Chapter 63: Karma and Fate (Part II)
That person is naturally Xin Yuan, and the onlookers have probably guessed it before, and now it is completely explained.
"Xin Yuan went mad, Shaolin suffered heavy losses that night, my master, Xinhai's junior brother, and all the warrior monks of the German generation were all killed by Xin Yuan. Speaking of it now, the only senior brother Xinkong who could stop Xinyuan at that time was imprisoned in the Dharma Cave by ourselves, if I was in Shaolin that day, I might have a chance to join hands with Senior Brother Xinhai, but I happened to be absent that day because of other things. All this may also be due to cause and effect. Speaking of this, Xintian sighed, and the faces and memories of many people appeared in his eyes, and tears filled up.
Xinyuan slaughtered Shaolin alone, although Xinkong was locked in the back mountain Dharma Cave facing the wall, but the noise of the former temple still spread to Xinkong, Xinkong didn't know what happened at the time. But he was being punished at the time, and it was not clear what had happened. But the bell in the temple rang continuously, and after hesitation, he still went out of the cave illegally, and when he came out, Shinbuchi had disappeared, and what he saw was a miserable scene like hell.
"Although I was not at the scene, I knew that my brother was absolutely sad that day. Xinkong said here, at that time, the survivors of Zhijin Zhiyuan, as well as the senior brother and other Shaolin disciples all folded their hands and chanted Amitabha. "In the next five years, the Shaolin who went out encountered accidents one after another, and we felt that it was too unusual, and it must be the evil thing that Xinyuan did. So, we decided on a plan, announced our withdrawal from martial arts, and set a martial arts ring. At the beginning, there were still people who came to Shaolin, and of course, no one could stick to that kind of Shaolin. In the past ten years, except for sports and mountains, you are the only one who has come to such Shaolin and has not walked. ”
Everyone looked at the peak, and the Shaolin disciples' eyes were full of gratitude for the peak. And Shanfeng knew why Shaolin Temple was so philistine when he entered Shaolin.
After the plan was set, Zhigao, as the abbot, decided to do penance in the Dharma Cave. But no one knows whether Xin Yuan is alive or dead, and even whether the murder of the Shaolin disciple a few years ago was done by Xin Yuan, it is all conjecture and no evidence. We all know how determined Zhigao was, and Senior Brother Xinkong had just come out due to the expiration of the five-year period, and we thought that he would return to the mountain. When Xinkong said this, he suddenly smiled, shook his head, and said, "Actually, I know that he won't leave." ”
Although she hadn't said anything about the follow-up yet, Ouyang Xue could already guess what Xinkong would do next. The angry and ferocious expression before was finally relieved at this moment, and he glanced back at Xinkong on the ground and said, "He won't leave, I know." ”
Shinku nodded in agreement and continued. The junior brother said that although he had completed the five-year sentence, it was also a violation of the precepts to go out of the cave in violation of regulations during this period. According to the regulations of the Shaolin Temple, if you go out of the hole in violation of regulations during the punishment period, you need to be fined and sentenced to ten years. ”
"The abbot of Zhigao in the Dharma Cave is doing penance, so the master locks himself in the back kitchen. Shanfeng answered, when he entered the temple, the sports said that Xinyuan had violated the great precept and was punished in the back kitchen, and it turned out that Xinkong himself proposed it.
"Yes, we are all very touched by Senior Brother Xinkong's decision not to leave, and we admire and be happy from the bottom of our hearts, but we actually hope that he can go down the mountain and live his own life. Zhiyuan interjected and said, as a Shaolin supervisor, he also knew part of the reason. "My junior brother and I, and the joint disciples were very indifferent to him, and I originally hoped to drive him down the mountain, but, hey, ......"
I see, Shanfeng then knew that it was no wonder that the Shaolin monks called the letter of the letter to the letter of the word why they called the name of the law, and usually did not respect the appearance of the letter at all. And looking at Xintian's appearance, although he did not participate in this decision, he agreed with what the disciples did and thought.
After Ouyang Xue's expression changed, Guo Xiang had already let go of her embrace, she looked at Ouyang Xue at this time, and asked tentatively: "That, why didn't Master Xinkong send a letter to my master?" Ouyang Xue was stunned when she heard this, looked back at Guo Xiang, stroked Guo Xiang's head, and there was infinite love in her eyes.
"Letter, junior brother must have sent it, he is not the kind of person who does not do things well, but ......" Xintian didn't continue, but Shan Feng had already thought of it, and continued: "I know! It's still Xin Yuan!" On the night of the previous duel in the council room, Shan Feng knew that Xin Yuan was able to grasp all the situation in Shaolin by communicating with Master Limo.
Although it is just speculation, but fifteen years ago Xin Yuan compiled and sorted out the Dharma Scroll in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, according to Xin Yuan's character and personality, after meeting with the end of the ceremony, he must have also learned how to raise pigeons. The carrier pigeons of the Shaolin Temple are all managed by the master of Limo, so Xinyuan will definitely be able to get in touch with them.
Hearing this, Ouyang Xue had already understood what was going on, and she turned around and squatted down. Zhiyuan saw that Ouyang Xue's expression had turned to loss, and carefully lifted Xinkong's body up and handed it to Ouyang Xue. Ouyang Xue nodded at Zhijin, half-squatted and hugged Xinkong in her arms, kissed him lightly on the top of his head, and whispered, "Since it's not your fault, then why don't you say it?"
When everyone saw this scene, the anger they had had against Ouyang Xue had also dissipated, and Ouyang Xue's expression at this time was not the expression of an ordinary woman who had lost her beloved. Guo Xiang squatted down beside Ouyang Xue, and stroked Ouyang Xue's junior with his right hand, wanting to say something to comfort the master, but he couldn't say anything for a while.
Yes, why didn't Xinkong say it? Shanfeng, as Xinkong's apprentice, clenched his hands, and he knew the reason why Xinkong refused to say it. The words that the master said to him yesterday echoed in his mind, and Shan Feng realized that Xinkong had been blaming all his mistakes on himself, and Xinkong felt that he was a "bad person" who was disloyal, unkind, and unjust. The master couldn't say it because he felt that he was the one who caused these mistakes and couldn't cross his own hurdle.
But is it really the master's fault? No! Shanfeng roared in his heart.
At this time, Xintian smiled, but it was a wry smile, "It's been fifteen years, and yesterday was when the penalty period of five years and ten years for the junior brother expired, and he told me yesterday that he wanted to return the vulgar." Hearing Xintian's words, everyone was stunned, no wonder Xinkong didn't wear a monk's robe today, so it was.
"Senior brother...... That is, Shan Yicui's benefactor, he officially returned to the world yesterday and completely broke away from the Shaolin Temple. He...... I'll come to see you as soon as I'm still vulgar. Although Xintian didn't say this by looking at Ouyang Xue, it was like a heavy hammer smashing straight into Ouyang Xue's heart. Ouyang Xue was so agitated that she couldn't calm down anymore, she closed her eyes and inhaled, leaving her cheeks with tears in her eyes.
The same is true of everyone onlookers, their eyes moistened, and they bow their heads and sigh. Alan and other carpenters who were watching on the side, although they didn't know some of the details, they already knew from Xintian's narration that what kind of person Xinkong was who had already died at this moment, and their eyes were red. Chubby even beat his chest and sighed, ashamed of the farce when he and Alain watched the excitement on the side.
After a period of silence, Ouyang Xue, who was in tears, suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head to Guo Xiang, who was also crying, and said, "Little apprentice, this sword is yours after that." If you can, take me and him back to Baituo Mountain, it's a master's begging for you. After speaking, he pushed the rose sword to Guo Xiang, Guo Xiang didn't react to Ouyang Xue's sudden confession. Just as he was about to stretch out his hand to push the sword and want to refuse, who knew that his hand had just touched the scabbard, Ouyang Xue immediately drew the sword with his left hand, and slashed the sword in his neck, blood splattered.
Everyone in the audience didn't expect Ouyang Xue's futile move, and when Xintian and the others rushed out to rescue, it was already too late. In addition, Ouyang Xue had already made up her mind, and she was already very fast, so she didn't have time to save it. Guo Xiang's face was covered with blood, his eyes were wide open, and he was already frightened.
With a clang, the rose sword fell to the ground, and at the last moment before her death, Ouyang Xue held Xinkong's left hand, which had condensed into a blood scab, and said sadly: "I said back then, if you fail me, I will kill you...... After killing you, I will kill myself...... Do what you say......" After speaking, his head hung on Xinkong's head and he died.
At this moment, Guo Xiang reacted to what happened, and the whole person collapsed backwards and fainted, but fortunately the mountain peak squatted down in time to support him. Everyone present didn't expect things to develop like this, and they didn't know how to react in the face of this sudden human tragedy. In front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, although there were many people, no one made a sound, and it was as silent as death.
After a while, Guo Xiangyu woke up and turned around, grabbed Shanfeng's clothes, sobbed and asked, "Shanfeng, is the master still saved?" Shanfeng didn't know how to answer, but said: "Xiang'er, who in the world doesn't die." Guo Xiang cried and burst into tears. The cry floated in this square, echoing in everyone's hearts, unspeakably miserable.
