Chapter 19: The Cycle of Cause and Effect

But I felt like my eyelids weighed a thousand pounds, and no matter how hard I tried to open them, I couldn't. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Amitabha~"

At the moment when I was about to lose consciousness, I vaguely heard a Buddha horn, and then it was dark in front of me, and I couldn't see anything.

By the time I opened my eyes again, it was almost four o'clock in the morning.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a solemn monk sitting next to me, and the owner of the musical instrument shop and others were standing far away, stretching their necks to look this way, but they didn't dare to come.

"Thank you Master for your help!"

Although my back was still in pain, and my whole body was as heavy as lead, my injuries had stabilized and I felt much better.

The severed head corpse stood motionless not far away, and the heavy yin qi on his body also dissipated a lot, I think these should be done by this monk.

"Daoyou is polite, in fact, even if the poor monk does not come, the cultivation of Daoyou may not be able to restrain these two corpses! It's just that Daoyou is merciful and wants to give these two unjust souls a chance to be born, otherwise why should Daoyou be like this? The monk smiled.

Actually, he was right, if I had directly planned to kill these two corpses from the beginning, everything would have been much easier. As long as you set a trap, then introduce the corpse into it and burn it with fire, no matter how powerful the corpse is to ashes.

"They have suffered great grievances before they were born, and if I don't make any more indiscriminate decisions, wouldn't it be too much to just let them go up in smoke?"

I couldn't find the words to describe it for a while, so I had to use that instead.

"Yes, they were indeed greatly wronged during their lifetimes...... The poor monk has cast a spell to temporarily stabilize this corpse, fellow Daoist, you first breathe to recover some physical strength, and the rest of the things still need to be completed by you. The monk stopped talking, and finally changed the subject.

I didn't make much excuses, and immediately ran the Tao Sutra pranayama cross-legged, because I really needed time to recover my strength now. Before that, I first removed the ban on Qiankun Yujue, and reported safety to Liu Xin inside, of course, I had to explain it to her. It took me about an hour of pranayama before I felt a little better, of course, just in relation to the state I was in before pranayama!

"Master, you wanted to stop talking before, do you know the origin of these two corpses?"

"Isn't it clear to you that you will ask them in person?" These Buddhist monks are good at everything, and it's annoying to just talk. They always talk about simple things in a mysterious, like guessing a dumb riddle, and they keep saying that "monks don't talk to them", and there is simply no way to communicate happily with them. Since this monk is reluctant to say more, I don't want to ask more.

Smearing some blood on the peachwood sword again, I walked up to the corpse with extremely heavy steps, and plunged a sword into its heart.

In a few moments, a cloud of clear qi drifted away from the corpse, and then condensed into the appearance of a scholar. It's just that this scholar doesn't have the gentle and elegant aura that a scholar should have, but is surrounded by a thick yin qi, and his face is full of murderous aura.

Immediately after that, I opened the Qiankun bag and released the female ghost inside. Judging from the figure, this woman should have been extremely symbolic, but at this time, I couldn't see any woman's beauty in her, only a resentment and violence that couldn't be dissolved.

The two ghosts looked at each other, and then pounced on the monk as if they were crazy.

Seeing this, the monk sighed, slowly put his palms together, and recited the Buddhist scriptures without hurrying. Of course, I was not idle, and called the owner of the musical instrument shop and all the others over and asked them to recite the mantra with me.

"If you don't want to die, follow me sincerely and recite the mantra of repentance." I said to them solemnly.

Of course, I'm just pretending to be serious just to get them to come, after all, the more people who chant the mantra, the more obvious the effect, but the person who recites the mantra needs to be sincere.

Then I knew that I was overthinking, and even if I didn't make a move, it would be more than enough for this monk to deal with these two ghosts. I really don't understand why this monk still said that I need to complete the next thing, obviously he can do it himself!

I have to say that there is some truth in why Buddhism is so popular in our country. The monk only recited a few Buddhist scriptures, and the resentment on the two ghosts dissipated a lot.

But since I've let out a message for the music shop owner to recite a mantra to me, of course I can't stand idle, and I want to finish it sooner.

"There are many sentient beings who settle grievances, and deep grievances are difficult to resolve. One life is wronged, and the third world never stops. I will preach the wonderful law today and remove all the unjust karma. Listen to the recitation, and the enemy will disperse. "I put the peachwood sword in the center of my eyebrows and taught the owner of the musical instrument shop and others to recite this mantra.

Inadvertently, I found that one of the four owners of the musical instrument shop was missing, and it was the one with extremely low flames, so I thought it should be less ferocious.

Under our joint efforts, the resentment on the two powerful ghosts quickly dissipated, and their eyes became much clearer, but the five of us, including this monk, were already sweating profusely.

Reciting the mantra with sincerity is not a simple matter, and the consumption of physical energy and soul power makes my steps vain, and I am about to lose my footing.

"What grievances do you have to make, and why do you have to take the lives of these people?" I asked, holding the peachwood sword in my hand, but my voice was clearly lacking in breath.

After hearing my inquiry, the two ghosts had a desolate look on their faces, and then they stared at the musical instrument shop owner and the others viciously. I thought they were going to break out and hurt people, so I secretly clenched the peachwood sword, and as long as the two ghosts had any changes, I would be merciless!

"Xiaosheng Du Yi, this is my lady Qiu Niang. I was originally a talent in this county, and although my family was poor, my life was not bad. By chance, I got acquainted with Qiu Niang, who made the top brand in the land of fireworks. Although Qiu Niang is the top brand of Qinglou, she is not a performer, and she is knowledgeable, no worse than those ladies. We fell in love at first sight, and the day I redeemed my life for her was the day we got married.

But I'm just a flat-headed person, and my family can't make ends meet, so I can't come up with money to redeem Qiu Niang. Besides, Qiu Niang is the top brand, and the ransom is far from being comparable to ordinary Qinglou women. Fortunately, there was no end to it, and I got a job as a gentleman for the children of some wealthy businessmen. In this way, it didn't take long for me to scrape together enough ransom for Qiu Niang.

I happily ransomed myself for Qiu Niang, and Qiu Niang also dressed herself as a beautiful bride and prepared to marry into my family.

But on the wedding night, an hour before we got married, a son of an official eunuch forcibly asked Qiu Niang to pick up guests. The old bustard was forced to ...... Let...... Let Qiu Niang pick up guests! Speaking of this, this scholar called Du Yi was extremely excited, and his face was full of grief and indignation. And the woman called Qiu Niang has long been crying!

Qiu Niang looks weak, but she is a chaste woman, and after losing her innocence, she chose to die. By the time I arrived, there was only a corpse hanging from the beam......" Du Yi also cried, his face full of pain.

"I went to the Yamen to sue the official, but I didn't expect that the county magistrate not only did not avenge me, but instead imposed a heavy sentence on me, and even made a false confession after I passed out, and finally sentenced me to the charge of murder and immediately beheaded me. Poor my parents went to the county government to cry out for injustice...... was seriously injured, and in the end both died! I hate it! I hate the sky without eyes, I hate the wicked people in power, I hate myself for being useless. Later, before I died, I learned that the son of the official eunuch was actually a relative of the county commander...... Haha......" Du Yi's eyes were red, and he laughed angrily.

Buddhism has clouds: it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Originally, building a temple is a matter of doing great good and accumulating great virtue, but the merit of building ten temples can't calm the resentment of demolishing a marriage!

No wonder the couple were so resentful, but a good marriage was broken up, and the happy event turned into a funeral, and they also lost the lives of the whole family for no reason.

I also know the rights and wrongs of the matter almost well, the reason why the husband and wife found the owner of the musical instrument shop and others is afraid that the county order and others are their ancestors.

Sure enough, Du Yi's next words confirmed my conjecture.

"Didn't you ask me why my husband and wife found them? Because they are the descendants of the county commander, the children of the eunuchs, the masters, the bustards and the executioners! You say, such a deep hatred, can I not repay it? ”

The truth of the matter was finally revealed, and the owner of the musical instrument store and others suddenly realized that they finally understood the reason why the couple came to the door.

"Amitabha! The poor monk is the descendant of the master. At that time, the ancestors were also forced to become monks, and later became monks when they were uneasy. And instructed future generations to cut their hair and become monks before the age of thirty, and repent for this matter! The monk said.

It turns out that the appearance of this monk is not a coincidence!

"Repentance? Does repentance work? Will repentance make up for the pain in my husband and wife's hearts? Can repentance give back to our family? The female ghost said hysterically.

"But it's been so long, and besides, the county commander and others have turned into loess, and their descendants are innocent." I said earnestly.

"They're innocent, should we be the ones who should be?"

"......" left me speechless, but I was secretly glad in my heart that I didn't directly let them die, otherwise fate would have been too unfair for them.

Although there is no absolute fairness in the world, I still try my best to maintain my personal view of fairness. Don't say anything to look up to the sky, bow down to others, at least I have a clear conscience!

"But this happened in the ninth year of Chongzhen?" I asked suddenly.

"You...... How do you know? Do you have something to do with this? Both husband and wife looked at me in amazement, and the others looked weird.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm a modern person, I don't know if you've heard of the Liu family?" Instead of answering, I asked another question.

"The Liu family was a big family at that time, and the young lady of the Liu family, Miss Liu Xin, was talented and well-known in the local area. Xiao Sheng admired it very much at the beginning, and he was fortunate to meet him at a lantern festival. ”

"And who do you see her?"

Under everyone's extremely surprised expressions, Liu Xin came out of the Qiankun jade. Fortunately, everyone has seen a lot of things, otherwise I am afraid that they will be scared again.

Of course, Liu Xin asked me to ask the previous question, because she said that the couple seemed to be contemporaries of her.

"You are, Miss Liu, why are you ......" Du Yi and Qiu Niang said in surprise after seeing Liu Xin.

"Actually, like you, I was also persecuted by that dog official......" At that moment, Liu Xin also told her own affairs.

"In this way, Miss Liu can be regarded as helping us take revenge! Please accept my husband and wife! After speaking, the two knelt down and bowed to Liu Xin.

"Two, please. It's been so long, it's time to let go. Besides, why should the grievances of our predecessors be involved in future generations? Liu Xin advised.

The Buddha said: The cycle of cause and effect. This is the best interpretation.

Du Yi and his wife came to seek revenge because of the unjust death of the county order and others, and found their descendants, the owner of the musical instrument store and others. And Liu Xin burned the county order family to avenge herself, and at the same time, she also had a grudge against the owner of the musical instrument store and others.

Now Liu Xin is asking Du Yi and his wife to let go of their obsession and let go of the owner of the musical instrument store and others. It seems that everything has been arranged in the dark for a long time, and it is really a cycle of cause and effect.
