End of ten days

"Our family has been temple guardians for generations." Xuanwu added, "So we cannot commit suicide. Suicide is disrespectful to Bodhisattva and will lead to the eighteenth level of hell..."

Qiu Shiliu scratched his head after hearing this, and then stretched out his hand to pinch his waist.

Now she had more questions than before.

"Sister Ninth...did you hear that?" Qiu Shiliu murmured, "Why am I a little confused?"

"I heard it..." Bai Jiu said in confusion, "I don't know much about this identity... but if it is true... just help her."

"Help her means..."

"This is the only way." Bai Jiu replied, "The lives of our brothers and sisters are in her hands... If Xuanwu cannot be stopped, and if Tortoise and Eleven fall, Xiao Jiang Shi will be buried with them, followed closely by me. With Seventh Brother, we will be defeated like a mountain, and whatever we say then will be in vain."

"Okay... okay..." Qiu Shiliu nodded with a heavy face, "I understand, Ninth Sister, leave it to me."

Qiu Shiliu put the "door" in his pocket and turned back to look at Xiao Xuanwu again.

"Can you kill me?" Xiao Xuanwu asked again.

"Xuanzi." Qiu Shiliu shouted, "You said you are a "temple keeper," but what about the "temple"? "

Xiao Xuanwu paused, then spread his hands: "This is it."

"Okay, this is the "temple", what about the "Bodhisattva"? Qiu Shiliu added, "You said you are the guardian of the temple, but there is neither a spiritual place nor a god here. What are you guarding?" "

"Sister..." Xiao Xuanwu slowly lowered his head after hearing this and said, "When my mother was still alive, there was a lot of fragrance here. Later, for three or four years in a row, there were severe floods, then severe droughts, and finally there were earthquakes. There was a famine in the village, and almost half of the people died. Even my mother died of starvation in the severe drought. Some people said that the Bodhisattva failed to protect them, while others said that I killed them. Later, they rushed up the mountain in anger and smashed the Bodhisattva, demolished the shrine, melted the incense burner, and arrested me.”

"Caught you...?"

"They think everything has something to do with me." Xiao Xuanwu added, "If it's not that the Bodhisattva didn't protect me well, it's because I, the temple guardian, didn't protect me well. They beat me for a long time, but no one dared to kill me. They were afraid that they would be Shoot..."

"You..." Qiu Shiliu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"I can only beg in the village..." Xiao Xuanwu frowned, showing an extremely sad expression, "But they are unwilling to give me food. Maybe if I starve to death, they will not be shot..."

"You... actually tried to beg for food in a mountain village...?" Qiu Shiliu shook his head, "Do you really think the Bodhisattva is protecting this village?"

"The Bodhisattva can see it. He is worried about everyone, so how could he not protect everyone?" Xiao Xuanwu said again.

"Then how does He protect everyone?" Qiu Shiliu asked, "Floods, droughts, and earthquakes are all piled up together. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like God is protecting you."

Perhaps after experiencing everything in "The End", Qiu Shiliu would feel a sense of rejection in his heart when he heard the word "god".

"Do you remember? No matter how lofty the Bodhisattva looks, his eyebrows are always downcast, and he is looking at all living beings." Xiao Xuanwu replied, "Without the blessing of the Bodhisattva, maybe more people would die."

"But you are still alive. Even if fate has treated you like this, do you still feel that the Bodhisattva is blessing you?"

"Yes." Xiao Xuanwu added, "Even if His face is stained with mud, it will not prevent Him from looking at all living beings with humble eyes. He is at a high place, but always looks at a low place."

Qiu Shiliu sighed after hearing this: "But He is no longer here."

"I pray to Him day and night, and He is in my dreams." Xiao Xuanwu added, "He promised to ensure that I would not have to worry about food, clothing, illness or pain in the future, and also promised that I would be able to walk in the world with integrity. "

"So the Bodhisattva asked you to die?" Qiu Shiliu directly asked the key point, "Now that you are asking to die, is this also the Bodhisattva's instruction?"

She found that the little Xuanwu in front of her actually looked more mature than the real Xuanwu, and she couldn't help but wonder what happened to Xuanwu.

"I don't know, I have no way to figure out what the Bodhisattva means." Xiao Xuanwu said, "But I know that I won't go to hell if I am killed, because I have always been protecting the Bodhisattva. Maybe after I am killed, We will reach the place where, as the Bodhisattva said, "there is no need to worry about eating and drinking," "no illness or pain," and "where you can walk the world in an upright and upright way." "

After hearing this, Qiu Shiliu sighed: "Okay, I understand."

"So...are you willing to kill me?"

"I do." Qiu Shiliu said, "I'm offended."

"Thank you, sister."

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Shiliu reached out and pinched Xiao Xuanwu's neck. At this time, she no longer had the psychological burden and just silently increased the strength on her hands.

She also finally understood Xuanwu's past, and the only way to truly save her was to kill her.

But if you think about it carefully, if Xiao Xuanwu dies, she may enter the "Land of Ending", a place where she can truly have food and clothing, no illness, no pain, and an upright place.

There she wouldn't need to eat, wouldn't be hurt, and wouldn't be clothed.

What an ironic blessing?

"Xuanzi, I'm sorry." Qiu Shiliu said, "Bodhisattva has too many people to protect, and I may have accidentally left you behind."

Xiao Xuanwu blushed and squeezed out a wry smile from the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, sister... thank you..."

Qiu Shiliu watched helplessly as little Xuanwu lost his life little by little. Her face gradually turned purple and her eyes became red due to congestion.

When she was about to die, she suddenly widened her eyes and her expression became dull.

Before Qiu Shiliu could react, Xiao Xuanwu grabbed her arm with his slender palm.

Her strength was so great that it seemed as if the real Xuanwu had descended.

A sentence that made Qiu Shiliu's back numb came from Xiao Xuanwu's mouth:

"Bold... not only want to kill me... but also want to break my heart..."

"Bold... not only want to kill me... but also want to break my heart..."

Xuanwu shouted angrily and reached out to grab Wang Ba's huge arm.

Wang Ba saw that the situation was not good and struggled to break free several times but could not break free at all.

Then Xuanwu took a step forward, stretched out his foot and pressed against Wang Ba's lower abdomen, and then suddenly kicked, and one of Wang Ba's arms was torn off, and blood gushed out from his shoulder like a fountain.

"Ugh!"

Although Wang Ba could not feel the pain, he felt his body cold for a moment.

"Myna!!" Luo Shiyi and others exclaimed, attracting Bai Jiu's attention.

Bai Jiu looked around, but before she could confirm the situation on Xuanwu's side, she heard another scream coming from Jiang Shi's left eye.

"Ah!!!!"

She looked closely and saw that Jiang Shi's left eye was also full of scarlet blood.
