I am a monster in both worlds

Chapter 206: Custom, not going to the West?

In front of the small town of Us.

Yi Bai hid for the young man and the old woman and chased them.

He looked towards the young man and the old woman, just to ask the reason for this matter.

Unexpectedly, the young man looked around blankly, watching those people running past them ignoring them, and then looked at the circles on the ground.

How can I still not understand.

There are strange people in front of me.

"I, I... pay my respects to the living Buddha!!"

The young man knelt on the ground and prostrated himself on the ground.

"You bastard, what kind of living Buddha is this? This is a deity in the sky, Tiangang Yuanchen!"

The black bear spirit next to him said.

"Don't be impatient."

Yi Bai glanced at the black bear spirit, then looked at the young man and the old woman. He stepped forward and helped the young man up.

"Mobai, I am not a living Buddha, but I want to ask you, why are these people chasing you?"

Yi Bai asked kindly.

"Gods, gods, because my father is dead and they want to kill my mother, I have no choice but to take my mother away."

The young man was stunned for a while before speaking.

"Your father died. Why did they kill your mother? Because the inheritance in the family was unevenly distributed?"

Yi Bai asked softly.

"No."

"Is that because of your father's last words?"

"No."

"What's that for?"

Yi Bai couldn't understand.

"God, God, you must not be from us here."

the young man asked cautiously.

"Yes, I am from the east."

Yi Bai admitted frankly.

When the young man heard this, although he didn't know what Dongtu was, he still told Yi Bai truthfully what happened.

It turns out that this young man's name is 'Niva', and he does not have a surname, only a first name. It is said that most people here have a given name but no surname.

According to Niva, according to their custom, after the father of a family dies, the eldest son must carry the mother out of the cliff and throw her away. He cannot live with his mother, otherwise it will be bad for the whole city.

This old woman is Niva's mother.

Niva is the third son of the old woman. Their father died recently.

According to local custom, the old woman should be thrown into the mountains by her son, but Niva was grateful for her mother's care and violated the custom and ran away with her mother on her back.

How could the people in the city be willing to do this to this mother's other sons? They felt that their days would be over if the mother did not die, so they pursued Niva.

After hearing this, Yi Bai frowned.

The black bear spirit on the side was cursing and said: "I have never seen such a custom. When the father of the family dies, the mother has to die together. What a broken custom this is."

The black bear spirit was very angry.

"God, God, please help me!"

Niva knew that he would not be able to escape if he could not seek help from Yi Bai, a strange man.

"This kind of custom is indeed too much."

Yi Bai took a long time to comment.

"Yuan Chen, what should we do?"

The black bear spirit is waiting for Yi Bai's order.

"Let's go into the city first and have a look."

Yi Bai waved his hand and said.

"God, we can't enter the city. We will be discovered if we enter the city."

Niva's eyes filled with tears and she shook her head.

"You go with them and leave me alone. I am the ghost's wife and I deserve to die."

The old woman was numb and desperate.

After hearing this, the black bear spirit just looked at Yi Bai without making any statement.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Just watch me cast the spell."

Yi Bai pulled off two pieces of cloth from Niva's ragged clothes to make Niva's clothes cooler.

He blew on the two pieces of cloth, then wrapped the two pieces of cloth around Niva and the old woman, and used an invisibility technique to make Niva and the old woman disappear.

"This this……"

The black bear spirit was a little confused. Looking at the empty space in front of him, he felt that Yi Bai was getting more and more powerful.

"I have cast a spell so that no human eye can see you. You can safely follow us into the city."

Yi Bai said so.

With his Dharma eyes, he could easily see Niva and the old woman.

Niva and the old woman couldn't see each other either, and they were exclaiming again and again.

Yi Bai watched the two people exclaiming again and again, and he knew what was going on.

He just felt that his ability had indeed improved a lot, and he seemed to have his own understanding of this kind of Taoism, and he could easily master it.

All these changes seemed to have started when his master, Emperor Dongyue, nodded his head three times.

Being tapped on the head three times seemed to give him some enlightenment, making his head clearer.

"Let's go into the city."

Yi Bai said.

Niva and the old woman were busy agreeing, but they were anxious and uneasy.

Yi Bai personally helped Niva meet the old woman and asked Niva to carry the old woman on her back.

After everything is settled.

Yi Bai then asked Niva to enter the city with him.

On the dirt road into town.

The black bear spirit flattered Yi Bai repeatedly, praising Yi Bai for his Taoism.

Yi Bai rolled his eyes and ignored him.

He had just walked into town.

A strange fragrance wafted over.

Yi Bai only felt the smell hit his nose.

He looked aside intently. I saw three or four people holding a large iron pot, stewing something in the pot, with some meat and bones exposed.

"What kind of meat is this stew?"

Yi Bai vaguely felt something was wrong.

"This is the eldest son of the Adhuo family. He is stewing his eldest son."

Niva stood behind with the old woman on his back, not daring to cross. He listened to Yi Bai's questions and answered quickly, as if he would be scolded if he answered slowly.

"Stew, stew his eldest son?"

Yi Bai was surprised and frightened.

"Stew the eldest son? What kind of animal is the eldest son?"

The black bear spirit is quite calm.

"The eldest son is the first heir of the Adhuo family."

Niva explained again.

"Huh?? Stew the eldest son? Isn't this crazy!"

The black bear spirit's eyes widened, feeling incredible, and his whole body jumped up.

This move made passers-by look at Yi Bai Yao with strange eyes.

Yi Bai gently patted the black bear spirit's shoulder to calm him down.

"Niva, why is this family stewing the eldest son?"

Yi Bai asked.

"Isn't this normal?"

Niva said cautiously.

"This is not normal."

Yi Bai doesn't think this has anything to do with 'normality'.

"It is our custom here that the eldest son born in the family should cook and share the food, so that the second son can inherit the eldest son and the family will be better off."

Niva whispered.

"This……"

Yi Bai felt ridiculous after hearing this.

Why is this, the first city that Us entered the country, so ridiculous?

The eldest son in the family must cook and share the food. If the father dies, the son must throw away his mother.

This kind of custom is too ridiculous.

"Don't you think there's anything abnormal about this custom?"

Yi Bai asked patiently.

"This has been the case since ancient times."

Niva explained quietly.

"Then why did you save your mother?"

Yi Bai asked again.

"It was not easy for my mother to raise me, and I can't bear it."

Niva replied.

"Since you can't bear it, why don't you think about how others can bear it?"

Yi Bai said.

"Gods, gods, I really don't care what happens to others. I just can't bear my mother to die like this."

Niva said again.

Hear this.

Yi Bai was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly felt like Hong Zhong Da Lu.

This may be the difference between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism.

Hinayana Buddhism is just like Niva, struggling hard in the sea of ​​suffering, trying to escape from the sea of ​​suffering and achieve self-transcendence.

Mahayana Buddhism means seeing sentient beings struggling in a sea of ​​suffering, feeling compassion, and sacrificing one's own safety to save sentient beings in a sea of ​​suffering.

In fact, Mahayana Buddhism is not Buddhism in the true sense. It is a kind of determination, a fearless and courageous determination.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has made a great wish, and vows not to become a Buddha until hell is empty.

Another example is Emperor Dongyue, whose body is worth thousands of gold, working hard for heaven and earth, and without any regrets.

Another example is the Heavenly Lord whose response to the thunder of the Nine Heavens is universal. He once said that if you can hear His name, you must meditate and think about it, so that those who call His name will get what you want.

This is another kind of ambition.

All the great gods actually have their own ambitions.

All great gods can be regarded as having attained Mahayana Buddhism.

Mahayana Buddhism is just a determination, and the name does not matter at all. If you are happy, you can call it Mahayana Dharma, or any Mahayana Dharma.

He walked westward to find the right path for the demons in the world, and the road was at his feet.

After Yi Bai finished thinking, he silently bowed to Niva and thanked him in his heart.

After receiving his words and suddenly awakening, it is time to bow down.

Niva stood there confused.

"Today is here, and it's time to sweep away old habits and create a new path for the people of this place."

Yi Bai said so.

"Yuan Chen, what should we do?"

asked the black bear spirit.

"There is no need to enter this city for now. I will wait until I meet the leader of the Us Kingdom, Mr. Zilu. Could you please take Niva to other cities in the Us Kingdom and help him settle down? At that time, I will come to the capital of the Us Kingdom to find him. I."

Yi Bai said this.

"Yes, please be careful Yuan Chen."

The black bear spirit agreed.

Yi Bai told Niva a few more words, urging him to live a good life and settle down, and serve his good old mother.

After explaining, Yi Bai let the black bear spirit leave.

After watching the black bear spirit leave, he looked to the west again.

He suddenly felt that, in fact, whether he went to Lingshan or not was not that important anymore.

The real Mahayana Buddhism may not be the scriptures of Lingshan.

I won’t go to Lingshan, but my journey to the west will continue.

Yi Bai looked towards the west with deep eyes, where was the sun that was about to set...
