Chapter 13 Demon
"Brother Lu, you said something a little beyond the reach. Some things are the same in your heart, but you must not say them."
Suddenly, Lu Sheng and Shen Ling both felt something. The two looked at each other in surprise, stood up, pushed open the window and jumped onto the roof.
On the top of a tower in the distance, a figure that seemed to be shrouded in the moonlight was faintly vaguely. The hazy bright light was as delicate and gentle as white jade.
"Monkey Miaoyuan?" Lu Sheng was very curious. Why did Monk Miaoyuan appear in front of him again?
"Go and ask him."
Chen Ling finished speaking and disappeared into the room with Lu Sheng.
The murmuring Buddha sound floated out of Miaoyuan's mouth. Miaoyuan's treasure was heavy and he kept pinching the Buddhist beads. The Buddha light on his body seemed to bring warmth to people.
After a long time, Monk Miaoyuan stopped chanting scriptures and slowly closed his hands and opened his eyes. There was a quietness in his eyes, just as comfortable as the night color.
"It's not a gentleman to listen to people's corners. Why did Master Miaoyuan do this?" Chen Ling leaned against the eaves and asked with a smile.
"The monk did not listen to the donor's corner, but listened to the voice of all living beings. I thanked the two donors for saving each other, otherwise the three holy temples would not be able to escape this disaster."
"It's not worth mentioning, but since the master is just listening to the soulmates of sentient beings, why is he reciting the mantra of rebirth in his mouth? Are you saving sentient beings?"
"I am the one who saved me!" Monk Miaoyuan's mouth curled a little, "A person who practices Buddhism has many responses to his own life disasters. I expected that there would be a kalpa of life and death, so I originally wanted to travel abroad to avoid this disaster.
But when I arrived at Shanghai Mansion, I suddenly realized that I could not leave anymore. This is fate, and it is also cause and effect. Amitabha!”
"Master is afraid that he is not sincere? What is your purpose in coming to Shanghai Mansion? In just two days, we have met three times. Once, it was a chance, but three times were not."
"Amitabha, I did not come to look for the donor two times before."
"That's to say you came to me this time? Is there anything wrong with me?" Lu Sheng asked with a smile and lightly.
"I didn't look closely when I saw the donor for the first time. Tonight, I finally saw the donor clearly. Donor, you are a person who is a Buddha. This kalpa should be on your body, so I came."
"Buddha's fate? Don't you think I should become a monk, right?" Lu Sheng smiled.
"The Buddhist doctrine leads people to be kind. Anyone who has merits has a Buddha's connection. The donor has the light of merits and will definitely be a person with deep blessings."
"You'd better tell me directly what you want to do, right? I don't have any understanding or wisdom. I don't understand your magical words."
"Resentment rises, demons appear, blood rain falls, heaven and earth collapse!" Monk Miaoyuan slowly opened his eyes, "The Buddha Sect passed down the sayings, and the demons are born. Buddhist disciples travel around the world, looking for people with Buddha's connection to restrain the demons."
"What is a demon?" Chen Ling, who was on the side, suddenly shouted.
"Inner demon, desire demon, heavenly demon, evil demon," Monk Miaoyuan slowly opened his eyes, "Seven emotions and six desires will all transform into demons. If the demon appears, then the heavenly way will collapse!"
"Monk, do you know that you are promoting feudal superstitions and doomsday remarks. You will be beaten to death in this era." Lu Sheng suddenly felt that Monk Miaoyuan was very cute.
Maybe it was brainwashed too thoroughly and his nonsense attitude was very serious.
"Lu Sheng, let's go!" Chen Ling suddenly pulled Lu Sheng and jumped down the tower with a flash.
Just being dragged back to Tianshui Inn by Chen Ling, Lu Sheng looked at Chen Ling's tiny face and his three views were slightly shaken.
"Chen Ling, you won't really... believe his nonsense, right?"
"I don't know if he is talking nonsense, but I know that in the past year, the incidence rate in Dayu's 19 Prefectures has been much higher than before.
Many cases are inexplicable, just like in a remote mountain village in Songzhou, a bachelor with a pockmarked face suddenly slaughtered ten households and seventy-three people in the village.
The case was quickly solved. Mazi grew up in the discrimination of villagers since childhood, and people around him were cold and cold to him. After twenty years of depression, they finally broke out and slaughtered the entire village.
Although the whole story of the incident is reasonable, why are such incidents concentrated in nearly a year? The father searched for major cases that had been nearly a year three months ago and came to a conclusion, and people's hearts are changing."
"Human hearts are changing? What does it mean?"
"Human hearts are changing, human nature is evil. People are not born to control their emotions. Because of this, people will learn a lot of principles of being a human being when they grow up.
Loyalty, filial piety, kindness, modesty, courtesy, awe, integrity, shame, these moral standards bind our every word and action. The Father found that the binding power of these moral standards was weakening.
Take the case we just mentioned. The murderer Wang Mazi has been coldly jealous for twenty years. He can tolerate it for twenty years, but suddenly, he can't stand it.
In his words, the idea of killing will never linger when it comes to his heart. Even when he sleeps at night, he finally picked up the knife after seven days."
Listening to Chen Ling's narration, Lu Sheng's expression gradually became solemn.
Lu Sheng used to be a complete atheist, but since he received the order to punish evil and since he came to this world, he began to believe that there was God's will in the dark.
So when Chen Ling said this, Lu Sheng did not feel ridiculous. If this is ridiculous, then his existence is the biggest joke.
"What do you mean is... the demon that Monk Miaoyuan said really exists?"
"I don't know whether it exists or not, but it is a fact that this chaos in the world has risen. If there is really a so-called demon, it is a good thing. What I fear most is whether it is a demon, but that human nature itself is already at the end of its path."
They left quietly overnight, and Lu Sheng and Shen Ling never slept again.
A white light appeared in the sky between the east and the east. At dawn, a team of fast horses broke through the gate of Shanghai Mansion and ran towards the city.
"Jia—Jia—" A crisp and delicate shout urged the war horse under his crotch.
Every woman is covered in blue, every woman has two short guns on her back, and her waist is strong crossbows and arrows swept like a gust of wind, and disappeared at the end of the road in an instant.
The people rushed into the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, and the moment they entered the door, they were as fast as lightning. After entering the door frame, they stopped immediately.
The horse's hooves were flying, and a group of people were dismounting and kneeling on one knee.
"See the princess—"
"Have you caught it?" In the night, Princess Changling slowly stood up, and her long skirt flew across the white jade-like floor like a peacock with a wide open screen.
"All three assassins are arrested. However... the assassins seem to be all dead soldiers. After learning that there is no way out, they all chose to commit suicide. Only one of them died by my sword."
At this moment, Princess Lingzhu's face was not as familiar as Lu Sheng's. There was a strong murderous intent between her cold eyebrows and eyes.
"Where is the assassin?"
Two Changling Guards came to the war horses, and immediately removed the war horses and threw them into the front of Princess Changling, "Princess, please check it out."
Princess Changling waved her sleeves, and the mask on the assassin's face instantly turned into ashes and disappeared. Her cold eyes swept over the three corpses coldly. When her eyes were frozen at the last corpse, Princess Changling's face changed suddenly.
"Guo Songling!"
A scream contained a deep emotion. It was not longing, not attachment, but unforgettable hatred and resentment.
"Guo Songling...I didn't expect it was you... It's been eight years, eight years... Hahaha... You finally died... Hahaha..." Princess Changling staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Princess——" Princess Lingzhu hurriedly stood up and hugged Princess Changling.
"Guo Songling! Who killed him, Lingzhu, is it you?"
Princess Lingzhu trembled slightly, "Yes... it's me..."
"Okay! Very good! Just because you killed Guo Songling, I will not blame the ridiculous things you did before. The person who came hung Guo Songling's body outside the east gate, and then slammed the corpse for ten days before it was crushed and ashes!"
"Princess...you...you know Guo Songling?" Princess Lingzhu asked hesitantly.
"I know him! He turned into a Asheimi Palace and knew him. Lingzhu, how many years have you not called me mother?"
"When will Lingzhu not scream?" Lingzhu's face suddenly changed into innocent smile and said with a slightly coquettish look.
"That was in front of others, but why did I feel like I haven't heard you call me for a long time? This Guo Songling is my enemy who killed his son. My Xuan'er was killed by him.
It's been eight years, I've been looking for them for eight years, but I've never found them to avenge Xuan'er!"
"Brother's hatred? Mother has never mentioned it before..."
"I go to Sansheng Temple to pray for blessings and incense every year. Do you know what day was yesterday?"
"Yesterday? Could it be..." Lingzhu's face changed and she asked in surprise.
"Yes, yesterday was Xuan'er's death day. And you were able to kill Guo Songling last night, which was the best sacrifice for Xuan'er. I can finally have a peaceful sleep... Qinghe, you take people to guard the east gate. If someone dares to collect the corpse, kill them no matter what."
"yes!"
As the sky turned bright, the visitors and tourists entering and leaving Shanghai Mansion were suddenly surprised to find that there was a corpse hanging on the east gate wall.
The visitors walked into the city gate tremblingly and discussed the identity of the corpse.
The people were talking a lot, but the martial arts world in Shanghai suddenly started to stir up storm.
"The three heroes of Jiangnan, Guo Songling, were hung outside the east gate by Princess Changling!"
Perhaps elsewhere, Guo Songling's name is very far away and may be gradually forgotten. However, in the martial arts world of Shanghai Mansion, the three heroes of Jiangnan are transformed into legends and enduring characters.
The hero Guo Songling, the two heroes Lin Quan, the three heroes Bai Ye, and the three heroes Jin Lan made a shocking reputation in the martial arts world eight years ago. If that hadn't happened, the current status of the three heroes might have long become the Taishan Beidou in Jiangnan Road.
There are heroes in the world, and a generation of heroes have been replaced by heroes. Thirty years ago was the era of Hu tragic, but ten years ago, it was definitely the era of the three heroes of Jiangnan.
The three of them had all had a superb martial arts, and their reputations were already at their peak. However, both Hu Beilie and Jiangnan's three heroes suddenly disappeared at their peak.
Eight years ago, the three heroes of Jiangnan formed an unresolved hatred with Princess Changling. During that period, the entire Shanghai martial arts world was shrouded in bloody storm.
Finally, Bai Ye appeared and calmed the storm with his own life.
Although the storm subsided, Bai Ye was named God after his death. In the hearts of the martial arts people in Shanghai, the three heroes of Jiangnan are myths that cannot be blasphemed in their hearts.
