After the old monk took a deep breath, he continued, "That year, I was twenty-three years old, and I was a monk in Lingyin Temple for more than ten years under the old host's acceptance, Wang Zhiqing had grown up at that time, and it is said that he became a family at the age of fifteen. He also had ambiguity for a girl named Su Zhen in Sandaokan Village, this girl I had also seen at the time, had come to Lingyin Temple many times to pray for blessings, and the appearance was very symbolic, and the two of them came and went and deepened their feelings, but the good times did not last long, Su Zhen found out that she was pregnant, which could be said to be on the same level as murder and arson at that time, because at that time the new country had just been established, and the new law was promulgated, and the government was vigorously rectifying some bad customs in the old society, such as the old society men can have three wives and four concubines, Visiting the kiln is legal and so on are the first to be eradicated vices, although Wang Zhiqing said that he did not have three wives and four concubines, but he had an affair with another woman outside of marriage, and caused the other party to become pregnant, this kind of crime was not small at the time, a light sentence of more than ten years, a heavy sentence of several decades is also possible, seeing that Su Zhen's belly is going to bulge day by day, Wang Zhixiu is also very afraid, and then he came up with a bad idea, let Su Zhen find another man to marry, at first Su Zhen naturally did not agree, but helpless Wang Zhiqing pressed, Su Zhen had to compromise, but at that time, how could it be so easy to find a man to marry, few married men dared to have any ideas about other women, so Su Zhen naturally couldn't get close to other men, and in the end, Su Zhen found me, however, Su Zhen didn't use any bad methods to seduce me, but directly told me the truth, and wanted me to help Wang Zhiqing bear this crime, although I am a Buddhist, but I can see that Su Zhen loves Wang Zhiqing very much, however, it is precisely because I am a Buddhist, so I can never agree to this matter, Because once I agreed, this not only involves my personal reputation, but also ruins the reputation of Buddhism, although I am very sympathetic to Su Zhen, but I still sent her away, before leaving I saw her eyes full of despair and dazed, can not find the next family to blame, Wang Zhiqing's plan will not be implemented, seeing that things are destined to be exposed, Wang Zhiqing will have murderous intentions, he deceived Su Zhen to the edge of the cliff and pushed into the valley, and when people found Su Zhen, Su Zhen had died of anger, and the thorns on the hillside completely scratched her face, If it weren't for the fact that no one would recognize it as Su Zhen at the time, people only thought that Su Zhen had fallen into the cliff by herself, so no one pursued this matter, and no one knew that Su Zhen was pregnant, and later, after two years, Wang Zhiqing always had a disturbed conscience, so he put down his family and went to join the army to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and wanted to end his life on the battlefield, which can be regarded as making some contribution to the people, but he did not die on the battlefield, and when he returned to Wudaokan next time, he had become a lame, and in the past few years since he joined the army, His daughter-in-law and little daughter have died of illness, and returned to the village again, he has been accustomed to stool, usually taciturn and does not like to go out, this is decades, when he is close to Jiazi, a chance chance he picked up an abandoned baby boy at the entrance of the village, such as the treasure of his life in his old age and confidence, so he worked hard for more than ten years to raise the baby boy to adulthood. A month ago, Lao Wang suddenly came to Lingyin Temple to find me, originally two enemies, but when they met, they were all old and gray, and no longer talked about the rights and wrongs of the past, Lao Wang told me that his body was not as good as before recently, and he felt that his life was not long in coming, but he often saw Su Zhen's shadow at home recently, Su Zhen said that he came to him to ask for revenge, he knew that he owed Su Zhen and was not afraid to pay for his life, but he was afraid that Su Zhen would hurt the child he had worked so hard to pull, so he prayed for me to help, don't let Su Zhen harm the child, half a month later, I learned the news of Lao Wang's death, I know that if the double evil array in the courtyard of the Wang family is not removed, the disaster will not be broken, even if Suzhen does not come to find trouble, I am afraid that there will be other disasters in the future, the grievances of the two generations have paid a heavy price, and it should not affect the third generation, so I know that it is time for me to make a move, so I came to the door yesterday to resolve the fate......"
After listening to the old monk's words, Xiao Fei and Zhang Dali couldn't cry anymore, Xiao Fei shook his head and never believed that his grandfather was such a person when he was young.
The old monk smiled and said to Xiao Fei, "Child, there will inevitably be times when you are lost in life, but the important thing is to be able to stop and admit your mistakes in time, your grandfather has made meritorious contributions to the battlefield in his life, and it is not easy to pull you to grow up, he is a good grandfather!" ”
When the old monk said this, his breath was really weak, and we knew that the old monk would not be able to hold out for long, and the wound would not stop bleeding for such a long time, and excessive blood loss was enough to cause death.
The old monk struggled to pile up Uncle Kong and said, "Remember, at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, I can't miss a penny, burn this big locust tree on time, burn my body as well, and send the ashes back for me...... Return to Lingyin Temple......"
After saying that, the old monk's eyes were already a little unable to open, seeing that the old monk was about to breathe, several of us were sad but helpless, a few minutes later, the old monk ascended to heaven, standing there motionless, no breath.
Seeing the old monk pass away, although we are heartbroken, we can only accept this reality, we work together to put the old monk down and lie flat on the ground, cover the old monk with clothes, Uncle Kong took back his string of Buddhist beads from the old monk, Uncle Kong looked at the time, it was one o'clock in the morning, Uncle Kong proposed to give the old monk a few people except Xiao Fei tonight, which can be regarded as repaying the old monk's help, but Xiao Fei did not agree, insisted on staying together for the old monk's spirit, Uncle Kong had to agree to Xiao Fei, So the four of us waited by the old monk's side until dawn.
After dawn, Uncle Kong instructed me and Dali to go outside to find some dry firewood to prepare for the burning of the big locust tree at noon, and he and Xiaofei stayed to make breakfast, so Dali and I went outside to find dry firewood.
It was easiest to find firewood in the mountains, and before they could sit down for breakfast, the two of us had already piled up a lot of firewood.
After breakfast was ready, a few of us hurriedly ate, Uncle Kong went to the backyard to collect all the magic weapons that the old monk had arranged last night, and then we used firewood to surround the big locust tree, and according to the old monk's last wishes, the old monk's body also leaned against the locust tree, and after everything was ready, a fire burned the old locust tree at three o'clock in the afternoon.
