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

At the grilled fish stall, Jiang Ligui is processing the fish that was just caught today.

Master Zhengguang stood by, watching the seafood that were about to be gutted, skinned and ripped open by Jiang Ligui, and silently chanted the mantra for rebirth.

Ever since most of the immortals resolved their doubts and began to practice seriously, fewer people have come to Master Zhengguang for consultation on their inner demons. Master Zhengguang has also developed the habit of praying for the souls of the dying seafood every morning.

"Master, are these really living things?"

Jiang Ligui suddenly asked.

"Amitabha, do you think they are not living things?"

Master Zhengguang asked back.

"Because they are not formed by normal reproduction. They are all thoughts created by Yigan, and they just have the image of fish and shrimp. The Heart Sea is not like the Iron-eating Beast Forest. After hundreds of years of evolution and reproduction, even a mushroom is a life. But are these fish and shrimp really considered life?"

Jiang Ligui asked.

"Amitabha, then Mr. Jiang, do you think these fish and shrimp will feel fear before they die?"

Master Zhengguang asked again.

"Of course they will. Their struggles and movements before death are exactly the same as those of fish and shrimp in the mortal world. They must be afraid."

Jiang Ligui seemed to be thinking about something.

"Then I can recite a mantra for their fear. The mantra is not for liberating the soul."

Master Zhengguang smiled, pointed at the fish and shrimp and continued:

"Buddhism believes in cause and effect, as well as reincarnation. The passing of life is just the end of a stage. They close their eyes at this moment, and will open their eyes in another form the next moment, and the cycle of life will continue. The question is, why must they end this life in great fear?"

"We just don't want to see these lives end in great fear, Amitabha."

Jiang Ligui nodded to show that he understood, and continued to ask:

"But as far as I know, in the Buddhist theory of reincarnation, these lives will forget everything about their previous lives after entering the next stage of life. This should also include this fear, right?"

"That's right. When the next stage of life begins, they will forget this fear, but the cause and effect will still exist. What kind of result will the cause brought about by a period of fear form? We don't know, but it is usually not a good thing. Even if there is no cause and effect, I still hope that they can close their eyes peacefully and enter the next stage of life peacefully."

Master Zhengguang puts his hands together.

At this moment, Jiang Ligui finally understood the meaning of "compassion" often mentioned in Buddhism. It is not a kind of condescending sympathy for the crying of life and life forms, but the sadness that comes from being unable to extricate oneself from the emotions of being immersed in depravity.

There may be no real life in the sea of ​​​​heart, but it is a microcosm of all desires and emotions. Fortunately, there is a Master Zhengguang on the edge of this sea of ​​​​heart.

Especially now that most immortals have used spirit coins to create the illusion of the inner demon, a trace of desire in the heart has entered the heart sea. Now the emotional power of the heart sea has become more and more intense. Without Master Zhengguang's help, Jiang Ligui himself can't purify all the seafood to the point where it can be eaten.

"According to the situation, Yi Gan will be out soon, right?"

Jiang Ligui thought.

"Whether Yigan has come out of seclusion, I don't know. But some people may be getting impatient."

Master Zhengguang looked at the four figures flying in the distance.

Riding a broomstick.

"Magician?"

Jiang Ligui was surprised.

Ever since the inner demons of the four magicians were imprisoned in the Heart Sea, the magicians have never been to the Heart Sea again.

Because no matter what actions they take, Yigan can directly attack the magicians' inner demons, which will not only hurt the magicians' state of mind, but also break their inner demon tribulation and lose a way to advance to the Moon Realm.

But now, the magicians have arrived.

He flew directly to the grilled fish stall and stopped in front of his inner demon.

"What do you want to do?"

Jiang Ligui looked at the four magicians warily.

He was just a chef, a cultivator who had just ascended to the immortal world a year ago, and he was no match for the four magicians.

"none of your business?"

"What are you talking to a chef about? Just calm your inner demons."

"Master Zhengguang, you won't mind if we take back our inner demons, right?"

Three of the four magicians ignored Jiang Ligui and only paid attention to Master Zhengguang. Even though the magicians suffered heavy losses over a year ago, they still did not let go of their unnecessary pride.

"You've collected your inner demon? Aren't you afraid that Yigan's inner demon will explode? And if he collects his inner demon, what will happen to my grilled fish stall?"

Jiang Ligui glared at the magicians and asked.

When the magicians heard about the grilled fish stall, they looked annoyed.

"You dare to mention a grilled fish stall? Use the magician's inner demons as waiters? Ask them to do slave work? We are very kind by not asking you for an explanation. You still have the nerve to ask us what to do?"

"Even if it is an inner demon, it is noble, because it is the inner demon of a magician."

"That's right, if you were in the mortal world, we would have captured you and made you our slave. Why don't you retreat now? Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Master Zhengguang, please say something. Do you care about this matter? We don't want to go against you, but we should inform you out of courtesy. What do you think?"

The four magicians were obviously different from what they were more than a year ago; they had a tacit understanding.

Some people scolded Jiang Ligui, while others continued to communicate with Master Zhengguang. The most important thing was their position. They surrounded Master Zhengguang in a subtle way, as if they were ready to fight if there was any disagreement. Moreover, they were confident that they could escape unscathed from Master Zhengguang.

It seems that although the magic god Los lost to Shi Ning a year ago and lost face, he did not become depressed because of it. Instead, it gave the magicians an opportunity to unite and form a small group that is not easy to mess with.

"Amitabha, fellow donors, please make yourself at your own convenience."

Master Zhengguang said with his hands folded.

"Grandmaster?"

Jiang Ligui was surprised.

"I have no intention of interfering in the disputes in the martial arts world. As long as you don't hurt Jiang Ligui, that's all."

Master Zhengguang released a beam of Buddha's light to cover Jiang Ligui, and then stopped talking.

Jiang Ligui then remembered that Master Zhengguang seemed to have always done this. He never got involved in the disputes between Yi Gan and the magicians. He just silently ensured Yi Gan's personal safety in the rear, and that was all.

"Thank you, Master."

The four magicians took action immediately and did not try to stop Jiang Ligui.

They conjured four crows out of thin air and held them high in front of them.

After a difficult spell was recited, the four inner demons turned into four streams of black smoke and entered the bodies of the four crows respectively.

The crows cried frantically, the magician turned and left, and Master Zhengguang and Jiang Ligui watched from the side and did nothing.
