All in all, Axue herself is still very happy.
Although I have long been accustomed to being a blind person and the dark world before my eyes.
But when he really found another way to see the world, he couldn't help crying with joy.
At least now I won't need my senior brother Torachiyo to care about and protect me too much.
I will never be like last year when I was begging for alms and was almost deceived by bad people and forced to eat human flesh, which destroyed my determination to practice Buddhism.
Axue wants to be able to protect herself.
Only in this way can I protect my senior brother in the future.
"Brother, please teach me swordsmanship!"
Faced with Axue's request, Torachiyo was actually a little troubled.
As mentioned before, Tora Chiyo is a natural genius, born with infinite martial arts skills.
So he did not have any unique kendo style like ordinary warriors.
If someone fought Torachiyo, he would have no idea how the black-haired boy's weapon would attack.
Torachiyo himself didn't know how his previous move was seamlessly connected to the next one.
His original intention was to help Axue strengthen her body and gain a preliminary understanding of various weapons.
Torachiyo had never expected that his junior fellow apprentice would have such talent in martial arts.
Logically speaking, we should hire a swordsmanship teacher specifically for Axue at this time.
But Torachiyo has selfish motives.
He didn't want the time he spent with Axue to be taken away by outsiders.
Because when teaching martial arts, the two can have a lot of reasonable physical contact. Since the day he prepared to teach Axue martial arts, Torachiyo has been looking forward to the arrival of teaching practice every moment.
If I just stand there and watch an outsider being intimate with Torachiyo, I might as well just kill myself with a knife!
Moreover, in a rational discussion, Torachiyo did not think that the nearby swordsmanship teachers were as outstanding as herself.
So this clever senior brother made a final decision——
"Axue, let's have a duel!"
"Right... Boom...?"
"That is to say——"
Torachiyo flashed his weapon, a serious look in his eyes.
"Using the body to remember may be more effective."
【Torachiyo's teaching method is real-life fighting.】
[Facing this war god who is the reincarnation of Bishamonten, even though you possess the Haki of Observation, you were still beaten black and blue.]
【Torachiyo's swordsmanship has no rules or regulations.】
[Their innate strength and self-taught martial arts skills meant they had to start from scratch every time they were taught, and it was impossible to increase their clearance rate by memorizing the board.]
[Even after a year of intense fighting, you haven't defeated Torachiyo even once.]
[But the duration of your fights went from one or two moves to ten or twenty moves, and finally to hundreds or thousands of moves!]
[You don't know that even a world-renowned swordsman wouldn't be able to fight a monster like Tora Chiyo for more than a hundred moves!]
[Faced with this swordsman who could kill a master with random punches, either Tora Chiyo was instantly killed by the swordsman's ultimate sword move, or the swordsman was unable to withstand the attack and was repeatedly defeated and finally died at Tora Chiyo's hands.]
[In this world, you are the only one who possesses the Observation Haki, capable of battling Bishamonten's reincarnation, Torachiyo, to the point of obliterating even the Great Dao!]
[All of your attributes have been greatly improved! ]
【Finally, the day of turning seven arrived.】
Chapter 16: The trumpet seems to be ruined?
null
Chapter 17: Nine major camps are generated!
What is good?
Respecting and loving others is good.
What is evil?
Hitting and scolding people is evil.
Integrity and dedication are good, while corruption is evil.
Seeing injustice is good, and being an accomplice to evil is evil.
Buddha said.
what goes around comes around.
But why do many of us do good deeds but live in poverty at home; while some people do many evil things but live a carefree and prosperous life?
Buddha replied.
Secular people are often blinded by a single leaf and fail to see the mountain. They only look at the surface of a problem and fail to see its essence, which leads them to mistake evil for good and good for evil.
Instead of blaming yourself for not being able to distinguish right from wrong, you complain that Buddhism is a deception.
Only seven years old.
Axue has seen so many things through his blind eyes that people with eyes cannot see.
What is Buddha? What is Demon?
During the war, people in the world suffered a lot. Countless temples, under the name of saving all living beings, led their monks to constantly interfere in human politics.
During the Great Famine, common people were starving, but the people in Linquan Temple had no worries about food and drink.
Senior Brother Hu Chiyo broke the vow of not killing. Is he a demon?
The monk soldiers are killing people in the mortal world. Are they all Buddhas?
Ultimately...
Who is the one who decides whether one can become a Buddha or a demon?
One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a devil.
So can killing people lead to Buddhahood?
Can saving people turn you into a demon?
Axue was completely confused.
The seven-year-old boy walked forward hesitantly and looked at the evil-destroying Buddhist sword, Sujumaru Tsuneji, which symbolized the righteous path of Buddhism.
Its former owner, Nichiren Shonin, once wielded this sharp blade, slaughtering countless evil spirits. Bathed in countless glory, he eventually forged this divine weapon.
Killing a thousand people is a magic sword.
Killing thousands of ghosts is the Buddha's sword.
As for me, who has never killed any living being, am I evil or holy...?
Axue felt deeply frightened in an instant.
His faith has been like a towering pagoda for several days. Because a brick at the base was stolen by a thief from nowhere, the tower has been shaking in the sky and is now about to collapse.
"Axue! You can do it!!"
Beside him was Torachiyo, who was cheering him on. This senior brother with an anxious look on his face must have thought that he was hesitating, right?
Hesitating whether he could pull out this evil-destroying Buddhist sword.
But my senior brother would never have thought of that.
Axue's hesitation was not about proving her innocence.
But...
Even if I prove my innocence, why should I stay in Linquan Temple?
Why should I practice Buddhism?
Axue couldn't help licking her dry lips.
In the final analysis...
Since he was born, he has never had a will of his own.
No.
Perhaps it was the rebellion against the master and the doubt about Buddhism at this moment that made Ah Xue wake up for the first time in her life.
"Axue, draw your sword."
Master Tianshi smiled slightly and urged Axue to draw out the Buddhist sword.
He couldn't help but recall his experience of begging for alms.
The wails of the starving people still tortured him, and the angry roars of the sinners killed by his senior brother still echoed in his ears.
"What can I do?! In the face of natural disasters and man-made calamities! Either I kill or I'm killed! I just want to survive! What's wrong with me?!"
Axue finally understood something.
The wisdom in the scriptures inspired him and the precepts restrained him, but more and more questions lingered in his mind.
And now, these doubts about the human world have finally dissipated a little bit -
The so-called criminals are all forced into this cruel world.
There is a distinction between partial and impartial goodness.
Good is right, and excessive goodness is evil.
Sometimes we have good intentions and want to do good things, but unexpectedly our good intentions lead to bad results. This is called deviation from the right path.
Sometimes something that is meant to be disgusting, harmful, or bad may inadvertently turn into a great thing. This is called finding the right thing in the midst of something.
It was the farmer who was caught up in the cruel world.
It was the farmer who killed his relatives to fill his stomach.
But the farmer just blamed the cruel law of nature and never took responsibility for the crimes he had committed.
So he was killed by his senior brother Hu Chiyo, which was the retribution from humanity.
Before we attain enlightenment and become Buddhas, we are still human beings...
Axue gently grasped the hilt of the knife, and her fingers slowly stroked the ancient Buddhist beads on the hilt.
Then he took a long breath—
Draw out the Buddhist sword.
Under the watchful eyes of Torachiyo and Master Amuro, the blade easily left the sheath, making a clear clanging sound.
The sound was long and lingering, like the echo of a wooden fish being struck, calming the hearts of everyone present.
"Axue, your master was not wrong about you. You are indeed a Buddhist."
Master Tianshi nodded with satisfaction, then extended his hand.
"From now on... you will be the one keeping this sujuumaru, Tsuneji."
Hearing this, Tora Chiyo could no longer care about anything else. She hugged Axue tightly, pressed his head against her chest, and said in great surprise -
"Ahahaha! That's great! Xue!! We can be together again!!!"
Senior Brother’s laughter had never been as happy as it was now, and there was no trace of fake smile at all.
But Hu Chiyo did not see the expression of his junior brother in his arms at this moment.
Ah Xue just gently stroked the evil-breaking Buddhist sword and whispered in her heart -
