Chen Xiaoxu also followed, and saw a large table of banquets on the tower of the city gate, with chickens, fish, meat and eggs, and a general with a wide body and fat body and wearing armor was sitting at the table with a golden sword, feasting.With such a big table and dozens of dishes, he was eating and drinking alone, and a few soldiers were waiting on the side, pouring food and wine for him, so it was not prestigious."
Zen master, long admiration of the great name, come and come, the banquet is ready, sit down and eat and drink together" Fadu Zen Master sat down opposite him, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Thanks to the general's kindness, the old monk is a monk, and wine and meat are not to be enjoyed." ”The general laughed and said, "The Zen master has never eaten wine and meat," "Lao Qu was sacrificed by his parents in the temple at the age of five, and he was a monk all his life. ”"Haha, what's the matter with the Zen master" "I heard that the general is going to kill people" "Ben Shuai is killing people every day. ”"I heard that the general is going to kill the people of this city" "This city is full of people, my Great Western Army came, and the people in the city did not want to surrender, but instead helped the government to defend the city and beat me, and now the city is broken, what is the use of staying."
The old monk began to persuade, the general smiled and listened, and after listening, he did not express his position, and said, "The Zen master said that killing people is an evil thing, and it is against the way of heaven, so dare to ask the Zen master, do you think that people are human beings, and their nature is good or evil" Fadu Zen Master said "People's hearts are like water, and the water is not turbid, only look at what is polluted, and there is a distinction between turbidity." ”The general waved his hand and said, "In my opinion, people's hearts are evil, five-year-old children, they like to kill insects and ants in the game, and they are not cruel."
To be a human being is the beginning of evil, and all things are born to support people, and there is nothing for people to repay heaven.All of them should be killed" After speaking, he pulled out a sharp saber, stuck it on the table, and sneered at the old monk Senran, "Master, I know why you came, I'm afraid you can't persuade me today, but you will be killed." ”Zen Master Fadu folded his hands together and pronounced the Buddha's name: "The general kills too much, and his life is rare." ”When the general heard this, he laughed instead of being angry, and said, "Don't be afraid, master, come and eat this guillotine first." ”Suddenly, his eyes rolled and he thought of something, "The master wants to persuade me not to slaughter the city, it's not impossible, the master is a well-known monk, never violates the precepts, if I have a full meal of wine and meat today, I will let the people in the city go, how" Fadu Zen Master thought about him and said, "Such a big thing, the general is willing to treat it as a child's play" The general smiled and said, "I want to kill people just because they make me angry, there is really no good in killing them, if the master makes me happy, then let them go, there is no harm." ”Seeing that the general was silent, the old monk laughed, beckoned people to pour wine, drank a big sip, picked up the bones and gnawed them, gobbled them up, and ate the meat on the table after a while.The general's eyes lit up as he watched from the side, and there was a kind of pleasure in realizing a bad taste."
Master, haha, you have broken the vows, you have practiced all your life, but you still broke the vows, and you will not be able to become a Buddha in the future."
Fadu Zen Master sat like that, in Chen Xiaoxu's opinion, he was tall and straight, like an ancient Buddha replaced by me, what would I do Chen Xiaoxu suddenly thought of the question that Ye Shaoyang gave himself before, in essence, it is similar to the experience of this old monk, killing people is to save people, but to save people not to be killed, but to save people first, what is right Chen Xiaoxu doubted his beliefs for the first time in his life, and then the scene in front of him changed again, but in prison, a jailer was listening to a prisoner speaking in a low voice, It is a pity that his theory was set as reactionary by the imperial court, and he himself was arrested and imprisoned, and he was going to be beheaded in a few days to show the public The jailer listened to his foreign words, although he did not understand very much, but he also felt that this prisoner was passionate about the country and the people, if he did not die, he must be able to become a great weapon and overthrow this rotten court, so he let him go in private, but he was arrested and executed by Ling Chi, but after he died without regrets, he was a woman Li, her husband was outside, she stayed at home alone, and she always paid attention to her name and did not associate with outsiders.I don't want to be injured one day but a man crawls outside the door, Yang Qi helps, the woman hesitates again and again, and finally saves him, recuperating at home for a few days, after the man leaves, the matter spreads, the neighbors all say that she raised a man, and when her husband returns, he listened to the rumors, reported to the patriarch, put the woman in the station cage, and then died The woman Wang, who was of excellent appearance, married to a certain eunuch in the capital, but when the country was broken, the capital was occupied by the Qiang people, and the noble generals of the Qiang people, I heard that the Wang family was beautiful and outstanding, and attracted a look, and it was really fascinating, and it was strong, and the Wang family did not obey.The general then threatened the lives of her entire family, and if she did not comply, she would slaughter them.In order to save the lives of all the clansmen, the woman committed herself to the thief, pretending to be affectionate, so that the general obeyed the words and released a lot of people who should have died, a few months later, there were righteous troops into the capital, the Qiang people were defeated, the woman was able to escape and go home, but the husband's family did not recognize her, scolded her for not being able to keep the festival, a letter of resignation drove out of the door, returned to her own mother's house, her parents were also ashamed of her, did not let her enter the door, and many defenders moved out of the "starvation is a small loss of festival and a big thing" The words of the sage reprimanded Wang, Wang committed suicide in anger, and the bones were abandoned in the wild, The husband's family and the mother's family were unwilling to be buried and then the picture flowed, and there were many such scenes, Chen Xiaoxu summed it up, and suddenly woke up, and understood that although the "stories" he saw seemed to be irregular, they were essentially very related, when he realized this, the picture turned around, and when it became clear again, he returned to Mount Meru, but looked around, there was no big ding, only a platform made of jade, counted a total of nineteen floors, there was a stone tablet on the top, and there was a big tripod behind the stone tabletChen Xiaoxu was curious in his heart, he was originally in the middle of the tripod, why was he outside at this time and where did this stone platform come from, I saw that there were auspicious clouds all over the big tripod, and the breath of the four directions was sucked into the tripod in wisps, and the weather was myriad, and at a glance, I knew that it was definitely not an ordinary place.Chen Xiaoxu went around to the front of the stele, only to see that the front of the stele was like marble, blue and clean, and the light that could be seen was different from different angles, and these colors were all things that Chen Xiaoxu had never seen.This statement is difficult to describe, because people can't describe or imagine things they haven't seen, such as colors, who can imagine a color they have never seen before
