"We are monks, and we exist to save all sentient beings. How can we be trapped in this mortal world? How can we save all sentient beings?"
"What do you do to save others? Why do you want to interfere in other people's lives?" Although Wan Qing is a monster and has lived for many years, she has never been down the mountain, so she is curious about everything.
Xu Ni was speechless by Wan Qing's question, scratched his head, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Actually, I don't know, it was my master who told me this."
"Is your master that ferocious great monk?" Wan Qing thought for a moment.
Xu Ni nodded, then shook his head: "My master is not cruel, he is actually a very nice person."
The two walked down the mountain while chatting, and soon it was time to say goodbye. Wan Qing sent Xu Ni to the foot of the mountain and asked, "Where do you live? I'll come and play with you when I have time."
"No, you will die if you come. I will kill the demon with my own hands next time we meet." Xu Ni shook his head, ignored Wan Qing, turned around and walked away. After thinking about it, he turned around and said loudly: "I At Chang'an Temple in Chang'an City, if you come, just ask for Xu Ni."
After Xu Ni went back, he found that his master had come back a long time ago. When he saw him coming back, the master asked: "Where did you and the little goblin go?"
Xu Ni felt a little guilty and thought for a while before saying: "When my disciples saw her escaping, they chased after her and killed the demons to protect the right path."
The master nodded with satisfaction after listening to Xu Ni's words. Xu Ni is his most satisfied disciple. He has been taught since he was a child that monks do not tell lies, and he has never told lies, so he naturally has no doubts.
Xu Ni returned to his yard. The place where Xu Ni lived was an independent small building. After all, he was the future host.
After Xu Ni went back, he lay down and rested. He slept until midnight when he suddenly heard the sound of a woman crying. This is Chang'an Temple, how could there be a woman?
Xu Ni was surprised when he got up and saw that it was Wan Qing. At this time, Wan Qing was lying next to him in pain with tears on her face. Xu Ni asked: "Wan Qing, what's wrong with you?"
"Xuni, my father, mother, uncles and aunts, they, they are all dead!" Wan Qing said painfully.
"Dead, dead." Xu Ni was stunned. Wan Qing wiped her tears and said to Xu Ni with hatred in her eyes: "It was that vicious monk who did it. I want revenge."
"Leave quickly. If my master finds you, you will be dead." Xu Ni didn't know what to do. He helped Wan Qing up and wanted to let her out, but Wan Qing refused to leave.
Xu Ni saw that it was almost dawn, and if she let Wan Qing go out, they would definitely find her and beat her to death, so she could only hide Wan Qing in her bedroom.
As the days passed, Wan Qing slowly accepted the news that her parents were dead and she lived in Xu Ni's house.
Every day after Xu Ni finished his busy day, he would chat with Wan Qing in the middle of the night. Just like this, as the days passed, Xu Ni may not realize it, and Wan Qing may not realize it either. In fact, the feelings between the two of them have gradually become stronger. .
Five years passed in a blink of an eye. In these five years, Xu Ni grew up from a little monk and nun who didn't understand anything, and Wan Qing did the same. They both also understood a lot, such as their love for each other.
But Xuni never said that, and Xuni didn't know what to do in the future. In the end, the paper couldn't contain the fire.
On a very ordinary day, Xu Ni ran home with a bag of chicken and happily said to Wan Qing in the room: "Wan Qing, I brought you something to eat."
"Xuni, what food did you bring?" Suddenly, the master's voice came from the bedroom. Xuni was shocked and pushed the door open.
The master and eight junior brothers were actually in the house. The master said to Xu Ni with an angry face: "Xuni, do you know what you have done? Stay with a female goblin, you will become our Chang'an in the future. The director of the temple, do you know how much impact this will have if word spreads about it?"
"Master, Wan Qing is a good monster!" Xu Ni finally spoke. He was no longer the ignorant little monk five years ago. The master slapped the table and cursed: "What a monster? There can't be good monsters in this world." , she is confusing you, do you understand? As long as she confuses you, it will be equivalent to controlling Chang'an Temple in the future! Seven days later, the demon will be burned at the stake in Chang'an Street, and you will carry out the execution yourself. Don't let me down again, Xu Ni. "
After speaking, the master led a group of disciples and left Xu Ni's bedroom.
Seven days later.
"Have you heard? Xu Ni, the eldest disciple of Chang'an Temple, is personally exterminating demons on Chang'an Street today. Go and have a look. I heard that she is a beautiful female demon."
Chang'an Temple is an extremely famous temple in Chang'an, and it is already crowded with people at noon.
A high tower was built in the middle of Chang'an Street, with countless firewood set up on the ground. Wan Qing was tied to a wooden pillar on the platform, looking at the dense crowd below, her eyes a little confused, looking for something empty. Ni's figure.
Finally, the demon elimination ceremony began.
Wearing a golden cassock, Xu Ni walked out with the support of a group of monks.
"Today, after Xu Ni exterminated the demons here, he officially became the abbot of our Chang'an Temple and promoted our Buddhism..." Xu Ni looked expressionlessly at the master reciting a long sermon on the high platform. If he had been in the past, he would have remembered it carefully. But now, he couldn't hear a word.
"The demon elimination begins!" After the master finished speaking, he jumped down from the high platform.
A person next to him handed Xuni a torch and motioned for Xuni to go up and light the fire. Xuni walked over expressionlessly, but he did not go to the place where the fire was lit. Instead, he walked up to the high platform and untied Wan Qing. rope.
When the master saw Xu Ni's actions, he became furious and shouted: "Xuni, what are you doing?"
"Master, I want to return to secular life!" Xu Ni looked at the master expressionlessly, then looked at Wan Qing next to him, and said with firm eyes: "A true Buddha does not need to be promoted, and the world does not need to be purified. Monsters , it’s not all bad.”
The master was about to faint from anger, and several disciples nearby also shouted at Xu Ni: "What are you doing? What do you mean?"
"I mean, I want to get married to Wan Qing."
When Wan Qing heard this, she looked at Xu Ni next to her with surprise on her face. The master looked at Xu Ni and realized that all his years of hard work had come to naught, and shouted: "Burn them two to death! Die to me!"
"It's enough to kill me alone, no one is allowed to touch Wan Qing!" As soon as Xu Ni heard that he wanted to kill Wan Qing, he stood in front of Wan Qing. The master watched the disciple he had been training break with him for a monster, Looking at Xu Ni regretfully, he said, "What you did today ruined everything in the first half of your life."
Xu Ni chuckled and asked, "What did I have in the first half of my life?"
"Everything about me was arranged by you, master. I was raised by you, and I can do anything for you. But didn't master teach me from a young age that I should not lie as a monk? I like Wan Qing. This is a fact. Do you want me to lie? ?Wan Qing is a good monster, and I didn’t lie either."
"When I'm unhappy in the temple, I can't speak loudly. When I'm depressed, there's no one to complain to. When I'm happy, there's no one to share it with. Only Wanqing stays with me when I'm happy. When I'm depressed, I can go to her to complain. I like to talk to her. Together, what’s the problem?”
"Seven emotions and six desires are human nature. Why do you have to pretend to be a monk when you are a monk? Pretend your happiness, pretend your sadness, disguise yourself as a puppet with no emotions and six desires. You say you want to save the world, but you are not alive. If you understand what’s going on, why should you help others?”
"We say that we want to save others, but we should live more like ourselves, live more freely and freely."
"I'm so tired after so many years, Master."
Xu Ni said everything he thought in one breath.
After hearing what Xu Ni said, the master was stunned, shook his head, clasped his hands and said: "Amitabha, your understanding is indeed far beyond ordinary people. If you are willing, burn this witch to death and treat everything with this witch as one." Practice."
Xu Ni shook his head, looked at his master and said, "You still don't understand. You often say that the world is stupid, but you are the only one who is stupid. People in the world are very smart."
"It is said that everyone is equal, but Wang Er bumped into General Zhang's son and was sentenced to death. General Li's son had a conflict with others and killed the other party's whole family, but no one cared about it. This is what you call equality. ?"
"If you really want to save the world, the only way is to kill them. Kill these arrogant people who regard human life as nothing and treat human life lightly. This is the only way to save those suffering people and the only way to make this world fair and just. method."
Xu Ni held a torch and looked at the dense crowd below, and shouted: "In this case, then I will show you my method of saving people in the world, and I will prove it to you."
Only then did Xu Ni whisper to Wan Qing next to him: "Wan Qing, I'm sorry, I've caused trouble for you."
"It's me who has caused trouble for you." Wan Qing shook her head repeatedly, recalling the five years she spent with Xu Ni, and the scenes of getting up and chatting every night appeared in her mind one by one.
No, it was you who made me. "Xuni smiled softly, looked at the endless crowd and shouted: "Before! I am just like you, mediocre and have some small achievements. I think I have done earth-shattering things. If I don't step on an ant, I think I have saved all sentient beings. The me before and you now are worse than shit! "
"Wan Qing, I'm sorry, let's die together, and then witness how I can transcend all sentient beings!" After Xu Ni finished speaking, he threw the torch at his feet. The wood under his feet burned instantly, and the raging fire enveloped both of them. people.
Xu Ni and Wan Qing hugged each other quietly and died in the flames.
But Xu Ni's ambition to save all sentient beings before his death made him realize his enlightenment in the fire.
The flames extinguished slightly, and a skeleton as white as jade flew out of the flames with its legs crossed.
"No, Xu Ni has become a demon."
Xu Ni doesn't care what others say about becoming a Buddha or a demon. Today, he will use his own strength to prove to the world what a Buddha is and what a demon is.
Even though there were many eminent monks from Chang'an Temple present, Xu Ni's Buddhist practice during his lifetime was even inferior to that of his master. How could these eminent monks be so powerful as his opponents?
That night, corpses killed by Xuni lay everywhere on the ground, and blood flowed everywhere.
"Those who are unfilial to their parents and alienate others will be killed!"
"Those who bully others and stir up trouble will be killed!"
"If you serve as an official for one term, accept bribes and cause unjust deaths, kill them!"
"Those who live in Buddhism, talk about Buddhism in vain, and commit evil acts, kill them!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
But among the people he killed, none of them were innocent. They were all criminals who took human lives seriously. Every time he killed someone, he would tell the story of the sins committed by that person.
But among the ordinary people, not even a single person was injured.
Until facing the master, Xu Ni asked, "Do you regret what happened today?"
But the master said, "If I had known that you would be like this today, I should not have saved you that day."
Xu Ni stretched out his hand and penetrated the master's heart directly. "As a monk, I don't distinguish between good and evil, and have no mercy. Kill!"
