Finally, Chen Xuanzang left the small pavilion and walked out of the bamboo forest, but he didn't know how he left. His whole mind was confused. At this moment, his mind was filled with what Lin Tianqi had just said and his ideas.
He was greatly shocked by the distinction between Buddha and Demon, and the difference between black and white. He had always thought that these were all clearly distinguishable, but now, he began to be unclear.
Can all the evil in the world be cured, and should all the evil in the world be forgiven? If one can become a Buddha immediately by putting down the butcher's knife, then how innocent are the people who died under the butcher's knife? Who can avenge the grievances of these dead souls?
Can all living beings really be equal? Snakes eat rats, eagles eat snakes... These living beings are born in a food chain, so how can they be equal? You say killing is evil, but if they don't kill, how can they survive?
Chen Xuanzang was confused, especially after the personal experience, which made his previous ideas shaken, because nothing is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He has experienced the pain of the water monster, and was beaten to death by those villagers and thrown into the river.
, wild beasts drink his blood, fish eat his flesh, and his soul has to endure endless pain every day. He will never be reincarnated or reincarnated for eternity. This is such pain.
Not only was he a water demon, Chen Xuanzang felt that he had also transformed into a snake and a rat. When he transformed into a rat, he was entangled, strangled, and eaten alive by snakes. When he transformed into a snake, his body was sliced open by an eagle's claws. He had experienced all of these one by one.
.
Chen Xuanzang seemed to have lost his soul and was walking on the mountain road in a daze. At this moment, a butterfly flew in front of Chen Xuanzang's eyes.
Snapped--
The next moment, the butterfly hit a spider web among the branches on the roadside.
Plop, plop!
There was a violent flapping of wings, and the butterfly began to struggle violently on the net, but the more it struggled, the tighter it became.
At this time, a large and colorful spider also slowly appeared from the edge of the spider web. Step by step, as the stuck butterfly approached, the butterfly's struggle became more and more intense.
"Save me, save me!"
Chen Xuanzang's face changed slightly. Looking at this scene, he seemed to hear the butterfly begging him for help.
Chen Xuanzang instinctively took two steps forward and couldn't bear to save the butterfly. However, at this moment, Chen Xuanzang heard the sound of the spider and thought of it in his ears again.
"If you save it, what will I eat? If you save it, you will kill me."
Chen Xuanzang's steps suddenly froze again, and he suddenly woke up.
Yes, spiders originally rely on building webs to capture other insects for food. Saving the butterfly by yourself is equivalent to taking away the physical object of the spider. How can the spider survive without food? Learn from the Buddha and cut meat to feed the eagle and cut meat to feed the spider yourself?
In the past, Chen Xuanzang felt that this was an extremely noble spirit of self-sacrifice, but now, looking at it rationally, he felt that this approach was not very clever and could not change anything.
Even if I can save this butterfly by cutting meat and feeding it to spiders, there are so many butterflies in the world that have fallen into spider webs. If I can save this butterfly, how can I save thousands of butterflies? This is the whole world.
No one can change the most fundamental laws of heaven and earth, just like a snake eats a mouse or an eagle eats a snake. This is the law of nature and no one can change it.
The weak eat the strong, the fittest survive!
At this moment, Chen Xuanzang couldn't help but think of what Mr. Lin said before.
The steps stopped, and Chen Xuanzang's face and eyes struggled fiercely. This was a struggle with his own ideas.
On the spider web, the spider kept getting closer to the butterfly. Finally, when the spider completely crawled to the butterfly and bit it, the butterfly didn't move again. Chen Xuanzang didn't move either. There was only a complex look on his face and a trace of pain deep in his eyes.
Besides, there is a little bit of relief.
Chen Xuanzang didn't know what he was freeing from, but when he saw the butterfly being killed by the spider and not moving anymore, he felt that his tense heart was inexplicably relaxed, and he felt a sense of relief.
Finally, Chen Xuanzang stayed there for several hours, watching the spider eat the butterfly bit by bit before leaving.
On the other side, on a hilltop outside Gaojiazhuang, a group of women in red were hiding, quietly waiting for Chen Xuanzang's arrival to start the plot, but they had to wait for several days.
"Why haven't you come for so long? It's been several days. That person won't do anything to Chen Xuanzang, right?"
The tall man in black couldn't help but muttered.
"Probably not. Chen Xuanzang is the core mission in the plot of Journey to the West. There will definitely be no problems. If something goes wrong or someone wants to do something to him, that big slap in the sky will probably be the first
The time was taken."
The young man dressed in white immediately answered.
"What I'm more concerned about now is the identity of the person before."
At this time, a young Taoist dressed in Taoist robes answered.
"It would be fine if that person is from another team like us. If not, that's probably the most worrying thing."
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but look serious.
Indeed, for them at this time, if the identity of the young man in white is another reincarnation, it would be good news for them. On the contrary, if the young man in white is not a reincarnation, that is the most worrying thing, because according to the original
As for the plot, there is no young man in white in the plot of Conquering the Demon.
But it just happened that such a person who should not have appeared appeared. If it were other reincarnations, that would be fine, but if not, God knows who it would be, especially in the terrifying world of the Journey to the West series, it might be an unbelievable person.
Boss.
"Sure enough, none of the free tasks is easy. Everyone should be careful and wait for Chen Xuanzang to arrive to see Chen Xuanzang's situation."
Finally, the young man dressed as a swordsman with a sword on his back said.
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then became quiet again, waiting for Chen Xuanzang's arrival.
A few people know that now that the plot of the water demon is over, the next step is Gaojiazhuang.
at the same time,
Wuzhishan.
"Five hundred years, the mulberry fields have changed and the sea has changed, and even the stubborn rocks are covered with moss, covered with moss..."
"Five hundred years, the mulberry fields have changed and the sea has changed, and even the stubborn rocks are covered with moss, covered with moss..."
"Only one heart is not dead, yearning for freedom and freedom..."
On this day, above the peaceful Wuzhi Mountain, a long and leisurely singing sound came from the sky.
Lotus flowers covered the entrance of the cave, and a dirty figure that looked like a human but moved like a monkey also climbed up from the ground.
"Who, who!"
The figure suddenly got up from the ground, raised his head and looked at the entrance of the cave blocked by the lotus and shouted.
But there was no response, only the long singing voice kept coming from the sky.
"Five hundred years, the mulberry fields have changed and the sea has changed, and even the stubborn rocks are covered with moss, covered with moss..."
"Only one heart is not dead, yearning for freedom and freedom..."
The song is melodious, and the melody is not high, but very gentle. However, it is this gentle tone that sounds more like a long narration, which makes people listen more silently, especially the figure under the hole covered by lotus flowers.
The words "hundred years" made the body freeze in place for an instant.
"Even if it is burned by wildfires, even if it is covered with ice and snow, our ambitions will not change and our faith will not fade..."
"The years have been wasted, and my feelings are stirring. Why, why, there is such an arrangement, why why..."
Why?!
The figure under the hole covered by lotus flowers froze, as if his whole figure had been struck by lightning.
After five hundred years of vicissitudes of life, it has been suppressed here for five hundred years, never seeing the light of day and trapped in a cage forever.
I can't help but be reminded of my past thoughts...
Think back to the past and look at the present.
"Tathagata!!!"
Finally, the figure couldn't help but raise its head to the sky and let out a roar, a roar that shook the sky. The resentment in it made people's hearts tremble just listening to it.
"who is it?"
Immediately afterwards, the figure shouted again.
At this time, the melodious singing disappeared, and then a melodious voice came from the sky.
