Chapter 52 Exploring the Bottom
Taoist Xiu Ning thought she was talking about the Li family. He felt a little annoyed and couldn't figure it out. The cause and effect line was a mess, and he couldn't see through Li Jinchu's cause and effect at all.

It seems that the Li family doesn't remember any great virtues.

It has been passed down to Li Jinchu for more than 3000 generations, but the accumulated functions are not even 1/10 of that little golden dragon.

"This fellow Taoist is really good at joking. Even if this immortal cultivation family is remembered from generation to generation, they may not have such talent and luck as you." Buddhist disciple Xu Chen was confused as he listened at the side, but looking at the expression of his own uncle, he guessed about 70% of it. He estimated that he could not see through the cause and effect of this little girl.

My uncle's theory of cause and effect is indeed useful in some areas, but it is not always useful. Didn't he make a mistake that time?
Li Jinchu replied with a fake smile, his eyes fixed on the lively opera stage outside, his voice full of doubt: "Maybe my ancestors have accumulated great virtues. It is said that Buddhists are compassionate and benevolent. I have heard of this and I have seen it. I wonder if Buddhist disciple Xuchen and Taoist Xiuning can explain it to me?"

There were already five people standing on the stage.

Two snakes, a human, a Buddha, and a newborn baby. Behind them is the scene after the flood of Jinshan Mountain. The flood receded, houses collapsed, and many people died...

"Look at the audience, and then look at the situation. What should the Buddhist do now? As for the background of this play, you two came too late and didn't see it. But there happens to be a picture book here, so why not take a look first."

When Taoist Master Xiu Ning heard and saw the two men and one woman crying miserably on the stage, and the Buddhist cultivator opposite them with a look of compassion and indignation, he felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart. Something was about to burst out, but something was also suppressed by him.

He was well versed in cause and effect, and he had long known the cause and effect of this play. In this situation, the two snake demons should be killed, and as for her newly born baby, it should not be allowed to survive in the world.

What would that kind of baby who was neither a demon nor a human grow up to be, a human or a demon? No matter which side it was, it would not be recognized by him, so why let him...

He looked at Li Jinchu with complicated eyes, and then looked at Xu Chen who was reading the book. He couldn't help but silently said: "Amitabha, good, good!"

Then he looked firmly at the two women who were playing the snake demons on the stage and said in a resolute voice, "If you have violated the precept of killing and done something wrong, you should pay with your life."

Hearing this, Lu Jing opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she clenched her fists tightly again, then suppressed her voice and forced herself to calm down. The person opposite her was Xiu Ning Taoist Master, who on the surface had no connections with any Buddhist sect, but was actually a member of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. She had no capital to go against such a person, let alone refute what he said.

Looking at the cold and god-like face of the Buddhist monk opposite him, Li Jinchu couldn't help but lower his head and slightly close his eyes.

If even the Buddhas are like this, how can the demons survive?
He sighed softly in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face again. He looked softly at Xuchen Buddhist, who had put down the script, with troubled eyes. He watched him pick up the teacup and drink it all in one gulp, then remained silent for a long time.

She reached out and poured him a cup of fresh tea, with a hint of desolation in her voice.

"What do you think, Buddhist? Do you think those two snake demons should be killed?"

Xu Chen shook his head. He didn’t know how to make the decision. Among all the Buddhist teachings, none had ever taught him what to do in the current situation.

"Fellow Daoist, can you tell me the final result?"

"In another quarter of an hour, the play will be over. By then, Buddhist disciple Xuchen should have the answer." Li Jinchu pointed to the stage.

At this moment, the white snake demon had been suppressed under the Lei Feng Pagoda, and the green snake demon returned to the mountain to practice. The child was entrusted to the man's sister and brother-in-law. The man followed the Buddhist practitioner to cultivate his mind, just for the safety of his wife and the well-being of everyone.

Time passed quickly, the child grew up in the blink of an eye, passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, the Lei Feng Pagoda collapsed, and the family was reunited. Seeing this result, whether it was Xiuning Daozun, Xu Chen, or Lu Jing, they were speechless for a long time.

so funny.

Did so many people die in vain? Can saving lives offset killing people?

Can becoming a Buddha prevent becoming a demon?
Can all this be compared?
The three people all looked at Li Jinchu, who helplessly spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I didn't write this. I just copied and borrowed from it. This was written by a mortal. Well, I know nothing about Buddhism, and the same is true for cause and effect. So I want to use this story to ask Taoist Xiuning, if people really do something wrong, is it really impossible to make up for it?"

Taoist Xiuning twitched his lips, chanted Amitabha, and then said, "If those people can be resurrected, or if the snake demon can do good deeds for a few hundred years, it is not so easy to offset the merits and demerits. Taoist friends, please don't blindly look at these. Killing a person is not the same as saving a person. In fact, killing a person is equal to saving a person, and saving a person is equal to killing in different situations."

"I understand this principle. My grandfather once released an evil cultivator by mistake out of kindness, which almost led to a big mistake. In the end, his innate magic weapon suppressed those undead spirits for nearly thousands of years before the cause and effect were offset." Li Jinchu sighed slightly, then looked at Xu Chen again.

"Buddha Xuchen, what do you think of this ending?"

"It's considered perfect, but I still feel a little sad." After saying this, Xu Chen put his hands together and silently chanted the Heart Purification Mantra.

When Li Jinchu saw this situation, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. He looked at Lu Jing, asking with his eyes.

"How old is this Buddhist disciple Xuchen this year?"

This Buddhist disciple has some Buddha nature in him, but she can't see through it. It can be seen that this Buddhist disciple has a high level of understanding of Buddha nature.

"21!"

Li Jinchu's eyes narrowed slightly. He was so young, no wonder he could see things so clearly and was not polluted at all. Look at that Taoist Xiuning, what he said was a bit too paranoid.

Even the Way of Heaven sometimes tacitly acknowledges that excessive merits can be compensated for by occasional mistakes, but Taoist Xiuning doesn't think so. He is right, however, that White Snake did kill a lot of people when she flooded Jinshan Mountain, but for those people it was just a reincarnation in one lifetime, and it is difficult to judge such things, but it is indeed hard to accept for those innocent people who died in vain.

The ugly lawsuit between the two could not be hidden from Taoist Xiu Ning and Xu Chen, and the two Buddhist practitioners were extremely speechless.

So, they came here today just to watch this show?!

"Er Er, I have said before that you have a strong Buddhist nature. What do you think about this matter?" Taoist Xiu Ning asked.

When Lu Jing heard this, she looked at Li Jinchu curiously. She was also curious about what her junior sister thought about this matter. If it were her, she would probably help the White Snake, but she would never let her be included in the immortal class, because immortals are ruthless! Isn't this a recognized fact among them who cultivate immortals?

Li Jinchu twitched his lips, clasped his hands together, silently chanted "Amitabha", and said calmly.

"Let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate. I respect the beginning and the end of this story and will not get involved. If I were in it, I would probably do what I want and help whoever I like."
