Lao Can feels that the so-called Buddhist scriptures are full of madness and evil spirits.
He felt that he had read it wrong, so he went to ask his teacher in the middle of the night.
Unexpectedly, Lao Can arrived at the meditation room and saw the Master's shadow through the window paper outside before entering.
The shadow held the bald head with both hands and kept shaking it, as if something was about to come out of the bald head.
"Da Mo!"
"Da Mo! Damo! Damo!"
Lao Can did not go in directly, but squatted under the window and listened all night. The monk looked like a madman and kept repeating the word "Da Mo".
The more Lao Can listened, the more frightened he became, and he felt that his head was beginning to hurt.
He didn't dare to knock on the door again and quietly returned to his room.
The second day, the third day...
Lao Can went to Master's Zen room to guard the outer door day after day. Every night, he saw the great monk Master, who was normal, kind and compassionate during the day, suppressing his screams and howling all night long.
All the sounds are Damo.
Finally, one day, the great monk came back from the outer gate, holding his bald head in his hands, hammering it up and down, and summoned all his disciples to come and listen to the lecture.
The great monk said that he had achieved Bodhi and would practice the Maharaja Sutra to the top today and ascend to the Buddha's kingdom.
The other disciples jumped away in joy, but Lao Zu was the only one who kept an eye on it. He pretended to have a stomachache and walked slowly over. After making a circle, he lurked outside the master's meditation room where he squatted and eavesdropped every day.
As he listened, Lao Can felt ashamed and felt that he had misunderstood Master.
In the Zen room, the great monk was as big as a bell. A strange fragrance filled the air, and he was actually preaching.
Just when Lao Can was about to come in and apologize, something unexpected happened.
All the young monks listening to the lecture, like the great monks every night, kept saying Damo.
Lao Can's hand slapping the door froze there.
The next second, screams, chewing, swallowing, tearing sounds came from the Zen room...
Pieces of blood sprayed on the window, staining the window paper red.
Lao Can was so frightened that he lost his mind and staggered away.
He ran out of the temple and looked back from a distance, only to see that the entire temple collapsed and a dark demon climbed out of it.
The demon is the size of dozens of people, and its head is made up of more than twenty bald heads, with the big monk in the center and the smaller monks surrounding it.
This monster devoured trees and soil along the way, rushed into the village, opened the roofs everywhere, pulled out the living people inside and ate them.
It is always shouting: "Da Mo."
Lao Can didn't dare to look anymore and ran far away. It wasn't until a long time later that he suddenly realized.
"It turns out it's not Damo."
"It's a big devil!"
"What Buddhist scripture, it makes people become demons."
A long, long time passed, and it was not until Lao Can wrote this account of Lao Can's quest for immortality that he learned that there was a Buddhist sect called Damo Temple in Zhongzhou.
Damo Temple enshrines a Buddha, which is called Damo.
In this generation of Damo Temple, a disciple who was originally a disciple of Buddhism defected and later became a demon.
This possessed Buddhist disciple also had a junior disciple who was originally ordinary and only knew how to eat fast and chant Buddha's name.
After learning that the Buddha swallowed living people and turned into demons, the junior brother came out of Damo Temple and followed the demon closely, constantly using Buddhist teachings to influence the demon.
Finally, the demon repented, transformed into a Buddha, and became one with his junior disciples, becoming the new generation of Buddhist disciples in Damo Temple, known as: "Two-faced Buddha!"
The old man laughed and cried.
"He was once a disciple of the great monk. He heard with his own ears that the great monk once wondered why his sect, before its prosperity, would always have its darkest moments, and there would always be hope for the sect, and future Buddhist disciples would fall.
Those who enter the demonic path, fortunately, every generation has real talents to influence or destroy the demons, but what's the problem with the sect's Maharaja Sutra?"
Because of this question, the great monk asked it in the sect, and was expelled from the sect without taking back his cultivation level.
