Chapter Seventy-Five: Moongreen Silk
Looking at the woman's rushing expression, I ignored her commanding words and turned my head to look at Master Huikong.
"Master, what kind of seal inheritance did you just say, is this the box?" I took out the box and handed it over.
Master Huikong didn't expect that I would hand him the box that I had finally picked up so trustingly, and after being stunned, there was a hint of praise in his eyes, and he took the box. In fact, I also know that since they said that this is some kind of seal inheritance, they will not let me take it, and since they can't take it, why don't I hand it over quickly.
"Amitabha, yes, Master Zhang knows why this temple is called the Demon Prison Temple?"
"Why?"
"Hundreds of years ago, the demon cultivator appeared, attracting countless monks to attack it, although it was finally eliminated, the poor monk had no intention of discovering the inheritance crystal of this demon cultivator, but the crystal of this inheritance was extremely strong, the poor monk was not enough to destroy, so he had to seal it, and establish a demon temple to protect it secretly. ”
"What about the basilis?"
"The snake demon was originally a demon beast guarding the formation, and the poor monk surrendered it and has been admitted to this temple. ”
"Hmph, surrender?" the woman sneered, and then said sharply: "Since you surrendered, why do you still have demonic nature and harm my sister's life?"
"Amitabha, the poor monk said that there must be a secret in this, and Wuming also said that he had no intention of harming people, but just wanted to stop it, and it was the man who betrayed his sister in order to protect himself, which caused the tragedy. ”
"Your sister, is the wife surnamed Song?"
"Wife, it should be said, it's a Taoist couple, the kid surnamed Song, I saw that he was not right, and somehow deceived my sister's heart, hum, I didn't expect that I came to steal the inheritance of the Demon Dao, and after learning that my sister died, I kept looking for him, but he seemed to be dead, and there was no news. The woman's face was angry, and there was a flush on her pale face.
What should be known, I already know a little, it turns out that the old man surnamed Song did not unintentionally discover this place back then, but deliberately thought of stealing the inheritance of the Demon Dao, and the snake demon did not want to kill him, but he didn't know it, and used his wife as a shield, and as a result, his wife died, and he also shattered the elixir. He took the retrieval of his wife's remains as a guide and asked me to retrieve this box, and said that there was an essence in this box, naturally, he also knew that I couldn't open the seal on this box, but he was a mere mortal who had a way, and after inheriting the Demon Dao Exercises, he would kill me, and he didn't know it.
"I can take you to him, but you have to listen to me along the way, otherwise, even if you kill him, you may not be able to learn the truth!"
The woman hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and nodded.
"Amitabha, the two donors can rest here for one night, and set off tomorrow, enlighten their hearts, and prepare their chambers. ”
"Hmph, even if the snake demon doesn't have a heart, but it can be regarded as the murderer of my sister, and when I find out the truth, I will come to it to settle accounts!" After speaking, he turned his head and followed Wuxin to the side room.
"Amitabha, isn't it fate!"
Master Huikong shook his head and turned to leave.
I sat down for a while, and the little monk named Wuxin came back and took me to the wing room on the other side.
"Are there only two monks in this temple, you and Master Huikong?"
"Huh?" the little monk was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, there is also Senior Brother Wuming." ”
"Oh, Isn't it the snake demon?"
The little monk Wuxin was stunned when he heard this, turned his head and folded his hands, and said solemnly: "Whether it is a demon or a demon, if you enter the empty door, you are all children of the Buddhist family, and in your past and present lives, they are just floating clouds." ”
Looking at the solemn expression on his immature face, I couldn't help but smile, "Okay, the little master has such a clear understanding at a young age, and his future achievements are no less than your master." ”
"Hehe" The little monk Wuxin heard me praise him, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he scratched his head, but he was obviously extremely happy.
"Aren't you afraid of your senior brother?"
"Amitabha, although the senior brother is a snake demon, he is kind-hearted and dedicated to the Buddha, and he likes the senior brother very much. ”
"Hmm. Seeing that the wing room had arrived, I nodded and said, "In this way, I will rest, and I will bother the little master." ”
"Amitabha, the donor is born and rests early. ”
There was nothing to say all night, but as soon as it was dawn, the woman came and knocked on the door, saying to leave early, although I didn't like this woman's attitude, but I thought that she was also for her sister, so I would be with her.
We didn't say goodbye to Master Huikong, who was doing the morning class, but with a master like him, our departure couldn't hide from him.
galloping all the way, the woman only revealed that her name was Yueqingsi on the way, and she didn't say anything else, and I didn't bother to know so much, seeing that although she was anxious, but the speed was really not fast, I didn't care, just followed her and accommodated her speed.
For three days, we were all on the road, and seeing that she had no intention of stopping to rest, I frowned slightly.
"Moon girl, go all the way like this, you will be overdrawn in your spiritual power before you arrive in Flying Fluff City, even if you are anxious, he is just a mortal, where can he go, why not take a break, it will not have an impact." ”
Yue Qingsi frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head.
I smiled bitterly and let her go her way until the fifth day.
"Moon girl, I can't support it anymore if it goes on like this?"
"Moon girl, it's time for us to take a break, if you want to continue, I won't accompany you!"
"Moon girl, moon girl?"
Reached out and patted her arm, but I didn't want her to suddenly turn her head to stare at me, but her eyes were bloodshot.
"Moon Girl, you"
Before she finished speaking, Yue Qingsi's eyes rolled and she fainted directly. I hugged her, God, if you are the only one, such a high distance, it would be strange if you didn't fall to death, and when the time comes, it will be known to others that a master of the fake heavenly realm actually fell to his death while flying, and you will become a laughing stock among the monks.
When I arrived in a town, I found an inn and asked for a room, fortunately, she was only injured and forcibly overdrawn her spiritual power, and there was no danger to her life, after feeding her a pill to supplement spiritual power, I closed the door and let her rest, while I walked out alone, found a restaurant, sat quietly, and watched.
I don't know when I started, I like to sit by the window and watch the crowd quietly, even if I don't think, even if I don't feel it. In the killing array, I was faced with the feeling of death again, I knew that in fact, I was extremely afraid of death, not because I wanted revenge, but simply afraid, afraid of that kind of darkness, afraid of that kind of loneliness, and this fear of death, so that Master Huikong's Buddhism left a blank in my heart, and even, for revenge, I was a little less angry than before, as if now the passivity is greater than the initiative, these two words seem to be just a burden in my heart, just a task.
Have I changed?
Looking at the bustling streets, I was a little lost.
Out of the corner of my eye, I found that Yue Qingsi was sitting opposite me at some point, looking at the flow of people outside the window in a daze, revealing a trace of memory.
I didn't bother her, she and I are the same kind of people, we are both for revenge, maybe she is more confused than me, because nearly forty years have passed, she is still lonely on the road of revenge, but, I don't know what kind of attachment makes her able to persist in Zhisi, and even if she is not healed from her injuries, she has to desperately find the truth.
Time, in the eyes of our monks, is not so important, it is just a concept, and sometimes it is not even a concept.
The sunset gradually came to an end, and the night was full of temptation to envelop the drunken people, and our thoughts were also pulled back to reality in the laughter of people, whether fake or real.
Yueqingsi glanced at me, perhaps I was a little confused, as if I saw a trace of sadness in her eyes inadvertently, but it was fleeting, leaving only a deep spring, telling the memories of the past.
"I have a feeling, a feeling, that we are very similar"
Yue Qingsi's opening surprised me a little, because she had the impression that she was the kind of person with a hot temper and not smiling in the past few days, which matched her in black clothes very well, maybe because I saved her, she was willing to talk to me at this moment.
"Because, you and I are both bearers of memories. ”
My answer made her eyes tremble slightly, as if there was a hint of sympathy, or perhaps, it was because she hadn't confided in her depression for too long, and after a long time, she said something that completely subverted her image in my eyes.
"I have a younger sister, her name is Yue Liuli, back then, we were also in a small mountain village, because I was arrogant, so, the adults in the village liked her more, including my parents, watching her being boasted and pampered, I was very jealous, and at the same time, very envious"
Tonight's sky, moonless, the night is a little dim, it is an unliked night, Yue Qingsi tilted her head slightly, looking intently at the dark clouds in the dark, as if talking to herself, telling her unknown heartache.
"Yue Qingsi, Yue Liuli, even her name can tell that she is more popular than me, what strong reason do I have not to hate her?"
"As the days passed, my hatred for her became stronger and stronger, and when she was nine years old, she was seven years old, and the thieves came, killed the people in the village, and kidnapped me and her."
"I was scared, I cried, but she calmed down, used her intelligence, let me and her live peacefully in the bandits' den, two years, made mistakes, she carried it for me, there was something delicious, she gave it to me"
Yueqingsi shed tears, maybe she didn't even notice herself, now she, on her pale face as paper, tears flowed, how delicate she looked.
"Finally one day, she found a chance, a chance to escape, but I betrayed her out of fear and jealousy! She was locked alone in the firewood room with her broken leg, and that month, although I had good food and good clothes, I had never been so lonely, so helpless, and the pain in my heart was no less than her!"
"When she was released, I watched her limp towards me, I cried, how I wished she hit me, scolded me, but she didn't, she hugged me and said sorry, I hurt her, but she told me sorry, this should have been what I said"
Needless to say, many things, the more I recall, the more my heart hurts. I poured a glass of wine and gently pushed it in front of her.
Yueqingsi looked at me with red eyes, and I saw her tears flow into her mouth and into the wine.
"I'm going to say!" Drinking all the wine in the cup in one gulp, Yue Qingsi gritted her teeth, endured great pain, and almost roared: "You just looked at the crowd below, the emotion in your eyes, that sadness, that confusion, the same as me, but the pain in your heart, choose to hide, choose to bury, I am different, I will turn the scar out every once in a while, and let my heart hurt again, because I am afraid, I am afraid that one day I will be numb, I will forget, I will only feel that I am still alive when I slowly tear open the scar!"
