Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1562 Sacrifice
After Danxuan said these words, it seemed that the window paper had been pierced in an instant, and the scene suddenly became awkward.

Chen Zhi didn't explain immediately, but lowered his head and pondered for a while, then he was too small and fat,
"Fatty, you go out for a while~~"

I will chat with the master alone..."

"Mmm!", Fat Wei also felt a little embarrassed at this time, and after answering, he went out very tactfully.

After Fat Wei left, Chen Zhi walked over to Danxuan's bed and sat down gently.

"Master, don't be offended, please forgive me for being suspicious.

After all, your status is special, you are the descendant of Dou Conquer Buddha, and you have some relationship with that monkey, so we..."

"It's okay! It's okay~~", Danxuan lay on the bed, and seemed not very interested in this topic.

Blood was still dripping from his shoulders, his breath was very weak, and his voice was as soft as cotton,
"We all have doubts about some things, and we will keep imagining things before confirming the authenticity.

I used to be like that too.

When being doubted, there is no need to defend too much, time will prove everything, because reality is reality after all!No matter how it is covered up, it is an unchanging fact!
Just like the past of that orc, and everything you just learned in the letter, is also a fact..."

The words Danxuan said, like a thin needle, were inserted into the most hidden place in Chen Zhi's heart. Chen Zhi couldn't help shaking, then looked at Danxuan, and continued,

"Master, that orc disrespected you just now, how are you going to deal with that monkey?

My opinion is that since it's wild and hard to find, it's better to..."

"You mean, he got rid of it, right? And in my name!",
Danxuan leaned on the pillow, staring at the ceiling above his head,
"I have no right to judge for you, but I think that you say he is a sinner, but I don't think it is complete.

I think we are all guilty.

We failed it first, so it will commit crimes, this is cause and effect!It is also what you call retribution! "

"Master", Chen Zhi approached Danxuan and said softly:
"Forgive my disrespect,

But with all due respect, you are an eminent monk, you have a bright future, and there are many things waiting for you to do in this world.

Don't be obsessed with these little things, and don't need to work hard on this orc,
If it can be educated, it is naturally good. If it cannot be educated, I will send it where it should go.

We all know that it bears a lot of human lives, no matter how I execute it, it will not be regarded as wronging it!

But you are different, if you have any accident, we cannot bear such responsibility! "

"Hehe~~", Danxuan laughed suddenly,
"No wonder that monkey said that humans are hypocritical!
Patriarch Chen, even with your status, it is difficult to escape the ranks, and you also look down on orcs.

You once said that all living beings are equal, so in your heart, you also think that this sentence is just a saying! "

"..." Facing Danxuan's questioning, Chen Zhi was suddenly at a loss for words, unable to say anything.The myriad of thoughts that had been worrying in my heart surged up all at once, pricking his heart like steel needles.

But Danxuan coughed slightly:
"There are all kinds of spirits in this world, and all kinds of things have their own creations.

Human beings have been lucky for a while and have manipulated the dominion, just like the gods did in the past.

But people will make mistakes, and gods will also make mistakes, but they can all have a chance to save them. Doesn’t that lowly beast have such a right?
You thought I was civilizing it, but I thought it was civilizing me, giving me a chance to redeem myself.

And I hope not only to atone for my own sins, but also for yours.

Patriarch Chen, I think you should know what your ancestors and your Xiqi did to the orcs in the Western Regions, right? "

After hearing this sentence, Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously touched the letter in the white treasure bag, recalling that Danxuan probably never had the chance to encounter this letter.

"Master, what do you mean?
Have you...have you read my letter?"

"Hehe~~",
After hearing this, Danxuan smiled lightly:
"You don't need to look, I know what's written on it.

The secrets of this world are like floating clouds, which seem to be fickle, but they are actually there, and you can't cover them up even if you try to cover them up.

What happened 1300 years ago, God knows, Buddha knows, and I know..."

After Danxuan finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, and gasped slowly, the severe pain made him sweat profusely again.

"Master!" Chen Zhi frowned, and looked outside the iron gate vigilantly.

I saw that the iron gate was still tightly closed, outside Chen Zhi and Pang Wei were teaching the monkey a lesson, and the sound of kicking and beating came through the iron gate continuously.

But the monkey was very stubborn and didn't cry out.

At this moment, Chen Zhi approached Danxuan's ear, lowered his voice, and said very seriously.

"Master, since you have made it clear, I don't want to hide it anymore.

It is true that Xiqi and this beastman bloodline have a bad relationship, but what we are doing now is to look forward~~,

Perhaps for some other reason, Xiqi did not abide by the agreement between Jiang Shang and Dou Shengfo, and exterminated the orc.

Maybe the monkey outside is the last survivor of this bloodline!
But you have to know that these things have been in the past for a long time, and it is meaningless to bring them up now, except to cause unnecessary fighting.

I know what you mean, it's not fair to the orcs!
But you should understand that the word fairness itself is a relative concept!
I will not go back to Xiqi to check the authenticity of this matter, because I can completely understand what the leader of Xiqi did at that time.

Our Xiqi has been able to maintain until now, not only because of strength, many reasons are due to the delicate relationship with those in power.

Buddhism had just been introduced to the Central Plains at that time, and its meaning was no longer a religion, but a tool of political rule.

Buddhism forbids human's seven emotions and six desires, and the absurd behavior of fighting against Buddha at that time involved the royal regime and the prestige of Buddhism.

However, if an identity like a beastman in the Western Regions suddenly appeared in the land of China, it would be nothing more than a slap in the face of Buddhism. It would be difficult to realize the rule of the Tang Dynasty royal family and the spread of Buddhism at that time!

So this kind of sacrifice can be said to be a trade-off sacrifice! "
