One person: Brother Wang Ye, I leveled up by rebelling!

Chapter 47: Buddha is lazy, sneak across
Shaolin Temple, Songshan.

Green lamps, ancient Buddhas, morning bells, evening drums...

The ordained monk, wearing a yellow robe, closed his eyes and knelt on a cushion, under the golden Buddha.

"Xiao Zizai, you can do it..."

Monk Baojing knelt devoutly under the Buddha statue, trying to let go, but he couldn't.

When Bao Jing first entered Buddhism, he hoped to suppress his thoughts and his murderous intent through "green lamps, ancient Buddhas, morning bells, and evening drums."

However, instinct is something that cannot be restrained or changed.

A dog will always eat shit. Although this metaphor may not be appropriate when applied to humans, it doesn't matter to a madman like Bao Jing.

As a human being, we are bound to be constrained by many conditions such as morality, etiquette, order, etc., but human instincts are mostly unconstrained. This leads to a person's contradictions. In a single thought, one can become a Buddha or a demon.

There is an old saying: "When a person is born, his nature is good."

But Baojing is an evil being at heart.

"The one who gave birth to me cannot do so, because my parents are dead; the one who gave birth to me cannot do so, because I dare not have offspring; the rest of us can do anything."

A person who can kill at any time out of instinct is a great evil.

After recognizing his own nature, Xiao Zizai converted to Buddhism in the hope of restraining himself.

He has a yardstick of good and evil in his heart, and he understands very well what should and should not be done, as well as universal values. This applies to both others and himself. He can put reason and principles before instinct, and this is a kind of goodness.

Everyone has some dark thoughts in their hearts, but the reason why we are human is that we can control our own thoughts.

But for Xiao Zizai, how strong must his will to do good be to suppress his instincts?
Satisfying one's own desires is fundamental to human nature, but Xiao Zizai chose to restrain himself as much as possible.

"Except for self-defense and killing demons, you must not kill again."

This is Baojing's promise to her master.

The boundary between great good and great evil is just a line for him, which can be easily crossed. How can the contradiction between the two be balanced?

For Bao Jing, the only way to achieve this balance is to kill. After killing several evil people, he gradually understood that it is better to guide than to block.

His killing is an irrational act to escape from society, but it is also an instinct from human nature. He cannot come up with an answer as to whether it is to fight against the objective world or to deny himself, further deny human instinct, or even deny human value.

When human values ​​are denied, a negative "nihilism" will arise, and the perception of everything will be broken down into pieces, evolving into absolute "emptiness", that is, "solving emptiness".

Nothingness manifests the two sides of a thing. Entering Buddhism, one goes from nothing to something, and leaving Buddhism, one goes from nothing to something again.

Born as a devil, but with Buddha in his heart.

Bao Jing left Buddhism to maintain his peace.

Xiao Zizai entered Buddhism in order to abstain from killing; he left Buddhism because he could not abstain from killing.

……

……

Late at night, in the woods.

"Buddha cannot save me."

Xiao Zi murmured to himself as he looked at his "companion" who was tied to a tree, had several pieces of flesh removed, and had fainted from the pain.

Xiao Zizai's body and face were covered in blood, and his eyes were also bloodshot.

He pushed up his glasses, and his eyes gradually returned to normal.

"Haha, I just killed one, but I didn't expect that a whole group of them would come out to seek revenge. Really, I have stayed in Minjian for too long. I should leave as soon as possible."

Xiao Zizai took out a black sleeping bag, put the body in it, zipped it up, and left it there. Rather than throwing it into the river and polluting the water source, it would be better to let flies eat it all. After taking a deep sniff of the last breath of blood, Xiao Zizai took off his bloodstained clothes and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, he faintly heard the buzzing sound of Qi attached to swords and knives. He turned around suddenly following the sound, thinking that it was the same group of people coming to seek revenge again, so he immediately swung out a palm.

"The Palm of Great Compassion."

The whistling wind pressure from the huge palm-shaped print directly knocked Liu Kang, who had suddenly attacked, far away.

Dou Le, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, couldn't help but yell, "Old Liu! Your 20 years of swordsmanship training wasted! You got killed twice in 24 hours?"

Liu Kang banged his body against the ground several times before finally stopping. He struggled to get up and looked at his father behind him. He shouted helplessly, "Father, this is not my fault. If I had repaired it better, I wouldn't be able to get in everywhere!"

Dou Le held his forehead, thinking that he really couldn't count on this guy, so he could only pat Zhong Xiao beside him.

"Brother Zhong, that move you just made is somewhat similar to the Great Compassion Palm of Buddhism... I really don't know how a murderer could have practiced Buddhist techniques. Do you have any idea?"

Zhong Xiao looked at Xiao Zizai, who was covered in blood, and fanned his nose with his palm. He said, "Five minutes. You just need to contact the escort now."

Dou Le was stunned. He didn't expect this young man to be so confident.

However, there is nothing that can be done about the fact that he is so young and yet he can fight against the second best in the world.

"five minutes?"

Xiao Zizai pushed his glasses and looked at Zhong Xiao, his murderous intent revealed again.

"This young man seems to be even more arrogant than the previous ones? Are you one of them too?"

Zhong Xiao shrugged and said indifferently: "Just treat me as a bad guy, otherwise it would be meaningless if you don't fight back."

After saying that, Zhong Xiao kicked the ground and rushed out instantly, with his arms covered with gold and iron, using the Golden Bell Cover for protection.

"Oh? Golden Bell Cover?"

Xiao Zizai suddenly found it interesting, and he also raised one hand and used the Golden Bell Cover to block Zhong Xiao's attack.

"Brother, it seems that your Golden Bell Cover is not as good as mine..."

"Dragon Claw Hand!"

After Xiao Zizai blocked Zhong Xiao's attack with one arm, he attached Qi to the five fingers of his other hand. The force was enough to even tear steel apart like mud!
"Brother, let's see if your golden bell can withstand my attack!"

Xiao Zizai stretched out his palm, and Zhong Xiao dodged quickly when he saw it. But at this time, Xiao Zizai's other hand was free again. He put his fingers together, and a small gravitational vortex appeared at his fingertips!

"Pick your fingers!"

A gravitational force quickly pulled Zhong Xiao's body back, and a dragon claw hand hit Zhong Xiao's chest!

However, when he struck down with his palm, the feeling he got was not what Xiao Zizai had expected. Instead, it felt like there was a force of air pressure resisting his palm, preventing it from moving forward even a bit.

"Shenra Tianzheng."

The power around Zhong Xiao expanded rapidly, like a barrier that bounced Xiao Zizai away!
"Old Xiao, I'm always the one sucking others."

The strength was concentrated in Zhong Xiao's hands, and the huge pulling force urged Xiao Zizai, whose body had not yet stood firm, to move forward quickly!
"Golden Bell!"

Xiao Zizai quickly covered his body with the Golden Bell Cover, which was stronger than Zhong Xiao's!
"Hey, Lao Xiao, the thing we in Tai Chi are least afraid of is a tortoise shell like the Golden Bell Cover."

Zhong Xiao clenched his palm into a fist and gathered his inch strength.

The moment Xiao Zizai was pulled over, a "step forward and block punch" exploded in his body.

"Old Xiao, if Buddha doesn't save you, it's because he's lazy. Let's just sneak across!"
