Her body suddenly warmed, and she was hugged tightly by Wei Xiao, and he gently held her hands: "Don't be afraid, Qingyin, don't be afraid." ”

The warm words carried an unspeakable power that slowly calmed the trembling girl.

"Later, later," Xin Di paused, as if to reminisce about the scene, "the weak-looking white-robed monk suddenly rose from the bow of the boat and said to me the first thing in five days: 'Wait for me. He stepped on the side of the boat on tiptoe, flew up the riverbank, and landed right in front of the three men. ”

"The three big men were originally startled, but when they saw that the person standing in front of them was only a weak and quiet white-clothed monk, and he didn't look like he had any profound mana, they couldn't help laughing and said, 'The monk doesn't follow the rules, do you want to come and get a piece of the pie?'"

"The white-clothed monk clasped his hands together, bowed his head and said, 'Heaven has the virtue of a good life, can the three benefactors let this girl go for the sake of the poor monk's face?'"

"The three big men laughed and said, 'This monk is so ignorant, don't you know that this place is called 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow', and the three of us brothers are known here as the 'Three Tyrants of the Mixed Yuan', and they are the wicked among the wicked, and you even persuade us to put down the butcher's knife and become Buddhas on the spot, isn't it very funny?'"

"One of the big men pointed to an extremely ugly black mark on his right cheek and said, 'Monk, do you recognize it?

"Another big man put a knife on the monk's neck and said, 'I heard that the Buddhists talk about retribution, what you kill in this life, what will you do in the next life, why don't we kill this monk first, and see if we will become a monk in the next life, how about it?'

When they had finished, they heard the monk say 'yes' as well. The three big men said strangely: 'Monk, we are going to kill you, and you also say okay, aren't you afraid of death?'"

"The monk said, 'What is so terrible about death? For us who practice Buddhism, death is just a move from the dilapidated and decaying house of the body, and the soul is moved out of the dilapidated and decaying house of the body, and returns to the lofty and far-reaching home, just like the deer returns to the wild, the bird returns to the void, and the real person returns to extinction. Please help me move!'"

Qingyin whispered to Wei Xiao: "This is what is said in the "Exodus Sutra", I heard the master mention it before his death. ”

Wei Xiao nodded and stroked her hair.

I only heard Xin Di say: "The white-clothed monk urged repeatedly, but the big men were puzzled and didn't dare to start, and then the girl who was lying on the ground got up and sneered at them: 'Aren't you three known as the 'Three Tyrants of the Mixed Yuan'? Why don't you dare to do anything to an unarmed monk? If you don't kill him today, don't even think about raising your head in the place of 'ghost sorrow' in the future!"

"The three of them said: 'Stinky girl, you are not a good person, otherwise you would not be exiled to this wild land like us! You and we are just a raccoon dog, don't laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps! You have the ability to kill this monk, and we will let you go!'"

The placket of the girl's chest was torn, revealing her white and tender chest, but she was not embarrassed at all, her hair was scattered, and she looked at the three people: 'That's good! ”

Hearing this, Qingyin's delicate eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and said, "Why is this girl like this, the monk is here to save her, she actually wants to kill the monk in exchange for her own life!"

Wei Xiao said: "Maybe she has lived in that wild place for a long time, in such an environment where the law of the jungle eats the strong, you live and die, the only thing she has learned is to survive! Just like fighting with the evil dragon for too long, she will become an evil dragon herself, staring into the abyss for a long time, and the abyss will also stare back." In such a place, no matter how good people are, they will eventually be forced to show their evil side. ”

Qingyin nodded and said to Xin Di, "Then what happened later, did that girl kill that monk?"

Xin Di said: "The girl walked towards the monk, looked at him with a very charming look, her complexion was scattered, but her eyes were like silk, she touched her hair, and said, 'Monk, you are here to save me, I want to kill you instead, will you hate me before you die?'"

"The monk still lowered his head, looked at his nose and mouth, and looked at his heart, as if he was not moved by her appearance at all, and said: 'Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, if I die, I can exchange your life, then my life is also worth it.' ’”

The girl came a little closer, her body almost touching the monk, she stroked his chin, and said in an unusually coquettish tone: 'But what do I think of the monk, you blush a little?, do you like me?' Then her right hand, which was holding her hair, suddenly pulled out six or seven silver needles, threw them at the three big men next to her, and at the same time pushed the monk with her left hand, and said loudly: 'Monk, run! I'll stop them for you!'"

"What she threw out was the 'phoenix tail needle', the needle emitted a brilliant color, which can make people hallucinate, the three big men were close at hand, caught off guard, hit the poisonous needle, and suddenly couldn't move. The girl said to the monk, 'Go away!' They are so powerful that I can only stop them for a while, and if it's too late, they won't be able to leave!' But the monk didn't run, and said, 'If I leave, what will you do?' The girl smiled sadly: 'I am also a wicked person who has been exiled to this wild land, and I have been cursed by the forbidden spell, and I can't leave here!'"

"At this moment, the three big men moved their hands and feet slightly, and the girl hurriedly pushed the monk: 'You go quickly! Your life-saving grace, the butterfly will remember it for the rest of your life, if there is fate, we will see you in the next life!' The monk sighed: 'You said this, you know that you will die!' As soon as the words fell, the sword flashed, and the three big men had broken the illusion, and the three knives slashed at the girl at the same time, and at the same time roared angrily: 'Demon girl, use this kind of trickery with us, and break your body into ten thousand pieces today, so that even after death, your soul will never return to your hometown!'"

The girl named Butterfly knew that she was no match for these three men, so she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and calmly died. At the moment when the sword light fell, there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, which made her blood-stained face show a special beauty. ”

"The monk clasped his hands together, bowed his head and recited the Buddha, and muttered: 'I once swore in front of the Buddha that I would not kill anyone in this life, and that I would cross the evil ways of the world. Then with a wave of his hand, the white sleeves were raised, and the sleeves flew like a piece of light like moonlight, and the three big men fell down and died. ”

When she opened her eyes, she saw three big men dead at the hands of a white-clothed monk who looked so weak, and knowing that she had met a master, she immediately fell to her knees and hugged his legs and begged him to take her away. The monk recited the mantra and drew a circle of golden light above her head, saying, 'I have lifted the ban for you, but if you still have evil thoughts in your heart, you can't leave this place, and you can't leave unless the evil thoughts in your heart are gone.' ’”

Butterfly nodded again and again, and followed the monk into my ferry. When the boat left the ferry, a layer of golden light floated on her body, and she was unexpectedly free from the ghost and sorrow. ”

When Qingyin heard this, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief, clapped her hands and said, "This girl was finally rescued, such an ending is really excellent, and it is very happy!"

Xin Di sighed and shook his head.

Wei Xiao looked at him and said, "Could it be that this girl named Butterfly Nightmare followed the white-clothed monk, what happened to her?"

Xin Di said: "The white-clothed monk went to Santuchuan, and he brought a girl with him, which was really inconvenient, and he repeatedly wanted to drive the girl off the boat, but the girl resolutely refused, only saying that he was saved by him, and his life was his." The monk had no choice but to tell the truth: 'The place where I want to go out is one of the most dangerous places in the Three Realms, and even I don't know if I can get out alive, so I can't take you with me. ’”

"Unexpectedly, when the butterfly heard this, she was very happy, and said: 'My life is saved by you, I am sad and have no way to repay it, just go with the monk you, if you live, I will live, if you die, I will die, I should repay your kindness!' She had a smile on her face, like a flower and a butterfly, just like her name, and saw that the monk was stunned, and instantly seemed to be enchanted, and after this daze, she missed the last ferry and could not go ashore again. ”

Qingyin said: "Uncle Xin, you can also row the boat back!"

Xin Di said: "The water flow to Santu River has only the way out, and there is no return." ”

Qingyin said: "Then what happened later? Did they go to Santu River together?"

Xin Di nodded: "When they arrived at the Santu River together, the butterfly was stunned, the Santu River was not as she imagined, it was the convergence point of the three rivers in the middle of the herringbone, but the boat they came came along a parallel river, and the other river flowed towards the sky, as high as dozens of zhang, boundless, as if silk was fluttering towards the sky, while the third river was flowing downward, the water was pouring down along the sharp steep slope, and the water was turbulent, as if the boat would be quickly washed down and shattered when it reached there. ”

"At the intersection of the river of the human world and the river of the underworld of the Santugawa River, there is a palace made of bricks and stones. The palace was not as splendid as the palace on earth, but crooked and ugly, and from time to time there were terrible sounds from the palace, like a terrible wail, as if some terrible monster was imprisoned in it. The white-robed monk went ashore and said to me, "It would be fine for him to go in alone, and if I don't see him come out of the palace for three hours, tell me to leave quickly with the butterfly." ”

Butterfly originally wanted to follow up, but the white-clothed monk stopped her, saying that the Santu River is the intersection of the three worlds of heaven, the underworld, and the human, and in such a place, many spells will fail, and she may encounter great danger if she goes, so she should wait for him here with peace of mind. Butterfly had seen the magic power of the white-clothed monk, and knew that he was not even one ten-thousandth of him, so he listened to him and waited obediently outside the palace. ”

At this time, time passes imperceptibly. The sun is not visible in the Santu River, but the sun will shine here, so I silently judge how long the time has passed by the angle of the sun shining on the palace. Nightmare had been patient, but as time went on, she became more and more anxious, stood up, and walked up and down the ferry, looking at the palace from time to time, listening to the sounds of the palace. ”

Strange to say, since the white-clothed monk entered, the strange and terrifying sound in the hall gradually disappeared. At first, Butterfly and I waited expectantly, but as the shadow of the sun on the pillars of the palace gradually tilted, Butterfly became more and more breathless, and finally said, 'I'll go inside!'"

"I said, 'Have you forgotten?' The white-clothed monk told us to wait outside the hall. Butterfly retorted, 'But it's almost three hours now, and he hasn't come out yet, don't you think he's in danger?' Maybe he's dying at the moment, waiting for us to come to his rescue, and if I do nothing stupidly here, if he dies inside, I think I'll regret it for the rest of my life.'"

"I looked at the time, and it was almost three hours past, and when I saw that the butterfly had made up my mind, I knew that I could not dissuade her, so I had to let her go. ”

"I watched as the butterfly stepped on the bow of the boat, jumped ashore, and hurried towards the palace, and the slender figure quickly disappeared into the palace, as if swallowed by a huge beast, but I couldn't help but worry in my heart: 'That palace, but the legendary 'Labyrinth of the Dead', will she die in it with the white-clothed monk and never return to the ship?'"

I looked down at my ferry, which was empty, and it was getting late, and a cold wind was blowing, which made my heart tense involuntarily. ”
