Five Hundred and Seven, Pitiful and Hateful [Second Watch]
Repentance is not a pure monk.
When he was young, his background was not low, and his family was one of the top eunuchs in the Yuan Ke Kingdom. When he was young, the only requirement he had from his lay family was to grow up as much as possible and inherit the family business.
"I've known the situation at home for as long as I can remember. The requirements at home are strict, almost to the point of rigidity, and what I see and learn is mostly the etiquette and behavior in the palace, and I just hope to be able to enter the palace in the future. ”
The voice of repentance was very faint, and it suddenly pulled Nuomi back to the dynasty a few decades ago.
At that time, the Yuan Ke Kingdom was not even as good as the Tianwu Kingdom today. There are hardly many cultivators in the whole country. Although the monarch admires the way of heaven and longs for immortality, he does not have the roots and qualifications.
In order to be able to obtain immortality, the monarch tried all kinds of methods, including using the money in the treasury to buy pills.
However, where can the value of the elixir refined by immortal cultivators be measured by secular gold and silver. Except for those monks who are so downtrodden that they already have to think about their juniors, what cultivator will covet that little bit of gold and silver. If it's just some pills to strengthen the body, it's better to say something, but when it comes to pills that increase longevity, it's not so easy to refine.
Therefore, although the monarch searched for pills, he could only make the treasury empty for many years, and in the end he still died.
In the year when the new king ascended the throne, he repented and was ten years old. And the new king is even younger than repentant.
Facing the mess left by the previous king, the new king is a child, no matter how smart he is, there is really no way. He needs to face the palace concubines who want to seek power and usurp the throne at the back, and he has to take care of all kinds of court in front of him. In the view of repentance. The new king, who had ascended the throne, had done a very good job. It's just that, but it's not enough.
When he entered the palace, the new king was sick and lying on the ground, and no one really cared for his life.
Repentance always remembered the child who was younger than him, dressed in a grand manner. Pale face.
The two teenagers worked hard for a country, and they even won three gold medals to avoid death at that time, and the power of their family was almost to the point of reaching the sky because of the new king's dependence.
When the power of their family reached its peak, repentance stopped the rebellion in the family, but it could not stop the decree issued by the new king.
Indeed, the new king did not kill him. Those three death-free gold medals, he originally wanted to save people, but he was only driven out of Yuan Keguo.
Ironically, when he was driven out of the Yuan Ke Kingdom, he wandered all the way. Only then did I realize that the world outside was so vast. He was born with a spiritual root and was able to cultivate. The pills that the country had asked for in the treasury at the beginning were not so precious in the hands of immortal cultivators.
He returned to the Yuan Ke country with his strength and turned the Yuan Ke country upside down. The soldiers outside were nothing to him, and he rushed straight into the palace. Nail his former friend and father-killer to the throne with a flying sword.
He also knew all the dirty things that Tajah had planned at the beginning. However, whatever the reason. It is impossible for him to ignore the murder of his father and his enemies. He was angry that this friend couldn't look at his face, and gave his family a chance, and even the three gold medals for avoiding death were invalidated.
But after he killed this childhood friend, he found out that the noble concubine of this country was his sister.
His sister is the kindest one in the family, she was pregnant at the beginning, and now she has been admitted to the harem and gave birth to a child. That child is now the crown prince of Yuan Ke.
The two are worthy of being friends who have known each other for many years, and the new king is connected with the object he wants to keep. They all know it clearly, and even plan to send this country into their hands.
He had long known that his friend was disheartened by the Wang family, but he never thought that the new king would use such a method. came to repay the qiē he had done, and at the same time broke free from the shackles of the Wang family.
Looking at the blood of his friend, he realized that he had left that small country.
"I don't know how much I've walked. After knowing that his nephew became the king, he had no attachment to this red dust, and then he became a monk. However, this matter is not over yet. I don't know if there is any treasure in that palace, or if my friend took some pill when he was young, and his soul condensed and turned into a demon, harming people everywhere. ”
Repentance sighed, and his expression was in a trance.
To this day, he did not want to believe that the king had ended up like this.
At the beginning, the old king of Yuan Keguo had searched for pills, and he didn't know if he had used anything for the new king, who was still the prince, but now he has turned into a monster.
When I saw the monster with my friend's face for the first time, I was so shocked by repentance that I could barely stand.
He was sent by the master to remove the demon at that time, but he was shocked by that face, and stood in place in a daze, watching the monster tear his fellow brothers into pieces. When the monster turned to him, it hesitated for a moment, and then fled from front of him, leaving him alone to survive, still stained with the blood of his fellow brothers.
He was spared at the beginning, and now he is spared again.
In this way, he really owes the other party two lives.
If it was the friend he knew, he would never want to be what he is now.
Since then, Repentance has been walking around and becoming a monk. He only hoped to find the monster, and this time, he would never be relentless.
"He was a soft-hearted man when he was young, and he was never willing to hurt a palace maid and eunuch. Later, above the court, he always thought about the benefits of each person. If it weren't for my family's forced palace, he wouldn't have a grudge now, I think, he would definitely not want to do such a thing. Rather than leaving him to live in the world like this, it is better for me to solve it with my own hands. ”
Nuomi had been quietly listening to the story of repentance beside her, and when she heard it, she even felt that her eyes were slightly hot.
It's just that a cultivator was originally going to be cold-hearted, and she quickly suppressed that feeling again.
Only then did she know that this monster came from outside, probably because she was attracted by the blood pool, and thought it was a good place to increase her skills, so she quietly occupied it.
Before the repentance came, she had never thought that such a sinister monster also had a past. It's just that, looking at Repentance's pale face, she knew that Repentance was already determined to surrender that monster.
Glutinous rice opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say at all.
Repentance probably came from seeing her face, and suddenly laughed, and said, "Little donor, are you worried?" You can rest assured. I'm the one who knows my friend best. If I could, I would naturally like to be able to subdue him, chant sutras every day, cleanse him of all the fierceness in his body, and make him rebuild his physical body. It's just that this also talks about the word 'edge'. Over the years, I have followed his trail all the way, but I have always missed a step. Now that he has finally caught up, if he can't collect it, he has to be forcibly dispersed, which is better than harming people in the world every day. The poor monk has been reciting the Buddha for many years, and he has already seen it through, and the little donor does not have to worry too much. ”
"Yes?"
Glutinous rice replied in a low voice, and couldn't help biting her lip.
At this time, her heart was inexplicably shaken.
When she first faced the monster, there was a pillar standing behind her, and she was determined to die with the demon. It's just that now that she listened to the words of repentance, she was inexplicably shaken, and felt that the demon was also a little pitiful.
"Little donor, don't worry. Know that the poor must have something to hate, and the hateful person must have something to hate. Only by taking pity on those who deserve mercy and standing with an unmoving mind can we go far on the path of cultivation. Don't be too soft, so that the demons have a chance to take advantage of it. Repentance said a word beside him, and looked down at the scripture in his hand.
Nuomi listened to the words of repentance in a daze, put the words in her heart and pondered them carefully, only to feel that the more she thought about it, the more she became in a trance.
In this world, there is really no such simplicity, black and white. Everyone came to her and looked different. What she saw was, after all, only one side of the story.
"What you see is believing, and what you hear is true." It's not true. It's just that among the three thousand worlds, there are countless phantoms, and only what you see in front of you is the world you should have. If you think too much, you will fall into vain. As long as the faith in the heart is strong, there is nothing to fear. ”
"Think twice before acting is beneficial, and thinking three thousand times before acting is harmful. Everything should be done within one's ability, and only in moderation should not be overdone. Otherwise, even if you have a bodhisattva-like heart, you will be pregnant with misfortune. ”
When the glutinous rice reacted, it was found that a long time had passed.
I don't know when the repentance began, but he had already left, and at this time he was sitting on the side, meditating silently, his mouth motionless, as if he had settled down.
Nuomi blinked, remembering the words that he had just said in repentance, and couldn't help but be stunned again.
In fact, she understands the truth contained in those words. It's just that sometimes when you act, you can't help but think a little more. She always felt that it was a good thing to think too much, but now she realized that thinking too much may not be really good. It's like falling into a phantom array, thinking too much about it, and you will only be trapped in it.
"Alas. Senior brother, you said that this cultivation journey is so difficult. No matter how firm the Dao heart is, it will inevitably encounter various situations. Tell me that it is better to go back to the countryside and buy a few acres of thin fields, and live a stable life. Glutinous rice sighed, leaned against the pillar and stretched out.
However, she also knew that this was impossible.
has embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, this is the fate of immortals. is tired for a while, and this road is destined to go for a lifetime.
