Start to conquer the world of Jade Immortals

Chapter 2 Heaven and Earth are not benevolent

silence.

Wordless silence.

Surrounded by such an atmosphere, even though Jiang Yuye had been prepared, she still felt a little uneasy at this moment.

Buddha is the Tao.

Although this truth has been confirmed by countless people in later generations, in this world of "Zhu Xian", except for the future protagonist "Zhang Xiaofan", it seems that no one can understand the meaning of this sentence, right?

Reverend Daoxuan of Qingyun Sect couldn't, Yun Yilan, the owner of Fenxiang Valley, couldn't, and neither could Puzhi, one of the four great monks of Tianyin Temple.

"..." Putting his hands together slightly, Puzhi slowly bowed to Jiang Yuye under the gaze of Jiang Yuye who looked forward to him, and said: "The little benefactor has a wonderful idea, which can solve worldly concerns." , Can speak the root of ten thousand dharmas, poor monk worships."

Say it.

As if to show his sincerity, Puzhi bowed very piously, as if a believer was prostrating.

Sitting directly opposite Puzhi, Jiang Yuye, who saw this scene, hastily moved his seat, avoiding Puzhi's bow, and said: "Master, you don't have to do this, what the boy said is just a child's words, it's okay to joke, It is absolutely impossible.”

"Besides, the master's Buddhist practice is profound, so how can one not know that the boy is just the son of a resident in this Caomiao village at a glance, and it is absolutely unbearable to say that he worships him."

What he said was justified, as if what he said earlier was just "flowers in the mirror, moon in the water", giving people a very unreal feeling.

but……

This can be regarded as fulfilling Jiang Yuye's lie, and at the same time, by the way, it also ordered Puzhi's deepest knot in his heart.

As a prophet, it's not that Jiang Yuye doesn't understand Puzhi's crazy idea of ​​pursuing longevity, but how can all things have animism and slaughter at will?

So when Jiang Yuye saw this passage, she secretly felt that Puzhi was a fool in pursuit of longevity.

"This……"

Turning the prayer beads in his hand, Puzhi didn't know what to say for a while.

Originally, in his opinion, although the child sitting across from him was only eight or nine years old, his talent and ideas had already surpassed most practitioners in the world.

Cultivation, cultivation, what are you cultivating?
It's nothing more than longevity, why did Puzhi come to Qingyunmen all the way from Tianyin Temple this time?
Isn't it just that you want to combine the strengths of 'Buddha' and 'Tao', hoping to successfully penetrate the mystery of longevity?

But what should have been such an idea, but at this moment, a similar concept was heard from a child's mouth.

Buddha is Tao?

In other words, wouldn't 'Buddha' be 'Tao', and 'Tao' be 'Buddha'?

If you think about it this way, how should the 'demon' deal with itself?
"Even if what the little benefactor says is reasonable, the poor monk still has an unfeeling request. I hope the little benefactor can solve the doubts in the old monk's heart for many years."

Want to inquire about longevity?

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yuye nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Master, please tell me, the boy must know everything."

"Amitabha." After chanting a mantra, Puzhi turned the beads and said with his eyes narrowed, "Since the little benefactor said that 'Buddha is originally Tao', then what is 'demon'?"

"..." Hearing this question suddenly, Jiang Yuye froze in surprise.

Of course, this is not to say that Jiang Yuye was stumped by this question. As a foresight traveler, he has long been familiar with the concepts of "Buddha", "Tao" and "Magic". It's not that he hasn't read similar novels. Naturally, he also has his own unique views on such issues.

The reason why he is stunned now is entirely because the questions raised by Puzhi have gone beyond the original Puzhi itself.

There is no other reason. In the original book, Puzhi, an old monk, did not hesitate to incarnate as a demon Rakshasa and slaughter dozens of households in Caomiao Village so that future generations could comprehend the "mystery of longevity". Take 'Zhang Xiaofan' and 'Lin Jingyu' into his family.

But the situation is different now. Instead of mentioning the 'theory of longevity', the old monk asked about the 'demon'.

Could it be that in his heart, the understanding of the 'demon' is far more important than dissecting the 'mystery of longevity'?
To be honest, Jiang Yuye's heart was full of surprises.

But it was an accident. Jiang Yuye, who just came back to his senses, said in a somewhat complicated tone after a little thought: "All the laws of the world return to the same goal, and there are three thousand ways under the heaven. , 'Tao', and 'Magic' are actually all similar, and it should be known that 'Buddha is both a demon' and 'a demon is a Buddha', one thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon, but this is also the truth."

It is true that in the world where Jiang Yuye lived in the past, this concept is actually the knowledge recorded in many Buddhist scriptures.

I remember that in the annotations of those "Buddhist scriptures", it was said that "Erhui Zen Mind" is exactly the same reason.

Ok.

To give an easy-to-understand example, "Journey to the West", which is listed as the "Four Great Masterpieces" in later generations, the protagonist Sun Wukong is actually a typical case.

One thought can protect Tang Monk from the west to learn scriptures, complete his great cause, and become a Buddha, but another thought will give birth to a violent demon, fighting with himself and his original mind.

Even a more relevant fact is that Puzhi himself, after taking the "Three-day Bishi Pill", didn't he also become a "demon" because of a single thought?

Therefore, the theories of "Buddha is also a devil" and "a devil is also a Buddha" are also applicable to the world of "Zhu Xian" in a sense.

"A Buddha is a demon, and a demon is a Buddha."

This profound sentence kept murmuring in his mouth, and Puzhi's originally kind face was constantly intertwined and changing at this moment.

His eyes were closed tightly, and his expression was sometimes kind, sometimes stern, sometimes painful, and sometimes penetrating.

When this situation happened, the instigator, Jiang Yuye, of course understood what was going on.

The old monk Puzhi is about to make a breakthrough.

If he can understand clearly, the Dharma will go to a higher level, far away from the other three great monks in Tianyin Temple, but if he can't understand it...

Then not only Puzhi will become the big devil, but Jiang Yuye will definitely be one of the first ants to be killed.

Thinking that his own life seemed to be still in the hands of this old monk, Jiang Yuye couldn't help but sighed slightly.

Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs.

This sentence "Zhu Xian" is the first sentence of the five volumes of the world's heavenly book, and a fragment of a chapter in the Tao Te Ching, which really expresses the wonderful relationship between "heaven", "earth" and "human being".
