Chapter 487 The common ruler of the world! ?
Not a Monk The protagonist of this story is a young monk, a young monk who has just learned martial arts and is full of kindness.
The master asked the little monk to go down the mountain and walk, so he went down the mountain.
Seeing many people lying on the roadside, pale and thin, skin and bones, dying, he was moved with kindness and took out all the silver and dry food he had on him to help them.
However, they were too many in number, and the silver and dry food the little monk had on him could not meet their needs at all.
At that time, the little monk's clear mind was only thinking about saving people.
So he wanted to return to the mountain gate and beg his master to give some money to help these people overcome their difficulties.
However, he didn't expect that when he turned around, those people pounced on him.
The people who had previously been kneeling on the ground begging for food, now seemed to have turned into evil spirits, attacking him with the most vicious words and accusing him of not helping the dying.
What's worse, some people took out knives and wanted to cut meat from his body and cook it to fill their stomachs.
The young monk had been chanting Buddhist scriptures and reciting Buddha's name under the guidance of his master since he was young. He knew that Buddha had done a heroic act of sacrificing his life to feed an eagle. Since he was young and had a pure heart, he decided to follow the Buddha's example.
If one could use one's flesh and blood to feed these people so that they could live, it would be a great merit.
But...it hurts when the knife cuts my body!
A heart that was originally pure of dust, under the intense pain, suddenly gave rise to some regrets.
With his martial arts skills, these people actually couldn't do anything to him.
However, he lost the initiative and his injuries were too severe. Those people seemed endless. They lay on top of him and cut his flesh with knives. Some even rushed up and drank his blood from his wounds.
The little monk suddenly felt that these people might no longer be human.
You are not sacrificing yourself to save people, but to save a group of... extremely vicious ghosts!
The feeling of regret is like a flame that encounters a light breeze and suddenly turns into a raging flame.
But...it's too late.
Just when he was about to die, a group of people suddenly came.
Those extremely vicious ghosts scattered all at once.
The group of people who came saw the little monk covered in bruises and took him back for treatment.
Using the best medicinal materials and hiring the best doctors, the little monk's injuries soon recovered.
During this process, he also learned that the people who saved him were from a local gang called the "Worry-Free Gang".
The little monk was filled with gratitude towards them and felt that they were the best people in the world.
The leader of the Worry-Free Gang was also very kind to the young monk. The most commendable thing was that he was also well versed in Buddhist philosophy. The two of them often had long conversations and studied the true meaning of Buddhism, which resulted in both of them gaining a lot.
The young monk was born into an extraordinary family and had great martial arts skills at a young age. As a local gang, the Wuyou Gang was inevitably attacked by some hostile gangs.
However, he did not drag the little monk into the gang vortex just because of his high martial arts skills.
But the little monk could still sense that the leader of the Worry-Free Gang would come to him from time to time, covered in injuries. He would never mention where his injuries came from, but the pain on his face could not be hidden.
So the little monk decided to help him.
The first time he followed secretly, and when the leader of the Wuyou Gang was no match for the other party, he stopped him, taught him a lesson and then let him go.
The leader of the Wuyou Gang told the little monk with a guilty conscience that he shouldn't interfere in the gang's affairs because he was a monk...
The young monk pretended to be a man of the world and blamed the leader of the Worry-Free Gang for not treating him as a friend. Although he was a man from outside the world, he was also in the world of mortals. How could he turn a blind eye to his friend's affairs?
After this experience, both of them became more honest.
The little monk always stayed by the side of the leader of the Wuyou Gang and helped him do many things... he dealt with opponents he couldn't deal with, stopped an assassin who was trying to kill him in the street, and neutralized the poison secretly planted by the opponent... In short, he saved the leader of the Wuyou Gang many times.
Until one day, an assassin suddenly came to the door, but he was not here to kill the leader of the Wuyou Gang, but to kill the little monk.
With the little monk's martial arts skills, he didn't care about the other party's suicidal assassination.
It's just that he was very angry.
He didn't understand why someone could be so cruel and so persistent in taking someone's life.
In the past, every time he took action, he would teach the other party a lesson and then drive him away.
But this time he kept the other party. He felt that these people must be influenced by Buddhist scriptures before they could understand how wrong they were.
After all, the leader of the Worry-Free Gang is such a good person...he shouldn't be targeted like this.
But the other party accused him of helping the tyrant, saying that he would not die a good death, and that he was not worthy of becoming a monk...
The little monk's anger gradually dissipated, but doubts arose in his mind.
He explained what a good man the leader of the Worry-Free Gang was, and asked them why they were so determined to kill him?
As a result, the other party sneered and said that the leader of the Wuyou Gang was cruel and ruthless. Although there was no severe drought, he did not leave any way for the people to survive. Almost all the food was confiscated, leaving only some rotten bran for the people to sustain their already difficult lives.
He also said that the leader of the Wuyou Gang had stolen other people's property and killed entire families.
As a result, all those who came to take revenge were stopped by the little monk, who pretended to let them go. Then he secretly killed all of them and hung their bodies on the flagpole of the Wuyou Gang as a warning to all parties.
There are so many things, too numerous to count.
The little monk almost laughed when he heard this. He and the leader of the Worry-Free Gang often talked late into the night and he knew that the leader had a kind heart. How could he be like what the assassin described?
But... he was still a little confused.
Because the assassin was at least right about one thing...Without a severe drought or a major disaster, how could a group of living people starve to death?
Then he began to investigate secretly and eventually found out that everything the assassin said was true.
Those common people were forced into becoming ghosts by the Wuyou Gang, and they themselves were rescued by the Wuyou Gang, but became the evil tiger's accomplices.
Of those who were repelled by him, only a very small number managed to escape, while most of them were captured by the leader of the Wuyou Gang.
Those who were lucky enough to survive had their hands and feet chopped off and were locked in dungeons and tortured day and night.
Those who were unlucky...had already been dried into mummies by the wind.
The young monk once thought that the Wuyou Gang was a pure land on earth, but after an in-depth investigation, he discovered that it was a hell in disguise of a beautiful appearance.
That night...the young monk killed for the first time.
No one in the entire Wuyou Gang, from top to bottom, was spared.
However, before his death, the leader of the Wuyou Gang also begged bitterly, saying that even though he had many faults, he at least saved the little monk's life.
The young monk ignored the so-called life-saving grace and killed him anyway.
But when he walked out of the Worry-Free Gang that was burning with raging fire, his heart was filled with confusion.
Some people want to kill him and eat him, while others want to save him and help him.
Those who kill and eat him are forced to do so, while those who help and save him are abusing their power.
But at that time, it was me who died... Wasn't I innocent?
I just wanted to help them, but why did they do such a cruel thing to me?
They were so cruel to a kind-hearted monk like themselves, but they didn't dare to resist the Wuyou Gang. Wasn't it because of the Wuyou Gang that they didn't dare to resist?
They bully the good and fear the evil, so they only dare to deal with those who are kind-hearted.
The Wuyou Gang bullies the people in the village and tries to please me in every way possible, just to gain my trust and help them do those evil things.
The young monk walked and thought all the way, and for a moment he felt that he could not distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong.
Finally, he sat in meditation on a deserted mountain for three days and three nights, and realized that human nature is greedy and selfish, and the world is like a prison and people are like ghosts. Because in this incident, the perpetrators were the Wuyou Gang, and the victims were the people. The people were powerless to resist the Wuyou Gang, so they had to let them take whatever they wanted. The arrival of the little monk surprised the people and made them realize that they were not powerless.
There are people who are weaker than them and can fill their stomachs better. They are kind people who they can ride on, cut their flesh and drink their blood.
So they also changed from victims to perpetrators.
And all this, in the final analysis, is for the sake of one's own welfare.
Everything they do is for themselves, so they are selfish... greedy.
Such selfishness and greed allow them to transform into Shura demons at any time when facing people who are unwilling to hurt them, and they can kill people weaker than themselves without scruples.
The little monk was suddenly very disappointed with this so-called world.
He left the Wuyou Gang and continued to travel the world.
Then he came to another town... He thought that the people here would also be selfish and greedy.
However, when he arrived, he found that he was wrong.
The people here are not short of food or clothing. They live a rich life. There are no beggars on the road. When the little monk goes to beg for alms, people will give him more vegetarian dishes and sesame cakes, and ask him if he can eat enough. If not, there is also...
The young monk felt his mind broken.
The truth I just realized collapsed...
Isn't human nature supposed to be greedy and selfish? Why, are they so nice?
He didn't understand, so he stayed here for a long time and looked for a long time.
He watched the people in the gang maintaining order in the town, watched the laws and regulations introduced by the gang, and watched the people living and working in peace and contentment, with their doors left open at night and no one picking up things on the streets.
The little monk felt that his dusty heart was slowly being wiped clean.
This world is not necessarily like the endless hell.
Until one day a big gang came and wiped out the small gangs in the town.
And they plundered the town.
People's cries lasted for three full days, and many people died in front of the little monk. The expressions on people's faces changed from smiles to fear, and then from fear to numbness.
Every household left their doors unlocked at night, but now they would immediately lock their doors at the slightest sign of trouble.
From generously allowing the little monk to beg for alms, to hiding when seeing the little monk... as if guarding against a thief.
The little monk discovered that they had changed.
From good people, they gradually turned into greedy and selfish ghosts.
It was at this time that he suddenly realized.
The reason why the people in this town are so nice... is not because they are good people, but because they live a rich life.
Although not all rich people are good people.
But the poor... the hungry, the dying... don't seem to be qualified to have a conscience.
When your own life is in danger, who can care about the life and death of others?
People are indeed selfish. As long as it does not harm their own interests, they will be kind to others within their ability.
But when this last piece of cake, the last steamed bun, becomes one's life-saving straw...who would care about the person who is about to starve to death on the roadside?
The young monk left the town and continued walking, thinking... He knew that the reason why the people in this town could live a prosperous life was because the gang treated them very well and the whole town was well managed by them.
So, if there is someone who can manage this world and all the people so well and govern everything in such an orderly manner.
Then, does that mean there are no more crazy ghosts in this world?
From that day on, the young monk had a great ambition.
He hopes that no one in this world will starve to death on the roadside or turn into a desperate ghost. He hopes to find a ruler who can govern the entire world and make everyone in the world rich!
Thus, this turbid world will be completely transformed!

Chu Qing looked at the person who was speaking silently and asked softly:
"did you find it?"
The non-monk laughed:
"found it."
"Then why is the world still in such chaos?"
“Because he still has obstacles.”
"So, you stole Huangfu Changkong's son in order to clear the obstacles for that person?"
"Yes, he still has a lot of obstacles. He cannot reveal his identity until these obstacles are cleared."
"So the Escape Scholar discovered this, so he must die?"
"He and I have the same aspirations, but he is too soft-hearted, so we are doomed to be at odds.
"So, he does have to die."
"What about you? Your injuries were not caused by the Escape Scholar. Instead, you were injured by others after you killed the Escape Scholar.
"Did the so-called world leader you identified send someone to do this?"
It’s not that the monk didn’t speak.
"He is so cruel and ruthless. Are you sure that he can really become the person you think he is, the one who can change the world?"
Chu Qing asked again.
The monk put his hands together and said:
"Amitabha.
"You are still too young. I have seen all the ugliness in this world. What I have done now, no matter how serious it is, is not even a fraction of what they did.
"In order to turn this turbid world into a pure one.
“If I don’t go to hell, who will?”
"Okay, okay...it really is a great ambition and a great wish."
Chu Qing stood up slowly:
"But why does your ambition require dragging others into hell? And what right do you have to sacrifice someone who has the same ambition as you but does things differently?"
"Although I don't want to...but I have to do it."
The monk's face was still full of compassion, and he seemed really unwilling to kill the scholar who was fleeing, but he had to do it.
Chu Qing lowered his head slightly:
"I don't know what your difficulties are, I only know that... a person who doesn't even have the most basic bottom line can never become a Buddha who saves the world.
"Even a killer like me knows that innocent people should not be killed indiscriminately, so why are you pretending to be merciful in front of me?
"You are not a monk. You should pass away."
