Listening to the description of the neighbor, the man wanted to drip blood in his heart, but who could he blame?

The neighbor's apology, for him, did not mean anything.

Like a walking corpse, he returned home with a heart that was numb to pain.

The door was open, the woman was gone, and he looked around, but saw only one of the woman's shoes.

Early the next morning, someone came to inform him that a headless body had been found in front of Hui Niang's grave. The man staggered to the grave, confirmed the woman's identity, and recognized the wound on the woman's body.

The woman had been bitten off her neck by a huge locust, and he had only seen one of them.

Instead of burying the woman, he returned home with her body in his arms.

When night fell, he finally waited for his son, who pulled open his clothes and begged him to bite himself like a woman. He wanted atonement for his sins, he wanted his son to forgive him.

But he just gathered his wings, stared at him with a pair of green eyes, and told him what had happened to him.

After hearing what happened to the child, he took the woman's body to the temple and ordained him.

"You became a monk at the request of your child?"

With a child who can turn into locusts, the old monk seems not surprised that cats can speak. He recited Amitabha Buddha to the kitten, bowed his head and said, "It was my own idea, and I wanted to atone for his sins in this way." He only told me what happened to me, and he only told me that he wanted me to live well, preferably a hundred years old. I knew he was torturing me in this way. ”

The reason why the old monk became a monk was to let his children see his repentance, but his repentance was very ridiculous in the eyes of his children.

Over the years, his children have eaten the entire village in front of him, but he can't do anything about it.

He faced the Buddha, but the Buddha could not hear his pleas. He understood that his sins were too heavy for the Buddha to cross him.

The old monk raised his eyes and looked at Nan Jinyi, who had already walked in front of him: "I know that I was wrong, if I can do it all over again, I will not make those mistakes again." But girl, there is no way to retake it in this world. ”

Nan Jinyi stroked the top of his head and asked, "What are the mistakes you are talking about?" Won't you go into the city to sell furs? Will it warm your heart to Hui Niang at first sight? Will you marry Huiniang and have children, or will you not meet that woman and abandon your family and children with that woman? Or, come back a year earlier to save his wife, children and parents from fire and water. ”

The old monk raised his cloudy eyes and kept chanting Amitabha Buddha in his mouth. Nan Jinyi asked him, why didn't he ask himself. If everything could be done all over again, he might have made the same mistake. Because before he met that woman, he thought he loved Hui Niang, and he thought that he and Hui Niang could live a lifetime, but when that woman appeared, everything that happened between him and Hui Niang became a promise.

He's sorry for Huiniang, sorry for that woman, sorry for the child, and even more sorry for himself.

He was a sinner who could not even redeem himself.

"No wonder the Buddha won't save me." The old monk muttered, "Ask the girl to help me get free!" ”

Nan Jinyi pressed the old monk's head down, and the old monk's skeleton instantly shattered into powder, and a mouthful of gray-white turbidity flew over Nan Jinyi's shoulder to the kitchen.

The floor of the kitchen began to loosen, the surrounding houses began to collapse, and a huge black locust emerged from the back of the yard.

Nan Jinyi told the cat demon to let her protect Liu Hanshan, while holding a red umbrella and attacking the locusts. Although the locust was fierce, it was a paper tiger with little offensive power, and within a few blows, it was knocked down by Nan Jinyi and fell into the pile of powder made of white bones.

The locust gasped and turned into a beggar, and the beggar stared at Nan Jinyi with indignation.

Nan Jinyi hooked her lips and smiled, took out a few paper talismans and threw them over.

The beggar tried to escape, but was entangled in a rope made of paper talismans.

"Tell me, who told you to do that?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." The beggar turned his head and tried to break free from the rune paper on his body.

"Who asked you to collect those bride souls in Dongze Township? And those jade butterflies, who gave them to you. ”

"It's me." The old beggar snorted lightly: "Those brides' souls are the most delicious, I will eat them, and I will care about you." ”

"Lying child, owe beat!" Nan Jinyi picked up the red umbrella and twitched it on the old beggar's back, the old beggar was in pain, and his body curled up.

"Say, if you don't say anything, I'll beat you."

"You don't believe me when I say it." The old beggar muttered, his eyes slipped to the umbrella in Nan Jinyi's hand.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that what you said can't fool me." Nan Jinyi circled around the old beggar, and without taking a step, he struck him with a red umbrella. With each blow, countless black locusts fell from his beggar's robes. Nan Jinyi stepped on one by one, and soon stepped on a black circle around the old beggar.

The old beggar panicked and hurriedly pleaded: "It was a Taoist priest who asked me to do it." ”

"What kind of Taoist priest?" Nan Jinyi stopped.

"Just an unremarkable-looking, ordinary Taoist priest." The old beggar said, "He is missing an arm and has difficulty moving, but there is nothing different from others." ”

Nan Jinyi searched for her memory, and a similar image of a Taoist priest seemed to have only been mentioned by Liu Sisi, but this Taoist priest had nothing to do with her life.

"What else?" Nan Jinyi asked again, picking up the red umbrella in his hand.

"He saved my life." The old beggar spoke: "I met him in the mountain temple, and it was he who gave me a black locust and told me that if I wanted to live, I would eat the locust." Without any hesitation, I grabbed the locust and swallowed it. I remember the feeling of hunger, the feeling of locusts passing through my throat, and the smell of locusts. ”

The old beggar's expression became extremely strange, and he twisted his neck and said, "Have you ever eaten locusts?" The taste of raw locusts is too special. If I had a choice, I'd rather never eat it in my life. ”

"I've eaten everything, and what are you doing with such hypocritical words." The cat demon snorted: "The taste of raw fish is not necessarily better than that of locusts, and I haven't eaten it for hundreds of years." ”

Liu Hanshan frowned, looked at the cat demon and asked, "Why don't you cook the fish before eating it, you are not an ordinary cat, you are a cat who has become a spirit." ”

The cat demon rolled his eyes and said, "Trouble! ”

Liu Hanshan shook his head and said: "Lazy, lazy when you are a cat, and even lazier when you are a cat demon." ”

The old beggar ignored the bickering between the cat demon and Liu Hanshan, and he told Nan Jinyi that the jade butterfly was given by the Taoist priest, and the bride was chosen by the Taoist priest, and he just went to the river beach at a fixed time to collect a fixed soul according to the Taoist priest's arrangement. As for what the Taoist priest wanted to do with those bride's souls, the Taoist priest didn't say, and he didn't ask. In exchange, the Taoist priest kept his father alive forever, immortal.

Speaking of this, the old beggar suddenly changed his expression, he looked at the red umbrella in Nan Jinyi's hand and said, "That umbrella should be able to kill me, right?" ”
