Chapter 3 The Supreme Treasure: The True Sutra of Great Sun Tathagata
"You mean man-made?" Chen Xuanzang asked with a solemn expression.
"Nine times out of ten." Qin Yao nodded slightly.
"Please ask the gods to help us find the real culprit." Suddenly, a gray-haired fisherman knelt down on the ground, raised his hands high, and slowly landed.
Then, other fishermen fell to their knees and shouted in unison: "Please help us find the real murderer."
Almost all the fishermen in this small fishing village depend on the sea for their livelihood. If the murderous water ghost is not dealt with, who will dare to go to sea in the future?
"Help you..." Qin Yao narrowed his eyes and asked seriously: "Why?"
All the fishermen were stunned.
Isn’t it right for gods to save people in need?
Why are you still asking why?
"Young Master." Xuanzang's face paused slightly and he spoke subconsciously.
Qin Yao waved his hand at him and interrupted: "Don't say anything, I will explain to you later."
As he said that, he turned to look at the other fishermen and said solemnly: "I take care of the monster affairs, because I am a human Taoist priest and will not sit back and let monsters harm innocent people. Human life lawsuits should be left to the human government.
, I cannot overstep my authority."
"The yamen are very good at collecting taxes, but when it comes to actual work, they are really slow. If you expect them to come and investigate, they won't be able to find the murderer." A fisherman sighed.
"Yeah yeah."
Among the crowd, a middle-aged woman with sallow and dark skin wearing a floral apron and holding a shovel in her hand nodded repeatedly: "So I can only ask the gods to help me."
Qin Yao continued to wave his hand: "It's useless to ask for help. If I say I can't help, I really can't help."
Fishermen: "..."
"Xuan Zang, let's go." Qin Yao turned around and said.
Chen Xuanzang hesitated for a moment, then finally jogged to keep up with him, and disappeared into the fishing village under the complicated gazes of the fishermen on the pier.
"Master Kong Kong, do you have something to hide?" Chen Xuanzang asked in a low voice after silently following Qin Yao into the wooden house.
Qin Yao took off the space bag from his waist, summoned the Five Elements Luogeng, and cast a spell to release the fish demon imprisoned in it.
"Bang."
The fish demon fell to the ground and instantly transformed into a young man with long hair reaching his shoulders and a gloomy face. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a hooked nose, and he was actually somewhat handsome, but the fact that he was naked at the moment was a bit unsightly.
Xuanzang scratched his scalp and asked tentatively: "Is it related to him?"
"Fish Demon, come and tell him why you want to cause trouble here." Qin Yao said quietly.
The fair-skinned fish demon sat up from the ground, raised his eyes to look at Chen Xuanzang, and spoke slowly: "When I was a human, I was frail and sick since I was a child. My parents took me to many medical clinics for treatment, but it never worked.
Later, we met an expert who told me that I need to do more good deeds to stay healthy.
So I left my hometown and started doing good deeds everywhere. When I came to this small fishing village, I saw a child falling into the water, so I rescued him desperately. Unexpectedly, I was treated as a kidnapper by the fishermen in the village, who beat me to death without explanation and threw me into the river.
.
My body was torn to pieces by fish and sea monsters and swallowed into my belly. Fortunately, my soul was immortal and possessed me in a trance like a strange fish, and I became a fish monster ever since.
Most of the fishermen in this village have a murderous grudge against me. I am here to take revenge, not to cause trouble."
Chen Xuanzang: "..."
He didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns.
"Almost all of the fishermen who were killed were guilty of killing."
Qin Yao said: "I am a human being, so I cannot sit back and watch the fish monster kill indiscriminately and destroy families. But this does not mean that I will be kidnapped by the morals of those fishermen and become their patron saint."
Chen Xuanzang was silent for a long time and sighed: "The cause and effect is really complicated."
Qin Yao: "Does Xuanzang have a way to solve this problem of cause and effect?"
Chen Xuanzang: "..."
He has a way.
But it's hard to say it out loud.
Qin Yao waited quietly, not casually changing the topic, nor hurriedly urging him to answer.
"As the saying goes, every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its own owner. If he succeeds in revenge, the cause and effect will naturally be solved." After a while, Chen Xuanzang lowered his eyes and said.
"Thank you sir for your advice." The fish demon kowtowed to Xuanzang, turned around and walked out.
"Wait a minute." Xuanzang grabbed his wrist and said, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Didn't Sir ask me to take revenge?" the fish demon said.
"Yes, but you can only kill the first culprit. To put it more bluntly, you can only kill one person." Xuanzang said.
The fish demon frowned: "But I wasn't beaten to death by myself."
"Those who beat you to death may have been coerced. There is only one person who truly owes you a life debt," Xuanzang said.
The fish demon recalled the original scene and nodded heavily: "Okay, then I will only kill that one. Sir, you can let go."
Xuanzang was suddenly confused. He held the fish demon's arm and turned to look at Qin Yao: "Master Kong Kong, am I inciting him to commit murder?"
Qin Yao shook his head: "No, you are helping him unravel the cause and effect, remove hatred, and rediscover the truth, goodness and beauty in his heart."
Xuanzang: "..."
He felt something was wrong.
But I can't tell what's wrong.
The fish demon forcibly broke free from Xuanzang's imprisonment, bowed deeply to Qin Yao, and then strode out.
Looking at his bare back, Xuanzang, whose head seemed to have turned into a ball of paste, suddenly regained his clarity. He suddenly turned around and faced Qin Yao: "No, no, you just said that you are a human being and cannot
Just sit back and watch the fish monster kill people."
Qin Yao said: "What I said is that you can't sit back and watch the fish demon kill people indiscriminately. It's not that you can't sit back and watch the fish demon kill people. At that time, on the coast, if I didn't take action, it would go on a killing spree and destroy every family. Now he listens
I decided to kill only one person after your persuasion, so what reason do I have to stop him?"
Xuanzang: "..."
"Don't worry about this matter." Qin Yao suddenly waved his hand and asked: "By the way, are you also an exorcist?"
"Of course." Xuanzang tried his best to straighten his chest and said sternly: "The poor monk is an upright Buddhist exorcist."
Qin Yao said in surprise: "With all due respect, it seems that there is no spiritual energy in your body..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xuanzang was a little discouraged, but he still managed to hold on and said: "This is because the way of practice of our master is quite special."
"What's so special about it?" Qin Yao asked.
Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said: "The teachings of my religion are to use great love to awaken the truth, goodness and beauty deep in the hearts of evil spirits, so that they can correct their evil ways."
"Great love?" Qin Yao said blankly: "I don't quite understand how to have great love. Take the fish demon as an example. When he is committing murder, you can't stop him and say I love you loudly, right?"
Xuanzang's cheek twitched and he waved his hands quickly: "Of course not."
As he spoke, he took out an ancient book with a big fat doll on the cover from his arms: "I rely on this secret book to exorcise demons."
Qin Yao's heart skipped a beat when he saw the big fat doll with a cheerful smile on the ancient book.
In Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, what is the most precious thing and the easiest thing to get by an outsider?
There is no doubt that it is the three hundred children's songs that Xuanzang currently holds in his hands.
If the name "Three Hundred Children's Songs" is a bit nonsense and has nothing to do with the Immortal Sutra, then what about the name of the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra?
Three hundred children's songs are just the surface. Hidden inside those ridiculous songs are peerless magical powers that can enable a mortal to subdue the king of demons.
Of course, according to normal logic, when Xuanzang subdued Sun Wukong, Buddha must have been hiding behind the scenes.
Otherwise, based on the strength shown by Chen Xuanzang at the end of the original work, the three apprentices are basically a burden, and the monsters on the journey to the west are not enough for him to fight alone.
"Can I see this secret book?" Qin Yao asked calmly.
"Can."
Xuanzang generously handed over three hundred children's songs to him and said: "It's a pity that my understanding is too low. Apart from singing, I have not found any other way of practice so far, so I can't give you any advice."
"It doesn't matter." Qin Yao reached out and took the three hundred children's songs, and said with a smile: "I didn't think about getting anything from the songs here, I'm just curious."
Xuanzang nodded to express his understanding.
[The system has detected the Buddhist scripture "The Great Sun Tathagata Sutra". The sutra has special inclusion value. Do you want to include it? 】
When Qin Yao copied all the contents of three hundred children's songs into the sea of consciousness, a line of system light symbols suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
"What is the compensation for the inclusion that allows me to instantly understand the supreme realm of this sutra?"
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the compensation reward when the system previously included the Angry-Eye Arhat Palm and the Yin-Yang Alchemy Sutra, and asked quickly.
[Compensation for inclusion is decoding the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra.] The system gives a response.
"That's it?" Qin Yao was speechless.
You must know that the compensation included in the Angry-Eye Arhat Palm and the Yin-Yang Alchemy Sutra are both great works of the sutra. In contrast, the compensation included in the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra is too cheating.
[What you copied are three hundred children's songs. Without systematic decoding, even if you study for a hundred or a thousand years, you still won't be able to study the true Sutra of the Great Sun Tathagata from these three hundred children's songs.
This is also the main reason why Tripitaka’s master was willing to hand over the secret book to him and even let him carry it with him without forbidding him from letting outsiders see it.
In reality, in addition to systematic decoding, only the Buddha himself can consecrate these children's songs into true scriptures.] The system immediately gave an explanation.
Qin Yao thought thoughtfully: "In other words, the value of inclusion is equal to the value of decoding?"
[Yes... The Great Sun Tathagata Sutra points directly to the peak of Daluo in its depths, so it is impossible for the system to directly initiate you to the level of Dzogchen, unless your current cultivation level is the peak level of Daluo, that is, the legendary Daluo Golden Immortal
.]
Qin Yao understood now and said secretly: "Collect it."
【Collection starts...】
【Collection completed.】
[System decoding...]
【Decoding completed.】
As the lines of characters continued to flash before his eyes, the three hundred characters of the children's song in Qin Yao's sea of consciousness were quickly scrambled and reorganized, and finally turned into a fairy scripture that intermittently shone with a faint golden light.
It can be described as radiant.
"The Great Sun Tathagata Sutra."
Qin Yao murmured in his heart.
This is the highest-level immortal scripture he has come into contact with since he began to practice Taoism.
Even his Da Dong Zhen Sutra is slightly inferior, let alone magical powers such as the Arhat's Golden Body and the Ajna Dharma Eye. There is no comparison at all.
"call……"
After a long time, Qin Yao came back to his senses and realized that now was not the time to practice this sutra. His consciousness quickly returned to reality and he exhaled a long breath: "It's so profound and profound."
Xuanzang was surprised and said: "Do you understand?"
Qin Yao shook his head: "No, that's why I said, broad and profound."
Xuanzang: "..."
Let’s just say, is it possible that this is an ordinary children’s song?
Over the years of traveling around the world, he has actually had doubts about this more than once.
Qin Yao handed the three hundred children's songs back to Xuanzang and said, "It may be that I have no chance. I cannot understand the secrets of this sutra. Master, please keep it."
Xuanzang took the ancient book, stuffed it into his chest, and turned to look outside the door: "It's been so long, why hasn't the fish demon come back yet? Could it be that something went wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the naked fish demon rushed in, shouting loudly: "Immortal, help me."
"Whoosh~"
Before Xuanzang could figure out what was going on, the fish demon rushed in front of them.
"Immortal chief, what immortal chief?"
The next moment, a rather heroic-looking woman with long hair and a long black coat jumped into the wooden house and glanced at the three men in the room.
"Miss, who are you?" Seeing that Master Kong Kong had no intention of speaking, Xuanzang asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, why do you want to protect this monster?" The woman in black pointed at the fish monster and asked loudly.
Xuanzang looked at the fish demon and asked, "Have you succeeded in your revenge?"
The fish demon shook his head: "No, just when I was about to eat the culprit, this woman jumped out. If I hadn't run so fast, she would have captured me by now."
Hearing that he didn't really eat the culprit, Xuanzang couldn't tell whether he was regretful or relieved, and was speechless for a moment.
"Oh...I understand." The woman in black said, "It turns out you instigated him to kill someone."
Xuanzang: "Miss, please listen to my explanation."
"No matter what the reason is, killing a monster is the original sin. I see how you can spin this matter into a fairy tale." said the woman in black.
"Duan Xiaoxiao." Qin Yao suddenly spoke.
The woman in black was stunned and said in surprise: "How do you know my real name?"
When she travels around the world, she usually uses the name of Village Master Duan, and outsiders are commonly known as Miss Duan. As for her real name, except for a few close people, outsiders have no way of knowing it.
"Sit down and listen to what Xuanzang has to say first." Qin Yao said quietly.
Duan Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, put away some of his frivolity, and sat on a chair nearby.
Xuanzang then told the story of the cause and effect, and finally asked: "Miss Duan, how do you think this mess of cause and effect should be solved?"
Duan Xiaoxiao was silent for a long time and said softly: "How do I know whether what you said is true?"
Qin Yao said: "If you don't believe it, bring the culprit over and confront the fish demon."
Duan Xiaoxiao hesitated.
Qin Yao sighed: "So, you have always cared about race, not right or wrong, is that right?"
"No!" Duan Xiaoxiao suddenly raised his head and clenched his fists: "I will bring that man here and let them confront him. If it is true as the beggar said, this man really deserves to die."
beggar?
Xuanzang was stunned, where could anyone beg for food here?!
