Chapter 701 All Beings Are Suffering
Chapter 701 All sentient beings suffer
"oh!"
Yuantong became interested and asked, "Does the general suspect me?"
"Not!"
General Mu Lian slowly explained, "Master, if you want to prove to the people in this village, you must meet the Ming King!"
"After all, believers in a village will be let go without identification. This general does not have this power and must meet the Ming King!"
Yuantong was still hesitating, and the patriarchs next to him looked at him and were almost begging.
Suddenly, General Mu Lian said, "Master, don't worry. Let's retreat now, return later, and kill this village?"
This sentence made Yuantong confident, "Okay, I am willing to go with the general!"
...
At the entrance of the village, the patriarch and the villagers were reluctant to leave.
"Master, are you really leaving?"
Yuantong said gently, "Fate comes and meets, and the fate ends and disperses. Donors, there is no need to remember!"
"Master, please get on!"
The two Buddhist soldiers brought a mount, and the divine horse was extraordinary, with four hooves lingering in the roar.
"Rema?"
Yuantong was shocked, "Is this the spiritual beast of Hanging Yinguan?"
After hearing this, the deputy general said with smugness, "We have broken through a villa in the Hangyin Temple, and have strengthened several pairs of stallions, and have grown a steady stream of mounts."
Yuantong couldn't help but be shocked. He even dared to provoke the Hanging Seal Temple. This white-clothed Buddhist soldier was really arrogant.
Then I thought about it that the white-clothed Buddhist soldiers had the support of Shi Sect behind them, no wonder they provoked the Taoist sect.
I rode on the thunder horse and was as fast as lightning along the way.
"Where is the general?"
On the way, Yuantong took the initiative to chat when he came.
General Mu Lian smiled and said, "Come on, I will be a local person in Jiangnan!"
"Master is interested, will you listen to me tell you about the past?"
Yuantong suddenly realized that the surroundings became quiet. It turned out that the other party had used the "sound barrier" magical power to separate the surroundings. Even the deputy general who was close at hand could not hear any conversation between them.
"Happy!"
General Mu Lian said slowly.
"My family was originally a farmer in Jiangnan. My ancestors left ten acres of paddy fields, farming and planting themselves, barely maintaining food and clothing."
"Since five years ago, the drought has worsened, the paddy fields have dried up, the rivers have been cut off, and all the crops have died!"
"On the Great Year of the Year, every household is in trouble, and relatives, friends, and neighbors cannot borrow food!"
"The big landlords in the country relied on collusion with officials to monopolize the food for disaster relief, and forced the people to sell houses and land, and children and daughters at high prices!"
"I have an old mother and wife in my family. Fortunately, I didn't have any child's burden and could still support it!"
"The food in my family has decreased. I wanted to buy the land and go out to escape, but my mother said it was the ancestral land and could not be sold even if I starved to death!"
"There's no way, I left my wife to take care of my mother and went out alone to find food!"
"I was so hungry that I was dizzy and ran all the way, but I saw the white-clothed Buddhist soldiers massacre the city. I thought I would never die, and my wife and mother would be waiting for me at home."
"I am eager to win, so I choose to convert to my letter and join the white-clad Buddhist soldier!"
"The first thing is to accept the letter of confession."
"I was stuffed with an iron blade that cut out the gap. The captain led people to monitor me behind my back and asked me to kill a commoner who refused to convert!"
"That family is a scholar. The head of the family scolded loudly, saying that the family will harm the country and the people will surely be destroyed!"
"But I saw his family's female family hugging the trembling child, and their eyes were filled with horror!"
"At that time, I thought, this family is so similar to my family, but I still took action to survive!"
"After that time, I successfully integrated into the white-clothed Buddhist soldiers, fought bravely all the way, and made military achievements!"
"Later, I begged my boss to take my food home."
Speaking of this, General Mu Lian stopped, his eyes full of compassion.
Yuantong waited quietly without urging him because he had a premonition that he was about to hear a tragic event.
"It was already evening when I got home, but I saw that the house was dark and there was no sound at all, so it was very quiet!"
"I call my wife's name, no one agrees!"
"I started calling my mother, but no one responded!"
"I started to panic, my hands trembled, and a firelight came out!"
"I saw it under the firelight... I saw it!"
General Mu Lian choked and said, "I saw my mother who turned into an evil ghost, lying on the wreckage of his wife, tearing up the flesh and blood with all her strength!"
"That silly woman, who had no food at home, secretly went to the kitchen, cut her flesh and blood, cooked it and fed it to her mother."
"She cut one piece today and one piece tomorrow. She couldn't wait until I came back with the food, but when my mother was used to eating human flesh, she turned into a hungry ghost on earth!"
Yuantong said, "General, don't say it anymore, I already know!"
It is too cruel to ask the parties to respond to this tragedy of human nature.
But General Mu Lian wanted to say again, "Master, I haven't finished talking yet!"
"Later I found out that my wife was not killed by her mother, but starved to death."
"The old mother turned into a hungry ghost, only knew she was hungry, and she lay on the wreckage of her wife to bite her, and finally supported me to perform!"
"At that time, I had already practiced the Sect's skills and achieved some success. Killing hungry ghosts is no problem!"
"But, I looked at my mother who turned into a hungry ghost and couldn't do it for a long time!"
"That's my mother, a young widowed mother who raised me with great difficulty!"
"And my wife, after leaving home, she never had a full meal, and even cut all her flesh and blood to feed her old mother, and in the end she had no body to be complete!"
"What sin did I, Mu Lian, commit, and why did I suffer such retribution?"
"At that moment, my mind was so fast that I remembered the family that I joined the white-clothed Buddhist soldiers, killed, and fought later, and participated in the city slaughter again and again!"
"Is it the origin of retribution that those who kill too many evils?"
When Yuantong heard this, he persuaded, "General, don't blame yourself."
After a silence, General Mu Lian smiled, "I have never blamed myself!"
"Master can guess what I learned from it?"
"All sentient beings suffer!"
"Yes, all sentient beings suffer!"
"You and I are all sentient beings. How can we be liberated by sucking in this sea of suffering?"
When Mu Lian said this, he suddenly said to Yuantong, "Master, do you know why I want to invite you over?"
"Please speak for yourself, General!"
"I have the power of Shumen, the power of heavenly eyes, and the ability to be unparalleled!"
"So, what is the purpose of the Master here? Others don't know, but I know!"
"Oh, it's fun!"
Yuantong was not surprised and asked, "Then, General Mu Lian tells me, what am I going to do!"
"I can't say it all. I just need to know that the master's purpose is the same as mine, that's enough!"
Yuantong finally understood that General Mu Lian was going to use him to achieve his goal.
"Before meeting King Ming, I will ask the master to go with me!"
General Mu Lian finished his life experience and returned to his usual peace.
"oh?"
"I would like to ask the master to do it for me to save my mother."
Yuantong was shocked when he heard this, "What?"
"Yes, my mother is still here!"
