Cross the prehistoric and become a canopy

"Benefactor, it's dangerous here, don't climb up."

A clear and clear boyish voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Zhu Xiaoshuai looked back, he was a child who hadn't grown up yet, and he looked like he was only in his teens.But even so, it can be seen that this young man is handsome and polite.

However, with that shining bald head, this child is destined not to be a woman.

Zhu Xiaoshuai scratched the back of his head, feeling that he had to look good in front of the child, so he jumped down easily, and came down from the wall, and said relaxedly, "Little master, how long have you been practicing here?"

The little monk said something about Amitabha, and said loudly: "The poor monk has practiced here for ten years. I don't know why the benefactor is here today?"

Zhu Xiaoshuai thought that since Master Xuanzang is so famous, everyone who wants to come to this temple should know him, so he said directly: "I came to find Xuanzang, I wonder if the little master can recommend it for you?"

The little monk was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded politely and said, "That's the poor monk."

"Ah?" Zhu Xiaoshuai blurted out a question, "Are you really Master Xuanzang?"

At the same time, he quickly went through the information that the child just said in his mind.The child said that he had practiced here for ten years, but as far as he knew, Xuanzang was an orphan who drifted in the river from the very beginning.

How can a ten-year-old child grow so tall?

Probably seeing Zhu Xiaoshuai's doubts, Xuanzang lifted up his wide sleeves skillfully, revealing a strong arched bicep, and said indifferently: "The poor monk has practiced martial arts since he was a child, so he looks bigger. The door is closed, I don’t know why the benefactor came to the temple? But there is an emergency at home, do you need to ask the abbot for help?”

The little monk spoke in a different way, and called out one poor monk after another. Zhu Xiaoshuai already believed that this person was Xuanzang.It's just that I couldn't accept it for a while. It turned out that Tang Seng, who had seen the appearance of a handsome scholar for so many years, turned out to be a monk learning martial arts in reality!
And looking at the young age, the biceps are so majestic, I think I have been exercising a lot on weekdays.

No wonder the little boy had such a deep memory. If anyone saw the kid's muscles, he would say that the little master is amazing.

Zhu Xiaoshuai recovered from the shock, and looked at Xuanzang in front of him with a stern expression.Using his divine sense, he walked around the little master, and found that although he was a mortal and showed no signs of stepping into the immortal way, there was always a faint sense of immortality lingering around him.

This immortal energy could not be seen in the people in the heavenly court, but in the Bodhisattva who was seen occasionally. Obviously, this person was Tang Monk who was reincarnated from Jin Chanzi.

Seeing that the benefactor in front of him has not spoken, little Xuanzang bowed in a dignified manner, intending to speak to persuade this person to go down the mountain and leave.But just after he said Amitabha, the other party asked, "Does little master believe in gods and Buddhas?"

The bookish young man suddenly asked about the Dharma. Xuanzang thought that the young man was a scholar, and he probably encountered some troubles, so he went up the mountain to seek the Buddha's peace of mind.Since the other party asked about Buddhism, he would naturally not be vague.

"Naturally, I believe. Buddhists often say that everything has reincarnation, everything has cause and effect, and there is a causal relationship between everything. If the donor encounters any troubles, he needs to believe that he will get better in the future. The current tempering is just a fleeting moment. , will eventually dissipate.”

This little monk is quite good at speaking.

Zhu Xiaoshuai never thought of taking action against Xuanzang who is a mortal, but only hoped that when the other party had not fully believed in the way of the gods and Buddhas, a seed of doubt would be planted in the young mind of the other party.

But now seeing Xuanzang blurting out the Dharma with a firm expression on his face, Zhu Xiaoshuai knew that this matter was not as simple and easy as he thought.Fortunately, he had read a lot of documents about Journey to the West before, and often studied the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism, and now it finally came in handy.

Zhu Xiaoshuai put on an annoyed look, and said in distress all the time: "Little master, I also believe in gods and Buddhas on weekdays, but now I read some articles and really don't understand. Today, I wanted to go to the mountain to ask for advice, but I didn't expect Shut the door, at this moment, I was really in a hurry to climb up the wall and do such an indecent thing."

Xuanzang nodded, looked at Zhu Xiaoshuai sincerely, and said, "The poor monk didn't blame the benefactor. Today the presiding officer went out to give a ritual, and the temple needs to sort out ancient books today, so it's not easy to open it to the public. But if the benefactor wants to ask This is a truth, the poor monk is willing to listen to it, if the poor monk can't explain it, he will naturally ask the host to explain it to the benefactor."

The little monk is quite enthusiastic.

Zhu Xiaoshuai was happy, and said happily: "Thank you so much, little master. I recently studied Buddhism and came across a saying that Buddhism says that the world is a sea of ​​suffering, a house of fire, and dirty soil. Six paths of reincarnation. But, I don’t understand.”

"Thousands of people died in this world. Some died in battle, some died of old age, and many innocent people were slaughtered. The court is always catching murderers. Could it be that those murderers and the dead have always been trapped in this sea of ​​suffering? Is it in the midst of it? Buddhism always says that people will suffer retribution, but will they suffer such perverted torture in the underworld just for doing a little wrong thing?"

"Xiaosheng thought that the Buddhist family was very kind and shouldn't treat the world so viciously, and the Buddha always said that he should treat all living beings with a tolerant and compassionate heart. Why did he treat people who made small mistakes like this? These sins The karma is not too big, so why can’t I get mercy and forgiveness?”

Zhu Xiaoshuai's question made the young Xuanzang unable to explain it for the time being, so he could only vaguely say: "Well, if you do something wrong, you will naturally be punished, so how can there be any difference between big and small? Reincarnation of cause and effect always corresponds. Those who kill people will definitely be punished in the next life. What the Buddha said is not wrong, as long as the donor sincerely believes, the Buddha will naturally protect him."

Xuanzang actually wanted to leave now.

He has been familiar with Buddhism since he was a child, and he will always be praised by the abbot in the temple.The brothers and other masters also took good care of him, and never asked such complicated and tricky questions.Although he believed in Buddha very much in his heart, as a teenager, he was completely unable to explain it word by word.

But Zhu Xiaoshuai still insisted: "What you said is reasonable, but I still see many contradictory words in the Buddhist scriptures, and I hope the little master can explain it to me. The little master must have had a lot of trouble with the host on weekdays." Don’t you have a few rituals? Then you’ve seen many demons and ghosts, right?”

Xuanzang nodded subconsciously, but was horrified to find that the other party's eyes lit up.

"In this case, can the little master tell me why the Buddha didn't eliminate these demons instead of ordinary people?"
