The next moment, Zhao Tianming and the dean appeared in the void. Looking down, I saw the mountains below were towering. On each peak, there was a huge temple with many monks wearing golden cassocks inside.
At the foot of the mountain, there are endless fields, where countless ordinary people, dressed in ragged clothes, are working hard.
"Is this the Buddhist world?" Zhao Tianming was shocked. The dean nodded: "Exactly."
"This is completely different from what I imagined." Zhao Tianming sighed.
"In your imagination, everyone in the world is living well?"
"Yes, but it seems that they are having a hard time." Zhao Tianming said. The dean said: "Come with me to have a look." The two of them landed in front of a temple.
It's strange that there are countless monks walking around in front of them, but it seems like they can't see two of them at all. Zhao Tianming was a little curious.
"They can't see us," the dean explained. At this time, a group of farmers walked into the temple carrying poles, carrying grain.
After these people came in, they first knelt down and worshiped a group of monks. But these monks were high up, looking down at the believers in front of them.
Start paying for food. The scene was very harsh. An old farmer said tremblingly: "This year's locusts are infested and the harvest is not good. Please forgive me, masters..." There was no forgiveness.
Snapped! A whip fell on the old farmer. The old farmer quickly knelt down and kowtowed, not daring to dodge. Standing next to him was his son, who was over two meters tall but very thin. He did not protect his father, but knelt aside with a pious look on his face, bearing the burden. With flogging.
It was not only the old farmer who was beaten, but also other people. One of the young women, who was also very thin and held a child in her arms who was waiting for feeding, was also whipped.
Zhao Tianming immediately stepped forward. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the dean.
"Do you want to save them?" the dean asked. Zhao Tianming raised his eyebrows: "Are we going to die and not save them? These monks simply eat people without spitting out their bones. Are they still human? Isn't there no bottom line in being a human being? Doesn't Buddhism pay attention to kindness?" The dean took Zhao Tianming and disappeared.
The next moment, they appeared in an earthen city. People here are still very poor. Ahead, a group of monks galloped towards them, knocking several passers-by away.
The passers-by moved away one after another, not daring to complain at all. They all knelt on the ground and lowered their heads. Their expressions were very pious, or they were confused and numb.
Even though several people were trampled to death by fast horses, family members did not dare to step forward. The monk rode away. Someone moved the body away, but still not a single complaint was heard.
Next, the dean took Zhao Tianming to many places and visited most of the Buddhist world. Zhao Tianming slowly became numb.
He saw too many scenes that he didn't want to see. To sum up, here, monks are like heaven, while ordinary people are as humble as slaves.
Countless monks receive support from believers, but they do not regard believers as human beings. They are aloof and regard human lives as grass.
But what left Zhao Tianming speechless the most was that the believers here were willing to be enslaved. Returning to the void, the dean asked: "Do you see clearly? This is the Buddhist world." Zhao Tianming was a little dissatisfied.
"Dean, these monks are so vicious, why don't you stop them? If you are willing, this situation will not happen."
"I don't want to," the dean replied. ah?
"Why?" Zhao Tianming frowned. The dean replied: "Have you forgotten? I am just a spirit in this world. In my heart, I shouldn't have too many emotions."
"I don't agree with this reason." Zhao Tianming said solemnly.
"This world has a bright side and a dark side. This is complete. Once, I also thought about helping them. I killed all the monks, but I was soft-hearted and let one person go. Guess What's the final result?" the dean sighed.
Zhao Tianming thought for a while and said: "Then it became like this, and then you were not in the mood to care about them anymore? You are wrong." The dean shook his head and said: "It seems that you are still not too I have to understand that poor people must be hateful and they are willing to do this. It is useless to save people. Even if I kill all the monks, as time goes by, new monks will appear, because I cannot kill all the monks. I can erase all traces of the appearance of the monks. Even if I can, if others have Buddha in their hearts, everything will come back to life. Besides, there are monks, which is normal. Their hearts are dead, and it is useless to save them."
"Then save their hearts." Zhao Tianming said excitedly. The dean smiled and said: "Maybe your method works, but that's not what I should do. Your friend has already done it."
"My friend?" Zhao Tianming was a little confused.
"Isn't Wu Jing your friend?"
"She?" Zhao Tianming's eyes widened and he could hardly believe his ears: "I'm a little confused."
"Back then, she led a group of serfs to rebel and killed many monks. Of course, many serfs also died. The final result was that the Buddhist world contacted the masters in the world and began to hunt her down, so she became a Rakshasa Queen, finally reincarnated." Khan... Zhao Tianming was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
It turned out that the holy monk had been lying. The blood demon is not a murderous demon at all, nor is it a Rakshasa queen, but a hero who saves all people from fire and water, Guanyin Bodhisattva!
Lies, all lies! After a while, Zhao Tianming asked: "Dean, you didn't lie to me?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
"Now that the blood demon has become the true disciple of the holy monk and has also cultivated Buddhism, isn't it very dangerous?" Zhao Tianming was a little worried.
The dean smiled and said: "It's useless. They want to fundamentally seal her memory. That's a joke. The way of cause and effect is something they can't see through. The cause of the past life will lead to the effect of this life. Sooner or later, your friend The memory will be awakened, and when the time comes, I believe she will do that again." Zhao Tianming frowned: "But what if they harm the blood demon before she recovers her memory?"
"If she is so easy to kill, she would have died that year. It would not be easy to kill her. Do you think I am just a decoration?" the dean said calmly.
Zhao Tianming understood immediately.
"So, Dean, you have been protecting her?"
"Thank you, Dean." Zhao Tianming said sincerely.
"I didn't protect her because she had completed her self-salvation. The cause of her previous life resulted in the consequences of this life. As I said, she can't die. But that monk is still quite capable. He actually thought of letting her practice Buddhism. Now It caused some trouble for her, but it still failed to fundamentally solve the problem, so she will rebel in the future." The dean said with a smile.
Zhao Tianming also smiled.
"I support her. She did a great job. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely help her and kill all these monks." Khan... The dean was speechless.
"You're still wrong."
"Ah? Am I wrong again?" Zhao Tianming was puzzled. The dean said: "Killing them all, will it be useful?"
"What should we do?"
"Think for yourself." The dean then asked, "Have you gained anything this time?" Zhao Tianming said with shame, "I was just so angry that I forgot about cultivation. I didn't have time to understand and reflect."
"Then just think about it slowly here. Now that you've figured it out, I'll take you to a particularly interesting place. You will definitely be very interested." The dean smiled, then turned around and disappeared.
Zhao Tianming had no choice but to sit down obediently and continue to comprehend.
