Chapter 183 Why Are You so Bad as a Human Being?
Unfortunately, because of the anger of the monkey, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons gave him the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Elixir, the most precious treasure of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and the Ten Thousand Years Inner Pill that she had refined.
I just hope that after the ape is gone, I can finally stay with her in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons for eternity.
However, the two of them were separated by life and death, and everything came to nothing.
Afterwards, the Bird Fairy, also known as the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, went to any length to avenge her beloved.
He led thousands of demons to retaliate, thus angering Heaven, but he still tried every possible means not to change his mind.
However, when the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons saw the reincarnated Ape, her defenses were finally broken.
In my eyes I looked at this crouching Arhat who had experienced the world of mortals and took refuge in my Buddha.
Thinking about the promise made by the monkey, after defeating Sun Wukong, he would come back and stay with her for thousands of years.
Suddenly, I felt heartbroken.
At this time, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons was already devastated. I became a demon for you, but what awaited you was that you immediately became a Buddha and put down the butcher's knife.
What she wanted to do was not to become a tiger-crouching ape.
But I became a demon for you, but you kept it secret from me and became a Buddha. I don’t blame you for becoming a Buddha, but why didn’t you take me with you when you became a Buddha?
The fate of him and the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons in the original timeline kept popping up in Yang Jiao's mind.
There was a complex and unpredictable emotion in his eyes. He didn't know why, but his incarnation of the Three Poisons was always inseparable from the love in the world.
Could it be that his usual single-minded devotion to the Tao was all an illusion, or that he was suppressed too hard and was not discovered by himself.
At this moment, Yang Jiao couldn't help but feel a headache.
Suddenly, a spiritual thought came, ordering him to return to Maitreya Dojo immediately.
The sky is beyond the sky.
A suspended fairy island surrounded by fairy spirit and full of Buddhist charm.
A Buddha with the head of a kappa, a fat figure and a cassock, was holding a fragrant watermelon in a melon field full of spiritual energy, and was patting it gently.
"Master, I don't know what the instructions are for calling my disciple here."
Yang Jiaoza appeared in front of the fat Buddha.
"My watermelon is ripe and I want to taste it with you."
"Master, you think I'm too harsh on those mortals."
Yang Jiao went straight in.
The Buddha of the past burned the lamp, the present Buddha is Tathagata, and the future Buddha Maitreya is the person who carries the cauldron of Buddhism in this world, and is an existence that stands at the pinnacle of the three realms.
Therefore, Yang Jiao knew very well that as a disciple of Maitreya Buddha, he would definitely pay great attention to his every move.
After all, in addition to being one of the catastrophes faced by Tianding's pilgrims on their journey to the west, he is also the future crouching tiger Arhat of Buddhism.
"Master understands the saying that what you sow will reap. Disciple, do you think that you saved these mortals from fire and water back then, but now they are ungrateful, so you resorted to this cruel trick."
Maitreya Buddha put the watermelon in his hand on the ground and looked at Yang Jiao with serious words:
"Don't forget to repay kindness. Even so, what can you do? You inflict bad luck that is far beyond the reach of mortals. It is just a few more murders in vain."
"Why can't you forgive them? Maybe if you show reason and show emotion, they will realize their mistake."
"Master, you have been a Buddha for countless years. Don't you know that human nature is inherently evil and that there is no end to human darkness?"
"This is human beings. Isn't that what humans are like? There is nothing worse than humans."
Yang Jiao said softly with an expressionless face:
"In the mortal world, people often call pigs and dogs inferior. To my disciple, this is an insult to pigs and dogs. Can any of them be so bad?"
He asked and answered himself:
"Master, do you know how monsters in the lower world scold each other?"
"How can you be as bad as a human being?"
When Maitreya Buddha heard the words, he was speechless. A pair of Buddha eyes stared at Yang Jiao, and he felt that the ape in front of him was different from the past and did not play according to the routine.
After a few breaths, he spoke in a deep voice:
"Disciple, don't talk about it. I'm afraid what you really care about is that your Divine Monkey General Pavilion has turned into the Great Sage Pavilion."
"I even became angry with Sun Wukong, thinking that he snatched the Poseidon Needle, modified the Book of Life and Death, and caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Yet he could learn scriptures, perform meritorious deeds, and become an immortal and a Buddha."
"But I have made so many meritorious deeds, not only is my reputation not as good as his, but even now, I have not been given a chance to achieve righteousness."
When Yang Jiao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. After five hundred years of getting along with each other, Maitreya Buddha was very accurate about his unawakened past life.
"Master, do you think that although I have done many good deeds and take it as my duty to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, I still have no reputation."
"I thought I still held onto my name and my heart was attached to it, so I became angry with Sun Wukong."
There was a hint of confusion in Maitreya Buddha's eyes, and he heard Yang Jiao calmly say:
"When a group of children were playing by the river, only one child decided to follow the instructions of his elders and play on the bank of the river, while the other children all chose to jump into the river to play."
"A big boat was coming quickly and was about to hit the children in the river."
"At this moment, we can only use magic to make the big ship crash into the shore. In this way, the children who have been playing on the shore will be sacrificed, and a group of children in the river will be saved."
When Yang Jiao said this, he asked Maitreya Buddha slowly:
"If it were you, would you be able to cast a spell?"
Although Maitreya Buddha didn't know why his disciple would ask such a question, he still thought about it slightly.
From the perspective of the problem itself, sacrificing only one child on the shore can save a group of children in the river. This is the most rational decision both morally and emotionally.
However, for Maitreya Buddha, a strong man who overlooks all living beings in the three realms, there is no difference between one life and multiple lives.
In the world, no one's life is greater than anyone else's. After all, in the eyes of Buddha, all living beings are equal.
"Don't take action."
After a while, Maitreya Buddha said decisively.
"Yes, why should a child, who clearly made the right decision, have to pay the price for a group of people who made the wrong decision?"
Yang Jiao looked at Maitreya Buddha and said word by word:
"Master, since you know it very well, why did you warn me like that before?"
"Obviously it was those mortals who were ungrateful first, but they asked me to forget about it, let it go, and bear everything."
"Is it just because I am your disciple that everything should be taken for granted!"
"Is this fair?"
Maitreya Buddha swallowed his words, but he didn't expect that today's monkey's tongue was as sharp as a sword, and he couldn't even parry it.
Moreover, from the conversation, he didn't realize that his disciple was always talking about things rather than people, and he didn't have any resentment towards Sun Wukong.
"In this world, a few people often sacrifice for the benefit of the majority."
"No matter how stupid and ignorant the majority are, no matter how visionary and wise the minority are."
Yang Jiao said indifferently without any emotion:
"If the child who chose not to play in the river with other children was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him except his relatives."
"Because most people in the world think this decision is the right one."
“After all, the right decision is not always the one that everyone supports, and what everyone supports is not always the right one.”
"And I, the Homo sapiens, have been your disciple for five hundred years, and I am a master and a disciple. Not only do you not think about me, but you want me to let go, and you also say that I have no reputation."
"Is this the so-called Dharma and the so-called compassion?"
