Chapter 178: One Step, One Sin, One Step, One Lotus
Deep in the cave, it suddenly became quiet.
The Seventh Sinner's eyes flickered as he stared at Pinggong Qianye, as if he was thinking about something.
"Never."
Master Leaving answered confidently, "Every time He appears, it is basically one clone. Only when He voluntarily allowed himself to be suppressed, did He appear with three clones at the same time."
"Then how do you determine that the Seven Sinners must have seven clones?"
"..."
Master Luanjie thought about it for a long time with a strange look on his face. “I also forgot where I heard it from. It seems that we naturally know this part of information about Him.”
"Seventh Lord of Sin, won't you come out and explain?" Pinggong Qianye threw the topic to the Seventh Lord of Sin who were silent and watching the show.
What are you explaining?
Can you explain that I had too many negative emotions in this world, and I ate too much, and finally couldn't take it anymore, so I had to create seven clones to speed up digestion?
The Seven Evil Lords remained silent. They had only experienced a complete body for about three days before they had to divide it into seven parts.
There is no way, this world is too terrible and sad.
The negative emotions of all living beings, surging like the sea and as dark as ink, are filled with stench and the smell of decay.
They seemed to treat themselves as a garbage recycling station and tried their best to inject it into their bodies.
What can He do?
At that time, He had just been born from the black sea of accumulated negative emotions.
Just like human babies, they grow rapidly while devouring negative emotions.
In just three days, He couldn't remember how much negative emotions He had consumed.
His character also began to change rapidly.
Can sentient beings blame Him?
Can He blame all living beings?
This is the source of His power and His parent of all living beings!
The Seventh Sinner Lord sighed helplessly, put away his distracting thoughts, and looked at the young Master Liansheng.
Light, the light of the universe.
The endless light emitted by the Vairocana Tathagata within the body illuminates all the Dharma realms.
That is an existence completely different from myself.
Light and shadow?
Darkness and light?
Are there facial masks on the stage that represent different identities?
"Master Liansheng, I have always believed that you and I have the deepest connection."
"Oh, then is the relationship between you and me a good one or a bad one?"
"Whether it is a good fate or a bad fate depends on you."
"Is it really up to me, not you?"
"One step leads to sin, one step leads to lotus flower."
The Seventh Sinner Lord showed a little smile in his eyes, "Master Liansheng, do you think this is a good fate or a bad fate?"
"..."
Pinggong Qianye was completely confused by this sentence. Where did this Lord of the Seven Sins hear this sentence from?
Or is it a sentence He created based on His own feelings?
Why does it sound like fate has been predestined?
"I am the Seven Sinful Lords, and you are Master Liansheng. No matter the good or bad fate between you and me, we are destined to be entangled for life."
When the Seventh Sinner said this, he felt very touched, as if it was spoken from the heart.
Pinggong Qianye was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Seventh Sin Lord, it seems that your fate-seeking skills have reached a fork in the road."
"Fate, Master Liansheng, don't you think that our meeting here is a kind of fate?"
"..."
Pinggong Qianye opened his mouth and chose to remain silent. Why did he suddenly have a strange feeling? Was this conversation going off the track?
Is he thinking too much, or is there something wrong with the mental state of the Seven Sins Lords?
The Seventh Sinner Lord seemed to see through Pinggong Qianye's mood, and his tone became gentler, gradually changing from a more masculine voice to a more feminine one.
"If there really is a theory of past lives, Master Liansheng, you and I should have been entangled for a long time."
"..."
Pinggong Qianye fell silent again, his fists slightly clenched. This almost sissy-like voice really made him want to punch the Seven Sinners in the face.
No, he was talking fine just now, but now I suddenly feel like he has taken a liking to me as a pervert.
Pinggong Qianye took a deep breath, dispelled the anger rising in his heart, and tried his best not to let his mind be moved by the words of the Seven Sinners.
"One step, one sin, one step, one lotus... Is this really a predetermined fate?"
Master Lajie was obviously moved by the words of the Seven Sinners.
But soon, Master Lejie laughed and said, "If it is really the fate of one sin at a time and one lotus at a time, then the Seven Sinners, you are destined to be taken in by Master Liansheng!"
"You have also cultivated the ability to see destiny, and this is a prophecy you said yourself!"
"Sometimes, a casual word is the most correct answer."
This time it was the turn of the Seven Sinners to remain silent.
One step, one sin, one lotus...
After a little thought, Pinggong Qianye understood the meaning of what Master Jie said, that the seven evil lords were destined to be captured by him.
In Master Liaojie's understanding, "one step, one sin" means to resolve the sins of the world step by step. "One step, one lotus" should refer to the birth of the Buddha, and one lotus will bloom with one step.
The complete meaning of this sentence is: When the Buddha was born, a lotus flower was born with every step he took. With great compassion, great fearlessness, and great perseverance, he resolved all the sins of the world step by step.
Substituting oneself for the seven sinners means that the seven sinners will be eliminated step by step by oneself in the end.
Judging from this solution, the seven evil masters were indeed captured by themselves.
But, is it really such a coincidence?
Pinggong Qianye also fell silent. He never liked to attribute the occurrence of an event to accidental factors such as coincidence.
However, since his birth, in his mother's dream, he was carried across the Forgetful River on a lotus flower, hence the Buddhist name Liansheng.
In every aspect, his situation fits this statement very well.
In Buddhism, his situation with the seven evil lords cannot be explained by coincidence, but rather is a result of their natural hostility.
In particular, Master Liaojie and the Seven Evil Lords have both comprehended the ability to know one's destiny, and he is about to practice the ability to know one's destiny as well.
The taste of fate is indeed very strong, to the point where it is impossible to ignore or turn a deaf ear to it.
"A fateful duel, a destiny that is difficult to predict."
Pinggong Qianye whispered in his heart and smiled.
He didn't care whether it was fate or not, he only cared that if the Seven Sins Lord was really the cause of disaster, he would do everything he could to deal with Him.
"Why aren't you talking? Are you mute? You usually talk so much, but now you can't?"
Master Leaving was obviously in a good mood, and his tone became a little more playful.
The face that was tightly pressed against his right cheek moved slightly and actually ran to his left cheek.
The face of the Seventh Lord of Sins was like the ice mask of Indra, concealing His true appearance and expression.
"Master Liansheng, I am devoted to Buddhism and wish to learn about light and compassion. Would you be willing to lead me into Buddhism?"
This time, the voices of the Seven Sinners have been completely transformed into pure female voices.
Especially the sentence, "Would you like to lead me into Buddhism?"
It really has a melodious and pleasant taste.
Like a white lotus, it is too shy to bear the cool breeze.
"..."
Pinggong Qianye sighed, "Seventh Sin Lord, can you please speak properly? Do you have to speak in this tone?"
"Disgusting!" Master Liaojie added on behalf of Pinggong Qianye.
"I was born from all living things. When I was born, there was no gender distinction. I can be male or female, domineering or charming, all depending on my mood."
After saying this, the Seven Sinners deliberately laughed like a silver bell.
This time, Master Liaojie's mouth twitched slightly, and he tried his best to suppress the urge to laugh.
The Master of Conclusion is definitely snickering!
Pinggong Qianye clearly saw the well-hidden smile at the corner of Master Jie's mouth.
"This is also a test for you."
After Master Lajie finished speaking, he closed his eyes and let Pinggong Qianye face the Seven Sinners who were in a strange mental state alone.
"..."
"In front of Master Liansheng, who is as strong as the sun, I naturally look weak and pitiful."
"..."
Pinggong Qianye suddenly felt fortunate that Master Laojie had locked most of his body inside the mountain wall. Otherwise, when the Seventh Sinner Lord said this, he would most likely pose in a coquettish manner or even make a move on her.
With the old face of the master, speaking in the voice of a young woman, and making coquettish gestures and touching her, the scene was absolutely terrifying.
"Master Liansheng remained silent. Is he still worried about the difference between men and women?"
The Seven Sinners spoke again, and this time Pinggong Qianye did not remain silent, otherwise his next words would definitely be accused of being biased by the Seven Sinners.
"It's not that I have a problem with the difference between men and women, but you have the difference between men and women first."
If you want to put the blame on yourself, put the blame on Him first.
"What does Master Liansheng mean by this?"
"Your voice was clearly male at the beginning, why did it suddenly change to female? Since you think there is no difference, why did you use the difference between men and women to test me?"
"I just want Master Liansheng to understand my inner self better. Is this a sin?"
"..."
The timid and weak voice made Pinggong Qianye really want to punch him.
Just the conversation made him feel uncomfortable.
Alas, I still haven’t cultivated myself well enough.
Pinggong Qianye reflected on himself and silently recited Buddhist scriptures in his heart to eliminate these false thoughts and anger.
Seeing Pinggong Qianye remained silent, the Seven Sinful Lords chuckled, "Master Liansheng, I would like to follow you into Buddhism. Are you willing to save me?"
