Chapter 155: The Cause Ten Years Ago
The hoarse voice was full of guilt, as if he thought of something very painful and sinful, and Master Duzen's throat actually made a choked sound.
"Ten years ago, there was a very strange night, thunder and lightning and dark clouds in the sky, but not even a drop of rain fell. It was a drought that year, and everyone was very happy on the night when the thunder and lightning appeared, but unexpectedly, the whole night was just thunder and lightning, and not even a drop of rain fell."
Sighing slightly, Master Duzen's eyes were still reluctant to open, and he struggled for a long time before he continued: "Female donor, you guessed right, this Buddhist temple in charge of Lao Qu was once the most vigorous Buddhist temple in the imperial capital, and on the night of thunder and lightning, there happened to be a noble female dependant in the imperial capital in the Buddhist temple, Lao Ge never expected that this Buddhist temple built in the suburbs would be struck by lightning at that time, although there were no casualties, but there was still a fire in the temple."
Lan De and Lan Xun glanced at each other, both of them were confused by the second monk, why did they suddenly have something to do with the fire.
"And then?" A hint of realization appeared in Mo Kongjing's deep pupils, the reason why those ghost babies looked scorched black was because they were all burned to death by the fire.
One can imagine how cruel and terrifying the scene was, as the babies were burned alive.
Caught off guard, Master Duzen's tightly closed eyes began to flow endless tears, one drop after another.
I don't know how long it flowed, until there was even a faint red glow on his face. He said in a hoarse voice: "At that time, the ladies in the temple were all panicked, so the old man sent many monks to appease them, this place is too far from the imperial capital. In the end, there was no way for the old man to escort them back to the imperial capital at the risk of being struck by lightning. ”
"But because of this, because of the noise of those panicked women, there was no manpower to put out the fire, and those children, those children whom we did not know, were burned alive in the firewood room!" Tears slowly flowed from Master Duzen's face, and his tone was full of grief and deep guilt.
The speed of the Buddha beads in his hand was getting faster and faster, and Master Duzen's tone was getting faster and faster, "Those bandits who have lost their conscience actually buy and sell young children in private. The old man never dreamed that they would hide those young children in the most inconspicuous firewood room in the Buddhist temple! The children, the oldest of those children, were only five years old! They had just been born and were about to suffer such a catastrophe! ”
As soon as these words came out, Lan Xun and Lan De immediately gasped, imagining the scene in their minds. Dozens of young children were crying and crying in the fire, but no one came to save them, and they couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle just thinking about the tragic scene. Grief and indignation.
"So wait until you have put out the fire completely. Only then did I find the orphans of the children in the firewood house. Because of the firewood in the firewood room, the fire burned almost at one point, and the fire was so big that it was uncontrollable, and none of the young children were spared, and even the firewood room was burned and collapsed, right? Stopping coldly, Mo Kongjing looked at Master Duzen lightly.
Facing those fierce eyes, Master Du Chan finally opened his wise eyes and sighed gently, he was still a mortal after all. Otherwise, how could he be afraid of those female relatives of the nobles of the imperial capital who did not send someone to put out the fire for a long time, after all, it was all his iniquity.
"Alas, because of the presence of the noble ladies of the imperial capital, everyone who made trouble in the imperial capital knew about it. Over time, naturally, no one dared to come to this Buddhist temple again. Dozens of babies and children were burned by the fire overnight, and the old man still remembers the scene at that time, which is unbearable! ”
There were tears in his eyes, and the blood-red color looked even more terrifying and cold under the light of the hazy moonlight.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the timid Lan De's face struggled for a moment, and when the other three were all thoughtful, he boldly said, "Because the incense is broken, so you dismissed the monks in the temple, Master?" ”
Shaking his head bitterly, Master Du Chan spit out to them without the slightest hesitation, "This is just one of the reasons, and the more important thing is that the holy land of Buddhism has long been polluted by earth-shattering resentment, and even the old man can't be tempered, so the monks in the temple will be poisoned, and the old man can only dismiss them and leave them alone to face the consequences." ”
"If my guess is correct, then the resentful spirits here can't even be curtailed by the master, and they have suffered a lot, right?" Raising his eyebrows, Mo Kongjing suddenly looked back, and there was already a plan in those eyes that shimmered in the night.
"Amitabha Buddha donor Huigen, if it was ten years ago, the old man wanted to accept the donor as a disciple, if he practiced hard, he would definitely be able to achieve enlightenment in the future." Master Duzen's tone couldn't help but feel regretful, and his eyes were a little sloppy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Hearing this, Lan Xun and Lan De were suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and the two hurriedly blocked in front of Mo Kongjing, afraid that this master would really take his aunt away if he couldn't think about it.
Speechlessly, he pushed away the two small bodies in front of him, Mo Kongjing arched his hand and said: "I have thanked the master for his kindness, but the Tao is not the same, the master is not me, how do you know that your enlightenment is the way I want?" ”
Those dim pupils stared at her for a long time, and Master Du Chan finally sighed leisurely, handed the staff in his hand to Lan Xun and saluted him.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Master Du Chan slowly lifted his sleeves, and suddenly the arm that people couldn't bear to look at was exposed in front of several people.
Master Duzen's arms are different from normal people, and the so-called difference does not refer to anything else, but to the fact that his arms are as if they have been bitten by something, and all the east and west are newly grown flesh. The new meat and the old meat are criss-crossed, and at first glance there is really a feeling of looking at a monster, which makes people feel uncomfortable all over the body.
Master Du Chan smiled bitterly, and seeing the different expressions of the three of them, he slowly pulled down his sleeves, "Ten years ago, Lao Gao really wanted to overdo them, but unfortunately Lao Gao had failed ten years ago. In the past ten years, the old man has eaten and slept in the open air, traveled a long distance through a lot of hardships, and has seen many talented people, but until now, the old man has not found anyone who can truly transform them."
"Alas" sighed with regret, the face that had been dry gradually flashed with tears, knowing that it was rude, Master Du Chan said 'Amitabha' and turned his body around.
Lan Xun and Lan De stared at Mo Kongjing for a moment, and then set their eyes on Mo Kongjing in unison.
