A few days later.
A group of people passed by a stream, but not far ahead, they saw a village next to the stream with flames rising into the sky and screams. The strange laughter that sounded from time to time in the village made Xuanzang's hair stand on end and his heart suddenly stood up. Sinking to the bottom of the lake.
"Looking at this situation, there must be thieves committing murder and plundering the village. Wukong, Bajie, and Wujing, please go and see and stop the trouble."
After regaining consciousness, Xuan Zang said quickly.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing both looked at Sun Wukong and saw that his feet were rooted to the ground like old trees, unmoving, so they stopped in place and did not move.
"Didn't you hear me?" Xuanzang asked loudly.
Sun Wukong scratched his ears and asked: "Thieves are also human beings. Robbery is their job. They rely on their own work to make a living. Is there anything wrong with that? You said they kill people and two countries fight against each other. There are more people, why don’t you go to various countries to persuade peace?”
Xuan Zang was so angry that he pointed at him and was speechless.
Qin Yao watched this scene quietly, thoughtfully.
The question about Xuanzang’s character that he had previously wondered about seemed to have the answer at this moment.
Xuanzang in the chapter Conquering Demons has great love and is kind and compassionate; while Xuanzang in Conquering Demons is sinister and hypocritical, and he is an unscrupulous actor, so his mantra is - I'll put on my makeup first.
Since the two stories are known to be connected plots, the main reason for Xuanzang's dramatic change in temperament was these three disciples.
Xuan Zang was just an ordinary person. He relied on Buddha's cheating to conquer Sun Wukong, not his own ability to subdue the King of Demons.
On the way westward, the only thing he could rely on was the whip given by the Buddha and the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra.
You can see from the current state of the three demons that they lack respect for Xuanzang, let alone obey his orders.
In this situation, in order to manage these three goblins and confirm his authority as a leader, Xuanzang could only abandon his innocence, put on a mask called an actor, and manage by beating, scolding, humiliating, and bluffing. Team, work hard to keep the team together.
But if you use this method too much, your mind will naturally become distorted, and it is not surprising that you will become a hypocritical actor.
This is in line with the saying: People will change, and they will eventually become what they hate...
Fortunately, Xuanzang still has a friend by his side. , a friend who can really take care of things.
Therefore, he did not need to take out the whip and beat Sun Wukong to make the three demons obey. He only needed to look at the figure beside him with pleading eyes, and there was a way to solve this dilemma.
"Xiang Liu, go and have a look." Qin Yao pulled out a three-pointed, two-edged knife from his ear and threw it in the air.
The long knife kept flipping in the air, and finally turned into a monster with the body of a hydra. It quickly climbed into the screaming village and knocked out a bandit with a sharp knife. Like falling to the ground.
"Monsters, monsters!"
Some robbers panicked and struggled to get up.
Then, Xiang Liu crawled out, and countless tiny electric currents were emitted from his eighteen eyes, which shocked the more than thirty bandits until their whole bodies went limp and they collapsed to the ground.
"Whoosh."
Seeing Qin Yao open his right hand, Xiang Liu suddenly turned into a black light and fell into his hand in the form of a mini knife.
"All donors, put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately." Xuanzang came to the middle of the group of thieves, clasped his hands and said sincerely.
"Ding."
A burly robber slammed the long knife in his hand to the ground, stared at the bull's eyes, and said angrily: "I put down the butcher knife, you let me Become a Buddha.”
Xuanzang's face froze and he said quickly: "The Buddha mentioned here refers to converting to Buddhism and starting to do good deeds and becoming a Buddha. It does not mean to immediately achieve Buddhahood."
The robber sneered: "So , what if you are playing word games with me here? , put down the butcher's knife, then I'm afraid he will become a ghost before he becomes a Buddha, and he will still be the most pitiful starving ghost."
Watching Xuanzang being criticized, Sun Wukong. He laughed unbridled and loudly, and this laughter pierced Xuanzang's heart like a steel needle.
Xuan Zang subconsciously touched the whip on his waist, feeling angry inside.
"Xuan Zang, calm down." Qin Yao said in a solemn voice.
Xuan Zang took a deep breath, put down his right hand, and looked at the group of thieves: "Why do you do this kind of killing? Do you have any difficulties?"
"Of course there are. ." The burly robber spoke loudly.
Xuan Zang breathed a sigh of relief.
If there is a reason, he has reason to let these people go.
"What are your difficulties?" Shaoyan, he asked.
The burly robber: "The money can be earned quickly by plundering, and it's not hard work. If you have the ability to make money, why bother farming with your back turned to the sky?"
Xuan Zang: "... "
"Pfft." Sun Wukong couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
Of course he understood Xuanzang's desire to save these bandits, but they didn't appreciate it at all.
"Is it funny?" Xuanzang twitched his cheek and asked Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong slowly suppressed his smile and said expressionlessly: "Master, giving good thoughts to good people is good. Giving good thoughts to evil people is not called good, it is called evil.
< br>You want to save them and become Buddhas, so let me ask you, what about those people who were killed by them? Even if you can save them, are they willing to die? ”
Xuan Zangwu? Word.
"Puff puff puff puff puff..." Just as he was gradually falling into a vicious circle of self-doubt, nine flying swords suddenly rose across the sky and killed all the robbers on the ground.
"Brother Kong Kong." Xuanzang raised his eyes.
Qin Yao held up the sword box, put the Nine Swords of Emptiness back into the sword box, and said lightly: "Xuan Zang, don't make things complicated. They killed people and committed karma. , then kill him.
Buddha. Doesn’t the door talk about cause and effect? This cause and effect is that those who kill people will always be punished, and good and evil will eventually be punished. It’s not that the time has not come yet.” Pushing it aside, it instantly makes the spiritual platform clear and clear, and the thoughts are clear.
“Thank you, brother Kong Kong.”
Qin Yao waved his hand: "You're welcome, people, there are always times when you are in trouble, just think about it."
At the same time, the three demons looked at each other, and Sun Wukong secretly sent a message: "If you want to be free, first If you want to break up the gang, Master will do it. If you want Master to die, you must first solve the problem of Kong. Let’s discuss how to kill Kong.”
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looked at each other and saw each other almost at the same time. The heartbeat in the eyes.
Except Xuanzang, no one in their team was willing to leave their hometown to learn Buddhist scriptures.
The next evening. The sky is filled with red clouds.
Xuan Zang was riding on the white horse, stretched out his hand to press his hungry belly, and looked sideways: "Brother Kong Kong, do you still have dry food?"
On the side of the white horse, lying flat on the ground Qin Yao, who was holding the flying sword, sat up, shook his head and said: "No more."
Although he could exchange food through the system, he was not Xuanzang's apprentice and had no obligation to provide him with food and drink.
"Wukong, go and prepare some vegetarian food." Xuanzang said.
Sun Wukong shook his head repeatedly: "Master, look at my dignity. Let alone begging for food, no, it's alms. Even if I just appear in front of an ordinary person, it can scare people."
"Then you can pick some wild fruits to satisfy your hunger, right?" Xuanzang asked again.
Sun Wukong: "I don't know which wild fruits can be eaten and which wild fruits cannot be eaten. What if I picked a few poisonous fruits and poisoned you to death? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?"< br>
"Xuan Zang, whip him." Qin Yao suddenly sent a message secretly.
Xuan Zang was stunned for a moment, then he pulled out the soft whip from his waist and struck Sun Wukong hard with a snap.
"Ah!"
Sun Wukong was immediately whipped away by the power of the whip, fell dozens of meters away, and twitched on the ground.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing both shrank their necks and remained silent.
Not long after.
Sun Wukong left on a cloud, Xuanzang asked Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing to look at the white horse, while he pulled Qin Yao to a hill, facing the evening wind, and asked doubtfully: "Brother Kong Kong, Why didn’t you let me whip Sun Wukong before, but you let me whip him just now?”
"Don't keep asking, think about the reasons yourself." Qin Yao said.
Xuan Zang pondered for a moment and said, "It was because he did nothing wrong before, but this time it was because he did something wrong?"
"Inaccurate." Qin Yao said: "Think again."
He knew that he would not be able to complete the journey, so he wanted to help Xuanzang hone the team before he left.
In this process, the most important thing is to improve Xuanzang's personal leadership ability.
If Xuanzang's personal leadership skills still fail to improve, then he can only follow the old path of Xuanzang in Conquering Demons, managing the team through intimidation, threats, whipping, deception, and hypocrisy.
In this case, the master and the disciples in the Demon Subduing Chapter were able to work together in the end. It can only be said that the aura of Xuanzang’s protagonist has been greatly expanded...
This kind of illogical thing It's harmless in a story, but it's basically impossible to happen in reality.
Unless everyone from Sun Wukong to Zhu Bajie to Sha Wujing has Stockholm Syndrome, they will have emotions for the perpetrators.
Xuan Zang racked his brains again and finally said helplessly: "I can't think of any other more accurate reason."
Qin Yao exhaled and said: "The reason I didn't let you whip him last time was because he laughed at you and you were in a state of extreme anger. If you did it to him, you would do it with anger subjectively.
Once you If you move this hand, it will leave him with the feeling of having a small belly and chicken intestines. People will not really respect a person with a small belly and chicken intestines, let alone a naughty monkey like Sun Wukong.
At that time, you hit him. He can still laugh You. Because your actions are indeed laughable.
But this time, he has made it clear that he will not listen to you. If you don’t hit him and let him know that this is wrong, Then he will definitely become Benjia in the future. Li. Do you understand what I said?"
Xuan Zang was silent for a long time and concluded: "You can beat him, but it cannot be to vent your anger. There must be a more legitimate reason, at least to convince him."
"That's right." Qin Yao nodded: "After he comes back, tonight, you go to him again, explain the reasons to him, and tell him your heart. Although he may not accept it for a while, but as time goes by, he will definitely There will be changes."
Xuan Zang nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you for teaching me this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have. After experiencing this kind of thing, but still having to take three unruly monsters on the road, it makes me feel dizzy just thinking about it."
Qin Yao said leisurely: "You must learn more, think more, and grow up as soon as possible. Get up and cultivate your charisma, otherwise, you will have to eat rice with uncooked rice after I leave..."
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Sun Wukong flew back on somersault clouds, landed in the middle of the crowd, and said: "I haven't transformed into a vegetarian, and when people see me like this, they are so scared that they don't even dare to open the door. Even if I transform I look like an ordinary person, and people say I don’t look like a monk, but more like a liar.”
Xuanzang: "..."
Maybe it was because he was extremely hungry, but the anger in his heart was rising. But thinking of Qin Yao's explanation, he stopped his anger and said, "Well, if that's the case, I can't blame you."
Sun Wukong was stunned, but he didn't expect Xuanzang to meet. That's the answer.
In fact, with his methods, it is easy to transform into a monk, but he refuses to transform. He just wants to starve the monk and force him to lose his temper and become angry.
He was dissatisfied, resentful, and manic, and wanted to turn this monk into this kind of person and suffer with him.
But...why is this guy so generous?
Why is he so generous?
"Take us to the nearest human gathering place." Xuanzang said warmly.
Sun Wukong pursed his lips and turned around: "Thirty miles southwest of here, there is a troupe called What Country. It is quite lively now."
"Please come here Lead the way." Xuanzang smiled.
Sun Wukong nodded, flew at a low altitude and walked at the forefront, secretly asking Zhu Bajie: "Old Zhu, did this monk take the wrong medicine?"
Zhu Bajie sent a message and said: "Why did he take the wrong medicine?"
“Can’t he see that I deliberately didn’t transform into a vegetarian?”
"I must have seen it." Zhu Bajie said: "But is it useful to accuse you?"
Sun Wukong frowned: "This is not a question of whether it is useful or not. When people are angry, Usually they don’t consider whether it’s useful or not, they just criticize and even scold.”
"After you left, Young Master Kong stayed alone with him for at least one stick of incense. He should have given instructions to the monk," Zhu Bajie said.
Sun Wukong turned his head and glanced at the figure on the flying sword next to the white horse, and his mood was very complicated for a moment.
This is indeed something the other party can do.
From the fact that the other party left early before he could get out of trouble, it can be seen that this guy survives by his brain, not by force.
Compared with him, Xuanzang, who was just starting out, was too young. But precisely because of his presence, Xuanzang is not so easy to manipulate...
Soon after, a group of people came to a theater troupe under the moonlight. They saw countless colored lights hanging on the wooden walls, illuminating the huge courtyard.
In the yard, dwarfs in colorful clothes were tossing and turning on wooden barrels, a big man in commoner raised his hand to swallow a sword, a strong man with a big belly and painted with women's makeup raised a stone lock, and the uncle had a big breast and a beard that was both male and female. Holding a red paper umbrella, shouting loudly...
At a glance, everyone here is strange and weird, like evil spirits.
Xuan Zang was secretly frightened and looked sideways at Qin Yao who put away his flying sword and asked: "Brother Kong Kong, are you sure this is a human theater troupe?" (End of this chapter)
