The two little devils went out, and the devil's eye on the black tower did a routine scan, and then watched the two little guys stepping on the thick snow towards the forest in the mountains.

It's normal for the devil to go out looking for food. As long as he passes through under the eyes of the devil, there won't even be any guards coming to check.

In the eyes of the demons, this is their territory, how dare human monks come here in this weather.

"Brother, do you have any way to hunt?" Long Twenty-one took out a knife and looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked.

Li Xiuyuan took out an iron bow, looked at him and said with a smile, "Isn't it enough to have this?"

Long Blackjack nodded. He thought that with the combined efforts of the two of them, they might be able to bring back a larger beast, enough to feed him for ten days and a half.

"We have to kill a bigger beast today so we don't have to go out in the cold tomorrow!"

Long Twenty-one looked around nervously, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said.

And Li Xiuyuan stepped hard on the snow, as if he was looking for something?

Looking at Long Twenty-one's puzzled eyes, Li Xiuyuan coughed twice to hide his embarrassment and said with a smile: "You want me to look for traces of wild beasts, so you should pay more attention."

Long Twenty-one smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm familiar with this place. I can find them in less than an hour."

Li Xiuyuan nodded and asked thoughtfully: "Brother, why are all the human monks in the cave acting so stupidly, as if they have no strength?"

Long Erxia held the knife in his hand and stared ahead, while casually saying: "The uncles in the cave gave them medicine cooked with heartbroken grass, saying that they would detoxify them after they returned..."

An innocent conversation between the two solved a huge problem for Li Xiuyuan.

When he decided to leave, he would take Long Twenty-One with him no matter what. For no other reason than to call Long Twenty-One his brother.

A young devil who has lost his parents is afraid that when he grows up, he will have the only way out to become cannon fodder.

Since he had a choice, since there was still time to change everything, he wanted to give Long Twenty-one the choice to start over.

...

I don't know whether it was because they had a new partner, or because Li Xiuyuan wanted to stay away from the Devil's Eye, but their pace was not fast.

It wasn't until he saw that the Devil's Eye had turned into a small black dot from a distance that Li Xiuyuan pulled Long Twenty-one back.

On the way back, the two met a black bear, a black bear about six feet tall.

In Long Twenty-one's frightened eyes, Li Xiuyuan shot an arrow through the black bear's head.

Seeing the black bear flopping heavily in the snow, Long Twenty-One roared and ran forward... This was beyond his expectation.

In the following days, he no longer had to worry about being hungry.

Thinking of the inconvenience of going back, Li Xiuyuan squatted in the snow and cut open the black bear's skin, divided the meat into dozens of pieces, put them all into the space ring, and then slowly walked back.

"You can take as much as you want from now on, don't take it all out at once..."

Afraid of being noticed by the demons, Li Xiuyuan repeatedly told Long Twenty-one and handed him a space ring filled with bear meat: "This way, no one will snatch the meat from you."

Long Blackjack nodded: "Brother is right, Twenty-One hates those big demons the most. Whenever Twenty-One sees something delicious, they will come and snatch it from me..."

"You will follow me from now on. If anyone dares to bully you, we brothers will beat him up together!"

Li Xiuyuan put some force on his feet, looked at the devil's eyes on the black tower, and said coldly. When it comes to the ability to protect food, he is not much worse than others.

When Long Twenty-one heard it at first, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Brother can even take care of a black bear, so naturally he is not afraid of those big demons. In the future, they will no longer be afraid of them bullying Twenty-One."

Back in the cave, Li Xiuyuan took a piece of meat and marinated it. He looked at Long Twenty-one who was lighting a fire and said, "This meat needs to be marinated for an hour before it becomes flavorful. I'm going to see those humans."

Long Blackjack nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, go quickly, today's meat will definitely taste better than yesterday's."

Li Xiuyuan cut off a bear's paw and put it into the iron pot. He looked at him and ordered: "You watch here and stew on low heat. I will be back in less than an hour."

Long Twenty-one waved his hand and said: "Brother, go quickly, Twenty-One wants to eat barbecue."

Li Xiuyuan followed the marks he made and found the cave where Su Quan, Xiaoyu and others were. He saw Su Quan talking about Buddhist scriptures with a group of monks.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned and asked deliberately and coldly: "Brother Su, you are all in hell, are you still talking about Buddhism here, is it useful?"

After Su Quan was silent for a moment, he said with a wry smile: "Even if I'm in the abyss, it can't stop me from turning towards the light... There are hundreds of us here, we have to find a way to survive, right?!"

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "That's right, living is the most important thing."

Su Quan asked: "Aren't you playing outside and came here to listen to me preach Buddhist scriptures?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, threw him a piece of bear meat, and said lightly: "He is afraid that you will starve to death here. This is what Long Twenty-one and I gained today..."

Xiaoyu, who was sitting nearby, exclaimed: "What a big piece of meat. We can eat it for several days. Thank you, little Shura!"

Su Quan looked at the bear meat in his hand, thought for a while and said, "Would you like to stay and have a drink together?"

Li Xiuyuan didn't want to have too much contact with them, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the demons.

Looking at him, he said: "Brother Su has been here for a while. I wonder if he has encountered anything new?"

Su Quan handed the bear meat to Xiao Yu behind him, looked at the stone wall of the cave, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "In addition to the people and things that have been preserved, what else can there be?"

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that he was indeed an idiot for asking.

With the temperament of these monks, there is no way they would be interested in finding out the details of the demon. He said: "Brother Su is giving lectures in this cave, which is quite happy."

Su Quan shook his head and said, "It's a coincidence that you're here today. I've been telling Xiaoyu and the others stories from Buddhist scriptures these past few days."

Li Xiuyuan found it incomprehensible, thinking that you are already trapped in the devil's cave. Even if you preach Buddhist scriptures, can you still ascend out of thin air?

Su Quan said: "I used to read some Buddhist scriptures at home, and later I read some more on the Shura battlefield. I just picked some easy-to-understand stories and told them to them, so that they would be effective."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "Brother Su has a heart. How can he gain some insights when he lectures on the scriptures?"

When Su Quan heard this, he said calmly: "In my opinion, Buddhist scriptures are all lies. What can I learn from them?"

Li Xiuyuan was stunned and expressed confusion.

Su Quan continued: "We have been captured by demons for several years. During this period, we have been praying to Buddha, hoping that one day he can lead us out of the sea of ​​suffering."

Su Quan looked at the fire that was getting colder in front of him, and his voice gradually became colder: "Buddha said he would save all sentient beings, but he didn't care about the suffering of us here? What's the difference between them and liars?"

Li Xiuyuan asked: "Since Brother Su hates Buddha, why do you want to recite Buddha's name? What are you going to do next?"

Su Quan sighed and said quietly: "I came here to meditate and practice Buddhism. How could I have imagined that this Buddha ignored me? How can I meditate when I see the tragic ending of my brothers and sisters?"

Li Xiuyuan reminded: "Since you are still cultivating Buddhism, you can't curse people like this."

Su Quan gently touched his inch-long black hair and murmured: "I have already sharpened my will, so why not scold him a few times?"

Li Xiuyuan was startled, then smiled and said, "You are really an interesting person."

Su Quan stood up and added some firewood to the fire. While helping Xiaoyu marinate the meat, he said, "I didn't expect that you have the strength to kill a bear at such a young age. Do you want to learn Buddhism from me? I'll teach you some by the way."

The truth in the world?!"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Buddha is already in hell. He can't save you, and he can't save me."

When Su Quan heard this, he looked at him blankly for a long time and then said: "If I hadn't seen you with two horns on your head, I would have thought you were a god and Buddha walking in the world..."

The principle he learned in this world is that humans and demons are inseparable, but the words of this little devil today that opened his consciousness deeply shocked him. Why couldn't he understand this principle before?

If the Buddha is already in hell, then who will save the world?

"If the Buddha is already in hell, it seems that Brother Su, you can only save yourselves... I have heard a saying that it is better to seek help from others than to seek help from yourself. I don't know if this is true."

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that I am a demon. You can never let a demon talk to you about Buddhism, right?

Thinking of this, I thought it would be better to come here less often before I leave, otherwise the secret will be exposed sooner or later.

"The winter is long, there is meat to eat, and it's good to hear stories. Brother Su, you can hold on and don't commit suicide. After all, living is not easy..."

He was afraid that some of these guys would wipe their necks and commit suicide before he could save them.

Xiaoyu on the side was stunned, looked at him and said: "Even if we want to commit suicide, we still have to have the strength? Do you see the difference between us and the dead?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "There is a difference. Only when you are alive can you have hope. If you die, you will have to go to hell to suffer. So why bother? It's better to live."

Upon hearing this, Su Quan nodded and said, "Well said, only when you are alive can you have hope."

Xiaoyu sighed and said helplessly: "Aren't we just struggling here? I hope God will be able to let me return to the wilderness...I won't be beaten to death in the future.

It’s Shura battlefield.”

Li Xiuyuan was speechless upon hearing this.

Looking at the two of them, he said: "Since you are in hell, you have to face the sun and go out to hunt and find food instead of sitting here waiting for my uncles to come and give you alms."

Seeing Su Quan's silence, Li Xiuyuan continued: "I don't know if there is a Buddha in the world, but there must be a Buddha in hell. It depends on whether you are willing to believe it or not."

"How do you prove it?" Su Quan said lightly: "Of course, even if the Buddha is in hell, if he is not thinking about saving himself, how can he take care of all sentient beings."

Studying Buddhism without believing in Buddhism is a way for Su Quan and others to enjoy themselves in desperate situations, but they still cannot move the immovable human Buddha in front of them.

Li Xiuyuan asked: "What if the Buddha in hell doesn't save you? Is it possible that you want to turn yourself into a hungry ghost? Or find a way to enter the hungry ghost realm or the Shura realm?"

Su Quan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I really haven't thought about this issue carefully. If it happens one day, I will die."

What Su Quan said was calm and clear, but what Xiaoyu and others heard was thrilling.

After being silent for a long time, Xiaoyu couldn't help but asked softly: "Brother, what if the Buddha in the Buddha Hell really saves us from the sea of ​​suffering?"

Su Quan categorically did not believe it and said in a solemn voice: "If one day, we cut off our hair and enter Buddhism, dedicate ourselves to the Buddha, and peacefully become Buddhist disciples..."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, sighed and said: "As far as I know, there are no Buddhist temples in the wilderness. Where did you go to cut off your hair and enter a temple to learn Buddhism? Are you deceiving yourself?"

Su Quan was silent for a moment, and seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said quietly: "Before the wilderness, there were no Buddhist temples, so it starts with me. I will build a Buddhist temple in Ding'an City, and the cultivation of Buddhism will start with me...

"

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he really wanted to praise him.
