Chapter 289 Buddha Saves Those Who Are Predestined

Then a strange voice came from the arms of the Thousand-Armed Buddha statue.

It's like glass being rubbed by sandpaper, or like a piece of porcelain being cut by a knife tip.

As soon as it reached everyone's ears, they felt a pain of being torn apart.

Anyone who hears it will have their hair stand on end, and anyone who hears it will be terrified.

People's hearts were in turmoil, there were sounds of restlessness, and the flickering fire seemed like evil spirits hiding in the darkness. Even Chang Wei, who was always bold, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, putting his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and looking forward vigilantly.

Everyone was panicking, except the monk who was beating the wooden fish calmly.

He closed his eyes and chanted, and when he heard the noise he said, "Please don't panic, this is a happy Buddhist."

"Happy Buddhist?" The thieves were confused, as they had never heard of such a Buddhist.

"The Joyful Buddha's Son is the Holy Son of the Joyful Buddha who has transformed himself. He carries the relics in his body and does not enter the Three Realms and Six Paths. The Buddha's bones are brilliant, and his universal light saves all living beings. He is the Buddha's son sent down by Sakyamuni and Maitreya, and the World Honored One of the Three Realms of Buddhism. This entry into the world is to save all living beings from suffering. In the turbulent sea of ​​suffering, the Joyful Buddha's Son holds a small boat to save all living beings, free them from their desires, and lead them to bliss. There is no sorrow or joy, no happiness or joy, and he calms the seven emotions and six desires of all living beings, and saves people in the world from immeasurable suffering." The monk chanted, with a bit of charm in his voice.

Anyone who heard it would feel guilty.

There is no passion or desire, as if one understands the sadness of life.

They put down their weapons, knelt on the ground with their hands clasped together, kowtowed to the Thousand-Armed Buddha, confessed their sins, and told him everything they had done.

"Buddha is above, and I am guilty"

"It's my fault, it's my fault. I am guilty. I shouldn't be so greedy for worldly desires. Please, Buddha, save me."

There was crying and shouting everywhere, all of them were repenting for their previous actions. Even Chang Wei knelt on the ground and told everyone about his evil deeds.

Li Daoxuan on the side watched everything coldly and had some understanding of the monk's methods.

What the monk said sounded nice, but it was all empty talk. What about saving all living beings, and what about the suffering of all living beings comes from desire. The monk himself has done all kinds of bad things, and now he wants to put the blame on human desire. He really has a lot of crooked ways and is deceiving this group of ignorant thieves.

In addition, he had just used some secret method that could bewitch people's emotions. These thieves who had just experienced lust naturally could not resist and their brains were hooked by this secret method.

But this is also good, let's see what this monk is going to do.

Li Daoxuan remained calm and allowed the monk to continue "praying for the souls of the dead".

"The Buddha said: All living beings create delusions, and their minds give rise to thoughts, so they are always in hell."

"All dharmas are like illusions, their true nature is empty, so why should they be eliminated? If you know that the mind is not a form, it is still and unmoving, and it is the true nature."

The monk said that the thieves kneeling on the ground were crying and chanting "Buddha, please save me" in their mouths. They were all extremely pious.

After a long time, he stopped the wooden fish, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I established the Joyful Zen Sect to save sentient beings from suffering. The Buddhist disciples you all hope for know that it is the matter of saving the true self."

“Please give us some guidance, Master!” everyone bowed.

"The suffering of man is nothing but the four desires: love, sex, food, and lust. The four desires all arise from greed, which leads to the delusion of wealth and riches. People are trapped in a state of confusion, and they run around all day for greed. How lamentable and pathetic."

"You are all people with miserable lives. You are forced to commit crimes. Buddha said: If you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha immediately. Even the most evil person has a kind heart."

"Yes, Master, you are right! We all have good intentions! We do evil things only because we have no choice!" The thieves listened to the monk's words and were delighted as if they had found some treasure. They threw everything they had to the changes in the world, and the evil things they did were all involuntarily. In this way, their consciences were at peace, and they could feel at ease.

"Bah, what kind of nonsense is this? This bald donkey has no good intentions." Li Daoxuan cursed inwardly. He really didn't want to listen to such crooked and unorthodox talk.

If it were possible, he would definitely scold the monk severely, but unfortunately he still had to observe secretly for a while and not expose himself. He saw the monk brainwashing the thieves, and the thieves also felt that they had done nothing wrong, kneeling on the ground and loudly begging for salvation, while the monk had a compassionate face.

"Amitabha, the Buddha will surely help you cleanse your sins." The monk smiled, and then he pointed to the Thousand-armed Buddha statue, "The Buddha's son sits in the Buddha, and it is the Dharma of universal salvation. You can all go to the Buddha to pay homage, and if you can be saved by the Buddha's son, you can go to the Western Paradise and enjoy bliss forever from now on."

As soon as the monk finished speaking, someone ran out excitedly, ran towards the Buddha statue, bent down and got into it.

The man looked at the dim Buddha statue with a happy expression on his face, and saw something shining with golden light, sitting in the darkness.

He was overjoyed, thinking that he could be saved by the Buddha, so he knelt down and worshipped. However, as soon as his legs touched the ground, he realized something was wrong.

He saw half a pig's head lying in front of him, with a pair of empty eyes looking at him quietly.

The thief was startled and just as he was about to stand up, he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if his head was clamped by an iron clamp and would be crushed at any time.

The thief wanted to scream in pain, but when he looked closely at what was in front of him, he was scared out of his wits. The person who appeared in his sight was not a happy Buddhist at all, but a skinny weirdo.

This strange man was dark gold in color, his eyes were empty, and there were only a few teeth left in his mouth. When he grinned, a foul smell came out.

The thief tried to break free, but found his neck was strangled. Then the strange man stretched out his head, opened his mouth, and bit his neck hard.

His legs struggled desperately, but after a while, they stopped moving.

There was nothing else in the Buddha, only a strange man was left gnawing on the corpse.

The monk outside twitched his ears, clasped his hands and said, "I never thought that someone would be enlightened by the Buddha and now go to the Western Paradise."

When the people present heard this, they were all excited and each of them stood up and wanted to seek enlightenment from the Buddha.

The monk did not stop them. More than ten people went there and back. After they left, they never came back. They were all liberated and sent to the Western Paradise.

The monk praised: "All people in the world are like Buddha. Now we are happy that Buddha is compassionate and can save all living beings. As long as they are sincere, they will no longer suffer in this life."

These words made everyone excited. Seeing so many people going to Wuhui, they all felt that those people had been enlightened and went to the Western Paradise to enjoy themselves.

Even Chang Wei was confused by the monk's words and wanted to go into the Buddha statue.

But how could Li Daoxuan let him go like this? How could more than ten people go to the Western Paradise without returning? I'm afraid they have already died and gone to the underworld.

No one noticed such an obvious situation. We can only say that monks do a lot of brainwashing in their daily lives.

Seeing that Chang Wei wanted to go, Li Daoxuan kicked him.

"Great Immortal, what's the matter?"

"Don't join in the fun. There might be something fishy going on."

"It's a trick?!" Chang Wei woke up and regained consciousness.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked in a low voice: "Master, what was I just now?"

"You were bewitched by this monk. You took a few steps forward and nearly lost your life." Li Daoxuan said angrily, "If I hadn't woken you up, you would have fallen into the tiger's mouth."

"Thank you very much for saving my life." Chang Wei let out a long sigh.

When he came to his senses again, his back was soaked.
