After the little pig demon left, the Great Sage felt the gaze of his master.
"Master. Hehe." The Great Sage scratched his head and said, "This little pig demon..."
Fahai would naturally not blame Wukong for this, and it was his wish to save all sentient beings. In the past, he had tried to persuade the little monsters in the Monster Mountain and Monster Cave to do good. However, this little pig monster was slightly different.
Compared to those ignorant little monsters who simply lived in this world, this little pig monster began to develop an understanding of himself and a positive vision for the future.
Moreover, this little pig demon is quite enlightened. If he gets the guidance of a famous teacher, he will definitely achieve something in the future.
"First let me see what happened in the past few days." Fahai knew that Wukong and Xiao Bailong would keep the scene.
"Yes." The great sage did not write any ink and just cast the spell, "Master, please take a look."
In front of Fahai and the Great Sage, a curtain of light appeared, which was exactly what the little pig demon had seen in the past few days.
Patrol the mountains, hold meetings, make arrows, clean pots, steal cauldrons, cut firewood, grab firewood, and steal firewood.
After reading it, Fahai fell into deep thought.
"Is the monster at fault?"
Fahai looked at Wukong beside him. The answer to this question was already in Fahai's heart.
The Great Sage was also very convinced of the answer to this question, without any hesitation, "Master, there is nothing wrong with monsters. What is wrong is the evil thoughts in their hearts. Whether they are monsters or people, if they have evil in their hearts and do evil in their hands without repentance, This is wrong."
"Amitabha." Fahai was quite satisfied with Wukong's answer. He was no longer the same as when he was released from the Five Elements Mountain.
This change is not to forcefully restrict his behavior and thoughts with a tight curse, but to subtly allow Wukong himself to understand the truth.
Therefore, Fahai asked Wukong another question: "What you said wrongly was the evil thoughts in your heart. I ask you where the evil thoughts come from?"
The Great Sage thought for a moment before slowly speaking: "Although I have some thoughts in my mind, I can't express them at the moment."
Fahai smiled, "There are two concepts among human beings. One is the 'nature is inherently good' proposed by Mencius, and the change between good and evil is due to the influence of the surrounding environment and one's growth experience. That's it. Just like the monster in Langlang Mountain, he was born in a world of monsters waiting for the weak to prey on the strong. Is it possible that the pig monster can maintain a kind heart because he has not been dragged into the abyss by evil? If it is not us they are ambushing this time, we will also Having never been to Langlang Mountain, he finally got some human flesh from Wukong, what do you think everything will be like?"
The Great Sage was speechless, because he thought of the monsters in Jilei Mountain. The little pig demon had better luck. He was born in Langlang Mountain and had a mother who cared about him. If he had been born in Jilei Mountain, he would have had no chance to do good.
The Great Sage also thought about himself, what would it be like if he was not born in Huaguo Mountain, but in Beiju Luzhou?
In this way, could it be that Master is able to possess such Buddhist teachings because he grew up in Buddhism since childhood?
The great sage's smile grew brighter.
But before he could express his thoughts, he heard the master continue: "And the other one is the 'nature is inherently evil' proposed by Xunzi."
With just these three words, the great sage was naturally unable to figure out the key. Just when he was about to ask the master for advice, he heard the master say: "Xing is the essence of heaven; emotion is the quality of nature. Xunzi said The "evil" mentioned is actually the "desire" in the nature of living beings, such as food and sex, joy and anger, likes and dislikes, and desires for profit. People must learn to be good, be kind, and self-denial through their own cultivation. You think how?"
The great sage remained silent and only said two short sentences, which benefited the great sage a lot.
Seeing that the great sage had listened, Fahai asked him another question, "If 'nature is inherently evil' is true, and the living environment is such a disorderly world of monsters, what will be the final result?" ?”
At a certain moment, the Great Sage seemed to have caught the fleeting light and looked at the Master: "Master, what should we do?"
Fahai replied: "It is better to cross the three realms than to cross all sentient beings."
If the three realms are righteous, then all living beings will be enlightened.
But, how can we cross the three realms?
Wukong:! ! ! ?
Fa Hai looked towards the direction of the South China Sea: Bodhisattva, it is easy to cross one person, but it is difficult to cross ten thousand people, but there is no end in sight for crossing sentient beings. The little monk seems to have found some direction.
Even if this thing is difficult to accomplish in my lifetime, the monk is willing to give everything I have for it.
Maybe I won’t be able to see the end result, but I will be there at the end.
Amitabha.
Fahai clasped his hands together.
Boom!
The sky was thundering.
In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor used his divine eyes to look down at the lower realm.
In the Tushita Palace, Lao Jun looked at the alchemy furnace with black smoke in front of him, but there was a smile on his lips.
At the back of Lingshan Mountain, Tathagata Buddha, who was playing chess with the great sage of the demon world, smiled and said, "Master, it's your turn to make the move."
The great sage of the demon world sighed: "I wish I could have met this son earlier."
And he sighed in his heart: If he takes over Lingshan, I will be trapped in the demon world, so what?
Woo——
A white cloud floated by, and the kind-hearted Kinnara Bodhisattva, who had been imprisoned by the great sage of the demon world, appeared at this moment. He was dressed in white monk robes, with a smile on his lips forever, looking at the man who had imprisoned him for thousands of years. The young demon monk who intends to subvert the three realms is still not angry at all.
Just when he was about to say a few words——
But he was taken directly back to the demon world by the great sage of the demon world. The moment before he disappeared, he even made a Buddhist salute to Tathagata, and there seemed to be some apology in his eyes.
No one could have imagined that a chance encounter with a pig demon in a small Langlang Mountain would make Master Tripitaka, who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, make such a decision in his heart.
Crossing the Three Realms.
How ambitious is this?
Fahai didn't say much, he just pointed out that the unusual movements in the sky dispersed early.
The Great Sage was the only one who could not calm down for a long time with the shock in his heart.
call--
Master, I should accompany you on this journey.
The master and the disciple looked at each other. Although they were speechless at the moment, they understood each other and had firm beliefs.
Langlang Mountain, in Dawang Cave.
The little pig demon ran all the way without stopping. On the road, he vaguely caught a glimpse of Coach Xiong and the little demons who worked together before, but he did not stop either.
It wasn't until he broke into the cave and came to the king's bedroom that he paused.
He carefully opened the stone door and saw the crow monster lying on the king's bed, sleeping soundly. He suddenly turned his head away, rubbed his sore nose, then stepped forward and slapped him on the head. superior--
"I asked you to chop wood, and you're going to sleep here?"
"Ouch!"
The crow monster was awakened from his sweet dream. He rolled over from the bed and fell to the ground. When he opened his eyes and saw the little pig monster, the crow monster scratched his head and said, "What's wrong? What happened again?"
"I thought you were dead." The little pig demon sat down next to the crow monster.
"Hehe." The crow monster laughed twice, but did not look at the pig monster. Instead, he looked to the other side and responded: "I thought I was going to die too. It scared me to death. How did you know I was there?" here?"
"Instructor Xiong said that monsters taken away by Master Wolf can never come back." The little pig demon looked a little strange, "I just saw Sun Dasheng. Sun Dasheng told me. Did Sun Dasheng save you?"
"Maybe." The crow monster blinked, "I vaguely remember that when Lord Wolf wanted to eat me, he was beaten to death with a stick, and then he fainted. I don't know what happened next. When I woke up again, it was yesterday afternoon. I was already here at that time, oh. Your Majesty is not here, but Sun Dasheng is here."
Just as he was talking, the crow monster saw the little pig monster looking dazed, and quickly stretched out his hand to shake him, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"You said Lord Wolf was beaten to death by Sun Dasheng with a stick?" The little pig demon opened his eyes wide!
"Yeah, that night."
"You also said that when you woke up yesterday, it was Sun Dasheng who was already in the cave?"
"Yes, yes!" The crow monster nodded repeatedly.
The little pig demon originally had a somewhat exciting mind, but it seemed that it was no longer enough.
its not right!
Lord Wolf was beaten to death the night before yesterday, so who is chasing me today?
Sun Dasheng was in the king's cave yesterday afternoon. Where is the king?
oops!
The little pig demon suddenly slapped his thigh, "No wonder!"
"What's so surprising?" The crow monster naturally couldn't understand the little pig monster's meaningless words.
No wonder we only saw Master Sanzang, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing at the foot of the mountain today. I'm afraid Sun Dasheng and Xiao Bailong have already arrived at Langlang Mountain, right? !
"What did Sun Dasheng tell you?" the little pig monster asked the crow monster.
"He asked me if I wanted to be a king."
"What did you say?" The little pig demon suddenly became confused.
The crow monster scratched his head and said, "I said I'm not that good at being a part of it. Do you want to be a part of it?"
The little pig demon also shook his head, "I don't want to be one either, I want to go out and have a look."
The crow monster thought for a while and then said: "Then I can try to be a part of it."
The little pig demon obviously didn't understand why the crow monster suddenly changed its attitude.
"Langlang Mountain is our home. I'm afraid that your home will be gone when you come back after you go out." The crow monster said seriously: "Besides, if you leave, then don't you still need me to take care of your mother and younger brothers and sisters? Wait for me Once you become a king, no one will dare to bully them."
"Amitabha."
At this moment, a Buddha's name came from outside the cave.
The little pig demon quickly said to the crow monster: "This is the voice of Master Sanzang."
The two little demons quickly sat up from the ground. Listening to the footsteps approaching, the two little demons hurriedly went out to greet them.
Just then, he saw the five masters and disciples of Tang Monk walking at the front, followed by more than ten little demons led by Coach Xiong. They were all the little monsters who had worked with them under the King's Cave before, and they were all led by Coach Xiong.
"sit down."
Fahai waved his hand and told these little monsters to sit down, but they did not dare to resist.
At this time, they are still thinking about eating Tang Monk's flesh. If these holy monks and elders don't save them, they will already be burning incense.
"You two also sit over here."
The little pig monster and the crow monster hurriedly ran to Coach Xiong and sat down one on the left and the other on the right.
Coach Xiong had just seen these two little demons coming out of the King's dormitory. Although he didn't know what happened, he could vaguely sense the difference between these two little demons and Master Tang Seng and his disciples.
All the monsters that survived the King's Cave in Langlang Mountain are here. Except for the crow monster, they are all little monsters arranged on the other side of the mountain, using bows and arrows as ambushes.
The little pig demon suddenly thought of something else. Coach Xiong said: It is the king who decides on this strategy, and it is Lord Wolf who chooses people and positions.
Fahai recited scriptures about admonishing people to do good deeds.
This is Fahai's original scripture, which aims to arouse the most basic good thoughts in the hearts of living beings. It is not a magical power that forcibly changes their thoughts.
Fahai is responsible for planting a seed of kindness. As for what kind of flowers can bloom, it is naturally their respective predestined relationships.
After reading a sutra, many little demons already had tears in their eyes. The one who felt the deepest impression was not the little pig demon, nor the crow monster, but the bear instructor.
Once upon a time, he was also a little demon who had just come down from the mountain. At this moment, he was crying and regretting what he had done in the past.
He didn't do any serious bad things, but he made a full accounting of the matter of bullying the little goblin.
After the lecture, the little pig demon was left behind by Fa Hai, the crow monster was taken away by the Great Sage, and the remaining little demons, including the bear instructor, were all pulled out by the little white dragon.
Xiao Bailong has always been responsible for educating the little monsters. After all, when he was in Huangfeng Cave, he was the first to plead with the master to let the innocent little monsters live.
"Mage, where was the crow monster taken by the Great Sage?"
"If he wants to be a great king, he must have the ability to be a great king." Fa Hai smiled, "Just as you want to go out to experience and see the vastness of the Three Realms, you also need the same awareness."
"Take me around the mountains."
The little pig demon nodded quickly, "There is actually nothing interesting in the mountains, but if the mage wants to see it, I will take you for a walk."
A monk and a demon were walking freely in the mountains. For some reason, the pig demon led Master Tripitaka to the highest point of Langlang Mountain.
"You asked me how to be myself." Fahai looked at the little pig demon and said very seriously: "First of all, you have to clarify your own heart. Only when you have faith in your heart can you have the motivation to keep moving forward. To put it simply, it is It’s what your ambition is.”
The little pig demon looked a little confused. He told the truth: "Master, I don't know what my ambition is. Can't I be myself without ambition?"
"Of course not." Fahai enlightened him, "Perhaps it is a bit difficult for you to establish your ambitions now. Why not set a small goal first, such as what you want to do most in the near future? What's the matter?"
The little pig demon thought for a while and said, "I want to go out and have a wander!"
Fahai nodded and said with a smile: "This is a small goal for now, so why are you going out to explore? Do you want to go out to find something? Or do you simply want to go out and see things first? Or maybe, in Langlang The past year in Shandawang Cave has made you feel physically and mentally exhausted, and do you want to escape from this place?"
The little pig demon is blowing the mountain breeze, it turns out that it is troublesome to be yourself.
"Maybe. Maybe there are some." The little pig demon was a little embarrassed.
"This is normal." Fahai was not surprised at all. If you don't even have the patience to point out a little pig demon with a bright mind, there is no need to pretend that you want to transcend the three realms. "You don't have to rush to give an answer. You might as well Sit down, calm down, and think about it.”
Fahai guided the little pig demon to sit cross-legged on the top of the mountain, assuming a posture with five hearts pointing toward the sky.
The wind on the top of the mountain blew through the little pig demon's heart and seemed to dispel his confusion. He said to Master Sanzang: "Master, can monsters really become humans?"
"Yes." Fahai nodded and asked curiously: "Do you want to become a cultivator?"
"No, I don't want to." The little pig demon's tone was very firm, and he solemnly said to Master Sanzang: "I was born a monster. If I become an adult, I will no longer be myself."
If you were born a monster, why should you regret it?
"Master, I want to one day be able to walk freely in every corner of the Three Realms in the form of a monster. I don't have to cover my appearance anymore and I can deal with humans."
