Chapter 21: Hirobuchi Kakuki's Nostalgia (3)
Guangyuan closed his eyes when he said this, and a tear couldn't help but slip from the corner of his eye. Guangyuan said: "This matter has been a long time, and it has to start when I was working as a child laborer in the landlord's house. At that time there was a little maid in the landlord's house, and I forgot her name.
The people of the landlord's family from the landlord to the lady to the housekeeper, there is no good person from top to bottom, except for this little maid. She was very understanding, she never embarrassed me like other people, she ate a small amount, she would share food with me every time I was not full, and every time I was beaten and bruised, she would always come to see me quietly and give me medicine.
This little maid is also a poor person, her family is not good, she was sold by her family to this big family as a maid since she was a child, and she has lost the love of her parents since she was a child. In this way, she and I can also be said to be in sympathy.
During those nightmarish years, she was my only warmth, the only spiritual pillar that could support me to stay strong. Jueqing asked, "Then since you left the landlord's house and entered the Shaolin Temple, have you seen her?"
Guangyuan was stunned when he heard this question. After a long time, he said, "After many years, I saw her for the last time, and from that glance I will never see her again." That time, I went to the home of the landlord who had abused me before, and I couldn't help but feel angry when I thought about what happened to them as a child.
I rushed into the mansion at that time, and the people in the mansion were shocked by my sudden action, after all, after many years, they would not recognize me, and I could not forget the faces of these wicked people. This gang of family members stopped me, I made a big fuss in the house that day, I never did anything with women, so I beat all the men in the family severely, the landlord and his son were beaten into ruins by me, and the family hurriedly went to report to the official. ”
Jueqing asked, "Since you are back here, can you see that girl?" Guangyuan said: "I have seen her, although I have come over for so many years, although her appearance has changed a lot, but I recognize her at a glance, she is already a slim girl." I said to her at the time, 'Come with me, I am now capable enough to protect you and give you freedom'. With that, I pulled her and walked out.
At this moment, a group of officials from the yamen rushed in to arrest me, and I hurriedly withdrew. After I left the mansion, I decided to try to take her that night, take her out of that place, and give her freedom, because she was the only one who was good to me back then, and taking her away was my reward for her. ”
Jueqing asked, "Have you ever taken her?" Guang Yuan hid his face and said, "I lurk in the nearby inn. That night, I was going to break into the mansion at night, but I heard a loud noise outside in the inn, and I was startled the moment I opened the window. The mansion was on fire, and the entire mansion was engulfed in flames. I looked at the sea of fire with mixed feelings, I relieved my hatred for the landlord's family, and more about the good and evil karma that the master told me, the landlord's family did a lot of injustice, and in the end they couldn't escape retribution. ”
Jueqing asked, "Do you believe in the retribution of good and evil?" Guangyuan said: "I have been influenced by Buddhist thought since I was a child, and I am naturally convinced. Jueqing asked: "Since you believe in the retribution of good and evil, why do you still do more injustice now, and you are not afraid that one day the Buddha will have eyes and the heavens will punish you?" How the heavens treated me unfairly, I now return them to the heavens one by one. If one day, if the heavens want to destroy me, I will destroy the heavens, and if the Buddha wants to punish me, I will kill the Buddha!"
Jueqing looked at Guang Yuan, Guang Yuan's eyes were so terrifying in Jueqing's eyes at this moment, Guang Yuan's eyes were full of hatred, a person who decided to fight with the sky, a fearless person was the most terrifying.
Guangyuan said: "But which little maid is guilty, why, why does she have to be buried with her, why God wants to take her life, is this my Buddha's compassion, this is Amitabha!"
Jueqing said: "After listening to you talk so much today, I realized that you still have such a past. Guangyuan said: "When we first met Shuang'er in Meishan, I couldn't believe my eyes, because Shuang'er and that maid look too similar, although I have been separated for so many years, but the appearance of that maid is still deeply imprinted in my mind, I even thought that Shuang'er was that maid, until I chatted with Ren Buji about Shuang'er, Ren Buji said that Shuang'er grew up with Bo Xile, and I was completely sure that Shuang'er was not her." ”
Jueqing said: "Actually, Shuang'er and I used to be brought up by Bosil. Guangyuan asked, "Then why didn't Shuang'er recognize you when you were in Meishan?"
Jueqing said: "There are so many people sent by Changbai Mountain, and I am just a doorman, and Shuang'er was raised by Bo Xile. That's why we weren't familiar with it when we were young. You also know that I have been in the Shaolin Temple for all these years, and after such a long time, my appearance has changed, and I have shaved again, and it is normal that she does not recognize me. I didn't recognize her at first, after all, the eighteenth year of the female college changed, and I didn't have the impression until I heard Ren Unruly say that she was brought up by Bosil. But at that time, I was undercover by your side, even if I recognized Shuang'er, I had to pretend not to know, otherwise my undercover matter would not be exposed. ”
Guang Yuan smiled and said, "You are shrewd, but it's a pity that we still let us find you out in the Shaolin Temple in the end." ”
Jueqing asked, "Then what's the matter with Ren Buru because of Shuang'er's anger?" Guangyuan said: "As for the matter with this Shuang'er, it starts when we defeated Bo Xile in Taihang Mountain and Ren Bujian drove Chen Zhixiang away. Jueqing said: "I later heard that you found Zhu Cihuan in Shandong, and later made a big fuss in the capital in order to save him, and then was trapped in Xishan by Bo Xile's soldiers. ”
Guangyuan said: "In the cold winter of that year, there was heavy snow on Taihang Mountain, and Ren Bujian took our group of people to hunt together, and that time Shuang'er and I accidentally fell into the cliff. It was also the two of us who should not have died, and we were saved by the tree of the cliff. When I woke up, I found that we were both in a tree. Frost had already passed out, and I quickly helped Frost up, but no matter what I did, I couldn't wake her up. ”
Jueqing asked, "How did you come here in the past few days, Wang Qianyuan, didn't they find you?" Guangyuan shook his head and said, "That cliff is too high, they didn't find us, and it was difficult to find us, and I was not familiar with Taihang Mountain, so I didn't know the way back." I carried Frost into a cave, made a fire, and I took off my cloak and coat and draped it over her. ”
Guangyuan said: "I looked at the unconscious Shuang'er, looking at her, just like seeing the little maid in the landlord's house, because they look too similar." I hurriedly tried to save Shuang'er to wake up, I gave her the power to do everything, but Shuang'er still couldn't wake up. I was so scared, afraid that Frost would never wake up again, afraid of losing her.
Although I know that she is not a little maid, but I don't know why, at that moment I had a hallucination, I have already regarded Frost as the little maid at that moment, and the only trace of thought and sustenance I have for the little girl is on Frost'er. Therefore, I tried my best to save her, even if I exhausted all my strength, even if I was dying, even if I exchanged my life for her, I was willing, as long as she was well. ”
Jueqing said: "But Shuang'er is not the girl she was back then. Guangyuan said: "That girl may have gone with the fire in the mansion back then, and Shuang'er looks too similar to her, so I think Shuang'er is the only thought that the sky left me for that girl, and Shuang'er is the incarnation of that little maid back then."
What would I have left without frost, and if there was no frost, everything would really be empty. You and I have been in Shaolin for so long, and we know that monks pay attention to the four major emptiness, but a person really has nothing in his heart, so what is the meaning of his life. My experience has made it impossible for me to be empty at all, and I can't be empty at all, and all these encounters that I have experienced since I was a child, how can I be empty in my life. ”
"So, on that day, under the cliff, I no longer think about Shaolin Temple, no longer think about the leader of the martial arts alliance, and no longer think about Wang Qianyuan. I just want to take good care of her, because no matter how much you have, it's better to have one that is truly precious and truly worth cherishing. Jueqing listened and said, "What you said is very touching." ”
Guangyuan said: "I thought at the time, if Shuang'er woke up, if she was willing to be with me, I wanted to retreat to the rivers and lakes with her, live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and never be contaminated with the affairs of the rivers and lakes again, I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to fight for anything." At that moment, for the first time in my life, I had the idea of retiring from the rivers and lakes, as long as Shuang'er could wake up, I was willing to give up everything on the rivers and lakes. In those days, my eyes and my mind were all about her. I looked at Frost, who had been unconscious, and she was shivering with cold, her face was pale, and her lips were purple. It's really distressing to see like that, she's just a weak girl. ”
"I picked up Shuang'er and looked around, because I was not familiar with the environment of Taihang Mountain, I didn't know which direction to look in, so I groped in a daze, trying to find Ren Buru as soon as possible, but because I went in the opposite direction, I went farther and farther.
Because the weather was so cold at that time, she was so sleepy all the time, her breath and pulse were so weak, I was afraid that I wouldn't wake her up after a long time, I really didn't know what to do, my heart was full of endless anxiety and helplessness. I held Shuang'er and walked forward, I don't know how long I walked, when I arrived at a village and town, I saw a temple in front of me, so I carried Shuang'er into the temple to avoid the wind. I made a fire in the temple to keep warm. It took a long time for Frost to wake up. ”
Guangyuan raised his head after saying that, and said: "But what about Shuang'er, she only has Ren Unruly in her heart, it was I who saved her, I have been taking care of her, accompanying her, and worrying about her." Do you know that the first person Frost woke up and said was Ren Buru. The first thing she said when she opened her eyes was Brother Ren, she said that she wanted to see Brother Ren. ”
Guangyuan's eyes became a little helpless: "Until later, after Shuang'er knew my thoughts, she still refused to accept me, and still thought about Ren Buru. I tried again and again to impress her. But Shuang'er, she likes Ren Buru, she only has Ren Buru in her heart, but Ren Buru fell into the love Gu and Chen Zhiqing's love Gu, so it is impossible for Shuang'er and Ren Buru to have results. I've done so much for her, I've been so worried about her, but she hasn't wanted to accept my feelings with her unwillingness, she'd rather wait for an impossible Ren Unruly, and she doesn't want to accept me. ”
There was a hint of despair in Guangyuan's eyes, and Jueqing didn't know what to say to Guangyuan at this time. Maybe he wanted to comfort Guangyuan, but Guangyuan's pain can never be comforted.
Guangyuan said: "The matter of Shuang'er made me completely desperate for the destiny of heaven, for life, for myself, for the Buddha, for fate, for everyone, I have come to this point, I have become a wicked person in the eyes of those famous and decent people, I am forced." I lost my parents, I lost the little maid I used to be, I lost the status of the leader of the martial arts alliance, I lost the opportunity to be ashamed, I looked at Shuang'er at that time, and I felt that this might be the only thing I had. But the Buddha was so unjust that I was tortured by all kinds of suffering, but in the end I had nothing. ”
Jueqing said: "Today's Guangyuan is not what it used to be, you have the imperial court to be your backer, you have most of the martial arts, you have the strength to compete with Wang Qianyuan, and most importantly, you have Shuang'er girl." Guangyuan smiled bitterly after hearing this and said: "I have Shuang'er, I got her people but I can't get her heart, Shuang'er's heart will never be with me, unless one day, I will completely defeat Ren Buji, and prove to Shuang'er with facts that I and Ren Bujian are the ones she should choose." ”
Jueqing said: "I heard that Fadu and the four first seats were all killed by you, including Qin Weinan, the head of the Huashan faction. Guangyuan said: "Yes, since Shaolin abandoned me, I had to betray Shaolin, and I killed all these old monks." Shaolin Temple treats me like this, I want to make Shaolin Temple pay a painful price because of me, these monks of the French generation are all dead, Shaolin will be in chaos, isn't this the heaviest price. ”
Jueqing said: "Fadu saved your life, but also passed on your martial arts, the first four took you to practice the King Kong is not bad magic, they are kind to you like a mountain, their kindness to you can not be repaid for a lifetime, although I am opposed to the Central Plains martial arts, but since I was a child, I was also educated by Bo Xile and Shaolin Temple, and I also know loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. I really don't know how you managed to kill them all. ”
Guangyuan said: "From the moment I took Shuang'er away, I have completely despaired of life and martial arts. I just want to do what I want, in order to deal with Wang Qianyuan and Ren Buru, I don't hesitate to use all means, I will no longer think about what I want to do right, as long as I can achieve the goal. If I don't kill them, they will always thwart me. With them in my way, I would never have been able to do it. ”
Jueqing asked: "I really wouldn't have thought that many years later, Guangyuan, this little uncle of mine, would be such a ruthless person, you are cruel to anyone, and even more ruthless to yourself." Your ruthlessness to yourself is your forbearance for so many years, everything has a cause and a result, and your current ruthlessness is inseparable from your experience. However, there is one thing I still haven't figured out, Qin Weinan, the head of the Huashan faction, has no grievances with you, what did you kill Qin Weinan for, and what did you take refuge in the imperial court?"
Guangyuan said: "I met the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, and they wanted to use me to deal with the anti-Qing forces in the martial arts, that is, Wang Qianyuan Ren Mu came to Zhang them. I also want to take this opportunity to use the power of the Manchu court and let the Manchu court become my backing against Wang Qianyuan's unruliness. To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than taking advantage of each other. Ren Bu Mu Laizhang went to the Northwest Tianshan Mountains, Wang Qianyuan returned to Lianghu, so I took this opportunity, and also with the help of the imperial court, to control the entire northern martial arts, I killed all the way, all the martial arts against me and hindered me, all died under my sword. ”
Guang Yuan looked at his hands and said: "Now my hands are covered with blood, I am already a lot of sin, blood debts, in the eyes of people in the martial arts, I am already a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous wicked person, I am already fearless, I have unforgivable sins, why not be afraid of more sins." ”
Jueqing looked at Guangyuan and didn't speak for a long time, and finally, Jueqing got up and prepared to leave.
Guangyuan asked, "What are your plans in the future?" Jueqing said: "I have no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the martial arts, I will not help you, nor will I oppose you, I will return to Changbai Mountain and continue to guard Bo Xile." With that, Jueqing turned around and left.
