A few days later.

A group of people passed by a stream, but not far ahead, they saw a village next to the stream with flames rising into the sky and screams. The strange laughter that sounded from time to time in the village made Xuanzang's hair stand on end and his heart sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Looking at this situation, there must be big thieves committing murder and plundering the village. Wukong, Bajie, and Wujing, please go and have a look and stop the trouble."

After regaining consciousness, Xuanzang said quickly.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing both looked at Sun Wukong, and saw that his feet were rooted to the ground like old trees, unmoving, so they stopped in place and did not move.

"Didn't you hear me?" Xuanzang asked loudly.

Sun Wukong scratched his ears and asked: "Thieves are also human beings. Robbery is their job. They rely on their own work to make a living. Is there anything wrong with that? You said they kill people and more people die when the two countries fight. You

Why don’t you go to various countries to persuade peace?”

Xuanzang was so angry that he pointed at him and was speechless.

Qin Yao watched this scene quietly, thoughtfully.

The question about Xuanzang's character that he had previously wondered about seemed to have the answer at this moment.

Xuanzang in the chapter Conquering Demons has great love and is kind and compassionate; while Xuanzang in Conquering Demons is sinister and hypocritical, and he is an unscrupulous actor, so his mantra is - I'll put on my makeup first.

As it is known that the two stories are connected to the plot, the main reason for Xuanzang's dramatic change in temperament is these three disciples.

Xuanzang was just an ordinary person. He relied on Buddha's cheating to conquer Sun Wukong, not his own ability to conquer the King of Demons.

On the way westward, the only things he could rely on were the whip given by the Buddha and the Mahavairocana Sutra.

It can be seen from the current state of the three demons that they lack respect for Xuanzang, let alone obey his orders.

In this situation, in order to manage these three goblins and to confirm his authority as a leader, Xuanzang could only abandon his innocence, put on a mask called an actor, and manage by beating, scolding, humiliating, and bluffing

Team, work hard to keep the team together.

But if you use this method too much, your mind will naturally become distorted, and it is not surprising that you will become a hypocritical actor.

This actually echoes the saying: People will change, and they will eventually become something they hate...

Fortunately, Xuanzang still has a friend by his side, a friend who can really take care of things.

Therefore, he did not need to take out the whip and beat Sun Wukong to make the three demons obey. He only needed to look at the figure beside him with pleading eyes, and there would be a solution to this dilemma.

"Xiang Liu, go and have a look." Qin Yao pulled out a three-pointed, two-edged knife from his ear and threw it in the air.

The long knife kept flipping in the air, and finally turned into a monster with the body of a hydra. It quickly crawled into the screaming village, and knocked out a bandit with a sharp knife, and then fell to the ground like a dumpling.

"Monster, monster!"

Some robbers panicked and struggled to get up.

Then, Xiang Liu crawled out, and countless tiny electric currents were emitted from his eighteen eyes, causing the more than thirty bandits to go limp and collapse to the ground.

"Whoosh."

Seeing Qin Yao open his right hand, Xiang Liu suddenly turned into a black light and fell into his hand in the form of a mini knife.

"All donors, put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately." Xuanzang came to the middle of the group of thieves, clasped his hands and said sincerely.

"Ding."

A burly robber slammed the long knife in his hand to the ground, stared at the bull's eye, and said angrily: "I put down the butcher knife, please let me become a Buddha."

Xuanzang's face froze and he quickly said: "The Buddha mentioned here refers to taking refuge in Buddhism and starting on the road to becoming a Buddha by doing good deeds. It does not mean that you will immediately attain Buddhahood."

The robber sneered: "So, are you here playing word games with me? If we listen to your deceit and put down the butcher knife, then I am afraid we will become ghosts before we become Buddhas, and we will still be the most pitiful starving ghosts."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing Xuanzang being attacked, Sun Wukong burst out laughing unbridled, and this laughter pierced Xuanzang's heart like a steel needle.

Xuanzang subconsciously touched the whip at his waist, and his heart surged with anger.

"Xuan Zang, calm down." Qin Yao said in a condensed voice.

Xuanzang took a deep breath, put down his right hand, and looked at the group of thieves: "Why do you do this kind of killing? Do you have any difficulties?"

"Of course." The burly robber said loudly.

Xuanzang breathed a sigh of relief.

If he has a hard time, he has reason to let these people go.

"What are your difficulties?" Shao Yan, he asked.

The burly robber: "The money can be earned quickly by plundering, and it's not hard work. If you have the ability to make money, why bother farming with your back turned to the sky?"

Xuanzang: "..."

"Pfft." Sun Wukong couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

He naturally understood Xuanzang's intention to save these bandits, but in the end they didn't appreciate it at all.

"Is it funny?" Xuanzang twitched his cheek and asked Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong slowly suppressed his smile and said expressionlessly: "Master, giving good thoughts to good people is good. Giving good thoughts to evil people is not called good, it is called evil.

You want to save them and become Buddhas, so let me ask you, what about those people who were killed by them? Even if you can save them and die, are they willing to die?"

Xuanzang was speechless.

"Puff puff puff puff puff..." Just as he was gradually falling into a vicious circle of self-doubt, nine flying swords suddenly rose across the sky and killed all the robbers on the ground.

"Brother Kong Kong." Xuanzang raised his eyes.

Qin Yao held up the sword box, put the Nine Swords of Emptiness back into the sword box, and said calmly: "Xuan Zang, don't make things complicated. They killed people and committed karma. If they have karma, then killing is

.

Doesn’t Buddhism talk about cause and effect? ​​This cause and effect is that people who kill people will always kill them, and good and evil will eventually be repaid. It’s not that they will not be repaid because the time has not come.”

The thick fog that shrouded Xuanzang's memorial platform seemed to have been lifted away at once, making the memorial platform clear and clear, and his thoughts clear.

"Thank you, brother Kong Kong."

Qin Yao waved his hand: "You're welcome. People always find themselves in a difficult situation. Just think about it."

At the same time, the three demons looked at each other, and Sun Wukong secretly sent a message: "If you want to be free, let's break up the gang first. If you want to break up the gang, the master must die. If you want the master to die, you must first get rid of the guardian of the void. Let's discuss how to kill the void.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looked at each other and saw the heartbeat in each other's eyes almost at the same time.

Except for Xuanzang, no one in their team was willing to leave their hometown to learn Buddhist scriptures.

The next evening.

The sky is filled with red clouds.

Xuanzang was riding on a white horse, stretched out his hand to press his hungry belly, and said sideways, "Brother Kong Kong, do you still have dry food?"

On the side of the white horse, Qin Yao, who was lying flat on a flying sword, sat up, shook his head and said: "No more."

Although he could exchange food through the system, he was not Xuanzang's disciple and had no obligation to provide him with food and drink all the time.

"Wukong, go and prepare some vegetarian food." Xuanzang said.

Sun Wukong shook his head repeatedly: "Master, look at my dignity. Let alone begging for food, no, it's alms. Even if I just appear in front of an ordinary person, I can scare people."

"Then you can pick some wild fruits to satisfy your hunger, right?" Xuanzang asked again.

Sun Wukong: "I don't know which wild fruits can be eaten and which wild fruits cannot be eaten. What if I picked a few poisonous fruits and poisoned you to death? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

"Xuan Zang, whip him." Qin Yao suddenly sent a message secretly.

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, then he took out the soft whip from his waist and struck Sun Wukong hard with a snap.

"ah!"

Sun Wukong was immediately whipped away by the force of the whip and fell dozens of meters away, twitching on the ground.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing both shrank their necks and remained as silent as cicadas.

Shortly after.

Sun Wukong left on a cloud, Xuanzang asked Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing to look at the white horse, while he took Qin Yao to a hill, facing the evening breeze, and asked doubtfully: "Brother Kong Kong, why didn't you let me do it before?"

Whip Sun Wukong, but he was whipped by me just now?"

"Don't keep asking, think about the reasons yourself." Qin Yao said.

Xuanzang thought for a moment and said, "It was because he did nothing wrong before, but this time it was because he did something wrong?"

"That's not accurate." Qin Yao said, "Think again."

He knew that he would not be able to complete this journey, so he wanted to help Xuanzang train the team before he left.

In this process, the most important thing is to improve Xuanzang's personal leadership ability.

If Xuanzang's personal leadership skills still fail to improve, then he can only follow Xuanzang's old path in Conquering the Demons and manage the team through intimidation, threats, whipping, deception, and hypocrisy.

Under such circumstances, the master and the disciples in the chapter Conquering the Demon were able to work together in the end. It can only be said that the aura of Xuanzang's protagonist has been greatly expanded...

This kind of illogical thing is harmless in the story, but it is basically impossible to happen in reality.
To be continued...
