319. Put down the butcher's knife and pick up the butcher's knife
Hearing the word "Huijue", little monk Huiming's heart moved slightly.
Master Kongru lives here in seclusion, not completely cutting off contact with the outside world.
The news from all aspects of the human world in China is empty, and Master Huiming and his disciples often hear about it.
Naturally, you can also hear news about Nakatake Temple, the place where they were born.
Monk Huijue has become famous over the years and has become the most outstanding figure among the younger generation of Zhongyue Temple.
Master Kongru and his disciples also discussed it.
For Huiming, today was the first time to see the other party in person.
Huijue put his palms together and greeted Huijing and brother Huiming.
Young monk Huiming quickly returned the gift.
"Is this Junior Brother Huiming?" Huijue smiled: "Junior Brother, did you just come back from traveling?"
"I'm just walking around in the world and understanding the people's sentiments." Young monk Huiming replied.
"Junior brother, with deep roots of wisdom, he will surely achieve success in the future." Huijue nodded and said goodbye with Huiming.
Huijing sent him down the mountain.
Young monk Huiming wondered why the other party suddenly came to visit.
He was thinking as he walked into the temple.
In the temple, an old monk was meditating and chanting sutras at the end of the day.
"Master, the disciple is back."
Huiming arrived in front of the other party and bowed deeply.
When the chanting stopped, the old monk opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "It'll be nice to come back."
He asked Huiming to sit down, but he didn't ask much about Huiming's previous experience. He just said: "You can go and copy the second half of the Vajra Realm Dharma. Just silence it 30,000 times."
"Yes, Master."
Huiming did not show joy on his face, but first reported his previous experiences to his mentor truthfully, regardless of the details.
Finally, he handed the letter from "Mr. He" to Master Kongru.
After Master Kongru received the letter, he did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked a few details about Huiming's previous report.
After Huiming answered one by one, Master Kongru did not speak again and fell into silence.
"Master..." Huiming called softly.
Master Kongru raised his eyes and looked at his young apprentice.
Huiming tried to ask: "Does Master know who the person in charge of Chang'an really is?"
"No."
Master Kongru shook his head: "I can't guess the identity of the lord of Chang'an City right now, but since the 'Ape Dragon King' Ao Kong has settled in Chang'an, then the lord of Chang'an City may also be a member of the Twelve Yamas."
"Master, I heard that the Twelve Yamas suffered a great catastrophe together in the past. It is rare for the Ape Dragon King to survive. Could it be that everyone else is fine?" Huiming couldn't help but ask.
Master Kongru shook his head: "I have not personally experienced it, I only heard it, but it is said that people did not die cleanly at that time, and there were people who escaped from the Twelve Yamas.
What's more, except for those who practice martial arts, if they reach their realm, even if they die on the spot, they may not really die.
Everyone may secretly have the secret method of rebirth and reincarnation."
The old monk stopped: "What's more, there is news that there were only eleven people in the Twelve Yamas at that time, and the seventh 'Sword Demon' Su Po was missing and was missing."
"In this way, the sudden appearance of Chang'an City may indeed be the comeback of the Twelve Yamas, and later the Ape Dragon King will be found, and the sworn brothers will be reunited."
Huiming nodded: "I heard that the Twelve Yamas were rampant in those days, treating human life as nothing, and being cruel and inhumane.
But what the disciples saw and heard in Chang'an City was that although the Lord of Chang'an City was majestic and majestic, he always administered benevolent policies and could truly be said to love the people like his own son.
It can be seen that the Ape Dragon King has a violent temper, but he was disciplined by the Lord of Chang'an City and restrained his former murderous nature.
It is also for this reason that I am willing to help Chang'an unify Eastern Xinjiang so that all the people in Eastern Xinjiang can live a better life than before."
Even if Chang'an now takes the initiative to start a war and set foot in China, Huiming will not resist.
The people under the rule of the six dynasties of Central and Eastern Xinjiang lived a better life than the people in Eastern Xinjiang.
But that's because Middle Earth is far richer than Eastern Xinjiang.
To be honest, the administration of the people in power is even more stringent than the previous seven dynasties in Eastern Xinjiang.
To a certain extent, the higher the cultivation level of many practitioners or rulers, and the further away they are from ordinary people, the less they take the lives of ordinary people seriously.
The psychological distance between the two parties is probably further than the physical distance.
"Although I don't know if it has something to do with what happened back then, after all, more than thirty years have passed, and people may change."
Master Kongru looked at his disciples with a smile: "Some people may turn from righteousness to evil, but they may also put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."
Huiming nodded when he heard the words: "Master said yes."
Master Kongru muttered: "Speaking of which, the Mr. He you mentioned reminds me of the great evil of the past."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the letter in his hand.
In the past, the name of the Twelve Yamas was overwhelming throughout China. Now, many years later, the young monk Huiming also felt nervous.
He watched his master unfold the envelope.
There is no text on the letter paper inside, but a picture.
The painting is of a woman who looks to be about twenty years old, with a beautiful and lifelike face.
Especially in his eyes, there seems to be light that breaks out of the paper.
It's just that the sight seems gentle, but it hides sharpness and loneliness.
"Master, this is..." Young monk Huiming looked at his mentor.
He had never seen this woman in Chang'an.
"In the past, Shen Herong was the twelfth 'great evil' among the Twelve Yamas." Master Kongru sighed: "In the blink of an eye, decades have passed..."
The woman in the painting seemed to come to life at this moment, and suddenly said: "To be precise, it has been thirty-nine years. Master, it's been a long time."
Master Kongru knew that it was the other party's words that were as clear as his face: "Congratulations to Donor Shen for escaping from suffering and being reincarnated. Please also send my regards to Donor Ao and the Lord of Chang'an City on behalf of the poor monk."
"This is certain, thank you Master for your concern."
The woman in the painting continued: "The reason why Huiming brought the letter to the master this time is because we have something to discuss."
Master Kongru nodded: "Donor, please speak..."
Monk Huijing sent Huijue from Zhongyue Temple down the mountain, and then returned to the temple, where he saw his younger brother Huiming waiting outside.
"Master is talking to people in Chang'an." Hui Ming said.
Huijing was slightly surprised: "Chang'an?"
Huiming nodded, and then told his second senior brother about his experiences in the past few years.
Finally, he said: "Master said that the person who came to Zhongyue Temple just now is also related to Chang'an."
Monk Huijing exhaled a long breath: "That's it."
"Second senior brother, what happened to your senior senior brother just now?" Huiming asked at this time.
After a moment of silence, Monk Huijing said, "Senior Brother, if you associate with evil people, you will never come back again after you leave the sect."
Huiming was as cold as if he had been struck by lightning.
The face of senior brother Hui Xing flashed through his mind quickly.
At the same time, the previous words of his mentor Kong Ru, "Some people may turn from righteousness to evil, but they may also put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately" resounded in Huiming's mind again.
Only now did he understand why his master looked a little complicated at that time.
The person who made Master Kongru sigh might not be the Lord of Chang'an City and the Twelve Yamas, but the disciple who betrayed him.
"Why on earth did Senior Brother do this?" Huiming asked in a harsh voice, "Where is he now?"
"He left with the Six Fiends of Beihai, and his current whereabouts are unknown." Monk Huijing looked equally sad.
Huiming opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
Compared to the Twelve Yamas who disappeared before he was born, the Six Evils of Beihai are a bit more familiar.
Those are the evil figures who have emerged in the past twenty years after the Twelve Yamas disappeared.
Compared with the Twelve Yamas who dominated the world in the past, these descendants are not as glorious, but they are still all-powerful evil stars.
Over the years, they have attracted famous holy places such as Taiqing Palace, Zhongyue Temple, Yansheng Mansion, and six other dynasties to encircle and suppress them.
Under such circumstances, the gathering of six evil spirits in Beihai not only imitates the twelve Yamas of the past, but also serves the objective need of staying together to keep warm.
Middle-earth could not accommodate them, and they were forced to retreat to the desert sea in the north of Middle-earth.
Because the sea environment is complex and vast, they can always escape encirclement and suppression somewhere.
As a result, they were gradually called the Six Fiends of the North Sea by the Central-European forces.
Over the years, they have gone ashore from time to time, but most of the time they have avoided the sea.
But Huiming really didn't expect that this time it would be like this.
"Master, what do you say?" the young monk asked unwillingly.
The young monk was silent again, and then he said: "Master is willing to receive a slap from the senior brother. The senior brother... is really capable of hitting me."
Huiming closed her eyes in pain.
After a long while, he opened his eyes again: "One day, I want to find him!"
Huijing nodded silently.
At this time, the calm voice of Master Kongru came from the temple: "Huijing, Huiming, come in."
The two brothers entered as instructed. Master Kongru had already received the letter from Shen Herong. He turned around and took out a Zen staff and handed it to the two disciples in front of him.
Huijing took it carefully: "Master, your eight-leaf Zen staff has not been used for many years..."
Master Kongru nodded: "When it's time to use it, it will naturally come in handy. Huijing, you can go to Chang'an City with Huiming."
Huiming and Huijing were both surprised: "Master, there is no one around you to serve you."
"I confiscated that when you entered the school, the poor monk was walking alone."
Master Kongru smiled: "After spending some time as a master, I have to leave here."
"Master, in Chang'an, the Twelve Yamas were entrenched in the past..." Huijing had already heard Huiming's general explanation.
"Huijing, you might as well go there and see for yourself." Master Kongru said.
"Yes, Master." Huijing received the eight-leaf Zen staff, and together with Huiming bid farewell to Master Kongru and left this barren mountain.
While walking on the road, Huiming couldn't help but ask: "Master, are you going to find your senior brother?"
"It's possible, but that's still not our senior brother, but it's not necessarily true."
Huijing sighed: "Master has recovered from his previous injuries. I'm afraid I really have to go find him to clean up the family."
Huiming looked sad.
The two brothers went all the way south to the Zhao family towards Jiangdong Road.
However, when they were walking halfway, someone suddenly stood in front of them.
They are familiar with those who come.
We had just parted ways before.
"Please stay here, both of you." It was Monk Huijue from Zhongyue Temple.
