"Do you want to take action?" Nezha asked in a low voice.

"Can you stay?" Zhou Zheng asked back.

Nezha shook his head gently, Zhou Zheng groaned a few times, and led Nezha to approach the tall building secretly, keeping a close eye on Maitreya's figure.

What a great Maitreya Buddha.

At this moment, he was like a fat old man taking a walk after dinner, wearing a somewhat baggy monk's robe, completely ignoring the countless pairs of demonic eyes in the world, and drifting straight towards the roc.

Dapeng frowned slightly, his mentality obviously changing slightly.

Maitreya smiled brightly, floated up to the big roc bird, and said leisurely: "Hey, where are you meditating?"

The roc bird slowly opened its eyes, showing neither sadness nor joy, and gently nodded to Maitreya.

Maitreya smiled and said: "You actually want to enter my Buddhist door. Then why don't you worship me when you see me?"

Dapeng Bird said calmly: "The Buddhism I want to enter is a Buddhism that saves living beings, a Buddhism that creates the three realms, not an evil Buddha like you who has ulterior motives, harms living beings, and uses one realm as the base."

"Look, you still haven't mastered your spiritual practice."

Maitreya shook his head, not angry, and said with a smile:

"The world is illusory, all living beings are suffering, and the skin is external, so how can it surround the original heart.

"What you see is that I have plotted against the living beings in that world. How do you know that I am not saving more living beings? You only know that I am doing evil to you, so how do you know that I am doing evil to you not for the sake of more good deeds?"

To someone else?

"False and unreal, false and true, there is no self in the world, only the pilgrims are to blame.

"You taking refuge in Qinghua is a refuge, so how can taking refuge in me not be a refuge?"

Zhou Zheng secretly frowned slightly.

It is best for the roc not to open its mouth, as once it opens its mouth, it will fall into Maitreya's words.

But obviously, the Dapeng bird was not aware of the other party's intention, and said calmly: "What I take refuge in is not the Buddha, but my heart, and what I seek is not the teacher, but the good deeds in my heart."

"ridiculous."

Maitreya's gaze became quite aggressive.

He said: "Who decided what is good and evil for you? Who said that your actions are good deeds? Look at those creatures of the Feather Clan. Without your protection, they will inevitably be bullied and played by other ancestors of the Monster Clan. This

Is this your good deeds?”

The roc bird was silent.

Maitreya said again: "How do you think Qinghua Emperor is good and I am evil? Are your views on good and evil so shallow? Keeping the old rules is good? Creating a new order is evil? Keeping

Is it good to be a creature whose greedy desires cannot be satisfied? Is it evil to protect this world so that more creatures can continue to survive for a longer period of time in the future?

"You said you want to take refuge in the good thoughts in your heart. What are good thoughts? Compassion? Is it the mercy of the strong towards the weak? The strong are only hypocritical towards the weak.

"It is the nature of living beings to be strong. The only purpose of living beings is to live. To live longer is to occupy a position and is destined to squeeze the living space of other living beings.

"The emptiness of all phenomena means that all this is meaningless. It comes from nothingness and returns to nothingness. The traces you leave to the universe will always be healed by time.

"Emperor Qinghua is good to the human race, but evil to the demon race; he is good to the living beings, but evil to this already overwhelmed world.

"Roc, tell me again, what is good and what is evil? If living beings themselves are evil, then what is the point of thinking about these things?

"Who can you convert to?"

The confusion in Dapeng Bird's eyes was even worse.

In the darkness, Nezha glanced at Zhou Zheng and muttered: "Emperor, we can't let him continue talking."

"It doesn't matter," Zhou Zheng smiled and shook his head, "Let's see how far Dapeng has understood it first."

When Nezha saw Zhou Zheng so calm and relaxed, his heart suddenly calmed down.

Actually...

Zhou Zheng: It’s broken, it’s time to start a fight. Maitreya is now in charge of the Jietian Sect? Good guy, Maitreya starts talking about Taoism. Who can withstand it? You still need to be wise and brave to talk about these things.

ah.

Although a lot of people were panicking, Zhou Zheng still showed his composure.

Then I heard Maitreya click his tongue: "Is this what Qinghua Buddha taught you? Do you know that from the disciples to the Buddha, our Buddhist sect has to debate at the Daleiyin Temple every once in a while, Dapeng, you are not as good as

I really want to become my disciple, and I will teach you how to understand the supreme magic, haha! Hahaha!"

Dapengniao frowned and shook his head, but said: "Your way is not the way I aspire to, and your Buddha is not the Buddha I recognize."

Maitreya said: "Buddha is the original mind. Why should our own original mind be recognized by outsiders?"

"If there is no need to be recognized by outsiders, then why does the Buddha teach living beings to do good deeds and accumulate virtue?"

"All living beings are hypocritical. Only in this way can we attract more believers and add more incense."

"Absurd! Did the Buddha cut his flesh and feed it to eagles to recruit followers?"

"How do you know it's not just for more allusions? Tathagata just opened his mouth in vain. Have you really seen what he said?"

Maitreya sneered:

"The thing that bothers me the most is those fools who hold on to scriptures every day. They regard chanting sutras, singing Buddha, eating fasts and taking precepts as their own practice. In the end, they lose the essence, ignore the basics and ignore the last, and foolishly think that eating fasts and taking precepts is the way to practice.

.

"Dapeng, Dapeng, what's the point of sitting here?

"Let me go, I will take you to experience the true path of spiritual practice."

The roc was silent again.

His eyes were still clear, but he didn't know how to refute the other party's unreasonable remarks.

Maitreya smiled and said: "Then let me ask you, you said you want to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, but if you encounter robbers on the road, robbing homes, killing people and setting fires, what should you do?"

"I will stop myself from moving forward."

"But if the robbers don't rob homes, kill people and set fires, the young and old in your own family will starve to death. What should you do?"

"Encourage robbers to do good."

"If the robber does bad things, it's like a gambler who can't stop gambling. Should you kill him or not?"

The roc was silent again.

Maitreya said: "Look, isn't this just cutting meat to feed the eagles?"

"This is different," Dapeng showed a slight smile and said slowly, "Buddha cut meat and fed it to the eagle to save Gezi. He sacrificed himself to save the weak. How could he be like a robber? What's more, a robber

Although he is a robber, there is still a possibility of repentance, otherwise why would the eminent monks write scriptures?"

Maitreya nodded: "I never thought that you still have some skills."

The corners of the Dapeng's mouth outline a slight arc.

Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly and began to look for the three-piece set of Qinghua Buddha among his stored magic weapons.

Sure enough, Maitreya slowly spoke:

"Are the creatures in this world not the so-called robbers? The creatures who have opened their spiritual intelligence, plunder the creatures who have not yet opened their spiritual intelligence, and the powerful creatures plunder the weak creatures. You have experienced all this, and you have even done it countless times.

Peng.

"In your past life, how many people did you eat, how many creatures did you kill, and how many stars did you destroy? Do you still remember it?"

The roc was slightly startled.

"You said you should abandon evil and do good, and you advertised it here. You hid in Buddhism just to avoid the condemnation you should have received. Isn't this really shameless?"

Maitreya smiled and said, "You shameless person."

The Dapeng bird looked a little pale.

Maitreya walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

The roc seems to be sitting on a piece of water as smooth as a mirror, staring blankly ahead.

"You were a very evil person in the past. Once you realize your true self, those evil deeds will disappear, right?"

Maitreya said slowly:

"You know, a real eminent monk does not just take the ordination. A real eminent monk spends his life pursuing the realm of Buddha, doing good deeds, accumulating virtue, and helping the poor and weak.

"And what about you? You are highly capable and powerful, so you do everything right. You abandon evil and do good, but you are still praised by all the people. Is this your way of doing good?"

"I……"

"Look down, Dapeng."

Maitreya's voice penetrated Dapeng's ears. Dapeng looked down subconsciously, only to see layers of blood emerging from the ground beneath him. There were countless living beings struggling inside, and countless familiar faces roaring.

Waves of Sanskrit singing erupted from the water, but only Dapeng could hear it.

"Who is the real evil?"

"Who is the real evil?"
