Chapter 129: Forcing Out the Inner Demon
At this time, Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen, their bridesmaids and groomsmen, as well as many common people and monsters, all bowed and saluted the one stepping on the clouds in the sky.
"Dean!"
"Mr. Dean!"
"Dean?" Fahai murmured. Could it be the legendary dean of West Lake College?
Fahai looked at the golden light of merit flashing behind Long Pinxuan's head, his eyes were dazed for a moment, he shook his eyes, and after confirming that he was not mistaken, his expression became a little complicated.
Generally speaking, people or monsters with merits will have certain characteristics and some golden light behind their heads.
But this requires great merit, and the amount of golden light that appears will not be too much.
Like Long Pinxuan, Fahai was able to clearly see the dazzling golden light of merit with his wisdom eye. How much merit must he have done!
Fahai shook his head, closed his eyes, calmed down, stood up straight, saluted towards Long Pinxuan and said, "Oh Amitabha, I am Fahai, and I have met the dean! The dean has great merits!"
Seeing Fahai like this, Long Pinxuan just smiled and said, "Are you wondering why the people around you all know you?"
Fahai was stunned and looked around.
Indeed, it was fine at the beginning. This situation only occurred after Bai Suzhen asked him if his name was Fahai and he answered affirmatively.
That is to say, as the dean said, these people all know him.
"Are you still wondering why these people treat you like this?"
Long Pinxuan's next words made Fahai bow to him again, "Please give me some advice, Dean!"
The people and monsters around were silent and just listened to Long Pinxuan continue to speak. They fully believed that Long Pinxuan would definitely seek justice for Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.
However, Long Pinxuan did not give a clear answer.
"Fahai, let me ask you a question. If you were not in Hangzhou, not here, and you came across a family with a couple who had been married for a hundred years and lived happily together, but the woman was a monster, what would you do?"
The people's faces showed realization and they all looked at Fahai. What should he do?
Isn't this the story between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen? It's just that Long Pinxuan brought it up and asked directly about it.
Fahai was slightly stunned, but then he spoke, "Humans and monsters cannot be together. The evil spirit of monsters will corrode the human body, and the essence of humans will be inadvertently absorbed by monsters. So there is a difference between humans and monsters..."
Before Fahai finished speaking, Long Pinxuan continued to ask, "How long do you think it will take for people to be eroded if they live with monsters?"
Fahai saw that Long Pinxuan was asking such a question, so he answered quickly, "At most half a year, at least more than a month, there will be an impact."
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of boos from all around.
"Master, your cultivation is not enough!"
“I still need to study hard!”
"My little rabbit and I have been together for almost a year, and I am now free of all my minor ailments!"
"What do you mean by erosion? Don't talk nonsense!"
"That's right, my monster has been here for over a year now!"
"It has been more than a year and a half since West Lake College was established, and I haven't seen any problems with any of the villagers!"
"Who taught you, Master? You are misleading us!"
Fahai listened in shock to what the people around him said, with astonishment clearly visible in his eyes.
"That's impossible. You really spent so much time living with monsters?"
Fahai took two quick steps forward and came in front of the young man.
This young man is naturally the one who just said that he has been with his little rabbit for almost a year.
Fahai suddenly grabbed his arm and used Buddhist techniques to examine his body for a long time. "There is an evil spirit on his body, but it is so authentic, not even a bit damaged. Why? Why is this?"
Many monsters in the back also began to ponder.
They actually know that some monsters will indeed erode humans. Some monsters have stayed with humans for a long time, and those humans will become weak and sick. Is this erosion?
But why don’t the people in Hangzhou have it?
Fahai turned his head and looked at Long Pinxuan, "Dean, what is going on?"
Long Pinxuan smiled and continued to ask, "Do you think dragons and phoenixes are monsters?"
Fahai shook his head. "Dragons and phoenixes have always been known to bring good luck, so they are certainly not monsters."
Long Pinxuan continued to ask, "But dragons and phoenixes are not humans either. Then why is it that when a rabbit transforms into a human, it is a rabbit demon, but when a dragon and phoenix transform into a human, it is a good omen?"
Fahai was stunned. Yes, why? But hasn't it always been like this?
Long Pinxuan had already started the guidance technique, and he was guiding Fahai with words one after another.
"Since you are a Buddhist practitioner, you are naturally the Buddha's spokesperson in the world. When practicing Buddhism, you cannot just practice on the surface, but you must see the essence through the phenomenon."
Fahai's mind was struck by a bell. Was his previous thought wrong? If it was right, why? Why was the fact different?
Long Pinxuan continued, "Because of merit, because of kindness, and because of orthodoxy!"
"Although they are monsters, they are also spirits. Humans are spirits in the world, and animals and plants are also spirits in the world. Since humans can speak and think, why can't animals and plants? Just because they can think and speak, does that mean they are monsters and bad? Then why is it that Nuwa mended the sky, but she was still half snake? "
"Buddha said: All beings are equal! In your eyes, are they really equal?"
Fahai suddenly took several steps back. In his heart, were they really equal?
"Monsters don't do evil. They practice orthodox cultivation. The energy of cultivation will naturally be in harmony with heaven and earth. Do you understand?"
Long Pinxuan spoke the last few words very slowly, one by one. Beads of sweat began to appear on Fahai's forehead. His hands trembled a little. One foot involuntarily fell to one knee on the ground, and a gleam of light suddenly exploded in his eyes.
A light black shadow shot out from his chest, and a shadow monk wearing a black cassock who looked exactly like Fahai appeared in front of everyone.
Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun stood nearby and watched closely.
Erlang Shen said calmly, "It turned out to be a demon in the heart. It seems that the previous story was forced to such a result, and it was also Fahai's demon in the heart that was at work."
Taishang Laojun is also very knowledgeable. "This inner demon carries a trace of evil and blood. It seems that it is caused by killing too many monsters."
Erlang Shen nodded, "This guy's inner demon has been forced out, which is actually a good thing. It depends on whether he can get through this."
Long Pinxuan looked at the shadow monk in a black cassock that appeared in front of Fahai and was shocked. Damn, it actually forced out his inner demons. Wasn’t what he said a bit too much?
