Chapter 50: A False Utopia
In the prison, as silent as a coffin, Hongsheng sat on the bench, the Buddha beads were scattered on the ground, and the guards threw the food into the pane at will, and sneered at the end: "You monk, drink wine and eat meat, the six roots are not clean, it is simply insulting to the Buddha, hey, it is okay to be frustrated in life, it is good to enjoy it more, anyway, you are going to sit in prison." ”
This is yesterday's leftovers are cold, coupled with the hot weather, it is already rancid and smelly, Hongsheng is eating with taste, and said with deep meaning: "Back then, Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, stirring up the earth, Kyushu thundered, he could turn 108,000 miles with a somersault, and even the five fingers of Rulai could not escape, this story illustrates: a river of spring water and a river, a mountain is higher than a mountain, never underestimate the opponent." ”
The prison guard didn't take it seriously, smiled contemptuously, and was suddenly covered by a hand from behind, and the dagger stabbed into his back at a lightning speed, stabbing into his back of the heart, knife after knife, as if the hatred was as deep as the sea, until the ground was splashed with warm blood, the person who came still stopped, took off the cell key, opened the cage, and took off the prison guard's clothes, and exchanged with Hongsheng's robe.
Hongsheng just got out of prison, to do an earth-shattering event, said that the world people are not sick, because of the creation of all kinds of karma, will be riddled with evil diseases, there is a panacea in his hands, called Agata medicine, the color is like a white treasure, the glory of the world, with Buddhism as a medicine guide, placed in the sea of wisdom, and then with the samadhi real fire decoction, can open a hundred tricks, dispel all evils, cure all diseases, is the sentient beings to get rid of birth, old age, sickness and death.
At first, only the believer's family took it, but it turned out that the effect was remarkable, not only the pain disappeared, but the physical function could also be improved, and what was even more amazing was that the Agata medicine could also make immortality, longevity and Tianqi, the grandmother who had half a foot in the ground, took the Agata medicine, and immediately returned to the light, and the patients suffering from cancer, after taking the Agata medicine, immediately recovered from a serious illness, for a while, everyone flocked to it, competing for it, from the senior government officials to the people in the market, all of them took this medicine.
There are also experts and scholars who question the efficacy of the elixir, a medicine can only cure one disease, how can there be a cure for all diseases, Hongsheng's explanation to the outside is: "People's diseases come from the five reverses and ten evils, the medicinal power of Agata medicine, can eliminate all immeasurable evil, can be compassionate, can also be 84,000 methods, its permutations and combinations, there are infinite numbers, not to mention a hundred diseases, even suffering from thousands of stubborn diseases, can also be eliminated." There is a famous saying: "When the scientist climbed to the top of the mountain with great difficulty, the Buddhist master has been waiting for a long time." At this time, experts and scholars were also convinced, and could not help but feel the breadth and profundity of Buddhism.
Jiang Xingyue returned to the city, still wearing red and green, spotted and prosperous, and nothing unusual happened, the intuition pedestrians were all energetic, walking upright, and no one was playing with their mobile phones, they all looked straight ahead, their eyes were blazing, it was a holiday now, there was no need to go to work, Jiang Xingyue dialed the mobile phone and invited Su Kelan to her parents' house to play, the implication was that she was regarded as her own family, Su Kelan was overjoyed, and forgot the elegant and reserved nature of the girl's family, and agreed.
But the first time she met the second elder, she couldn't be empty-handed, so she and Jiang Xingyue worked side by side to go to the mall to buy some gifts, as soon as they arrived at the mall, Su Kelan was attracted by the high and low shelves, a dazzling array of goods, this one also buys, which one to buy, the shopping cart is piled up, in fact, like chocolate, ice cream, potato chips, these things, most of the parents can't eat, Su Kelan thinks that what she likes to eat, others will also love to eat, looking at the mountains of snacks, Jiang Xingyue feels sorry for her pocket: "The gift is light, you don't have to buy everything." ”
Su Kelan ignored the advice, and her eyes were so beautiful that she palpitated, revealing an atmospheric look: "What do you know, the first impression is very important, as a future daughter-in-law, you can't let your uncle and aunt look flat." She spoke generously, without the slightest hint of obscurity, there are heroes among women, but she is shy first, "Daughter-in-law? Jiang Xingyue turned her head, her face was as red as a ripe persimmon.
When it came to the fresh area, there was a strange phenomenon, whether it was the fruit area, the big and round watermelon, the golden oranges, the round grapes, or the vegetable area, the bright tomatoes, the white and red radish, the green spinach, no one cared, but the raw meat area, it was sold out early, a passerby was very hungry, actually chewed the raw meat covered with oil, and the blood and water mixed with his hara flowed down, Jiang Xingyue felt weird, and was about to step forward to theorize, but was dragged away by Su Kelan, she didn't want to cause more trouble, and scolded:" Neurotic, ignore him. ”
In fact, Su Kelan also felt abnormal, in the huge shopping mall, although it was crowded, no one was noisy, passers-by walked straight one by one, like poplars on the autumn field, as the saying goes: the moon is full of losses, and the water is overflowing, if everything is too orderly, it is not normal, people's personalities and demeanors have their own merits, and this group of people is like a mold carved out, except for the difference in appearance, the behavior is almost the same.
The corridor of the community, long and dim, a few moths fluttered towards the light, there was a scorching sound, they came to the door of the house with a large bag and a small bag, the distant birds, worried about the old forest, as a wandering wanderer home, Jiang Xingyue was a little apprehensive in his heart, the rusty iron door exposed the gap, reflecting the bright and shallow environment, his mother was wearing a brand new black tweed coat, flat short hair like a layer of hoarfrost, her expression was a little cold, although Jiang Xingyue added oil and vinegar to the introduction, or Su Kelan, an uninvited guest, full of estrangement.
Jiang Xingyue was full of apologies: "I'm sorry for neglecting you." Although she almost closed her door, Su Kelan said open-mindedly: "It's okay, the elderly love to live alone, and it's me who makes them clean." Just as he was hesitating to stay, Jiang Xingyue's father came out of the kitchen, he was thin and thin, wearing a small felt hat, and his bib was still stained with blood, and when he saw Su Kelan, he also said coldly: "The person who comes is a guest, let's eat together." ”
They sat at the dining table, but instead of gathering together, they were bitter and bitter, and on the table of the Eight Immortals paved with colored satin, there were only a few dishes, and the wooden chopsticks were slanted to the side, leaving a black shadow, Ah Gong opened the lid of the meal, and it turned out to be a bloody piece of raw beef, thinking of what he had seen in the supermarket, Jiang Xingyue was speechless in horror: "This." It was Su Kelan who immediately played a round game, which eased the solemn atmosphere slightly: "I remember that there is a dish called tartare beef in foreign countries, which is beef with capers, olive oil, and black pepper eaten raw, but I didn't expect my uncle and aunt to be quite foreign." She couldn't help but smile and hide her fear.
Ah Gong directly grabbed the raw meat on the plate, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it in a big gulp, like a greedy gluttony, which scared the two of them into a daze, Su Kelan wanted to withdraw and leave, but how did he expect that the sky was not beautiful, and suddenly the wind and rain were dark outside, and he had to take power and rest, Jiang Xingyue realized that the situation was wrong, and asked his parents if they had any bizarre experiences, although they had eaten Agata medicine, but their self-consciousness was still there, so they told Hongsheng Guang the process of administering the elixir, Jiang Xingyue was both remorseful and angry, hating his lack of love for his parents, Only then did the outlaws take advantage of the loophole.
At night, Su Kelan locked the door of the room for safety, and could see the horizontal lake like a mirror from the window, the beige curtains had verdant saplings, and the pure white silk was warm and delicate, allowing people to enter the edge of the dream in softness, and when Su Kelan opened her eyes in a daze, she saw that her grandmother's eyes were like copper bells, and she was looking at herself, which eyes were yellow, without a trace of brilliance, and her lips were bloodless, and she said: "You will become as ugly as me, hahaha!" The voice was terrible and terrifying, like the resentment of a cave flute.
Despair surged into Su Kelan's heart like a frenzy, making her cold, shouting for help, the door creaked open, but it was Ah Gong who came in, his triangular face was miserable gray in the moonlight, the two jawbones were pointed protrusions, and his eyes were turned up in a daze, very terrifying, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, rubbing his hands: "Wife, we will have meat to eat tomorrow." The pale green cold light wiped Su Kelan's ears and nailed them to the wall, the knife wind was agitated, blowing off a few of her hairs, Ah Gong went to pull out the knife, his hands were crawling with earthworm-like blood vessels, Su Kelan was inches away from him, and the next knife would hit the door of the head, and he would never miss.
The situation is not allowed, fortunately, Jiang Xingyue arrived in time and tied his parents to the chair first, this is not unfilial, but desperate, the situation is very serious, the poison of Agata medicine has spread into thousands of households, the first taker, the demeanor is as quiet as a virgin, become isolated, and the puppet is no different, the regular taker, gradually crazy, very aggressive, like to eat raw meat, until the end, will turn into a withered gizzard, the sky is steaming, who has no parents? Hongsheng Hong Buddha is fake, the demon is true, and he actually separated other people's relatives, Jiang Xingyue hated it: "This medicine is turbid, and I need to find an antidote to save all the people and my parents." ”
Su Kelan was a little clear: "The wool is out of the sheep, if you want to find an antidote, you should start with Hongsheng." "They walk in the chaotic streets, the city has changed, the high-rise buildings, covered with vines and vines, such as treasure screens, street lamps, benches, traffic lights and anything else, are purple and cloudy, covered with hazelnuts, like wearing a green clothes, Hongsheng is holding an activity to peddle elixir, the market demand is large, the price is also rising, it becomes unattainable, the eater is willing to be a horse, no matter the cost of taking medicine, the rich scatter their property, the poor sell their children, to pursue the illusory dream brought by the medicine of Agatha, Afterwards, the empty court was fasted, and the rest of the sky was empty.
Hongsheng was not ashamed to say the words, what he said was high-sounding: "Believers, the so-called heaven and earth monarch teacher, will be respected, the master has served all sentient beings, of course, you also need to make offerings, I hope you can offer and give alms, and repay the four graces." The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, Su Kelan showed a sarcastic smile: "People are shameless, they are really invincible in the world." Jiang Xingyue asked her to hide in the dense bushes, and she suddenly appeared, killing Hongsheng was unguarded.
The two monks of the Dharma protector are dressed in cloud red clothes, holding a hatching biological gun, this kind of gun is extremely poisonous, spraying special varieties of flies, after entering the human body, it will quickly lay eggs, maggots quickly break out of the body, until the victim becomes a number of dogs, they don't talk much, directly pull the trigger, several flies bounce their heads and drum their wings, drill the camp to make holes, but the zombies are as strong as King Kong, and the flies are trying to eat milk, which is useless.
Jiang Xingyue slapped with his backhand, drove the ducks to the shelves, and bounced the flies to the disciples, compared to his invulnerable body, the flesh of the disciples could be broken by blowing, the maggots were as thin as cow hair, and the clusters were like spikes, turning over the clouds and twisting the sea in their bodies, and gnawing wildly, until the intestines were rotten and the ointment was all over the ground, Fang Xing crawled out, and the death was particularly tragic, Hongsheng was carried in the air like an eagle catching a chicken: "Quick, hand over the antidote to the Agata medicine, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." Hongsheng cocked his mouth, smiled and said: "The threat is a manifestation of incompetence, alas, it doesn't hurt to tell you, after taking the Agata medicine, the fate of the division belongs, there is no medicine to save it, you can only change one life for another, and now kill a living person, use his heart as a guide, in order to save the patient." ”
Jiang Xingyue sneered: "Thank you for reminding me." With his left hand bent and grasped, the ghost spirit surrounded his fingertips, Hongsheng sensed the danger, and shook like a swing: "If you are guilty, you must be judged, you can't kill me privately!" Jiang Xingyue used his way of being a person to govern his body: "Doesn't Buddhism also say that one killing and multiple lives leads to Zen, and it is allowed." He pinched his throat like iron tongs, Hongsheng started the fight of the trapped beast, but he only untied the knot with his heel, and soon swallowed his breath, Jiang Xingyue took out his heart and sent it to his parents to eat, and it was really effective, but the treatment of exchanging life for life was destined not to save everyone, and the beacon fire was still ignited.
