Starting from Uncle Nine

Chapter 160 My Reason

"Ha! Did you finally know how to stand up? I thought you were going to watch your good sister be burned to death!"

Peony ignored her aunt's cynicism, prostrated herself on the ground, grabbed the ground with her head, and bled from her forehead: "Auntie, everything is my fault, let the green bamboo go! You can punish me however you want!"

Looking down at Mudan, the aunt sighed. Apart from Shaoyao, Mudan was her most beloved disciple, but she dared to openly disobey her orders!
The aunt ignored Mudan, but turned her attention to Jiao Jie.

"You little Taoist priest, let me ask you now, are you willing to marry Peony?"

Jiao Jie was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously said: "I don't want to."

"Uh, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that Xiaodao is devoted to seeking the Tao and has no intention of marrying a wife and having children. I hope my aunt will forgive me."

Jiao Jie really doesn't want to get married, and Jiao Jie still wants to keep his Yuanyang. After all, in this era when the handle is about to be killed by the god of river crabs, who would dare to drive?
The aunt bent down and looked at Peony crawling under her feet, and said pitifully, "Look at you, you seduced a man from the outside, but in the end, the man still doesn't want you, even the man you seduced back doesn't care to marry you, you say you What's the use of being alive? Come on! Execute her!"

Jiao Jie suddenly raised his head and looked at his aunt in disbelief. This is completely out of the plot!

"Auntie! If I am willing to marry Peony, will Peony not have to die?" Jiao Jie asked anxiously.

The aunt looked at Jiao Jie, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "This man is cheap. He gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it! Want to marry now? It's too late!"

The aunt's voice was sharp: "If you want to marry, you can marry, if you don't want to marry, then don't. What do you think I am a fairy in the Ten Thousand Flowers Forest?"

"Xiao Dao never meant that! After all, this matter started because of Xiao Dao, Xiao Dao can't stay out of it, please be flexible, aunt!" After saying that, Jiao Jie bowed deeply and looked at his aunt earnestly.

Aunt suddenly laughed, and looked at Jiao Jie with a smile: "Do you really want to save Mudan?"

Jiao Jie looked at his aunt smiling like a flower, and cursed in his heart that this aunt is really a monster, laughing for a while, angry for a while, her personality is unpredictable and ever-changing, without any sign at all.

"Yes! After all, this matter was caused by Xiaodao, and Xiaodao is duty-bound." Jiao Jie said firmly.

"Okay! Then you go to die!"

Jiao Jie was taken aback, as if he didn't hear clearly: "Huh?"

"What? Didn't hear you clearly? I mean, since you want to save Mudan, you should die!"

Seeing the change in Jiao Jie's expression, my aunt sneered and said, "This is a man! He kept saying he wanted to save people, but what happened? Heh, heh."

"But didn't you just need to get married?" Jiao Jie said.

"That's right, just now it is true that as long as you marry Peony, Peony can live, but you refused, and just now, now, now, between you and Mudan, only one can survive! "

"One?"

Jiao Jie's expression changed.

Seeing Jiao Jie's extremely ugly face, my aunt smiled and sneered again and again. My aunt looked around and said loudly: "You have all seen it! This is a man! Hypocrisy! Disgusting! Disgusting man! You actually believe in men? Is it worth trusting a man’s words? A man is”

Jiao Jie raised his head and suddenly interrupted his aunt: "Aunt, if I say let Peony live, will you really keep your promise?"

"ga"

The aunt looked embarrassed and looked at Jiao Jie in disbelief. She had no idea that Jiao Jie was really willing to die for Peony.

"You really want it! You have only known Mudan for an hour, and you haven't even spoken a few words. Are you sure you want to die for her?"

At this time, Jiao Jie is no longer afraid of his aunt. Anyway, stretching out his head is a stab, and retracting his head is also a stab. He is always going to die, so he is afraid of a bird?

Jiao Jie smiled lightly, his voice choked up slightly: "My master once told me, wouldn't it be nice to die for the Tao!"

"I, Jiao Jie, am not a good person. I have killed people, even the innocent and weak. My master said that the strong make the stronger with the sword. I failed to do this."

"But my master said that everyone should have their own reason. My reason is to have a clear conscience. This is my reason. My master said that Tao is my own reason. My reason may not agree with you. , but this is my way."

"I can slaughter thousands of people for my own selfish desires, and I will sacrifice myself to save one person. This is my way. For my way, martyrdom, joy, beauty!"

Jiao Jie didn't say any great truths, didn't say that he didn't want others to sacrifice for himself, and he didn't say anything like sacrificing himself to save lives, nonsense, nonsense.

Jiao Jie just said a truth, a truth that belongs to him, I think it is worth it, it is worth it, even if he dies, it is also worth it.

Because Jiao Jie felt that he couldn't let a woman die in front of him. I'm still a man, even if I practice Taoism, I'm still a man. How could I let a woman die in front of me?

I am the one who wants to enter this wall painting. I am an adult, I have made my own decision, and I must have the ability to bear it. I, Jiao Jie, can't make a woman pay for her own consequences.

The aunt fixedly looked at Jiao Jie, and asked back, "Do you want to die?"

Jiao Jie smiled: "Yes, I want to die. As long as you can make Peony live, I will die. It doesn't matter whether you want to burn me or kill me with one knife."

Auntie sneered and said, "You want to die? Well, I will help you!" After finishing speaking, Auntie flicked her sleeves, and Jiao Jie's whole body was torn apart like shredded paper.

The aunt looked down at Mudan from above, and said coldly: "You can survive!"

Painting outside the wall.

Monk Fudo came out from the back hall with a smile: "Come on, come on, eat some noodles, try it, it smells good or not."

Meng Longtan took the noodles, and unceremoniously took a large amount of noodles and "sucked" them into his mouth.

"Yeah! It's delicious!"

Monk Fudo smiled and said: "You can eat more if it's delicious, I still have something to do, so I'll go first!" Monk Fudong looked at Zhu Xiaolian calmly, turned and left.

Hou Xia is Zhu Xiaolian's book boy, so he naturally picked up the noodle bowl and walked towards Zhu Xiaolian.

"Young Master, Young Master, I ate noodles, Young Master, they are delicious!"

Zhu Xiaolian came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. He stared blankly at Houxia for a moment, his expression changed drastically, as if he remembered something, he asked anxiously, "Where is Daoist Jiao? Where is Daoist Jiao?"

Hou Xia rubbed the back of his head inexplicably: "Jiao Daochang? What Jiao Daochang? Young Master, what are you talking about?"

Zhu Xiaolian looked anxious: "It's Daoist Jiao who came with us! Jiao Jie! How can you not remember?"

Zhu Xiaolian jumped up and down anxiously, why did Jiao Jie disappear when he came back?
Zhu Xiaolian stepped forward and questioned Meng Longtan: "Where's Jiao Jie? Where's Jiao Daoist?"

Meng Longtan said impatiently: "What Jiao Jie? What Jiao Daoist? Are you crazy? What are you talking about?"

"It's Daoist Jiao who came with us, and Jiao Jie who chased and killed you together!"

Meng Longtan gave Zhu Xiaolian a hard look, turned around and concentrated on eating noodles, and didn't want to talk to him anymore, and at the same time muttered: "Crazy! What is Jiao Jie? Daoist Jiao? Isn't it just you two, master and servant, who are chasing me? How can there be other things?" people?"

Meng Longtan had been hungry for more than a day, and finally had something to eat, so he cleared his bowl of noodles in two or three mouthfuls. Seeing that Zhu Xiaolian was in a daze, he simply brought Zhu Xiaolian's bowl of noodles and ate it.

"Hey hey, what are you doing? This is my noodles!"

Meng Longtan's eyes widened, showing murderous aura: "Go away, you little bastard! What's yours and mine? If it's in my hands, it's mine! Don't disturb me for dinner, do you hear me? Be careful I beat you!"

Zhu Xiaolian accidentally saw a picture painted on the wall on the other side of the temple. Zhu Xiaolian walked over to take a look, and his expression changed drastically.

The mural depicts a young Taoist priest with his limbs bound and four iron chains binding the Taoist priest in the raging fire.

"This is a map of hell, my lord."

Hou Xia's voice is a little weak, this temple is in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is dilapidated, don't be dirty!
"Young master is going to Beijing to take an examination for fame, don't be harmed by dirty things!" Hou Xia was extremely anxious, but he dared not speak.

Looking at the young Taoist priest on the mural, Zhu Xiaolian murmured to himself: "That's right, it's him! Jiao Jie! Jiao Daoist! It's him!"

Zhu Xiaolian suddenly realized that he had entered that unimaginable space through a door. Zhu Xiaolian woke up like a dream, groped the wall with both hands, and murmured at the same time: "Where is the door? Where is the door? Where is the door? Why is the door missing?" gone?"

At this moment, Monk Fudo came out from the back hall, Zhu Xiaolian seemed to see a savior, rushed over, and grabbed Monk Fudo's arm: "Master, where is the door? Where was the door just now?"

Monk Fudo looked at Zhu Xiaolian blankly.

Zhu Xiaolian explained: "It's just how to get back to that place just now."

Monk Fudo asked back, "Where?"

"That's right. It's a place with a lot of women!"

Zhu Xiaolian's words were not astonishing, and Meng Longtan, who was eating noodles with his head bowed, was startled by one sentence.

"Are there a lot of women? Isn't that heaven?" Meng Longtan, who was eating noodles with his head down, interjected in a hurry.

Hou Xia was also a little embarrassed, holding up the bowl: "My lord, are you dizzy from hunger? Why don't you eat a small meal first?"

Monk Fudo smiled and said, "You must be starving and dizzy."

"I didn't faint from hunger! What I said is true!"

Zhu Xiaolian saw that everyone didn't believe him, but Zhu Xiaolian firmly believed that Monk Fudo is mysterious and unpredictable, and must have a way to re-enter!

Zhu Xiaolian simply pushed the golden mountain, turned down the jade pillar, and knelt down to the Fudong monk.

"Master! I beg you! Daoist Jiao Jie who is with me, in order to save me, is imprisoned, I must go back to save him! Please, Master!" Zhu Xiaolian grabbed the ground with his head and gave it to the immovable monk. Knocked a few times.
