The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 189 The so-called Buddha is no exception

The Great Hall was completely silent, and everyone looked at the young monk who was speaking and smiling softly. For some reason, they felt that there was an indescribable evil in him.

I can't help but think that there was nothing wrong with Tathagata letting him reincarnate ten times. If such a person doesn't reincarnate, who will? He is so cruel that he even dares to kill himself.

"That's easy for you to say. Then go and die." The man in black robe sneered.

"Black Robe, don't be so aggressive." Wu Tian suddenly scolded.

"Yes, Buddha."

"Xuanzang, I can feel your dissatisfaction with the three realms today, but we should not be too hasty in everything. There is a saying in the mortal world that goes, 'Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.'" Wu Tian said slowly.

"When I was first born, I was called a fierce beast by the world. It is inevitable that I like to be straightforward. I hope you will not be offended, Master." Xi Mingzhang said calmly:
"I think the monk still wants to pretend to be Tathagata, saying that the demon Wu Tian is about to cause chaos in the Three Realms. He has been reincarnated into the mortal world. Only by bringing this reincarnated demon child back to Lingshan and finding the seventeen relics can the catastrophe be averted for the Three Realms."

"I am not good at acting, so I will go back to the Merit Hall to avoid revealing my true identity. Please forgive me, Master."

Without waiting for Wu Tian to speak, the man in black robe said:

"This is the best way. It also eliminates the possibility of you leaking information."

"Black robe!"

"My disciple is unkind, please forgive me, Buddha."

"Xuanzang is dedicated to the public good. Don't be rude to him in the future."

"Yes."

Immediately, Wu Tian said to Xi Mingzhang:
"You have made up your mind, so I can't say much."

A day in the sky, a year in the ground.

In the Buddhist world, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and now there are only thirteen years left before the fixed number of thirty-three years.

Naturally, Sun Wukong was deceived by Wu Tian, ​​who was disguised as Tathagata, and went to the mortal world to look for the so-called reincarnated demon child and the relics.

The atmosphere in the main hall was quiet.

"Let me ask you, what did I tell you before you left?" Wutan's face was cold.

The three monsters below immediately knelt down and kowtowed:
"Buddha, spare my life, spare my life"

"Say!"

Wu Tian's loud shout immediately made one of the monsters tremble and say:
"When the Buddha told us to secretly search for the sixteen surviving relics, he told us to avoid Sun Wukong."

Then another monster spoke:
"Buddha, please spare us. Sun Wukong is cunning and deceitful. My three brothers were afraid that we would fall into his trap. So when we were searching for the relic, we heard that there was a relic hidden in the Twin Pagodas Temple, but we couldn't find it."

"I had no choice but to search the county door to door, but I was afraid that the news would be leaked and Sun Wukong would know about it. I had no choice but to kill people to silence them, but I didn't expect Sun Wukong to see me."

"You three pieces of trash are of no use at all." Wutan's eyes shot out purple light, and the three monsters below flew backwards and rolled on the ground in pain.

Seeing this, the man in black robe clasped his hands together and pleaded:

"Buddha, please show me your mercy."

"Buddha, there can be no mercy. You have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Wrong is wrong, right is right. They are not doing their job well, so they must be killed." Ying Yao walked out with a serious face.

The black robe is still begging:
"Buddha, think about it. We need people right now. If we kill them and continue to kill many people who are not doing their job well, I am afraid that it won't be long before there will be no one left to use." Ying Yao snorted coldly:
"It is useless to keep useless people. If we don't kill them, how can we enhance your power and prestige?"

"No need to say anything, just leave." Wu Tian's eyes were stern:
"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. But what Black Robe said is right. Now is the time to recruit people. You are all monsters, so it is inevitable that your bad habits will not change."

"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life cannot be escaped. I will throw you into the abyss of darkness and let you reflect on your mistakes. If there is a chance in the future, you can be re-employed."

After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and the three monsters who were rolling and wailing on the ground disappeared.

"Master monk, it is such a blessing to work under you. You are really considerate of your subordinates. No matter what, you will always put yourself in their shoes." Xi Mingzhang, who had been watching from the sidelines, sighed:
"Tathagata is more worthy of the title of the compassionate Buddha."

"Xuanzang, what would happen if it were you?" Wu Tian shook his head and laughed:
"It won't be another word, kill."

"The one who knows me is the great monk. Regardless of whether they listened to me or not, just for killing innocent people, don't they deserve to die?" Xi Mingzhang said calmly.

After hearing this, Wu Tian waved his hand and asked the four guardians to leave. When only two people were left in the hall, he said:
"Xuanzang, you are really evil, but there are priorities. My subordinates are all demons and monsters. If I continue to deal with them harshly, I am afraid that it won't be long before there is no one left to use."

Xi Mingzhang spoke expressionlessly:
"The most unworthy thing in the world is to hate those people so much, to fight them for so long, and finally become like them. There is no ideal in the world that is worth such a fall."

"Great monk, do you want to become the Tathagata in the future?"

Wu Tian was silent for a while, and finally said:
"It seems that deep down in your heart, you are just like me, and you look down on Tathagata. What is the meaning of living when he talks about no human form, no self form, no sentient beings form, and fasting and abstinence to the point of losing even the self?"

Xi Mingzhang spoke calmly:
"The great monk has the power of Buddha, and his thoughts and ideas are on the side of mortals. If he were a mortal, but lived like a wooden man, his life would be dull and boring, like a walking corpse."

"But what I'm doing now is completely opposite to what I thought."

"There are big and small things, and there are before and after things." Wu Tian said in a deep voice: "I will deal with them in the future."

Seeing Xi Mingzhang's silent expression, he immediately skipped the topic and said:

"Just wait and see from now on."

A flash of darkness flashed across Xi Mingzhang's eyes, and he was speechless.

"The future? Can a person who only cares about his head and not his butt have a future?"

Then, Wu Tian suddenly sighed:
"At first, I thought that you, the master of Sun Wukong, would be the most loyal person to Tathagata, but you would think that I was the most evil person in the world."

Wu Tian looked amiable:

"I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise."

Xi Mingzhang clasped his palm together, gently placed it on his chest, and said:
"My method of distinguishing right from wrong is based on the Four Principles of Reliance. Among them, the Principle of Reliance refers to the Buddha's teachings, which are the Three Baskets and Twelve Divisions of the Buddhist Canon. This means that we should rely on the Buddha's teachings, not on people."

“If someone is an ordinary person or a heretic, but the principles he speaks are in line with the Dharma, he can also be believed and followed.”

"It is because we follow the Dharma he preaches, not his person, so his identity is not important."

"So, as a humble monk studying Buddhism, how can I argue about right and wrong just because of the noble status of others?"

"Moreover, in this world, most people appear to be righteous and noble on the surface, but secretly they are full of petty evils, thieves and prostitutes. The so-called Buddha is no exception."
