The three of them acted separately. Yin Xiu received a handful of incense from an old monk at the door and pretended to walk into the depths of the Thousand Buddha , there seems to be no so-called restricted area in the Thousand Buddha Temple, because it is full of men walking in a hurry, women chatting and making clothes, and children jumping and skipping, carefree. everywhere. Therefore, Yin Xiu's whereabouts became very ordinary, so much so that he didn't even need to disguise himself. He just walked like this, and it looked like he was just strolling around. However, Yin Xiu did not have just a pair of eyes after all. As he walked, a blood butterfly was released from his sleeve, which was spying on Yin Xiu from a high altitude in another direction. Everything is normal now, or maybe it's because it's daytime, and evil and conspiracy always reveal their true colors at night. Yin Xiu could only think like this for now to calm his agitated mood. But he was not completely unaware of it. When the blood butterfly flew over a corner, behind the Zen room, he saw a monk and a young girl walking into the depths of the Zen room. Haha, I said that there must be a statue of Guanyin in the Thousand Buddha Temple. However, Yin Xiu was not in a hurry. He just used telepathy to control the blood butterfly to follow behind. Of course it is a big deal if a monk has an affair with a woman, it is a huge scandal. If it gets out, the woman will be thrown into a pig cage, and the monk and his master will be beaten to death with sticks.
However, this wasn't messy enough for Yoon-soo. If a monk came to Yin Xiu and sincerely confessed that he had an affair with a woman today, Yin Xiu would only ask him: "What about yesterday?" This was still considered Yin Xiu having a bottom line. If it was Liu Banxian, he would ask the monk: "How many?" The blood butterfly followed behind the two people, spying on their actions. It was not until the monk stopped in the backyard, looked around and found that there was no one that he spoke in a low voice. "Fourth sister, please go back. It's impossible for us to do this after all." "But you promised me before, Brother Zhong." The girl named Fourth Sister burst into tears, "You said you would marry me, treat me well, and we would never separate." [Damn it, these bald asses are only good at cheating on women.] As Yin Xiu walked, he couldn't help feeling indignant. Those passers-by who were unaware of the situation stayed away from him, for fear of being beaten for no reason. The blood butterfly landed on a leaf and folded its wings. Then Yin Xiu saw the monk and the girl clearly. The girl looked like a village girl, not a pretty girl. Even with makeup on, her face was not pretty. But as I said before, as long as a person doesn't look disgusting, it's enough. In comparison, perhaps because of preconceived notions, Yin Xiu only felt that the monk was very ugly, dark, and disgusting no matter how he looked at him. Needless to say, the monk must have deceived the village girl, made her pregnant, and then did not want to take responsibility. Yin Xiu listened coldly, just wanting to see how the monk would argue. As expected, the monk was also very troubled and sighed. "Fourth sister, that happened before I became a monk. We were engaged since childhood, and we can't deny it. Everyone has to acknowledge it.
But I have already become a monk, and monks should cut off worldly ties and cannot get involved in the things of the past. " "Cut off the worldly ties?" The fourth sister's eyes were red, "Then you can kill me." "Kill you?" The monk was so frightened that he took a few steps back, "Killing is against the precepts!" "What does it matter? You are still willing to see me and talk to me here, isn't it because you have broken the precepts? If you were a monk who abided by the precepts and cut off worldly desires, why would you meet me here? And you call me Fourth Sister, not Female Donor. Doesn't this prove that you just shaved your head and didn't cultivate your mind? " "..." The monk was choked by these words. After a long time, he finally lowered his head, his lips moving. "You are right. It is because I did not practice correctly that I harmed you. I feel so ashamed of you and the Buddha." "I don't want to hear this!" The fourth sister cried out, "I didn't come here to find out whether you are right or wrong! I have waited for you for seven years, and now I have become an old maid. I won't marry anyone who asks for my hand in marriage, because I'm waiting for you, waiting for you to return to secular life and come down from the mountain." "I'm the one who delayed you." The monk's eyes were red. "I'm not blaming you." The fourth sister cried hard, "I have never regretted it, only because I trusted you so much and didn't think you did anything wrong. I also never regretted or doubted my decision." "Why are you bothering?" The monk sighed deeply, and his waist seemed to bend down suddenly. "I have written to you before. I have made a great vow that I will not leave hell until it is empty." "Whether hell is empty or not is none of your business as a monk sweeping the floor!" The fourth sister's chest was heaving, and her eyes and face were red. "Do you think that the Thousand Buddha Temple and Buddhism will not be able to survive without a sweeper like you? Or do you think that you are unique among millions of people, that you are Tang Monk or Sakyamuni? In fact, you are just a farmer's child! Your father and mother, like mine, are farmers who make a living in the fields with their feet covered in mud! A farmer's son will always be a farmer. There's nothing special about you, Li Zhong!" "Then why are you chasing me?" The monk's eyes also turned red, but he was not angry, but more heartbroken and regretful. "You also know that I am not special. If you throw me into the crowd, I will be no different from a stone on the roadside. Even in this great Thousand Buddha Temple, I feel like I am just a stone on the roadside. No one will notice me. I don’t think I am a special person!
If you feel the same way, why do you have to wait for me?" "Because you are the most special in my eyes. Only in my eyes are you special." The fourth sister clenched her heart and gritted her teeth and said, "Since you don't want to go down the mountain, then I will light a green lamp in front of the Buddha and stay here with you." When the monk heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "If you offer the lamp, you will have to keep the vow for the rest of your life and you cannot marry." "It doesn't matter." The fourth sister said firmly. "It matters! It matters a lot!" The monk said excitedly: "You don't have to do this for me." "Where is this?" The fourth sister suddenly laughed, tears dripped from the corners of her eyes and slid across the corners of her mouth with a faint smile, which was both moving and confusing. "In fact, I have done more things for you. I was even involved in what happened that night. It was because of me that what happened later happened. However, I don't regret it! Because I did it for you!" "you……" The monk's face suddenly changed. For some reason, Yin Xiu's heart tightened, as if he had heard something terrible, but he didn't understand what terrible and ominous thing the village girl was talking about. However, he was in a trance for a moment, and when he wanted to listen carefully, he saw that the monk was hugging the village girl. "Damn it, no matter how much a man and a woman talk about, it will eventually come down to that matter. Just tell me what you did." Seeing that it was unknown how long the two would stay there, he did not want to continue the conversation. Yin Xiu was afraid that he would get angry later, so he simply took back the blood butterfly. However, on the one hand, she was afraid of getting stye, and on the other hand, Yin Xiu couldn't help but feel a little envious. "Damn, if Xiaoyu could be as proactive and sensible as this girl, it would be great. If Xiaoyu begged me pitifully, would I reject her? It's impossible!" Ahem! Ma Xiaoyu covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, and finally sneezed loudly, like thunder. This was really inconsistent with the temperament and image of a beauty like her, and she couldn't help feeling embarrassed. However, there were women and children sitting next to her, and no one noticed that the sneeze destroyed a certain kind of harmonious and uniform beauty. They were just concerned about her. "Girl, you are not catching a cold, are you? It's cold in the mountains, you should wear more clothes, especially a short skirt. I know girls like to look pretty, but you still have to keep warm." "Nothing." Ma Xiaoyu wiped her nose and said, "Maybe someone is talking about me behind my back." At this time, a little girl pulled her clothes and said, "Sister, you are such a good person, which bad guy is thinking of you?" "You know I'm a good person now?" Ma Xiaoyu blinked. "Because you look good." The little girl was a little embarrassed and said, "My father once said that beautiful women are not bad people.
My sister is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, so she must be the best person in the world." She opened her hands wide, trying to make an exaggerated gesture to prove how high her evaluation was. Ma Xiaoyu had originally been talking to these women and children with the intention of spying on them, but now she couldn't help but be amused by her and took out candy from her pocket. "Come on, for making me happy, I'll treat you to some candy." The other children's eyes immediately lit up and they stared at this place as if they were possessed. "bring it on." Ma Xiaoyu took out some candy from another pocket and said, "Come over here if you want some candy. I have more here." So the children swarmed over and surrounded Ma Xiaoyu. "Sister, this candy is so delicious. I have never eaten such good candy." said one of the children. It's not to please anyone. If a child says he likes something, then he likes it. If he doesn't like something, you can tell from his face even if he doesn't say it. “This candy.” Ma Xiaoyu picked up one and looked at the colorful wrapping paper, her smile becoming brighter. "This was bought by a brother who was afraid that his sister would get seasick. Every time he arrived at a port and the ship stopped, he would buy a bag and bring it back. Sometimes when he met a cargo ship, he would jump over and buy a bag from them. The candies in each place have different flavors and packaging. I can’t eat that much, so there’s always some left, and over time they get mixed together. I told him I hadn't finished eating and that I wasn't seasick anymore, but he didn't care and still bought me a pack when he had the chance." "That brother must be the best, the best person in the world." The child didn't know whether he was envious or sighing, he just said this. "It's not that exaggerated. He's not so good that people outside the Three Realms and Six Paths would notice his goodness." Ma Xiaoyu said this with a smile in her eyes. "All right." She stood up and brushed off a bit of dust from the edge of her skirt. "I have to go somewhere else." Ma Xiaoyu is leaving, but the children are reluctant to let her go. "Don't leave, stay here and play with us." "But I'm out of candy." Ma Xiaoyu turned around. "No candy." The little red face shook like a rattle.
Ma Xiaoyu said helplessly: "But I do have other places to go, how about tomorrow, we can play together again tomorrow?" Immediately, there were a lot of protests, one after another. However, the women's scolding was more effective than anything else, and soon the restless children calmed down. At this time, Ma Xiaoyu noticed that there was a child who had been sitting in the corner from beginning to end, without making a sound and with no expression on his face. "Sorry, didn't you get the candy just now? Can I bring it to you tomorrow?" "I do not want it." The child rolled his eyes at her and puffed up his cheeks and said, "I don't want anything from a witch." "Witch?" Ma Xiaoyu just felt angry and amused, "Why do you think I'm a witch?" "That's what my mother said." The child said seriously: "My mother said that beautiful women who wear makeup, perfume, and short skirts are all witches. They are the worst, most deceitful people in the world." "is it?" Ma Xiaoyu blinked her eyes, "Then when you talk to me, aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?" The child met her eyes and blushed immediately. "I'm not afraid, because I'm not as greedy as them. Please don't look down on me." "girl." Immediately a woman came out to help, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense. He has no one to discipline him. He always loves to talk nonsense, especially telling lies. The whole village knows this." "Who said I lied? Everything I said was true." The child stood up, very excited. Ma Xiaoyu smiled and thought it was just the child's mischief. She turned her head to the outside. It was getting late, so she had to speed up. "I did not lie." The child was very serious, "I really saw it, you don't believe it! What happened that night was real, I really saw it..." Ma Xiaoyu turned around, and everyone in the room fell silent. After a brief pause, the stubborn child laughed first, and then all the women and children in the room laughed, the sound was as loud as a thousand crows cawing. The women began to chat about family matters again, and the children were running around the house. The disharmonious argument just now disappeared, as if it had never happened. Ma Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes and walked outside. Maybe it was just an illusion, the moment she turned around, she seemed to see that the faces of everyone in the room suddenly changed, becoming pale and numb. But when she turned her head, everything returned to normal.
Ma Xiaoyu touched her face, thinking that it was probably just her illusion. (End of this chapter)
