Chapter 388
Lin Yilang sneered: "Some people are bad in the womb, even if Confucius comes to teach, they can't teach well." Therefore, Mr. Situ does not have to regret it, and he can live calmly. ”
This sentence was quite serious, and Situ Qiao raised his eyebrows, as if he was about to get angry. Liu Yong hurriedly came out to play a round and comforted him a few words. Situ Qiao was hindered by Liu Yong's face, not to mention that he also knew that Deng Yao, Lin Yilang and others were strong in martial arts, and there were many disciples, so if he turned his face with these people in this stone cave, he would probably not be able to get anything good. I had to suppress the anger in my heart, and then said: "I watched Mr. Gong walk out of the courtyard, and then the old man in the brocade robe pointed at the child and scolded bitterly: 'You little beast of a ruined family! In the past two years, there have been six gentlemen who have been scolded and driven away by you, all of whom are full of education. This Mr. Gong is even more peachy and plum all over the world, and it is extremely difficult to invite. In order to invite him to Situ's house to set up an apprenticeship, I did not hesitate to spend 500 taels of silver to ask Master Xuezheng to intercede, and then I invited him from Fengyang Mansion. I can't imagine that you, a little animal, will not change your bad habits, and you will not be sneering at Mr., and you will openly tease Mr. and stuff the stinky shoes and rotten socks of your subordinates into Mr. I'm going to kill you today, so that I don't get into trouble in the future, and my Situ family will be beheaded all over the house, and the nine clans will be punished!'
The more the brocade-robed old man spoke, the more angry he became, and he waved his cane and was about to hit the child again. All the family members hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and the study was in chaos before boarding. Later, the old lady also rushed over surrounded by a group of maids and servants, and when she saw that the old lady was going to beat her grandson, she was willing to let her, so she rushed in front of the child and shouted at the old man in the brocade robe: 'You old fellow, if you want to beat your precious grandson, beat me to death first! Another fire burned down the mansion, and everyone went to see Lord Yama together......
"I looked at everything in front of me with sadness and amazement. The scene of decades ago is clearly reproduced in front of my eyes. It's just that I've become a spectator, looking at what has been experienced. As I stand in front of you today, I know how ridiculous this is, but at the moment and place, I don't notice anything strange about it.
"I looked at the chaotic yard, as if nothing had changed, and was about to step forward and speak. Everything in front of me suddenly began to move, as if a sharp sword was cutting horizontally and vertically, and under the flash of light, I felt a little dazzling, and I involuntarily blinked my eyes twice. When I opened my eyes again, where was the shadow of the old house of the Situ family? I was still standing in the middle of the hall, facing the beautiful woman sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform, and the man standing by the steps under the stage.
I rubbed my eyes, and nothing changed in front of me. The man said, 'Soon after Mr. Gong returned to Fengyang, he died of depression. If he hadn't had the experience in the Situ family, with his heart, he would not have died so early. He is a scholar and a well-educated Confucian, although he has been in the field for a long time but has not been hit, if he were a bystander, he would have been killed by his head. However, this Mr. Gong is open-minded, although he did not win the lift, he opened the museum and taught apprentices, and did a lot of good things. Such a character died because he couldn't stand your false accusations and tricks. Although you were just a naughty boy at that time, as the saying goes, when you are three years old, many of the things you do after that are hurtful to nature. As far as the hearts of the people are concerned, everything should be punished!'
I listened to his fierce words, and my heart was shaken, and sweat trickled down my forehead. Looking back on the experience over the years, it is indeed as he said. After Mr. Gong left, the old lady invited three more gentlemen for me, but I was angry, scolded or beaten, and refused to stay. In the end, the old lady was in a hurry and died violently overnight. The eldest uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, and seventh uncle all blamed me for being angry with the old lady and wanted to tie me up and send me to the official. If it weren't for my parents' pleading, I am afraid that these uncles and uncles who coveted the family property would have been sent to the government for punishment on the charge of 'disobedience'. It's just that after the old lady died, each room was separated. At that time, I was the only male in the third generation of the Situ family, and it stands to reason that I should have received the most share of the family property. It's just that the other five uncles and uncles agreed that I was angry with the old lady, and it was a great benefit not to send me to be punished, so they only gave my father dozens of acres of thin land and two sick cows. My father was originally a strong man, and he was bullied by his brothers, but he was unable to resist because of the sins I had created, and he died of illness after a few years. At that time, no one forced me to study, and I was happy that I was not restrained, and I only learned a few tricks of cunning every day, and finally escaped from the house. All these years have passed, and my mother is gone. The prosperity and decline of the Situ family are all sins done by me.
"The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, and then my whole body trembled and I wanted to cry out loud. The man said, 'You have done so many iniquities that you can only be atonerated by one death.' Old lady Situ, your father and mother, and Mr. Gong, they are all waiting for you to apologize to them. If you die now, you might be able to catch up with them. Otherwise, once they enter the six realms of reincarnation, if you have to look for them again, you will naturally not be able to find them. At that time, you will have to fall into the Infernal Hell, suffering from eternal life. Situ Qiao, you are still dead, so that after a hundred years, your relatives can rest assured, and you can also be reincarnated as a human, wouldn't you be happy.
"I nodded, and thought, 'That's a good idea.' As long as the old lady, father and mother forgive me, I can raise my head and become a new person. They must die as soon as possible, lest they not be found. ’
The man smiled when he saw me nodding. I said to him, 'I want to die, you can kill me.' The man shook his head and said, 'If you want to atone for your sins, you have to kill yourself.' I thought to myself that he was right, and that only suicide would prove that I was remorseful. It was I who said to the man, 'If you kill yourself, you will kill yourself.'" Lend me your knife. ’
The man shook his head and said, 'You have to kill yourself with your own sword or bite your tongue, and no one else can help you.' After hearing what he said, I thought to myself that I didn't have a sword on me, and I was afraid that it would hurt to kill myself by biting my tongue, and I couldn't make up my mind. After hesitating, I suddenly remembered that I had brought a few 'tile fairy grasses' with me, which I had accidentally obtained when I passed through a mountain field a few days ago. Waxian grass contains highly poisonous, and if a person takes it by mistake, it will immediately poison and die. However, if it is dried, pounded into powder, and mixed with gentian herb with wine, it will not only be completely toxic, but also cure rheumatism. I brought it with me because I wanted to find gentian grass and use it to prepare medicine. At this time, when he thought about it, he wanted to take out the Waxian grass and chew it, and he would be killed after a while.
The man had a strange smile on his face when he saw me reaching into my arms and groping with me. The beautiful woman sitting on the high dragon chair also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at me intently.
"I felt my hand in my arms, but I didn't touch the small cloth bag wrapped in the tile fairy grass, but I touched a bag. My heart shook, and I immediately remembered that this bag contained an antidote to poison. At that moment, a voice in my head seemed to say to me, 'Take it out quickly, it will save your life!' and another voice said, 'You have done too much sin, and you are also guilty of living, so you should commit suicide as soon as possible to atone for your sins and be reincarnated as a human being.'" ’
"There was another mess in my head, and I grabbed the bag with my right hand, but I couldn't take it out. When the man saw that my right hand was stretched into his bosom and that he had not taken out the grass from the vine, he said softly, "Living in the world can only make you suffer from the torture of your conscience every day, so why bother? ’
"I want to think about it, and I'm going to let go of it. It's just that when the heavens and humans were fighting in his heart, he unconsciously used a lot of force in his hands, which made some of the medicinal powder in the bag squeeze out. When I took it out of my bosom with a small cloth bag containing Waxian grass in my right hand, I smelled a strong smell of antidote powder in my nose.
When the smell hit my mind, I suddenly noticed that the man standing opposite me had a changed expression, as if he had seen something terrified. He opened his mouth wide and was about to speak, when a small piece of flesh suddenly peeled off from his forehead. It's like a white clay vase that suddenly shatters and a piece of it peels off. Then I saw small pieces of flesh and skin falling off his face, and after a while, the man's original white and pure face was gone, turning into a skinny skeleton.
"I was so shocked that I could even afford to commit suicide by taking poison. Everything in front of me spun and spun faster and faster, and everything became fragmented, and after a moment it was put back together. I rubbed my eyes desperately, and when I could see what was in front of me, how could there be any shadow of the hall? I was still standing at the entrance of the corridor of the secret room, and two or three feet away was the offering table, which was full of jade. The jade statue behind the offering table remained unmoved, while the dried corpse still sat on the right side of the offering table.
"I woke up from a big dream, looked at the small cloth bag containing the tile fairy grass in my hand, and smelled the strong smell of the antidote, and then I understood what was going on. Before the monk Hongdao committed suicide, he also rubbed his eyes desperately, and then he punched and kicked like crazy, and poked himself to death with his last finger. Thinking that he also fell into an illusion, he fought with the enemy in the illusion, and judging from what he said when he was hallucinating, the person who fought with him was the dry corpse Zheng He. The enemy's martial arts moves were all imagined by the monk Hongdao himself. He once said that Zheng He's martial arts are unpredictable and invincible in the world, so he is naturally not Zheng He's opponent. In the illusion, he was pointed out by Zheng He. In fact, the tricks of both sides were all delusions in his own mind, and he finally killed himself. After that, I also fell into a fantasy and turned out the most shameful thing in my heart, and was almost taken advantage of by the illusion, and I took my own life. Fortunately, the powder in my arms spilled out, which made me sober up.
"I was so frightened that I dared to stay in this secret room, all the purple jade grapes and jade cabbage were all gone! I turned my head and ran away from the corridor, but I hadn't escaped from the corridor yet, when I suddenly heard a loud 'hiss' behind me, I was startled, and I couldn't help but look back, but I saw that the candle flame on the offering table suddenly soared, and the flames scattered like explosions, and a few flames fell on the dry corpse, and immediately ignited a fire, and a stream of hot gas rushed straight from the secret room. I was so frightened that I dared not stay, and struggled to escape into the main hall. I just feel that my heart is burning, and it is not uncomfortable to be hot.
"When I fled to the statue in the main hall, I turned my head to look. I saw that the flames spread out of the corridor, and even the walls were on fire. I was so frightened that I was afraid that this was still an illusion, so I bit the tip of my tongue with a ruthless heart, only to feel a salty mouth, and I almost screamed in pain. I knew that these were no longer illusions, and that the fire was burning strangely, and I could faintly smell sulfur and other things that could easily cause fires in my nose, and I thought that when it was built, I had buried them in the walls. How dare I stay in the main hall, until I reach the gate of the hall, and find that the door of the hall is unlocked, and I look out through the crack in the door, and the courtyard is empty. Thinking that in order to hide people's eyes, the monk Hongjing had dismissed all the monks when he entered the main hall. And the Hongdao monk is even more secretive, naturally he doesn't want to alarm the monks, because although the secret room of this hall has been turned upside down, the other monks have already rested.
I was overjoyed, and I pushed the door open and fled into the courtyard. When I got to the end of the yard, I stopped and looked back. I saw that a majestic hall had turned into a huge fireball at this time, illuminating the entire Great Bao'en Temple as bright as day. I heard the sound of gongs ringing around me, and I thought that there was a monk on duty at night who noticed the fire and called the monks to put out the fire. I was afraid that the monks would get into trouble after they found me, so although I still wanted to see what was going on, I didn't dare to stay, so I had to dodge and flee to the outside of the Great Bao'en Temple. Fortunately, at this time, all the monks were busy rushing to the main hall to put out the fire, and I turned around, although I was almost bumped into by the monks who were running towards the main hall several times, and they all avoided at the last moment. It wasn't until I escaped from the temple gate that I breathed a sigh of relief and mingled with the crowd watching the excitement. Looking at the red light in the sky above Dabao'en Temple, thinking back to what happened this night, it was like a world away. ”
