The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Chapter 370: Arousing public outrage, no way to defend oneself

Qu Xiaoyou had already been provoked to kill by the women, so without saying a word, he squeezed the cheeks of the woman who cursed the most fiercely, suppressed his nausea and pulled out her tongue, then with his other hand, swung the sword and cut off her tongue fiercely.

The knife came down with a slash of his hand, and before anyone could react, a pink, bloody tongue fell to the ground.

Looking at the woman again, she immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood. The intense pain hit her mouth and brain. Her eyes were wide open, her face was pale, and she made a miserable "woohoo" sound from her mouth.

"Ah!" Her companions were so frightened by this scene that they all let out shrill screams at the same time. Their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground. Where was the majestic look they had just now?

"Xiaoyou!" Chanmu was also shocked. He didn't expect Qu Xiaoyou to be so simple and rude. He wanted to teach these women a lesson, but he didn't expect Qu Xiaoyou to cut off her tongue.

Qu Xiaoyou took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the blade with disgust on her face. She looked down at the woman sitting on the ground and asked, "Are you still cursing?"

"Ouch..." The woman whose tongue was cut screamed silently. From her collapsed and resentful expression, it can be seen that she not only has no remorse, but also looks extremely angry and wants to tear out Qu Xiaoyou's tendons and bones.

Qu Xiaoyou snorted coldly, waved his sword and pointed it at the other women, approaching them step by step, "It's your turn now. Do you want to stick out your tongue, or do you want me to pull it out with my hands?"

The women were so frightened that they couldn't help but let out an extremely unpleasant howl, and their whole bodies were shaking like sieves.

"Your screams are so ugly." Qu Xiaoyou complained in disgust and was about to go forward and cut their tongues.

"Amitabha." A Buddhist chant rang out, Chanmu grabbed Qu Xiaoyou's arm, and tried to persuade her helplessly, "Okay, we've already taught them a lesson, so let's be merciful."

Qu Xiaoyou snorted disdainfully, "It is because I wanted to show some mercy that I didn't kill them. I only cut off their tongues. Otherwise, they would have been a pile of corpses."

Since living with Zenmu, she has become much more compassionate.

"It's okay, Miss Xiaoyou. I don't think they will dare to do that anymore." The other monks also calmed down and began to persuade Qu Xiaoyou.

Qu Xiaoyou thought for a moment, put away his sword, walked to Zen Mu, and left it at that.

But the matter was not over yet. It was already bright in the sky and many pilgrims had already arrived in the front yard.

The women's screams, like those of pigs being slaughtered, were too eye-catching, and some curious pilgrims came over upon hearing the noise.

Now, seeing that there were more people around, the women were no longer afraid. They sat on the ground, slapping their thighs and crying, as if they were possessed by a drama spirit.

"Oh my god, there is no law. These fake monks kept women for pleasure in such a sacred place as the temple. When we found out, they wanted to cut off our tongues to prevent us from spreading their scandals."

The woman whose tongue was cut also quickly understood. She released the hands that were covering her mouth and opened her mouth wide to show the pilgrims who had come. At the same time, she pointed at Qu Xiaoyou and the half of her tongue on the ground, crying in pain.

There were about a dozen pilgrims who came upon hearing the noise. They were all shocked when they saw the woman's bloody mouth and the severed tongue on the ground. Some of them even retched a few times.

"This...did you do this? How dare you commit murder and hurt people in broad daylight." An elderly man stood up to speak up for the woman.

"This is too much. This is the emperor's territory. You really have no respect for the law. Also, is what they said true? Are you really keeping women in captivity in the holy land of Buddhism for your own pleasure?"

Someone else stood up and pointed at Zenmu and others and questioned them indignantly.

Zenmu felt a little overwhelmed and said helplessly: "Dear donors, please listen to my explanation. Things are not as she said..."

"My sister has become like this, and you still dare to quibble!" A woman interrupted Chan Mu's words in a harsh voice, pointed her finger at Qu Xiaoyou, and accused him angrily.

"It was her. We came here to burn incense and walked to the backyard. We saw this woman playing and joking with the monks and talking frivolously. It was as disgusting as the scene in a brothel."

"What nonsense!" Chanmu was angry. At this moment, he really wanted to ignore the rules and regulations and tear the woman's mouth apart!

He and his fellow junior fellow apprentices may not care about their reputation, but how could Qu Xiaoyou, a girl, tolerate such insults and blasphemy?

"Dear donors, please don't listen to the nonsense these women are talking about..." The other monks also wanted to explain, but were interrupted by a pilgrim who raised his hand.

The pilgrim was a man in his fifties. He pointed at the woman with the cut tongue and said, "We want to ask you, did you cut off her tongue?"

“This…” Zenmu was speechless.

"I cut it, so what?" Qu Xiaoyou stood up and admitted it indifferently.

"why?"

"She has a foul mouth, so there's no point in keeping her tongue."

"What is your relationship with these monks?" someone else asked.

"I..." Qu Xiaoyou hesitated for a moment and replied, "We are just friends."

"Where do you live?"

Now Qu Xiaoyou was at a loss for words. She didn't care about her reputation, but Chanmu and the monks were kind enough to take her in, and she couldn't bring damage to the reputation of the temple.

Seeing that she didn't answer, the pilgrims threw the topic back to Chanmu, "Monks don't tell lies. You said that this girl is not related to you in that way, so where does she live? What is her identity?"

Zenmu lowered his eyes and sighed, then answered truthfully, "I live in this temple."

"Did you hear that?" a woman howled in a shrill voice, "How can a proper temple allow a woman to live here? These monks must have a close relationship with this woman.

"Fellow villagers, they used the money you donated to the Buddha to support women, and today they even injured someone. This is truly a heinous crime that cannot be tolerated by heaven. You should all see the true face of this temple!"

"This is really too much!" The two women believed the woman's words and angrily accused Zenmu and others.

"Monks are supposed to be pure and free from desires, but you monks secretly keep women and even cut off other people's tongues because they saw you doing this. What kind of monks are you?"

"That's right. My mother said that the Jingyuan Temple was efficacious for praying to Buddha. It turns out that it was just a bunch of fake monks who were swindling people. I'm so angry!"

The few women at the beginning saw that the wind was in their favor and performed even harder.

Especially the one with a severed tongue. He had really paid a huge price. He kept spitting out blood and crying. He earned the sympathy of the onlookers, but also made them hate the behavior of Zenmu and others.

Faced with this situation, Chanmu and others were speechless.

With the women's pitiful behavior and Qu Xiaoyou's residence in the temple, the pilgrims overwhelmingly sided with the women.

They were filled with indignation and began to accuse and abuse Chanmu and the other monks. When they got excited, their words were unbearable to hear.
