"My brother has been waiting for you for a long time. I will serve you now."

The proprietress glanced at the little girl indifferently, serving Zhuo Yunxian while chatting endlessly.

Delicious food, fragrant.

Zhuo Yunxian was unmoved at all, just sat in silence.

The boss's wife didn't care, so she turned to the little girl behind Kong Chen, and smiled and said, "Xiao Qi, has the task today been completed?"

"Yeah, I've finished eating all of them."

The little girl nodded in a hurry and then shrank back.

Kongchen opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped, and closed his hands and muttered something.

Seeing this scene, Zhuo Yunxian was slightly stunned and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He thought the little monk and the little girl were companions, but he didn't expect that Kongchen was an "outsider", and there seemed to be something else in this matter.

However, Zhuo Yunxian is not a meddling personality. Although he thinks the relationship between the three of them is complicated, he doesn't ask much.

...

"Brother, why don't you eat it? Is the dishes here not to your liking?"

The boss's wife looked at Zhuo Yunxian with a smile and filled the wine glass in front of her.

Zhuo Yunxian shook his head and said, "I dare not eat it."

"Don't dare?"

The boss’s wife smiled even more: “These wines and dishes are non-toxic and harmless, why don’t the guy dare?”

Zhuo Yunxian said lightly: "Wine and food are harmless, people's hearts are poisonous, so the boss's wife doesn't have to spend money."

The boss's wife couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the little brother can see the mystery of it now with his naked eyes? Forget it. Since the little brother doesn't appreciate it, I will no longer be self-indulgent."

While speaking, the boss's wife waved her sleeves, and the wine and food on the table turned into seven-color balls of light, floating in front of the little girl.

It turns out that the wine and dishes on the table are all made up of various desires.

"Xiao Qi, since they don't eat it, I'll give it to you."

"Uh-huh."

The little girl nodded and sucked it gently. All the seven-colored light balls were swallowed into her stomach. The scene was indescribable.

“It’s delicious, so delicious!”

The little girl patted her bulging belly and sat on the bench with satisfaction.

Zhuo Yunxian was slightly stunned, and then frowned.

He once saw similar records in a broken ancient book. In ancient times, there was an evil spirit who specialized in feeding on evil thoughts and understood the way of change. When good, it was like a innocent child and innocent, and when evil, it was like a devil who was tragic to the people.

"Amitabha!"

Kong Chen pronounced the Buddha's name and said seriously: "The female donor, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore... You forcibly absorb the desires of sentient beings and let Xiaoqi eat evil thoughts. This is a rebellious act that will destroy human nature. Sooner or later, it will cause a great disaster. Please ask the female donor to stop in time."

"Gee!"

The boss lady laughed and said harshly: "Why can I compare to your Buddhist methods when I say that I have lost my human nature? Cutting off the seven emotions, eliminating the six desires, and forcibly suppressing my own emotions is the real inhumanity? Brother, do you think so?"

The boss's wife asked Xiang Zhuo Yunxian for the last sentence, but unfortunately Zhuo Yunxian had no expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Amitabha."

Kong Chen looked sad, but did not refute.

There are three poisons in Buddhism, "greed, anger, and ignorance". Kong Chen's mind has long been out of this state, so he will naturally not make unnecessary arguments with the boss lady. What's more, some of the methods in Buddhism are indeed not glorious. Biru forced to save people, happy dual cultivation, etc., has been criticized by the world.

"Forget it, the little monk is really boring."

The boss's wife stroked the willow eyebrows and pretended to be helpless: "I am just a soul-suppressing spirit, so how can I be qualified to go against the will of heaven? If the young monk is really capable, he should take over this world. Otherwise, what's the point of staying here all day?"

Without waiting for Kong Chen to respond, the boss lady turned to Zhuo Yunxian again: "By the way, brother, how could you come to us? Apart from this little monk, there are no outsiders in our Hongchen Ferry for nearly a hundred years."

Zhuo Yunxian asked without answering a question: "What do the boss's wife think?"

The boss's wife smiled and looked at Zhuo Yunxian and said, "Young man is definitely not trying to avoid disaster. You are clean and don't smell any blood. You don't look like someone from the underworld. Could it be that you are like this little monk, who comes from outside the underworld?"

Zhuo Yunxian did not deny: "The boss lady has good eyesight."

The boss lady disagreed and said, "It's nothing. After living for a long time, she will naturally have more knowledge. However, the young man is very brave. He dares to come here alone, so why don't he be afraid of not going back?"

Zhuo Yunxian said bluntly: "I want to go to Ziyou Water, but I just pass by this Hongchen Ferry. I wonder if the boss's wife can give me some advice and let me leave here."

The boss's wife persuaded: "There are many troubles outside, why should you leave?"

As he spoke, the boss lady walked to the window and watched the people coming and going on the street: "The monks have the troubles of monks, and the mortals have the happiness of mortals. Look at the peace and peace here, and everyone lives happily and freely. As long as you stay here, all the troubles will leave you."

"Just like it just now?"

Zhuo Yunxian also stood up and walked to the window, and said in a complicated tone: "If you guessed it wrong, those desires just now came from the creatures here, right? They were forced to be extracted by you, so they had no worries, no pain, no disputes, just lived numbly... No wonder Master Kong Chen had such a reaction just now, and such a method was indeed too much."

"Amitabha, what the donor said is very much."

Kong Chen walked to Zhuo Yunxian and confronted the boss's wife, obviously expressing his position.

If a person loses his emotions and desires, what is the difference between him and a walking corpse?

In Kongchen's view, this Hongchen Ferry Crossing is not a soul ferrying, it is clearly an inhumane purgatory!

Zhuo Yunxian sighed quite emotionally: "Happiness may not be really happy, freedom may not be really freedom. Heaven and earth are like shackles, isn't this a cage?"

The boss's wife smiled and said indifferently: "It seems that you two are really unwilling to give up, so let me see what methods you have!"

Before he finished speaking, the boss lady turned around and disappeared, but the little girl stayed.

...

After a moment of silence, Zhuo Yunxian took the initiative to speak, "Mr. Kongchen, I remember that your Buddhist temple has a great vow, 'If hell is not empty, you will not become a Buddha'. Could it be that you want to imitate Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, make a great vow, and become a Buddha immediately?"

"Amitabha, how good it is."

Kong Chen clasped his hands together and looked solemn: "Xiao Zengde was shallow in his deeds. How could he compare with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? This is just a test in the little monk's practice."

Zhuo Yunxian continued to ask, "Then you have been here for so long, but there is a way to crack it? It's impossible for you to really destroy all the creatures here, right?"

"The little monk takes the donor to see a few people first, and the donor will understand then."

Kongchen bowed slightly, then led the little girl out of the inn, and Zhuo Yunxian followed behind him with Xiaoshitou.
