Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 632: This disciple is afraid of being beaten to death by you; is this the only reason?

Fahai already knew about the fact that Bajie broke the meat and meat precepts at that time. The reason why he never mentioned it and did not punish Bajie for it. This shows that the matter actually happened for a reason, and Bajie broke the meat and fish precepts. The matter was approved by Fahai.

Fahai himself was a killing monk, and because the consciousness-only teaching focused on cultivating the mind, he was not too strict in controlling his disciples in terms of precepts.

The Living Buddha Daoji monk who practiced in Lingyin Temple at that time, wasn't it just that "wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha sat in the heart", but who can question his compassion and Buddhism?

Perhaps, it was only him who could never forgive himself.

This is how the world is. You don’t know how to cherish something when you have it. It’s often only after you lose it that you regret it.

Whether it's love, family or friendship, this is actually the case.

For Fahai now, apart from the sentient beings in the three realms, the first thing that ranks first in his heart is his disciples, especially the four disciples who followed him all the way to the West to learn scriptures.

Therefore, when something unexpected happened to them, no one was more nervous than him. His Buddhist practice and the cultivation of two eminent monks made it difficult for people to see the joy and anger on his face.

Even Wu Jing, who has always been with his master, can hardly judge his true thoughts from his external appearance.

However, some small habits can still be felt.

Just like just now, because he couldn't get feedback from the master, he didn't dare to look up and look at the master's expression. Bajie, who was kneeling on the ground and shivering, knew some of the master's temperament and habits, and he also "did something wrong". Therefore, it is inevitable that the mind will be unbalanced.

But then when he heard the master's words, his heart finally dropped into his stomach.

After all, when dealing with these disciples, the tone of anger and non-anger is relatively obvious.

In fact, when it comes to trust and tacit understanding, among these disciples, Wukong is undoubtedly ranked first; if we want to say who makes Fa Hai worry the most, it must be Tui Wu Jing first; and Xiao Bailong, on the other hand, Fahai is the most diligent disciple in his heart.

But when it comes to who is the most favored, it is undoubtedly the second disciple with the most unusual heel, Zhu Bajie.

Wukong was conceived by the Immortal Stone that patched the sky with Empress Nuwa. Before meeting him, the Lingming Stone Monkey, one of the four monkeys in the world, had already learned the skills of heaven and earth from his mentor, and earned his fortune with it. The title of "Monkey King, Monkey King", even though he was suppressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, a riot in the Heavenly Palace still made him famous in the three realms.

Xiao Bailong was born in the West Sea, and his own talent is extraordinary. His eldest brother is the best master in the world, and his brother-in-law is the powerful Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian in the three realms. It can be said that with such a lowly background, his future will be bright sooner or later. It's just that before I met myself, I was a lot of slack in practice.

Not to mention the origin of Wu Jing, he is the "genuine" Buddhist scripture seeker who was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi and left behind nine generations of resentful beings to take form. His understanding of Buddhism is even better than his own.

Only Bajie, the "little pig demon", had an ordinary background and had no special abilities. Even though he received some gifts from Marshal Tianpeng before his death, compared to the other brothers, he was That said, that doesn't even close the gap in origin.

This is also the reason why for a while, Bajie chose to "fuck off" on the way westward. In fact, it was not that he was too lazy. It was that he felt frustrated because he could not see corresponding rewards for his efforts.

This was a matter of state of mind and should not be taken lightly, so Fahai did not force him too much and allowed him to practice day and night with several fellow disciples. As long as he completed his homework for the day, he would be able to move around freely.

One-touch relaxation is the most suitable practice method for Bajie.

But sometimes, when Bajie saw his brothers practicing hard one by one, he felt really sorry and was not allowed to join the practice. But over time, he looked away.

I am an ordinary pig, I am lucky enough to be a disciple of my master, so why should I compete with these "monsters"?

Isn’t it true that Chunxin can’t get along with himself?

Having figured out this problem, Bajie's life became more and more comfortable on the way westward. Of course, he did not fall behind in his daily practice and Dharma. Under the arrangement of his master, he continued to live step by step. Practice in a planned and step-by-step manner.

Not only Master Fahai, but also his brothers and sisters also pampered Bajie along the way.

Although Wukong often fights with Bajie, but really speaking, the relationship between the two brothers is really good. For the time being, let’s just ask Xiaobailong and Wujing. Do you dare to call Wukong that "plagued monkey" or "Bima Wen"?

When the two of them met the Great Sage, they always respectfully greeted him as "elder brother."

However, Bajie just raised his head at this moment. He still knelt in front of Yunjing and confessed his mistake to the master in a deep voice: "Master, since this disciple has violated the precepts, please punish him."

"Ok?"

However, when he heard Fahai snort, Bajie, who had just calmed down, was immediately startled. His eyes stared blankly at the master, wondering if he had said something wrong.

"My master must punish you." Fahai's eyes were a little harsh at this moment, which made Bajie dare not look directly at him for a moment, "but it's not because you broke the precept of eating meat."

Wu Jing on the side was actually winking at the second senior brother, but Bajie was almost entirely focused on his master and had no time to look at junior brother Gu Sha's eyes. At this moment, when he heard his master's words, he was even more panicked. I don't know how to respond, and I seem to have no idea.

In fact, from Wu Jing's point of view, the second senior brother has always been very smart. Although the senior brother often calls the second senior brother a fool, the second senior brother can gain something every time he has an idea. It is even better than studying the Buddha's teachings ten times by himself.

Therefore, the master taught the second senior brother the method of Zen practice, and it was really in harmony with the second senior brother. Since then, the second senior brother's cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds.

Finally, before arriving at Lingshan, the practice paid off.

"Tell me yourself, when did you break the precept." Fahai was also quite patient with Bajie.

"This is my disciple." Bajie muttered for a long time, and then he suddenly realized why the master's attitude had changed. "Three years ago." "Three years." Fahai said in a deep voice: "Since it is I broke the precepts three years ago, but why didn’t you come and apologize to me when I broke the precepts three years ago?”

Bajie was speechless. What could he say?

Said: Is this disciple afraid of being beaten to death by you?

But Bajie was indeed afraid of Master's punishment. In the days when he first broke the precepts, he was in constant panic. He couldn't sleep well all day long. Sometimes even when he fell asleep, he would dream of Master coming to arrest him. Throw yourself into the flames of the Great Sun Buddha, and let yourself suffer the pain of refining your heart as a punishment.

Even though they are often tested by the Great Sun Buddha Flame along the way, it does not mean that they are willing and able to bear the heart-burning pain. Now even Wujing is not immune to the Great Sun Buddha Flame.

When being burned, he didn't say anything. It can only be said that his willpower is relatively strong. And Bajie was always the first among his brothers to be unable to bear it.

"Tell me about it." Fahai raised his cassock, "As a teacher, I want to hear what you have to say."

Fahai naturally heard about Bajie breaking the precepts from the mouth of the six-eared macaque. He didn't want to care about it at first, but now he saw that Bajie didn't seem to understand the real problem, so he still I need to give him a heads up.

"Yes."

Bajie, who had already come to his senses, naturally realized his mistake deeply. He also knew that the reason why Master wanted to punish him again was not because he had broken the precepts about meat and vegetables, but because he had broken the precepts about meat and vegetables and failed to report to Master in time. He made it clear that he met Master today and used the matter of "breaking the precepts" to apologize to Master. This obviously made Master unhappy.

But now that the master has given him a chance to make amends, Bajie naturally will not waste it and quickly explains: "Master, this matter is not complicated."

"That day, I originally came to the vicinity of Changbai Mountain in search of some wild food for seasoning." Bajie began to tell the story of why he broke the precept that day. "Before entering the mountain, I heard that there was a snow monster living in the mountain, who was extremely beautiful. He often seduces young men who go into the mountains to hunt, and sometimes sucks their yang energy, or even kills people. After the disciples heard about this, they transformed into young men who went into the mountains to hunt, hoping to lure out the snow monsters and kill them. People from harm."

"Ah."

Fahai still agreed with Bajie's determination to slay demons, but he still asked another question, "Is this the only reason?"

Bajie actually wanted to be harsh, but when he looked at his master, he already knew what he was doing. I'm afraid he had been beaten to death by Junior Brother Liu Er. Now the master asked him to say, I'm afraid It was to let myself tell the truth about the cause and effect, as well as what I really thought in my heart at that time. If I had any more secrets to hide, I'm afraid Master would really not let me go.

Now that things have happened, Bajie has also broken the pot. Since he can't hide, he might as well say it openly to show his calmness, "Master, you know that this disciple has given up lustful thoughts back then, but if When I meet those beautiful women, I still can't help but look at them sideways. But I swear, I am just curious about how beautiful the snow demon is, and have no lust at all. If you violate this oath, please burn her in front of Master. Under the sun Buddha's flame."

As we all know, if you really have "God", you can't swear easily.

Otherwise, once the oath is violated, there will be a response.

It's like Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong back then. When they taught each other martial arts, they made an oath, saying that if they concealed anything, Luo Cheng would die from thousands of arrows, while Qin Qiong said that he would vomit blood and die.

As a result, Luo Cheng concealed the carbine, and Qin Qiong did not teach him the killer trick. In the end, Luo Cheng was framed. When fighting Liu Heitai and Su Dingfang, he and his horse fell into the mud and were shot to death by ambushed archers.

Qin Qiong also suffered from injuries and eventually died of a sudden illness while vomiting blood on the bed.

In fact, this has something to do with the identities of the two of them. You must know that Li Shimin descended from the Ziwei Star, and whenever this time comes, there will be stars from all over the sky to help the new king. Luo Cheng is the White Tiger Star, and Qin Qiong It was General Zuo Tianpeng.

It's just that now the White Tiger Star has reincarnated into the lower world as Xue Rengui, and because of the awakening of the power of Xue Rengui's own human bloodline, it has helped the White Tiger Star soul that was originally imprisoned on the list of gods to escape from the trap. From then on, there is no White Tiger Star Lord Yin Chengxiu in the Three Realms. But there is an additional Tang War God Xue Rengui.

And Qin Qiong's soul did not return to heaven after his death. Instead, Yu Chigong, who was reincarnated with the Black Evil God, was granted the title of the emperor of the world together, and became the two "left and right" gate gods from then on, enjoying the incense in the world.

The throne of this door god was later consecrated by the Jade Emperor of Heaven. From then on, these two true gods must be enshrined on the door of every household.

Speaking of which, the reason why the two of them became door gods is inseparable from the Dragon King of Jinghe back then.

At that time, Li Shimin always felt bad because the Dragon King of Jinghe was beheaded by Wei Zheng in his dream, so he often dreamed of the dragon soul demanding his life at night. Later, it was the two generals Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong who guarded the door all night. Let Li Shimin sleep peacefully.

After this incident was spread among the people, whenever there were nightmares and evil spirits disturbing them, the people would draw pictures of the two generals and stick them on their doors. Sure enough, they could sleep peacefully until dawn.

For these two things, Li Shimin didn't even need to go down to the imperial edict. The people's spontaneous incense worship was enough for their souls to ascend to immortality and become the god of incense and fire. It's just that the spirit has no imperial seal. After all, the name is not justified.

After Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong died of illness, Li Shimin formally decreed that they be named door gods and grand marshals protecting the country.

After hearing Bajie's oath, Fahai said: "Even so, your lustful mind has probably not been eradicated. All living things are born with lusty nature. Otherwise, how can they reproduce? As long as lusty nature is not transformed, If you have lustful thoughts, there is no serious problem. Moreover, everyone has the love of beauty, but you have to be careful and careful about the extent of it. Otherwise, if you cross the line, I will not let you go."

Bajie had made a vow. Once he really made a mistake, Fahai would definitely give him a profound retribution.

Bajie is obviously also very aware of the power of such oaths. In addition to showing his magnanimity, he also wants to use this oath to keep himself alert at all times. When he has broken the precepts of killing and eating meat, he does not If he breaks the precept of sexual immorality again, he then makes an oath: "Disciple, I swear again, if I have the heart of adultery in the future, I will be struck by thousands of thunders."

In this way, we can see the firmness of Bajie’s heart.

But Fa Hai actually knew that the reason why Bajie repeatedly made vows and expressed his Taoist stance on lust and fornication was actually to pave the way for the "evil precepts".
