"It's a pity that everyone has their own positions, and I can't force you to be as open-minded as you want. But in the future, you have to think twice before making the same mistake as them. They have already paid for their sins with blood.
But you don’t need to think about it anymore.”
Ruyi took a deep breath and bowed to the monk: "Master's words made Ruyi understand a lot. Thank you very much."
"There is no need to be so polite. The poor monk's name is Shi Xin. He is the first disciple of Master Yiku, the current head of Shaolin Temple." The monk said.
"Why did Master Shi Xin come to Jimo City? Shaolin Temple is not close to Jimo. Are you just passing by on business?" Ruyi asked.
"No." Shi Xin said, "Master sent me to check on the situation in Jimo City. A month ago, several refugees fainted at the gate of Shaolin. After they were rescued, they asked each other and found out that they were from Jimo.
People say that there is a strange disease in Jimo, and people who are sick die in strange ways. It is suspected that it is caused by monsters. I am here to find out the news. If it is a powerful monster, I will report it back to Shaolin as soon as possible."
"Girl, why are you here?"
Ruyi told him about the falling demon star.
After hearing this, Shi Xin frowned and said, "I really don't know what it is that has such great power."
"Why is the master lurking here?"
"I heard from the people in the city that corpses were piled up in Yizhuang, so I wanted to take a look. But before I got close, I saw a large number of crows wandering over Yizhuang. With my eyesight, these crows were different from ordinary crows, and I was worried about them.
It was already a monster, so I made a piece of linen cloth, wrapped it in turf to hide myself, and hid under a big tree to observe them carefully."
He picked up a crow from the ground, brought it to Ruyi and said, "You just want to take a look."
This crow is completely black, just like an ordinary crow, but its eyes are not completely black, but extremely red.
Shi Xin opened its mouth again and saw that the long beak was full of fangs, which was extremely unusual.
"What's going on? Why are these crows..."
Shi Xin threw the crow away, clapped his hands and said, "I guess these mutations are caused by them eating the infected corpses. This strange disease can make people die laughing, but it may have different effects on other species.
.”
Ruyi asked cautiously: "Master, I heard that monks are compassionate and never kill. You just killed countless crows with one blow... won't you blame me when you go back?"
Shi Xin smiled slightly and said: "Miss Ruyi is too worried. Buddhism is also divided into Mahayana and Hinayana. Hinayana Buddhism emphasizes starting from oneself and not killing. However, Mahayana Buddhism requires caring about the world and having the heart to help the world. Since it is to help the world, it must be weighed.
, it is difficult to never kill. Of course, you cannot kill indiscriminately. These crows have become alienated by pecking at carrion. They are no longer what they used to be. They are bloodthirsty and ferocious. They should not exist in the world. I just put them
I just want to send them bliss and free them from this life."
Ruyi didn't quite understand these profound words, but he still nodded and said, "I see."
The two stepped on the crow carcass on the ground and entered Yizhuang with their mouths and noses covered.
The further inside, the stronger the stench became, making Ruyi choke and cough repeatedly, but Shixin beside him breathed evenly and remained calm.
She couldn't help but wonder and asked: "Master, don't you smell this stench? Why are you so calm?"
Shi Xin smiled and said nothing, pointed to his heart and said: "Birth, old age, illness and death are all fate. After death, a person becomes a rotting corpse. The rotting corpse rots in the soil and returns to nature. Don't think that these smells are the stench of corpses.
, as long as you think it is a form of nature, it will not be so difficult to accept."
