#308 - You are right.

"You're asking me to sacrifice myself to guide you into Buddhism. You're unwilling to sacrifice yourself, unwilling to guide me, and yet you speak of compassion?"

Xu Ming looked at Shixin with a smile.

In truth, Xu Ming didn't really want to engage in dual cultivation with her.

Although Shixin was indeed very beautiful, Xu Ming felt he wasn't that far gone.

He wouldn't try every possible way to engage in dual cultivation with a pretty girl; what difference would that make between him and a horny dog?

Taking a step back, although Mo Zhu'er was ranked tenth on the Beauty榜, her looks were no worse than Shixin's, just a different style.

It's just that more people liked Shixin's style than Mo Zhu'er's.

Moreover, Mo Zhu'er's Luo River Goddess Physique could indeed bring immense pleasure to the opposite sex.

If purely talking about enjoyment, Xu Ming really didn't think the enjoyment Shixin brought during dual cultivation could surpass Mo Zhu'er's.

But you have to admit, if one could corrupt such a pure and flawless Buddhist nun, that would indeed be a very exciting thing to do to some extent.

However, Xu Ming wasn't evil to that extent.

Xu Ming said this merely to make Shixin back down; that's all.

Because what Xu Ming proposed was inherently unreasonable, Xu Ming felt that the other party wasn't stupid enough to be fooled by his just now nonsense.

Sure enough.

After Xu Ming made the request, Shixin fell into contemplation and didn't mention the matter of him entering Buddhism again.

Besides, I still have to carry on the family line; how could I become a monk? My mother would be the first to disagree.

After a long time, Xu Ming and Shixin had both reached the mountainside. Shixin raised her head to look at Xu Ming: "I cannot agree to what you said."

Hearing Shixin reject his unreasonable request, Xu Ming felt a few points of appreciation for her in his heart.

At least, Shixin wasn't as much of a saint as he had imagined.

Otherwise, he might have suffered quite a bit on this journey.

"Oh? Then tell me, why can't you agree to me?" Xu Ming asked, also quite curious about what kind of answer Shixin had come to.

Shixin looked at Xu Ming seriously: "Using me committing evil to prevent you from doing evil is wrong. This humble monk invites benefactor to enter Buddhism, and benefactor wants this humble monk's body, which means that benefactor doesn't really want to enter Buddhism, but only wants this humble monk's body.

In that case, even if benefactor enters Buddhism, I'm afraid benefactor wouldn't sincerely turn to Buddha.

If benefactor sincerely turned to Buddha, benefactor wouldn't make such a request to this humble monk.

And even if this humble monk agreed to benefactor, future cultivation would always violate one of Buddhism's eight precepts, so is that right or wrong in the end?"

Xu Ming smiled: "That's true, but before, you asked me to let those people go. Then let me ask you, they were about to die, so they begged us, because they were afraid of death, so they begged for mercy, saying that they would definitely not do evil in the future.

Then what difference is there between such people and me who just made that request?"

"." Shixin's small mouth opened slightly, but then closed, and in the end, she was only speechless.

Xu Ming didn't bother with her.

The things he said, if put on the internet in his previous life, internet gods would use various citations and fallacies to argue (spray) you clearly.

Not to mention that the Buddhism of this world doesn't seem as complete as in his previous life?

And now, for Shixin to refute him, that is indeed a bit difficult.

"Benefactor." After another period of time, Shixin raised her head again.

"What other teachings does Master Shixin have?" Xu Ming said with a smile.

Shixin heard a bit of mockery in Xu Ming's tone, but Shixin didn't care and slowly opened her mouth: "What benefactor said before is just conjecture. What if people really want to do good? And what benefactor said before, entering my Buddhism only under the premise of doing evil, is different.

Furthermore, benefactor has such wisdom roots and can truly enter my Buddhism and study Buddhist teachings. If this humble monk can persuade benefactor to enter Buddhism, it would also be a meritorious deed."

Xu Ming yawned: "That's your merit, not mine. Besides, you said 'what if' before. What if they didn't do good? You're not them, how do you know if the other party is really doing good?

But they did evil first, so I killed them. Even if they really had the intention to do good, so what? Then I also avenged other people.

No matter what, I killed them, they won't harm other people, and they also paid the price for their crimes, so it's a win-win situation no matter what. Why take another risk?"

"When will the cycle of vengeance end?" Shixin shook her head.

Xu Ming smiled: "If there is no cycle of vengeance in the world, those who do evil will be even more unscrupulous. Are good people destined to have swords pointed at them? Should evildoers be allowed to go unpunished!"

Shixin: "."

Shixin fell silent again.

Clearly, everything Xu Ming said was full of extreme hostility, but Shixin couldn't refute it, and even felt that Xu Ming's words made some sense.

But if that were really the case, then what was the meaning of what her master said, "Persuade people to do good"?

Xu Ming felt the fluctuation of spiritual power around Shixin and couldn't help but be startled, thinking that this guy might have been somewhat possessed by the devil by what he said?

What if she accidentally got into a dead end and something went wrong? Wouldn't Leiming Temple come to trouble him?

Leiming Temple is a big temple. If they come to trouble me, then I definitely won't be able to explain it.

"Everything I said just now was just talk. Don't take it to heart. I think everything you said is right. There's nothing wrong with sticking to your own ideas," Xu Ming said. What if something went wrong with her state of mind? How would he solve his mother's problem?

Rather than that, he might as well not argue with her and just go along with her.

Of course, it's impossible to be a monk. It's impossible to be a monk in this life.

"Benefactor clearly spoke very reasonably, so why take the initiative to admit your mistake?" Shixin tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"Because I think what you said is more reasonable," Xu Ming said.

At this time, Shixin shook her head: "It's not that what I said is reasonable, but that benefactor is worried that something will happen to me and that I won't help benefactor after going out, so you deliberately said that."

"You know that too," Xu Ming thought.

"Hey! Isn't this the top scorer in the imperial exam?"

Just as Xu Ming was thinking about how to coax her, a voice came from not far away.

Xu Ming looked over, and four people were walking towards him.
