Chapter 699 Knowing Horsepower from afar (1/2)
After getting the alchemy furnace, Ding Jie ran non-stop and took Xuan Kong around the town for a long time before collecting everything.
It was obvious that Ding Jie had long wanted to explore the Buddhist Kingdom. She knew the location of all the necessities and quickly prepared everything.
Among them, the most eye-catching thing is an iron carriage.
This carriage is large in size and can store a large amount of supplies inside.
After putting the purchased materials into it, Ding Jie explained: "There is an invisible curse of the end of the Dharma everywhere in the Buddhist kingdom, so things like storage bags cannot be used. So I spent money to buy this iron horse to facilitate our travels. . This is my carefully selected iron horse. It has five horsepower. Isn’t it awesome?”
"It's pretty powerful, but what's the horsepower?"
"The power of one horse is one horsepower. The power of five horses is five horsepower."
"What about the horse?"
"Oh, he is still saying goodbye to his wife and daughter, and will be coming over later."
Although Xuankong knew that this place was extremely outrageous, he still felt extremely outrageous when he heard these words.
Taking a long breath, he asked seriously: "Why does Ma want to say goodbye?"
"We are going on a long trip, why can't we say goodbye?" Ding Jie was even more surprised than Xuan Kong, "Aren't you Buddhists too cruel? Don't deny human rights just because they are horses!"
"Do you want to listen to what you are saying."
After waiting patiently with Ding Jie for a while, Xuankong finally waited until a strong man walked towards here. As he walked, he said to the woman behind him: "Madam, if I can't come back, you should find a good family to marry." Go! ”
The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly: "You are such a badass, only you can bear my temper. If you don't come back, I will raise the child and then look for you."
"As you said...I will definitely come back. I'll be back soon. It's not good for my employer to wait for too long."
The woman turned her head three times with each step, while the burly man waved impatiently to the other person to leave quickly, but stopped and stared for a long time after the other person turned around and left, until the other person's figure became smaller and smaller, and he walked towards the iron carriage until he merged into the crowd.
After exchanging vouchers with Ding Jie, the man said: "Sir, I'm here, would you like to see the quality?"
"No need." Ding Jie said immediately, "Everyone knows that Brother Bai Longma is a first-class horse. There is no need to test. Let's go."
"Okay!" Bai Longma nodded seriously, then looked at Xuan Kong and said, "Brother, why don't you get in the car?"
"Wait, where's the horse?"
"That's me." Bai Longma nodded and said.
Facing Xuan Kong's surprised gaze, he walked forward, took a deep breath, lifted the carriage's railings, then looked at the two of them and said, "Let's go."
"No, wait! What does this mean! What is going on!"
Hearing Xuankong's cry, Bai Longma looked at Ding Jie doubtfully: "Little sister Ding, there is something wrong with your helpers."
"Country people are like this. They have never seen the world, so just get used to it. Okay, Xuan Kong, come up, let's set off."
Xuan Kong sat on the carriage in a daze, and watched helplessly as the white dragon horse dragged the carriage and rushed forward like lightning. Rushing all the way to the entrance of the town, he stretched out his hand behind him, and Ding Jie sent out a bright lantern, which was hung on his head by a white dragon horse.
"That's a steady light. Green means there's no problem with the route, white means you're going the wrong way, and red means you can write a suicide note." Ding Jie explained, "If you see a flashing light, it means the white dragon horse is hungry and needs to supplement its food."
"I really want to ask now, why is the White Dragon Horse a human?"
"Oh, you have been struggling with this. When the true Buddha left, he not only left behind the curse of the end of the Dharma, but also various precepts. Do you know what the Buddhist precepts are, right?"
Xuankong nodded: "I know, first, don't kill, second, don't steal, third, don't engage in sexual misconduct, fourth, don't lie, and fifth, don't drink alcohol. In addition, different places also have different precepts, which are regulations that Buddhist monks must abide by."
"If you know it, you can say that here in the Buddhist country, the precepts cannot be violated, otherwise it will cause pain in the least and death in the worst. And here there is the precept not to torture animals. Therefore, not only cannot eat the meat of animals, but also enslave animals. No. ”
Xuankong thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's true. After all, all living beings are equal. Treating animals well is treating ourselves well."
"But animals are still needed in some places, such as carriages on the road. Then someone suddenly thought that if animals cannot be enslaved, then we can enslave people! When I thought of this idea, I suddenly felt that the world was vast. So, manpower mills, manpower farming cattle , human-powered carriages have sprung up, and now they have expanded back to the Demon Gate.”
Xuankong was stunned, but Ding Jie was not done yet.
Pulling Xuan Kong along, she said excitedly: "And our Demon Sect has discovered that there are so many benefits to replacing animals with people! For example, people can practice, but animals rarely can. People will find food by themselves, and animals must be fed. And It costs less to see a doctor when a person is sick, but it costs more to treat an animal. So, not everything in Buddhism is bad. Isn’t this a good idea? ”
Xuankong was shaken to the point of collapse, but he didn't know what to say.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
Covering his head, he wanted to retort and protect the image of Buddhism, but he couldn't say anything.
After all, what Ding Jie said makes sense!
Thinking back to the past, he remembered that one of his senior brothers once said that he once saw a cattle working in the field. The old farmer walked slowly beside him and urged the cattle with a whip from time to time. But in fact, the farm cow is the reincarnation of the old farmer's father, and after the old farmer dies, he will be reincarnated as a farm cow and be whipped by his son.
The senior brother originally wanted to use this story to illustrate reincarnation, cause and effect, and the importance of being kind to animals. His words were full of compassion.
But thinking about it now, Xuan Kong felt that this story was too ironic.
If you don't let the old farmers use oxen to plow the fields, then the old farmers will have to plow the fields themselves. A mortal could not work as hard as two or three hours a day as a plowing ox, and he would starve due to lack of food. In the end, he had no choice but to sell his land to the temple and his family became sharecroppers.
After that, the field was sold to other people in exchange for three gold grains, and was sold to the old farmer and his family.
What kind of mercy is this? It's clearly using cattle to eat people and seize the fields.
And the old farmers don't have to worry about being whipped by their descendants in the next life, because they have no descendants.
This is really a happy event for everyone.
This part of the game is just a joke in the eyes of others, but in Xuan Kong's eyes it is a sharp blade that can hurt people.
Bailong was full of stereotypes when making this game, but stereotypes are different from rumors because they have really done similar things.
I didn't feel anything before, but looking at this experience through the Kyushu monks, Xuankong only felt that it was full of sarcasm, and his voice was full of blood.
And this is just the beginning.
Master, what on earth did you see that made you vomit blood?
