Traveling through the heavens begins with shooting the eagle

Chapter 136 Xiao Yuanshan

Even though thirty years had passed and the man was no longer young, Xuanci recognized him instantly.

After all, Xuanci still vividly remembers that bloody battle thirty years ago and cannot forget it. How could he not recognize him? !
"You are still alive." Xuanci revealed the identity of the masked man in black, "Xiao Yuanshan"

As soon as the three words Xiao Yuanshan came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. After all, they had just heard this person's name from Li Chuan's mouth before, and through Li Chuan's narration, they learned about the bloody battle at Yanmen Pass. Unexpectedly, now This person actually appeared in this Shaolin Temple!

But whether it was Li Chuan or Xuan Ci, didn't they all say that Xiao Yuanshan jumped off the cliff and died for love out of grief and anger? Why does it appear here alive now? !

Xuanci also had the same question, and couldn't help but ask: "Almsgiver Xiao, didn't you commit suicide by jumping off the cliff? Is it possible that you actually jumped off the cliff and survived?"

"That's right!" Xiao Yuanshan snorted coldly, "Back then, my beloved wife was killed by you guys. Xiao was so sad and angry that he felt disheartened and just wanted to leave with my deceased wife."

"But I didn't expect that under the cliff, there was a pine tree growing out of the cliff. Xiao fell on the pine tree. Because of this, he was not dead. It was like even God wanted Xiao to live. Come down!"

"It was also after that that Xiao's desire to seek death disappeared. He just wanted to find out the truth about why you and others harmed my family, and then come back with revenge and pay you back thousands of times the suffering you and others caused to my family!"

Hearing this, Xuanci couldn't help but feel bitter on his face, and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."

"I see. If you put it this way, I'm afraid, Donor Xiao, you have been keeping an eye on the poor monk for the past thirty years, right?"

"That's right!" Xiao Yuanshan sneered, "So others don't know what kind of shameless and despicable villain you are secretly, a sanctimonious old bald donkey, but I know very well!"

"You old bald donkey. You may look like a virtuous monk on weekdays, but in reality you are really a male thief and a female prostitute!"

"In order to enhance your reputation and prestige, you led a group of Central Plains martial arts masters to Yanmen Pass to ambush my family. Even though you were aware of something amiss, for the sake of your reputation, you still killed my beloved wife and wanted to silence her! "

"Even if the old monks Wang Jiantong and Zhiguang weren't still alive at that time, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be prepared to let go of my young son, right?"

"Later, you returned to the Shaolin Temple and sat on the abbot's throne as you wished. However, you still lusted after her and committed adultery with Ye Erniang and gave birth to a son."

"Seeing this, I couldn't help but think of my son who was stolen by you and tricked him into becoming a Han, so I took action to snatch your son and send him away."

"My original intention was only to retaliate and punish you, so I didn't do anything to your son."

"But after Ye Erniang lost her son and was ruthlessly abandoned by you, she went crazy because of it. She went around stealing other people's sons to play with, and then killed them. According to your Buddhist saying, she created boundless A sinful debt."

"I didn't expect this, so I am indirectly responsible for the evil Ye Erniang has done, and I admit it! But what about you? Xuanci old bald donkey, do you admit this debt? "

"Ye Erniang's martial arts was passed down to her by you, and you abandoned her, and you knew that she had killed so many babies, but you never tried to control her. I'm afraid the debt you carry is greater than mine. It’s much heavier!”

"Xuanci old bald donkey, after you die, I'm afraid you will go to the eighteen levels of hell with her!"

Xiao Yuanshan has been hiding in the Sutra Pavilion of the Shaolin Temple for so many years. Although he has only stolen secret books and has never read a few Buddhist scriptures, he has been in the Shaolin Temple for so long and has been immersed in some Buddhist teachings. Have some understanding. Now that he was talking about Buddhist karma and sinful debts, Xuanci was suddenly covered in cold sweat, as if he had already seen the horrific scene of the eighteen levels of hell.

"No!" It was Ye Erniang who spoke anxiously to defend Xuanci.

"It's not his fault. It was me who took the initiative to seduce him, and those children were all caused by me and had nothing to do with him at all."

"If you want to go to hell, just let me go alone. He is innocent."

Ye Erniang looked at Xiao Yuanshan with a pleading face and said: "Old hero Xiao, if you have hatred in your heart because of the death of your wife, I am willing to use my life to repay it."

"I just ask you, Old Hero Xiao, to be merciful and tell me the news about my poor child. If I can see him with my own eyes, I am willing to die to atone for my sins!"

"Hmph!" Xiao Yuanshan just snorted coldly, "What's the point of taking your life? What Xiao is looking for now is this Xuanci old bald donkey. Don't continue to pester me."

"As for your son, hey, are you sure you want me to expose his identity in front of the world? With parents like you, I'm afraid he will never be able to hold his head up in front of the world for the rest of his life!"

"I don't have any deep grudges with your son, so why would I need to harm him like this?"

Ye Erniang was stunned for a moment, feeling extremely sad in her heart. Indeed, if her son's identity was known to the world, he would inevitably be cast aside because of her.

"Amitabha!" Xuanci recited the Buddha's name and stepped forward, "The poor monk is certainly responsible for all the mistakes in the past. Today, the poor monk will give an explanation to the donor Xiao, to the hero Qiao, and to the heroes of the world who are present. !”

He turned to look at the fat monk behind him and asked: "Junior brother, according to Shaolin laws, killing an innocent person is a crime of killing, and raping a woman is a crime of lust. Both crimes are punished at the same time. How should we deal with it?"

The fat monk was stunned for a moment, and then he realized clearly that Xuanci was going to sacrifice himself to protect the precepts and reputation of Shaolin with his own life!

For a moment, he couldn't help but hesitate and opened his mouth, but did not speak.

When Xuanci saw this, he looked solemn and said: "Junior brother, this is related to my reputation in Shaolin. There must be no selfish intention at all!"

After the fat monk was silent for a while, he spoke out: "According to the Shaolin precepts, if a monk in the temple violates the sexual precept, he shall be punished with a hundred spine rods; if he violates the killing precept, he shall be punished with a hundred and fifty rods. Both crimes shall be punished concurrently. , should be beaten with two hundred and fifty canes."

Although Shaolin's punishments are said to be spine rods, in fact they are almost the same as the death penalty.

After all, the Shaolin Temple's spine staff is not like the official one, which only uses rattan, bamboo slices, etc., but is a real, thick long staff made of pear hardwood!

If an ordinary person were to hit him with just a few sticks, he would be seriously injured and vomit blood on the spot. Even a martial artist with martial arts skills would not be able to sustain a few more sticks.

Among the major precepts of the Shaolin Temple, punishments such as the lust command and the killing command are often punished by hundreds of sticks. It is almost obvious that the punishment will be life-threatening!
It's just because among Buddhists it's not easy to speak out about the death penalty and killing, it's called a spine staff.
