Chapter 4: On the Occasion of Life and Death

Liu Yi was just a twelve-year-old boy, not to mention that he had never cultivated, he rushed up and stabbed at the white-masked man, and was directly kicked back by him, Liu Yi suddenly fell to the ground.

The man in the white mask held up his bow and arrows, sneered, and said, "You can go down with your father's arrows and remember your father well." ”

After saying that, the right hand is charged and an arrow is about to be shot.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the village getting closer and closer, and the man in the white mask ignored the arrow and shot it.

The arrow shot at Liu Yi at a rapid speed and came to Liu Yi in the blink of an eye, and was about to hit Liu Yi's eyebrows, Liu Yi closed his eyes in despair.

However, he did not feel any pain.

Liu Yi opened his eyes and saw that the arrow was grabbed by a big hand and stopped in his hand.

The arrow was only an inch away from Liu Yi's head, and Liu Yi's body trembled a little as he sat on the ground.

Liu Yi looked at the owner of the big hand, a monk wearing a robe, a shiny head, and six ring scars.

The monk held the arrow in his right hand, and with a flick of his two fingers, he broke it and threw it aside.

The monk folded his hands and said to the man in the white mask: "Amitabha Buddha's donor is murderous, don't be killed, it's better to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, follow the old monk back to the temple to cultivate the mind, be a Vajra Buddha, educate the world, do good, the world can cross people and cross yourself, the donor walks the world to do a lot of killing, this village of corpses are caused by the hands of a few people, go back to the temple to practice pious to the Buddha, and after death, you have to die well to avoid falling into the ............ of hell. ”

Just when the monk was saying kind words to the white-masked man, another arrow shot at the monk's head, and the monk still folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name without resisting.

I only heard a ding, and the iron arrow actually fell to the ground, and then I saw that there was only a red mark on the top of the monk's head.

Monks...... He was not annoyed when he interrupted, and said: "The donor is so anxious that he wants to take the life of the poor monk with one arrow, the life of the poor monk is as insignificant as duckweed, but there are still many sins in the world, the poor monk is determined to purify all sentient beings, and he also wants to walk more years to help the world ......." ”

"The stinky monk is so verbose, if you want to save these people, stay here together, let's watch me cut out your tongue. ”

After speaking, the white-masked man looked at the direction where the other three black-robed men had fallen and said angrily, "Are the three fools still alive, hurry up and clean up this stinky bald donkey." ”

Hearing this, the three black-robed men staggered to their feet, and the three of them steadied themselves and clenched the daggers they held in their hands.

He stabbed at the monk at the same time, and the black gas on the dagger revealed a strong murderous intent.

"Oh Buddha Mita," the monk recited the Buddha's name, and as soon as the words fell, the three black-clothed men stopped before they could stab the monk.

Looking at the three of them, they all lost their breath and fell down.

One was pierced by a sword, one was cut a small wound in the neck by a leaf, and only a trace of blood oozed out of the wound when he fell, and one was hit in the neck by a punch and directly broke his neck with great force.

"The void monk will be over with a hammer with them. A muscly man with a height of eight feet said to the monk.

Each of the three men in black had one person next to him, dressed differently.

One person is about twenty years old with a sword, and one person is wearing a cyan robe floating out of the dust, and the three people in black robes look at the white-masked man after killing them

"Are these people the ones who killed all the people in the village?" the Taoist asked.

The empty phase replied: "It was I who arrived first to save these teenagers, and as for that friend, I don't know whether he is alive or dead." ”

Sora said and looked at the lark who had fallen to the ground and closed his eyes.

The strong man looked at the white-masked man and said, "Let's not talk about gossip, let's kill this guy first," After speaking, he rushed up with an arrow step, and hit the white-masked man with a straight right fist, and there was a faint burning breath on the fist.

The white-masked man dodged this punch flexibly, stepped back and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect so many people to come today, so I won't entangle with you today, I'll see you again in the future," After speaking, the white-masked man turned around and fled directly.

When the strong man saw the white-masked man running away, he put away his fist and spat and said, "Bah, I thought I could fight for a few rounds, but I ran away like this, hit a hammer and a melon baby." ”

Turning to look at the others, he asked, "Do you want to chase or not?"

The Taoist said: "Don't chase after it, save people first." ”

After speaking, he walked to the lark's side and probed his breathing, and noticed that the lark was still breathing, so he broke his mouth open, took out a pill from the cuff, and put it in the lark's mouth to help him take it.

Then he was lifted up against the wall and allowed to absorb the medicinal properties naturally.

The strong man came to Liu Yi and the others and said to Liu Yi and the others: "There are just a few of you little dolls, what about your parents?"

The strong man's voice was like a tiger's roar, his eyes were like copper bells, his beard was also black and thick, and his body was as strong as an ox.

The strong man looked overwhelmed.

The man with the sword scolded: "Fan Yan, you are such a big man and you are still talking so loudly, isn't it to frighten them, and where can you understand that child from the Sichuan and Shu dialects." ”

"I wonder if I can't understand the little doll, if I can understand what I'm saying," he looked at Liu Yi and the others and said loudly.

Liu Yi and the others cried louder when they saw this.

"You also trained your brain muscles to squeeze out your brain, and scared the little ones again," the sword-wielding man said to Fan Yan in disgust.

"Hey, Ji Yunxi, you can get a sword and be a cowhide, come and come and fight with Lao Tzu for two rounds just before you are comfortable," "I'm afraid you will come," After Ji Yunxi finished speaking, the two began to argue with each other.

Liu Yi has experienced such a big change today, and when he saw that these people seemed to save them without malice, he slowly calmed down his mood.

Seeing the void move their mother's bodies side by side, he sat down cross-legged in front of them.

Seeing this, Liu Yi walked up to the empty phase and asked, "Master, what are you doing, can my mother still wake up?"

Fan Yan and Ji Yunxi also stopped playing when they heard Liu Yi's words, and looked at Liu Yi and fell silent.

The empty phase said: "Little one, your mother, they can't wake up, but they have entered a more peaceful and happy world, so don't worry." ”

After speaking, he recited the "Sutra of Transcendence" that he had studied, which was not a martial arts move, but about sending those who had died to Elysium.

The transcendent content was incomprehensible to others, but there was a vague sense of emptiness, a divine light on his face.

Liu Yi knew that he shouldn't disturb the empty phase at this time, and when he looked at his mother's corpse, he felt sadness and remembered that his father had also died in the hands of the man in the white mask.

Thinking of the power of these people to kill the black-robed people and larks just now to protect them, he secretly made a decision in his heart, and felt sad in his heart, Liu Yi became more and more determined after experiencing such a big change.

"Amitabha" finished reciting the Sutra of Transcendence, and recited the end of the Buddha name, the Buddha name seems to have the power to calm people's minds, Liu Yi heard the unhappy emotions in his heart seemed to be swept away.

After stabilizing his emotions, he came back to his senses, looked at the empty man sitting cross-legged and said to him: "Can the master accept me as an apprentice, I want to learn martial arts, I want to become stronger, and avenge my father!"

Liu Yi said in a firm voice and a serious expression.

Looking at this, Liu Yikong sighed and said: "The young poor monk knows that you are experiencing this catastrophe of seeing your family die with your own eyes, and you are very angry in your heart, and you are eager to become stronger and want to take revenge, but the poor monk's cultivation is not suitable for you, your purpose is contrary to my Buddhist family, and the poor monk can't agree." ”

After speaking, he stood up and said to the rest of the people, "Please, you will help the poor monks to bury these innocent people first, Amitabha." ”

After the empty phase finished speaking, the rest of the people bent down and folded their hands and saluted, and the rest of the people also folded their hands in return to the empty phase, helping to find tools on the spot to dig the pit.

Liu Yi stood in place after listening to the empty phase's answer, although his father was a hunter and had little knowledge, Liu Yi was indeed very smart.

He was also praised by the old gentleman who opened a private school in the village, so Liu Yi knew the meaning of emptiness very well, but he still retained the obsession of becoming stronger and revenge in his heart.

Liu Yi didn't say a word after listening to the empty words, and was silent to help dig the pit.

When the other teenagers saw Liu Yi like this, they also stepped forward, no longer immersed in grief and helped.

It was nearly dusk when everyone was done, and the village was now ruined and in tatters, and graves were erected on the land, and a simple wooden board was erected on each of the fifty people, and their names were engraved on each grave.

Liu Yi and the others looked at the dead people one by one, and when they thought of their familiar faces, they couldn't help but shed tears in their eyes.

The lark also woke up when they were done, and looking at the graves in front of him, he knew that these people were all suffering because of their own disasters.

Looking at Liu Yi and the others standing in front of the grave, he asked himself what happened after he fainted, and he was grateful to these people who came to the rescue, but he was not lightly injured and had difficulty moving, otherwise he would have to stand up and make a big gift.

Everyone stood in front of the tomb in silence for the innocent people who died, and then Liu Yi suddenly shouted in horror: "No, no, there are two people missing, Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu are not here!"

Lin Qingchen said: "Maybe we ran out, or maybe we didn't find it in the village, let's go and find it." ”

After saying that, they scattered and searched for it in the village.

Liu Yi shouted the names of the two of them as he walked, thinking about the time he had spent playing with the two of them in the past, and he was sad again, and tears seemed to be flowing out again.

But Liu Yi lifted him up and wiped his eyes with his cuffs, and the thought of becoming stronger in his heart made him hold back his sadness, and he hissed the names of the two of them vigorously on his mouth.

But after looking for a long time, everyone still didn't find Xiaoyu and Xiaofeng.

Liu Yi and a few friends were lost and silent again, worried about them.

It was already dark, and it was determined that there was no whereabouts of Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu, and several people did not look for it again.

Skylark looked at Liu Yi and the others and said, "Your family members have all died because of me, if you have any wishes, just say it, and the old man will do his best to help you realize it." ”

Liu Yi and the others glanced at each other, knelt down directly at the lark and said in unison: "Please take us as apprentices, teach us martial arts, and avenge our families." ”

With a bang, several people slammed their heads on the ground and stopped getting up.

Looking at Liu Yi and the others with their heads close to the ground, they pondered, then sighed and said: "The old man caused this tragedy, or not, after all, he let you have a home, but the old man alone can't take care of you." ”

He looked at the other people and said: "The old man is cheeky and begs you to accept a few little guys, their relatives are no longer alive, there is no one alive, there is no one to rely on, the old man is really difficult to take care of them alone, and the old man has thanked him again." ”

After listening to the lark's words, a few people were silent, looking at Liu Yi and the others fell into deep thought.

After a short silence, Fan Yan spoke first, and he said: "That little fat man, labor and management, think that you have a very good appetite for me, come with me, and you will definitely not suffer a loss, hahaha," the iron pillar was attached to the ground, and he couldn't see his expression, but his shoulders trembled obviously.

"Hmm...... Little guy, what's your name," Ji Yunxi said to Zhenghao, "My name is Zhong Zhenghao", and Zhenghao replied in a proper manner, "Well, yes, you follow me, I just don't have a sword." ”

"Then you come with me, little guy," Lin Qingchen looked at Wu Haowei and said, "A few of you have finished choosing, so that they can have a place to live This little friend is not suitable for my Buddhist cultivation, and the poor monk will not mistake people's children Just let the lark take people in." ”

"That's right, the original cause is me, I should take this responsibility, little one, what's your name, are you willing to join my door?"

"I, Liu Yi, would like to worship Mr. Skylark as a teacher, and enter the old man's door, I only ask the old-timers to teach me martial arts and make me strong," Liu Yi said loudly, and kowtowed three times. “

"Okay, you all get up, let's stay here for one night today, and leave here tomorrow, you go back to your respective sects, you see how it goes. The lark asked Lin Qingchen and a few people.

Lin Qingchen and the others also felt that it was okay, it was already dark and not suitable for hurrying. Liu Yi and the others slowly stood up, their eyes were less sad than before, and they were a little more determined.
