Chapter 1384: Seeing the Old Man Again (Part II)
"Huichen, your sister has come to see you......" Huikong walked to the gate of the temple, folded his hands and said slowly.
I saw a shaved monk on the futon slowly stand up, slowly turning around with his hands folded, as if to greet the comer.
And the moment he turned around, Xiao Tian and Su Jia immediately recognized this person - it was Liu Jinquan who was good, although he had been separated for three years and cut his hair to become a monk, Xiao Tian and Su Jia would definitely not forget this face.
He is Liu Jinquan, whose legal name is Huichen, and when Xiao Su left Shaolin Temple yesterday, he was also secretly peeping behind the temple.
However, for the arrival of Xiao Tian and Su Jia, Huichen seemed very calm, I don't know if it was calm or deliberately pretended, Huichen was not like Liu Duan and Liu Shuibi, who were surprised by the arrival of Xiao Su and the others.
"Brother, I've come to see you......" Liu Shuibi still had that pitiful face, and said slowly and softly.
Ke Huichen didn't pay attention to his sister, but watched Xiao Tian and Su Jia for a long time, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Liu Jinquan, do you remember us......" Finally, it was Xiao Tian who spoke first, looking at Huichen's dumbfounded expression, Xiao Tian couldn't help asking.
"Amitabha, welcome all the donors to come......" However, Huichen seemed to pretend not to know Xiao Su and the others, and just folded his hands and saluted.
"You really don't know us?" However, hearing this, Xiao Tian couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Hey, three years ago in Liusha Town, you and Jia'er lost the duel, so that you were injured and disabled...... Later, we were hunted down and killed by your master Lu Huan's seniors, and you have not been heard from since then......"
Huichen didn't speak, just looked at Xiao Tian with a flat face, as if he deliberately pretended not to know.
"What the hell happened after that?...... You speak—" Looking at Huichen, that is, Liu Jinquan's silent appearance, Xiao Tian was a little anxious.
"Amitabha, if the donor is upset, why don't you come to the temple to put incense on the pillars......" Who knows, Huichen is still that innocent look, and said lightly.
"You......" Xiao Tian was a little sulky when he heard this, and wanted to continue to ask Liu Jinquan but felt inappropriate, after all, he was now a disciple of Shaolin Temple, and if he forcibly asked, he would lose his etiquette.
"Brother......" Liu Shuibi said with a low look in her eyes, "Xiao Shaoxia and Miss Su came here specially to come, are you really ...... Don't you know them......"
Huichen didn't speak, just saluted with one hand and said nothing.
"It's like a different person...... Su Jia said slowly behind him, "The last time I saw him three years ago, he wasn't like this......"
"Three years ago, did you say anything to Jia'er?...... Xiao Tian couldn't help but ask again.
Su Jia didn't answer immediately, but the memories of three years ago floated in her mind......
(in recall)......
Three years ago, Liang Weng Mountain, Su Jia was entrusted by Gao Yinggao's predecessors to come to the mountain alone to collect medicine. Who wanted to pass halfway through the road, but actually saw Liu Jinquan himself......
"Come out, don't sneak around in the back......" Su Jia turned around and said calmly.
I saw a white figure slowly walking out at the bend of the slope...... Su Jia was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed, "Liu Jinquan?
It turned out that the person who followed Su Jia was actually the "Shadowless Divine Sword" Liu Jinquan. I saw Liu Jinquan's long hair scattered at this time, his eyes were blank, and he was standing in front of Su Jia with a haggard look.
"What are you doing with me?" asked Su Jia solemnly. Since the Liusha Town incident, Su Jia has already become disgusted with Liu Jinquan, so she asked curiously.
Liu Jinquan said lightly: "I'm just ...... Lose sleep over something...... Your hurt ......"
"It's you who should be worried...... Although Su Jia was disgusted with Liu Jinquan, seeing that Liu Jinquan seemed to be desperate, he said seriously, "Do you know, your sister has been looking for you, and she is worried about your ......"
"I know......" Liu Jinquan didn't wait for Su Jia to finish, and said again, "But I don't have the face to see them again......
Su Jia was silent, and her eyes didn't look at Liu Jinquan.
Suddenly, Liu Jinquan asked again: "Miss Su, I want to ask you a question this time, and I really want to know the answer to this question......
Su Jia closed her eyes and thought about it, and then said, "Okay, let's ask any questions......
"I really like you, Miss Su......" Liu Jinquan said, "Miss Su, have you ...... to me?" Even a hint of favorability?"
Su Jia shook her head and said, "Impossible, I have never been, and I will never have ......."
"What about Xiao Tian?" Liu Jinquan asked again, "You are in love with Xiao Tian! Yes, you are in love with ...... Then can you tell me that Xiao Tianbi and I are worse than ...... Where's it?"
Su Jia said solemnly: "Ah Tian has a loving heart, he can think about others in everything, even if he risks his life and faces many difficulties, but you oppress the people and do evil, you only think about yourself." So it can be said that Ah Tian has a real manhood, and you don't. Not only that, you still have the heart of a vain villain......" Su Jia's words were tingling.
Hearing Su Jia's words, Liu Jinquan suddenly felt his heart broken, but he was calm on the surface and seemed to accept all this silently. He asked, "If I am reformed, will the people who have been oppressed by me forgive me?"
Su Jia closed her eyes, slowly shook her head and said, "I don't know ......"
"Miss Su......" Liu Jinquan became in a trance.
Su Jia slowly walked towards Liu Jinquan, and said as she walked: "We have drawn a line, please stop pestering me and Ah Tian......
"That'...... Can you forgive me?" asked Liu Jinquan after a pause.
Su Jia walked up to Liu Jinquan, first stopped, and said softly, "You...... Let's do it for ourselves......" Then he passed by and slowly left Liu Jinquan......
(In reality)......
"It can't be because I said too heavy things that time...... Su Jia said silently in her heart, "Now that I think about it, Shaomu Mountain is not far from the ground, if Liu Jinquan went directly to Shaolin Temple that time, could it be that he became ......a monk at that time?"
"Amitabha, it is not overnight that Senior Brother Huichen came to our Shaolin Temple, as early as three years ago, before the Bianliang Kendo Conference, he had already come to this temple......" Huikong said on the side at this time.
"Three years ago, the kendo conference?" said so...... Xiao Tian seemed to think of something, and suddenly mentioned it.
"We left Liusha Town, entangled with Lu Huan's seniors for a long time, left Master Gao, and after leaving Liang Weng Mountain, we went directly to Bianliang ......" Su Jia followed and said, "At that time, it was the beginning of the kendo conference, if this is counted, the last time I saw Liu Jinquan in Liang Weng Mountain, it should be that time......"
"Brother......" Liu Shuibi looked at her brother silently with a sad expression.
"By the way, Sister Shui, after you led your subordinates to leave Plum Blossom Villa that time, did you go back to Liusha Town directly?"
"Yes...... Liu Shuibi replied silently, "because I couldn't find my brother anywhere, I had to go back to Liusha Town with my men first......"
"Then how did you know that your brother went to the Shaolin Temple?" Su Jia continued.
"Well, this ......" However, Liu Shuibi seemed to remember some bad memories, and was silent on the side, her eyes even trembling a little.
"This matter is not something that can be said clearly in one sentence, and then there was a great event in Liusha Town......" Liu Duan responded at this time.
"What happened three years ago?" Xiao Tian continued to ask, thinking that everything about Liu Jinquan might be related to these karma, Xiao Tian once again focused on Huichen Liu Jinquan.
However, Huichen didn't pay attention to Xiao Tian's words, although there was an inexplicably complicated look in his eyes, he kept silent, as if he didn't want to face the past.
"At this time, you still don't say anything?" Who would have thought this time, Xiao Tian finally couldn't help it, stepped forward and grabbed Huichen's clothes and said, "What have you experienced in the past three years, and what has happened in Liusha Town?"
"Ah Tian, calm down......" Su Jia looked at Xiao Tian's impulsive appearance and said dissuasively.
"You know, your sister has been coming to Shaolin Temple every month for three years for you, just to see you-" Xiao Tian continued, "But now your sister is living so badly, not at all like three years ago, don't you care at all? What hardships she has suffered in Liusha Town in the past three years, do you know?——
"Xiao Shaoxia, you let my brother go, if he doesn't want to say it, forget it......" Liu Shuibi didn't want to see such a scene, as if she really had something hidden in her heart, and pulled Xiao Tian's sleeve on the side.
Huichen still didn't speak, but a trace of tears flashed inexplicably in the corners of his eyes - it was obvious that Liu Jinquan must have a lot of unbearable past, but he didn't want to mention the "sad pain" in front of these acquaintances, so he kept silent.
"Hey-" Xiao Tian had no choice, so he put Huichen down.
"Maybe there's really something unspeakable......" Su Jia seemed to have a trace of pity for Liu Jinquan's experience this time, and said silently.
Looking at Su Jia's compassionate gaze, Huichen inadvertently forgot Su Jia's glance, as if the emotions of three years ago were still indelible, although he had become a Shaolin disciple, he still couldn't step through the red dust.
"Let me tell you......" Huichen folded his hands and continued, "I know best what happened to Huichen three years ago, since Senior Brother Huichen doesn't want to come, we don't need to force ......"
"And what happened in Liusha Town later...... Liu Duan also said on the side, "Brother Xiao, after you and Miss Su left, something terrible happened in Liusha Town...... Abi will become like this now, and it has nothing to do with that incident......"
Looking at Liu Shuibi's down-and-out plain clothes, which could not be compared with the grace and luxury of three years ago, Xiao Tian and Su Jia also wanted to know what happened three years ago......
In order not to disturb Huichen again, everyone went to the room where Huikong was resting, Huikong sat on the futon, lit a pillar of incense, and then said silently: "Three years ago, that is, just before the kendo conference, Huichen's junior brother, that is, Liu Jinquan, came to our Shaolin Temple, fainted at the gate outside the temple, and was found by the abbot and us......"
"Fainting in front of the temple, could it be that he was seriously injured?" Xiao Tian couldn't help but ask.
"That's not ......," Huikong continued, "maybe it's because you haven't eaten for days, or if you have an emotional breakdown...... At that time, he fainted at the gate of our Shaolin Temple, but because the abbot and the disciples of the sect were going to Bianliang to participate in the kendo conference, so before he cut his hair and became a monk, he was always taken care of by me and Huinian and other junior disciples, until the abbot came back, experienced some accidents, and did not agree to let him become ......a monk."
"Agree to become a monk?" Su Jia couldn't help but ask when she heard this, "Could it be that before Liu Jinquan became a monk, didn't the people in your temple acquiesce?"
"Because it is not so easy for foreign children to come to Shaolin Temple to become monk......s," Huichen continued, "The so-called cutting off all roots and passing through all laws, before comprehending the Buddha's path, outsiders are not allowed to enter our temple at will...... So when he was down, we just took pity on him and let him live in the monastery temporarily......"
"Before comprehending the Buddha's path, what exactly is the Buddha's way......" Xiao Tian continued to ask.
"Buddhism is not one or two clear words at all, if you don't experience the suffering of the world, there is no way to understand the Zen machine......" Huikong said unhurriedly, listening to his tone of words, it can be seen that Huikong can become the chief disciple of Shaolin Temple, not to mention Buddhism and martial arts.
"Really, if you want to understand Buddhism so much, do you also want to become a monk?" Su Jia heard this, and couldn't help but ridicule Xiao Tian on the side.
"I want you girl to talk a lot......" Xiao Tian gritted his teeth and replied.
"There is a saying in Buddhism, 'Those who have not heard and heard, those who have not seen and understood, and those who have not reasoned are not allowed to enter the Buddha'......" Huichen said patiently on the side, "It is precisely because of this that when Huichen first came to our Shaolin Temple, the abbot did not agree to let him enter the Shaolin Temple......"
"Then I was able to enter because I experienced the hardships of the world, right?" Xiao Tian continued to ask, "Master Huikong, you said yesterday that Liu Jinquan's Buddhism and martial arts in your temple are on par with yours, so it can be seen that he has experienced a lot......
"That'......" Huikong clasped his hands together and nodded silently.
"What the hell is that, Liu Jinquan has become like this now, in the eyes of me and Jia'er, this is completely unimaginable......" Thinking of Liu Jinquan's silence in front of himself and others just now, Xiao Tian couldn't help asking, "Can you tell us more specifically, Master Huikong?"
"This incident should be compared with the major event that happened in Liusha Town three years ago, and it was precisely because of that incident that Ah Bi and I knew that Liu Jinquan had become a monk and went to Shaolin Temple...... Liu Duan mentioned at this time.
"The big event that happened in Liusha Town three years ago ......" Su Jia couldn't help but mumble when she heard this.
"What happened three years ago, I always hear you say this, it seems that things have a lot of origins......" Xiao Tian seemed to be interested, and continued to ask closely.
"...... three years ago" However, Liu Shuibi wanted to say something, but as if she remembered bad memories, she didn't say anything again for a long time.
"Let me say it......" Liu Duan continued, "Brother Xiao, after you and Miss Su left, in fact, Liusha Town was not peaceful......
Immediately, Liu Duan and Huikong slowly told Xiao Su and the others what happened three years ago......
