Chapter 803: The wise ancestor, the monk and the lion
Above the rolling mountains and rivers, there was a large evil cloud covering the earth, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on the sky.
A terrifying aura emanated from the evil cloud, scaring many birds and beasts on the ground so that they fled in all directions.
This is a terrifying suppression derived from blood, which these beasts cannot resist.
This place is where the Yaoling Mountains border southern Xinjiang!
At this moment, above the demon cloud, a group of big demons looked unfriendly.
Just now, they flew to a city not far from southern Xinjiang and learned a lot of information from the demon king who governed the area.
The so-called Western Desert Monk never appeared!
Originally, the demon kings were somewhat confused by this. Some even wondered if it was because the monk from the Western Desert did not take this route, or that his cultivation was too high, so the local demon kings could not detect it.
But soon their Mo Dao ancestor frowned and immediately led the monsters back to Black Wind Mountain.
"Ancestor, do you think we have been deceived?" a demon king asked in confusion.
"It's possible. Didn't you notice that the big monsters coming from Juling Mountain have disappeared?"
The Black Blade Demon Ancestor with a scar on his face had a gloomy face. Seeing that the demons did not quite understand, he snorted again, "Those guys have the same goal as us. At first I thought they wanted to kill the bald donkey from the Western Desert before us, but not long ago I suddenly lost the sense of their breath. I just asked the demon king, and he also did not find any traces or breath of other big demons.
This means those guys are deliberately avoiding us!"
"They did this for only one reason, and that is to get rid of us!"
"Since the bald donkeys from the Western Desert have never appeared here, the disappearance of those guys is very interesting. It is very likely that they have returned to the monster mountain before!"
“The ancestor’s analysis makes sense, but since they are going back to the Monster Mountain, why did they come out before us?
If they haven't even entered Southern Xinjiang, how do they know that the bald donkey from the Western Desert has never entered the Demon Spirit Mountains?
This doesn’t seem to make sense!”
After Mo Dao's analysis, the demon kings became even more confused.
"I didn't understand it at first, but I should understand it now!"
The Demon Ancestor of the Ink Blade sneered, and then said in a deep voice: "This is that old black bull playing tricks on me. He may have known from the beginning that the demon king of the demon mountain was lying. The reason why he left early was to lure us away. In this way, they can return quietly and capture all the demons in the mountain in one fell swoop, so that they can keep the secret all to themselves!"
"hiss--"
When the demon kings heard this, they all gasped and felt that it made sense.
"Ancestor is wise!"
"Those bull demons tried their best to trick us away, but you saw through their tricks at a glance!"
"That's right. Maybe right now, the group of bull monsters are fighting with the big monsters in the Monster Mountain. As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the insects, unaware of the sparrows behind. If we suddenly strike back and kill them, maybe we can kill two birds with one stone!"
All the demon kings showed delight on their faces and began to flatter their ancestor.
The Ink Blade Demon Ancestor shuddered upon hearing this and cursed, "You bunch of idiots, you don't have any knowledge at all, so stop quibbling in front of me. It makes me upset!"
"What does it mean when a mantis stalks an insect, but a sparrow is behind it?"
"That's clearly the case of a sparrow catching a cicada while the mantis is behind it!"
"Ancestor is wise!!"
"The ancestors are still very cultured!"
A group of demon kings suddenly understood what this sentence meant. But can a mantis really catch a sparrow?
Although they had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to ask too much, for fear of bringing bad luck to their ancestor.
In short, whatever the ancestor said is the truth, it’s absolutely correct!
Mo Dao was flattered by the big monsters, and he couldn't help but feel pleased in his heart. Then he said earnestly: "I am also a big monster in Wangyue Valley after all. Since you are the monster kings under my command, you'd better not embarrass me!
So you bunch of idiots should capture more human teachers in the future and learn some knowledge from the human race. Don't always capture the demon concubines of the demons below and use them as piles in the caves. Too much of that stuff will harm your health!"
"Uh……"
The demon kings looked embarrassed, but soon they reacted and said in unison: "We will obey the order of our ancestor!"
"All right, everyone, cheer up. We might have to fight hard soon. That old bull is not easy to deal with!"
As the evil cloud gradually drifted into the depths of the Demon Spirit Mountains, a middle-aged monk also came to the outside of a city.
The monk was wearing a simple monk's robe and stepped barefoot on the ground, but he was not stained with a trace of dust. With every step he took, light golden ripples like water waves spread out from the ground, blowing away the insects and dust on the ground in advance.
Behind the monk, there was a skinny old lion walking along.
"Monk, how long has it been since we had any meat? Look at me now, I'm just a bag of bones. If you don't allow me to eat meat, I'll swallow you in one gulp!"
The old lion looked at the middle-aged monk standing in front of the dilapidated city gate, and suddenly spoke in human language, with a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.
As it spoke, saliva flowed from its sharp fangs, as if the monk was not a human being in its eyes, but a piece of meat that made it very greedy.
"Lion Guardian, killing is the first of the eight precepts of Buddhism and is the most unacceptable. How come you still have such a strong desire to kill?
You need to remember that as a Dharma protector of Buddhism, you must be strict with yourself!
Don't think about killing people all the time, it's not good anyway!"
The monk spoke earnestly, but did not turn around.
"I bother!"
"Hasn't the killing you've done enough as a monk been enough?
Back then, I just ate a demon king who tried to plot against me, and you came and killed all the demons in my mountain!
You also forced me to be converted by you. If it weren't for my high level of cultivation, I would have become a dog under your seat long ago!"
The Lion Guardian started to curse and it was obvious that he hated the monk.
"Lion Guardian, you are wrong. Even now, aren't you a disciple of my Buddhist sect?"
"..."
"As a Buddhist disciple, you must learn to look forward. If you don't learn to take things lightly, the cycle of cause and effect will only repeat itself. When the time comes, you will be burdened with all kinds of karmic obstacles, which will be of no benefit to your practice!
And didn’t I explain it to you a long time ago?
The monster you killed was a predestined one that I had long been eyeing. You said you killed him, so how could I not take revenge?"
The monk frowned slightly but still didn't look back.
"Is that a human? That's clearly a fucking monster!"
The Lion Guardian spoke angrily, his eyes turning red.
"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful. In my Buddha's eyes, all living beings are equal. If I say he is a human being, then he is a human being!"
The monk clasped his hands together and continued, "Besides, this place has become extremely dangerous and is surrounded by big monsters. If you are allowed to kill people, it will cause chaos sooner or later!
I thought you, the Lion Guardian, didn't want to be made into a braised lion's head, right?"
"..."
The lion guardian was speechless. He cursed in his heart and said angrily: "I don't care! I want to eat meat!"
"If you don't want me to eat meat, I'll have to eat you!"
"Well, there are many evil spirits in the city ahead. Go and save them!"
"Remember, don't let them suffer too much!"
"If one is in too much pain before death, one's obsession will deepen. Once the obsession deepens, one will easily turn into an evil ghost, and it will be difficult to save one's soul when the time comes..."
"Aiya! I haven't even finished what I'm saying yet, why are you running away!!"
