I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 405: Killing is to protect lives, killing karma is not killing people

The overwhelming arrows launched yet another siege by the Yongshan Camp rebels!

"Raise your shield! Don't let any gaps leak!"

"Everyone in the city, please go back inside and don't show your head!"

Seeing the arrows in the sky, Du Yu immediately shouted!

Amidst the banging sound, many large shields were hurriedly erected on the city wall, including the monk's large shield.

The next moment the shield wall was erected.

The sound of countless arrows hitting the shield sounded like raindrops.

All the people holding the shield looked ugly, and they used all their strength to resist the giant shield and block the arrows from the sky!

But Yongshan Camp is different from Yandi Prefecture soldiers and horses. It is Xia Chenfeng's direct soldiers and horses, so everything is the best.

Today's arrows and arrowheads are all made of fine iron, and are shot by a special battalion of crossbowmen. The strength of each person's arms is far beyond that of ordinary soldiers.

At present, the large shields held by the soldiers on the city wall at the pass are all wooden shields.

Of course it can stop one or two.

But after using it for a long time, and being attacked by such a dense arrow this time, it was inevitable that it would be damaged, plus the power gap.

then

Many people were killed in the first round of arrows.

The monk glanced at the soldiers beside him who were shot through by several arrows, and had no time to think about anything.

When he first entered the battlefield, when the monk saw his brothers and soldiers dying instantly, his mind went blank and he had nothing to think about.

But now, I have become accustomed to it, because there is no way out!

"Resist!!"

Du Yu watched the second round of arrows coming and picked up the huge shield of the dead soldier beside the monk.

Arrows rained down again.

Du Yu's face was ferocious. He used his whole body to resist the giant shield, but because of this, the wounds on his body naturally opened and there was more blood.

When the monk saw Du Yu like this, he put his hand on Du Yu's back.

Du Yu suddenly felt much more relaxed and looked at the monk with a grateful expression.

but.

Whoosh! !

However, an arrow shot out from the gap and shot directly through the monk's arm.

The monk frowned slightly, but did not intend to withdraw his arm supporting Du Yu.

Du saw the situation and had to shout.

But he felt that the second round of arrows was over. After looking at the monk, he immediately shouted: "Fire the arrow!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the veterans of Tanzhou on the top of the city bent their bows and shot arrows at the rebels who had approached the pass with two rounds of arrows.

Compared to the two rounds of arrows just now.

These seem a bit trivial at the moment!

Du Yu also saw the rebel momentum of this attack. With just one glance, Du Yu judged that Zhang Jue was anxious and was going to attack completely.

"Stone, get the hot water ready!"

But there is no time to think about this, because the ladder to heaven for the rebels who descended to earth has already appeared under the pass.

After the monk directly pulled out the arrow from his arm, he didn't care about the wound. He just looked down at the dense crowd of rebels, who didn't know how many more there were than on their city wall. After seeing such a scene too many times, he didn't care. How do you feel?

But this time, the monk only felt that there were more people below!

The murderous aura is even more intense!

Can.

Feel nothing, hear nothing, see nothing.

All he could feel was his own breathing.

All that could be heard was the roar of the enemy and the wails of the soldiers around him.

All you can see is the enemy in front of you.

Bang!

A huge ladder appeared in front of the monk.

Many rebels climbed up the ladder and began to climb up the city wall.

When the monk saw it, his face was ferocious, he grabbed the ladder with both hands, veins popped out on his arms, and then

The monk roared, but directly pushed the ladder down!

Screams sounded immediately.

The monk lowered his head and saw that the seven or eight people on the ladder fell down heavily. The ladder fell and hit many people.

Looking at the wailing below, the monk did not remove the ink mark, but took the boulder at hand and threw it towards the traitor on the other ladder!

The monk's master once said, "Killing is the first of the ten evil deeds, and Buddhist disciples are not allowed to do it."

But just a few days ago, the monk's master looked at the women and children in the city and said, "You kill the enemy, I am your master, and I will bear all the karma of killing."

The monk watched as the stones he threw hit several rebels, and even watched those people fall to their death.

Master, you are no longer able to bear the karma of killing that you have created. Therefore, brothers and sisters, I am willing to bear all the karma of killing that you have created. Whether you go to call me or go to Abi, where is the hell, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? Wherever everyone wants to go!

The monk looked at the ladder that was set up in front of him, especially when he saw that someone had already climbed up the ladder. He immediately raised the bloody knife in his hand and slashed it directly towards the face of the traitor!

Buddha, I repent of all the sins I have committed!

After folding his hands, the monk rushed elsewhere.

"Stop the traitors from entering the city! Don't let them enter the pass!"

Du Yu saw that there were more ladders than usual, and immediately shouted, and then slashed directly at the traitor who climbed up the nearest ladder.

The traitor was immediately slashed and kicked off the city wall by Du Yu.

But the next moment, a rebel had already climbed up and pounced directly on a civilian who was at a loss when he first entered the battlefield!

The people were so frightened that they fell to the ground. The rebels looked excited and raised their heads to kill them.

General Zhang has announced that anyone who kills the tumor with one kill will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!

When Du Yu saw it, he slashed directly at the traitor without caring about his injuries.

Then he dragged the traitor away and pulled up the soldiers on the ground.

But at this time.

Many rebel soldiers have climbed up the ladder to the city wall.

Several of the rebel soldiers saw Du Yu covered in blood at first sight.

They didn't know Du Yu, but Du Yu's clothes were lined with generals, so they all looked excited immediately.

General Zhang has announced that those who kill Du Yu will be sealed off from hundreds of households and given a thousand taels of reward!

A few miles away from Zhuzi Pass, Yongshan rebels attacked the rear of the army.

Zhang Jue rode on his horse and looked at the blood-stained generals fighting bloody battles at the pass in front of him.

"That Du Yu's head must be taken away." Xiao Podi looked at Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue said: "I once met a very remarkable person. I commented that Du Yu had far-reaching knowledge, strong willpower, and the style of an ancient Confucian general. But do you know what this person has been doing?"

Xiao Podi looked at Zhang Jue who was not panicked at all.

Zhang Jue said: "He has been greedy for money and money, and he has always claimed that he can only be an official in one state. No matter how old he is, he can't do it anymore. The matter of leading troops can only be learned from military books. In the Yandi officialdom, his popularity is very poor, and his reputation is even worse. Difference!"

Xiao Po Di heard this: "One person like this, with thousands of people, blocked the attack of an army of 50,000 people combined for five days."

Zhang Jue said: "Send the order, and the person who takes Du Yu's head will be granted a thousand households and a reward of ten thousand taels!"

boom! !

Under the pass city wall, a simple assault vehicle, operated by the rebels, began to attack the pass city gate.

On the city wall, Du Yu suffered more injuries. Many soldiers were slashing at him. If it were not for the protection of the old soldiers from Tanzhou, Du Yu would have been a corpse at the moment!

But now

Watch the rush car below!

Look at the rebels who were all about to kill themselves like wolves and tigers, but they were blocked by the old soldiers of Tanzhou.

Du Yu already knew it in his heart. He looked at the crashing sounds of the rushing car below, and his expression was solemn!

Without thinking too much, Du Yu jumped directly under the city wall!

Du Yu's strength is not high, he is only at the second level.

But by using the ladder and jumping to the ground, such a thing can still be done.

And jump to the ground instantly!

Du Yu's knife, which already had many gaps in his hand, struck directly at the people operating the car!

No extra moves, the knife is deadly!

In just the blink of an eye, several soldiers rushing around the car were directly killed by Du Yu, and one head rolled to Du Yu's feet.

Du Yu looked at the soldiers around him and shouted: "Du Yu's head is here! Come and get it!"

He was definitely rewarded with a head reward.

That’s it!

Then use your own life to let the soldiers and people on the city wall breathe a sigh of relief!

But die!

Why be afraid!

After roaring out, Du Yu pulled off his sleeve, tied the knife in his hand with it, and picked up the traitor's shield from the ground with his other hand.

When the rebel soldiers saw Du Yu jumping down from above, they thought he was stupid.

But when I heard that this man called himself Du Yu, I saw that the lining on his body was the clothes worn by a general!

A moment!

Everyone's eyes were greedy, like wolves and tigers.

In the next moment, he roared and rushed towards Du Yu!

The corner of Du Zhizhi's mouth rose up, he really had been offered a reward, but he didn't know how much my head, which weighs several kilograms, is worth!

Thinking like this, Du Yu rushed directly towards the rebel group.

Go to death calmly!

but.

boom! !

Just in front of Du Yu, a figure suddenly fell from the sky!

dusty.

Everyone was shocked, but after the dust dissipated.

Everyone, including Du Yu, saw the figure clearly.

It's that monk!

I saw the monk standing up covered in blood. Some of the blood belonged to him and some belonged to the traitors. The knife in his hand had been changed to another one. The one he was holding now was a better knife in the hands of the traitors. His was already The murderer was killed with a knife.

Standing up slowly, the monk with red eyes didn't know when he looked at these traitors. He found that there was black energy behind these traitors, and every ball of black energy turned into a black diamond in his eyes. .

The monk gasped and looked at the traitors in front of him, who seemed to be possessed by the black diamond, with ferocious expressions.

The rebel soldiers were startled when they saw the sudden appearance of the blood-monster-like monk.

But within a moment, a large number of soldiers rushed towards him!

The monk had no idea and rushed towards those living beings who were so dark in his eyes with his sword!

Blood splattered everywhere.

The monk was even redder.

But he saw that the black energy in the people in front of him showed no signs of weakening, but was increasing in number.

Only the monk can see the black energy, only he can see it clearly!

Only he knows what is so dark and angry in front of him!

"Don't stop yet!!"

That's when!

The black energy suddenly condensed into an existence like a Vajra with angry eyes. He looked down at the monk in front of him: "How can you call yourself a monk when you have committed a heinous act of murder, but you haven't stopped yet! How can you cultivate Buddhism!"

After hearing this, the monk with red eyes raised his eyes and looked at the black diamond dharma image: "The people I killed were all people with poor Buddha nature and could not be taught. Only by killing them can I save them and make them become Buddhas. What do you know?" !”

Black Vajra immediately became furious: "Using the words of Buddhism to find excuses for killing to satisfy your desire to kill! But you still don't admit it, then I'll beat you until you confess!"

The monk clenched the knife in his hand: "Five hundred years after the Buddha's death, there were monks and nuns who claimed to be Bodhisattvas and were running rampant in the world. They did all kinds of evil, disturbed people's hearts, and committed evil. They even pretended to be Vajra warriors with secret secrets, followed the law, and killed monks and nuns! It's you! Today! , I will destroy your false Buddha on behalf of the true Buddha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the monk's knife pointed straight at the black Vajra!

Cut it off with one knife!

The head of the black diamond fell to the ground, but it turned into smoke and dissipated.

In front of the monk, several rebel soldiers also fell directly!

but.

After all, he is just one person, surrounded by hundreds of traitor soldiers!

Swish!

Several knives either hit the monk or penetrated directly into the monk's body.

The monk looked at these traitors.

The black energy reaches the sky, and there is no Buddha light at all.

Vajra's angry eyes are extremely ferocious and have no Buddha nature!

With a low roar, the monk slashed down with the knife in his hand, and those traitors who thought they had succeeded became the dead souls under the knife!

And the monk even shouted loudly!

The blades inserted in the body also flew out one after another.

But a mouthful of blood also spurted out from the monk's mouth.

His whole body was in a trance!

With a snap, the knife in his hand was inserted into the ground. He knelt on one knee and spurted out another mouthful of blood.

The monk's eyes were red, and he looked up at the traitor who was still surrounded by black energy.

'I only hope that all the great benevolent deities of the ten directions will realize and protect their thoughts. I will repent now and never change my mind again. May I'

In his mind, the monk recited the scriptures.

Watching the traitors rushing towards him.

But he didn't have any strength to stand up.

But suddenly.

Golden light appeared

"kill!"

Du Yu and the hundreds of old Tanzhou soldiers who also jumped off the city wall by using the ladder roared, rushed to the monk's side, and killed the rebels!

Originally, the monk's vision was only red and black.

But the sudden appearance of gold made him look up at those people wrapped in golden light.

The red and black fade away.

The monk's body, which originally felt unusually cold, suddenly felt warm.

The monk does not have a lay name, but when he was young, many people called him stinky shit because he was ugly and fierce.

Later, no one was willing to adopt him. The abbot of Dabei Temple who was passing by took him back to Dabei Temple and gave him the dharma title of Huishe.

From then on, the monks in Dabei Temple were his brothers, and the abbot was his master.

The Buddhism taught in Dabei Temple is different from the Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism taught in other temples.

Buddhist sutras are not recited in the temple because Master said that the Buddha is not inside and there is no need to study and recite sutras.

There are no Buddha statues in the temple, because Master said those are just clay sculptures and bronze statues, and the Buddha is not there, so there is no need to worship. Where is the Buddha?

Master said, Buddha exists in all living beings.

Therefore, the practice of monks in Dabei Temple is asceticism.

No matter where you go, you should only eat two meals a day. If you haven't succeeded in praying at noon, you won't eat any more. If you still haven't succeeded in praying in the afternoon, you won't eat either.

Master said that this is spiritual practice. If you eat after the time has passed, you will be tired and have selfish desires.

Monks only eat alms and never touch money. This is because they are not greedy.

If the people need help, they should come forward to help without asking for anything in return. Even if the people want to give, they should not take it. Because the Buddha is among all living beings, this is respect for all living beings.

Self-examination six times a day and confession six times a day.

Food items brought to the temple by believers may be collected, but they must be given to poor people and not kept or used for personal use.

Huishe once asked Master, if the Buddha is among all living beings, how can we determine who is the Buddha among all living beings?

Master replied, if you see the true Buddha, the true Buddha will see you.

Hui She was puzzled and thought Master's answer was profound.

But I also felt that I didn’t practice enough, so I practiced harder.

A year ago, many people fled to Dabei Temple for refuge, and Master took them in. However, Hui She saw that some of those people had spoken ill of them, and he was unhappy and wanted to drive them away.

But Master didn't say anything and still took them in, including several pregnant women.

Master cleared out the hall where monks usually meditate to give birth to babies. However, the pregnant women were weak and the infant children were even more in danger.

The master went to the mountains to catch pheasants and came back.

Then, he personally killed them and cooked them for pregnant women and children, saving the lives of several children.

Many people say that this is merit and does not count as killing karma.

Master said that killing karma can only be exchanged for killing karma, but it cannot be exchanged for merit. What we did today were all selfish thoughts, the result of insufficient cultivation, and also committed sins and violated the precepts.

With so many people under his protection, there was less food to eat in the temple. The master went without food for several days, and the monks followed suit.

At that time.

Huishe saw that the master seemed to have a golden light.

He felt like a Buddha, but Master never looked at him.

later

After the disaster passed, there was a noble person among the people who were protected. The noble person came to Dabei Temple and wanted to build a hundred pagodas for the master. He also wanted to donate money to Dabei Temple.

The master refused them all, saying only that there was no need to record merits and deeds when saving people. If you are greedy for recording these merits and want others to know them, this is anger and you cannot violate the precepts.

A few months ago, monks from Dabei Temple went to Tanzhou to perform asceticism.

I saw Du Yu working and laughing with the people in the fields.

For some reason, Hui She saw that Lord Du Yudu, who had a bad reputation and was called a corrupt official, actually had a golden light on his body.

Hui She told Master.

Master said that Buddha has ten thousand appearances, but his origin is goodness, righteousness and benevolence.

Then, Master led the monks of Dabei Temple to salute Master Du Yudu and left without talking.

And now.

Huishe saw the golden light from Du Yu again.

And it's not just Du Yu, but also the old soldiers in Tanzhou, all those people who came to die just to save others.

All have golden light.

Hui She, who originally had only red and black eyes, gradually became clearer and the red and black colors faded away.

suddenly!

Huishe seemed to feel something and looked back.

I found soldiers fighting on the city wall, those old Tanzhou soldiers who came to die to protect the people, and those innocent people who had to take up arms to protect themselves and their families.

There was golden light shining all over his body, and those people felt like they were all looking at him.

Very beautiful

Hui She had never seen such beautiful scenery in her life.

What is Buddha?

Hui She doesn’t know, but Master has said that Buddha has ten thousand appearances and all living beings are Buddhas.

And now.

Hui She only felt the scene in front of her.

It's just like.

I look at the real Buddha, and the real Buddha looks at me.

"Chier, you haven't woken up yet."

Suddenly, Hui She saw a familiar figure in the golden light.

That skinny and hunched figure.

"Master."

Hui She's eyes were completely clear. She looked at the kind-hearted old man in front of her and called out softly.

"Senior brother, hehe~~"

"Junior brother."

The next moment, the figures of the brothers who were usually together all appeared next to the old monk.

Everyone, including the old monk, looked at Hui She and was crying in sadness.

The old monk stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Hui She's head, "I'll make you suffer."

Hearing this, Hui She raised her eyes to see her master and fellow apprentices crying. Tears flowed out of the corners of Hui She's eyes unconsciously, and she choked with sobs: "It's not bitter."

The old monk looked at Hui She: "How many people have been killed?"

Hui She was surprised and did not dare to answer.

The old monk Qingrou Huishe raised his head with a look of pity: "How many people have been saved."

Hearing this, Hui She subconsciously looked towards the city head.

The old monk smiled: "No problem, no problem, I am your master, and your killing karma will be shouldered by the master."

At the same time, the brothers and sisters said: "Hui She, we are with you."

Huishe looked at everyone and choked up, "I killed too many, too many. It was too serious, the crime was too heavy. But I had to kill, I had to."

The old monk stretched out his hand to help Hui She wipe away her tears: "Killing is to protect living beings; killing karma is not killing people."

The old monk continued: "Don't be lazy in your practice from now on. Remember, the Buddha is among all living beings and respect all living beings."

After saying this, the old monk and the other monks and nuns clasped their hands towards Huishe.

When Hui She saw it, she immediately said, "I want to go with you too!"

The old monk shook his head: "Idiot, you still have unfinished business."

The old monk turned around and disappeared into the golden light.

The monks followed closely behind.

Hui She wanted to stop him, but in an instant, the golden light dissipated and everything disappeared.

Only those Du Yu and Tanzhou veterans who still have golden light in Hui She's eyes.

But the black aura is constantly swallowing the golden light.

The disparity in numbers caused Tanzhou's old soldiers to disappear like fish into a river, many of them disappearing in an instant.

Suddenly!

Hui She felt something and looked back at that moment!

He saw a sharp arrow flying towards him.

Huishe's eyes froze, but he felt that the speed of the sharp arrow was extremely slow!

He immediately raised his hand to grab the sharp arrow just in front of his eyebrows, and applied gentle force, and the fine iron arrow bent immediately.

Du Yu, who originally planned to save Hui She, saw this scene and looked horrified when he rushed over.

Huishe looked at Du Yu, said nothing, and stood up.

He saw the old Tanzhou soldier under the stairs who was killed by the rebels, and saw many old Tanzhou soldiers killed by the rebels.

Killing is to protect life, killing karma is not killing people

Master, I don’t understand and I don’t understand.

But

I can't do it without killing them, or this is my cause and effect.

in this way

Then I will end these causes and effects!

Master, senior brother, junior brother, wait for me!

I saw golden light appearing around Hui She, roaring, and rushed directly into the rebels!

Covered in blood and glaring with anger!

Such as the Buddhist Angry-Eye Vajra!

Whether Du Yu or the old soldiers of Tanzhou who were still alive around him, seeing Hui She like this, their hearts agitated and they all became braver!

But right now.

Du Yu heard the sound.

"It turns out that there really is a saying about 'surpassing three kalpas and becoming a Buddha'. I didn't expect to see it on the battlefield. But thankfully it's just one kalpa. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to reach the final state of becoming a Buddha."

The next moment he heard the voice, Du Yu turned around suddenly, but at some point, a person appeared behind him.

Xiao Podi looked at Du Yu and said, "I won't report myself to my family. After all, I'm here to take your head, Mr. Du."

Du Yu only wanted to speak after hearing this!

He saw that Xiao Po Di had already appeared in front of him.

This shocked Du Yu.

However, Xiao Podi did not take action immediately, but said: "Zhang Jue asked me to ask you, is it worth it? Even if you risk your life, you will just defend the territory for those powerful people."

Du Yu took a few steps back and looked at the Mobei man in front of him. He knew that the other person was probably a martial arts master, so he did not dare to be careless. He clenched the knife in his hand and replied: "I, Du Yu, never work for a certain powerful person, let alone the emperor." When I plan things, the only people I plan and do are the people of Daxia!"

After saying that, Du Yu made a posture and looked at the Mobei people in front of him coldly: "It's worth dying for my people in Daxia!"

Xiao Po Di raised the corner of his mouth and said nothing, but there were two more black weapons on his hands. They appeared next to Du Yu in an instant: "My name is Xiao Po Di, Mobei Pioneer General, ninth grade. .”

While speaking, Xiao Podi raised his black mace and smashed it directly towards Du Yu!

boom! !

Xiao Podi's expression condensed!

Just because Hui She, who originally rushed towards the enemy formation, went away and came back. He grabbed the black mace in one hand, stared at Xiao Po Di angrily, and without any extra words, he hit Xiao Po Di directly with his head!

boom! !

Xiao Po Di was directly knocked out!

A black weapon was released.

There was blood flowing from Hui She's forehead, but he didn't care at all. After all, he was like all the old soldiers from Tanzhou present, and even more like Du Yu, who was covered in blood, so he didn't care at all.

He just held the black mace in his hand and looked at Xiao Podi: "Repent all sins and rejoice in all blessings."

While chanting sutras.

Hui She rushed directly towards Xiao Po Di!

Xiao Poidi was stunned by the sudden collision, but after all, he was at the ninth level of strength, and he immediately felt Hui She rushing towards him.

Especially when he saw Hui She smashing his mace at him!

But he didn't avoid it at all, and he picked up his black mace and threw it at Hui She!

boom!

Two black weapons collided.

The powerful momentum also exploded in an instant!

Xiao Podi looked at Hui She in front of him, and touched the scimitar behind him with his other hand.

but.

That's when.

The earth trembles!

The trumpet sounds from the east.

Everyone on the battlefield subconsciously looked to the east.

I saw countless cavalry rushing towards me like a black tide like a great river!

I saw that there was a heavy load of large banners on top of the cavalry at the forefront!

The big scroll has the word "Xia" written in gold foil!

There are also some big flags with the word 'Zong' written on them!

The Snow Eagle Cavalry of Commander Zongze of the Northern Territory of Daxia!

The best cavalry in the northern part of Daxia!

In an instant, the Snow Eagle Cavalry crashed directly into the rebel army!

When Xiao Poidi saw this scene, he frowned, stopped his strength, and then disappeared instantly.

Hui She watched Xiao Po Di leave, but she was no longer able to pursue him anymore.

boom!

The huge body fell heavily to the ground.

then

Look at the traitors fleeing in all directions.

Du Yu's body was also trembling at the moment, but when he saw the reinforcements arriving, he inevitably relaxed, and the severe pain and fatigue all over his body completely invaded him.

Look back at the city wall.

When Du Yu saw the surviving people, he didn't smile because there were very few who survived.

Du Yu clenched the knife in his hand.

At least some were saved.

boom!

Like Hui She, Du Yu also fell.

Like Du Yu, hundreds of Tanzhou old soldiers who jumped off the city wall and were willing to die with Du Yu now have only a few dozen left, all covered in blood and trembling.

Seeing Du Yu fall, those who still had strength ran over reluctantly.

When he discovered that Du Yu was still breathing, he was immediately overjoyed: "He's still alive, he's still alive!!"

After hearing this, Hui She no longer forced herself to get up, but looked at the scene where many people rushed to save Du Yu.

He looked at the scene of many people running towards him.

Look at the children who ran to the city wall and survived.

Huishe reluctantly clasped her hands together and said, "I hope this merit will spread to everything."

Click~~~

Just under a city wall that Hui She didn't know, the former master's Buddhist bead gently shattered.

"May all sentient beings achieve Buddhahood together."

The originally hazy dark clouds suddenly dispersed without warning, and the sun shrouded the scene.

Ps: Yesterday’s chapter was supposed to be a big chapter, but it was a little difficult to write, so I’ll make it up today.
