Chapter 424: Slaughter
The woman talked to the farmer. No matter what the relationship between the two of them is. Whether it is a master or servant, or a relativeβ€ it is a family. But King Jizo stood aside without embarrassment, and listened to them, and even I felt a little embarrassed.
Sure enough, the woman turned around, frowned, and asked, "Daoist, why are you standing here?" What we discussed has something to do with my family. β
Jizo smiled, "I saved you just now, and now, I want a little money." β
The woman frowned and said, "You want to blackmail?" β
Jizo smiled and shook his head, "I don't have that plan, but." I think you seem to want to cross the river and tear down the bridge. β
The farmer, perhaps still grateful to the king of Jizo, said to the woman, "Miss, we are farming, and we have nothing of value. If you have one, why don't you give this gentleman a little. In the past six months, he has worked hard and really hard. β
The woman's eyes were like torches, she looked at Jizo, and said, "I'm just afraid, this gentleman is relatively high-minded, and he doesn't like money." β
Jizo nodded and said, "I really don't like money. β
Then he paced back and forth in the room, circled the woman, and said, "When I was young, I traveled all over the world and saw a lot of customs and customs. β
"One day, when I was traveling to the West. I once saw a valiant leader, with his retainers, at war with the Hu people in the north who were dozens of times larger than himself. β
"It was a thrilling fight. At that time, my Taoism was not successful, and I was terrified. At the same time, I also admired this leader. Since then, the heroism of this leader has been imprinted in my mind, and it will never linger again. β
The woman stared, looked at him and asked, "What the hell are you trying to say?" β
Jizo smiled slightly, "Later, I inquired. It turned out that this leader was quite powerful in the West. A deep-rooted, centuries-old big family, almost untouched. Later, I practiced in front of this place, and gradually I achieved a little bit of success. One day half a year ago. Some rugged men came to me and wanted me to save someone. And this person is actually the leader of the year. β
He looked at the woman meaningfully: "This place is thousands of miles away from the leader's territory. Say, "Why did the chief come here?" β
Then he looked at the farmer and said, "Some strong men who are accustomed to bows and arrows, and to good horses. Why run deep into the mountains? Trying to use a wooden plough and a ploughing ox? β
The farmer lost his previous fear and apprehension, and his body showed a fierce aura. At that moment, I even felt like he had grown a little taller.
I only heard the farmer say, "It turns out that you have seen through us a long time ago. In that case, why help us? β
King Jizo said succinctly, "Curious. I wondered why the chief's family had to travel all the way to this place to heal their illness. Moreover, because of the delay on the road, only this woman survived in the end. β
The farmer looked at the woman with some hesitation.
The woman smiled, "Since Mr. wants to know." Then I'll tell you, of course. It's just that this matter is extremely dangerous, and if I die, I can't blame it. β
King Jizo nodded: "This is natural. β
The woman said: "We don't have a way to see a doctor in the area. First, this disease can only be cured by Taoist priests. And the Taoist priests of Middle-earth are the most outstanding in the world. Second, we were running for our lives all the way, and there was no time to stop. It wasn't until they fled here that they threw off their pursuers. β
Jizo asked again, "Chaser?" Have you offended anyone in the West? β
The woman shook her head: "Do you think that these yin qi on my body are done by people?" Then, she said very clearly: "They are not people. I don't know what they areβ€ they're not human. β
Jizo was so smart that he immediately asked, "Is the injury on your body related to what Ling Zun wants you to do?" β
The woman nodded. Then he looked meaningfully at Jizo: "What? Sir also interested? β
Jizo smiled and nodded, "Someone or something that can cause this kind of injury." It must be powerful. We cultivators have been pursuing this power all our lives. Now that I've finally seen it, I naturally don't want to let it go. β
The farmer interjected, "After all, this is a family affair of the master's family. β
The woman waved her hand and asked, "Did my father ever say that no outsiders were allowed to interfere?" β
The farmer shook his head and said, "Not really. β
The woman smiled slightly: "That's fine." Then he smiled at the king of Jizo, "I don't mind if there is one more person to die." β
King Jizo said, "Now tell me, what is that?" β
The woman shook her head slightly and said, "The order of the family is that I must get that thing myself." So, sir, I can give you a portion of the benefits, but I can't tell you the whole plan. Otherwise, if you see the riches, you will kill me, but what is good? β
This is said very bluntly, and it is clear that he does not trust the king of Jizo.
However, King Jizo was not annoyed, nodded and said, "Okay." The girl is really thoughtful. β
The woman said, "Since the gentleman has decided to join us." Can I make a small request? β
Jizo said, "Just mention it." β
The woman said, "I hope Mr. won't move yet." Wait for me for a moment. β
Jizo hasn't figured out what's going on yet. The woman suddenly drew the peachwood sword from her bosom, and then stabbed the farmer in the throat with her backhand.
The farmer's eyes widened, and he slowly knelt down.
The woman drew her sword. Blood spurted from the inside of the farmer's throat. Sprayed on the wall, but also on the coffin in mid-air.
At this moment, even the Jizo King Bodhisattva, who had always been calm, couldn't help but say, "What are you doing here?" Good and decent, why did you kill him? β
The woman said, "This kind of person is also worthy of touching my body?" I'm going to give him a good one, it's already cheap. It's not just him, the whole village deserves to die. What's more, they are slaves to my family. Save me, that's what they're supposed to do. They were killed because they had committed a mortal offense. β
The woman who was gentle and elegant just now turned into a demon in an instant. I watched from the outside with a shudder, and secretly warned myself: "It seems that all women who have slept in coffins are demons." β
After the woman shouted viciously, she suddenly looked back at King Jizo with a complicated expression. She put it on, her face full of evil color: "But don't worry, sir. You're different from them. β
Then, ignoring the look of King Jizo, she strode out.
I crawled and hid in a corner.
The woman strode out of the courtyard. He was followed by the dejected King Jizo.
Ten minutes later. A fire erupted from inside the village. Immediately afterwards, there were the cries of children, the cries of women, and the pleading of old men.
What's going on here, don't ask yourself.
I also came out dejected. I want to take action and save these villagers. But I didn't do that. What I see is just my memory. There is actually no difference between making a shot and not making a shot.
I looked at the village from afar. There were two figures inside. The king of Jizo who stood straight, and the woman who ran in the firelight.
The old and weak women and children were driven into the fire by her. Soon, they were all burned to death.
The Bodhisattva of the Earth, the king of Jizo who saved the suffering in this life, actually stood by and watched in the previous life.
Buddhism talks about cause and effect. Perhaps, today, he has planted a cause, and this cause has continued to grow and grow, and finally in the underworld, he has grown into the fruit of "all sentient beings have crossed over, and Bodhi is proven, hell is not empty, and he vows not to become a Buddha".
Those imps of the underworld suffered in the eighteen hells to atone for their sins. And the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth is bent on surpassing them, is he repenting for himself?
The laws of heaven and earth are not clear to man. I could only shake my head and sigh as I watched the village reduce to ashes.
Then, the woman walked out of the rubble, covered in blood. It's rare that she still maintains her elegance at this time. She said to King Jizo, "Sir, isn't it time for us to go on our way?" β
Jizo moved his lips, and then whispered, "Before leaving, I have to say goodbye to my junior brother." Then, he turned and walked in the other direction.
The woman chuckled and followed him.
