Chapter 28: Gouging out the eyes and breaking the tongue
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming saw the made hundred illusion maps, and after seeing that the paintings and effects in the pictures were the same as those recorded in the ancient books, he proposed to find someone to try the real effect. At the same time, the chief judge finally found the leper monk, and clearly explained the other party's life experience, mentioning that the leper monk's eyes turned out to be a kind of dark night eye that could see things in the dark and could also see ghosts and gods. The Grand Judge was ordered to act, and after easily subduing the leper monk, he took both of his eyes. When the monks in the temple heard the screams of the leper monk and rushed to him, the figure of the chief judge was gone. In the blood-stained flower field, only the leper monk who was gouged out and his tongue was cut off. 】
Immersed in the moonlight, the Tanhua Temple is quiet. Only the chirping of insects under the grass and trees came from time to time.
The night breeze blows through the mountains and forests outside the temple, and the plants and trees planted in the flower fields sway several times in a row. Under the moonlight, the shadows swayed with it.
The leper monk who was in the midst of the bright green leaves didn't say a word, and the consternation in his heart increased instead of decreasing, and when he instantly filled his chest, the five fingers of his right hand trembled slightly.
The Grand Judge opposite him was right, he was indeed a monk like this back then. In Kunming, because there are cakes such as flower cakes in the city, there are many flower farmers outside the city. But scarcity is expensive, and there are many flower farmers, so the competition is naturally not small.
At the beginning, the leper monk's family, it was because the burden was too heavy to pay for him to see a doctor, so he was sent to Tanhua Temple for treatment with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
And when the former abbot proposed to take him into the house, his parents didn't think much about it, so they left the leper monk here to become a monk.
He became a monk, and he was responsible for the expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation in the temple, so the family could naturally reduce a lot of burdens.
In those days, his parents didn't sell him to rich and noble families as slaves, and they were already considered benevolent and righteous.
But now, in addition to his current abbot brother, some of the brothers in the temple know his life experience. The leper monk didn't know, how did the personable young man in front of him know about it?
Moreover, the fact that he has a pair of unique eyes is known only to a few monks of Tanhua Temple. The leper monk couldn't understand, how did this young man know?
"That's not all I know." Holding the hand of the folding fan, the chief judge behind him looked at the leper monk's eyes and couldn't help but look at the suspicion, as if he had seen through what the other party was thinking, and then said slowly: "I also know that your family has special eyes. From your eldest sister to your younger brother and sister, and your parents, they are all like this. It's just that their night eyes can only see things in the dark, but they can't see the ghosts. And your sister, brother, and younger sister's offspring don't have this special pair of eyes. This makes us very curious, but your relatives' eyes are useless, and there are not many night eyes in this world that can see clearly in the dark, but they are not unusual. We Holy Sect just want to study your eyes, and maybe we can learn some secrets about the human body from them. ”。
From beginning to end, the chief judge still looked calm and calm on his face with a faint smile: "Then these eyeballs, are you going with me or am I digging them out?" ”。
The leper monk's senior brother placed him again, also to protect him from being caught in the eyes of outsiders. Unexpectedly, he still did not escape this catastrophe. But the leper monk will never sit still, he has recovered from the shock, he folded his hands and closed his eyes slightly, and said word by word: "The donor has evil spirits, and your sect must not be a decent family." Poor monks are born as disciples of Buddhism, and they will never allow such evil as you to exist. If you want my eyes, it depends on how capable you are. ”。
After saying that, the leper monk suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were already full of cold murderous aura that was diametrically opposed to the compassion of the Buddhist disciples.
A faint golden light shone above the head of the leper monk, forming a huge aura, competing with the moonlight that was slanting down in the air. Under the night wind, the Grand Judge heard the solemn golden light, and faintly heard the whispering Sanskrit sound, which scattered in the moonlight with the swirling night wind.
The chief judge, who was not frightened, was immediately attracted by the golden light above the head of the leper monk, and said excitedly: "Is this the Buddha's light?" ”。
As he spoke, he unfolded the folding fan that had already been folded, and narrowed his eyes that burst out with a cold and murderous aura.
The chief judge was motionless, still standing in place, and the leper monk on the opposite side had already jumped up on tiptoe, half a foot off the ground in an instant, and swooped towards the chief judge with a strong wind.
"Life is too short, why should the master be in such a hurry to commit suicide?" The Grand Judge raised his head and looked at the leper monk who had already crossed the arc in the air in front of him and walked under the bright full moon, and said unhurriedly: "I don't know if the monk who committed suicide in your sect can still go to Elysium?" ”......
The wind blew down from the mountain and into the temple. In the temple in the dead of night, the cultivated peony, spring orchid, snow orchid, tiger head orchid, Burmese osmanthus, weeping silk sea hall and other flowers are brushed. The whistling sound of the night wind attracted the echoing insect chirping among the flowers and trees that did not end at all o'clock.
The abbot Yingkong sat alone in his living room.
The furnishings in this room are simple and simple, except for the bed next to the wall, there is only a bookshelf full of books, and a desk and futon on the ground in the center.
Such a simple furnishing in the house also echoes the pure heart and few desires of the Buddhist family.
The fitted robe worn on the abbot of Yingkong has faded after repeated scrubbing, and the corners have turned a little white, but it is still neat and tidy. made him, an old man, appear more energetic.
Although his hair was pale, and his forehead and face were full of wrinkles, he was in good spirits, sitting on the futon behind the desk, and by the faint light of the lone lamp on the table, he was copying the scriptures.
Just as the scriptures he copied and wrote, they were all neatly written.
The brush in the abbot's hand danced unhurriedly, and on the scriptures, a string of neatly arranged scriptures was written. The faint but not strong ink fragrance gradually emanates from the paper as the nib of the pen moves.
The more verses are written in the scriptures, the more calm and calm the abbot becomes. There was not the slightest ripple in his heart, which was like the deep water of an ancient well, and his heart suddenly became empty. And he became more and more focused, and his spirit was even more concentrated.
The flow of the air in this room, and the track of the night breeze blowing outside the house, were clearly perceived by the master.
Suddenly, a trace of evil coldness drifted to the front of the house. And the abbot of Yingkong in the room frowned suddenly, and suddenly stopped writing.
Yingkong wondered for a while, in this temple, the most solemn, there are ancestors everywhere to put the Buddha door ban, evil ghosts and gods will never dare to come to the door easily, where does the evil spirit come from?
The abbot put the pen on the pen stand, and when he slowly stood up, he heard a heart-rending scream from outside the house.
The cry pierced the silence and resounded in the cold night sky, over Tanhua Temple. The voice was terrible, so that the abbot of Yingkong, a high-ranking monk, shuddered when he heard it.
Under the echo of the screams, the trembling abbot of Yingkong had bypassed the desk and strode towards the gate. When he pulled the door open, several of the monks on duty had already stumbled and ran to his door in a panic.
By this time, the screams had died down, but the monks were still terrified.
"Abbot, it seems to be a voice from behind the courtyard." One of the monks, who was quite calm, hurriedly folded his hands and replied to the abbot of Yingkong, who was standing outside the door.
And the abbot of Yingkong also raised his eyes to look in the direction where the screams came from, and his heart sank, and he said secretly: "Senior brother? ”。
Immediately after, the abbot of Yingkong had already walked quickly, heading towards the place where the screams had just sounded. The monks on duty hurriedly picked up the eyebrow sticks standing by the door and followed.
After the screams, the Tanhua Temple is no longer quiet. In the night breeze under the moonlight, there is a vague fear. The more the monks followed the abbot to the back garden, the more intense the trembling of their legs became.
Gradually, they also smelled a faint trace of blood, which diffused in the air. The deeper you go in the back garden, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.
They walked to a small closed door in the back garden, unlocked it, pushed it out, and came to the hillside behind the temple.
After a short walk through the forest, I came to a flower field in the forest not far behind the temple.
When the monks stood on the edge of the flower field and did not go further, they were all stunned in the moonlight.
There is also a faint evil echoing in the flower field, the original leafy flowers and plants, lying crookedly in the flower field, have long been broken and broken leaves all over the ground.
The fields of flowers seemed to have been ravaged by a fierce and strong wind, and most of the plants and trees had been uprooted when they were broken, leaving pits in the ground, which were left by the uprooting of the plants and trees.
The rich smell of blood emanated from the mess.
The leper monk who was guarding the flower field was already lying on his back in the messy flowers, twitching slightly. In the pale and soft moonlight, the leper monk who was waiting for his two eyes was covered with blood.
In his bloody and blurred eye sockets, the eyeballs were long gone, leaving only empty eye sockets waiting for the cold moon in the air.
When I looked down, I saw that his mouth was growing up, constantly foaming with blood. But the tongue was gone.
"Turn him over." Seeing that the leper monk's mouth was broken and bleeding from his mouth, the abbot of Yingkong was afraid that the leper monk would choke to death by the blood, and he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly commanded the monk who was frightened by the leper monk's terrifying appearance, and hurriedly turned the leper monk lying on the ground over, so as not to pour the blood in his mouth into his throat.
The abbot of Yingkong clutched the Buddha beads in his hand and looked around, but did not notice the breath of others. And except for the shadow of the tree and the moonlight, no one else can be seen except the monk. He didn't know who was so cruel and gouged out his eyes and broke his tongue for his junior brother.
"Abbot, he, he, his ears." When the monks worked together to turn over with the leper monk, they saw that the leper monk's ears were also bleeding, and the whole person was not only gouged out and his tongue broken, but also pierced the eardrums in both ears with sharp weapons. At this moment, his ears were also overflowing with blood.
The abbot of Yingkong hurriedly took out the white medicine that had been prepared long ago, and sprinkled it evenly on the wound of the leper monk, and immediately thought of the mysterious person who the leper monk had privately mentioned to him a few days ago and came to take away the leper monk and raise the little ghost to cry at night.
After that, the abbot of Yingkong also checked it privately, and knew that the person who came was Mu Qingming, who had been working in Rong Bao Zhai in the city. Although Mu Qingming did not hurt the leper monk at that time, the abbot of Yingkong did not go down to check the details of this person, but today when he saw that the leper monk was injured so badly, he was already bleeding from seven orifices, and the abbot of Yingkong was angry, and immediately thought of whether Mu Qingming had done this cruel thing.
It's just that after thinking about it, the abbot of Yingkong, who was taking the pulse of his junior brother, couldn't understand why Mu Qingming had never hurt the leper monk at the beginning, so why did he want to kill him today?
