[Journey to the West] Empty Enlightenment Bodhi

Chapter 115

What can Tang Seng do? Can Tang Seng say no?

If Tang Seng dared to say no, Su Shou and Lu Ming would shout: "Catch these fake monks" in the next moment.

Bodhi has been hinting at Monkey King from the corner of his eye, telling Monkey King to show his violent temper and jump out to stand up for him.

It's a pity that Sun Wukong suddenly became curious, wanting to know what this master who has always adhered to the official scriptures and "human life has its own value" will do at this moment.

Bodhi refused to help Monkey King all the way, perhaps because he thought his own life was more important than Monkey King's, so he was hesitant about such a major matter.

After all, if one disciple dies, his Patriarch Bodhi still has tens of thousands of disciples, and if one Patriarch Bodhi dies, there will be no Patriarch Bodhi in this world anymore.

Bodhi kept winking at Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong remained motionless and turned a deaf ear.

He wanted to see what Bodhi would do.

Is he slapping his face and saying that all beings are equal, and one life cannot be exchanged for another; or he agrees with his "monarch and minister" thinking and continues his life for the king.

Lu Ming was still pressing on, citing scriptures and discussing Buddhism with Tang Seng. It seemed that Tang Seng dared to refuse, which was a great disrespect to the Buddhist scriptures and a blasphemy to the Buddha.

Bodhi laughed, trying to evade everything.

But Su Shou and Lu Ming didn't give Tang Seng this chance, Sun Wukong stood by and watched, Zhu Bajie Sand Monk didn't understand Buddhism at all, let alone debating scriptures with Lu Ming, it would be good if they could understand.

The enemy is too strong, and our side stands still.

What can Bodhi do? Bodhi is also very desperate.jpg

The scene once fell into a state of extreme embarrassment.

This is true, let alone that Tathagata Buddha and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva are villainous, just talking about the Buddhist doctrine of "Mahayana saves others, Hinayana saves oneself" is a very interesting topic.

If Bodhi cannot give up his body today, he will be a monk in vain.

It is ridiculous that Confucianism and Buddhism have reached the same goal by different routes today.

If Bodhi could not give up his body today, he would be a Confucian believer in vain.

According to Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are first of all benevolence. If this Bodhi is really able to face a hundred lives without changing his face and resolutely, then he is not a believer in Confucianism.

Not to mention exchanging one life for a hundred lives, it means exchanging one life for one life. According to the teachings of Confucianism, it is obligatory.

Today's situation is a deadly move for Bodhi who believes in Confucianism; it is even more deadly move for Tang Seng who believes in Buddhism.

All in all, Lu Ming dug a hole, only waiting for the prey to throw himself into the net, rushing left and right, it was a dead move.

But, would Bodhi really exchange his body for a hundred lives?

Will he do it?

After getting along for so long, can Monkey King not know what kind of person Bodhi looks like?

If Bodhi's life was exchanged for Sun Wukong's life today, Bodhi would be able to say the change without trembling.

However, if Bodhi wanted to exchange his body for the lives of a hundred irrelevant people, he would absolutely refuse.

If Bodhi can give up his body here today, then this person is not Bodhi.

However, Sun Wukong thought about it again, and there may not be a solution to this.

The teachings of Taoism are quite appropriate here.

It's none of your business, hang up high.

Follow the destiny and follow the trend.

If Bodhi knew that the only person who could save him at this moment had the "doing nothing to cure" that he detested most, he would not know what expression he should have.

Sun Wukong thought a thousand times in his mind, secretly trying to figure out Bodhi's reaction in his heart.

But Bodhi only recited a Buddha's name: "The national teacher is joking, these one hundred lives are in your hands, life and death are all at the disposal of the national teacher, if the national teacher moves kind thoughts, they will have all of them." Freshmen, why bother making things difficult for the poor monk."

These words almost fell directly on Lu Ming's face.

Lu Ming was not annoyed, and clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay, okay, really a holy monk, just a hundred ignorant lives, how can it compare to the life of a king of our country? If I let these one hundred babies go, Can the holy monk stay and continue his life for the king of our country?"

"Since you can let go of these one hundred lives, the national teacher, you can let it go. I can't bear to see it." The king touched his heart, "How should this life be continued?"

But Lu Ming laughed loudly: "Naturally, the life of the holy monk is used to continue the life of the king. Holy monk, holy monk, I can release all these hundred babies, and I did as you ordered. Shouldn't you also fulfill your promise?"

"The poor monk doesn't know, what kind of promise did the poor monk make with the national teacher?" Bodhi asked neither humble nor overbearing.

Lu Ming paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, the killing intent all over his body was undisguised: "I will give back to the Holy Monk what the Holy Monk said just now - the life of my king is in your hands, life and death are up to you The holy monk will deal with it, if the holy monk moves kind thoughts, my king will have a new life. If the holy monk refuses, then don't blame Lu Ming for my lack of mercy!"

Bodhi was still not in a hurry: "The king is sick, so he should seek a doctor, and he shouldn't believe in these wandering doctors' prescriptions."

"I found it," the king coughed a few times. "It's just that everyone said that there is no way to get back to heaven. Only the prescription of the national teacher is still hanging on my life."

"The prescription of the wandering doctor?!" Lu Ming couldn't help laughing out loud, "You said it was the prescription of the wandering doctor, this is clearly your Taoism, oh no, it should be Confucianism, this is clearly your prescription Son, holy monk!"

After saying this, Lu Ming looked at the four of His Royal Highnesses with a confused expression, quite madly: "This prescription, the holy monk and your disciple must be familiar with each other. After all, this prescription was given to me by the disciple. of."

Sun Wukong blinked at His Highness, and the formula of longevity and longevity pill quickly flashed in his mind. There was no such so-called great merit or the introduction of the hearts of hundreds of babies. Me! When did I give you such a prescription?!"

"I'm afraid you don't remember," Lu Ming only smiled, "That's right, since you became the Monkey King, no, no, no, since you became the head of the seven demons, when have you ever cared about your old friends?"

"What prescription?" Bodhi asked from below.

"Prescriptions to suppress demon energy." Lu Ming smiled, with a bit of calmness, "When you gave a lecture in the Bodhi Illusion, your beloved disciple once took me to the Pill Pavilion to touch a few pill prescriptions. There is one that talks about suppressing demon energy, and the heart of a person with great merit is used in it. If you don't believe it, you can ask your great disciple, ask him, whether I have lied to him or not."

"You—" Bodhi pointed at Sun Wukong, and after a while, "Why are you able to pass on such prescriptions?! The prescriptions of Dange are not allowed to be passed on to outsiders, don't you know?"

"I know," Sun Wukong didn't take it seriously, "it's just that the recipe is for people to learn. If the master really wants to blame it, it's better to blame the person who got the recipe and didn't destroy it, but put the recipe in the alchemy pavilion." Just people."

Bodhi was speechless.

The prescription was originally put in by Bodhi. Among his followers, some are high-ranking demon cultivators. Because they need to walk in the world, he got such a prescription. What he never expected was that one day, he would make it himself. own face.

Of course Sun Wukong knew it, even if he didn't know it at first, he could think of it later.

"Amitabha," Bodhi clasped his hands together, "How did the national teacher know that this prescription is really effective?"

Lu Ming glanced at Bodhi inexplicably, and his eyes fell on Hong Yan: "I have heard that you, a little apprentice, used to be a demon cultivator?"

"Monks, regardless of high or low, can come into my door if they have a heart for goodness." Bodhi clasped his hands together and became a Buddhist lobbyist. "If the benefactor can put down the butcher knife, he can become a Buddha immediately."

"I don't want to become a Buddha. I only wish to become a demon in this life." Lu Ming pointed to the red flame and said to Bodhi. , if you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”

Everyone turned their heads to look at the red flame, but Drifting looked upright and didn't answer.

"Wujing, is what he said true?" Bodhi asked.

"Yes, master." Drifting nodded, "That prescription was actually made by my master when I was cultivating demons. I have used it before."

After Drifting finished speaking, he wanted to return to the team.Unexpectedly, everyone stared at him wrongly, and he had to say a few more words: "I think back then, I was full of evil deeds and murderous. There were nine holy monks who wanted to save me one after another. I Naturally I don’t believe it. I told them that if they want to save me, they will be willing to protect me. I have their protection, and I have a reliance in the world of demon cultivation, so I will naturally not kill again.”

"They agreed?!" Zhu Bajie exclaimed, "Do they have pig heads? They don't know that Moxiu has always been cunning and broke his word?!"

Drifting just smiled: "Buddhist practitioners are cultivating salvation. Regardless of whether people are trustworthy or not, they will believe them, and then use their kind thoughts to influence and save each other." Drifting paused Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, with a nostalgic look, but the nostalgic expression was fleeting, and soon, Drifting's face returned to the official smile.

"Influence is the foundation of cultivating Buddha. What the second brother said is right, demon cultivators cannot be trusted. I don't believe that the first holy monk put down his weapon and allowed me to slaughter him. I hung his head on his neck. At that time, I still didn't believe it; but when the ninth holy monk willingly sacrificed his life in order to save me, I put down the butcher knife since then, and even if it was a catastrophe, I never thought of killing."

"I've been wandering around in the mortal world since then, and I've used this recipe." Drifting said with a smile, "This recipe is easy to use, and no one has ever seen through my identity as a demon cultivator."

Zhu Bajie was stunned when he heard that.

Never expected that this silent third junior brother would have such a ruthless temper back then.Empty talk, empty glove white wolf.Too cruel.No wonder he was able to stay by the Jade Emperor's side for so many years, and finally climbed up to the position of general rolling shutter.

You can't accept it, you can't accept it.

Bodhi clasped his hands together: "It's a good thing that you can finally correct the evil and return to the right."

"Holy Monk, did you hear that, your disciples agree that you use your own body to save others. Hurry up and kill yourself." Lu Ming laughed loudly, "What else can the Holy Monk say?"

Bodhi clasped his hands together and said: "The national teacher just mentioned - to suppress the devilish energy. This king is a mortal, why should he suppress the devilish energy? Could it be that the national teacher is using the name of the king to find some raw materials for himself to walk in the world?" .”

"Haha, you're not stupid." Lu Ming glanced at Bodhi sideways, "The king's body was empty in his early years, so I gave him a little devilish energy to make him live better. If it wasn't for this, the king might be I went away ten years ago."

"Now, only this prescription in my hand can save the king. It's not troublesome, it only needs the heart of the holy monk." Lu Ming smiled, "I heard outside the city that you, the holy monk, and the people along the way Discussing the classics of Confucianism has made a lot of achievements in Confucianism. It just so happens that I also have some questions that I want to ask for advice. I wonder if the holy monk can give me some advice?"

"What nonsense!" Zhu Bajie jumped up holding the nine-tooth nail rake, "My master is a dignified Buddhist practitioner, how could he know such nonsense?!"

"Hahaha, he won't, he won't?! It's really good that he won't! Hahahaha," Lu Ming laughed with his head up into the sky. What kind of bullshit teachings, killing innocent people and wives?!"

"What does the national teacher want to discuss with you?" Bodhi looked calm.

"Discuss what?" Lu Ming laughed loudly, "How about discussing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness?"

"I heard that Confucian people will take the initiative to help the old and weak when they meet, and they will take the initiative to rescue the old and weak when they are drowning, and they will give up the chance to survive when they encounter the old and weak. In this case, the king is older than the holy monk in age, weaker than the holy monk in physical strength, out of benevolence and righteousness, shouldn't the holy monk save me, the king of the bhikkhu country?"
