As Li Xuanzu drove, he listened to Huixin's experiences and sighed with admiration the whole way.

"Master, can evil people truly become Buddhas on the spot after laying down their butcher knives? Won't the killings they commit after becoming Buddhas become their karmic obstacles?" Li Xuanzu didn't like to judge others; saving evil people was Huixin's freedom.

“Benefactor Li, you have misunderstood. Putting down the butcher’s knife does not mean that you have become a Buddha just by putting down the knife that was used to kill. It means that a person can let go of all past grievances, abandon selfishness, greed, and all evil deeds, so that he can focus more on cultivation. That is one point.”

"The Buddha believes that everyone has Buddha-nature, and Buddha resides in the heart. Those who do evil can become Buddhas by abandoning evil and doing good. This is the second point."

"When an evil person lays down his butcher's knife, it means that he has denied his past, forgotten all the evil deeds, stopped being obsessed with the past, and has found a new path."

"Actually, becoming a Buddha has little to do with good or bad, because good and bad are just differences formed in people's minds. It is precisely because of this difference that people are different from each other. In the end, only a few people become Buddhas."

Huixin showed no impatience and explained in great detail.

“I think that trying to influence people with your heart is too slow. I’m more inclined to use violence to stop violence, to use stronger violence to suppress violence, because people definitely have desires in their hearts. As long as they have desires, they are not absolutely good people.” Li Xuanzu did not quite agree with Huixin’s statement, but he did not deny her, but only put forward what he thought was a better method.

“Have you considered that violence only breeds resentment? If there are no more powerful means of violence, the consequences will be very serious. Moreover, using violence to stop violence will only breed new evils. Only when people are free from desires can they become Buddhas. Please don’t have such thoughts.” Huixin spoke faster, somewhat afraid that Li Xuanzu would go astray.

“Master, the essence is the same. You only lulled the other party’s evil deeds to sleep with good deeds, not eliminated them. I also used evil deeds to stop evil deeds, which also did not eliminate them. How long does it take you to influence evil people with your kindness? Ten years? Twenty years? As for me, I can do it in less than a minute with one slap, and if you are not satisfied, I can slap you again.” Li Xuanzu still insisted on his idea.

"Moreover, even a Buddha has desires. Master, do you wish to become a Buddha?" Li Xuanzu suddenly asked Huixin beside him.

"This old monk does not know, but I only know that saving all living beings in the world is the key to becoming a Buddha, so I will do it." Huixin was somewhat at a loss for words at this sudden question, but after thinking for a while, she spoke her true thoughts.

"Isn't becoming a Buddha the greatest desire? If it were about destroying all living beings, you wouldn't do it, Master. But this is just because you've been subtly influenced by Buddhist thought while you're in the temple. Becoming a Buddha is just the ultimate goal of all Buddhists, not yours. Am I right?"

Huixin wanted to refute, but didn't know how to start, because he thought Li Xuanzu was right.

He reflected on his life. His master, fellow disciples, and even all living beings believed that he should become a Buddha. But upon closer examination, did he really think that way?

This dialogue can be considered a discussion of principles, but there was no winner or loser. Li Xuanzu's theory was sound, and Huixin's actions were impeccable. The right or wrong of an event is only determined by people's perceptions; the things themselves are neither right nor wrong.

As Huixin twirled the prayer beads faster and faster, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the bald head. He closed his eyes tightly, and the fat on his face bulged together.

Huixin never imagined that after living most of her life, she would be less reasonable than a young man old enough to be her great-grandson.

However, he could never have imagined that the other party was actually an ancient monster who had lived for thousands of years.

There was no time for Huixin to comprehend the Dao, so Li Xuanzu drove to a new area to prepare to clear out the zombies.
