I plant love Gu for Xianjun

On one side are more than a dozen corpses who were killed by mistake, and four infants and children who are in urgent need of treatment; on the other side are more than a dozen fellow brothers and sisters.How should we choose?

In Hui Kong's story, the "youth" chose the former.

The young man tried to convince his fellow disciples that there was a difference between negligence and premeditated murder, and even if it was handed over to Fazong for adjudication, the crime would not entail death.For the current plan, it is still necessary to send the injured child back to the village first, and then make a long-term plan.

However, someone immediately objected, saying that he was not worried about his life, but that he didn't want his good future, which he had worked so hard to earn, to be ruined because of this negligence.

Someone suggested: If the children are to be sent back, they must first use flames or other means to destroy the marks of sword wounds on their bodies.As for the dead body, it was immediately thrown into the water. It was said to the outside world that the female corpse was carrying the babies and threw it into the river.

Between coming and going, the brothers who were originally brothers and sisters actually quarreled and refused to give in to each other.In the chaos, the young man did not know who was sneaking up on him from behind, and he lost consciousness with a sap.

Having said that, Hui Kong paused for a moment, and moved his head with difficulty, as if it was humming and hurting.

"...When the young man came to his senses again, he found that he had returned to the village. At the same time as him, the villagers brought back the corpses of those dozens of babies."

His fellow apprentices have long since disappeared.It seems that in the end, they still couldn't negotiate a complete solution, so they simply chose to make birds and beasts scatter.Only he, who was knocked out, became the serious culprit.

That night, crying was everywhere in the village, and the air was heavy with the smell of burning joss sticks.But in the face of the young man's kowtow and confession, the villagers did not do anything to him, they just tied him up and locked him in the room where the children's coffins were kept.

Sitting alone all night, it was bitterly cold.

After one night, the elders of the division and members of Fazong came.According to the usual practice, young people were expelled from the school and handed over directly to the Fazong.As for those fugitives who are scattered like birds and beasts, they will also be pursued together, and they will be severely punished after they are captured.

In Fa Zong's dark and dark yamen, which seemed to be perpetual night, the young man was deprived of the few cultivation bases in his body, and then sent to the water prison infested with snakes and insects. The sentence was long and endless.

"The young man thought that his life would be like this, wasting away in the darkness... But who knew, after many years, the sun suddenly passed through the impenetrable high wall and hit him directly in front of him."

Until now, Huikong still doesn't know who is the person who extended a helping hand to the young man.He is like a ray of dream soul, appearing out of nowhere in the dark and forbidding depths of Fazong's prison.Only the black iron mask on his face shows that he should also be a member of Fazong.

The young man still remembers every word of what the man said clearly.

"Although you have no intention of killing, others died because of you. You are indeed guilty, but you are not guilty of death. I think it is useless to keep you here. If you have the heart to repent, I will give you another chance .”

So the young man escaped and flew away from Fazong's prison known as "heavenly prison".But this was an absconding after all, and Fazong's people quickly noticed it, and chased after him all the way.

The young man fled to the town on the outskirts of Liuquan. This is his hometown, and there is a place he has been familiar with since he was a child—Shanguo Temple.

It's just that the temple, which was young and full of incense, is now dilapidated and deserted.The Beast Heart Cliff was razed to the ground, and the monks left their hometowns. Only the clay sculpture Buddha in the main hall still lowered his eyes, looking down at all living beings.

The moment they stepped into Shanguo Temple, young people knew that this place would be their destination in life.

According to the laws of Dayan and the cultivation world, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism support each other but do not interfere with each other.Once you enter the door of release, no matter what crime you have committed before, no one in the Taoist door is allowed to break into the door of release to catch the suspect.It must be up to the prisoner to decide whether to expel the perpetrator, or to wait until the perpetrator leaves the prison voluntarily.

Shanguo Temple has been abandoned for many years now, so naturally no one came to drive the young man out, so Fazong's pursuers could only wait for the young man to step out of the temple, and then take it down in one fell swoop.

This didn't seem to be a difficult task, after all, the young man hid alone in the abandoned temple, without food and clothing, and couldn't survive for a few days at all.However, this is the youth's hometown after all, and his family quickly found him.

Besides, most of the servants at the bottom of the sect were once sinners of the immortal sect, who were restrained by the forbidden curse of the sect, and worked hard for them in an attempt to avenge their merits.And one of the curses imposed on them is not to actively attack ordinary people.

Thus, the young man's family was able to move freely and day after day began to bring him food and clothing.He even brought plant seeds to let him settle in the temple to reclaim wasteland.

And that young man found a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures when sorting out the ruins of the Zen temple. He planted vegetables and irrigated the garden during the day, and meditated at night, living a peaceful and peaceful life.

However, the good times didn't last long, and the tranquility in Shanguo Temple was soon interrupted by a group of murderous people.

The matter has to go back to the family of the young man.His older sister lost her husband in the early years and left no heirs; while her younger brother went to the fairy gate, and the family had no labor, so she had to remarry to a poor and settled family in the town, which was regarded as recruiting a son-in-law.

But it was this shabby household, who felt that he had become the master of the house.Eat too much and be lazy all day long, it's like inviting a Bodhisattva.He is also addicted to drinking and gambling, but within a few years, he has already lost half of his family fortune.

It was precisely because of his addiction to gambling that he actually provoked a group of bandits and led them into Shanguo Temple, turning a beautiful Buddhist temple into a den of bandits.

The young man who couldn't leave Shanguo Temple for half a step, together with the vegetation in the temple, became the property of the gangsters.He has to take care of the vegetable garden, wash clothes, prepare wine and vegetables for them, and if there is any trouble, he will be punched and kicked.

But it's fine if it's just a physical injury. What's even more frightening is that among the gangsters, there are still some who are unscrupulous men and women.As a result of his sexuality, but he didn't have money in his hands to vent his anger, he vented it all on the young man, often making his life worse than death.

It wasn't until this time that the young man realized that he had been in prison all along, and it was even more miserable than before.

Speaking of grief, Hui Kong stopped to breathe again, and Ah Qing squatted on the bed to give him relief.

And Ajie obviously realized that what Huikong said was about his own experience, and asked softly: "Then why didn't he run away? As long as he leaves this Shanguo Temple, the Fazong people will take him away, isn't that right?" Can you stay away from those gangsters?"

"Yes, he can indeed escape back to Fazong's prison, at least there will not be bullying prisoners." Hui Kong nodded slowly, "But, he is reluctant to do that..."

Hui Kong didn't explain the reasons in detail, but looked at A-Qing and A-Qing with a complex and indescribable gaze.

A-Ting also stopped talking, it was hard to guess whether he understood Huikong's true meaning.

However, as a bystander from the future, Mr. Fengzhang knew very well in his heart: at this moment, Hui Kong was not only looking at A-Ding, but also saw a longer time and space through A-Ding's frail body. The children who couldn't be erased from the depths of his heart.

For Huikong, Shanguo Temple is actually a more miserable prison.But unlike Fazong Heavenly Prison, in addition to punishing his physical body, this prison can also redeem his heart—it is precisely because of his desire to be redeemed that Huikong endured all kinds of insults and treated him as a slave. With such a despicable posture, he walks between the gangsters and the children, and does not hesitate to use his own body as a trade item to protect those poor children who should not be cared about.

Ah Zing and Huikong stared at each other silently for a long time, until Huikong coughed in pain, and his lungs made a terrible sound like a broken bellows.

"I'm leaving, you... go too. From now on, you can only rely on yourself."

During the interval of coughing, Hui Kong, who was dying, almost exhausted all his strength, waved to the two children, and made a final farewell.

"Hide the things I gave you... Choose the most certain opportunity and save yourselves."

-

In order to save Ah Ding's life, no one will know what kind of terrible conditions Huikong accepted at that time.Perhaps, this eternal mystery is actually a kind of respect for him.

Two days later, Hui Kong died.

The gangsters, of course, did not make his death public.It was the child in charge of cleaning who found Huikong's courtyard door was ajar, so he walked over curiously to have a look.It was discovered that the bandit leader who didn't often appear in Shanguo Temple was actually standing in the yard, and a bucket of straw mats was rolled up on the floor under the eaves, with a pair of bare feet, yellow-green, protruding from the end.There is a bowl of white rice in front of the feet, a boiled duck egg and three pillars of fragrance on top.

That afternoon, some children heard the quarrels and fights of the gangsters coming from the front hall.Immediately afterwards, several people were carried out of Shanguo Temple, and they have not appeared since then.

At night, there were heart-piercing cries from a woman in Huikong's small courtyard.The Shanguo Temple was extremely quiet tonight, the sound of crying was like a strand of white ghost wandering in the courtyard and every wing room, but no one came to interrupt it.

At dawn, the crying stopped.And after that, Ah Tiao never saw Lei Shi and his wife again.

Life in Shanguo Temple continues.

A-Ting's injury is recovering at an astonishing speed, and soon he can be arranged for daily work again.But obviously, the value those gangsters hoped to extract from him was far more than that.

Gossip, one after another, gathered from all directions.All point to the same thing: the gangsters are considering leaving Shanguo Temple.

There are many reasons for wanting to leave.Haunting is one of them that is generally accepted.Because almost every child has seen the will-o’-the-wisp in the bone cellar, and heard the cry of a child in the courtyard late at night.

Another reason seems to be more convincing in Feng Zhangjun's view: Over the years, this group of gangsters is like a group of leeches, gradually sucking up the nutrients of the surrounding towns, and the children currently "raised" in the temple have also arrived one after another. "Harvest" season.

What led the gangsters to make a final decision was a sudden situation——

I don't know whether it was because of Lei Shi's obstruction or some other reason, but Hui Kong's body was not taken away by his relatives.The gangsters did not throw it into the cellar where the child's bones were hidden, but were sent out of the Shanguo Temple overnight.

However, before the bandits carrying the corpse had gone far, a member of Fazong in black descended from the sky, beat the two of them half-mutilated with one palm, and took the corpse away.

Hearing this, Feng Zhangjun's heart skipped a beat.

People in Fazong who can attack ordinary people should not be restrained by the forbidden curse, which means that they are not low-level ghost officials.Perhaps that was the person who let Huikong go, and what he gave Huikong was not just a "possibility of escape", but a "chance of redemption".Now that Huikong has completed his merits and virtues, he appeared and took Huikong's body and soul away.Could Huikong now become a member of Fazong?

In any case, Fazong's appearance was indeed quite a shock to the gangsters.It also objectively contributed to their relocation plan.

Shanguo Temple started to get busy again.The bandits were busy packing up the property and belongings hidden everywhere and loading them into the carriage, but they neglected to guard the children.

Ah Ting, who had not been injured for a long time, started his escape plan again.

This time, the plan was rapid and gradual. He chose the lowest-looking and dilapidated wall on the right side of the temple. Taking advantage of the opportunity of working, he began to push various broken wooden boxes and earthen basins from the house by the wall. Wait for the garbage.Due to the imminent move, the inside and outside of the temple are very messy, and no one seems to have noticed his small movements.

This upward piling project continued secretly for two days, and on the evening of the third day, Ah Zing felt that the time was ripe.

He found an opportunity when no one was around, climbed up the garbage mountain with hands and feet, and began to look outside the wall.

Wait a minute... Feng Zhangjun felt as if a needle had been pricked in his head, and he suddenly corrected some very important memories.

This mountain of garbage seems familiar.It seems that I have seen it with my own eyes before——

Isn't this the "rockery" that A-Ting stepped on when he and A-Ting met for the first time? !

The author has something to say: According to the original outline, Hui Kong and the bandit leader had a little story, but it has little to do with the main story, so it was cut off, and left in this fragmented form for everyone to make up for themselves.In any case, the bandit capital is a bad guy, so I don’t really want to spend a lot of time writing about him~~

Huikong has already joined the Fazong.Who is the person who rescued him, everyone can make up their minds at will.The answer is obvious!
