? Why do you still need to be refined?"
Zhu Yitou said: "That is a belief in merit. This world is the world of the kingly path of merit. Other forces are slightly lower than merit. The power that comes from faith will be obtained by the law to be considered as 'education' and a trace of merit will be integrated into it."
The old demon Huide smiled and said, "I am also a monk, and I am familiar with Buddhist scriptures. The Buddhist statement about merit seems to be more domineering, but it can also show that it is closer to this world."
Liu Shoucai always felt that he was a good and studious child. This was the first time he heard the monsters’ statement of merit, and he couldn’t help but say, “I hope to hear it carefully.”
The old demon Huide seemed to have no chance to show off, and immediately made his scheming look like a monk who clasped his hands together and said, "I remember there was a scripture like this, saying that one day, a young monk asked the Buddha, "So I asked, I asked the Buddha at once, what is merit? If I give the infinite treasures of the world to the public, so that the world is peaceful and everyone has no suffering, can I have merit? The Buddha said: There is no merit. Giving good thoughts to seek blessings, you should not regard blessings as merits. Merits are in the Dharma body, not seek blessings. Seeing the nature is merit, equality is virtue, and every thought is not stagnant. Common nature, real and wonderful use is merit'"
"Merit has nothing to do with good and evil? Every thought is free, and it is smooth and unobstructed. This is merit? This seems to be more based on the nature of nature? Can those who practice sins and evil, just rely on evil and sin to satisfy their nature, even if they kill people like numb, they will be considered merit? Ha, that isn't you cheating yourself?" Liu Shoucai thought in his heart.
The old demon Huide continued, but a young monk was still asking the Buddha.
The question and answer were accompanied by the truth that Liu Shoucai didn't know.
The little monk asked: It is merit whenever you think about it, but it is extremely evil in nature, but it is still evil in nature. Is it merit to kill rampantly?
The Buddha said: This is merit. The nature of the demon is extremely evil. If you know the nature and kill rampantly, you will become free and equal to me.
Liu Shoucai suddenly felt that merit seemed to be a big pit!
I want to penetrate any force, and then it looks nourishing, but it is actually a pit!
No!
If this is the case, then will not those who practice merits cannot be cultivated? Merit is the nature, and nature is merit. In addition to the unusual ability of the spirit-controlling man, will ordinary people and monsters be mixed with other forces in their merit cultivation? For example, if they do evil and do evil, although it is the merit of nature that is cultivated, they condense the power of sin because of killing. Instead, merit is needed to retain and refine the sins from heaven during practice.
In this case, one will decrease and the other will rise, which will probably be good if ten success virtues can leave five successes.
Hiss ~~
Liu Shoucai took a breath, and only then did he realize the horror of the spirit-controlling man when he thought of this! He used power 100%, and directly abandoned the power of tempering merit and reduced the sin power of nature. People are inherently good in nature, and people are utilitarian animals, so it is impossible to really be like saints. Even gods may not do it. When Liu Shoucai thinks of this, he feels enlightened!
When the old demon Huide stopped showing off when he saw Liu Shoucai's expression in his heart.
After a trance of incense, Liu Shoucai woke up quietly, and then smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, this story of fellow Taoist Huide is too outrageous! But I feel a lot about me, sorry."
As he said that, Liu Shoucai turned his eyes to the snake demon and said, "Since fellow snake does not want to participate in this matter, please avoid it."
The snake demon didn't say anything nonsense, stood up and bowed to Liu Shoucai and others, said "sorry", and turned around and left. It was very happy.
Seeing the snake demon leaving, the old demon Huide sighed and said, "This snake fellow is born to be a viper and has achieved enlightenment. He is extremely poisonous in nature. If he can walk with him in this trip, most of the poisonous substances in the Qixing Mountain can be removed. However, this is also good. The fewer people, the safer it is, and the larger the utilization is."
Liu Shoucai nodded and smiled, "I am still in the condition just now. No matter what treasure I harvest, I only ask for the secret book of the spiritual man's letters and other texts. The other treasures can be shared by the two fellow Taoists, and I will never share them."
"How can that be done? Only the three of us must work together! I knew that at least two or three groups of friends in the demon world joined forces to enter the Qixing Mountain, and it would not be so smooth. If you get a treasure and don't give your fellow Taoists a contribution, wouldn't it ruin my reputation in the demon world?" The old demon Huide laughed.
Zhu Yitou also said, "That's right, why don't there be treasures then? Apart from the useless books you mentioned, what if you ask you to pick the first one first?"
"Very good!" The old demon Huide nodded in agreement. Liu Shoucai could not see the flashes in the eyes of the two demons, and some were only sincerity.
Alas, people are not as good as these beasts these days. Liu Shoucai nodded and said, "Okay, if the best ones are those 'Meditative Red Spirit' and 'Meditative Dan', then I will leave one. If there are any other treasures, it really doesn't work. We are friends now, and we can understand them together. If it is a treasure related to the cultivation of merit, then measure its value, and then I and Daode Huide and I will supply Daoist Pig at a ratio of one-third. What do you think?"
Pig grinned and said, "Okay, this is OK."
"Okay!" The old demon Huide nodded and expressed no objection.
Liu Shoucai suddenly stood up and said with a serious expression: "Okay! Since this is the case, can the two fellow Taoists swear to the true spirit in the river of destiny and never reveal my secret? If an outsider discovers my secret during this treasure hunt, when you and I work together to destroy it! You and I have a vow to share honor and disgrace in this trip, and will we depend on each other in life and death, and never leave us?"
Pig asked with an iconic grin: "I understand the one behind this. Is this a bit too much? Good guy, an identity secret cannot be revealed yet. If someone finds out, they will still be chased and killed?"
