Of course Marshal Tianpeng didn't know the details of Fa Hai. When he saw a monk coming out, he asked the Great Sage: "Is this elder our master?"
The Great Sage couldn't bear to look at him, lowered his head and said: "He is my master."
The implication is that he is not necessarily your master.
"Master, I have received guidance from the Bodhisattva, and I am waiting here to wait for Master." Zhu Gangxi came forward to pay homage, but before he could bend down, he saw that Fa Hai had already turned aside, and was not affected by his gesture.
A gift.
The Great Sage seemed to have known such a result for a long time, and there was no surprise. He looked at Zhu Gangxi, who was still in a daze, and quietly walked behind him. Although he had not yet made a move, he sealed his
retreat.
He stretched his muscles and bones, looked up to the sky, and said to himself: "I, Old Sun, are really in conflict with this heavenly figure. We won't offend you, but why do you want to run into my master's arms? I can't surrender.
Things like slaying demons... even traveling through the three realms are reasonable."
.....
The Great Sage once asked his master, "Master, my disciple can be regarded as a demon king who has killed countless people. Why is the master willing to accept his disciple as his disciple?"
At that time, Master asked: "Have you ever killed an innocent person without any reason?"
The Great Sage replied: "Everything happens for a reason. I don't dare to boast about anything else, but this iron rod has never hurt a kind person."
"The Buddha said: It is better to save one life than to build a seven-level pagoda. My teacher said: It is better to kill one evil person than to save a hundred people... What do you think?"
The Great Sage thought for a while: "The Buddha said that all sentient beings can be saved, and evil people are also one of them. Why doesn't Master save them?"
"Perhaps my practice as a teacher is lacking. I cannot be compassionate to all living beings like Guanyin Bodhisattva, nor can I view life as one thing like Tathagata Buddha. Therefore, I cannot see good people being deceived, and I cannot see evil people being free, so I cannot save evil people.
"
"Master, if my old grandson becomes a demon again one day and degenerates into that evil heretic..."
"With my master, I won't allow you to fall into the devil." When the master said this, Wukong could feel the "kind" look in his eyes. It seemed that before you fell into the devil, the master would first save you.
The kind that completely destroys the soul.
After hearing the Master's words, the Great Sage seemed to have a flash of inspiration: "Master, could it be that it is because you cannot be compassionate to all living beings in the three realms that you have cultivated to this level, but you have never achieved the Lingshan fruition status?"
"Hahaha." Fahai smiled and looked towards the west: "Perhaps when I go to Lingshan, I can ask him in front of the Buddha."
...
Killing is not a taboo for Master. As long as the killing is justified, he will even support it...for example, a robber who was beaten to death by his own stick.
But if it's cannibalism...don't care what the reason is, just bury it. Those who want to eat Tang Sheng's meat will be saved before they even open their mouths.
Even the Great Sage was too lazy to plead for mercy. In fact, he also felt that it was outrageous. You said that even if a dignified Marshal Tianpeng was knocked down from the mortal world and reborn as a pig, why did he have to degenerate into a monster?
Even if you are a monster, you can just hide in the mountains and practice on your own, but you still come out to eat people.
"Master, why don't you let me bow?" Zhu Gangxi was still surprised.
Fahai asked: "Please explain carefully how you live by eating people here."
Zhu Gangxi was stunned. He didn't know why the master asked him like this, but since the master asked him, he answered honestly: "I don't have any daily food. When I'm hungry, I just grab some passers-by to eat."
"
Fahai asked again: "Has it always been like this for more than five hundred years?"
"That's not the case." Zhu Gangxi shook his head. Just when the Great Sage was expecting the old pig to say something different, he heard him continue: "I haven't eaten anyone for three to five years..."
"Three to five years?" Fahai laughed, angry.
"Yes." Zhu Ganghe nodded and explained: "Master doesn't know that this place is called Fuling Mountain. There is a cave in the mountain called Yunzhan Cave. There used to be a second sister Egg in the cave. He saw that I had some martial arts skills and recruited me to do it.
My parent was also a "door-in-door" person. Less than a year later, she died and left all the property in the cave to me. The old pig ate a lot, and she ran out of food... and she lived here for a long time without anyone to support her.
His business is just to live by cannibalism."
Old Zhu was afraid that the elder would not believe it, so he made a point of mentioning it: "Bodhisattva knows all these things. She said that I broke the law in the upper realm, and now that I have not changed my evil intentions and hurt people, I will be punished for both crimes...and
Teach me, 'If people have good wishes, God will follow them.' If I am willing to take refuge in Zhengguo, there will be a place for me..."
"Could it be that what the Bodhisattva said is for you to join the disciples of the poor monk and go to the Western Heaven together?"
"It's the best, it's the best." The old pig nodded repeatedly: "I was worried that I had sinned against heaven and had nothing to pray for. The Bodhisattva said that she had received the Buddha's decree and went to the east to look for Buddhist scriptures. Let me follow suit.
I am a disciple, and I will go to the Western Heaven and come back, and I will correct my merits and punish my sins, and I will discipline and escape the disaster."
"Since it is the guidance of Bodhisattva, there is no need for you to go to the Western Heaven." Fahai had already raised his hand on his chest. Only the great sage knew that the master had touched the real fire this time.
Oh...the Bodhisattva in the sky also knew it, but she didn't know for a moment whether she should show up to meet him... Mainly because Zhu Gang said to the Bodhisattva one after another, which made the Bodhisattva himself doubtful.
Wrong person?
But listening to Sanzang's words, could there be some turning point?
Maybe he is also afraid of the pig demon's past life identity, and for my sake, he just doesn't want to accept this man-eating pig demon and go west together. He should be allowed to live...
"The poor monk has saved you now. You don't have to worry about it and you will be punished by God, but you can also escape from the disaster...isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
These words were naturally said by Fahai.
When the Bodhisattva heard the words, he could not lie to himself. He sighed in his heart and felt that this matter was difficult... If he were an ordinary elder without magic power, and he arranged for a man-eating demon to worship under his sect, there would be no serious problem, but now.
..I just hope that Wukong is a general person and can stop his master.
Unless absolutely necessary, the Bodhisattva is still unwilling to show up to meet him.
The old pig thought the elder was joking and was not alert at all, but suddenly he heard an explosion in his ears——
"Bold monster, I think your sins are so heinous that you deserve to be thrown into hell forever. Now you are using the bodhisattva's compassionate heart to pretend to be loyal to you with your sweet words to escape your life... You can deceive the bodhisattva with such trivial tricks, but you can't deceive the bodhisattva."
Poor monk." Fahai said coldly: "If I, poor monk, cannot save you today, how can the countless innocent souls who have died cruelly in your mouth over the past five hundred years ever see the light of day?"
"ah!"
When Zhu Gang saw the monk, he took action. The Buddha's light suddenly appeared in the night, like a red sun, and even the lunar star in the nine heavens was covered by its brilliance at this moment.
Bang!
The nine-ring tin staff is covered with a layer of golden light. The golden light is scorching and blazing. It is the nemesis of all demons, and it is under his command!
"Bodhisattva deceived me!"
Zhu Ganghe screamed in surprise, got up and backed away, barely dodging the Zen staff, and bang——
Ignoring the flying stones flying around, he rolled straight towards the place where he placed the rake. When he rolled, he glanced and saw that the nine-ringed tin rod had made holes, enough to bury three of him.
The mausoleum and the mountains were shaking - he didn't have time to think too much, he reached out to get the rake, only to see a stick coming towards him, and he hurriedly pulled his hand back...
When I looked closely, I saw that the plagued monkey had stepped on the rake.
