Chapter 58 Are you... a Buddha?

Maybe the two bottles of potion had an effect, or maybe it was because Wu Wen's injuries were not as serious as imagined.

In short, on the next day, after Fang Yu woke up from her comfortable bed, she went out down the mountain to pick some wild fruits and vegetables. By the way, she hit two squirrels with stones. When she came back, she saw Tan Wanjun and others sitting on Wu Wen's bed.

Beside him, there was a troubled look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this situation, Fang Yu thought Wu Wen had woken up, but she walked over to take a look.

Really woke up!

After Dai Yuanpei drank the elixir, he fell asleep for two days.

But Wu Wen just slept for a whole night and actually woke up!

Don't just look back on the past, right?

Fang Yu quickly moved over, raised Wu Wen's hand, felt her pulse, and observed it again.

Wu Wen was lying on the bed with his eyes open, but no matter how Fang Yu moved, he remained motionless, as if dead, and did not even blink his eyelids.

This is

Fang Yu thought Wu Wen just had his eyes open and was asleep, but Fang Yu just stretched out his hand to push his eyelids down and took them away again. As a result, he opened his eyes again, but this time

He finally responded.

He turned his head slightly, looked at Fang Yu calmly, spoke slowly, and said in a hoarse tone.

"Are you a Buddha?"

???

When Fang Yu was asked this question by Wu Wen, her head was filled with questions.

But there was no response from Fang Yu. Wu Wen was like a mobile phone. After turning on the screen, there was no operation, and the screen would go black again after a few seconds. After Fang Yu did not respond, he slowly turned his head back and was blank again.

Looking at the beams in the Zen room.

However, his eyes were empty. Obviously, he was not looking at anything, but was in a daze, or thinking about something.

Tan Qing next to him looked a little curious and planned to poke his face with his finger, but was grabbed back by Dai Yuanpei.

Tan Wanjun pulled Fang Yu's clothes, Fang Yu stood up, and the two of them walked to the side. Tan Wanjun told Fang Yu what happened to them before.

It turned out that not long after Fang Yu went out, Tan Wanjun and the others woke up. Then, Tan Qing first noticed that Wu Wen had woken up, with her eyes open and looking blankly at the beams.

First, Huang Mei tried to ask him, "Master?"

As a result, he remained motionless and unresponsive.

Then Fang Sanduo waved his hand in front of his eyes. Only then did he react. He slowly turned his head to look at Fang Sanduo and asked the same question as before.

"Are you a Buddha?"

Fang Sanduo was also confused by the question for a moment and did not respond. Then Wu Wen turned her head back and continued to be in a daze just like she did just now.

In the back, Tan Wanjun and the others tried, no matter how they called, pushed, slapped or hit him, of course, they just patted and hit him lightly. No matter how hard they tried, he would not have any reaction.

But as long as someone is shaking in front of his eyes, he will react immediately, find the shaking person, and then ask:

"Are you a Buddha?"

Tan Wanjun and others also tried to respond to this question.

If they don't answer, or if the answer is wrong, Wu Wen will ignore them, just like entering the password incorrectly, and he will reset again.

Only when he answers "Yes!" will he trigger the second stage.

Yes, he is like a robot now. He will only respond to your words if the answer is correct.

"Why?"

This was the second sentence Tan Wanjun asked when he tried to answer "yes".

Tan Wanjun and the others still haven't found the correct answer to this sentence.

"Are you a Buddha?"

"yes"

"Why?"

How do I know why I am a Buddha?! Aren’t you always asking me if I am a Buddha? If not, you don’t care, and if I am, you don’t believe it!

Tan Wanjun seriously suspected that the little monk in front of her was probably too seriously injured, which damaged his brain and turned him into a fool. That's why he behaved like this.

None of the people present had studied Buddhism or anything like that, so they didn't understand the philosophical concepts of Buddhism.

Naturally, there was no way to answer Wu Wen's question.

No matter what they do next, Wu Wen only has these two sentences: "Are you a Buddha?" "Why?"

Then, they waited until Fang Yu came back.

After hearing what Tan Wanjun said, Fang Yu scratched her face and handed the wild fruits and vegetables in her hands to Tan Qing, asking the little guy to clean them.

About ten meters below the temple, there is a small stream, which seems to be mountain spring water. That's where they received the water last night.

Fang Sanduo, who was next to him, took the squirrel from Fang Yu's hand, and together with Huang Mei, he took the Wan knife that had been disinfected and slightly sharpened with a stone last night, and went to the stream to clean it together.

Anyway, the three of them can't help much in this situation, so why not do something. When Fang Yu comes back, let Fang Yu handle it.

When Dai Yuanpei saw this, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he picked up the earthen pot and planned to go to the stream to collect the water and come back to boil the water.

Seeing that they were all moving, Fang Yu suddenly had nothing to do, so he sat down directly next to Wu Wen without any courtesy.

Now he is indeed quite worried about Wu Wen's condition.

He couldn't really be saved, but he was stupid in the end, right?

What is this?

My idiot brother?

Fang Yu tried to reach out and wave it in front of Wu Wen's eyes, and sure enough, Wu Wen's head began to slowly turn around again.

"Are you a Buddha?"

"yes"

"Why?"

Fang Yu didn't answer.

Everything is just as Tan Wanjun said. If Fang Yu doesn't answer, he will return to his half-dead look and continue to be in a daze.

Fang Yu scratched his head.

Last night, they had actually speculated on what might happen to this temple.

Judging from this known information, Wu Wen is now a monk.

The previous Dawan people probably came to the top of the mountain to take refuge due to heavy rains and flash floods, and found the temple.

Other victims were also found together.

Then everyone entered the temple.

Then, apparently so many people suddenly joined, and coupled with heavy rains and flash floods, food could not be supplied, so they also suffered from famine.

Then, the tragedy of "big hunger and cannibalism" that often happened in ancient times began to take place.

Seeing that there were only monks and thin victims in the room, we could tell that those Dawan people were probably in charge of all this.

Because before the founding of the Chu State, when Dawan invaded the Central Plains, they had done this kind of cannibalism. When they were hungry, these Dawan people, who were not here to do good things, most likely ate food to fill their stomachs.

Choose to attack other people in the temple.

All of them are Dawan soldiers, with strong fighting ability and good figures. Obviously no one can resist them at first.

It was not until later, when they were cornered, that someone might have taken the lead and launched a resistance. In this resistance, most people died, especially the Dawan people. Apparently, among those who killed the Dawan people,

Wu Wen.

Because the broken shoulder pole was right next to him, and among the Dawan people outside, about four or five deaths were due to blows to the neck or head with blunt objects. Fang Yu had observed the broken pole, and it was found at both ends.

Stained with blood, this was obviously the murder weapon.

Anyway, after a catastrophe, Wu Wen was the only one left in the end. Of course, it is possible that all the survivors ran away, leaving Wu Wen sitting cross-legged on a futon and chanting sutras until Fang Yu and the others arrived.

According to what they saw, Wu Wen had been sitting cross-legged on the futon for at least several days.

If Fang Yu and the others were delayed for a while, he would be able to think of himself to death.

After experiencing the tragedy of cannibalism, and also breaking the precept after killing people, now he wakes up and seeks Buddha whenever he opens his mouth.

It’s broken~

It is estimated that Wu Wen cannot accept this kind of tragedy and the fact that she broke the precepts by killing people, and now she urgently needs to confess to the Buddha.

This is just like modern Catholicism, where sinful lambs go to the church confessional to confess their sins.

Wu Wen's appearance now clearly means she wants to repent.

That’s why you catch someone and ask, “Are you a Buddha?”

When I asked why later, I guess he was planning to find someone who at least understood some Buddhist principles. Otherwise, there would be no feedback at all when he confessed.

Of course, these are just his guesses. The details will depend on Fang Yu's answer later.

As for Buddhism, Fang Yu has watched many modern TV series, and many fantasy novels have written explanations of Buddhism. He may not be able to memorize Buddhist scriptures, but when it comes to Zen Buddhism and reasoning, Fang Yu is both good and bad.

Able to live a better life.

At this time, Fang Sanduo and the others happened to have tidied up and the food was already cooked.

It's squirrel and wild vegetable soup.

There was nothing to do now. Now that he saw Fang Yu coming forward with a somewhat confident look on his face, he couldn't help but get closer, intending to see how Fang Yu would respond.

Fang Yu stepped forward and swiped the screen to unlock it as before.

Wu Wen slowly turned her head, looked at Fang Yu and asked.

"Are you a Buddha?"

"I am Buddha"

Fang Yu replied calmly.

"Why?"

Wu Wen's words followed closely.

This is it!

Everyone had already cheered up at this time and planned to see how Fang Yu would answer.

"Everyone in my audience is a Buddha, so I am a Buddha."

Fang Yu looked at Wu Wen and answered in a solemn tone.

When everyone listening nearby heard Fang Yu's words, their minds lit up.

No matter how you say this, it feels very advanced!

This is the reaction of everyone after hearing this sentence.

Of course, this is because they have never heard of this, so they feel this way. If you were a modern person, you would be tired of hearing this sentence.

Wu Wen obviously knew this Buddhist allusion, so after learning Fang Yu's answer, he was a little excited and planned to struggle to get up.

When everyone saw that Wu Wen was about to sit up now, they immediately knew that Fang Yu had entered the "password" correctly, and Wu Wen was truly "unlocked".

Fang Sanduo next to her carefully helped Wu Wen sit up.

There was no way, he kept wanting to get up, but just didn't want to lie down, so we had to let him get up.

Wu Wen sat up, reluctantly clasped her hands in front of her chest, and bowed slightly to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu was also affected by Wu Wen's state, and couldn't help but clasped her hands together and returned the salute.

"Dare you ask me if a demon living in a Buddha's house can become a Buddha?"

Giving up life to feed the devil?

Fang Yu recited it several times before she finally understood the correct words corresponding to these four pronunciations.

Sacrificing their lives to feed demons? In other words, those monks were willing to be eaten?

Fang Yu pondered for a while, but fortunately, Wu Wen seemed to have regained some consciousness after being "unlocked". At this time, she was still looking at Fang Yu expectantly, waiting for his answer.

"The Sword Comes"

Seeing the expectation in Wu Wen's eyes, Fang Yu thought for a while and said.

"Can!"

After learning Fang Yu's affirmative answer, Wu Wen's eyes lit up, as if she had received a satisfactory answer, and even the corner of her mouth showed a smile.

Fang Yu thought it was over, but Wu Wen asked again.

"Dare to ask me, Buddha, if a demon has fallen into such a deep state that it is impossible to save him, how can he subdue it?"

When asked this question, Wu Wen's tone was heavy, but with a hint of deep anger and a deep murderous intention!

Although Wu Wen's murderous intention was very indifferent and hidden so deeply that he didn't even notice it, Fang Yu had a Shura heart. As soon as his murderous intention appeared, Fang Yu discovered it.

Sure enough, Wu Wen started the killing spree!

Feeling this murderous intention, Fang Yu knew that Wu Wen must have "conquered the devil".

Although Fang Yu was a little caught off guard when faced with Wu Wen's question, fortunately, this question was also in his knowledge base.

"The Buddha also has the wrath of the King of Ming. We should use the power of the King of Ming to eliminate the ignorance and darkness of all living beings!"

After receiving Fang Yu's answer, Wu Wen's anger did not subside, but continued to rise. His murderous intention gradually grew stronger, and his voice became louder. Regardless of the hoarseness of his voice, he continued to ask.

"Dare you ask me about Buddha? Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately?"

This question?!

Fang Yu suddenly had a headache.

This sentence is actually really hard to refute.

In Buddhism, this sentence is actually similar to the abolition of the death penalty in the real world.

The reason why this saying is spread is mainly to stop evil people from doing evil.

As mentioned before on the Internet, the reason why the death penalty is abolished is to make those criminals who should have committed the death penalty have some scruples when they commit crimes again.

When faced with some criminals who have no choice but to do so, or who feel remorse, and learn that there is no risk of the death penalty if they surrender, the probability of them surrendering will increase.

And if they knew that surrendering themselves would result in the death penalty, how many would dare to surrender?

Moreover, once the death penalty is set, it is almost impossible for victims who fall into the hands of criminals to survive.

After all, they're all going to die anyway, so what's the point of killing one more person?

I can’t say much else, but that’s the meaning anyway.

The saying "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately" was passed down from generation to generation because of the ability to deceive one person.

Those who have really committed a crime should do whatever they want.

However, if Fang Yu is a "Buddha" now, he cannot directly say that this is a lie. In fact, you are right to kill him, so you should kill him directly.

He has already seen that Wu Wen's words seemed to be asking him, but in fact she was asking herself!

These questions, except for the first sentence "Can I become a Buddha by giving up my life to feed demons?" are really asking "Buddha", the rest of the sentences are all asking myself.

When those questions were in his mind, he already had the answers.

As expected.

Obviously Fang Yu didn't answer, but Wu Wen continued to ask at this time.

"Dare you ask me, Buddha, if you have broken the precept of killing, will you become a demon?"

Wu Wen paused for a moment, and just when Fang Yu thought he was going to continue asking himself, he saw him lowering his head and saying "Amitabha" with a hint of relief in his tone, which made Fang Yu feel a little bit bad.

The next second, he saw Wu Wen directly put the palm of his hand to his forehead, and Fang Yu felt that all the strength in his body suddenly surged.

The posture of exerting force is very much like An Jin.

Then, the palm aimed at his forehead slapped his own forehead!

Damn it!

After Fang Yu secretly screamed, she immediately reached out and patted and twisted the elbow joints of his hands.

With the help of his master's experience in transforming energy, he successfully removed his energy before it hit his forehead.

The strength was removed, and the force that was originally enough to slap his brain into a lake of pulp turned into an ordinary high-five. He slapped his forehead with a slap, which made Wu Wen's already weak body fall back involuntarily and almost lay down.

Wu Wen cast a surprised look at Fang Yu, but his eyes were still filled with the will to die.

Although Fang Yu was very angry at Wu Wen's move, he also knew that if he didn't twist this stubborn guy back, he could save him once, but not the second time.

In the flash of lightning, Fang Yu suddenly thought of a film and television clip he had seen in modern times that seemed to be useful. Without time to think about it, he could only speak to Wu Wen.

"Why do you kill?"

Wu Wen was stunned.

Why kill?

Because we need to protect those people

Seeing that Wu Wen seemed to be thinking, Fang Yu immediately asked a second question.

"Why do you want to die?"

Why should I die?

Because I killed a living being

This sentence flashed through Wu Wen's mind.

"You killed to protect your life, but you died to end your sins!"

"Killing is to protect life! Killing karma is not killing people! The world is not prosperous, and the path of evil is getting longer. You need to use the blade of sin to kill all the people who follow the path of evil. If the hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha. You are the only one in the endless hell!"

Since good words are useless, Fang Yu can only take the wrong approach.

Wu Wen, whether you can become a Buddhist sword depends on whether your Buddhist heart is firm or not!

Damn, you drank two bottles of my elixir and now you want to cheat?

If you want to die, then I have to agree to it!
