Chapter 234 233. Demonic Monk (Please subscribe!)
Moon lamp?

Xu Qing chewed on the Buddhist name, and a series of lists flashed through his mind.

When he was going down the mountain, Uncle Qingzheng gave him a list of sects and famous practitioners from all over Dasheng.

Such as Taoism’s Tianshi Mansion, Zhenwu Gate, Chunyang Palace, Shenxiao Temple and so on.

For Buddhism, there are Wuliang Temple, Tianlong Temple, Bodhi Temple and so on.

The Dharma name "Yuedeng" is recorded on the list. His master is a great monk from Yueguang Temple.

After he traveled down the mountain, he has not appeared in the eyes of cultivators in the world for nearly a hundred years.

I didn't expect to meet you here today.

Xu Qing rarely interacted with disciples from other sects.

There was no other way. First, the area under the jurisdiction of Nandu was the birthplace of the Great Sheng Emperor, and the dragon energy naturally prevailed. Ordinary sects were unwilling to move their ancestral foundations there.

The second reason is that Taizu of Da Sheng once intimidated all the sects in the world, forcing them to come out and take on the responsibility of defending their territory.

Having succumbed to the pressure, he naturally felt dissatisfied and of course did not want to go to Nandu again.

"I am Jingdu, a disciple of Yuanfu Temple, and I am honored to meet Master Yuedeng!" Xu Qing bowed to Master Yuedeng respectfully.

"So you are a disciple of Yuanfu Temple." Yue Deng nodded slightly, "But you are from the 'Jing' generation. Whose disciple are you?"

"I am the master's subordinate." Xu Qing said.

"Master of Yuanfu Temple?" Yue Deng's face flashed with surprise, "I didn't expect that the Great Master would accept another disciple?!"

"But it's no wonder. Your aptitude is truly amazing. It's understandable that the Great Immortal wants to take you as his disciple."

"I have established this Xiaoyaofang and waited for such a long time. This is the first time I have seen someone like you who has risen to the top relying on talent."

Xu Qing's eyes moved when he heard this: "I wonder why Master Yuedeng established this Xiaoyaofang?"

"And I clearly heard from the county magistrate here that it was a passing demon who established Xiaoyaofang."

"A demon?" Yue Deng smiled slightly, "Because I am a demon."

The words fell.

The demonic energy emanated from Yue Deng, causing the air around him to roar continuously.

Xu Qing's expression changed slightly, but he was not panicked.

Because he could feel that Master Yuedeng had no ill intentions, and the evil aura emitted by Master Yuedeng was not as smelly as that of other monsters.

Instead, it carries a hint of the great brightness of Buddhism.

Master Yuedeng clasped his hands together and said slowly:

"I was originally a little demon under the tutelage of Grandma Denghuo. Later, Grandma Denghua did evil and was subdued by the abbot of Moonlight Temple. Since I had never harmed anyone, the abbot let me go."

"But a little demon like me can't survive long in the world without protection, so I just joined the Buddhist sect and practiced Buddhism."

Grandma Lantern?

Xu Qing knew that this was a ghost similar to the "candle-cutting ghost".

The Light Fairy can travel through the light of candles and has the ability to make people sick.

There were many such ghosts before the Great Prosperity, but the Great Prosperity used the national destiny to integrate the Yang energy of living people to form the Yang Fire of the country.

It is the most powerful against this kind of ghosts, so when it flourished, it was almost unheard of to see the Lantern Fairy harming people.

So, Master Yuedeng, maybe you are not from Dasheng?
"As for why I want to build this Xiaoyaofang?" Master Yuedeng restrained his evil spirit, "It is for cultivation and also for saving people."

"Donor, you should have realized that this Xiaoyaofang is actually a test. If you can resist the temptations of the six desires and come here, you will be able to gain great freedom and peace."

Because Xu Qing relied on the Six Dings and Six Jias in his body, those temptations could not be considered as hardships, so he could not obtain the great freedom that Master Yuedeng talked about.

But after going through it, he deeply understood:

If there is really someone who can walk all the way to the end of Xiaoyaofang without being tempted by beauties, delicacies, wealth, or sleep, then there will definitely be no more desires in his heart. The Dharma is like a diamond, and without desire, it is strong.

It is too exaggerated for a person who has no desires in his heart to claim that he can become a Buddha instantly, but once he starts practicing Buddhism, he will surely make rapid progress.

Master Yuedeng said slowly: "In addition, the establishment of Xiaoyaofang is also related to a discussion on Taoism."

"On the Road?"

"Yes." Master Yuedeng nodded, "In the past, I preached a method here, called the method of controlling desire with desire."

"The reason why people have desires is because they can't get what they want. If everyone can get what they want, will desires not arise?"

"At that time, a Confucian scholar passed by and heard what I said. He rebuked me for saying that it was harmful to people, violated social norms, and corrupted people's hearts!"

and many more!

When Xu Qing heard this, he felt a little strange.

Moral principles?

Could it be related to Lujin Temple?
Xu Qing expressed his doubts.

"That's right. The Lujin Temple was built by that Confucian scholar. I built Xiaoyaofang and he built the Lujin Temple. Let's see who can achieve enlightenment in the end."

Xu Qing frowned deeply when he heard this.

It turns out that Xiaoyaofang and Lujin Temple are the product of a discussion between two cultivators? !
No wonder the two places are within the same city!
Xu Qing took a deep breath and asked, "Since the master said that everyone can get what they want, then why do people in Xiaoyaofang have to pay a price to fulfill their wishes?"

"Because people won't cherish something unless they pay a certain price." Master Yuedeng sighed.

"When I first established Xiaoyaofang, it was to satisfy everyone's wishes without any cost."

"As a result, these people's wishes became bigger and bigger, and they became more and more numerous. In the end, they were devoured by their desires and became puppets controlled by their desires."

“This is not what I thought, so after careful consideration, I decided to try a different approach.”

"It is what you see now."

"Xiaoyaofang has things that people all over the world want. You just need to pay a certain price to get them."

"At the same time, as you can see, the things in Xiaoyaofang are all fake and can only last for a period of time."

“When the time comes, everything is gone.

"After all, what is false can never become true."

"In the midst of great ups and downs, great joys and great sorrows, there will definitely be some realizations and gains."

At this moment, Xu Qing's brows were no longer just frowned.

Isn’t this method too extreme?

"Master, do you know that your Xiaoyaofang indirectly killed more than a dozen people?"

Master Yuedeng nodded: "I know."

"I also know what the donor wants to say. But even if there is no Xiaoyaofang, they will still die because of greed."

"Master, your theory is correct, but you shouldn't experiment on mortals at will!" Xu Qing's voice gradually turned cold.

"Experiment?" Master Yue Deng asked doubtfully, "I don't have the idea of ​​using mortals for experimentation. I just want to enlighten the world and help them escape from the sea of ​​suffering!"

Xu Qing looked at Master Yue Deng, who looked calm and composed, and a thought flashed through his mind:
Evil monk!

This guy is an evil monk!

This monk, like the Confucian scholar who built the Lujin Temple, was too extreme and regarded his own knowledge as the absolute truth.

And try to convert the people of the world through this truth!

This Yue Deng will either become a Buddha or a great demon in the end!
