Chapter 448: Debate
Deep in Jinchan Temple, in the small Buddhist hall.
The ancient Buddha with blue lanterns and the clouds of incense lingering there.
Two young novice monks, one on the left and one on the right, sat cross-legged on the futon. One looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, and the other looked to be only seven or eight years old.
These two young novice monks are the two most powerful and highest-status monks in Jinchan Temple. They are Huijue, the leader in preaching, and Huikong, the leader in precepts.
"Senior brother."
Huijue said lightly: "Now, is it time for Huixin to step into a trap?"
"A trap?" Huikong smiled slightly: "If he wants to repent, If you want to return to the right path, it is not a trap, but a place of rebirth."
Huijue shook his head: "He is not wrong, so why should he repent? He is on the right path, so why should he return?"
Huikong still maintained a faint smile, turned his head and glanced at his junior brother, but did not continue the topic: "Junior brother, do you still remember the incident when Long Dabei broke into the temple?"
"Of course." Huijue continued this topic naturally: "He was once a close friend with you, so after he went crazy, he said that your way of saving people from the world was evil. He wanted to kill everyone around you and let you Let’s see what real ‘rescuing people’ means, hoping to change your mind and make you his comrade.”
Huikong asked with a smile: “In your opinion, what Long Dabei’s thoughts are. "How?"
"Haha." Huijue also smiled: "It's just crazy talk."
"Really?"
Huikong said. Calmly said: "Although what he said is crazy, you and I both know that it is the way he firmly believes in. For the sake of the truth in his heart, he will give everything, even his life... Now, do you still think it's ridiculous?"
The smile on Hui Jue's face faded.
He also turned his head and looked directly at his senior brother: "Senior brother, what do you mean by this?"
"If you were Long Dabei, you wouldn't feel that you were wrong, let alone I think all this is ridiculous." Huikong said slowly, "But that doesn't mean you are right." At this point, Huijue understood.
He smiled softly: "I see... Senior brother still wants to say, Junior brother, I was wrong, and Huixin was also wrong."
Huikong said softly: "It's not that you are wrong, but the way you act should be in line with the Buddha's law and principles. The Buddha's law says, 'Don't do any evil and do all the good'. If you do evil deeds and seek good results, , Isn’t it the opposite?”
When Huijue heard this, he looked calm and responded calmly: “Brother, everything in the world is either black or white? Can senior brother understand this kind of responsibility? "
Huikong said leisurely: "Junior brother, responsibility should not be based on means, but should be guided by compassion, wisdom and right views. If these three are missing, it may be difficult to say "The right way."
Huijue's smile was confident and magnanimous: "The ways are different, and we don't agree with each other... Even if there are thousands of people, I will go with what Hui Xin and I are doing... What's more, senior brother, could it be you?" Don’t you want to realize the realm of selfless gods and save the world?”
Hearing this, Huikong frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed: “Junior brother, Buddhism emphasizes karma and retribution, I don’t feel happy at all... I hope you will With wisdom, you can turn back as soon as possible to avoid suffering the consequences in the future.”
Huijue raised his head and looked at the Buddha statue behind the sacred case, his eyes were firm but indifferent: "Brother, I have my own sense of proportion... Everything I do is for the sake of Jinchan Temple, you don't have to worry too much."
Huikong Xin Knowing that further persuasion would be of no use, he stopped talking and just said: "Buddhism is boundless, and you will find a safe place when you turn around. Junior brother, you can do it yourself."
"..."
Huijue stopped talking and said slowly. He stood up slowly and walked outside the Buddhist hall.
But when he reached the door of the Buddhist hall, he stopped again and looked back at Huikong's back: "Brother, actually... with your ability, if you want to stop Huixin and me, it will only take a moment to decide the matter. ”
"Junior brother."
Huikong did not look back, but said softly: "You and I entered the temple at the same year, and have been on the path of cultivation for decades since we were little. , Senior brother, how can I bear to watch you fall into the devil's path?"
"I still hope... that you can repent and make up for the sins you have committed."
He looked up at the Buddha statue. , under the shadow of the green lamp and candle, the face of the Buddha statue was extremely compassionate and calm, as if in His eyes, all the sufferings and disasters in this world are normal... But His fingers that lightly grasped the lotus nectar slightly bent and stretched forward, but it was heartfelt. I can't bear it, but I pity the world. "Junior brother."
Huikong said slowly: "Look back, senior brother, I don't want to have to kill you with my own hands one day."
This sentence was already very serious, but Huijue still just smiled.
"Senior Brother..." He said softly: "Perhaps over the years, everyone in the world will bow at my feet, praying for the realm of bliss and painlessness, and praying for the true Buddha on the other side of the road...Senior Brother, maybe when we get there... One day, you will become one of the people in the world."
After that, he turned around and pushed the door open without waiting for an answer.
Huikong still looked up at the Buddha statue, his eyes complicated and difficult to understand.
...
In the small courtyard of Xiangyanzhai, Hui Xin stood leaning against the wall, breathing heavily. He had broken away from the previous state of taut muscles and restored his lean and handsome appearance... Of course, his current appearance His appearance is definitely not handsome.
The deep scars all over his body, his twisted arms, half of his cheek with a large piece of flesh torn off... all made him look embarrassed and terrifying.
After experiencing the phantom formation, being weakened by magic weapons, fighting fiercely with two powerful cavemen, and being trapped and attacked by Qi Xianfang, he became much weaker, and then he fought fiercely with Hui Yuan...
No, not just Huiyuan.
Although the two immortals Xuan Yi and Zhu Sha were severely injured, they still helped Hui Yuan and Hui Xin to some extent during the fierce battle.
Right now, the two of them have no strength to fight anymore, and they are weakly lying aside.
Elder Pan was also exhausted. She could no longer maintain the Tai Chi diagram. With the support of Qiu Chan and others, she went to a corner of the small courtyard and sat down, coughing weakly.
And Hui Yuan, who had just fought with Hui Xin... didn't look too good either.
After all, he only has the second realm of Cave Heaven, which is two realms away from his senior brother. More importantly, Huixin has already experienced a shelling, and in a sense, his strength has made a qualitative leap...
Therefore, at this time, Huiyuan was kneeling on one knee not far away... His whole body was covered with terrible palm prints, and his body was like a kite that had been torn apart by strong winds and waves all night, with countless broken bones. The roots and even the side of the head collapsed to a small extent.
If an ordinary person suffers an injury like his, even if he does not die, he may not be able to escape the fate of being disabled.
"Senior brother..."
Huiyuan said softly: "It's time to turn around..."
Huixin opened her mouth, but no words came out, but words came out of her mouth. A lot of blood came out.
After spitting out the mouthful of blood, he said in a hoarse voice: "Junior brother, we still don't know where we will end up between you and me."
"Don't tell him, it's useless."
In the shadows, Fu Qingzhou walked out slowly.
He looked at Hui Xin and said calmly: "If he wants to repent, he has already repented... At this point, he is still stubbornly resisting. Why should such a person argue with him?"
Huixin slowly raised her eyes and looked at Fu Qingzhou: "Donor Fu, you..."
Halfway through his words, Fu Qingzhou suddenly moved!
He turned into a bolt of lightning and shot at Huixin as fast as lightning, swung his long knife, and hammered hard at Huixin's chest and abdomen with the handle of the long knife!
This blow was not entirely due to his strength. There was a faint black smoke attached to the handle of the knife.
With a muffled sound, the handle of the knife hit Huixin's chest and abdomen, and the black energy quickly spread throughout Huixin's body along the impact point.
"You..."
After all, Huixin still couldn't finish the rest of her words. His eyelids gradually drooped, and he slumped down along the courtyard wall. Finally, he fell to the ground and passed out.
