With a "jingle bell", the green snake sword smashed into the stone on the ground, bursting out with a spark.

The scene Shuli saw disappeared all at once, and he looked up suddenly, only to see countless golden runes slowly dissipating into the air.

He looked around and found himself still standing on the wasteland, with the monk in front of him still standing in his way, and behind him, the corpses of the former elder of the scholar and his wife and children.

The juniors and disciples next to him were all pale and sat on the ground, gasping for air.

Shuli recalled the scene just now, and his heart palpitated.

He bent down and squatted down to pick up the green snake, trying to stand up, but found that his whole body was sweating and his body had no strength.

He raised his head with red eyes, stared at the monk in front of him, and asked, "Old monk, what you just showed us, the elder in the clan saved the little junior sister, but is it true?"

"Fake. The monk said lightly.

"Damn, this bald donkey is playing with us!" The junior brother next to him scolded loudly, he also wanted to get up and continue to scold, but he didn't expect to move a few times, and found that he still couldn't stand up, so he could only sit on the ground and gasp.

"It can also be true. Unmoved, the monk continued: "Good and evil are far from being as simple as you think, and everything has different interpretations from different angles.

"In the face of unknown truths, there are countless possibilities, and this one is not excluded. If it is as I have shown, then the slaughter you have done will be punished in Hell. ”

"What you said is nonsense, there is a possibility that you said, there is also the possibility that he killed his clansmen, it is possible, then you are in peace with the mud!" Shuli's face turned pale, and he snorted coldly, "Or you monks, you have always liked to play with the edge, blurring good and evil, and being self-righteous?"

The poor monk had no intention of doing so. Now this world is chaotic, the entire Dawu country is surging, Yunzhou is no exception, the various sects and the calligrapher-controlled Qifeng City are competing to become the strongest force in Yunzhou, has developed from the conflict of ideas to the secular duel, attacking each other, the conflict continues, according to Jiangyuan even a small-scale war.

"The killing you made today is actually the epitome of the increasingly serious contradictions, not to mention the calligraphers and the Xuanyin faction, and even my Buddhist Nanzong Temple can't be left alone, and it is inevitable that you will be involved in this riot.

"In these troubled times, as propagators of the Dharma, poor monks must enter the world, awaken people, lead people to goodness, avoid more bloodshed and killing, and prevent this world from becoming a Shura hell. "The monk folded his hands and was pious.

Shuli was surprised, but his face was calm.

This time, he just carried out the family laws and orders of the calligrapher as usual, and he was far from thinking about it so much, and he never imagined that this matter was so complicated and would involve several major forces in Yunzhou. When he was cultivating and performing tasks in the Weidao Academy, he had also heard about the current situation in Yunzhou, but he couldn't relate to today's events.

"And what are you going to do today?" Shuli asked coldly.

"Shu'an, come here. The monk suddenly turned his head and said to the youngest junior brother in the back.

Shuli and the rest of the people were taken aback, their faces changed, and they turned their heads to look at the junior brother.

The junior brother didn't say a word, slowly stood up, held his sword, and walked forward step by step.

The junior disciple next to Shuli was the first to react, stood up suddenly, and stopped Shu'an.

Shuli's face was extremely ugly, this little junior brother grew up with him since he was a child, as if he would always follow behind his ass, he usually likes to talk and laugh, and has a lively personality, he and all the senior brothers like him very much.

But he would never have thought that this little junior brother would actually betray his family and betray his family! What Shuli hated even more was that he had been with him for many years, and he didn't even notice it, and he couldn't help but feel guilty and hateful in his heart, which was very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Shu'an didn't back down, just quietly looked at the senior brother in front of him, although his face was also pale, but his expression was very firm.

The two looked at each other for a moment like two angry leopards, Shu'an stretched out his arm, lightly pushed away the senior brother who was blocking in front of him, and walked towards the monk without saying a word.

"Don't come back after you're gone!" The senior brother stomped his feet anxiously behind Shu'an's back, but he didn't know what to do for a while.

Shuli stood up and walked towards Shu'an.

Shu An heard the footsteps behind him and stopped, he turned around and looked at the senior brother who grew up with him and is still his admirer.

"Big brother. Shu'an screamed softly, but did not bow his head.

"This is the last time you'll call me that, and you won't have a chance again. Shuli held the green snake in his hand tightly.

Shu'an glanced at Senior Brother and said lightly, "Senior Brother, are you going to kill me?"

Shuli didn't speak, and raised his sword-wielding arm.

Shu'an did not retreat, standing there, like a small pine tree greeting the wind, immature but upright.

Shuli's face turned ruthless, and he stabbed out with a sword, and the juniors and disciples behind him screamed in surprise.

The cyan sword blade stabbed out, and the silk brilliance lingered around the sword body like several bamboo leaf green snakes, intertwining with each other when it was stabbed, forming a cyan dragon shadow.

He didn't stay behind, he believed that Shu An had the strength to dodge this sword, which was also the capital that Shu An could follow him here to carry out a secret mission.

Blood poured out of Shu'an's white clothes, dripping along the blade of the sword and dripping into the dirt beneath his feet.

Shuli seemed to be able to hear the moment the sword blade gently pierced Shu'an's body, the almost silent tearing sensation, the sword blade pierced his clothes, pierced into his flesh, and felt the sharpness and slight tremor of the sword blade in his fingertips.

Blood, dripping from the blade of the sword.

The monk behind Shu'an didn't expect this situation, his face changed, and he wanted to rush over to stop it, but it was too late.

Shuli's eyes widened, bloodshot and shocked.

"Why don't you hide?" Shuli's voice was hoarse, almost roaring, mixed with inexplicable anger.

"Why should I hide?" Shu An smiled, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, "You're right, I'm indeed the one who betrayed my family and betrayed my teacher, and I should accept such a punishment." ”

"But ah", Shu An looked up at the sky and muttered, "I am indeed tired of the family's struggle for power, every dark collision and bloody battle has made my heart darker, senior brothers,"

He turned his head to look at the senior brothers behind Shuli, and his eyes were full of helplessness and compassion: "Do you think that I have talked a lot since I was a child, and I am very lively? But do you know that for more than a year, my heart has gradually sunk, and I have spoken less and laughed less, have you noticed?"

The blood on the corner of Shu'an's mouth became thicker and thicker: "Yes, you won't notice, because the person who can notice when I cry and laugh is already dead." ”

He finally had a painful look on his face, but he couldn't tell whether it was the pain of the wound or the pain of his heart.

Shuli's hand began to tremble, but he didn't dare to let go, because once he let go, Shu'an would only die faster. He could only continue to listen.

Shu An stretched out his hand, held the blade of the green snake sword, and slowly pulled the sword out of his body with difficulty, his expression becoming more and more painful, but he didn't know why he was so stubborn.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, word by word: "Her name, Shuling, was met during a mission. After that brief meeting, I met her again at the family academy, and she has been the person I confide in ever since. My parents died young, and there aren't many people to get close to in the huge family, and she's almost the only one of my relatives, but she's dead!"

Shu An's face became more and more painful, his face was gray, and his muscles twitched from pain, but he still insisted on shouting out the pain in his voice: "She was killed by ourselves! she was also the one who went to assassinate him", Shu An pointed to the corpse behind them, "but in turn she was brainwashed by him, she was so simple, so trusting others, and finally killed by our own people!"

Shu An finally drew the tip of his sword, the blood from the wound gushed out, and he fell weakly.

Shuli threw away the green snake sword and held Shu'an, who was unable to fall, and the other brothers also surrounded him, isolating the monk who wanted to rush over not far away.

The monk stopped by himself, folded his hands, and his face was sad.

Shuli hugged Shu'an in his arms, Shu'an stared at his eyes, his eyes were confused, like a blood mist, his eyes looked at the gray sky, and murmured: "Senior brother, I don't hate you, I don't hate my family, I only hate that I was born in this troubled world, and I don't want to continue to endure it." ”

He turned his head slightly and glanced at the monk, but was blocked by the other senior brothers, did not see it, and said with some disappointment: "Master said that Buddhism can eliminate evil obstacles and lead people to goodness, let me follow him to spread the Dharma and save the common people."

"Senior brother, I didn't think about it that much, I just wanted to get out of here and go to a place where I could feel at ease. If I have to cross one person, I will be alone, and if I have to cross all sentient beings, it is my deep Buddha fate. But now, I can't cross it alone.

"Senior brother, I just want to tell you, stop killing people, go and save people, you are so smart, you must be able to find a way to save people like me, like Shuling, and even like that scholar's senior, more people. ”

Shu'an's face became more and more gray, and blood overflowed from his mouth: "Senior brother, goodbye, but I'm very happy, I want to, go to see, Sister Ling." ”

Shu'an slowly closed his eyes.

Shuli was deeply saddened, and his heart was like a knife.

Suddenly, a burst of Buddha voices roared, as if it exploded from above, and swooped towards Shu'an.
