Chapter 6 The road is high
In the cell inside the county jail, there was already a slight snoring sound. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Inside the cell, there was only the footsteps of two jailers patrolling back and forth.
The jailer fiddled with the bars of the iron prison with his killing rod, and made a loud noise, complaining: "These people who eat lawsuits are asleep like dead pigs." I'm going to let us be on duty! ”
"Why don't you go in too?" Another jailer laughed.
The two of them made rounds and then went back to the duty room and dozed off.
At this moment, in one of the westernmost cells, Yuanding, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and winked at several other monks. Several of the other monks nodded slightly.
Yuan Ding stretched out his hand under the cover that he took back in the temple, and slowly took out a short axe, which looked cold under the moonlight!
The other monks also took out long and short cutting tools from the bedding. These dagger blades are all hidden in this bed.
Yuan Ding said in a low voice, "Now that we are being imprisoned here, we will probably die." Why don't we rush out! The jailers were already very drunk. There are only two left......"
A stout monk next to him nodded, "Presiding, if we make such a big mistake, the magistrate will not spare us." We will first kill this county prison, and then cut down the county magistrate who has plagued us, and everyone will scatter and flee for their lives. ”
A few people have already made up their minds. The stout monk suddenly shouted at the jailer, "Poor master, my stomach hurts a lot, I guess I caught a cold just now." ”
The jailer said impatiently, "In the middle of the night, what is the fuss, isn't there a commode next to it?" ”
The monk shouted again, "Master, my head is also a little hot, you read the gold and silver before us, and help me buy the medicine." ”
The jailer didn't know what to do, and shouted: "As far as you are the most verbose, come, Uncle Ben will come to show you what is wrong?" The jailer's head was just close to the iron pillar of the cell, but he saw the monk's eyes show a fierce light, and with a flick of his arm, a cold light pierced the short axe into the jailer's skull.
Before the jailer could say a word, he fell to the ground. Soon, the key on his waist was picked up by the evil monk, who opened the door and rushed out.
One of the remaining jailers was about to resist, but was outnumbered and was knocked to the ground by four or five evil monks.
Then, a dozen monks from the prison escaped.
Yuanding's eyes showed a fierce light: "Everyone, let's go to the Zhixian Yamen and split the Zhixian County, and then everyone will flee for their lives." ”
A few people took advantage of the situation to chop melons and vegetables for another meal of the jailers who were drunk on the table. The jailers, drunk and carrying heavy gold and silver, were dreaming of marrying a wife and having children, and before they could open their eyes, they had already died.
Yuan Ding and the others, their eyes were red, how could they still have the appearance of a Buddhist disciple, holding a blood-stained blade, and they were about to go out of the gate.
"Let's go, let's go and slaughter that young magistrate. Several officials have always coexisted peacefully with our Hualien Temple, but I didn't expect to be made by this kid all of a sudden, so that we didn't even have a way to live. ”
"Perhaps, this young magistrate is still sleeping with his wife in his arms, so he and the lady will be split together."
"No, the lady is going to stay and give us a few joys."
These evil monks, who had just escaped, were very proud, smiling unscrupulously.
There was a sneer at the door,
"You evil thieves, in the Buddha's gate, are even more hateful than the river and ocean thieves on the rivers and lakes!" The person who spoke was none other than Na Liu Ming.
That Liu Ming, his eyes were as black as night and his face was as heavy as water, standing in front of everyone, without the slightest fear.
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed. Yuan Ding saw Liu Ming and showed a fierce light, "Liu Zhixian, don't come to harm?" And the seven or eight wolf-like monks beside him were holding swords and slowly surrounded Liu Ming.
Several monks saw that Liu Ming had only one child by his side, and they just speculated that there was no one to be dispatched by the other party's side for the time being.
An evil monk shouted: "Master Zhixian, I heard that you have won the champion." I don't think you're a good guy. You know, we're not in prison right now, and we don't have shackles on our hands. If you are knowledgeable, you should sleep in your room with your head in your hands at this time. ”
Yuan Ding also gritted his teeth and said: "This seat has been operating Hualien Temple for decades, and it has always coexisted peacefully with the government. It is the successive governors, the prison officers, and even the transfer envoys, who have also dealt with each other. Unexpectedly, the boat capsized in the gutter, and the entire Hualien Temple foundation was defeated in the hands of you, a small magistrate. ”
Liu Ming sneered: "Foundation? You bald monks, do not abide by the rules of Buddhism, wantonly ** people's daughters, and fool the people. Is this still a foundation? My little novice friend, though he is still young, still knows how to keep the vows. Especially if you are round, seventy or eighty, and still so absurd? ”
Yuan Ding sneered: "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart." How can you judge the affairs of Buddhism? ”
"Pathetic, alas!" Fakong next to Liu Ming clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and said word by word, "To become a monk, you need to keep the five precepts." Take refuge in Buddhism, Dharma and Sangha, and live a long life without returning to the outer ways of heaven and demons. And now, killing, stealing, fornication, lying, drinking - you have all committed the five precepts, but you still dare to say that you are a disciple of Buddhism? ”
These evil monks used to be pious monks, but they were blinded by the desire for profit, and now, watching a seven or eight-year-old monk teach themselves, they are somewhat ashamed in their hearts.
Fakong's expression was extremely serious: "Monks and cultivators must cut off their lust. The Four Noble Truths say: Suffering gathers and destroys the path; The Noble Eightfold Path, "The Three Dharma Seals: Impermanence of Actions, Selflessness of Laws, and Silence ...... Nirvana"
Liu Ming was on the side, and he also listened very freely. Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false Arhats.
Fakong continued with a milky voice, "Dependent voidness. Contemplating the impurity of the body, contemplating suffering and contemplating the mind...... See...... View"
"Viewing ...... That one...... View"
After thinking for a long time, Fakong raised his head, scratched his scalp, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry everyone...... I...... Forget about it. ”
Liu Ming pinched Fakong's dimples with his hand and said, "Why did you forget?" What a terrible view."
Fakong's mouth was pinched by Liu Ming, his big eyes flickered, and his accent was deformed: "Young Master Niu, I'm a child...... It's just hard to carry so many things. ”
"Okay, that's it." Liu Ming looked at Fakong, "Kongkong, it's up to you to maintain world peace, and subdue these evil monks." ”
The two of them laughed and played here, completely ignoring the evil monks who were lying in ambush around them. Because Liu Ming completely knows that Fakong's martial arts will not be a problem at all to clean up these evil monks.
Before he could finish speaking, the evil monks pounced.
In the darkness, the blades clashed and rattled.
"Hey!"
"Hah!"
The clear sound of the law and the sky, with the sound of the fist breaking through the air, penetrated the dark night.
Those evil monks basically didn't see Fakong's moves, only to see someone rushing out of the darkness like lightning, and in an instant, their chests were tight, their wrists were sore, and they collapsed to the ground.
Several monks who were like wolves just now were constantly holding their stomachs on the ground at this moment. They didn't expect that this little bald monk had such extraordinary martial arts.
"Empty...... Stop it! Liu Ming played with his temper and shouted: "Okay, will the two of us fight the enemy together?" You're all killed now. I'm sorry for the name of our night and night.
"Darkness in the night?" Fakong sat on the stomach of an evil monk and scratched his head, "Young Master Liu, when did the two of us have such a combination?" But which one are you going to fight......
Liu Ming clenched his fists and said firmly: "I'll hit the one who was sitting under your buttocks, it's safer." ”
The big thing has been decided, and all those monks have been subdued. Liu Ming and Fakong will not mention the nonsense for the time being.
The next day, Liu Ming opened the hall early in the morning and summoned the people from all over the world to come to observe. A group of errand officers, all with serious expressions, shouted "mighty! ”
In the courtyard of the county hall, more than a dozen monks have their hands tied and are kneeling on the ground.
Master Wu held the review document in his hand, stood beside Liu Ming, and read aloud to the people who came to listen: "The evil monk Yuanding waits, the heart is sinking into the sea, and the evil fire pit. Wear the ground and forcibly invite the letter girl to empathize. Poor young stamens and new flowers, shoot the crippled butterflies; But he hated the warm fragrant nephrite and threw the final wind. Bai Lian is polluted and cannot be washed; Endure humiliation in the night, and dare to speak! treacherous, kind, dead and unforgiving; Kill the jailers, hurt the people, how can you escape from the sinful desire! ”
As soon as this article came out, all the people present were happy.
Liu Ming, who was wearing an official uniform and a black veil on his head, patted the shocked wood: "Come on, burn the Hualien Temple for me!" ”
The officers who had been waiting at Hualien Temple lit torches.
A cloud of black smoke rose from the direction of Hualien Temple......
This temple, which has stood in Chunfeng County for more than 20 years, has harmed countless women from good families and turned to ashes in a fire.
Master Wu continued to shout in a duck neck voice: "According to the law of the Song Dynasty, a group of criminal monks should be escorted to the state capital and handed over to the governor for death. to go. ”
Hearing this, Yuanding, who knelt on the ground, suddenly showed a trace of cunning in his eyes. He only thinks about leaving the territory of Chunfeng County now, and as for going to the state capital where his layman brother is the general judge, no matter what the result is, it will be better than in Chunfeng County.
Several monks next to Yuanding also knew Yuanding's thoughts, and their hearts were a little relaxed.
"Wait!" There was a shout from the county hall.
"Master, what do you command?" Master Wu asked.
Liu Ming said in a righteous voice: "Yuanding and others are extremely evil. The state capitals are hundreds of miles apart, and the road is far away, and there is a fear of regeneration. Chen paused, his eyes like torches, "This official has decided to correct the Fa on the spot!" ”
The sound is thunderous.
The people applauded. There were even a few old people who almost fainted with excitement.
Master Wu bowed his head and said, "My lord, this is not in accordance with the law." The magistrate did not rule on the right to live and die......"
Liu Ming held the case with both hands, looked at Yuanding who was kneeling on the ground, and insisted, "Yuanding and others are not punishable, and their evil deeds are monstrous, and they are hard to write." If the official wants to act cheaply, I think the state officials will understand. ”
Master Wu still wanted to fight for a few words, but seeing Liu Ming's firm gaze, he understood that there was nothing he could do to stop him.
"Someone...... Bring the guillotine to the courtyard, and the official will personally ask for the beheading! Liu Ming shouted.
The four messengers slowly lifted the five-hundred-pound guillotine out and put it in the courtyard.
The guillotine, wiped and oiled, glittered golden in the sun, making those evil monks feel terrified when they saw it.
"Master Qingtian, we know that we are wrong, and we only blame Na Yuanding for misleading us. Let's make such mistakes. We're all innocent. ”
The monks all wept.
In the face of death, all the monks forgot about the suffering of reincarnation, and they thought about living. They also know that if they have committed evil deeds, even if they fall into samsara, they will also enter the path of hungry ghosts and beasts, and they will be locked in the eighteen layers of hell, and they will not be able to be reborn forever.
Even if the evil is as round as the circle, when I see the glowing guillotine, I sit on the ground in shock, and my brain is empty.
Liu Ming knew that this beheading was naturally a kind of severe torture. As a man of two lifetimes, he was very opposed to this kind of torture. It's just that those evil monks are really outrageous in their actions, ** women, escaping from prison and killing jailers, and they want to get rid of their local magistrates and counties as well. The sin is terrible.
Liu Ming said loudly: "This county is an official of the imperial court, and he guards one side on behalf of the Son of Heaven. It is truly outrageous that such a calamity has occurred under the rule of the rule today. The county announced that the execution would be carried out immediately! ”
After speaking, he felt a burst of relief in his heart, thinking that this parent official can really decide a lot of things.
At the sound of an order, the four officials threw Yuanding to the ground, chewed wood in his mouth, stripped off his clothes, took out a reed to cover it, wrapped it like a rice dumpling, and tied it three times with straw rope. Two officers lifted him up and walked to the guillotine, while the other two men held the back of the guillotine and waited for the execution.
"Master, is it executed?" The two officers asked.
The circle under the guillotine is already like ashes.
Liu Ming turned his back and raised his head, the scorching sun made him dazzle. He closed his eyes and said loudly:
"Execution!"
