Chapter 165: Sins in the Heart

The bun stall vendor looked at the young monk in front of him strangely, startled, afraid that he was not very smart, so he beckoned to other passers-by and ignored him.

There are still a lot of people outside the spectators, coming and going, and everyone doesn't pay attention to this little monk who is in a daze with a bite of a bun on the side of the road.

But I don't know how turbulent this little monk's heart is.

What the hell is going on, what happened in the secret realm that day, he went crazy and killed countless innocent people, and almost tried to cut himself, was it an illusion, or was it real?

If it was real, did anyone help him cover it up? Why did they do it? Did they kill civilians at all?

As long as Ben Liang is still alive, it means that it is indeed an illusion, yes, find Ben Liang!

Yifeng grabbed a Taoist priest who was standing outside the temple and rushed to him: "Senior brother, a shuni will come out later, she is the sister of the national teacher, Master Yu of Nanzong Temple, if she looks for me, she will say that I am back to Baoxiang Temple, please!"

After speaking, he hurriedly turned around, preparing to go back to Baoxiang Temple to find the fire monkey, he was the first to know Ben Liang, and he may know the news of Ben Liang.

He took out the map, found the location of Baoxiang Temple, and hurried back.

In the Baoxiang Temple, in a courtyard.

The fire monkey and Shuli, Xiugu and Ben Qian, all sat on the stone table in the courtyard, they had already eaten their evening fast, looking at the starry sky, Ben Yuan went to sleep after eating.

The fire monkey said: "I really didn't expect that this Baoxiang Temple is so rich, and it actually bought an entire city square to build a temple, and a city square can accommodate tens of thousands of people! It is worthy of being the largest branch temple of Beizong Temple, that is, it is rich." ”

Shuli said: "Yes, it is still the location in the center of Xuanwu City, and the pilgrims and believers who come and go every day are about to squeeze out hundreds of Buddha halls." ”

The fire monkey smiled: "That's not it, every Buddha hall is so big, how can it be crowded, but when I first came, I was really shocked to see so many pilgrims and believers in Baoxiang Temple." The Buddha hall will not be crowded, but I am afraid that those senior brothers who are standing next to the merit box in front of each Buddha hall will open their mouths to squeeze their faces. ”

Xiu Gu said: "Second senior brother, you be quiet, no matter what we do, we will send people under the fence, be careful to drive you out." ”

Shuli said: "If you really want to kick us out, I'm quite happy, living in this always feels unsteady." Especially thinking that there are hundreds of thousands of disaster victims outside Junzhou who are helpless and die tragically on the side of the road, and the incense here is prosperous, ushering in and sending it away, and it is very lively, which is simply the difference between purgatory and bliss. ”

Ben Qian said: "Yes, it was because of this thought that Yifeng decided to go to Dazhuguo and the national teacher, I don't know how he is now." He looked wistfully at the night sky, as if the stars could give him the answer.

Everyone sighed.

Master Ran sat at a wooden table in a meditation room, and across from him sat a young monk, dressed in a golden monk's robe, white and thin, with a high nose and thin lips, and said to Master Ran: "Senior Brother Ran, you have worked hard along the way, Master has something to do, and it will take some time to come over, and I will be responsible for your hospitality for the time being." ”

Master Zhiran said: "Senior brother, don't be polite, we are disturbing." Uncle Juesong must have something important, and Lao Qu should wait a little longer. ”

Liye chuckled and said, "Where, since ancient times, Buddhism has been a family! It's just that the first- and second-class rooms of the small temple are all filled with pilgrims and believers, so you can only be wronged to live in the third-class rooms." During these days, I heard that Junzhou was going to hold a conference on Taoism, and there were suddenly many more people in Junzhou City, and I heard that the inns outside were crowded with people, and there were many Taoist students and other people who came to the city, and the inventory outside the city was also much tighter. ”

Master Zhiran frowned and said: "The monks have no external objects, and they are at peace with what they encounter, but it is not a big deal, so there is no need to worry about it." It's just that Baoxiang Temple will also divide the guest rooms into three, six, nine and so on, why is that?"

Liye was stunned for a moment and said: "The master came from Nanzong Temple, but he didn't know this? Those who give a lot of charity, and who have a lot of money for the incense they rejoice, should live in a better guest room! How much they have contributed to this temple, if there is no them, where would the Buddhist temple come from, where would the Buddha statue come from, and where would the fasting meal come from?"

"Those ordinary Buddhist believers, insert two sticks of turbid incense, bow to the Buddha twice, and then go, the Buddha has already received their incense, why bother to talk more? The rooms in the temple are limited, of course, there are not many things. This is the way to run the temple, otherwise, how can we maintain the diet and daily life of these tens of thousands of monks? Isn't this the case with Nanzong Temple?"

Seeing that the monk asked very seriously, Master Zhiran shook his head and said, "Amitabha, shouldn't all living beings be equal?"

Li Ye said with a smile: "All beings are equal, after all, it is a word on paper, even if all beings are equal here, then when you go to the inn outside, you have to divide it into three, six, nine and so on, and you have to divide the princes and nobles, and the peddlers and pawns?

Master Zhiran sighed and said, "Senior Brother Liye, do you know that there are hundreds of thousands of disaster victims outside Junzhou, and they are suffering from it, all because of the operation of Buddhism?"

Li Ye said with a smile: "I have vaguely heard about it! But it is not because of Buddhism, but because the government of the state border has not opened a warehouse to release grain! I heard that Emperor Dawu personally issued an edict and asked the Hubu Shangshu to solve this matter with all his might. ”

Master Zhiran said coldly: "Senior Brother Liye, how can you laugh!"

When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his face and said coldly: "What do you have to do with me? Why can't you laugh, you study the Buddhist scriptures all day long, don't you see how many of the Buddha statues in the Buddhist scriptures are laughing? If they really have spirits, can they not see the victims? Can you go and make them cry too?"

This time, Master Ran was stunned, he had never seen such a nonsense person, he was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Senior Brother Ye, you are far away." Go ahead and let the old man clean up for a while. ”

I was not happy to do anything, I got up and flicked my sleeves, snorted coldly, and said: "Senior Brother Ran, I respect you for your age, I have come to Junzhou City thousands of miles away, and I respect you very much, but I didn't expect you to rely on the old and sell the old, and play with right and wrong." It seems that none of your disciples are good people. It's good to live, if you can't get used to it, just go by yourself!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left.

In another courtyard, a figure appeared at the door, Ben Qian looked at it, and shouted happily: "Yifeng!" and ran over.

The fire monkey and Shuli also stood up and walked towards Ichikaze.

But seeing Yifeng's face gloomy, he went straight to the fire monkey, grabbed the fire monkey's arm with both hands, glared at his eyes and asked, "Second Senior Brother, after you came back from the secret realm, have you ever met Senior Brother Ben Liang of Hongguang Academy?"

The fire monkey looked dazed, he didn't know that this little junior brother went out for a trip, obviously asking for his life for the people, but suddenly came back and grabbed him and asked Ben Liang's whereabouts.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "I haven't seen it, I went to Hongguang Academy to inquire, and I heard that it didn't come out in the secret realm, and I couldn't contact it, so I don't know if it came out in the end." ”

Yifeng lowered his head, his face strained, and did not say a word.

Shuli and the others looked at each other, and after a while, Xiu Gu asked, "Yifeng, what's wrong with you?"

He shook his head, as if he wanted to get the mess out of his mind, but the more he got tighter.

The reason why he cared so much about this matter was because it was the first time he had faced killing, and it was different from all experiences, even if the two Shura, Xiao Ji and Yu Luo, had killed so many victims in front of him, but it was because of the sins of the two Shura, and the killing in the secret realm was the evil karma he had created.

What if you can't control yourself next time? Will you kill your familiar relatives?

Thinking of this, Yifeng's heart couldn't help but chill.

Shuli patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yifeng, if you have something to say, the senior brothers and sisters may be able to help you." ”

Yifeng raised his head and looked at Shuli, opened his mouth to say something, turned his head to look at Xiu Gu, swallowed the words again, and said, "It's not a big deal, I'm just a little tired." ”

After speaking, he raised his head, looked at the starry sky, and muttered helplessly, "I'm really a little tired." ”
