Although the big demon spoke arrogant words, the cautious look in his eyebrows became more solemn.
Kong Sang, who appeared earlier, still looked like a sinister ghost.

But in the blink of an eye, he was like a Buddhist monk.
There was no contradiction in this sudden change, which made the big demon feel awe-inspiring.
Next to him, Huashan Yuan Tian Chong couldn't believe it. He also knew about the outstanding people in Kyushu. He even knew that because there were so many masters in Kyushu, the social structure of the past had been maintained.
But when I saw Kong Sang today, I still couldn't help but be shocked in my heart.
But Kong Sang said slowly: "This sword is called the Devil's Hammer, and it is a magic sword. If you want to control the magic sword, you must control the devil's heart and soul, which is you, with twenty-seven faces, thousands of hands and hundreds of feet.
"
"However, if the great demon is in a different place, if it is not voluntary, what kind of craftsman can seal you on his own and make you endure the pain of countless tempers to become the soul of this magic sword?"
"There is only one answer, and that is, from beginning to end, it is all of your own free will."
"Since it's voluntary, it must be because you want Buddha in your heart. But if you just want Buddha in your heart, why would you massacre those who try to master the Demon King's gavel?"
Kong Sang said slowly: "Great demon, if you want, talk to me about Buddhism!"
Kong Sang's words were sonorous and powerful, and the big demon fell silent immediately after hearing them.

He observed the young man in front of him with a trace of scrutiny. With just one glance, he could see where his heart was. This was by no means simple!
Thinking of this, the big demon saw the Vajra and Purple Gold Bowl in Kongsang's hand, and immediately said:
"Buddha said that compassion can save people, and he also said that there is no end to the sea of suffering and there is no end. So, let me first ask you to explain."
"Why did the Buddha explain how to save the world, but on the other hand he used the vajra to kill evil spirits?"
"Why do you always put the alms bowl in the palm of your hand when you are wearing fine clothes and fine food in the temple?"
"Isn't this kind of behavior a deception?"
Kong Sang's eyes were slightly closed, and he thought that this great demon indeed had the heart of a Buddha.
The first sentence, on the surface, is talking about the Subduing Demonic Pestle and the Purple Golden Bowl, but in fact it extends to the discriminating mind.
If you want to save the world, why do you need the Vajra Angry Eyebrow? Since you want to experience compassion, why do you discard the alms bowl as a decoration?
Kong Sang released his hands, and the purple golden bowl and the demon-conquering vajra suddenly floated in the air.

Immediately, Kong Sang pointed at the Zijin Bowl and asked, "What is this?"
"Purple Golden Bowl." The big demon replied.
"What is a bowl?" Kongsang asked again.
"It is recorded in the "Prince Ruiying Benqi Sutra" that the Buddha did not eat for seven days after he became enlightened. Two people offered food. From the future, the Buddha saw all the Buddhas holding food in alms bowls. With his mind moved, the Four Heavenly Kings came from the stone.
The Buddha obtained the alms bowl of nature, and the four parts of the Buddha used his divine power to merge into one, which is the predecessor of the alms bowl."
But Kong Sang slowly shook his head; "Wrong, a bowl is a bowl."
"If you use it to hold water, it is a water container. If you use it to cook, it is a rice bowl."
"If you fill it with flowers and clear water, beat it with a small hammer, and calm your mind with the sound of Buddha, this is a thing for cultivating your mind."
"If you use it to ward off demons, this is a magic weapon."
"So, the alms bowl is just the alms bowl. There is no need to think of its origin as so gorgeous and beautiful. This is a tool."
"Great demon, you regard the purple golden bowl as so sacred, and because the monks have never used the bowl to perform alms work, you think you have developed a different mind."
"You are obsessed. You are obsessed with performance and the form of Buddha."
The big demon was stunned, and just about to speak, he heard Kong Sang ask:
"Buddhist scriptures once said that if the alms bowl is damaged and it is repaired using the Five Decoration Method without leakage, then a new alms bowl cannot be used. Do you agree?"
The big demon was silent for a moment and then said:
"This is Buddhism, so I naturally agree with it."
"Wrong again." Kong Sang shook his head: "If there is a monk whose alms bowl is damaged, he does not use the five-fix method to repair it, but uses a new one. But he helps the poor every day and does good deeds every day, then he is a Buddha, and he has returned time.
Not a Buddha?”
"This..." The big demon was speechless for a moment.
Kong Sang chuckled lightly: "Why does Buddhism talk about the Five Decoration Method? It's actually because the alms bowl was broken into five pieces and the Buddha repaired it."
"But the reason why the Buddha is a Buddha is only because he cares about the world, not because he is repairing the alms bowl."
"So, the five-fix repair method is just an example, not the essence."
"The so-called essence is to look at the world with a heart that has no leakage. If you have no leakage in yourself, you can be without distinction."
"If one's own merits are not achieved, even if the alms bowl is repaired, it will be nothing more than an external object that is limited to the situation."
"Big demon, you are still stubborn. You are obsessed with the Buddha's scriptures, but you don't think about the Buddha's intentions. You are totally wrong."
Without waiting for the big demon to respond, Kong Sang pointed at the Vajra and the Demon-Conquering Pestle: "Big Demon, what is the Vajra and the Demon-Conquering Pestle?"
Seeing this, the great demon responded again: "Of course it is the power of Buddha and Bodhisattva to transform into the wrathful form."
But Kong Sang shook his head again: "Wrong, this is evil."
"Huh?" The big demon was stunned and asked subconsciously: "How can the Buddha do evil?"
"Then what is good?" Kongsang asked.
The big demon immediately explained: "It is good to bear the fire of karma, spare one's own life, and help others with compassion!"
Kong Sang nodded: "You must know the story about Buddha cutting meat to feed the eagle."
Kou Kou Wu Lu彡⑦④彡LU⑦五
"Of course I know. This is also an allusion describing the compassion of the Buddha."
Kong Sang said slowly: "In this story, the Buddha fed the eagle with his own meat. Although the eagle survived, if at this time, there were other animals that wanted to be fed in return, but the Buddha had no meat to feed them.
."
"So in the end, the eagle survived, but the other animals were starved and emaciated, and they were even eaten by the eagle."
"Then what the Buddha did was good or evil?"
"This..." The big demon trembled all over.
The questions Kongsang raised far exceeded his understanding of Buddhism.
At this moment, a feeling as if the three views were about to collapse came to my mind.
Kong Sang did not stop, but continued: "In my opinion, the relationship between good and evil is just like the positive and negative sides of human beings. Just like what this vajra represents, it is the evil thoughts of the Buddha."
"The greatest good may be noble, but it may also bring about the greatest evil."
"On the contrary, appropriate evil thoughts can be like a bright mirror, reminding yourself not to lose your original intention, so as to continue to do good."

"If it is the ultimate good, you cannot see evil. If you cannot see evil, how can you help people who are born evil to escape from the sea of suffering?"
"So, Buddhism also makes a lion's roar, which is even more wrathful."
"Because goodness has never been the only thing advocated by the Buddha. The paths of good and evil ultimately lead to the same destination."
The big demon was shocked, and he took a deep breath. There seemed to be a hint of understanding in his eyes.
But he did not stop, but asked: "If this is the case, how can we explain Buddhism's abandonment of the eight sufferings?"
Kong Sang smiled and said: "Great demon, have you ever experienced the eight sufferings?"
"Yes, birth, old age, sickness and death, separation of love, meeting of resentment and hatred, failure to seek, and the prosperity of the five aggregates!" replied the great demon.
"Yes, but you still long to go to the Buddha. If you had never experienced the eight sufferings, would you go to the Buddha?" Kongsang suddenly took a step forward.
At this moment, a phantom image of Buddha appeared behind him.
But looking at it faintly, the Buddha's half body began to change, like a wave, very vicious!

The big demon was left speechless by Kong Sang's question.
Yes, the reason why people go to Buddha is because they want to be liberated from the eight sufferings.
But if a person is born unable to taste the pain of the eight sufferings, how can he appreciate the beauty of worshiping the Buddha?
Kong Sang raised his hands flatly: "Ask me again, you have murderous intention and murderous nature, but you still want to find the Buddha, ask the Buddha, and go to the Buddha, right?"
The big demon nodded: "Yes, the reason why I was willing to become the soul of this demon sword was because I wanted to understand Buddhism. This was the promise that the craftsman made to me."
"Yes, you call yourself Twenty-Seven Faces, Thousand Arms and Hundred Legs. You imitate the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, but you kill the devil. How are you going to find the Buddha with such a rebellious act?"
As soon as these words came out, the big demon was stunned, and then his face showed anger.
Tian Chong, who was not far behind Kongsang, also suddenly became nervous.
The devil inside the devil's mallet is a big demon. If he really goes crazy, he will not be able to let him leave the ancestral hall regardless of the cost!
"If you commit massacre, you will not be able to find the Buddha. As the Buddhists say, putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot is nothing more than a reflection of the moon in the mirror!" the demon said angrily.
But Kong Sang smiled heartily: "Look, you have murderous intentions. This is the beginning of becoming a demon!"
"Putting down the butcher's knife does not mean that you should let go of your murderous intention, but that you will experience the pain caused by your murderous intention."
"The Buddha never asked you to give up your murderous intention, but asked you to give yourself a lock on how to control your murderous intention. If you can control it, this is the beginning of the search for Buddha!"
"You ask for Buddha, you seek Buddha, you are you, and Buddha is Buddha!"
"Buddha has no form at all. How can you think that the soulless golden body in the temple is a Buddha? Or is it those ferocious-looking Ming Kings?"
"Wrong! Big mistake!"
"The Buddha has no form, and the Dharma lies within oneself. If you compare yourself with the good and evil deeds of others, you are clinging to the Buddha and the Dharma."
"However, Buddhism allows you to let go of your attachments, greed, anger and ignorance."
"Great demon, with one step of murderous nature, you become the twenty-seven-faced, thousand-armed, hundred-legged person. With one step of Buddha-nature, you become the Thousand-Armed, Thousand-Eyed Avalokitesvara."
"This has nothing to do with whether you are a big demon or not!"

"This has nothing to do with whether you are the soul of the demon sword or not!"
"You are who you are, you have no identity, and your name has nothing to do with you."
"As the saying goes, under enlightenment, one thought can lead to heaven and hell!"
"Just like me in front of you, am I a Buddha or a devil?"
The demon looked at the half-Buddha and half-demon figure behind Kongsang, and the hostility in his body began to gradually disappear.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I... don't know."
"Buddha once said that all living beings can become Buddhas. Behind me, there is Buddha and Demon Boxun, and he is also Sakyamuni. There is no difference!"
"You turned into the soul of a demon sword and wanted to seek the true Buddha as soon as possible through asceticism and pain. After the users come, they cannot be pure and selfless in their nature, so they cannot impress you, so you want to kill them."
"With this cycle, neither you nor the person wielding the sword can transcend bliss."
Saying that, Kong Sang slowly walked up to the big demon: "At this moment, you are you. If you want to be a demon, you are a demon. If you want to be a Buddha, you are a Buddha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood-stained wooden body of the great demon began to splinter.
In an instant, two figures appeared behind Xi Ye in Huashan Courtyard. One was the pure Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Avalokitesvara, and the other was the ferocious Thousand-legged Centipede!
Huashanyuan Xiye's injuries also began to heal gradually.
At this moment, he regained his clarity and looked at Kong Sang in front of him with some confusion.
"Master Kongsang, why are you here?"
Kong Sang looked at the big demon behind him. At this time, he was still in the form of Avalokitesvara with Thousand Arms and Thousand Eyes, but when he looked closely, he saw that he was no longer a wooden sculpture, but a body of flesh and blood.
His face finally had a hint of aura that didn't belong to wood carving.
"Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment! May I ask the master's name?"
Kong Sang put his hands together: "My name is Kong Sang, also known as Fa Hai."
Twenty-seven faces, thousands of hands and hundreds of feet, suddenly said: "Master, please let me follow you and let me practice the law!"

But Kong Sang smiled: "Your Dharma is in your heart, you don't have to follow me."
"However... the situation in the island country is indeed strange now."
"Well, now you have an epiphany. Although you have escaped from the demon sword called Demon King Xiaochui, you can temporarily attach to the blade to help Xiye and help him understand the true name of this sword."
"You can also see how real sentient beings in this mortal world practice the Dharma!"
