Chapter 206, Wukong learns Buddhism
After hearing Wukong's words, Bull Demon King showed a sneer on his face.
He raised his head slightly, looked straight into Wukong's eyes, and said with a sarcastic tone:
"Hmph, Sun Wukong, you always want to break the rules of the strong and create a world where humans and demons live in harmony.
But now you are like this, isn’t it because of your strong strength to force me to surrender? How is this different from what I did before? It’s just the oppression of the strong on the weak. What qualifications do you have to blame me? ”
When Wukong heard this, his brow frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he soon returned to peace.
He walked forward a few steps, stood in front of the Bull Demon King, looked at him firmly, and said slowly:
"Old Niu, you are wrong. Although I have made you surrender with my strength, my purpose is completely different from that of you. You
In order to satisfy one's own selfish desires, he relied on his powerful power to bully the weak, allowing countless demon races to live in fear and pain.
What you call the prey on the weak is just to satisfy your greed and ambitions. ”
Wukong paused, took a deep breath, and continued:
"And I, transforming the rivers and preventing war, is to prevent the creatures in Beijuluzhou from being destroyed by the war, and to achieve peaceful coexistence between the human race and the demon race.
What I pursue is a fair, just and harmonious world. In this world, whether it is a powerful demon clan or a weak creature, they can live and work in peace and contentment, and be treated respectfully and equally.
I use my strength to protect this ideal, to liberate those oppressed creatures, not to oppress others. ”
The Bull Demon King listened to Wukong's words and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
He recalled his actions over the years, the wars initiated to compete for resources, and the weak demon clans who were bullied by him, and couldn't help feeling guilty.
But he quickly shook his head again, kicking these thoughts out of his mind. He was unwilling to admit his mistakes, and he was even more unwilling to give up his dominance easily.
"Hmph, it sounds nice!"
The Bull Demon King snorted coldly and said,
"Do you think that you can change the current situation in this world with your own strength? This world is the prey of the weak. If you are not strong, you will be bullied.
What you call fairness and harmony is nothing more than a fantasy. ”
Wukong looked at the stubborn appearance of Bull Demon King, feeling helpless, but he did not give up.
He raised the golden cudgel again, and there was a dazzling light on it, and he said loudly:
"Old Niu, I will stick to my own path regardless of whether you believe it or not. Today, I will give you another last chance. If you are obsessed with it, don't blame me for being rude!"
The Bull Demon King remained silent.
He was experiencing intense struggles in his heart. On the one hand, it was the survival rule of the strong that he had believed in for many years, and on the other hand, it was Wukong's powerful strength and seemingly justice ideals, which made it difficult for him to make a decision for a while.
Just as the Bull Demon King was in deep thought, the Peng Demon King could not hold back. He took a step forward, showed a fierce look on his face, and said loudly:
"Brother, why are you talking about this monkey? He is so aggressive, let's fight! Even if you can't beat him, you can't lose our backbone!"
The Dragon Demon King also echoed:
"Yes, brother, we have so many brothers, are you afraid that he, Sun Wukong, will not succeed? Even if you die today, you will fight with him to the death!"
After hearing what the other demon kings said, they were ready to attack Wukong again.
Just as they were about to make some moves, Wukong suddenly spoke. His voice was not high, but it was clearly heard into everyone's ears:
"Old Niu, I remember you have a family. How long has it been since you reunited with your wife and children?"
When Bull Demon King heard this, his body suddenly shook, his originally fierce eyes softened instantly, and a look of pain and guilt appeared on his face.
He thought of his wife Princess Iron Fan, and his son Red Boy. Over the years, in order to pursue power and status, he has fought everywhere and has long ignored his family.
He could not remember how long it took for him to have a good conversation with them and had not been with them.
When the Demon King Peng and others heard Wukong's words, they were also stunned. They did not expect that Wukong would suddenly mention Bull Demon King's family.
For a moment, everyone calmed down and the atmosphere became a little solemn.
Wukong looked at Bull Demon King's reaction and knew in his heart that his words had touched his heart.
He slowly put down the golden cudgel and his tone became much softer:
"Old Niu, think about it carefully. What is the purpose of all this you have done? Is it for your family or to satisfy your desires?
Now, I will give you a chance to put down the butcher knife in your hand, return to your family, and reunite with your family, and at the same time, let the creatures in Beijuluzhou no longer suffer. ”
Bull Demon King raised his head and looked at Wukong, his eyes full of complex emotions.
He knew that Wukong's words were right. He had indeed ignored his family for power and interests over the years and hurt too many innocent creatures.
But he was still a little unwilling to ask him to give up everything about him like this.
"I need time to think about it."
The Bull Demon King finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
Wukong nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll give you time. But I hope you can make the right choice as soon as possible and don't let yourself regret it."
"In addition, if someone from your side wants to come to me these days, you must not stop it, otherwise"
The words fell.
Wukong waved his golden hoop suddenly, and the originally calm world changed instantly.
The strong wind roared, like thousands of beasts roaring, and the flying sand and stones flying all over the sky, blocking everyone's vision.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and thick lightning flashed through the sky, illuminating the dark sky like day.
Immediately afterwards, the golden cudgel in Wukong's hand, with a thousand pounds of force, smashed hard towards the ground.
"Boom--"
A deafening sound was like a roar when the world first opened. The huge impact force made the entire Beijuluzhou tremble violently, and huge cracks appeared on the ground, like the mouth of a hideous giant beast, spreading rapidly around.
In the cracks, magma gushed out, and the hot flames illuminated the entire sky, and the rolling smoke rushed straight into the sky.
The originally surging river was also influenced by this powerful force. The river water instantly flowed upwards, forming a huge water curtain, and then fell heavily, causing waves dozens of feet high.
What is even more terrifying is that under this stick, it seems that the world is about to be broken into two halves.
I saw a huge crack appeared between the sky and the earth in the distance, as if it was a scar between heaven and earth, exuding a heart-wrenching aura.
The Bull Demon King and others were so scared that their faces were pale by this earth-shaking vision. They widened their eyes and looked at everything in horror, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.
The legs of Peng Demon King, Jiao Demon King and others were even weakened and almost stood unsteadily.
"What kind of power is this?"
The Bull Demon King murmured to himself, his voice full of fear.
He never expected that Wukong's strength was so terrifying that the previous aura seemed to completely destroy them at any time as long as Wukong was willing.
"Remember what I said, I have given you, and you have many chances!" Wukong put away the golden cudgel and looked at Bull Demon King and others with calm eyes.
Wukong returned to Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai.
As expected.
But here is empty and deserted.
Wukong was silent for a moment, but soon felt something and came to a place.
But I saw a line of words:
"Wukong, if you want to go further, you may need to follow what your teacher said before, combining the Buddha of Lingshan and the Heavenly Emperor, and combining Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism into one, or you may be able to achieve success."
"Go and go, when you take that step, you will see you again."
Wukong seemed to think.
Soon, he had some thoughts in his mind.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
But before that, he felt that he had some things to deal with.
So, his body flashed, turned into a golden light, and galloped towards Beijuluzhou again.
After returning to Beijuluzhou, Wukong found a quiet place and waited silently.
Time passed day by day, and finally, after some time, he felt that the time had come, so he took the initiative to find Bull Demon King.
At this time, the Bull Demon King was also suffering these days.
Wukong's powerful strength was like a huge rock and it made him feel at ease day and night.
He kept thinking about what he had done over the years and missed his family.
When Wukong appeared in front of him, a complex emotion flashed in Bull Demon King's eyes, including awe, guilt, and a hint of relief.
Before Wukong could speak, Bull Demon King sighed slightly, took a step forward, clasped his fists at Wukong and said:
"Great Sage, I, Lao Niu, have thought a lot these days. You are right. I have done a lot of wrong things for power and ambition over the years and hurt many innocent creatures.
Now I am willing to let go of everything and surrender to you. I hope the Great Sage can give me a chance to redeem my sins and allow the creatures in Beijuluzhou to live a peaceful life. ”
Wukong looked at the Bull Demon King, nodded slightly, and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes:
"Old Niu, I'm very happy that you made the right choice. As long as you sincerely regret it, I will naturally not make things difficult for you.
From now on, you will help me protect this Beijuluzhou together so that the human and demons here can live in peace. ”
The Bull Demon King nodded quickly, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After dealing with the matter of Beijuluzhou, Wukong was ready to continue his plan.
Lin Yuan had already told him before.
Let him seek the scriptures from Lingshan and the Tao in Heaven.
To show sincerity, this behavior may have to be carried out on foot.
But there is no hurry. He first checks the road conditions and the whole world.
So Wukong rushed all the way to the Nanzhan Continent.
As soon as he stepped into this land, he felt the rich atmosphere of the world here.
He turned into a mortal, wandering around the city. Occasionally, he heard a monk here with profound Buddhist teachings and compassionate hearts to save all living beings.
Wukong's heart moved and decided to meet the monk for a while.
The moment he saw the monk, his eyes lit up slightly, and he could see at a glance that the monk was actually reincarnated from Lingshan. He had a deep Buddha nature and exuded a calm and peaceful aura on his body.
Wukong thought to himself:
"This monk has such a profound Buddhist nature. If he was asked to follow him to go to Lingshan, he might be able to help me on the way, and maybe he could understand the mystery of integrating Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in this process."
Thinking of this, Wukong no longer hesitated. His figure flashed and appeared in front of the monk in an instant.
Before the monk could react, Wukong waved his hand and a powerful force wrapped the monk and forced him to abduct him.
The monk looked at Wukong in horror, and was about to shout, but found that his voice seemed to be blocked by something and could not be made.
Wukong looked at the terrified monk and said calmly:
"Monkey, don't be afraid, my old grandson is not malicious. I took you away this time because I want you to go to Lingshan with me to seek the true scriptures and save all living beings.
When we complete this mission, we will send you back safely. ”
Immediately, Wukong untied the monk's mouth so that he could speak.
After the monk resumed his voice, it took a while before he calmed down.
He asked:
"Why do you have to go to Lingshan to get the true scriptures? This journey is difficult and dangerous, and countless demons covet it. If you are not careful, your life will be lost.
If you are just curious about Buddhism, although I am shallow in Buddhism, I can explain it to you here, why bother so much? ”
After hearing the monk's words, Wukong moved slightly, scratched his head, and said after thinking for a moment:
"My old Sun wants to go to Lingshan to obtain the true scriptures, not just curious about Buddhism. I have a great wish in my heart, wanting to create a world where humans and demons live in harmony, so that all sentient beings can be spared from suffering.
I was thinking that there might be a way to achieve my wish in this true scripture. But after hearing what you said, it would be great to be able to learn Buddhism from you first. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the monk's eyes, as if he didn't expect that Wukong had such a grand ambition.
He nodded slightly, clasped his hands and said:
"Good, good, if you sincerely seek the Buddha and are willing to explore the true meaning of Buddhism, I should teach you all my heart. I just don't know where you want to start learning?"
Wukong grinned, revealing two tiger teeth, and said:
"I don't understand those profound ways, monk, let me start with the most basics and let me first touch the way of Buddhism."
The monk smiled slightly, found a quiet grass and sat down, signaling Wukong to sit down too.
He cleared his throat and said slowly:
"Buddhism emphasizes the word "emptiness". This "emptiness" is not nothing, but an insight into the essence of all things in the world."
Wukong listened very seriously and asked his own questions from time to time, and the monks patiently answered them.
As the monk explained in an easy-to-understand manner, Wukong's understanding of Buddhism gradually became clear.
Now he.
It was not that ignorant money stubborn.
It is a Taoist Wukong who has experienced countless experiences, has great ambitions, and is even more transcendent.
For this mortal Buddhist teachings.
Of course, you will understand it soon.
