Chapter 193: Debate

"Just," Mu Feiqing sneered: "How ridiculous the world is to practice Buddhism if a demon is not practicing demonic methods!"

The little monk Wuchen shook his head slightly and said, "Master, your idea is too extreme. Isn't there anyone in the world who abandons people as demons?"

"Since his spiritual wisdom was born, Mr. Kumu has been enlightened by Buddhism and devoted himself to practicing and saving the way. After entering the world for a hundred years, he has never killed a person. Instead, he has saved countless people and has immeasurable merits. Speaking of which, when we were born as humans, we have committed many murders."

"Your Majesty, you are the Great Sage. How can you deny your heart towards Buddha just because he is a demon? You see the world of change, but how can you not know in a single thought that a demon is a human being, and a human being is a demon?"

Mu Feiqing was slightly stunned and said, "Do you want to say that all beings are equal?"

Wuchen nodded and said, "I want to say it, but I can't say it!"

"Why?" Mu Feiqing asked.

Wu Chen sighed and said, "Because, I don't know, the Buddha said that sentient beings are equal, have you ever seen someone born noble and someone born humble. The Buddha said that he would put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha on his own. But I once saw a Buddha full of karma. The Buddha said that turning back is the shore, but I once saw a demon going up to Lingshan, and he could not turn back!"

"So, Master, I cannot say the saying that all living beings are equal. Please forgive the little monk for being incompetent in Buddhism and cannot explain the equality of all living beings."

Mu Feiqing smiled slightly, his sword intent dissipated, stood with his hands behind his back, slowly landed in front of Wuchen, and asked, "This monster is indeed without karma. I can naturally see it at a glance, but do you know why I want to kill him?"

"Please help me solve my doubts." Wuchen begged.

Mu Feiqing sighed and said, "I took a wolf cub back home in the mountains and raised him with the dog at home. The wolf didn't know that he was a wolf, and he mingled with the dog all day long to guard the house. But day after day, year after year, I began to sharpen my knife. Little monk, do you know why?"

"Amitabha," Wu Chen held the ritual and said, "I think the Lord saw that the young wolf is getting bigger and bigger, and it has gradually exceeded your control. I am worried that one day the wolf's nature will be stimulated and harmed the Lord!"

Mu Feiqing continued, "When I sharpened my knife to the wolf, the wolf knelt in front of me. It begged me not to kill it. It didn't understand why I wanted to kill it. It kept guarding me, working diligently, and making great contributions, and never made any mistakes."

Wuchen was silent and listened quietly.

Mu Feiqing continued, "I was still unable to be cruel after all. I put away my knife and my life returned to my previous peace. The wolf still guarded my house until one day, a lonely wolf in the mountains broke into my home."

"The wolf I raised did not disappoint my expectations. I tried my best to protect me and my life. I really could not be wary of him anymore, so I threw the knife in the house."

Wu Chen pondered for a while and said, "Did this wolf stimulate the ferociousness? He saw the Lord abandon the knife and opened his bloody mouth to the Lord?"

"No," Mu Feiqing shook his head slightly and said, "The wolf is still as usual, guarding my house and waving his tail to beg for mercy. However, his appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and I can no longer hold on. In the end, he lets him go back to the deep mountains he should go to."

Wuchen said in confusion: "This is the best of both worlds, and everyone is happy."

Mu Feiqing sighed: "After many years, I returned home again. I heard that a pack of wolves appeared in the mountains. I knew people's living habits very well. Almost no one who passed by the mountains will live... Wuchen, how big a sin did you think I had committed?"

"You said, did I do something wrong in this story? Wolf, did something wrong again?"

Wuchen was silent, folded his hands together, stood quietly in the rain, letting the drizzle fall on his body, for a long time, for a long time.

The old Zen Master Kumu stood beside him, but he no longer had the previous panic, but he did not dare to move.

After a while, Wuchen suddenly bowed and said, "The realm of the Supreme Master is far superior to that of the little monk. A few days ago, I felt that the Supreme Master's Gods were in response and wanted to go to Jiangnan to seek the Supreme Master's Dharma. I didn't expect that I would lose here today."

"Oh," Mu Feiqing said suddenly: "You are the one I learned to know and I had a relationship with God in the West that day?"

"It's the little monk," Wu Chen said: "I just entered the Tang Kingdom that day and met the Lord's divine thoughts. I wanted to visit Master Kumu first and then go to Jiangnan to find Lord Kusua, but I never thought I would be so destined!"

Mu Feiqing didn't expect that this little monk was the one who broke through his realm that day and traveled around the world.

"Then, Wuchen, this demon, what do you want?" Mu Feiqing asked.

Wu Chen said: "The master's level is beyond my reach. However, the old Zen master has a profound Buddhist teaching. Although he is a demon body, he looks like a Buddha in my opinion. Therefore, Master, I cannot let you kill a Buddha."

Mu Feiqing looked at the old Zen Master Kumu and sighed, "Forget it, I came today just to argue with the old Zen Master Kumu. But I didn't expect that the one who was waiting for was a heavenly demon. This is the realm of Longhu Mountain, and it was not my turn to deal with it."

"Thank you for your compassion!" said the old Zen Master Kumu hurriedly.

"The Lord is merciful." Wu Chen bowed.

"Okay," Mu Feiqing waved his sleeves and said, "One other thing, how many people did the old Zen master take in yesterday?"

"Yes." said the old Zen master.

"I will kill these three people!" Mu Feiqing said.

"Ah..." Ku Mu looked embarrassed, but he did not dare to refuse Mu Feiqing, so he had to look at Monk Wuchen.

Wuchen knew that the old Zen Master Kumu was compassionate, so he asked for him, saying, "Honor has a grudge against these three people?"

Mu Feiqing smiled and said, "Do you still want to persuade me to put down the butcher knife?"

"I dare not." Wu Chen said.

"That's just thinking about it," Mu Feiqing smiled slightly and said, "It's useless. If these three people don't die, I can't calm down!"

After saying that, Mu Feiqing's figure disappeared and appeared on the top of the mountain the next moment.

Old Zen Master Kumu wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Wuchen and said, "Old Zen Master, those three people are too deeply involved with the cause and effect of the Supreme Master. I can understand that if you want to save people, how many people will be killed indirectly if the cause and effect of the Supreme Master is destroyed? Have you ever thought about it?"

"This..." the old Zen master said in confusion: "I would like to ask the holy monk to solve his doubts."

Wu Chen said: "Old Zen Master, you have been practicing for a hundred years, but it is not enough. All the causes and effects laws in the world are rootless duckweed. Whether it is to save the world or encourage people to be good, you need to do it within your ability. This is the fundamental method of practice!"

"If you can do it, you should not do it. If you don't do it, you must have it in your destiny at all times. Don't force it in your destiny. Old Zen master, why can't you see through it after a hundred years? You should practice for another hundred years, and you must not leave the sight of Longhu Mountain!"

The old Zen master held the ceremony and said, "Abide by the law."

The old Zen master carried a bucket and went down the mountain to fetch water again.

Wu Chen looked at the old monk who was slowly going down the mountain, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Why don't you understand such a simple truth? You can't beat it!"
