My Buddha is Merciful [short story]

Yin Ruoming leaned on the soft chair carelessly, picked up a fruit and put it in his mouth.

It's funny to say that when he was cultivating Taoism, he tried his best to keep up with everyone's practice. However, after becoming a demon, his Taoism has been advancing rapidly, and his demon energy has a suppressive effect on other demon cultivators, as if he was born to be go this way.

Yin Ruoming lowered his eyelids halfway, not letting a trace of his thoughts leak out.Since he became a demon, countless little demons have come to take refuge in him, and there are even some powerful and tyrannical ones among them.He also suspected that there was some kind of conspiracy, but when they came to him, they all knelt down and bowed down, trembling all over, and their fear did not seem to be fake.

Yin Ruoming's slender nails lightly brushed his blood-red lips, thoughtfully: The little demons said that this is bloodline suppression, and the higher the level of demons, the stronger the pressure.Could it be that Yin Ruoming was still a big devil in his previous life?But Xiaomo said that the more pure-blooded a demon is, the less able he is to cultivate.Although Yin Ruoming said that his talent was not good before, it was not that he could not cultivate.He believes that he is definitely a great demon, maybe the highest demon, so these unexplainable mysteries—what the hell is going on?

Yin Ruoming asked Xiao Mo to tell the legends of those famous demons, and one of the stories caught his attention. 3000 years ago, the demon appeared in the world, and all living beings suffered catastrophe. The Buddha said that the demon is also life, and he couldn't bear to kill it, so he preached to him for ninety-nine and 81 days to influence the demon.Afterwards, the demons often accompanied the Buddha until thousands of years ago, when the Buddha passed away and the demons disappeared.

"The Buddha passed away, and the demon disappeared?" Yin Ruoming silently recited it in his heart, and a sense of sadness arose in his heart, which pierced him so much that he couldn't wish to live.He suddenly remembered his original heart, the soft eyebrows and the faint smile of that person, but he looked at everyone the same.

The Buddha said: All living beings are equal... Yin Ruoming blinked, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye unconsciously.

"My lord, there is a monk asking to see me!" A little demon came in to announce.

"Oh?" Yin Ruoming's heart moved, and he stood in front of Benxin before he could react.

Seeing Benxin again, Yin Ruoming was suddenly moved for no reason, and he tried his best to restrain his urge to hug him in his arms.But when he saw the eyes with his original heart still clear, with the unchanging compassion in his brows, he felt a chill in his heart.

Yin Ruoming was determined, he couldn't let himself be disturbed by his previous life.Heh, in this life, he is just Yin Ruoming, the Yin Ruoming who blocks people from killing people and Buddhas from destroying Buddhas!

"Master, today you came here uninvited. I don't know what you can do?" Yin Ruoming's imposing manner made a group of little demons fall to the ground in fright.

"Amitabha," Ben Xin clasped his hands together, with pity in his eyes, and sighed, "The donor has already sinned deeply, and he still looks forward to the boundless sea of ​​suffering, so he will be right when he turns back!"

Yin Ruoming snorted coldly, turned around, and his robe flew up, and he landed on the throne.

His aura became more severe, and the little devil in the palace trembled, and even the devil's aura began to dissipate gradually.

Benxin sighed, stretched out his hand, and with flashes of golden light, he sent the little devil out of the hall.

Yin Ruoming watched his movements calmly, and was in a trance for a moment - this scene seemed familiar...

Yin Ruoming smiled: "Master Benxin is really a bodhisattva with a heart...Speaking of which, this deity is able to get to where he is today, thanks to the jade pendant of Master Benxin..." Yin Ruoming looked at him with a strange expression, "Otherwise, this deity also Unable to avenge, the entire Yin family has been slaughtered...Master, tell me, is this a meritorious deed, or a sin..."

Hearing the words, I couldn't bear it, closed my eyes tightly, and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.

He practiced Buddhism and could predict the future, but he still couldn't understand people's hearts...

He thought that as long as Yin Ruoming was not pushed into a desperate situation, he would have no reason to become a demon, but unexpectedly...

Sins, all sins...

After Ben Xin finished reading the Buddhist scriptures, he opened his eyes and saw the mocking smile on Yin Ruoming's mouth.

"Why, has Master Benxin made up his mind to eradicate this demon?"

Ben Xin shook his head, seeing that his eyes were still clear, like deep pools and ancient wells, without a trace of waves.He recited "Amitabha" and said: "The demonic nature of the donor is hard to get rid of, and it may bring disaster to all beings. However, I believe that the donor has good thoughts in his heart, but he is suppressed to the depth by the demonic nature. get back on track.”

"Let me tell you, when are you going to stay with me!" Yin Ruoming pumped his energy irritably, seeing that a thousand-year-old pine not far away was about to disappear from the world, a soft golden light enveloped it, and the ancient pine trembled A few shakes, still standing proudly.

"Amitabha," Yuan Xin's expression remained unchanged, but he said slowly, "It's not easy for a thousand-year-old pine to grow, and it can successfully transform into shape in a short time. The benefactor should let him live."

"Oh?" Yin Ruoming was even more upset when he was stopped by his heart. He was almost driven crazy by his heart for the past few dozen days!

Benxin really did what he said, not only stayed with him every step of the way, and taught him the Dharma every day, but also when Yin Ruoming wanted to do something, he would stop Yin Ruoming and advise him not to increase the number of murders. Again he made a point.

Yin Ruoming deeply doubts that if he doesn't turn around, his heart will continue to be exhausted like this.

"Master Benxin, the world is so big, and I am not the only devil, why do you insist on following me, wasting your energy for nothing?" Yin Ruoming said with a smile on his face, but gritted his teeth.

Benxin smiled lightly, "Don't worry about the benefactor, the Buddhist cultivators in the world are not alone. I believe that other devils will also have like-minded people to influence them. Since I have met the benefactor, I must not let the benefactor be with you." The sea of ​​bitterness is sinking. Besides, now the benefactor can think of others, and I am very pleased..."

"I... oh, forget it!" Yin Ruoming was a little annoyed, but all the annoyance disappeared miraculously when he saw Ben Xin smiling.

His heart trembled, is he going to fall again?He stared at Ben Xin with a complicated look on his face, but Ben Xin still had compassionate eyes, but seemed to turn a blind eye to Yin Ruoming's struggle.

Yin Ruoming felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, it was so cold to the bone.

He suddenly saw an ant passing by carrying food on the ground, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he lifted his foot slightly, and was stopped by his heart as expected.

Yin Ruoming smiled lightly: "What? It's just an ant. Should Master Benxin take care of it? You must know that ants are short-lived and have not developed their spiritual wisdom. Even if they can reproduce for generations and live endlessly, they are just the most humble animals. That's all."

Yin Ruoming half closed his eyelids, with a strand of hair hanging down, he couldn't see his expression clearly, "Or... Master Benxin has really learned the true teachings of Buddhism, and everything in the world is the same in your eyes?"

"Today I just crushed an ant to death, but the mortals in the world don't know how many livestock have been slaughtered and how much meat oil they have eaten. Could it be that... Master Ben Xin can't save them one by one?"

Yin Ruoming parted his hair, revealing his twinkling eyes, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Master, is everyone going to be a vegetarian? But, aren't those intelligent plants also life? Master Benxin doesn't sympathize. Are they?"

Ben Xin clasped his hands together, said "Amitabha Buddha" and said: "Since the beginning of heaven and earth, all things have been reproduced according to the law. Their behavior is in accordance with the law. It is for survival and order. The original mind dare not interfere. However, the donor stepped on the ants, The broken pine wood is only caused by the demons of the heart, so it is the heart that stops the benefactor, I hope the benefactor can be more considerate."

Yin Ruoming looked at him straight, his heart was neither evasive nor evasive, his eyes were calm.Yin Ruoming's heart suddenly moved, and he wanted to say something but he didn't say it in the end.

He took a deep look at Ben Xin, turned around and left, his clothes were flying and his hair was flamboyant, which seemed to be condescending to the world.

"Isn't Master Benxin going to teach the Dharma for this deity? This deity has something to do tonight, if the master can't come in time, this deity will not wait!"

The bright moon was in the sky, and it was already midnight.

Yin Ruoming stood with his hands behind his back, with a calm expression on his face. He clearly seemed to do whatever he wanted, but there was an indescribable sadness.

A little demon rushed over, knelt down outside the courtyard and said, "My lord, Master Benxin is not in the room at the moment, it seems... It seems that he left without saying goodbye."

"Hehehehe..." Yin Ruoming gently fiddled with his hair, looked at the corner where the moonlight was out of reach and looked even darker, and said in a low voice, "Let's leave without saying goodbye..."

He flicked his sleeve suddenly, and before the little devil outside the courtyard could let out a scream, it had already disappeared into the vast night sky.

He looked up at the full moon, and at this moment, a dark cloud was passing by, Yin Ruoming evoked a smile of unknown meaning: "My heart, do you think you can get away unscathed after you provoked me?"

At this time, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was brightly lit.

The bell rang again and again in the temple, and all the monks rushed to the main hall one after another, sat on the ground, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures.

"Brother Bendao, Benxin is back." Benxin put his palms together, saluted, looked at the monk sitting cross-legged on the mat, and said softly.

Ben Dao slowly opened his closed eyes, and looked carefully at Ben Xin, with a loving smile in his eyes.

"Original heart, brother suddenly summoned you back because of senior brother, I figured out that you are in trouble recently..." He slowly turned his gaze to an unknown distance, and slightly sighed, "Original heart, if you are not a monk who cultivated , how good it would be..."

Ben Dao looked at Ben Xin again, with a sad look on his face, "Brother's day is here, from now on... I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you anymore...Brother Ben Xin, I hope you can remember: I, Buddha, is merciful." , although it is the righteous way, but the Buddha and the devil are incompatible, you must not soften your heart...!"

Ben Xin kept silent, just quietly listening to Ben Dao's exhortations word by word, his expression unchanged.

Seeing this, Ben Dao smiled vicissitudes of life.He chanted "Amitabha!" hoarsely, and then fell silent, like a dead tree, motionless and waveless.

"Master Benxin left without saying goodbye, this is not a good habit!" Yin Ruoming smiled and walked in as if no one else was around.He looked at the situation in the room, smiled deeper, then walked up to Ben Xin, and said softly, "This deity has been waiting for the master for a long time, the master said - how can you compensate me?"

Before answering from the heart, the Dao has already said in a heavy voice: "Demon Venerable?"

He looked at the situation of the two of them and realized that they had known each other for a long time.He suddenly laughed maniacally: "It's all God's will! Buddhas and demons are destined to meet each other. From now on, there will be no Buddhas and no demons in the world!"

The Dao took a deep look at Yin Ruoming, and said in a deep voice: "Mozun, you were not satisfied in the previous life, so what should you do in this life? You must know that the original mind is a true Buddha, and what you practice is the way of abandonment. The so-called way of abandonment means giving up the seven emotions and cutting off the six desires." , I’m afraid that even though you’ve tried your best, you still won’t get what you want!”

Yin Ruoming's eyes sank, and he stared straight at Ben Dao, suddenly filled with killing intent.

But the Dao remained unmoved, and continued to say: "The poor monk's life is approaching, and he can no longer pose any threat to the demon. I hope that after the poor monk leaves, the demon can stick to his original intention and not increase the number of murders. It is the luck of the world. .”

"Original heart," Ben Dao sighed again, "From now on, I hope you can take care of yourself!" As he spoke, his breath lightened, his eyes were lifeless, and he passed away.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three consecutive heavy bells rang throughout the temple, and all the monks in the main hall chanted "Amitabha!", and then recited the Merit Sutra and the Sutra of Rebirth together, looking extraordinarily solemn and solemn.

Benxin also said "Amitabha", sat cross-legged, and began to chant sutras.Yin Ruoming watched his movements quietly, his eyebrows and eyes were as always, with a compassionate color.

However, Yin Ruoming was shocked: Ben Dao had nurtured and taught Ben Xin for several years, but the Dao passed away, and there was no trace of sadness on Ben Xin's face.He suddenly remembered what he said just now, that what he cultivated in his heart was the way of abandonment.

The so-called way of giving up: giving up affection, giving up desire, giving up oneself.

Suddenly, Ben Xin felt a pain in his brow, he stopped chanting, his eyes were solemn.

And Yin Ruoming seemed to have sensed something, and hurried to Benxin's side, the feeling of being unclear was more obvious.

"Amitabha," Benxin sighed lowly, and said to Yin Ruoming, "Brother has gone, and the seal between the brows of the poor monk has loosened, but the seal disintegration is definitely not at such a speed. Something happened, I hope the benefactor can go to the front hall to inform the brothers and let them prepare early!"

Yin Ruoming didn't answer, he looked at the seemingly absent golden lines between Ben Xin's eyebrows, and stretched out his hands to cover them as if bewitched by something.At that moment, all the golden veins peeled off, and the evil spirit of blood gushed out.

However, no matter how ferocious those demonic auras are, they are extremely docile in front of Yin Ruoming.When Yin Ruoming touched it with his hand, thousands of demonic energy rushed into Yin Ruoming's body as if they had found their way home.

After the last trace of demon energy was absorbed into Yin Ruoming's body, Yin Ruoming realized that his heart had fainted.He didn't bother to check his body for any changes, and quickly hugged Benxin into his arms, but at that moment, a lot of memories flooded into his mind.
