Chapter 99: Snake Resentment

There is a folk saying that there are five great immortals, which are gray, yellow, fox and white willow. Gray refers to mice, yellow refers to weasels, fox refers to foxes, white refers to hedgehogs, and the last willow refers to snakes.

These five great immortals often accompany human beings, and they are the most common monsters that human beings have seen since ancient times.Snakes that Yanming might provoke are regarded as incarnations of dragons by the folks, and they must be avoided in time if they are encountered. There is a folk story that after a family cut a snake wandering into the yard in half, they dreamed of a dead snake at night. It disturbed his family's chickens and dogs. From then on, the children cried every night, all the livestock in the family were killed, everything went wrong, and the family became impoverished day by day.

If the five immortals sincerely enshrine, they will become the housekeepers of the family, seek good fortune and avoid disasters, and bless their descendants; it has no effect if they are ignored, but if they are provoked, they will be vengeful masters.

Yanming didn't pay attention when he burned the village. Maybe he destroyed someone's offering to the immortal, or he just burned the whole nest of snakes.Now they have no way of knowing, they can only find a way to recruit the snake that came to revenge, and ask them clearly.

Yanming explained the details to Lin Jixuan: "When the village was burnt down, Mr. Sun said that he had checked carefully, and all the living villagers in the village were moved to other places. This village is very backward and poor. The poultry was also taken away with him, and he refused to let any one go. He and I were in the mountain wind at the time, worried that the epidemic would move with the wind, and asked me to do it early. I was worried that innocent people would be hurt, so I went to the village to check again and found It is true that all living beings moved away before the fire was lit."

"Snakes, rats, mosquitoes, can you make sure that one is not leaking?" He Dongyuan asked back, "When there is a fire, no life can escape, not to mention these creatures are often hidden so that people can't find them, how can you Listen to that bastard Sun Zhao to do this kind of thing? At least he is a monk."

"I know," Yanming said, "I thought about this situation at the time, but it was an emergency. Mr. Sun said that when the east wind blows to the next village and the disease spreads, it doesn't mean that the lives of a village will suffer! There is a mountain forest, there are streams, bacteria grow, there is no "

He Dongyuan was dumb for a while, and finally sighed, and said: "These considerations are correct, but your mistake is that you should not listen to Sun Zhao's words. It is impossible for him to have any compassion for others. He must be the one who did it in the village. What, to burn the village to cover up what he did."

Thinking of this, He Dongyuan said, "I'll go out and make a phone call."

Yanming was dumbfounded, looking at the back of He Dongyuan leaving like a storm, he slowly lowered his head, he turned his head, his bald head was dotted with six ring scars from practice.

Lin Jixuan didn't know how he lived these years. He had no father or mother. He lived in Faming Temple since he was a child, and lived in the world of Buddhist scriptures every day, taking it as his duty to save sentient beings.He traveled all over the world of consciousness from the scriptures, but rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with the real world of mortals.

The reality is full of ghosts and ghosts, and there are dead bones under the glamorous skin and flesh.

Lin Jixuan saw that Yanming was struggling, and comforted him: "There are many things like this in this world. Some things are good both in intention and practice, but there is a certain kind of people who will let your kindness Become evil, become wrong, what you have to learn now is to distinguish such people."

Yanming was startled, and looked at Lin Jixuan. The youth's pupils were dark and his eyes were calm, which gradually calmed his chaotic heart. He nodded and said, "Yes."

In less than half an hour, He Dongyuan came back angrily and said, "Fuck, I knew it was that idiot Sun Zhao who accidentally killed a snake that was about to mature in the village. He was afraid of being retaliated by the whole family so he let him go!" Yanming set the village on fire, and wanted to burn all the snakes to death first. All the shit he did was blamed on others, what the hell.”

He pointed at the tip of Yanming's nose and said, "Don't you know how to be clever! Find out more about who is who! Is it reliable! Don't come to someone to come up with a certificate from the branch office and ask you to help, just go."

Yanming didn't say a word, and let He Dongyuan reprimand him.

Usually at this time, Yanming would have returned with a cold snort early on. Seeing his attitude, He Dongyuan knew that he felt guilty, so he stopped criticizing and said, "It's useless to say these things now, it can only make you remember better in the future." , I have to find a way to survive this catastrophe for you. Burning a nest of snakes is a big deal, and they will not let it go until your descendants are in bad luck."

Yanming said, "I will have no descendants."

He Dongyuan laughed angrily again: "Okay, you are amazing."

Yanming recited "Amitabha" and said, "I will redeem my sins in this generation."

"It's good that you have this kind of heart," Lin Jixuan said, "We will help you too. I have a plan, and I hope you can cooperate."

Liu Chang dragged her slender body through the grass, and hid in a stone cave under a dilapidated low wall, inside was a nest made of hay she carried.This is a corner of Faming Temple, and she can hear the heavy ringing of the bell in Faming Temple, which helps her clearly distinguish the passage of time.

She has been here for a week, from that dilapidated and backward village to the temple filled with Sanskrit, she survived the pain of being burned by Sanskrit, and stayed here just to avenge a human being.

He is a monk from Faming Temple, whose dharma name is Yanming. He destroyed his nest and burned all her children on fire.

Those children were just babies at the age of human beings, waiting to be fed, without any attack ability, and their lives were so fragile that they would shatter when pinched, but they were reduced to ashes in the blazing fire.

Liu Chang lowered her head and pulled out a small piece of eggshell from the hay, and licked it lightly with the tip of her forked tongue.It was the only intact fragment of her preserved from the fire, the writhing pain and residual hate of its child.

She must avenge her child.

She curled up, listening to the bell outside, and could sleep for another two hours. When she woke up, she would go to Yanming's yard, get into Yanming's dream, and torture him with the girl's death.

She had no intention of killing the girl, and she didn't know how the girl died. After she got revenge, she would use her death to atone for the girl's sin.Before that, she must kill Yanming and let Yanming die in pain.

After forcing himself to calm down, Liu Chang's body trembling with hatred gradually calmed down.

She closed her eyes, and not long after, she suddenly smelled a familiar breath.

She opened her eyes suddenly, straightened her neck, stuck her tongue out, followed the smell a few times, and after making sure she smelled it right, she poked her head out of the cave and ran towards the source of the smell.

The smell was getting closer and closer. It was the smell of a little snake. She didn't know why there was a smell of a little snake in the temple. Whose child was that?Which mother was so careless and left such a small child in the wild?Why does it smell like this, bloody, what happened to her?Did you encounter any danger?

Liu Chang's heart was pounding, and she stopped in her tracks, identifying the direction of the smell, and finally confirmed that it was coming from the grass in the south. She approached cautiously, sniffed hard, and the smell of blood became more intense.

At that moment, her slender body stiffened, and the image of her child being buried in the sea of ​​fire appeared in her mind. Liu Chang's sanity was gone in an instant, and she uttered a mournful low cry, and got into the grass.

Lin Jixuan tightened the cage, and lifted it up suddenly, with a piece of blood-stained flesh attached. A slender green snake was fished out of the cage. It was about the thickness of an adult man's arm, coiled in the cage bag, struggling to struggle.

The scales on her body were incomplete, and the burn marks left by the flames could be seen on the flesh. The scars lined up with the damaged scales under the moonlight looked particularly terrifying.

She glared at Lin Jixuan and the others angrily, and roared in her throat: "Humans! You lied to me!"

When she saw Yanming out of the corner of her eye, Liu Chang twisted her body violently in the cage, her face showed a human appearance, and then suddenly transformed into a snake appearance, constantly changing between the two—but all of them were angry faces.

The sky at night suddenly darkened, as if a torrential downpour was about to erupt suddenly.

Liu Chang bit the cage hard, and let out a sharp growl from his throat.

Yanming stood in front of Liu Chang leaning on a crutch, looked at her painful face, recited a Buddhist gatha, and said, "I didn't know there was a nest of little snakes in the village."

Liu Chang paused, Litong looked at Yanming, grinned sharp teeth at her, resisting all communication.

Yanming explained the situation in that village in a low voice, and finally said: "It's my fault, and I'm willing to use everything I have to pay for my sins."

Liu Chang sneered, and looked at Yanming: "Everything? I just want your life, I want to curse your life of deformity and pain, and after death, your soul will be scattered——"

"Yes," Yanming nodded, and said, "But you shouldn't have killed Jiang Wei by treacherous means, she is innocent."

The fierce look on Liu Chang's face faded a little, and suddenly became ferocious again: "I bear the sins of me and her myself, but you Yanming, you are a monk who kills living beings, you are not worthy of reciting Buddha's name, you are blessed by the Buddha light of Faming Temple , I can’t kill you directly, but I have already sworn that I will use all means to make you pay for my children’s life, until after I die, my soul will also turn into an evil spirit to seek your life!”

She looked at Lin Jixuan and the others coldly, and said: "You are vain cultivators, and you are helping the evildoers to commit crimes, and you will die too!"

He Dongyuan seemed to find it amusing, laughed, hung her on the tree, and said face to face: "Sister Liu, we arrested you just to talk to you, what Yanming said is true, you have been in France for the past few days. Ming Si harassed him day and night and stared at him every day. He should know what kind of monk he was, rigid and stubborn. If you have a Buddha in your heart, you will naturally have the law of the Buddha."

Lin Jixuan said: "Although he set the fire at the beginning, he was also instigated and deceived by others. Now, regardless of the malice behind this, he just wants to repay you. Can you please give me the money?" His chance?"

Yanming bowed to her, performed a Buddhist ceremony, took off the eighteen practice beads hanging around his neck, brought them to Liu Chang, and said in a deep voice, "I am willing to use the eighteen beads to die for you." The children chant scriptures devoutly, and with these Buddha ties, they can become connected with the Buddha in the next life and be blessed by the Buddha."

Liu Chang was stunned. She knew the importance of practice beads to monks. These practice beads were the purest result of his practice over the years, and they were the purest Buddha's heart. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

In this life, the Buddha's relationship is broken.

When Liu Chang thought of Yanming's daily practice, her heart was not shaken, but every time she thought of the children who died tragically, she kept telling herself not to be shaken, and to avenge the children——

Thinking of this, she bared her teeth and stared at Yanming: "I don't believe you!"

Yanming sighed, moved the Buddha beads in his hand, and began to recite the scriptures: "Guanzizai Bodhisattva, practice the deep prajna paramita for a long time, see that the five aggregates are empty, and overcome all hardships..."

This is the "Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra". As Yanming recited, the practice beads in his hand turned into Buddha lights and disappeared at the fingertips.

Liu Chang looked at the flashing Buddha's light in front of her in surprise, and her ears were full of Sanskrit sounds. She shed tears and wet her cheeks, sobbed and began to cry loudly.

He Dongyuan sighed, pressed Yanming's hand to move the Buddhist bead, and suddenly heard the little monks in front of him shouting repeatedly: "Here we come!!! Uncle Master! Uncle Master! They are here!!!"

Jiang Pingfeng walked over quickly, what was he holding in his arms, because of running all the way, his forehead was covered with wet sweat, his expression changed when he saw the practice beads in Yanming's hands were dissipating, and he quickly took the swaddling baby in his arms. Hug to He Dongyuan: "Fortunately, I caught up."

The little monks gathered around, looking at Yanming with tears in their eyes, one of them rushed over, bowed to Liu Shang, and begged: "I'm sorry, benefactor, please forgive Master Uncle."

Other young novice monks also rushed over and said: "Benefactor, please forgive Master Uncle."

There was a young novice who couldn't hold back his emotions, tears streaming down his face and begged: "Uncle Shi is a good man, please don't ruin his cultivation, please... I beg you..."

He Dongyuan handed the swaddle to Lin Jixuan, and said in a low voice, "Go ahead and tell me, lest I say anything nasty."

"Virtue." Lin Jixuan glanced at him, took it, turned around and passed it in front of Liu Chang, and said, "The person who tricked Yanming and burned your lair back then secretly took one of the snakes away because he saw that this nest of snakes was spiritual. Here you are, your child is still there, and your hope is still there."

Liu Chang looked down and saw a little snake nestled in the swaddle. She recognized that it was her last child, who was thinner than the other children. She always thought that this child would have a hard time surviving, perhaps only a month. , maybe only seven days to live...

Unexpectedly, it became her longest-lived child.

Liu Chang let out a mournful cry, and the next moment, the little snake opened its eyes and arched its soft and thin body towards Liu Chang, the small scales on its forehead exuded a goose yellow, warm Buddha light.
