Chapter 699: A Journey of Journey (1/2)

After getting the alchemy furnace, Ding Jie worked non-stop, running around the town with Xuan Kong for half a day before he collected all the things.

It can be seen that Ding Jie has long wanted to explore the Buddhist country. She knows the locations of various necessities and quickly prepared everything.

Among them, the most eye-catching is an iron carriage.

This carriage is very large and can store a large amount of supplies inside.

After putting the purchased supplies into it, Ding Jie explained: "The interior of the Buddha Kingdom is full of invisible curses of the end of the law, so we can't use things like storage bags. So I spent money to buy this iron horse to facilitate our travel. This is the iron horse I carefully selected, with a full five horsepower. Isn't it amazing?"

"It's impressive, but what is horsepower?"

"The strength of one horse is one horsepower. The strength of five horses is five horsepower."

"What about the horse?"

"Oh, he's still saying goodbye to his wife and daughter. He'll be here later."

Although Xuankong knew that this place was extremely outrageous, he still felt it was particularly outrageous when he heard this sentence.

After taking a long breath, he asked seriously, "Why does the horse want to say goodbye?"

"You are going on a long journey, why can't you say goodbye?" Ding Jie was even more surprised than Xuan Kong, "You Buddhists are too cruel, aren't you? Don't deny human rights just because he is a horse!"

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying."

After patiently waiting for a while with Ding Jie, Xuan Kong finally waited for a sturdy man to come here. As he walked, he said to the woman behind him: "My lady, if I can't come back, you should find a good family to marry!"

The woman wiped the tears from her eyes and said softly, "You are such a scoundrel. You are the only one who can stand my temper. If you can't come back, I will raise the child and then go find you."

"What you said... I will definitely come back. I'll go back soon. It's not good to keep my employer waiting for too long."

The woman looked back every few steps, and the burly man waved his hand impatiently to tell her to go away quickly. However, after the woman turned around and left, he stopped and stared at her for a long time until her figure became smaller and smaller, and only when she blended into the crowd did he walk towards the iron carriage.

After exchanging the voucher with Ding Jie, the man said, "Sir, I'm here. Do you want to see the quality?"

"No need." Ding Jie said immediately, "Everyone knows that Brother White Dragon Horse is a first-class horse. There is no need to test it. Let's go."

"Okay!" Bai Longma nodded seriously, then looked at Xuan Kong and said, "Young man, why don't you get in the car?"

"Wait, where's the horse?"

"It's me." White Dragon Horse nodded.

Facing Xuan Kong's surprised gaze, he walked forward, took a deep breath, lifted the crossbar of the carriage, then looked at the two and said, "Let's go."

"No, wait! What does this mean? What is going on?!"

Hearing Xuan Kong's shout, Bai Longma looked at Ding Jie in confusion: "Little sister Ding, there is something wrong with your helper."

"Country people are like this, they haven't seen the world, just get used to it. Okay, Xuankong, come on up, let's go."

Xuan Kong got on the carriage in a daze, watching the white dragon horse pulling the carriage, rushing forward like a flash of lightning. When he rushed to the entrance of the town, he stretched out his hand, and Ding Jie sent out a bright lantern, which the white dragon horse hung on his head.

"That's the eternal light. Green means the route is fine, white means you've taken the wrong road, and red means you can write a suicide note." Ding Jie explained, "If you see it flashing, it means the White Dragon Horse is hungry and needs food."

"Now I really want to ask, why is the White Dragon Horse a human?"

"Oh, so you've been agonizing over this. When the True Buddha left, he not only left behind the curse of the Dharma Ending Age, but also various precepts. Do you know what the Buddhist precepts are?"

Xuankong nodded: "I know this. One, don't kill; two, don't steal; three, don't commit adultery; four, don't lie; five, don't drink alcohol. In addition, different places also have different precepts, which are the rules that Buddhist monks must abide by."

"That's good to know. In the Buddhist country, the precepts cannot be violated. Otherwise, you will suffer pain at best and death at worst. And here there is a precept that you cannot abuse animals. Therefore, not only can you not eat animal meat, you can't even enslave animals."

Xuan Kong thought for a while, nodded and said: "Indeed, after all, all living beings are equal. Treating animals well is treating ourselves well."

"But animals are still needed in some places, such as horse-drawn carriages. Later, someone suddenly thought that if we can't enslave animals, then why don't we enslave people? As soon as this idea came to mind, the world seemed so vast. As a result, human-powered mills, human-powered oxen, and human-powered carriages sprang up like mushrooms after rain, and now it has spread back to the Demon Sect."

Xuan Kong was stunned, but Ding Jie hadn't finished speaking yet.

Pulling Xuankong, she said excitedly: "And we in the Demon Sect have discovered that there are too many benefits to replacing animals with humans! For example, humans can practice cultivation, but animals rarely can. Humans can find food for themselves, but animals must be fed. And when humans are sick, it costs less to see a doctor, but animals cost more. So, not everything in Buddhism is bad, isn't this a good idea?"

Xuankong was shaken to the point of being on the verge of collapse, but he didn't know what to say.

Covering his head, he wanted to refute and maintain the image of Buddhism, but he couldn't say anything.

After all, what Ding Jie said makes sense!

Looking back, he remembered that one of his senior brothers once said that he once saw an ox working in the field, and the old farmer walked slowly beside him, and occasionally used a whip to urge the ox to work. But in fact, the ox was the reincarnation of the old farmer's father, and after the old farmer died, he would also be reincarnated as an ox and be whipped by his son.

The brother originally wanted to use this story to illustrate reincarnation and cause and effect, as well as the importance of treating animals kindly, and his words were full of compassion.

But now thinking about it, Xuankong feels that this story is too ironic.

If you don't let the old farmer use the ox to plow the field, then the old farmer will have to plow the field himself. A mortal's hard work in a day is not as good as the ox's two or three hours of plowing. If there is not enough food, he will starve. In the end, he can only sell the land to the temple, and his whole family will become tenant farmers.

Afterwards, the field was sold to someone else in exchange for three gold grains, and the old farmer's family was also sold along with the field.

This is not mercy at all; it is clearly using the cows to eat people in order to seize the land.

And the old farmer doesn’t have to worry about being whipped by his descendants in the next life, because he has no descendants.

This is really a win-win situation.

This game plot is just a joke in the eyes of others, but in Xuankong's eyes it is a sharp blade that can hurt people.

Bailong was full of stereotypes when making this game, but stereotypes are different from rumors because they really did similar things.

He didn't feel anything before, but when he saw this experience through the cultivators from Jiuzhou, Xuankong felt that it was full of sarcasm, and every word was tinged with blood.

And this is just the beginning.

Master, what on earth did you see that made you vomit blood?
