319. Put down the butcher knife and pick it up
Hearing the word "Huijue", the little monk Huiming's heart moved slightly.
Master Kongru lives in seclusion here, not completely cut off from the outside world.
The news of all aspects of the world outside Middle-earth is empty, and the master and apprentice of Huiming often hear it.
Naturally, you can also hear about the Nakagaku Temple, where they came from.
Monk Huijue has become famous over the years and has become the most prominent figure of the younger generation of Zhongyue Temple.
The master and apprentice also talked about it.
For Huiming, today is the first time to meet the other party's real person in person.
Hui Jue clasped his palms together and saluted the two brothers Hui Jing and Hui Mingshi.
The little monk Huiming hurriedly returned the salute.
"This is Senior Brother Huiming, right?" Huijue smiled: "Senior Brother has just returned from a trip?"
"It's just to walk into the WTO and experience the people's feelings. The little monk Huiming replied.
"The wisdom of the junior and younger brothers is deeply rooted, and there will be achievements in the future. Huijue nodded and said goodbye to Huiming.
Huijing sent him down the mountain.
The little monk Huiming wondered why the other party suddenly visited.
He thought as he stepped into the temple.
In the temple, an old monk is meditating and chanting sutras at the end of the day.
"Master, the disciple is back. ”
Hui Ming came to the other party and bowed deeply.
The chanting ended, and the old monk opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "It's good to come back." ”
He beckoned Hui Ming to sit down, but he didn't ask Hui Ming about his previous experience, he just said: "The second half of the Vajra Realm Method, you can go and copy it, just silence 30,000 times first." ”
"Yes, Master. ”
Huiming did not show joy on his face, but first reported his previous experience, regardless of details, all of them to his teacher.
Finally, he handed the letter of "Mr. He" to Master Kongru.
After Master Kongru took the letter, he didn't open it for the first time, but picked a few details about Huiming's previous report and asked again.
After Hui Ming answered them one by one, Master Kongru did not speak again, and fell into silence.
"Master......" Hui Ming called softly.
Master Empty raised his eyes and looked at his little apprentice.
Huiming tried to ask, "Does Master know who the real identity of the person presiding over Chang'an is?"
"Nope. ”
Master Kongru shook his head: "I can't guess the identity of the city lord of Chang'an at the moment, but since the 'Ape Dragon King' Ao Kong has settled in Chang'an, then the city lord of Chang'an may also be from the twelve Yamas." ”
"Master, I heard that the Twelve Yamas suffered a catastrophe together in the past, and it is rare that the Ape Dragon King survived, could it be that everyone else is fine?" Hui Ming couldn't help but ask.
Master Kongru shook his head: "I haven't experienced it as a teacher, I just heard about it, but it is said that people did not die clean at that time, and there were those who escaped from the twelve Yamas."
What's more, except for those who practice martial arts, when they reach their realm, they die on the spot, and they may not really die.
Everyone may secretly have left the method of rebirth for death and reincarnation. ”
The old monk stopped: "What's more, there is news that there were only eleven of the twelve Yamas at that time, and the seventh-ranked 'Sword Demon' Su Po was missing. ”
"In this way, the sudden appearance of Chang'an City may indeed be the comeback of the Twelve Yamas, and then the Ape Dragon King will be found, and the righteous brothers will be reunited. ”
Huiming nodded: "I heard that the Twelve Yamas were rampant back then, treating human life like a mustard, and being cruel and unkind.
But what the disciple saw and heard in Chang'an City, although the lord of Chang'an City was majestic, he often practiced benevolent government, and he really loved the people like a son.
It can be seen that the Ape Dragon King has a violent temperament, but he was admonished by the city lord of Chang'an and restrained many murderous habits in the past.
It is also for this reason that the disciples are willing to help Chang'an unify Eastern Xinjiang, so that all the people in Eastern Xinjiang can live a better life than before. ”
Even if Chang'an now takes the initiative to start a war and set foot in Middle-earth, Huiming will not resist.
The people under the rule of the six great dynasties of Middle-earth lived a better life than the people of Eastern Xinjiang.
But that's because Middle-earth is far richer than East.
If you really want to say that the governance of those in power is even more stringent than that of the seven dynasties of Eastern Xinjiang in the past.
To a certain extent, the higher the cultivation level of a considerable number of cultivators or rulers, the farther away from the secular people, the less serious they are about the lives of ordinary people.
The psychological distance between the two sides is probably even farther than physically.
"Although I don't know if it has anything to do with the events of the past, after all, more than 30 years have passed, and people can change. ”
Master Kongru looked at his disciple with a smile: "Some people may go from good to evil, but they may also put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." ”
Hui Ming shook his head when he heard this: "What Master said is true." ”
Master Kongru muttered: "Speaking of which, the Mr. He you said made the teacher involuntarily think of the great sins of the past. ”
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the letter in his hand.
In the past, the Twelve Yamas covered the entire Middle Earth, and now, many years later, the little monk Huiming is also nervous.
He watched as his master unfolded the envelope.
There was no text on the stationery inside, but a picture.
The painting shows a woman, who looks about her twenties, with a beautiful and lifelike face.
In particular, there seems to be light in his eyes, rushing out of the paper.
It's just that the sight seems soft, but it hides fierceness and loneliness.
"Master, this is ......" the little monk Huiming looked at his teacher.
He had never seen this woman in Chang'an.
"In the past, the twelfth of the twelve Yamas, Shen Herong, Shen Herong. Master Kongru sighed lightly: "In a blink of an eye, decades have passed......"
The woman in the painting seemed to come to life at this time, and suddenly spoke: "To be precise, it is thirty-nine years, master, long time gone." ”
Master Kongru knew that it was the other party's face: "Congratulations to Master Shen Shi for getting rid of suffering and reincarnating, and please say hello to Lord Ao and Lord Chang'an on behalf of the poor monks." ”
"This is certain, Master Xie cares. ”
The woman in the painting continued: "The reason why Huiming brought the letter to the master this time was because there was a matter to discuss. ”
Empty as a master's jaw: "Donor, please talk about ......"
Monk Huijing sent Huijue of Zhongyue Temple down the mountain, and then returned to the temple, where he saw his little brother Huiming waiting outside.
"Master is talking to the people in Chang'an. Hui Ming said.
Huijing was slightly surprised: "Chang'an?"
Huiming nodded, and then told the second senior brother about his experience in the past few years.
At the end, he said: "Master said that the people who came from Zhongyue Temple just now are also related to Chang'an. ”
Monk Huijing exhaled a long breath: "I see. ”
"Second Senior Brother, what happened to you just now?" asked Hui Ming at this time.
After a moment of silence, Monk Huijing spoke: "Senior brother, I am in the company of people in the evil path, and I have broken away from the master, and I will not come back in the future. ”
Hui Ming was like being struck by lightning, and he was cold on the spot.
His mind raced across the face of Senior Brother Huixing.
At the same time, the words of the teacher, such as the previous sentence "Some people may go from good to evil, but they may also put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot", once again sounded in Huiming's mind.
Only then did he understand why Master's expression was a little complicated at that time.
The person who made Master Kongru sigh may not be the Chang'an City Lord and the Twelve Yamas, but the apprentices who turned their backs on him.
"Why on earth did Senior Brother do this?" Hui Ming asked in a bitter voice, "Where is he now?"
"He went with the Six Murderers of the North Sea, and now his whereabouts are unknown. Monk Huijing's expression was equally gloomy.
Huiming opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak for a while.
Compared to the Twelve Yamas, who had disappeared before he was born, the Six Murderers of the North Sea were a little more familiar.
It was the cult figures that had emerged in the last twenty years after the Twelve Yamas had disappeared.
Compared with the twelve Yamas who were rampant in the world in the past, these juniors are not so beautiful, but they are all fierce stars for a while.
Over the years, it has attracted famous holy places such as Taiqing Palace, Zhongyue Temple, and Yansheng Mansion, as well as six major dynasties to encircle and suppress them.
In such an environment, the gathering of the six evils in Beihai not only effectively imitates the meaning of the twelve Yamas in the past, but also has the objective need to huddle together for warmth.
Middle-earth could not accommodate them, and they were forced to retreat to the barren seas of northern Middle-earth.
Because the sea environment is complex and vast, they can always get rid of the encirclement and suppression.
As a result, it was gradually called the Six Murderers of the North Sea by the forces of Middle-earth.
Over the years, they have also come ashore from time to time, but most of the time they have taken refuge at sea.
But Huiming really didn't expect that this time it would be like this.
"Master, what do you say?" the young monk asked a little unwillingly.
The young monk was silent again before he spoke, "Master is willing to receive a slap from Senior Brother, Senior Brother...... It's really good to get started. ”
Huiming closed his eyes in pain.
After a long time, he opened his eyes again: "Someday, I will find him!"
Huijing nodded silently.
At this time, there was a calm voice from the temple: "Huijing, Huiming, come in." ”
The two brothers entered according to their words, and Master Kongru had already received the letter from Shen Herong at this time, he turned around and took out a Zen staff and handed it to the two apprentices in front of him.
Huijing took it carefully: "Master, your eight-leaf Zen staff has not been used for many years......"
Master Kongru nodded: "When it should be used, it will naturally come in handy, Huijing, you will go to Chang'an City with Huiming next." ”
Hui Ming and Hui Jing were surprised: "Then Master, there is no one around you to serve." ”
"When you were confiscated, the poor monk was also a loner. ”
Master Kongru smiled: "After a few days for the teacher, I will leave here." ”
"Master, where Chang'an is, it was the twelve Yan compasses in the past......" Huijing had already heard Huiming talk about it.
"Huijing, you might as well go there and see for yourself. "Empty as the master said.
"Yes, Master. Huijing took the eight-leaf Zen staff, bid farewell to Master Kongru with Huiming, and left this barren mountain.
Walking on the road, Huiming couldn't help but ask, "Is Master going to find Senior Brother?"
"It's possible, but that's still not our big brother, but it's not necessarily. ”
Huijing sighed: "Master's previous injuries have healed, I'm afraid I really have to go to him to clean the portal." ”
Hui Ming's expression was gloomy.
The two brothers went all the way south to the Zhao family's imperial Jiangdong Road.
However, halfway down the road, someone suddenly stood in front of them.
They are familiar with the comers.
They were just separated before.
"Please stay with you. "It is the Huijue monk of Zhongyue Temple.
