In the east of Tai'an City, there is a quiet and simple courtyard, which is very elegant and called a pure place. Neighbors in the neighborhood occasionally pass by the courtyard, always feel as if there is a breeze blowing on their faces, a touch of sandalwood, whether it is the scorching summer or the cold winter, the mood is always instantly peaceful, but it really responds to the name of the courtyard.

After a long time, the neighbors like to come to the vicinity of the courtyard to feel the beauty of peace of mind. There were many neighbors who came, and suddenly one day they found that there was a simple thatched pavilion and a few small stone piers in the open space in front of the courtyard, and they couldn't help but have a good impression of the owner of the courtyard.

A few days later, while the neighbors were sitting in the pavilion enjoying the peace, the gate of the small courtyard opened a crack, and a bald boy of seven or eight years old ran out with a little shyness and brought everyone a few cups of tea.

After going back and forth, everyone finally knew that the bald little boy was not born without hair, but shaved and removed his hair, and the reason why he did this was because he was practicing Buddhism, so the little boy was a "little monk".

As the people of Tai'an City, these neighbors have never heard of "monks" and "Buddhism", and they feel very strange, so the little monks often come out to tell stories to the neighbors under the pavilion, and the neighbors also like the little monks very much, and often bring the melons and fruits of the family to the little monks to eat.

In the afternoon of this day, Master Zhengjue went to see the Longhu Frost Sky Tower boat, and the little monk was standing upright in the courtyard, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep but not asleep, as if he was awake but not awake.

It turned out that he was practicing the mudra taught by the master, but after working hard for a long time, he still did not succeed in forming the vajra free seal taught by the master, the little monk shook his head, the thumbs and index fingers of both hands were close to each other, and the other fingers were crossed and closed, and placed on the front of the chest, forming a concentration seal to eliminate distracting thoughts.

"Ancient and modern, it's useless to tie the strength seal, you should increase the wisdom seal. A playful voice came.

"Second Senior Brother, why are you here!" the little monk turned around in surprise. Behind him stood a young monk in a white robe, with a high nose and thin lips.

"I just came out of the Green Pine Entertainment Company on the ninth floor, and I'm going to give you a gadget. The corners of the thin-lipped monk's mouth were slightly raised, "Unexpectedly, as soon as I came back, I saw that my stupid little junior brother failed to seal it." The thin-lipped monk smiled playfully again, "Little junior brother, senior brother has said that you have been many times, you, you should first make a few more wisdom enhancement seals and improve here." The thin-lipped monk's slender finger pointed at his head.

"Senior brother, you ...... You ......" The little monk blushed, but his sharp teeth when telling stories to his neighbors on weekdays were gone. After stammering for a long time, the little monk gave up continuing to argue with the second senior brother, and asked curiously: "Senior brother, what is the place of Qingsong Entertainment Company, why haven't I heard you say it before." ”

"The Green Pine Entertainment Company is the sixth floor of the ninth floor, and it has only opened in recent years, and it is mainly a very novel place for the monks to have fun. The thin-lipped monk introduced with great interest, "Thunder Pool Casino, Nine Heavens Falling, Divine Beast Arena and many other gameplay methods are very novel and interesting, attracting countless monks to have fun. ”

After that, the thin-lipped monk took out a bowl-sized smooth jade plaque from his bosom and threw it into the arms of the little monk, "This is the new image jade plaque recently released by Qingsong Entertainment Company, it is said that you can see a great drama of bitterness in the world, thinking that you have not seen anything in the world, I bought a jade plaque for you to have a long insight." ”

The little monk happily picked up the jade plaque and slowly injected true qi into the jade plaque, and a thatched house appeared in the picture.

Yuan Liang, who smelled the smell of meat, stood still, and now he can still eat meat, how could he not afford to buy rice, is this red grapefruit lying to himself? He glanced at the red grapefruit in front of him without a trace, but the face of the red grapefruit in plain clothes was still full of anxiety and worry.

Yuan Liang secretly scolded himself for being too suspicious, this meat smell may be the leftovers of the red grapefruit picked up from the rich and noble, or the smell of other people's cooking rice, he helped Yuan Shu and the red grapefruit to get off the horse, and took the lead to the thatched house.

The thatched house was low, and when the dilapidated wooden door was opened, a faint smell of blood mixed with the smell of meat came to the nose. Several men and women in ragged clothes sat around the stove, munching on meat, and a thin man was choked by the throat and hammered his chest constantly because he was in too much of a hurry.

A sallow-faced woman with a worn-out porcelain bowl was feeding a frail baby less than a year old in her arms, taking small sips of broth.

In the previously empty swill bucket at the door, there were some bloody intestines at this time, and the intestines were very shriveled and exuded a faint smell of blood.

A blood-stained kitchen knife was thrown next to the bucket of swill.

On the dilapidated wooden bed on the left side of the room, the bedding was a mess, and several children's clothes had been torn and were still messy on the bed.

Yuan Liang was stunned at the door, and several people in the house were also shocked by Yuan Liang's push door and stopped eating.

The woman who was feeding the broth in her arms cowered into a corner.

A relatively tall man next to the stove squeezed out a stiff smile at Yuan Liang, he took out a piece of meat from the pot, and said gently, "You can also eat a little." ”

Looking at the half slender arm of the child held by the tall man, Yuan Liang roared in his head, and a strong feeling of nausea permeated him, he forcibly held back, turned around quickly, and planned to take Hongyu and Yuan Shu to escape from this hell on earth.

However, it was too late.

"Ah——————h

The tall man's arm holding a piece of meat hovered awkwardly in mid-air, and several other men and women also looked at Yuan Liang and the three of them nervously.

Hongyu slowly walked through the door and picked up the bloody kitchen knife next to the swill bucket.

She pointed a kitchen knife at the people next to the stove and asked coldly, "Why did you kill my brother?"

The tall man slowly withdrew his arm, not daring to look directly into Hongyu's eyes, and said dryly: "We didn't kill that child, when we came here, he was lying on the bed and already dead." ”

"Why did you kill my brother!" Hongyu asked in a loud voice as if she hadn't heard the man's answer, her eyes were red, and she stared at the tall man.

"Son, when we came in, your brother was lying on the bed, and his breath was weak. The eldest man in the crowd said hoarsely, "We are so hungry, and your brother is really not ready, so we will ......" The old man himself could not say any more, he took the child under the age of one from the arms of the thin woman beside him, ignored the woman's pleas, approached the red grapefruit, and said with a crying voice: "This is my grandson, and it will not be done soon, so I will give it to you." After boiling and drying, you can make it last a little bit. After speaking, the old man twisted the neck of the child in his arms, and the old tears in his eyes slowly crawled out of the shriveled eye sockets like insects.

Hongyu looked at the child who was already angry when the old man's neck was broken and thrown to the ground, the hand holding the kitchen knife trembled, and slowly raised it, as if he was about to rush to the old man in front of him.

Yuan Liang wanted to step forward to stop it, but looking at this hellish scene, he stopped again. This knife should have been cut on the royal family, on himself.

Hongyu's hand holding the knife finally stopped, her eyes were already bloodshot, and a drop of bloody tears slowly flowed, "If I want to live on this, I'd rather die." ”

The red grapefruit slashed fiercely at his slender neck, and the blood was like a small red flower, spraying on the ground, on the wall, and also on the face of Yuan Liang, who had not come to stop him.

Yuan Liang hugged Hongyu's body as light as a piece of paper, and his mind kept flashing Hongyu's shy request to bite his lip, tears like rain, despair slashing at his neck, and the sad sentence "I'd rather die".

Looking at the thin bodies of everyone by the stove, with sallow cheeks, dark green lips, and desperate expressions, and then at the old man who was still standing in front of Hongyu, like a dead wood, Yuan Liang shook his lips, and finally didn't say anything, picked up Hongyu, pulled Yuan Shu, who was frightened, and left silently.

In a gorgeous hall on Qingyang Mountain, three young men and women sat around the table, looking at a plate-sized smooth jade plaque together, the woman in the jade plaque was covered in blood and fell into the arms of the young man in white, and the charming woman in front of the table clapped her hands and said: "Senior Brother Jikong, I won!" I guess that the woman who died her brother was not so bold and did not dare to kill the old man. ”

After that, the charming woman pocketed a bottle of red glass cup, a bronze short sword and a black bracelet on the table, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward, senior brother and sister, but I will be disrespectful." ”

The handsome man named Ji Kong doted on the charming woman and said softly: "You are clever." ”

The other tall and thin woman at the table seemed to be a little displeased, and said expressionlessly: "Ji Ling, this scene happened at the bottom of our mountain, you shouldn't have played some tricks, right?"

The charming woman covered her heart and said coquettishly: "Senior sister, you are really lifting people, when the gambling game was just agreed, the little sister just felt that the woman in the jade card looked cowardly and incompetent, so she dared to bet with everyone." ”

"Okay, okay", as if sensing that the atmosphere between the two junior sisters was not right, Ji Kong got up and started a round, "A small gamble, just having fun, next time Qingsong Entertainment Company will release a new image jade card, I will buy it and watch it with the two junior sisters." ”

The picture in the video has been frozen at the moment when the young man in white carries the girl's body on his back and leaves with another girl, but the little monk standing in the pure ground is holding a jade plaque and can't calm down for a long time.

"Senior brother, is everything in this jade plaque true?" the little monk's voice seemed to be a little choked, "I often talk to my neighbors, aren't the people in this world doing well?"

"Silly junior brother, I brought you the jade plate today, just to tell you that the lives of the people in Dongzhou have indeed been stable and happy in recent years, but looking at this world, there is hell everywhere in the world. ”
