What is Buddha?
If it were in the past, Kinnara would definitely answer without hesitation: The one who leads people to do good is a Buddha, the one who saves all living beings is a Buddha, the one who saves suffering is a Buddha, and the one who is compassionate is a Buddha.
But Zhunti's refusal to save him made him doubt the concept of Buddha.
Jieyin and Zhunti created Western Buddhism, the Eight Hundred Side Sects, and Buddhism. If neither of them can achieve the Buddhism they say, then what should a real Buddha look like?
And does it exist?
Kinnara had no answer in his heart, so he could only look at Xuan Chen.
Xuan Chen still did not answer, but continued to ask: "Friend Kinnara, since you don't know what Buddha is, what about good and evil? What do you think is good? What is evil?"
Kinnara did have an answer to this question.
After thinking about it, he said: "It is good to do things with and without leaks that benefit this world and other lives. On the contrary, it is evil to do things with leaks that are harmful to this world and other lives. It is good to save people." , Killing people is evil, saving all sentient beings is good, and killing all beings is evil."
After hearing Kinnara's understanding of good and evil, Xuanchen smiled and said, "Wrong, wrong."
Kinnara asked: "What's wrong?"
Xuan Chen shook his head, and then he manifested all the heavenly merits he had accumulated, and said: "What you said is not wrong, but it is too narrow-minded. Looking at my merits, do you think I am good or not? Evil? A good person or an evil person?"
The golden wheel of merit shines as warm as the sun, which is in sharp contrast to the dark demonic aura on Kinnara's body.
One is majestic and solemn, the other is dark and profound.
Kinnara said without hesitation: "Fellow Taoist used the Dinghai Divine Pearl to transform the Twenty-Four Hells, and used the Purple Electric Hammer to transform the Heavenly Tribulation. He repaired the earth's veins in the West and created the prehistoric script. He has done a great job. Even the way of heaven has sent down a huge amount of merit. , he is naturally a good person.”
You know, even if a lot of the merit accumulated in Xuan Chen's body is spent, he is still the best in the world.
Coupled with the fact that he once helped the West repair the earth's veins, Kinnara naturally felt that he was a good person.
"Hahaha!" Xuanchen couldn't help but laugh when he heard Kinnara say that he was a good person.
It seems that this golden light of merit caused him to have a big misunderstanding!
Xuan Chen asked himself, although he was not a bad person, he was definitely not a good person, otherwise he would not have been able to refine the demon-slaying sword with the blood and souls of hundreds of millions of demon clans.
There are also many innocent people who have died in the calamity together with Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Why are fellow Taoists laughing?" Kinnara asked in confusion.
Xuan Chen looked at Naluo and said calmly: "Since you say killing is evil and massacring all living beings is evil, then I should also be a bad person. I killed quite a few monsters during the Lich War, and now there is even more of a stir. Measure the calamity and lead all sentient beings into calamity."
"Tell me, are what I did good or bad?"
this……
Kinnara frowned, which was indeed not a good thing in his understanding.
But if Xuan Chen is a bad person, then what is the meaning of all the merits in his body? Could it be that the way of heaven cannot distinguish between good and evil? Or is his understanding of good and evil wrong, and killing is also a good thing?
In the end, Kinnara bowed his hands to Xuanchen and said, "Fellow Taoist, please clarify my doubts."
Xuan Chen smiled slightly and said: "These two things can be good or evil. When I kill the demon clan, it is naturally evil to the demon clan. But from the perspective of the human race, I kill the demon clan for protection. The human race is good to the human race.”
"As the saying goes, killing karma does not mean killing people. Killing is to protect yourself. Good and evil just depends on your stance."
"Similarly, I evolved to measure tribulations and implicated many innocent people. My crimes are indescribable to all sentient beings in the wild, but for heaven, measuring tribulations can reduce the burden of heaven and earth, canonize gods, and improve heaven's ways. , but it’s a great achievement.”
"So, there is no obvious difference between good and evil. I am not necessarily a good person if I am full of merit and gold, and you are not necessarily a bad person if you are full of demonic aura. Have you done anything unforgivable by nature since you became a demon?"
Kinnara shook his head.
He became a demon only because he had doubts about Buddhism, and the invasion of inner demons did not cause harm to anyone. If he had to say what damage he had, it would be the reputation of Western religion!
Although he was still worried about Ah Sha's incident, he became enlightened after hearing Xuan Chen's understanding of good and evil.
Killing karma is not killing people. Killing is to protect yourself?
It seems that my understanding of good and evil is too narrow.
Seeing that Kinnara was deep in thought because of his words, Xuanchen continued: "Since fellow Taoist remember what I said to fellow Taoist when we discussed Taoism in Kunlun Mountain, I wonder if you still remember the question I raised to fellow Taoist Maitreya. ?”
"Of course I remember." Kinnara came back to his senses and nodded.
Although one Huiyuan has passed, as Daluo Jinxian, he can remember it at any time if he wants. He still remembers when the five members of the Western Sect discussed Taoism with the disciples of the Second Sect of Interpretation and Interpretation, and the Western Sect still had the upper hand at that time.
In the end, Xuan Chen used his spear and shield to attack his opponent, and used Western-style debating techniques to turn the tide and refute several people one by one.
The question Maitreya was asked at that time was the question between the eminent monk and the fish.
A fishmonger and an eminent monk were neighbors. The fishmonger got up early every day to kill animals, which was a serious sin, but the eminent monk got up early every day to pray for and recite sutras for all people in the world. His merits were immeasurable. One day, the fishmonger and the eminent monk met to remind each other to get up early to kill fish or recite sutras. .
Xuan Chen's question is who of the two can ascend to the Paradise of Elysium after their death.
Maitreya initially answered that he was an eminent monk, but Xuanchen said he was a fishmonger, and he was justified.
Because the fishmonger wakes up the eminent monk every day to recite sutras, and every time the eminent monk prays for someone, the fishmonger gets a share of the credit; on the contrary, the eminent monk wakes up the fishmonger every day, but the fishmonger goes to kill fish, and every killing sin in the fishmonger's hands has a share. A portion for the eminent monk.
It can be said that he understands debate and cause and effect to the extreme.
Afterwards, Kinnara discussed this issue with Maitreya and believed that what Xuanchen said was not wrong. After all, it is true according to the theory of cause and effect. Is it possible that there is something in it that he has not comprehended?
Thinking of this, Kinnara immediately asked: "Is there some mystery in this?"
Of course there is no mystery, Xuanchen just wanted to give Kinnara an example.
But to trick the World-Destroying Black Lotus into coming over, you have to convince him first.
Anyway, the opponent's Taoist heart has collapsed like that, and I want to help him rebuild his Taoist heart.
Xuan Chen put his hands behind his back and said with a superior demeanor: "Of course, that's just me using your Western sophistry to deceive you, tooth for tooth, eye for eye. It's not the real answer to that question."
"The real answer?"
"That's right, the answer to that question is actually that neither person will go to paradise. If you do good deeds intentionally, they will not be rewarded, and if you do evil unintentionally, you will not be punished. The eminent monk asked the fishmonger to get up. It was just out of good intentions and he did not expect that it would cause any harm. Kill evildoers, so this bad karma will not be attributed to the eminent monk."
"But the karma of the fishmonger's killing of fish is directly calculated on the fishmonger, so the fishmonger cannot go to bliss."
Seeing that Kinnara was curious about this question, Xuanchen told the answer and said slowly.
I made up the story myself, and the final right of interpretation rests with me.
"Wait a minute." Kinnara asked doubtfully: "Since the fishmonger's karma for killing the fish has not been calculated on the eminent monk, then the eminent monk should enter the Paradise of Paradise at the right time, so why can't the two of them enter?"
Xuan Chen smiled and asked, "What does the eminent monk do every day?"
"Recite sutras," Kinnara replied.
Seeing that Jin Naluo was on the hook, Xuan Chen mocked without hesitation: "That's it, what's the use of chanting sutras? Can chanting sutras prevent a few people from dying every day? Chanting sutras can make the fishmongers put down their butcher knives and stop killing. Fish?"
Facing Xuanchen's series of rhetorical questions, Kinnara didn't know how to answer.
Xuan Chen did not wait for the other party to answer, but said to himself: "Reciting sutras is of no use. Reading thousands of sutras is not as good as doing some good deeds every day. The eminent monk only knows how to recite sutras and does not practice the principles in the sutras. Naturally, you cannot go to bliss after death."
"Of course, you are also foolishly reciting scriptures. Does what the scriptures say must be correct? Does what the saints say must be correct? Ah Sha is right, and it is right that all living beings are equal. Since even the saint Zhunti cannot fulfill the principles he proposed, That’s naturally problematic.”
"I have read several scriptures of your Western religions. Some are profound and profound, while others are narrow and absurd. Some of them were meant to deceive the believers, but I didn't expect that even you, a direct disciple of the Western religions, were deceived."
Yes, Kinnara still lacks the beatings from society.
All living beings are equal, and all are ants under this saint. It is impossible to realize a prehistoric world with great supernatural powers. The reason why Zhunti was brought up is simply to attract those low-level monks to join the Western religion.
But I didn't expect that the low-level monks didn't deceive him, but instead got their own disciples in.
Of course, this does not prevent Xuanchen from deceiving Kinnara to strive in the direction of equality for all living beings. After all, having a Buddha who cares for all living beings is much better than a wall of gold and bronze statues.
It is nothing more than a difference between being born in the world and joining the world.
Some monks have stayed in the Immortal Mountain for a long time, and no longer have a trace of worldliness, and no longer have compassion for all living beings in the world. Some monks go out into the human world to practice Buddhism and save all living beings, such as Guanyin and Taoism in later generations. Economic.
The reputation of these two people in later generations is even higher than that of several Buddhas. Naturally, it is because they actively participated in the world and rescued the suffering.
After hearing this, Kinnara was still confused and asked: "Then what should I do?"
Seeing the other party's question, Xuanchen smiled and said: "Since you think what Saint Chunti did is wrong, then you should do what you think is right, practice the Dharma that you think is right, unite knowledge and action, start anew, and save all sentient beings."
Unity of knowledge and action?
Start anew and practice Buddhism?
Xuanchen's words were like a bell, deafening, and each sentence struck hard on Kinnara's Taoist heart. The originally broken Taoist heart began to regroup, but then stopped abruptly.
Now that he is full of demonic energy, there is no place for him to stay in the wilderness.
We can only go to the devil world.
Seemingly seeing Kinnara's concerns, Xuanchen put his arms around the other person's shoulders and said meaningfully: "Fellow Taoist is worried about the problem of demonic energy. I have the Pure World White Lotus to eliminate the demonic aura for you, and I also teach you." There is no distinction between teachings, and Master doesn’t mind accepting one more disciple.”
Hearing this, Kinnara's eyes brightened a little.
If they could stay in the primitive world, who would be willing to go to the dark demon world and dance with the demons?
Then Xuan Chen dropped a bombshell again and said: "Fellow Taoist, you should know that my junior brother Chi You, under the watch of Queen Mother Tu, was canonized as the Central Ghost Emperor, and was given the Book of Life and Death, the ultimate innate spiritual treasure, to resurrect Ah Although it won’t do to be ashamed, I can help you find her reincarnation so that you can continue your relationship!”
"As for whether to awaken her past life memories, it's up to you."
As Xuan Chen said these words, Kinnara could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and said, "Is this true?"
But then he calmed down and said coldly: "There is no free lunch in the world. Fellow Taoist helped me like this. I don't believe there is no plan. Please tell the truth."
Xuan Chen nodded, looking a bit like Wutian Buddha.
He immediately stopped trying to hide it and said truthfully: "Of course I have a purpose for helping fellow Taoist. I help fellow Taoist get rid of the evil spirit, worship the Jie Cult, and find the reincarnation of Ah Sha. How about exchanging the world-destroying black lotus for the fellow Taoist?" ?”
World-destroying black lotus?
The other party's purpose was actually this, which surprised Kinnara.
Although it is not clear how the other party knew this, this spiritual treasure was left behind by the Demon Ancestor and was inextricably related to the Demon World, but it was not a good thing.
But when he thought about the conditions offered by the other party, he simply couldn't refuse.
He immediately took out the World-Destroying Black Lotus, handed it to Xuan Chen, and said, "Fellow Taoist, please keep your promise."
"That's natural."
Xuan Chen took the spirit treasure and immediately summoned his clone Xuan Ye. A ray of light that purified the world hit Kinnara's body. Immediately, the dense demonic energy on his body died like ice and snow and collapsed.
Kinnara only felt that his Taoist heart was bright, and the inner demons were gone.
The originally broken Taoist heart regrouped in an instant, and became much stronger than before.
After doing this, Xuanchen immediately looked at Kinnara and asked: "The evil spirit has been eliminated. Do you want to worship the Jie Jiao first, or do you want to see Ah Sha's reincarnation first?"
Kinnara pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Let's go see A-Shame first!"
Therefore, Xuan Chen immediately asked his incarnation Xuan Ye to take Kinnara to the Netherworld and ask Chi You for help in finding Ah Sha's reincarnation. There was no need to bother Hou Tu with this trivial matter.
But I took out the World-Destroying Black Lotus and looked at it carefully.
The aura of destruction lingers on it, and there is also a bit of demonic aura. It is extremely dark and dark, which is completely opposite to the Pure White Lotus. This may be the reason why the World-Destroying Black Lotus was once sacrificed by the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
Now that the three twelve-grade lotus terraces have been assembled, all it takes is to integrate them into the three flowers on the top, and the great road can be expected from now on.
With the three twelfth-grade lotus platforms fused with the three flowers on top, and the five innate flags fused with the five qi in the chest, I am afraid that no one with a deeper foundation than my own can be found in the wild!
Of course, except Daozu Hongjun.
Moreover, Xuan Chen does not intend to merge now. He has to tell his master in advance about poaching the Western religion to avoid trouble from the two Western saints. After all, these two saints are helping others to join the Western religion and are poached. It must be the first time in the corner.
Also, Kinnara has not entered the demon world, which will definitely cause variables in the future.
In order to avoid situations that he could not control, Xuan Chen decided to use the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus to create an incarnation and go to the demon world. He just didn't know if his incarnation could replace Kinnara and become the one who should be succumbed to the calamity of Buddha and demon. people.
Anyway, if you want to realize the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, I'm afraid it's impossible if you don't have a few Huiyuan.
There is no need to take the clone back now and integrate it into Sanhua.
Following Xuan Chen's spiritual thoughts, a primordial spirit was slashed out and rested on the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus.
The Demon Lord Xuantian was born.
