Volume 1 This is not a reckless person in the rivers and lakes Chapter 21 Asking about the ups and downs

Mingjue smiled, squinted his eyes, and his tone revealed a bit of blame and concern: "Why are you so reckless?

When the little novice heard this, he hung his head and scratched the back of his head with a smirk. Mingjue asked again: "What is the matter with being in such a hurry?" and pointed to the door of the meditation room and said, "Why is the door of this meditation room still open?"

"Oh, in that case, let him go. Mingjue still smiled slightly, not worried. The little novice tilted his head and asked, "But, didn't the abbot tell us to take care of him? If he leaves like this, how can we explain to the abbot?"

"Abbot, I'll go and say, don't worry. If he insists on leaving, it is also cause and effect, and he cannot be stopped. Everything is determined by itself, and it cannot be changed by man. You go to the Mahavira Hall to help, at this hour, there are many pilgrims, so don't be lazy. After that, he patted the little novice's head affectionately.

The little novice said yes happily and ran towards the Mahavira Palace. Mingjue looked at his distant back, sighed lightly, and then pinched the Buddha bead and went to the abbot's meditation room.

Let's say that the Shen cuttlefish rushed all the way back to the Shen Mansion, and the Shen Mansion was surrounded by a group of people, and the people shook their heads and sighed, discussed, and whispered: "Oh, how did this Shen family become like this overnight? Why didn't there be any movement last night?"

"Yes, logically speaking, such a big fire, we would have been awakened last night to put out the fire, it's really a trick. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity. It's a pity that the old lady of the Shen family accumulates virtue and does good deeds to benefit one party, but she ends up like this. ”

Shen cuttlefish pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, stepped on the threshold that had already turned into charcoal, and slowly walked into the ruins. When the people saw this, they began to talk again: "Hey, isn't this the eldest son of the Shen family?

"Yes, God willing. Shen Mansion suffered this catastrophe, and the whole family was buried in the fire overnight, never thought that there would be a pulse of cigarettes left, which must be the blessing accumulated by Master Shen on weekdays, and Master Shen and Mrs. Shen can also be blinded in the spirit of the sky. ”

Everyone only knew that the Shen Mansion was on fire, which caused the tragedy to happen, and Shen Cuttlefish luckily left a life in the fire and saved the blood of the Shen family. didn't know that the Shen family explained that they were killed, and the root cause of this fire and massacre was caused by the only bloodline left by the Shen family.

Shen cuttlefish wanted to cry without tears, his feet were already a piece of scorched earth, and everywhere his eyes passed, there were scorched corpses, full of mess. The pavilions and pavilions of the past, the courtyard of the universe, the laughter and laughter, the harmony of the family, are still vivid, and it is clear that it was yesterday. But overnight, the raging flames ruthlessly devoured everything that Shen Cuttlefish cherished, turning all this into a dream bubble and a memory of the past.

He hurried into the inner courtyard again, and was almost hit by the plaque that had fallen suddenly and still had a little spark. The body flashed, and he watched the plaque of the Shen family fall to pieces and turn into debris all over the ground, and Shen cuttlefish was already in tears, and he couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

As soon as I entered the inner courtyard, I saw the two corpses lying in the courtyard from a distance. Shen Cuttlefish witnessed the killing of his father and mother yesterday, so although the skin and clothes of the two corpses were burned by the flames, and the bones were already blackened, as if they would turn into powder when touched, with the blackened broken sword beside him, Shen Cuttlefish still recognized their identities.

"Plop" knelt in front of the two corpses, and tears were already raining down, and he couldn't cry. Kneeling on the ground, he slammed his head three times, clenched his fists, grabbed a handful of dust and charred ash, and let them seep out of his fingers, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes and mixing into the dirt in front of his knees.

"Daddy...... Mother...... The unfilial child Shen cuttlefish is back, the child has not been able to avenge you, the child is ashamed of his father, ashamed of the seventy-one lives of the Shen Mansion, and ashamed of the ......ancestors of the Shen family, "After saying that, he threw himself to the ground again, his forehead lightly hit the ground, and he had already broken the skin and oozing blood, and the blood, dust, and tears blended together, mixed together.

"This revenge is not avenged...... I swear not to be a human being!" After that, his resolute eyes burned with anger and resentment, but his eyes fell on the two corpses again, and in an instant, his eyes became soft like water, sparkling and full of tears. Just wanted to collect the bodies of the two of them, but as soon as they touched the crisp and charred bones, the two bones collapsed together and turned into bone residue all over the ground.

A gust of wind swept by, and the bones were blown away, raising a cloud of dust, Shen cuttlefish hurriedly went to catch it, but it was empty, and the killing swept away with the wind around his fingertips, Shen cuttlefish cried helplessly and helplessly: "Dad! mother! father-mother-" Seeing his parents being killed, and now there are no bones left, Shen cuttlefish finally collapsed, and his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground, beat his chest and feet, and cried bitterly.

But after crying for a while, Shen Cuttlefish gradually calmed down, and thought: "I cried here for three days and three nights, and I can't bring my father back to life, and now the only thing I can do is to find that enemy and bring him to justice, so as to comfort my father and mother and the spirits of seventy-one people in the Shen Mansion!

After thinking about it, he had to get up and go to the government to report to the official. But there was no evidence, so he searched around, put the charred broken sword by his side, and found a blackened needle in the pile of dark dust and bones, flicked off the dust, and burst out with a shining golden light. The golden needle was slender and sharp, and the end was adorned with a blooming lotus flower. Although Shen cuttlefish didn't know what it was, he thought that it might be used as evidence, so he also kept it by his side.

When he was ready, he didn't care about resting, and hurried to the Yafu of Anhuai, and saw a cadre of officials standing on both sides in front of the Yamen of Nafu, and the door control knife stood in front of the door, half tilting his head, quite angry.

Shen cuttlefish has never been to the government, let alone sued, and does not know the rules. He was about to rush straight into the palace, but he was stopped by the door control before he took a few steps, and the door guard saw him break in, and he was not angry, and scolded him with a scabbard against his lower abdomen: "What a thing that doesn't have long eyes, who are you?

"I'm here to sue! Hurry up and ask your Lord Yin to go to the court to ask about the case!" Shen Cuttlefish said breathlessly, frowning and staring at the arrogant access control, still not forgetting his identity as the son of the Shen family. On the side of the four famous families, although Yin of Anhuai Mansion is a local parent official, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and he has to give them some face.

The access curfew sneered when he heard this, and looked him up and down again.

It turned out that Shen Cuttlefish's clothes last night were already tattered and full of blood, and the little novice of the White Horse Temple changed a clean monk's robe for him and wore it temporarily.

But when the door was opened, he misunderstood his identity, and said with a contemptuous smile: "You said that you are not like a layman, and a monk is not like a monk." was born with a poor and sour appearance, and he should be an honest dead man in his duty. If you dare to shout in this Anhuai Mansion again, believe it or not, you will often squat in prison?"

"Isn't this Anhuai Mansion a place to reason and reason? Isn't this Anhuai Mansion a place to avenge the people?" Shen Cuttlefish's voice also raised a few points, his anger was in full swing,-for-tat, and he refused to let go.

When the access control heard this, it was even more arrogant, and the surrounding officials also laughed, and the door control surrounded the Shen cuttlefish, and said in a strange manner: "There are no rules, and there is no square circle." Every household in this family has its own rules, the yamen is the local government, and it is also the face of the imperial court, so naturally this rule is also indispensable, how can it be broken by you and a small people?"

Shen Cuttlefish heard that there was some truth in this, so he suppressed his anger and asked, "Then dare to ask the official, what are the rules of this Anhuai Mansion?"

"The rules of the yamen are naturally set by the yamen, and now if you want to enter the yamen, you have to follow the rules of your grandfather. As the so-called yamen opens to the south, you don't want to come in if you have no money. Seeing that you are poor and sour, you can't afford to pay the regular money, so what do you say, just go back to your temple and burn incense. As soon as these words came out, they caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding officials.

When Shen Cuttlefish heard this, he was furious, he had never been insulted like this in Anhuai Mansion, not to mention that he now has martial arts, how can he be bullied by this small access control? With his fists clenched, he was about to enter the palace, but a servant came to the door and whispered:

"Boss, this kid looks a little familiar, as if he is from a family outside the city. When the door ban heard this, he also narrowed his eyes and looked at the Shen cuttlefish carefully, and it was really a little familiar, and he pursed his lips and nodded: "Well, it's really a little familiar." Boy, what's your name, report your name!"

"The Shen family of Anhuai Mansion, Shen cuttlefish. Shen cuttlefish sneered, his face was gloomy, and as soon as the words fell, the curfew and the officials all stood in place, looking at each other.

The access control coughed lightly twice, and the corners of his mouth twitched. His eyes flickered, he swallowed his saliva again, and as soon as he had an idea, he asked with a forced smile: "You dare to pretend to be the eldest son of the Shen family, who are you, don't come from the quick report, otherwise you will be beaten and you will be sent to the Shen Mansion for questioning!"

Seeing that the access control didn't want to believe it, Shen Cuttlefish chuckled again and said, "You can try." The tone of his words was peaceful, but the murderous intent in his eyes forced him to the curfew, making him tremble, and his back was cold, and his bones were terrified, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The official in the team turned to the front and looked at Shen Cuttlefish carefully, and said to the gate in a panic: "Boss, he is really the eldest son of the Shen family, and his subordinates have seen it in the city before!"
