Chapter 693 Even Animals Have Buddha Nature
The big man said: "I used to be a pig butcher. I had to eat at least five catties of meat every day, otherwise I would feel bad all over. This little monk lied to me, saying that if I came here to be a monk, I could eat and drink every day without having to work so hard to kill pigs." Pigs sell meat, but when I came here, it was not the same thing at all.”

Zhize shrank his head and said: "The poor monk didn't lie to you, it's true that there is food and drink!"

The big man stared and said angrily: "Hmph, eating white rice, drinking herbal tea, and eating vegetables and radishes every day, birds are about to fade out of my mouth!"

Xiaoyao laughed and said: "Master, monks are not allowed to eat meat, don't you know that?"

The man yelled out of course: "No one told me, how would I know? Then I am no longer a monk, I am no longer a monk."

Zhi Ze hurriedly said: "No, no, you have received the ordination, you cannot go back on your word."

The big man's eyes widened with anger, and he was about to run away again, "I can't do it if I don't want to be?"

Zhi Ze nodded again and again, and said: "Of course not, once you enter Buddhism, you must never go back on your word."

"Then give me meat, and I won't go back on my word."

Zhize persuaded him earnestly: "Amitabha, you can't eat meat after you enter Buddhism. You can endure it for a few days, junior brother. Don't lose a single piece of merit!"

The man said furiously, "I don't want to hold back. I managed to catch a hare just now, and boiled a pot of broth to satisfy my hunger. Who would have thought that this little bastard would dump all the meat and soup."

At this time, Ouyang Fei and the others had also come forward, Lin Yueru said to Zhi Ze: "This elder brother doesn't want to become a monk, why do you force him to stay? Are there still few people who are vulgar?"

Zhize said weakly: "This... this is the master's intention, I can't go against it."

"Master? Who is your master?"

"The abbot of this temple, Master Zhixiu."

Lin Yueru snorted and said, "I've never heard of the rule that you are not allowed to return to vulgarity. Hey, this big pig butcher, you don't want to become a monk, and they won't let you go. Why don't you slip away by yourself? You are so big, who will stop you?" I can live with you?"

As soon as these words came out, the big man became even more angry, saying: "I would have gone back long ago if I could."

Lin Yueru wondered, "How do you say that?"

The man scratched his bare head, and said in a daze, "Since Master Abbot shaved my body, I can't remember many things before I became a monk. I don't even know where my family is. I only know that I am a butcher. , I just want to eat meat."

Xiaoyao looked at Ouyang Fei and Ling'er suspiciously, could this be what Brother Fei said was restricted in his mind?
Ouyang Fei nodded to him calmly, signaling him to be calm and wait for the changes, and wait for the so-called Master Zhixiu to show up before making any fuss.

The big man was still clamoring: "I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat."

What the big man said inexplicably made Mu Xi, Mu Xia, Ou Jingyan and the others want to laugh, because just now, a melody popped up in their minds, "If I want to eat meat, I have to eat meat. Only when I am full can I have strength." I will accompany you around the world..."

Zhize continued to babble and persuade: "Amitabha, all spirits have Buddha nature, how can they feed on each other?"

"Say it again, say it again, I will cut you off."

The man bent down to pick up the knife on the ground, and was about to swing it up again, Xiaoyao rolled his eyes helplessly, turned the long sword upside down, pressed the sword close to his arm, and sent the hilt to his chest, Immediately, his mountain-like body flew out of the shock and landed heavily on the ground.

Zhi Ze hurriedly said with concern: "Junior Brother Zhizhang, are you alright?"

"mentally retarded?"

"puff"

Ou Jingyan's stunned question immediately made Mu Xi and Mu Xia burst out laughing. Little Shitou really knew how to take the name, and Ouyang Fei also grinned.

That mentally handicapped... Ah bah, Master Zhizhang clutched his heart, unable to get up in pain, while moaning, he was still full of obscene language, meaning nothing more than to do something to Zhize's mother.

Zhize didn't look angry, he took a step back, and said to Ouyang Fei and others, "All benefactors, let me introduce you to Master Abbot!"

Ouyang Fei nodded and said with a smile, "I'm sorry."

A group of people followed Zhize, walked through the Zhigui Pavilion, turned to the second arch, and climbed up the stairs. The west pavilion behind the Daxiong Hall should be the place where the scriptures are stored, but there is only one old monk bowing his head to copy the scriptures in the room. through.

In the bedroom on the east side, several monks could be vaguely chanting scriptures, until the door of the meditation room at the top was closed, Zhize said from outside the door: "Abbot, some benefactors are asking to see you."

But hearing a faint "hmm" from inside the door, Zhi Ze turned his head and said to Ouyang Fei: "The abbot is sure, please!"

As he spoke, he gently opened the door. Ouyang Fei stepped into the room first, and saw only a futon and an incense burner in the empty meditation room. In the center of the bed sat a monk wearing the abbot's cassock, and two stood beside him. A monk with a peaceful face.

To everyone's astonishment, the monk wearing the abbot's cassock looked very immature, almost like a child.

The round face is somewhat similar to Zhize, and even looks a few years younger than Zhize, how could it be Master Fangzhang?

Xiaoyao was suspicious, Zhize bowed respectfully and said: "Master, these are the ones who are asking to see you."

Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru looked at each other, "How could it be a child?"

Lin Yueru said in a low voice: "Could it be rejuvenation? I heard that some masters can cultivate to a certain level, and they can have youthful looks and white hair. This monk has no hair, so I don't know if he has white hair..."

Only Ling'er remained silent, looked at Zhixiu, and then at Ouyang Fei, only to see that Ouyang Fei was looking at the young monk in front of him with interest, with a faint smile.

Master Zhixiu said slowly, "Amitabha, why did the benefactors come?"

Seeing that Ouyang Fei didn't intend to speak, Xiaoyao had no choice but to take the initiative and said: "I heard that the master's mana is very powerful. I would like to ask the master to go down the mountain to get rid of the corpse demon, and get rid of one evil for the residents of Baihe Village and Heishui Town."

Master Zhixiu said slowly: "This old man is a Buddhist, and he never asks about outside world affairs, everyone, please go back!"

Xiaoyao hurriedly said: "Master's words are wrong. It is only natural for monks to subdue demons and defend Taoism. How can it be an outside world?"

Master Zhixiu raised his eyelids to look at Xiaoyao, and said: "The benefactor believes that it is the duty of a monk to eliminate demons and defend the way. So, benefactor, are you willing to eliminate demons and defend the way?"

Xiaoyao said as a matter of course: "Of course, as long as I can, I will do my best. The main reason I came here today is because I don't know where the source of the corpse monster is, so I want to ask the master to come out of the mountain to show the way, even if the master doesn't do it. .”

Master Zhixiu smiled slightly, and in this kind smile, there was really a bit of the demeanor of an eminent monk, "My Buddha is merciful, and you, the benefactor, also have a heart of compassion, wishing to be liberated from the world?"

"Of course." Xiaoyao looked righteous and duty-bound.

Master Zhixiu smiled and said, "By taking this as a measure, you, the benefactor, really possess Buddha-nature."

Xiaoyao smiled embarrassedly when he heard the words: "Hey, I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it."

Lin Yueru pursed her lips and said, "Don't forget that even animals have Buddha nature."

Xiaoyao glared at her, and felt embarrassed to argue with her in front of the master.
