Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 502 The Change of Tang Sanzang
"Wake up, it's time to go." Yang Xin kicked Tang Sanzang awake.

Tang Sanzang looked bewildered, and looked at his hands in disbelief, only to see that the originally clean and tender hands were covered with calluses.

"Don't think about it, it's all true. The time flow rate in the chessboard world is different from the time flow rate in the real world. One night has passed in the real world, and about a year has passed in the chessboard world. Come, transport the true energy to your hands, It will eliminate the calluses on your hands." Yang Xin said while making breakfast.

Tang Sanzang silently glanced at his hands, but in the end he didn't use his true energy to get rid of the calluses on his hands.

Tang Sanzang finished breakfast early and took the initiative to help clean up. After cleaning up, he started to set off. Along the way, Tang Sanzang was very silent. It seemed that the experience in the chessboard world had a great impact on him, and his cognition and three views were completely It collapsed, and the ideas and beliefs in my heart began to waver.

In short, Tang Sanzang was silent and confused.

When Yang Xin and Tang Sanzang arrived at the village, they happened to encounter six bandits headed by Ma Dehua attacking the village.

Tang Sanzang's bewildered eyes suddenly flashed with light, Tang Sanzang looked back, and saw the old god Yang Xin watching there, without the slightest plan to come forward to rescue him.

"Ask if you don't understand anything." Yang Xin said seeing Tang Sanzang's hesitant expression.

"The bandits attacked the village, why didn't we come forward and rescue each other?" Tang Sanzang asked.

"In his position, they are not the people of our Tang Empire, nor have they paid tribute to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, nor have they paid taxes. As the Qin King of the Tang Empire, I only treat my own people. Responsible, for them, this king has no responsibility or obligation to save them." Yang Xin said calmly.

"What about morality? Out of morality, can we go to rescue him?" Tang Sanzang asked.

"Out of morality, of course." Yang Xin said as a matter of course.

"Then why didn't His Highness take action?" Tang Sanzang asked.

"Why does the king want to take action? It is you who want to save, so you do it." Yang Xin said.

"The generals don't know martial arts, let alone magic. Saving them is just a piece of cake for His Highness," Tang Sanzang said.

"So when you touch your upper lip to your lower lip, you stand at the highest point of morality, instruct others to do this and that, and then achieve your own reputation, make your thoughts clear, and don't care about other people's feelings?" Yang Xin asked.

"That's not what I mean, I just want to save people." Tang Sanzang said hastily.

"Then go up and save yourself." Yang Xin said.

"But……"

"But what? You so-called monks always like to impose your will on others. Zhunti Saint is, Tathagata Buddha is. It is understandable for them to do this. After all, the strong in this world respect, they are strong Or, and yours is nothing, and you also impose your will on others, does it mean that all people have to revolve around you to make you happy."

"That's not what I meant." Tang Sanzang argued again and again.

"What you do and say is what you mean. Tang Sanzang, if you want to impose your will on others, or to put it another way, if you want to save all sentient beings, there are only two ways."

"The first way is to become as powerful as the Zhunti saint. No matter what others think, whether they listen to your words or not, and whether they are convinced or not, slap them up and subdue them, just like the three thousand Buddhas and the Four Great Buddhas. Like the mounts of Bodhisattvas, they use powerful force to force them to be obedient, and if they are disobedient, they will be beaten. Most of them will be obedient, even if they are not convinced, but obedient;

"Either you practice it personally and use your own actions to influence them, just like Confucius traveled around the world and established a teacher for all generations. He taught and guided them. Of course, the results may not be satisfactory. There is no third way, and it is impossible for you to go up. As soon as the lips touch the lower lip, people will die and you will get the benefits. Even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Jade Emperor, and the Tathagata Buddha cannot do this. Where to go is up to you." Yang Xin said and looked at Tang Sanzang.

"I'm going to save people." Tang Sanzang jumped off the giant wolf Hui Feng and started to move forward.

"Courage is commendable." Yang Xin nodded and threw a set of armor and a sword directly to Tang Sanzang. These were high-quality armor and swords. Sun Wukong brought them from the East China Sea Dragon Palace. They were of extremely high quality and could barely be used. It can be called a magic weapon.

Seeing this, Tang Sanzang immediately put on his armor, and rushed forward with a big sword in his hand.

The robbers are all ordinary people, and the weapons they hold are also ordinary soldiers. They can't break Tang Sanzang's defense at all, and they are not Tang Sanzang's opponents.

When Tang Sanzang ran back excitedly, Yang Xin asked quietly: "Is this the end?"

"Well, it's over." Tang Sanzang said excitedly.

"Then let's go." Yang Xin then asked.

"This... we can't leave for the time being. The villagers are too enthusiastic and insist on entertaining us for lunch." Tang Sanzang said awkwardly.

"Just because of this delay? I remember we just finished breakfast." Yang Xin looked calm.

"The villagers will also listen to the general's explanation of Buddhism." Tang Sanzang said awkwardly, fearing that his own assertion would arouse Yang Xin's resentment, and he would be beaten with dozens of military sticks.It doesn't matter if you beat him with a military stick, what matters is that you can't preach Buddhism to the villagers.

"Okay!" Yang Xinhun said nonchalantly.

Tang Sanzang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, and brought Yang Xin to the village. In order not to scare the villagers, Yang Xin had already turned the giant wolf Gray Wind and the giant dragon Viserion into horses.

The villagers had already prepared the food and wine, and were waiting for Yang Xin and Tang Sanzang to be seated. In order to spread the Dharma as soon as possible, Tang Sanzang was not polite and planned to eat first.

"Holy monk, please drink this cup first. After we are full of wine and food, we will listen to the teachings of the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty." The villagers began to persuade them to drink.

"This... monks can't drink alcohol." Tang Sanzang said in a low voice, for fear that Yang Xin would hear him claiming to be a monk again.

"It's okay, this is vegetarian wine."

Tang Sanzang couldn't stand being persuaded to drink, so he drank three glasses. Yang Xin did not refuse anyone who came.Yang Xin looked at Tang Sanzang who was immersed in excitement and couldn't help snorting. This Tang Sanzang has never experienced any beating from society. Do you really think that if you help these villagers drive away the bandits, these villagers will be grateful from the bottom of their hearts?Didn't you see the forced smiles on the villagers' faces?

After a while, Yang Xin fell asleep on the pretext that he was too drunk. After Tang Sanzang drank three glasses of plain wine, his mind began to become unclear and he felt light-headed, and then he fainted on the wine table.

When Tang Sanzang woke up, it was already dark. Tang Sanzang suddenly found that he and Yang Xin had been tied tightly to the woodshed.At this time, the villagers led the robbers to the woodshed where Yang Xin and Tang Sanzang were.

"Your Majesty, it's him, he's the one who injured your Majesty." The villager pointed at Tang Sanzang and said.

Without saying a word, the bandit leader first gave Tang Sanzang a big mouth, and then kicked Tang Sanzang several times to wake him up.

"After the grandpas have finished eating the wine and meat, we will prepare you again." The robber beat Tang Sanzang, turned around and left the woodshed, came to the main house of the villagers and began to eat and drink.

"It's you villagers who drugged the wine, kidnapped us, and handed us over to the bandits. I helped you fight off the bandits, why did you turn favors against enemies?" Tang Sanzang asked angrily in confusion. road.

The villagers just gave Tang Sanzang a cold look, then turned and left. After closing the door, they sent two villagers to guard here, lest Yang Xin and Tang Sanzang escape.

"Do you think that driving away the robbers means they are kind?" Yang Xin said suddenly.

After hearing Yang Xin's words, Tang Sanzang saw Yang Xin's calm look, and his nervous heart suddenly calmed down. He couldn't help but ask: "I drove away the robbers and saved them. Isn't it considered a favor?"

"No, this is not kindness, this is hatred, and it is a life-and-death feud. You are not doing good, but indulging in evil. Goodness without a bottom line is the greatest evil in the world, and this kind of thing only touches yourself but does not care about the life or death of others. What is good is also evil. Don't understand?"

"I ask you, you beat the robber away and walked away. When the robber recovers from his injuries, he will intensify his harm to the villagers. Then what will these villagers do? By then, what they have lost will Not just some property, but even losing one's life? Do you think what you did was a favor or an enmity to them?" Yang Xin asked.

"Is it wrong to rescue the villagers?" Tang Sanzang murmured to himself.

"For you, there is nothing wrong with helping the villagers, because you are showing kindness; for the villagers, there is nothing wrong with being kind to the villagers, because this is the instinct of human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is also the instinct of the weak to survive... ..."

"Your mistake is that you didn't do everything right! If when you rescued the villagers, you didn't beat the robbers away, but killed the robbers. By the way, you followed the clues, brought the robbers to the pot, and solved the troubles for the villagers. It’s a problem; or, after you beat the robbers away, you kill all the villagers, and there is no problem to solve the troubles for the robbers; if you go further, you kill all the villagers and robbers, and there is no problem.” Yang Xin joked.

Tang Sanzang couldn't help widening his eyes when he heard the words. Looking at Yang Xin's expression, Tang Sanzang knew that Yang Xin's last two sentences were teasing. Tang Sanzang thought carefully about Yang Xin's first sentence. Indeed, he beat the robbers away by himself. It's a little unethical to just pat your ass and leave. The robber will definitely retaliate against the villagers even more after heals up. Rescuing the villagers by himself is not only not doing good, but indirectly harming the villagers.

If he directly beat the robber to death while rescuing the villagers, and broke the monastic precepts, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but sigh: "Why is it so difficult to do something good?"

"Indeed, doing good deeds is more difficult than doing evil deeds, because of people's hearts, you can't just move yourself without thinking about others, you have to think about everything before you can act, why is it not difficult, in fact, the easiest thing is to pretend not to see it, The robbers have lived here for a long time and know the family conditions of the villagers. The so-called robbery is nothing more than grabbing some food, so how can they do such a stupid thing? However, these robbers are better than you Buddhas, at least the robbers will not kill the villagers." Yang Xin said calmly.

"This is the reason why His Highness treated each other coldly and was unwilling to step forward to rescue. However, not to come to the rescue when seeing evil happening is against... against one's own heart." Tang Sanzang originally wanted to say that it was against Buddhist precepts, but when he thought of most people Buddhists don't do anything about human affairs, so they can only change their words.

"Then you go to save it, do it thoroughly, and don't give up halfway." Yang Xin said.

"But monks are not allowed to kill." Tang Sanzang said.

"Hahahaha!" Yang Xintian laughed hysterically, tears streaming down his face. After laughing enough, Yang Xin asked, "Who told you that monks are not allowed to kill?"

"Why? There is something wrong with this sentence?" Tang Sanzang asked.

"Of course there is a problem. Monks are not allowed to kill. Does Tathagata Buddha kill few lives? Does Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva kill few lives? Five hundred arhats and three thousand Buddhas are all over the sky. Bhikkhus, are there few lives killed? Just talk about the golden mount of the Burning Lamp Buddha. Winged roc bird, eating people is not eating one by one, but eating by a city, you are actually saying that monks are not allowed to kill?"

"Let's talk about you. In your previous life, you were a ferocious six-winged golden cicada, and your ferocious reputation spread throughout the world. Did you kill many people? How do you think your ferocious reputation spread?" Yang Xin asked in return.

Tang Sanzang was silent, Tang Sanzang did not doubt Yang Xin's words, because since he came into contact with Yang Xin, although Yang Xin's words had brought a devastating blow to his cognition and three views, what Yang Xin said, Tang Sanzang It has been verified and found that what Yang Xin said is true, and Tang Sanzang did not find that Yang Xin said a single lie.

As for Tathagata Buddha killing life and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva killing life, Tang Sanzang also believed it, because even Tang Emperor Li Shi killed a bloody river in order to ascend to the throne of the emperor, not to mention the Tathagata Buddha who ruled the Buddhism of the Three Realms?

Tang Sanzang believed that Tathagata Buddha became the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas because of his profound Dharma. However, after experiencing so many things, Tang Sanzang no longer believed it. Without strength and iron-blooded means, he could not sit in that position.

"Tang Sanzang, don't be so entangled, just follow your heart. The so-called elimination of evil is to promote good! Good to evil people is evil to good people. Where to go is up to you." Yang Xin broke free and tied up in The rope on his body immediately fell off.

Tang Sanzang also struggled and broke the rope. He really thought that the innate true energy in Tang Sanzang's body was weak. It might not be able to deal with demons and ghosts, but he could still deal with these bandits with ease.

Tang Sanzang, who broke free from the rope, did not go out in a hurry. Instead, his face turned blue and white, and he fought fiercely. Finally, Tang Sanzang made up his mind and kicked open the door without waiting for the villagers guarding the woodshed to react. Come here, knock him out with two punches, and head straight for the living room where the robber is.

Tang Sanzang knocked the group of robbers to the ground with three punches and two kicks. When he was sure that there were only these robbers in the group, Tang Sanzang took back the sword and stabbed the robber to death with one sword.

Tang Sanzang vomited "Wow~".

"Spit it up, spit it up, spit it out." Yang Xin gloated.

Tang Sanzang vomited and stabbed all the robbers to death. Then, Tang Sanzang asked, "What should we do with these villagers?"

"Should we kill them all?" Yang Xin asked jokingly.

"No, although they are guilty, but the crime does not lead to death, but I am not willing to let them go like this." Tang Sanzang shook his head and said.

Anyone who walks a circle between life and death will not be reconciled.

"Those who deserve merit will be rewarded, those who commit crimes will be punished." Yang Xin didn't bother to fight with Tang Sanzang any more, and said directly.

Tang Sanzang's eyes lit up, and he beat all the villagers as punishment, and then left without thinking.

Yang Xin smiled calmly and followed. Not long after leaving the village, Yang Xin found a place to set up camp. Tang Sanzang didn't have the heart to eat, so he asked for tents from Yang Xin. After setting up the tent, he went Got in, and fell asleep after a while.

Yang Xin knew that what happened during the day had a great impact on Tang Sanzang, but Yang Xin obviously would not let Tang Sanzang go so easily. He summoned the chessboard with one move of his hand, and then threw Tang Sanzang away like a chicken. Entering the chessboard world, let him continue to experience people's livelihood, labor reform, and let the people on the chessboard teach him martial arts.

After doing all this, Yang Xin began to slowly light the bonfire and enjoy the rare silence.

Suddenly, a Bai Lian rushed towards Yang Xin.
