If you don't hate you, you won't become a Buddha

Xiao Wuyan didn't seem to see Cheng Siqi, and went straight into the woods.

Cheng Siqi hurriedly followed.

Not long after running out in the dense forest, that dusty figure reappeared in the field of vision.

Xiao Wuyan has a short stature, a round head and a round head, big eyes and spirit, and he is very well-born. If you ignore the white-eyed crane in his hand at this time, it can really be called Yuxue cute.

He picked up the crane's long neck and shook it, then patted the crane's head with a slap in the face, and said in a vicious voice, "Every day I know how to steal my jerky to eat, and when it's time to use it, you pretend to be dead! Get up and fly!" , or come back and stew you!"

Threatened by the bully, the crane immediately straightened its slack neck, fluttered its wings and lowered its body, barking at Xiao Wuyan in an extremely doggy manner.

Xiao Wuyan smiled in satisfaction, turned over and sat on the crane's back, and took another pat.

The crane spread its wings aggrievedly, and rushed straight into the sky like a white sharp arrow, breaking through the layered and lingering clouds.

Cheng Siqi was about to follow up, but found that his body floated up involuntarily, maintaining a distance of about three feet, following behind Xiao Wuyan, piercing the clouds and fog.

At the foot of the fairy mountain, the Buddhist temple is looming, and at a glance, it is boundless, ethereal and illusory, with a magnificent momentum.

Flying forward and backward like this, they passed through the mountain guard formation without encountering any obstacles along the way.

But after a while, it seemed that they had reached the place, and the crane uttered a soft cry, swooped down, circled and landed at the entrance of a village.

Among the rolling mountains, the setting sun spreads a bright golden glow.

It was dinner time, but there were only a few places in the village where cooking smoke rose.Looking from the entrance of the village, the whole village, whether it is houses or trees, is covered with a layer of mottled gray traces, as if it has been burned by something.

Cheng Siqi was full of surprise and doubt, completely unaware of Wu Yan's intention to come here.Didn't he say he was going to drink?Why did you come to such a dilapidated village?

While thinking about it, Xiao Wuyan jumped off the crane, straightened his clothes in a decent manner, and walked slowly into the village.

As soon as he stepped in, a window of the crumbling house at the entrance of the village suddenly opened, and an old woman with a withered complexion poked her head out, showing a kind smile to Xiao Wuyan, and jokingly said: "The little bald donkey is here again!" , the last time you stood up smelling like alcohol, didn't you get beaten by Master?"

Xiao Wu's tile: "Master in the temple hurts me tightly, wherever he wants to beat me."

The old woman laughed.

Xiao Wuyan approached the window, and the old woman stretched out her arm, and brought out a small basket covered with a cloth, and handed it to Wuyan, "Come on, the new celery at home is tender, take it home and taste it. "

"Thank you, ma'am!" Xiao Wuyan took the basket on his arm and continued walking forward with a smile.

The road in the village runs from north to south, and along the way, the villagers you meet along the way will give you baskets, big and small, with great enthusiasm.He is insatiable and never rejects those who come, his small body is full of baskets, and he can say a few words to anyone with a smile.

It turned out that he came down the mountain to alms alms.

Cheng Siqi followed Xiao Wuyan, thinking, could it be that Tianyin Temple can't even provide food for a disciple, and has to go down the mountain for alms?But Xiao Wuyan's popularity looks really good, and his heart melts when he smiles.

He stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Wuyan's face, but naturally it was empty.

However, as if he really pinched it, he bent his eyebrows and smiled.

Having harvested more than a dozen baskets, Xiao Wuyan also waved goodbye to the villagers and left the village.

Leaving the village, Xiao Wuyan didn't leave here immediately, but called the crane, flew low, and got into the deep mountain nearby.

At this time, night fell, a ray of sad red glow was suppressed on the horizon, retreated dying, the stars and the moon moved up, and the hazy brilliance fell.

There are strange shadows in the mountains and forests, and there are beast roars coming from afar.

I don't know how far into this mountain range, Xiao Wuyan finally stopped.He turned over and landed on the ground, peeled away a piece of vines familiarly, and got into a cave.

Makeshift fire troughs lit in the cavern's rock walls, illuminating the darkened area.

"What is he doing here?"

Cheng Siqi was very curious, and walked around behind Xiao Wuyan, and found that Xiao Wuyan took out something from a hidden compartment on the rock wall, "Could it be the hidden wine..."

Cheng Siqi's eyes froze even before he finished talking to himself.

Xiao Wuyan took out a knife.

This knife is thin and sharp, and it looks like it has been used frequently, and it also has a very faint smell of blood.

The crane next to him saw Xiao Wuyan take out the knife, pricked his feathers all over his body, and tried to block it with his neck, but Xiao Wuyan slapped him beside him.

"Don't make trouble."

Xiao Wuyan frowned, suppressed the crane, and reached for a basket that had just been unloaded.

Cheng Siqi remembered that this basket should be the celery given by the kind old woman who just entered the village.Don't get tired of wanting to start a fire and cook here?

He watched Xiao Wuyan's movements, and saw him pull casually, and the cover that had been motionless no matter how the wind blew before was immediately torn away, revealing what was inside—it turned out to be a few dry weeds, not at all. Not some tender celery.

"This……"

Cheng Siqi was startled, a little confused.If you don't want to give alms, you don't give it. How can you only be deceived by weeds?

But without him needing to think about it, Xiao Wuyan gave him the answer.

Sitting cross-legged in the firelight, the little monk lowered his head slightly, his brows were half hidden in the shadow that the light could not reach, he picked up the weeds in the basket and glanced at them, then slammed to the side, gritted his teeth and said, "It's really deceiving!" Too much! A month ago, there was a real celery, but now I don’t even give half a leaf!"

His face turned red with anger, and the crane next to him came over and rubbed against the back of his hand.

Xiao Wuyan closed his eyes, calmed down slowly, and recited a sutra in a low voice.

After his expression returned to normal, he opened his eyes, looked at the small basket in front of him again, picked up the knife with one hand, and rolled up his trouser legs with the other.

Layers of cloth were removed, and a few bloody cotton quilts were put aside, revealing two bare leg bones that had almost been cut off.

Cheng Siqi's face changed drastically, and he instantly understood what he had to do, and he rushed out to stop him.

But he couldn't touch Wuyan at all, he could only watch helplessly as Xiao Wuyan swung his knife through his phantom, and cut off two pieces of flesh without changing his expression.

This knife also seemed to cut Cheng Siqi's heart and lungs apart.

His face suddenly turned blank, and his deep black eyes quietly watched Xiao Wuyan's movements.

Blood splattered everywhere, Xiao Wuyan frowned, flipped his hands and put the flesh and blood into the small basket in front of him, covered the cover with his blood-stained hand, and went to take down another small basket.

Basket by basket passed by, and soon there was not much flesh left on Xiao Wuyan's two legs.

With sweat on his face, he cleaned up the wound, tied the cotton bags back to his legs one by one, and put on his pants so that his legs looked normal.Then he rolled up his sleeves again and stabbed at the intact arm.

In the middle of the journey, the pain was unbearable, or the bleeding was too much, so he took out a bottle of elixir and took one or two pills.

I don't know how long it has passed, the night is already deep.

One hand pushed aside the densely hanging vines, letting the wind from the outside flow into the cave, blowing away the disgusting strong smell of blood.

Xiao Wuyan's face was pale and bloodless, he looked out, slowly got up, and cleaned up the cave.

The crane stood where it was, stepping on the blood-stained knife with one paw, preventing Xiao Wuyan from taking it.Xiao Wuyan glanced at the crane, then slapped it, "Still making trouble..."

The crane gave a low cry twice, but didn't move.

Xiao Wuyan supported the rock wall to stand upright, stared at the crane, shook his head and said, "Old Bai, since this village was allocated to me, I have to be responsible for the people in this village. This is a meat-eating village, and I will not eat meat for a long time." Meat, they can't survive."

"In ancient times, the Buddha cut meat to feed the eagles. Today I feed a few people, isn't it the same?"

As if comforting himself, he said in a low voice: "Besides, it won't be long. After I pass this mission, I will be able to choose a path and practice real practice. I will also be able to solve the problem of this village. In fact, these villagers I have no choice but to grow nothing in the village, so I did my best to give me some wild vegetables..."

As he was talking, Xiao Wuyan couldn't bear to listen to the nonsense, so he twitched the corners of his mouth and scolded with a smile: "I really know how to fart too!"

After resting for a while, Xiao Wuyan took back the knife forcefully, stuffed it back into the dark compartment, and then rode the crane back to the village without disturbing anyone, and put the small baskets one by one on the windowsills of different houses.

Cheng Siqi was a step behind Xiao Wuyan, and saw that the basket was behind the window sill, and not long after, the window opened a crack.

He quickly took the basket in with one hand, and at the same time, a hoarse and dissatisfied voice sounded in the room: "There are only two pieces of meat! I returned three pieces last time, and one piece is missing! I think this little bastard is just fooling us. I should have known better." Don't even give him a piece of rotten vegetable leaf!"

Cheng Siqi wanted to rush in and tear the people inside, but he couldn't do anything.

After delivering the baskets, Xiao Wuyan flew back to Tianyin Temple on a crane, seemed to be in a good mood again, happily picked up the broom that was thrown away before, continued to sweep the floor, and hummed a little song.

He didn't know it at all, just a few steps behind him, a pair of dark eyes were fixed on his legs, and there was no concealment for the pain and killing intent.

After sweeping the floor, Xiao Wuyan went back to the yard, lay down on the bed heartlessly, and fell asleep until dawn.

Events in the village did not seem to have caused any change.

In the following days, Xiao Wuyan repeated the boring process of chanting sutras, sweeping the floor, and practicing.In the middle, he went to the main peak to get the elixir needed for cultivation, and attended two morning classes. Other than that, he never left his small courtyard.

Cheng Siqi also stayed by Xiao Wuyan's side all the time, watching him neither far nor near.

After Xiao Wuyan went to the mission hall once, Cheng Siqi finally understood what happened to the meat-eating village.

It turns out that the young monks below the foundation of Tianyin Temple have to receive a special task every year.Some are to save innocent souls, and some are to save evil people from the cultivation world, each is different.

Last year, Xiao Wuyan received a mission to save innocent souls.It was a land guarded by a low-level monk family, and a plague broke out.

The world of comprehension is not all monks.

When monks reproduce, it is inevitable that there will be mortal bodies, and they cannot be driven out, so they all stay and leave the sect to establish a family.

The monks were not affected by the plague, but the mortals within a hundred miles died of the disease.

Wronged souls gather hundreds of miles away, full of resentment.

After Tianyin Temple got the news, it took the task of saving the dead here as a task, and posted it in the task hall.

After Xiao Wuyan accepted the task, he went there immediately, and began to save the souls of the dead day and night.

As a young genius who has developed a sense of qi not long after he started, and is about to succeed in introducing qi into his body, it is naturally nothing to save the souls of some mortals.It didn't take long for most of the Baili innocent soul to be saved.

However, just when Wu Yan thought the task was simple and was about to be completed, he found a surviving village in the mountains hundreds of miles away.

This village is called the Carnivorous Village, and they are all mortals.

During the plague, many people died in the carnivorous village, but even more people were infected with the plague, but they did not die.

Insatiably curious, after some investigation, he discovered that the reason why the surviving mortals did not die was because they ate the corpses of the dead.

Xiao Wuyan was so disgusted that he wanted to burn down the village completely.

But the people in the meat-eating village, regardless of age, women and children, all knelt down and begged him.

They looked miserable and in great pain, and they could see that they were unwilling to do such inhumane things.They looked at the insatiable eyes as if they were looking at the real Buddha, weeping bitterly, begging for forgiveness.

"The practice of Buddhism is not to kill."

Thinking of the introduction admonition, Xiao Wuyan decided to give the villagers of this village a chance to help them get out of the sea of ​​suffering.

He kept coming to this village, reciting scriptures to save people, and gradually got to know the villagers very well, like friends and relatives.

But the good times didn't last long. One day, an old man who treated him very well suddenly fell to the ground, weakened rapidly, and was about to die.

Xiao Wuyan was at a loss, but a villager next to him told him that in the meat-eating village, it is impossible to survive without eating meat for a long time.

But this village has been ravaged by the plague, and nothing can grow or support anything.And because this group of people is carrying the plague, they cannot move.So I had no choice but to wait here to die.

Xiao Wuyan didn't say anything, just went door-to-door for alms, carrying many baskets out, and sending many baskets back.

This take and give away lasted for a whole year.

"They've changed."

The pagoda tree in the courtyard is full of pale white pagoda flowers, with a light and distant fragrance.Sitting under the tree, Xiao Wuyan looked at the task token in his hand, and said to himself, "They are getting more and more greedy... Did I do something wrong? Degreeization... What is degree, what is transformation?"

While he was in a daze, a figure suddenly fell from the sky, "Junior Brother Wuyan, your mission has been completed and your cultivation level has reached, the abbot announces you to enter the Cangjing Pavilion to speak."

"It's finally here."

There was a gleam in Xiao Wuyan's eyes, and he got up and walked towards the scripture storage pavilion.He did not enslave the crane, but walked through the two fairy mountains step by step.

The Sutra Pavilion is different from those magnificent Buddhist halls.

The two-storey Buddhist hall is very simple, with ancient books and jade slips piled up messily on the two walls.

The candles in the Buddhist hall were dimly lit, and there were two futons in the center, and an old monk sat on one of them. He was the abbot of Tianyin Temple, Master Xuyan, and also the master of Wuyan.

Xiao Wuyan walked in and greeted Xu Yan.

Standing behind, Cheng Siqi looked carefully at the head of Tianyin Temple, but found that Master Xuyan didn't have any aura fluctuations on his body, just like an ordinary old monk, sitting on the futon, looking at Xiao Wuyan with a smile, Then with a wave of his sleeves, he sealed the doors and windows.

This move made Cheng Siqi smell something unusual.

"You are about to succeed in entraining Qi, and it is time to choose the path of foundation building. Foundation building is the first step for us monks to build a foundation and choose a path."

Xu Yan said kindly, "Here are a few paths selected by the teacher for you, which are most suitable for you. Take a look. These Buddhist paths are all the strongest in the world. They have been cultivated to the peak, and they can save everyone in the world with one word. It is not a joke. you can……"

"The disciple chooses this one."

He was interrupted before he finished speaking.

But Xu Yan didn't have any displeasure, he just looked at the jade slip that he was staring at endlessly and his expression slowly sank.After a while, he closed his eyes and sighed, "You really want to choose this path?"

Wuyan's eyes were firm: "I hope Master will help you."

Xu Yan put the jade slips in front of him, and described the seven realms of the practice world word by word, emphasizing the two heart demon catastrophes of Jindan ascending to Yuanying and ascending from the body to transforming gods.

Inner demons are an existence that almost all monks cannot get rid of on their way of practice.

But only almost.

In addition to using various methods to overcome these two calamities of the demons, there is another way, and that is to slay the demons.

Slaying demons is also a path.

This road is extremely dangerous. It is necessary to plant the demon seeds from the foundation establishment, condense the demons, and then trap the demons and kill them at the first demon catastrophe when Jin Dan ascends to Yuanying.If you succeed, you will never have a mind and demons on the road of practice. If you fail, your body and soul will perish, and you will be scattered in the world forever.

Throughout the ages, countless talented and talented arrogances in the cultivation world have all died on this road and never reincarnated.

Gradually, this path of slaying demons was listed as a taboo, no matter how potential a genius was, he would not choose it when building a foundation.Some sects even directly threw this road out of the selection ranks, calling it a dead end.

But now, Wuyan wants to take this dead end.

Xu Yan didn't seem to know what to say, but finally got up helplessly, and handed the jade slip to Wuyan: "... If you really want to leave, then don't retreat."

The old figure faded away.

Xiao Wuyan sat on the futon, slowly stretched out his hand, picked up the jade slip, and stuck it between his eyebrows.

Sitting next to him, Cheng Siqi didn't try to stop him, but watched the jade slip dissipate in front of Wuyan, turning into a wisp of ashes.

"Devil Slaying Road..."

Cheng Siqi lowered his head and repeated.

With a wry smile, he was about to stand up, but when he raised his head, he met Wuyan's eyes.

"Who's talking?" Xiao Wuyan looked at Cheng Siqi and asked suddenly.

Cheng Siqi's eyes widened suddenly, his lips trembled slightly, and he was about to speak again when his body was suddenly violently pushed several times.

Numerous and complicated scenes flashed before his eyes, and then his vision went dark, and he opened his eyes suddenly, looking at the two-headed tiger stretching out its claws and pushing him.

The two-headed tiger keenly sensed a trace of murderous intent, carefully retracted its paws, and said aggrievedly: "Boss, boss, I didn't wake you up on purpose, but... this lotus, it seems to be blooming... And, look Heaven."

Cheng Siqi glanced at Wuyan first, and found that he was still in that frozen state.The tightly closed flower buds of the golden lotus beside him opened a little, and the broken appearance also repaired a lot, and it didn't look so weak anymore.

Cheng Siqi followed the two-headed tiger's gaze and raised his head after confirming that he was all right.

When he raised his head, Cheng Siqi was taken aback.

In the sky above the endless ice field, nine phantoms like floating islands slowly descended, and they were indeed the mysterious realm of the demon saint outside.

But this phantom of the Monster Saint's secret realm is not the same as the real secret realm outside.It was as if there was a mirror, reflecting the nine suspended islands into it, upside down, left, right, upside down.

With the fall of this phantom, the entire endless ice field, which never had day and night, suddenly became dark.

"Where is the Monster Race Secret Realm, it's clearly the Demon Seed Secret Realm!"

Someone outside the formation was terrified.
