Chapter 374: Death
After Murong Fu revealed the hiding place of the sweeping monk, in order to conceal the master of a grandmaster, Xuan Ci had no choice but to speak: "This matter will be talked about later! Xuan Ci has committed the precept of adultery, and he is guilty of the same crime as Xuzhu, as the abbot, the punishment will be doubled, and after Xuan Ci is punished, he will naturally take you to find the old monk and make it clear!" As he spoke, he turned around and said to the monks behind him: "Law enforcement monk, severely punish Xuan Ci with 200 sticks." Shaolin Temple's reputation is at stake, and favoritism is not allowed. As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, facing the Buddha statue in the Daxiong Hall of Shaolin Temple, and lifted his monk's robe by himself, exposing his back.
The heroes looked at each other, and the abbot of Shaolin Temple was punished in public, which was really appalling and contrary to physical conditions.
Xuan Xiao said: "Senior brother, you ......"
Xuan Ci said sharply: "My Shaolin Temple has a reputation for hundreds of years, how can it be worse than my hands?"
Xuan Lin said with tears in his eyes: "Yes! Law enforcement monk, use torture." He knew that Xuan Ci had already used his life to keep the sweeping monk's secret.
The two law enforcement monks bowed together and said, "Abbot, I have offended." Then he straightened up, raised his torture staff, and struck Xuan Ci on the back. The second monk knew that the abbot was tortured, and the most uncomfortable thing was to be humiliated in public, not in the flesh and skin, if his subordinates were tolerant and showed it to others, and fell into the handle, then the abbot's humiliation became fruitless, and it was beaten down with a stick, and there was a crackling sound, and in a moment Xuan Ci's back and thighs were beaten with cane marks, and blood splashed the monk's robe. The group of monks heard the law enforcement monks shouting "one, five, ten" and the number of cane reproaches, all lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, silently chanting the Buddha.
Master Daoqing of Pudu Temple suddenly said: "Senior Brother Xuanxi, your temple respects the precepts of Buddhism. The abbot was punished as one, and the poor monk was admired. It's just that Senior Brother Xuanci is old, and he refuses to use his skills to protect himself. But the two hundred sticks could not stand it. The poor monk took the liberty of saying a favor, and now he has beaten eighty rods, and the remaining number, for the time being, will be recorded, and he will be beaten together in the future, not violating the precepts of your temple. Many of the heroes shouted. said: "Exactly, exactly, let's also ask for a favor." ”
But in Xuan Ci's eyes, how could Xuan Lone, who saw the will of death, agree. Before he could speak, Xuan Ci said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness, but the precepts are like a mountain, and you can't be lenient." Law enforcement monks. Use your staff quickly. "The two law enforcement monks had already suspended their executions. Listening to the abbot's resolute words, he had to fight again five or ten. Kankan beat more than forty rods, Xuan Ci couldn't support it, his hands on the ground were weak, and his face touched the dust.
Ye Erniang cried: "The abbot must be blamed for this matter, it's all my fault! It was my father who was seriously ill, and the abbot master came to treat him and saved my father's life." I am grateful to my abbot. admired again, and the poor woman could not repay it. And he made a promise with his body. It was all my youth and confusion, ignorance, ignorance, not knowing whether it should be, and it was my sin. This...... This...... The rest of the sticks, let me take them!" while crying, he ran forward, to lie down on Xuan Ci, and accept the rod on his behalf.
Xuan Ci pointed out with his left hand, and with a soft snort, he sealed her acupoint, and said with a smile: "Idiot, you are not a Buddhist nun, you can't break your love, what is the crime?" Ye Erniang stayed in the local area, unable to move, tears streaming down.
Xuan Ci shouted: "Walking staff!" After two hundred strokes of the staff, blood flowed all over the ground, and Xuan Ci barely took a breath of true qi to protect his heart, so as not to faint in pain. The two law enforcement monks put the torture staff up and said to Xuan Lone: "Report the first seat, Abbot Xuan Ci has finished receiving the cane." Xuan Lin nodded, not knowing what to say.
Xuan Ci struggled to stand up and said: "Xuan Ci violated the great precepts of Buddhism, and can no longer be the abbot of Shaolin Temple. ”
Xuan Lin stepped forward and bowed together, and said with tears in his eyes: "Receive the decree"
Xuan Ci pointed at Ye Erniang, trying to unlock her acupoint, but after being seriously injured, it was difficult for the true qi to condense, and this finger did not take effect. Seeing this, Xuzhu hurriedly unlocked the acupoint for his mother. Xuan Ci beckoned to the two, and Ye Erniang and Xu Zhu walked to him. Xuzhu hesitated, not knowing whether to call "Daddy" or "Abbot".
Xuan Ci stretched out his hand, grabbed Ye Erniang's wrist with his right hand, grabbed Xuzhu with his left hand, and said: "For more than 20 years, I have been hanging on your mother and son day and night, knowing that I have violated the great precepts, but I dare not repent to the monks, but today I can be liberated in one fell swoop, and from then on, I will have no fear and feel happy." He said: "Life is in the world, there is desire and love, troubles and suffering, and liberation is joy!" After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes and smiled peacefully.
Ye Erniang and Xuzhu didn't dare to move, I don't know what else he had to say, but they felt that his palms were getting colder and colder. Ye Erniang was taken aback, stretched out her hand to probe his snort, but she was already exhausted and died, and changed color and shouted, "You...... You...... Why did you leave me?" suddenly jumped and fell from mid-air, and with a bang, he fell at Xuan Ci's feet, twisted his body a few times, and then did not move.
Zhao Tiancheng looked at Xuzhu who was crying beside the two of them, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his heart, but he was buried deep in his heart, since he embarked on this road, there was no turning back, and if he didn't want to be separated from his relatives forever, he could only be the enemy of the world.
Slowly highlighting a breath of turbidity, now that Xuan Ci has been solved without blood, the next thing should be the main event, looking at Xuan Ci and saying: "Abbot Xuan Ci has passed away, but Shaolin still has one more thing to explain to everyone!" Xuan Lin was very angry that Zhao Tiancheng forced Xuan Ci to death, so he didn't give Zhao Tiancheng any good looks at him, lowered his head and replied: "Now that the abbot has passed away, my Shaolin is about to close the temple to collect the abbot's body first, and hold a funeral, and the rest of the things will wait until this matter is over!" "The abbot's words are wrong!" Zhao Tiancheng pointed to Xiao Feng on the side and said, "My eldest brother's mother, Aunt Xiao's revenge has not been avenged!" and pointed to Murong Bo on the side and said: "The grievances of this senior also need Shaolin to clarify, these two have a very close relationship with me, if they become hostile because of this matter...... At the same time, because of this incident, so many heroes died in the rivers and lakes, shouldn't Shaolin give everyone an explanation?"
After Zhao Tiancheng finished speaking, many people who were related to the people who died back then shouted one after another, and even the beggar gang didn't know what the plan was, and even asked Shaolin to give an explanation for the unjust death of the Wang gang leader and the Ma deputy gang leader under the leadership of Quan Guanqing.
Xuan Lin struck a Buddha salute, "Amitabha!" With a sound of internal force, he immediately suppressed the shouting of the audience, "That old monk has never left Shaolin, how could he pass the news to Murong Shizhu!" For Zhao Tiancheng, who was still aggressive, Xuan Lin had already moved to kill. (To be continued......)
