Guanyin Master's words made Meng Yan very wary. He did not doubt that the other party's words of betting on everyone's heads were empty words, but just because he believed them, it became a big problem.
'This sentence has at least two meanings. First, if Buddhism requires them to sacrifice, if Buddhism needs them to sacrifice, they will have the courage to sacrifice without sparing their lives. These are super fierce warriors, and people like this,
There will definitely be no shortage of Buddhists. If I fall out with Buddhism, I will become enemies of thousands, even hundreds of millions, of these people.'
'Master's analysis is very good, and the second point... This is a genuine human emperor. In most places in the Eastern Territory today, he can walk sideways, but if you say a word, master, he will immediately take his head.
This means that Buddhism can also afford this kind of consumption. In other words, if one Human Emperor dies, there may be hundreds or thousands of Human Emperors over there who can come to the East to settle accounts at any time.'
'It's life-threatening to listen to this... Just hearing this makes me feel that Buddhism is so powerful that we can't mess with it, so we want to back down and make peace.'
'But maybe, this is the psychological effect that Buddhism wants to create. It is a trick to make you flinch. In short, you don't have to make a decision in a hurry. Why not listen to the explanation and take a look at the gifts?'
Wu Chou's suggestion was the most practical. Meng Yan looked at Guanyin Master and said: "I am not a murderer. Is it nice to put a bunch of heads in front of me? If you want to explain, then...explain it, I
Listen."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for being so considerate and courteous. The matter is actually a bit complicated and involves a murderous case within our Buddhist sect..."
Avalokitesvara gave an explanation. Ten years ago, a revelation from the Buddha came from the Buddhist world. There will be a child who will bear the sins of heaven and earth, be born filthy, full of resentment, and will lead to a demonic disaster. Buddhism must be the first to take the lead.
Find this child and save Weiyang from trouble.
Buddhism spent a lot of effort and resources and finally found the newborn baby, but they had difficulties in how to deal with it.
"...Since it is a scourge, of course it must be uprooted as soon as possible to eliminate the cause of the scourge. However, as a Buddhist, I have the virtue of loving life. If I kill the baby just for this reason, it is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally. Although there are also fellow practitioners who are willing to do so.
He abandoned his cultivation and practiced the Asura Way, responsible for eliminating harm, but..."
Guanyin Dharma Master said: "At that time, there were many factions within Buddhism. There were endless debates. Some factions believed that the birth of this girl represented cause and effect. If she was killed, even though the person died, the cause and effect would not be eliminated, and the karma would counterattack in the future.
The disaster is more serious, so he must not be killed... After many legal discussions, the decision was finally made to imprison the child."
"Well, I didn't kill animals recklessly. Buddhism is really compassionate." Meng Yan touched his chin and said: "But as a group of monks who say they are compassionate, they imprison a child who has not had time to do anything and imprison him from an early age. This is not
Do you know what kind of compassion it is? What kind of cause and effect is it?"
"To take precautions in the bud, how can we care about personal reputation? If it is because of personal kindness, intolerance, or care about one's own practice, and brings disaster to the common people, is this what a monk should do?"
Avalokitesvara put his palms together and said: "No matter how painful it is, all sentient beings suffer, and everything is just for the common people in the world."
Having said this, the two Dharma Masters Vajra and Arhat behind him clasped their hands together and recited the Buddha's name, with a solemn and enlightened look on their faces. Meng Yan shrugged, not knowing what to say.
"You all think it doesn't matter. It's not my turn as an outsider to talk about this matter. Whatever, but please explain, isn't that... the devil boy imprisoned? What does this have to do with us?"
"The demon child was indeed imprisoned, but there was a traitor in Buddhism who fell into the devil's path. He wanted to use the demon child to cause trouble and realize his ambition. Taking advantage of the lax defense, he attacked and killed the guards and escaped with the demon infant."
Avalokitesvara said: "Buddhism is pursuing a full-scale pursuit in the Western Region, fearing that it will cause a huge disaster, but the demon baby was taken out of the country. Over the years, it has been circulating in the three worlds, making it beyond the reach of my Buddhist sect. After many years of hard pursuit, finally, in A few months ago, the demon boy and the traitor sneaked back into the monastery and stole Buddhist treasures. When they were discovered, they killed and injured many of my Buddhist disciples and fled..."
"Oh, what a pity. If I had known better, it would be better to kill him with one blow, right? You...were the ones sent out to chase people?"
"The demon boy used magic to disrupt the secrets of heaven and conceal his whereabouts. We couldn't estimate his whereabouts, so we could only send out manpower to search in all directions... Finally, we discovered his whereabouts in Dongtu and tracked him all the way."
"It's a little different from the version I heard before, but it doesn't matter. But can you explain, what does this have to do with me? It's just because that chick came to me, and I didn't even promise her anything, so you're going to kill me too Kill? This seems...not very merciful, right?"
Meng Yan raised a question, and a trace of heaviness flashed across Master Guanyin's face, and he sighed: "It's all because we didn't investigate. Master Bodhisattva fell into the devil's way, infiltrated in, sow discord, and accused the donor of being an accomplice of the devil boy. Causes conflict between us and Dongtu..."
"So, it's all this guy's conspiracy. Buddhism actually has no intention of attacking me? Let alone the Ye family? Everything is just a simple misunderstanding. Now that the traitor is dead, you clean up the family and apologize. We will do the same in the future Can you be nice, hold hands, eat fruit, etc.?"
Meng Yan raised his eyebrows, "But why do I feel that the last time I made a move, the Bodhisattva Dharma Master had a helpless look on his face, as if he was very reluctant to do anything to me. He just had to do it because he had no choice but to do it. It's not that bad..."
"That's because..."
"And why do I think your expressions now are as helpless as his expressions at that time? Frankly speaking, as a middle-level manager, it feels uncomfortable to be ordered to do things, right?"
Meng Yan said: "Okay, anyway, my position is very simple. If the gift satisfies me, I will forget about it. I just sympathize with you a little...especially you. The true emperor I know is very principled and will not be flexible. People, what you do is in line with your true intention and your principles? If you do too many things against your will, be careful that your state of mind will fall, and it will all come to nothing."
Guanyin Dharma Master was silent. The two Dharma Masters Vajra and Arhat also looked helpless, even sad and angry. Meng Yanquan saw this but didn't want to speak.
Although I don't know much about politics, nor am I well versed in the ways of the world, I can still understand the situation at hand.
Buddhism was not only unmerciful, but also extremely ruthless. They directly sacrificed Bodhisattva Dharma Master as an explanation to settle the matter. I am afraid that when they ordered Bodhisattva Dharma Master and others to take action, they had already made up their minds, so they could act so resolutely. .
"He talks about compassion but does all the rubbish. This Buddhism... makes people not fond of him at all. It's so disgusting." (To be continued...)
