Traveling through time as a goblin, just wanting to live a leisurely life

Jiang Ligui looked around and sorted out everything that happened that night.

First came Master Zhengguang, who was exhausted by his inner demons and came to the grilled fish stall.

Then came the inner demon, who wanted to continue to influence the exhausted Master Zhengguang and give him a fatal blow, and also appeared at the grilled fish stall.

The diners and Jiang Ligui helped, holding Master Zhengguang and letting him eat in peace and ignore his inner demons.

Seeing that Master Zhengguang was not influenced by him, the inner demon took the second approach.

The water of the heart fell from the sky, forming a rain of desire that could last for three days and three nights. However, the grilled fish stall, which had experienced tsunamis before, was well prepared. Jiang Ligui held up a big umbrella for each table, blocking all the rain of desire and continuing business.

Everyone at the grilled fish stall was somewhat proud because they successfully proved to Master Zhengguang that they all had the ability to resist their inner demons. Master Zhengguang could deal with the inner demons without worrying about whether other people would be drawn into his fight with the inner demons.

Seeing that Master Zhengguang was in a relaxed mood, the inner demon felt even more aggrieved. Everyone's strategy was successful. Suddenly, a big man from the Moon Realm came and directly cut off the rain of desire of the inner demon!

Master Zhengguang was silent. He had never thought that someone could give him the satisfying feeling of defeating the enemy and gaining great satisfaction with just a wave of his hand.

The diners also fell silent. They never thought that success could be even more successful, or that slapping someone in the face could be even more slapping. For a moment, they were a little overwhelmed by their emotions.

The inner demon's defenses were completely broken. It looked at Youyouzi, whose cultivation was one realm higher than its own, and immediately realized that any of its tactics could be broken by him with a wave of his hand. It deeply understood what it meant that "in the face of absolute strength, all skills are futile."

The inner demon screamed and fled in panic.

"Oh! So it was Master Zhengguang who was fighting his inner demon? Sorry! Sorry! I interrupted your battle, it won't affect your state of mind, right?"

You Youzi realized it later and only after carefully sensing the inner demon did he discover its connection with Master Zhengguang.

"Amitabha, I am too tired today and cannot fight it. Thank you, Taoist Priest, for helping me to resolve the crisis temporarily."

Master Zhengguang expressed his gratitude.

The inner demon that he was supposed to deal with was driven away by others, which definitely had an impact on his state of mind. But compared to him dragging his tired body to fight the inner demon and being fooled in the end, the impact caused by You Youzi's action was not worth mentioning at all.

"Oh my god! Master, why are you so haggard? Is your inner demon so powerful?"

You Youzi was shocked by Master Zhengguang's condition.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Taoist priest. It's all because of my unstable mind that I was made so embarrassed by my inner demons."

Master Zhengguang smiled bitterly.

"No, no, no, Taoist priest, we can't blame Master Zhengguang entirely. He is just too kind."

"Yes, yes, yes. In fact, all his cultivation these past few days has been spent on us. If he had used all his strength to deal with the inner demon, he would have defeated it long ago."

The diners around did not agree with Master Zhengguang's words. They all explained to You Youzi what had happened in the past few days.

After hearing this, You Youzi laughed.

“Hahahaha! This inner demon really knows its host best. Its every move hits Master Zhengguang’s weak spot, causing Master Zhengguang to run around for three days without even being able to touch its shadow.”

Everyone felt a little embarrassed.

A Moon Realm big shot teased Master Zhengguang. It was wrong for them to speak up for Master Zhengguang, but it was also wrong for them to tease Master Zhengguang together. They could only smile awkwardly on the side.

Master Zhengguang, who had relaxed, could now calmly accept Youyouzi's teasing.

"The Taoist priest is right. I still have worries in my heart. There are too many things I can't let go of. I can't even calm down and look for the demons in my heart. Amitabha!"

Master Zhengguang felt relieved and reflected deeply.

"But, Master, do you really know what it is that you can't let go of?"

You Youzi's question made everyone pause.

Master Zhengguang seemed to know the answer immediately, but seemed a little embarrassed to speak it out.

"Oh, isn't it obvious? Master Zhengguang cares too much about the people around him, and always thinks that he can only deal with his inner demons by himself. But in fact, everyone is an immortal who has ascended to the immortal world, and they have their own ways to fight against their inner demons. As long as Master Zhengguang concentrates on finding and solving the inner demons, the problem will be solved, and he doesn't need to worry about us."

One immortal seemed to notice that Master Zhengguang was embarrassed to praise his kindness, so he took the initiative to answer You Youzi's question on his behalf.

The other immortals around also thought so and nodded in support.

Master Zhengguang also looked at him with gratitude.

"Is it really?"

You Youzi smiled meaningfully.

"Of course it is. Master Zhengguang is a Buddhist. He is upright, kind, and self-disciplined. He is not like us, with his own little thoughts and secrets. Master Zhengguang would not have any bad intentions."

Another person also stood up to speak for Master Zhengguang, and his words were recognized by others.

"I'm not saying that Master Zhengguang has any bad intentions, but I think that what Master Zhengguang can't let go of is not this, there are deeper reasons."

You Youzi said.

Master Zhengguang also looked confused. He knew his own thoughts clearly. All he had been thinking about during this period was not to bring trouble to everyone. Even his own thoughts were like this, how could there be a deeper reason?

"Master, do you still remember how Yigan used the Heart Dust to influence you?"

These words struck Master Zhengguang's head like a bolt of lightning, and he suddenly realized something.

At that time, Master Zhengguang had his own small temple. He would take Yigan to the temple every day to recite scriptures and chant Buddhist scriptures, in an attempt to change its mind that was driven by desire.

As a result, Yi Gan sprinkled a handful of heart dust into the incense burner. Master Zhengguang just smelled the incense burned by the heart dust, and suddenly he was filled with desires. He relied on his subconscious mind to turn the small temple into a magnificent temple.

At that time, he discovered that in his subconscious mind, he still had an obsession to expand the temple, spread Buddhism, and let more people understand Buddhism.

This is not a bad thing, but it is a desire. If you are too attached to it and cannot let it go, it will become a stumbling block on the monks' path of practice.

There is a saying in Buddhism, "Buddha saves those who are predestined to be saved", which means that even if you want to spread Buddhism and save all living beings, you still need to rely on the word "predestination" and should not force it. It is meant to protect Buddhists and prevent them from being overly attached to Buddhism and forming desires.

The current Master Zhengguang is not only overly obsessed with his Buddhist teachings, but he has also suppressed this desire deep in his heart during his long period of seclusion, and it has eventually completely deteriorated and turned into an even more terrifying desire.
