Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 249 That Evil Incident Has Happened

The powers of the Three Realms may have their own schemes.

But at present, it is not within the consideration of Fa Hai's master and apprentice. The mortal affairs in the world are the most capable of disturbing the mind.

Fa Hai probably understands why those bodhisattvas who have clearly achieved the "right fruit" and the Buddhas hide in their own ashrams one by one and cannot come out.

Out of sight out of mind.

Take Bajie’s gossip as an example: The Hinayana only cares about crossing over to settle its own affairs, leaving the sea of ​​suffering and never stepping into the turmoil of the world of mortals; while the Mahayana is like Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha, who know what they can’t do and do it, and they can’t cross it. Even if all sentient beings are exhausted, you must not detach yourself.

This seems to be the difference between the Mahayana and the Hinayana. The Mahayana saves all living beings, while the Hinayana ferryes oneself to the shore.
Although these words are a bit rough, and the explanation of the difference between Mahayana and Hinayana is also perfunctory, it seems to be reasonable.

As for these Buddhist theories, Fa Hai put them aside for the time being. Fa Hai thought that since the Buddha is a Buddha, why should there be Mahayana and Hinayana? How can these distracting thoughts confuse the state of mind.

Wukong went to heaven.

And when they escorted these bandits to the government, they encountered another difficult problem, which is why Fa Hai suddenly sighed above.

Because there was still some distance to go to the government, and it was already getting late, I stayed at a family in front of me, and this family was the home of the second head.

The bandit leader did not lie, he never killed anyone, and the money he robbed was generally distributed to the brothers on the spot, and more than 30 people relied on him to eat and drink, which was not a small expense. Besides, many robbers still had Young and old, there is not much left after being divided into everyone's hands, and there is indeed not much left after spending a meal.

Fahai is good at debating the good and evil of people's hearts, but what if something goes wrong in this world, causing some good people to go astray and do evil things?

At this moment, Fahai seemed to understand what Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said to him—"Sanzang, you just need to kill demons and eliminate demons, and leave the work of transforming sentient beings to the poor monk."

Perhaps since then, the Bodhisattva has foreseen this scene. With his jealous nature, he has foreseen such troubles and entanglements, so he can only look for troubles for himself.

The fact is the same, even for a certain moment, the thought of regretting meddling in such a nosy matter was born in his heart.

"Amitabha."

Realizing that there was something wrong with his state of mind, Fa Hai immediately recited the Buddha's name silently in his heart, and quickly calmed down.

The group headed by the big master may still need to be probated, but the second master
Based on the interrogation testimonies of Bajie and Wujing alone, it can be concluded that this is an unforgivable crime.

They have been looting here for a year, and no one from the government has ever come to arrest and suppress them. It is the second leader who will always lead a few of his confidants to chase after the passers-by after the first leader releases them. The thing. This is a reason.

Then hide the second batch of goods obtained at home.

In the past, they were numerous and powerful, and ordinary passers-by would naturally lose their money and avoid disaster when they saw them. Unexpectedly, a villain appeared from among the bandits, and they still couldn't escape the catastrophe.

The main road is going westward, and there is a manor house at the north end of the road, which is the house of the second head.

Up to this point in his first walk, he was unwilling to take another step, so it was Bajie who kicked his ass before obediently submitting.

"Since you know it's embarrassing, you shouldn't be doing such a murderous business. Wait for the government to sentence you. Only your old parents are left to suffer. Why bother?"

"Holy Monk. Holy Monk, please forgive me." He repeatedly kowtowed to the Holy Monk, and only said: "If I die, no one in my family will be filial, and I will kill my father and mother for no reason. I beg the Holy Monk to show mercy."

Bajie only said in a cold voice: "Evil is rewarded with evil, when you kill someone, why didn't you think about those innocent children?"

Not long after, the movement outside also disturbed the family members, attracting an old man to open the door. Seeing the thieves numbering 30 tied their hands, and seeing the battle outside the door, I was shocked. I also saw my son who was useless , Kneeling on the ground and begging, my heart tightened immediately.

About guess what happened.

It was also because of the deep affection, so the old man pretended not to see it, and asked tremblingly, "Where did the monk come from, and why did he tie up so many people?"

Seeing that he turned a blind eye to him, Fahai didn't expose it, he just said: "The poor monk is an imperial envoy of the Eastern Tang Dynasty who went to the Western Paradise to seek scriptures. On the way, he met this group of robbers who robbed their property and killed them, so they asked a few disciples to take it. It was supposed to be sent to the government, but it was night, and I happened to be passing by Baofang, so I came to Tan Mansion to bid for a night, and I will leave early tomorrow morning."

With a dull expression, the old man said: "You monks, how could you catch these more than 30 robbers?"

Seeing the old man moaning, Bajie shouted from behind: "Of course I'm the one who's going to make a move, and it's easy to catch."

The old man suddenly raised his head and saw their ugly faces, he hurriedly turned around and walked in, exclaiming: "They are not human, they are some goblins!"

While the old man was speaking, he also closed the door, obviously he didn't want them to spend the night here.

Fahai didn't force it when he saw him, and it wasn't a big deal to sleep out for one night. He came here to see the elders and see their son for the last time.

Some openings were not opened in this way. The so-called fault of not raising the godfather. The end of the second head of the family today may have nothing to do with the daily teachings of the two elders.

The old man closed the door, hurried to the bedroom, changed his wife, and called his daughter-in-law.

"Disaster, disaster!"

The old man spoke eagerly, and said: "That evil thing happened, and now he was caught and revealed by the imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty who thought he was going west to seek scriptures, and now he is going to turn him over to the government."

"Oh!" The old woman was feeling sad at that time, and cried: "I knew it. I knew he was hanging around with those dubious people all day long, so I knew he didn't learn well. Now that he is taken by someone, yes My old lady has a hard life. After living such an old age, in the end, there is no one to take care of her."

The daughter-in-law embraced her mother-in-law and said anxiously: "Mother-in-law, the head of the family is useless, and you have your own daughter-in-law to take care of you."

Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried bitterly again.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's because I failed to discipline him well that this disaster happened." The old man sighed, and said: "Now that we have achieved such a result, I have no one to blame."

The old woman cried for a while, and suddenly said: "You said that the person who caught him was a great Tang monk. Why don't you beg? The monks are merciful, so why should he kill them all?"

The old man was taken aback, and said: "They said they would come to our house to spend the night. I saw some of their disciples were vicious. They didn't look like humans, but monsters. So I closed the door and didn't let them enter the village."

"What kind of appearance is it?"

The old man said: "I can't see it clearly. It looks like a Yaksha with a pig's face and a handsome one in brocade. I think the Tang monk was able to come here from the Tang Dynasty because of these three protections."

"Not good!" The daughter-in-law suddenly exclaimed.
