One Piece: Flowing Blade-Like Flame

Zhang Yang and his party went west. They have been walking for more than a month. They left the Tibetan country of Us and came to Futu Mountain.

Ba Jie took the horse, and then pointed to the mountain and said, "This is Futu Mountain. There is a Wuchao Zen master who is practicing on the mountain, and the old pig recognizes him. But he is a bit difficult to deal with, so we should leave as soon as possible. "

Riding on the horse, Zhang Yang said disapprovingly: "Since I am a cultivator, I naturally have to meet the other side. I always meet monsters along the way, and I haven't run into any gods yet."

Wukong jokes that he has never seen the world, and said: "What is good about the gods? When my grandson was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, there were no rare gods. They were all the same, there was nothing to see."

Zhang Yang was unhappy, and retorted: "You two, a Monkey King and a marshal of the canopy, are naturally vomiting. I am not as easy as you to see them and listen to me. After going up for a while, I will go and look for that one. What bird master."

Bajie corrected him: "It's Zen Master Wuchao. By the way, brother, you said that gods are all the same, I don't agree, there are still good gods in the sky, but most of them are hidden in the country, and they don't express themselves very much."

Wukong knew who Bajie was talking about. Naturally, it was Taibaijinxing, the civil servant of the court. He was the one who pulled Wukong to heaven, and he was the one who pleaded for Wukong. Later, he was also the one who introduced Bajie to the sky to eliminate the galaxy water monster, who pleaded for Bajie. It's him, too platinum star, really busy.

Now that I thought of this, Wukong had to ask: "Ba Jie, to ask you a question, your master will not mention his surname or first name, but my grandson guessed that he is definitely not a person in Buddhism, but should belong to Taoism. You are now taking the path of taking refuge in my Buddha. Are you afraid of offending your master?"

Ba Jie smiled and said: "The brother's statement is serious. Even the Jade Emperor is the unity of the three religions. What is the difference between Lao Zhu, who was born in Taoism and later converted to Buddhism? Besides, he has broken off contact with me, even if I convert to the Buddha, and He doesn’t have a half-centre relationship. On the contrary, it’s you, brother. Naturally, you weren’t a Buddhism before.”

Wukong said: "Now it is unreasonable to say that my grandson's skills are all learned by himself. However, after my master has taught me all of my skills, he also broke the relationship with me. He also said that no matter what misfortune is caused, he is not allowed to mention it. His name.

Now that I have been walking along the way, I have been thinking about why there was a riot in the temple and what the master said, only to vaguely realize that it seems that he has known that I will cause trouble, but he has not deliberately reminded me that this is something I can't figure out. . "

Ba Jie said: "Senior brother, you don't have to think so deeply. You have already converted to my Buddha. Let the past go with the wind."

Unexpectedly, Wukong stared at Ba Jie very deeply and said to him: "My old Sun didn't say anything about taking refuge in my Buddha."

Listening to a pig and a monkey saying things that Zhang Yang couldn’t understand, he had ears with calluses a long time ago, so he interrupted them: "I said, now you two masters are me, good or bad, what kind of Buddha and Tao? I only believe in the spirit of communism!"

Wukong and Bajie couldn't understand what Zhang Yang was talking about. Bajie asked first, "Master, Guanyin sent you to learn the scriptures. Why don't you believe in Buddha?"

Zhang Yang got down from the white dragon, stretched his waist and twisted his hips, and then said: "I just don't understand why people should kneel down if Buddha is not vain. If Buddha has no greed, why should people worship? Of course your current thinking is very different. It’s hard to understand. The purpose of religion is actually to manage and control the masses at the very beginning, so that you will be afraid, and then you will be submissive."

Wukong stared at Zhang Yang with interest, and said, "Bald donkey, you really surprised Lao Sun, you still have this realization. Many people don't understand this, and blindly believe in Buddha, trying to get the Buddha to help them clear all the difficulties. , But I haven't seen anyone from Buddha Du."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "In fact, there is nothing wrong with believing in this thing. In fact, people who have faith are much happier and happier than people who do not.

These people have unpleasant things in their hearts, so they will pray and talk. From a psychological point of view, they will vent their emotions appropriately, and part of their worries and pain will be vented, and people will be much more relaxed. .

To give another example, two people suffered desperate things at the same time. One had no faith and was unwilling to talk to others. His worries and pains accumulated in his heart. In the end, he did not erupt in silence, but died in silence.

He committed suicide; and two people with faith, he is willing to confide these things like faith, and the troubles in his heart will disappear a little bit. Instead, he will face the motivation of life again. Under certain circumstances, the Buddha is actually crossing people. To put it more popularly, it means that people flee themselves by themselves.

Monkey, I dare to bet with you, when you were at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, you didn't even have a person to confide in. If you lack faith, you must be very painful. And now, if Bajie believes in the Buddha, he must be a little happier than you. "

Where did Wukong have heard of such a novel theory, although it is strange, it is not without reason. The bald donkey in front of him neither belittles Buddhism nor praises Buddhism. It is completely neutral. In this regard, he is a bit similar to that golden cicada.

Zhang Yang patted Wukong on the shoulder and said, "If you don’t want to have faith, you can actually have friends. You can talk to your friends, or just tell me, say to Bajie, tell Xiaobailong, even though we just We got together not long ago, but there is still a long way to go. We are actually the closest people."

Ba Jie also said at this time: "Brother, what the master said is reasonable. For five hundred years, your thoughts are all in your heart. The feeling is very uncomfortable, the old pig understands."

Wukong waved his hand and smiled bitterly, and said, "Fine, let's talk about it when you have time."

Zhang Yang and Ba Jie looked at each other, without forcing him to do anything, so they continued on the road. Wukong walked in the forefront. He kept thinking about all the words Zhang Yang had just said, and a familiar feeling filled his heart, just like the warmth he felt when he was first named Monkey King by the ancestor of Bodhi.

Wukong never called Master Zhang Yang because he felt unworthy. The master in his heart was actually two candidates, Bodhi Patriarch and Jin Chanzi, but now, he seems to have changed his attention.

The three of them went up the mountain and came to a huge juniper tree. On the tree was a huge bird-shaped nest made of firewood and black. Zhang Yang walked over and kicked the tree trunk to call the Zen Master Wuchao. Ba Jie shook his head helplessly, as if he could not hide.

After a few kicks, Zhang Yang stared at it intently at some movement from the lair. After a while, black smoke slowly ignited from the lair. ..
