Chapter 1607 What is the crime?
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng took a breath, "So Master Huicong is really going to become a Buddha?"
After saying this, Jiang Cheng himself They were stunned for a moment, and then a strong uneasiness surged in his heart. He would rather Huicong was a ghost than face a Buddha who would kill innocent babies.
After a while, Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. After all, his worries must be based on one premise, that is, everything the abbot said in the darkness in front of him was true.
The abbot rarely answered Jiang Cheng's question, but chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, donor, are you willing to listen to the poor monk to continue speaking?"
We’ve come all the way, wouldn’t it be a big loss to leave now? Jiang Cheng pretended to be calm and said, “Master, please speak.”
As if thinking of something, the abbot sighed dullly, “At dawn, senior brother just said Not long after he said these words, Huicong came. He walked out from behind the Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall with his hands clasped. No one saw when he hid in, and the monks outside were not aware at all. "
“Seen Senior uncles, masters, and apprentices are here.”
“Although I was shocked by my senior brother’s words at the time, I was so angry that I was shaking when I thought about the evil things my apprentice had committed. Let him do everything "Unexpectedly, Huicong looked at me calmly, clasped his hands and asked: Master, what's wrong with me doing good deeds?"
< br>
"I was stunned. I don't know how he dared to say such words in front of the Buddha in the Buddhist hall."
Suddenly, Jiang Cheng was keenly aware that the abbot's tone had changed; Trembling, as if he was in extreme fear, "Also. And Hui Cong's eyes. His eyes changed and became so compassionate, just like the Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall. Such a look!"
"He is pitying us, pitying us old monks with nothing to show for it!"
"Master, don't be excited, speak slowly, speak slowly. ."
The abbot's sudden appearance also frightened Jiang Cheng. He was worried that if the abbot could not take a breath, he would be in vain today.
After the violent breathing, the abbot slowly calmed down, "I was shocked at the time. Fortunately, one of my junior brothers was the first to speak. The junior brother stretched out his hand to make a petition. Then he cleared his mind and eyesight and sat on the futon in lotus position. He asked Huicong why he broke "Lust and Caution."
Jiang Cheng probably had a picture of that time in his mind, sitting in lotus position, also known as "Vajrasana". Because the Buddha often used this sitting posture during meditation, it was also called "meditation sitting". The abbot's junior brother was Inviting Huicong to sit down and debate scriptures.
Based on the difference in status and generation between the two, the junior abbot is suspected of bullying the younger, but this also reflects the importance these eminent monks attach to Huicong.
"Huicong sat in meditation like this, raising his head calmly and calmly: A few months ago, more than a dozen village women hung from the beam outside the temple gate, and their bodies were not found after they died. Did my uncle know about this?"
"In dozens of nearby villages, how many village women hang themselves from the rafters and drown themselves in the river every year because of the name of the Stone Girl? Has Uncle Master ever paid any attention to it?"
"It has only been a few months since I came down the mountain. Master, have you ever heard of such heart-breaking things happening?"
"Bold fallacy, how can you be allowed to speak recklessly in front of the Buddha's golden body!" The abbot imitated the tone of his junior brother. He scolded sternly, "We Buddhists are supposed to be knowledgeable and enlightened. Your heart sees your nature, but you are greedy for worldly things and indulge in sexual desires and evil! "
"Amitabha, you have no self, no person, no living beings, and no longevity. With his own body, he crossed over a hundred stone girls, saved their lives, and fulfilled his destiny. His family is benefiting his village, the stone girl is happy, the villagers are happy, and dozens of villages are also happy. Why is this disciple guilty?”
“I don’t understand why all living beings are happy, but my uncle is not. "Happy?"
"Master uncle thinks that the disciple is greedy In the world of mortals, love is sad. Don’t you know that the sadness in love in the eyes of my uncle is because my uncle’s roots in the world of mortals are impure. Seeing the world of mortals is also the world of mortals. This is not the case for my disciples. My disciples see that the world of mortals is graceful and graceful, but it is nothing more than a handful of loess. I use my heartless body to cross lovers, but my disciples don’t realize it. Guilty, just happy! ”
"Quiet! How do you explain drinking and having fun?"
"The drinking precept is a covering precept, not a sexual precept. There is nothing wrong with drinking in itself. What the Buddha is really worried about is that excessive drinking and loss of original intention will cause other problems. Negligence, violating other precepts, such as starting a fight, He conceals his wisdom, talks about hidden things, or indulges in sexual behavior and alienates the good. But has Uncle Master ever seen his disciple lose his temper when he was drunk? "
"Okay, what a sharp tongue! Ask you, why did you slaughter the villagers, even...even the infant babies? "Never let go?"
At this point, the abbot paused, and then the voice of the Hui Cong monk he was imitating also changed, becoming extremely cold and hard, "Amitabha, because they are guilty, a big sin! "
"Nonsense! Forget about the rest of the villagers, let me ask you, we have already investigated the old woman in Anding Village who was murdered by you. Her real name is Xue Yinhua. She is now in her seventies. She has accumulated virtues and done good deeds throughout her life. She is praised by people from all over the country as a great benefactor. , What is her crime? ”
The abbot's next words sent a chill down Jiang Cheng's whole body, "Xue Yinhua is not guilty now, but she was guilty three years later!" He was poisoned and died of poisoning in his mansion. The southern barbarian army entered and the border was lost."
"My army was defeated like a mountain. The Nanman army seemed to be in an uninhabited territory, and thousands of miles of land fell into the enemy's hands. A Nanman vanguard army attacked near Anding Village. The villagers of Anding Village had already fled into the mountains with their families for refuge a few days ago, but Xue Yinhua could not bear to part with her bundles of cloth, so. She secretly went down the mountain and returned to the village when no one was prepared. Unfortunately, she was discovered by a Nanman secret whistle. The secret whistle did not alert Xue Yinhua. Follow her all the way back to the mountains, marking the way along the way. That night, a large number of Southern Barbarian troops arrived. All the male villagers were slaughtered, and their heads were hung under the saddles. As a military honor, the young women were tied on horseback and carried back to the camp. There were more than 300 men, women, and children in the village who were not spared."
"You...are you telling the truth? Seeing it three years later? So the baby is also..."
"Song Zixian, the son of Song Shenggen of Luofeng Village. Song Shenggen had a son when he was old, and the whole family loved him. Song Zixian was born with a bad nature. He wandered around the countryside, humiliating his mother at the age of fourteen, killing his father at the age of sixteen, and then fled to Shepanshan Luocao to become a bandit. "
"In the 21st year of Emperor Dezong's reign, Song Zixian, as an internal agent, led a group of bandits to attack Luofeng Village at night. Except for a few people in the village who went to a neighboring village for a banquet and did not return that night, all the men in the village were killed, and their bodies were hung under the door beams. Women They were all kidnapped, some were taken back to the village, and some were sold to Goulan Fireworks Land, including his biological sister." (End of Chapter)
