Chapter 377: My Way of Living

"Don't!" Ben Qian shouted hoarsely, desperately beating the Holy Lord Solomon who was holding her, and Xiao Ji and Po Ya also rushed to their side.

Xiao Ji's eyes were stunned, he couldn't believe that the majestic Holy Lord Solomon, whom he swore allegiance to the death, would be attacked by others, but the Holy Lord's eyes were still so gentle.

Po Ya stepped forward to support Ben Qian, and Ben Qian hugged Po Ya and cried bitterly.

"That's my mother!" Ben Qian seemed to still be attached to the last reluctant look of the woman in black.

"It's your mother. Po Ya said softly, and her dry voice also had a hint of moisturization.

"Why did she abandon me! I am her daughter! I would rather go to the Demon Heaven with her to be a demon forever!" Ben Qian broke down emotionally, and her shoulders on Po Ya's body kept shaking.

Po Ya was speechless, and gently patted Ben Qian's shoulder, although she knew that the Holy Mother had a hard time, it was also a fact that she abandoned Ben Qian.

The Holy Lord turned his head and looked at the place where the Demon Heaven Gate had disappeared.

The moon seemed to be unable to bear to see this human tragedy, and secretly dived into the depths of the black clouds.

After a long time, Ben Qian's emotions slowly calmed down, and she also looked at the place where the Demon Heaven Gate disappeared, and then turned to the Holy Lord, her eyes were resolute, and said, "I want to return to Yifeng!"

The Holy Lord turned around, he was shrouded in black mist, but his eyes still glowed red, and after flickering a few times, he said slowly: "Okay, you go and get Yifeng back, I have already made this matter clear to you in detail, and this is also for your mother's ······"

"I'm not going to force Yifeng to do anything, I don't want to be an orphan anymore, I'm going to find my own harbor. Ben Qian interrupted the Holy Lord's words, and her voice was firm.

Po Ya glanced at the Holy Lord and said, "Prince, I'll follow Qian'er!"

"No—"

"Don't be willful!" the Holy Lord scolded angrily before Ben Qian could finish speaking.

Ben Qian was stunned for a moment, after seeing him, this was the first time he was angry with her, and the Holy Lord seemed to be aware of his gaffe, he was originally a high-ranking person, accustomed to a majestic tone, and it was difficult to change it for a while, and it was the concern that was chaotic.

He paused for a moment and said slowly: "Don't be willful, she can also be regarded as your aunt, and she doesn't live long, let her accompany you for the last time." ”

Ben Qian looked at Po Ya, and indeed found that she had aged a lot these days, Ben Qian was kind in nature, and she couldn't bear it.

Po Ya looked at Ben Qian's eyes, smiled reluctantly, shook her head, and said, "Qian'er, don't worry about me, haven't you experienced the first monk tribulation? ”

She paused and said, "I'll tell you more about your mother." ”

Ben Qian's eyes lit up for a moment, and then returned to normal.

Po Ya glanced at the Holy Lord, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, a woman is too dependent on one person, which is not a correct way to live. ”

The Holy Lord's eyes flickered sharply a few times, but he didn't scold anything and turned his head away. If there is anyone in this world who can blame him, except for Ben Qian, there is only Po Ya.

Ben Qian looked at Po Ya, nodded, and said lightly: "I know, but this is my way of living." ”

After saying that, he turned around without looking back and flew into the distance.

Xiao Ji looked at Ben Qian's distant figure and said to Po Yayouyou: "We succeeded, and we also failed." ”

Po Ya was speechless, her figure moved, and chased after Ben Qian.

Xiao Ji stood beside the Holy Lord, and after a while, the Holy Lord said in a deep voice: "According to the news, Yifeng is now in Yunzhou, and you and Yu Luo gathered 10,000 disciples and demon slaves in the western part of Junzhou and the northern part of Yunzhou, followed them from a distance, and moved with their cameras. ”

"Yes. Xiao Ji replied.

······

Snow, flying all over the sky.

Fluttering snow, covering Qingping Town, the eaves have fallen a thick layer, in the city, gray eaves, white snow, layers of staggered landing extended into the distance, the sky is also gray, but the merchants in the city have recovered a lot, some shops because of the cold and gloomy weather and lit up orange lanterns, it looks warm.

When Yifeng saw these lanterns, he remembered the blessing lantern festival at Nanzong Temple, how lively and peaceful it was, and how prosperous Nanzong Temple was, and now it was burned to ashes.

The number of people on the streets of Qingping Town began to increase again, children were scurrying around, laughing and playing, and smoke rose from many courtyards, swimming against the current in the heavy snow.

Standing on the top of the tower, Yifeng turned his head and looked out of the city, where there was also a heavy snowfall.

The former battlefield outside the city has become a snow-white glass world, clean and crystalline, like a new heaven and earth, but below, there is condensed purple blood, incinerated bones, and countless unjust souls.

This was the first time that Buddhist monks had seen so many corpses, and it was also the first time that so many corpses had been disposed of, and there was a great deal of controversy when deciding whether or not to cremate them.

The last wind suggested that among the dead Buddhist monks, there were brothers and sisters, and they should be confidently disposed of, the corpses that were not carried back by the legionnaires should be buried in a centralized manner, and all the remaining Buddhist and monk corpses should be cremated and incinerated.

This also takes care of the hearts of many people, and it is a reasonable way to do it.

It's just that Yifeng didn't expect that almost all of the corpses handed over to their brothers and sisters decided to be cremated together with the remaining Buddhist monks' corpses, so that all the Buddhist monks in this battle were burned to ashes with fire oil and firewood.

This is not an ordinary thing, this incident is one of the "eight felonies" of Buddhism and Taoism mentioned by Cui Ming, and finally scattered in various places and corners of the Dawu Kingdom, in their opinion, it is an evil practice of disrespecting the dead.

Now all the Buddhist monks have decided to incinerate the corpses, which means that they are not afraid of the so-called condemnation of the imperial court, and they also contain the belief behind the burial system initiated by Buddhism - since the Buddha and the arhats have been cremated, their bodies are like skins, and their essence is soul and spirit.

This battle seems to be a big wave of sand, and the remaining Buddhist monks are all people with strong beliefs in Buddhism, and they are the hope of Buddhism in the future.

Yifeng's thoughts drifted along with the heavy snow, and at this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps behind him.

"It's snowing!"

He looked back and saw that it was a fire monkey that had flown up to the top of the castle tower at some point, carrying a gourd and walking towards him.

Yifeng couldn't help but wonder, this second senior brother, no matter where he was, he could find wine to drink, he shook his head and said: "Second senior brother, you look like this, when you return to Qingshan Temple, I am afraid that you will be scolded by your uncle and ancestor!"

The fire monkey laughed as he walked: "What are you afraid of, now Uncle Guangchen can't beat me, although I don't dare to hit him, he will always run, right?"

Yifeng said: "You and Senior Brother haven't seen each other for a long time, don't accompany him much, what are you running around?"

The fire monkey smiled: "Forget it, senior brother's stubborn temperament, how can he let me drink with peace of mind, I take a sip, he can recite a hundred sentences in pieces, and he won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Saying that, he walked to Yifeng, tore the gourd mouth open, took a big sip, and then pushed it to Yifeng, Yifeng shook his head, and the fire monkey scolded with a smile when he saw this: "Don't pretend to be simple and well-behaved anymore, you are not a little junior brother since childhood, now you are the leader of an army, who to pretend!"

As a last resort, I took a sip of it, a faint aroma of wine wrapped around the tip of the tongue, and it didn't burn my mouth, I just felt cool and smooth, it should be the best vegetarian wine that the fire monkey didn't know from now, so I took another sip.

The fire monkey smiled: "I say, it's still pretending!"

"Why are you here?" Yifeng took another sip and pushed the gourd to the fire monkey.

The fire monkey smiled: "It's not that the senior brother is worried about you, saying that he is afraid that you will freeze, originally asked me to send a cloak over, I said that you can just drink two sips of wine, and then before he can scold, I will slip away, haha." ”

Yifeng also smiled and asked, "Is Senior Brother okay now?"

The fire monkey nodded and said: "I was really afraid that he would be frightened before, so many people died in front of him, no matter who he was, he would have to be scared out of illness, not to mention that the senior brother has been cultivating Buddhism in Qingshan Temple, and the impact on him will be even greater, I am really a little worried." However, things are not as bad as I thought, and he seems to have thought about it, and he quite understands you. ”

Yifeng also nodded and said: "It seems that Yan Yinshan is right, focusing on training after the war can greatly gather people's hearts, let them know that the direction of the sword is the direction of justice, and it can also make the division famous, boost the morale of the army, and with the call and direction, they will no longer be afraid of the cruel suppression and massacre of the imperial court." ”

"Hmm. The fire monkey took a sip of wine, looked up at the heavy snow, and said slowly: "It is very important for the teacher to be famous, I had to tell the name when I was young when I fought with others in Qingping Town!"

"Your words are a heart-strengthening pill for today's Buddhism, presumably the words you say while standing on the city wall will spread throughout the mountains and rivers of the Great Wu Kingdom, and inspire more Buddhists who are struggling to support in the Buddhism War!"
