Chapter 68
(9)

It was said that the pair of enemies seemed to be still chattering, and the Miao girl named Mengdie noticed the few people who had just arrived and glanced at Mei Niang angrily. monks were arguing about something.The monk opened his round eyes and looked straight at the arched door of the Buddha Pagoda.Such a graceful woman, coupled with her looming face covered by a veil, it is difficult for any ordinary person to ignore her existence, which shows the sincerity in this monk's heart. He really really wants to stop and talk with the famous monk Xuanqing of Qingliang Temple .

In this place of purification, everything should be silent, but today's situation is a bit special.The floor-sweeping monk on the side was naturally very dissatisfied with the Miao girl who made a loud noise and disturbed the rules, but was afraid of the mysterious wandering monk beside her, so she only dared to stay at a distance and complain softly.After a few hours like this, two monks came out from the dark entrance of the Buddha Pagoda. One was the little monk with kind eyebrows who led Bai Feng and the others here, and the other was an old monk with white hair and beard. His eyes seemed to have not slept for days. As bloated, only a small gap exposed.In his right hand, he is holding a golden-lacquered Zen staff, with a golden Buddha bell hanging from the top of the stick, which makes a sound when he walks.

The old monk hunched his body and was gently supported by the little monk beside him, walking slowly forward step by step.The meditative staff in the right hand also made a sound, attracting the attention of everyone in front of the tower.When one of the monks who was cleaning the fallen leaves and dust just saw this, he hurriedly brought the Buddha felt to the Buddha Pagoda, and welcomed the old monk to sit down in front of the felt.The old monk put the Zen stick in front of him and sat cross-legged. The loose red Buddhist shirt could not cover his shriveled body, and he pulled it to the ground.He immediately clasped his hands together, with a string of sandalwood beads hanging on his left palm, turned his head to look at the visitor, and recognized the town official Yang Ji at a glance.

"Oh! Lord Yang! We haven't seen each other for a long time. How is Mrs. Yang?"

After Yang Ji heard it, he also put his palms together and replied, "Master Hui, the poor and the children are very good. Speaking of which, the last time I met with the master was half a year ago. The master is busy, but he still remembers the villain. This is really small. Man's honor!"

"Hahaha..." The intermittent laughter from Xuanqing's mouth made people forget that this is a serious cultivation place: "It's better to say less compliments from Lord Yang, after all, this place of cultivation is for the purpose of making When people are pure, there is no need to repeat the clichés in officialdom and the world!"

"Mr. Yang keep it in mind!" Yang Ji bowed deeply, slightly ashamed.

"Is it said that Master Yang's mind is over? I see the old monk's radiant face, which is different from before, so I asked each other curiously..."

"Master is right!" Yang Ji returned, only to hear a woman's whine coming from the side.

"Oops!" Miao Nv knelt on the ground in response, her delicate fingertips caressed her red arm, and then scolded another monk who was kneeling like her with a louder voice, "Why do you want me? Kneel? This old bald donkey is not my father and mother!"

A few monks who were sweeping the floor saw someone yelling and rude in front of the abbot, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, grabbing their brooms and going to chase them away.When the abbot Xuanqing saw this, he waved and stopped the little monks and said "no problem", which prevented a big battle from happening.The abbot narrowed his eyes, smiled kindly, and said to the pile of kneeling men and women, "These two are the guests who came up the mountain recently, right?"

"Yes, Master Xuanqing!" The round-eyed monk finally said a sentence: "The little monk's name is Jue Xin, and he is a walking monk who places orders."

"Oh! Is your Excellency coming to this Qingliang Temple to stay overnight for cultivation?"

"No! To be honest, the little monk fled here... I heard that there is a holy monk living on Qingliang Mountain, so I came to visit!" Monk Jue Xin looked at the shocked faces of the people around him, and suddenly humiliated and opened his mouth, his eyes filled with humiliation. Hot tears, clasped palms tightly, hesitantly said: "Little monk has committed a heinous crime! Little monk..."

Abbot Xuanqing also seemed a little confused, but he seemed to be very interested in this monk with a young Miao girl by his side, so he guided him: "Jue Xin, if you think your actions are not against the heaven and righteousness, but Say it!"

"Xiao Seng...killed people...killed a lot of people!" Jue Xin repented: "Xiao Seng grew up in temples since he was a child, and was deeply taught by Buddhist scriptures. About two years ago, Xiao Seng was ordered by his teacher to travel around the temples all over the world. With a little skill, he has escaped large and small military disasters and man-made disasters. However, in a temple at the foot of Qi Huangcheng, the little monk encountered a fallacy that he had never seen in his life!" After he finished speaking, he looked at himself with tears in his eyes. The Miao girl next to him continued: "When the monk was practicing there, he often heard about the disappearance of his daughter and young wife from a commoner's family. At first I thought it was the work of robbers and bandits, until one day, I found out that the foot of the imperial city was at the foot of the palace. There are many women hidden in the temple, and I know the truth behind it! It was the monks in that temple who abducted and sold women together with the Daoists of Taiping!

"Taiping Road?" At this point, Bai Feng and Murong Yan, who were on the side, looked at each other at the same time.And the abbot Xuanqing sitting on the Buddha felt, as if he remembered something, his bloated eyes widened!

"Those women are disguised as pilgrims and believers on weekdays, but at night, they sadly become playthings! This made the little monk very puzzled and angry, so I went to find the theory of the abbot of the temple. 'More than others! He shamelessly admitted his viciousness and invited me to the dark pavilion with him. When Xiao Seng saw the 'interesting thing' he said, Xiao Seng couldn't hold back any longer. The anger in his heart! He actually wanted to starve a Miao woman into unconsciousness for his own selfish desires, and even tortured her into a human form!" Jue Xin nodded deeply, his face was full of grief, tears kept falling on the ground, and his palms folded together. He also trembled violently because of the long-suppressed emotion that suddenly flooded into his heart.

"Jue Xin! Stop talking!" Meng Die on the side was also crying and sad, hugging the other side to comfort her.Jue Xin's solid arm became immature due to the almost collapsed emotions, and was attached to Meng Die's arms like a child.

When Abbot Xuanqing saw such a situation and heard such a tragedy, he frowned deeply and pressed his eyes.After a few hours, he slowly stood up, and the little monk with kind eyebrows next to him wanted to help, but was declined by the abbot.Xuanqing walked to Jue Xin with his Zen staff, stroked his head with his hand, and said with compassion: "Son, you did the right thing, the way of eliminating demons and guards is something that monks should do..."

"But...but, in order to save everyone, I did not hesitate to kill dozens of monks! No matter how much they begged for mercy, I have no mercy! Can such people continue to devote themselves to Buddhahood and continue to practice cultivation? ?"

"Of course! Please stand up!" After saying that, Xuanqing asked the two to stand up, and then ordered the monk to invite the mind, who had already cried to tears, to go back to rest.

Xuan Qing let out a long sigh, and sighed in a tone of remorse that he shouldn't have done at the beginning: "What a sin! The connivance at the beginning has actually brought out such a wicked way of harming the country and the people!" Then, he turned to the Miao girl who was still standing in the same place. Meng Die asked: "Female benefactor, can you continue to explain the story of Jue Xin just now?"

"I... All I know is that afterward, Jue Xin was rescued from the death row. It is said that the head of that person's name was 'Mei Lin', and he seemed to be the enemy of some kind of Taiping Dao! Then I followed him until now. ..." Meng Die's words showed a rare smile, and then seemed to be arguing for Jue Xin: "Old monk! After that incident, he really never killed anyone again! He is not a murderer!"

Xuan Qing nodded in agreement, then slowly returned to the mat, watching the Miao girl follow Jue Xin's footsteps.
