ordinary human life

Xuanxuan was a little stunned upon hearing the words, and then entered a state of meditation.

He Sihai pulled Wanwan and stood aside without disturbing her.

But soon Xuanxuan recovered, shook her head to He Sihai and said, "I can't feel it."

"Is that so?" He Sihai frowned, looking at the sun hanging high in the sky.

After careful calculation, they have been in this space for at least one or two hours, and the sun above their heads has not changed at all.

"Then let's move on." He Sihai thought for a while and said.

So he pulled Wanwan and Xuanxuan to move on.

After walking for another hour or so, when He Sihai was impatient and wanted to show his cards, a dilapidated city appeared in front of him.

Old ravens stood on the ruined walls of the city, facing the city, flapping their wings, making the sound of "hungry, hungry".

Chapter 486 Cannibalism

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." He Sihai said.

The two little guys nodded upon hearing this.

He Sihai glanced at them, is the fear also disappearing?

If they had just come in, they would have hugged his arms long ago, showing a look of fear.

"Xuanxuan, let's light up the soul lamp together."

The soul-guiding lamp that Xuanxuan lights up is blue-purple and can guide the dead.

The soul-inducing lamp that He Sihai lights up is orange-red, which can turn ghosts into people.

But when He Sihai and Xuanxuan light the lamp together, the flame core is blue, the inner flame is orange, and the outer flame is red.

This is actually the most original light color.

It has a nice name, Wanjia Denghuo.

It symbolizes warmth, protection, home, hope, and the inheritance of civilization...

Lighting plays an important role in human civilization.

Because it has never been used before, He Sihai has never lit the soul-inducing lamp with Xuanxuan.

As the two of them lit together, the light spread out in circles.

Even the sun high in the sky cannot hide its light.

As the light spread to the surroundings, the three of them felt a burst of warmth in their bodies.

But there was an unpleasant smell like burning in the air.

"Hiahia...boss and sister Xuanxuan are so amazing." Wanwan said with a silly smile beside her.

Well, looking at her silly appearance, He Sihai heaved a sigh of relief, it seems that the soul-inducing lamp has worked.

"Wanwan, stay close to the range of the lights later, and don't run out." He Sihai told the little silly girl.

"Okay." Wanwan nodded and shook the rattle in her hand.

dong dong dong...

Then the voices of the old ravens standing on the city wall screaming "hungry, hungry" were suddenly interrupted, and they all fell from the top of the wall.

Wanwan was so frightened that she hurriedly stuffed the rattle into her breast pocket, and then pretended that nothing had happened, with an innocent look on her face.

Fortunately, Wanwan only shook once, and the old ravens who fell off the city wall quickly recovered and flew to the top of the wall again, croaking.

He Sihai led the two little guys and walked in towards the wide open "city gate".

In fact, there are no city gates anymore, and they have already collapsed.

As soon as I walked into the city, I saw people all over the city.

They all lay face down on the ground, forming circles and circles.

But there was no sound, as if they were statues. If it weren't for their faint breathing, they could really be thought to be statues.

All of them were sallow and thin, with dull eyes, as if they were too hungry to even roll their eyes.

In such a weird scene, Wanwan and Xuanxuan unconsciously put stickers on He Sihai's body again.

He Sihai pulled them, and cautiously and tentatively walked through the gaps in the crowd.

These people still didn't notice it, as if they didn't see it, He Sihai couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, pulled the two little guys to quickly shuttle through the crowd, and walked towards the most central position.

At this moment, the crows that had been standing on the city wall suddenly flew up in large swaths, and then fell to the center of the city. He Sihai couldn't help speeding up his pace.

After walking about two or three miles, He Sihai suddenly smelled a smell, like the smell of burnt hair.

But in these tastes, there are meat flavors.

And the silent refugees who were kneeling on the ground next to them couldn't help but swallow.

And He Sihai finally saw what everyone was kneeling down to.

They bowed to a great monk—the Great Monk Guangde.

In the very center of the crowd was a person sitting cross-legged. He was standing in front of his chest with a Buddhist bead in one hand, and knocking on a wooden fish with a jug in the other, reciting scriptures.

There was a circle of golden light behind his head, and a piece of paradise appeared in the golden light. Everyone in the paradise looked peaceful and happy.

And in front of him there is a big tripod.

There is water in the tripod and fire under the tripod.

The smell of meat comes from the tripod.

There were two refugees next to the tripod, one was stirring vigorously with a big wooden stick, the other was holding a ladle, continuously fished out black feathers from the tripod, and then poured them on the flames under the tripod.

After the feathers are burned, they emit a pungent smell.

At this moment, there was a sound of fluttering wings in the air, and a group of old ravens threw themselves into the tripod.

Then ghosts appeared beside the tripod, walked towards Monk Guangde, and disappeared into the golden light behind his head.

The originally indifferent ghost immediately showed peace and happiness after entering the golden light.

He Sihai even saw the mother and child who met on the road.

And the refugees kneeling around who were originally expressionless and numb, immediately showed fanatical envy.

I can't wait to jump into the cauldron, boil myself, and then enter the Buddhist kingdom of the holy monk.

"Dinner is ready." At this moment, the refugee who was mixing the tripod yelled.

Then a refugee who was kneeling on the ground stood up and walked over with a bowl in his hand.

The refugee who took the ladle immediately dug a ladle into the tripod, and then put it in the bowl of the other party, which was an old raven.

The refugees who got the food immediately stepped aside and started to gobble it up.

The food was delicious, but in He Sihai's eyes, he was obviously eating people, a middle-aged man in his thirties.

He Sihai suppressed the discomfort and turned his head away, only to see another refugee walking forward.

"He benefactor, you are finally here."

At this moment, Monk Guangde stopped beating the wooden fish, put his palms together and sang the Buddha's chant to He Sihai.

The back of his head was shining brightly, and he looked like a master monk.

"You let them eat people?" He Sihai stared at him.

Monk Guangde shook his head with a smile on his face.

"Back then, the Buddha cut his flesh to feed the eagles. Today, the birds voluntarily sacrifice their bodies to save the people from fire and water. This kind of great kindness should enter my holy land of bliss and enjoy bliss forever..." the great monk Guangde argued sophistry.

"You are an eminent Buddhist monk, and you did such a cruel thing. Aren't you afraid of falling into hell and being rejected by the Buddha?" He Sihai said angrily.

In fact, what he said also meant temptation.

To test whether this approach is Guangde's private action, or someone behind the scenes acquiesces to his approach.

"There is something to give and something to gain. In order to save everyone from the sea of ​​suffering, the old monk is willing to bear this evil, so what if he goes to hell, but hell..." Monk Guangde sang the Buddha's name and did not continue.

"What's wrong with hell?" He Sihai asked.

But Monk Guangde sang the Buddha's name again and did not answer.

Instead, he said: "Master He, the three of you have traveled all the way. You must be hungry and thirsty. Do you want to try it too?"

"Master, let's keep it for yourself, I'm here to fulfill Master's wish." He Sihai said.

Monk Guangde heard the words and sang the Buddha's name, and then said: "There is no incense here. Naturally, He Benefactor can't offer incense to me. It's a pity."

He Sihai shifted his eyes to the firewood under the tripod, and said with a smile on his face: "Not necessarily."

"Oh, is that so?" Monk Guangde smiled calmly.

"However, before that, Xuanxuan, raise the lights." He Sihai suddenly lowered his head and said to Xuanxuan who was close to him.

When Xuanxuan heard this, she immediately threw the soul lamp in her hand into the air.

The soul-inducing lamp was so bright that it even obscured the golden light behind Monk Guangde's head.

Under the illumination of the soul-inducing lamp, the eyes of the refugees who were originally dull, like walking corpses, all became lively.

And the food in the cauldron, under the illumination of the soul-inducing lamp, all turned into its original form, turning into corpses one after another.

Fortunately, the two little guys couldn't see the scene in the cauldron because they were too short.

Chapter 487

Seeing that He Sihai destroyed his "good deeds", Monk Guangde was not angry, and sang the Buddha's name: "He benefactor, there are gains and losses, every drink and peck, there is a cause and there is an effect. What I did was just thinking It’s all about saving more people and keeping more people alive.”

"After their death, their bodies become useless, rotten, and return to dust. In this case, why waste it? Why not let more people survive, and because of this, they can enter the Buddha's kingdom through good deeds, escape from the sea of ​​suffering, and enjoy bliss forever."

He Sihai suddenly felt that what Monk Guangde said made sense.

But think about it—it makes sense, shit.

There is a difference between humans and animals. The book says that humans can use tools.

But this is definitely one-sided. Many animals also use tools, such as gorillas, who can use wooden sticks to eat termites and so on.

In He Sihai's view, the biggest difference between humans and animals is actually the moral level. If a person has no morality, he is no longer a person.

"You are simply not human." He Sihai said.

Unexpectedly, Monk Guangde nodded and agreed with He Sihai's words.

He Sihai: "..."

"I am a Buddha." Monk Guangde said.

Then the round light at the back of the head brightened, resisting the attack of the light of the soul-inducing lamp.

"But you have no compassion." He Sihai said.

"Then He benefactor, what do you think is compassion?" Monk Guangde asked.

"Of course..." He Sihai was suddenly at a loss for words.

Because there is no absolute mercy in this world, if you know that saving a person will kill another person in the future, should you save or not?

Therefore, the compassion of Buddhism has never been understood by pity, kind thoughts, and doing good deeds.

Compassion in Buddhism is great love. He loves the world and does not love the world. He is impartial and everything is equal.

Equality, on the other hand, usually means ruthlessness.

So the compassion of Buddhism is actually another kind of ruthlessness in disguise.

If you understand it in this way, you can understand what Monk Guangde did.

But this is only He Sihai's one-sided understanding. He is just a "child" who has not graduated from high school. How can he know so much?

What's more, understanding belongs to understanding, but I still don't agree with his approach.

"Great monk, let me burn incense for you first before discussing this issue." He Sihai said.

"Alas~ Master He, since this is the case, I can only offend him." After the monk Guangde said, he raised the young man in his hand and knocked He Sihai on the head.
