The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 106 The Ugly Slave (15)

It wasn't until then that I realized that the abbot monk was not chasing and running all the way to watch the excitement.It's just that what people never expected was that we almost speculated that everyone was the murderer, but in the end the murderer jumped out and admitted himself.The people present were a little embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say.

"Since the truth of the matter is the case, why did the monk abbot say it until now?" Ji Youjie asked with a slightly flushed face.

"Hey, it's so obvious. Who else has the chance to kill other than the old monk? The old monk thought to himself, you will understand when you go back and think about it. It's just a good time to clean up the temple. I waited for someone to arrest me, but I couldn't wait for the left and right, so I had to come down the mountain by myself." The old monk said with a smile.

This is obliquely saying that we are stupid.I remembered that I was being smart, calling this one a murderer and that one a murderer, and I was so ashamed that I wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

The abbot monk ignored our face completely, and continued to say contentedly: "The old monk came down the mountain, thinking that he was going to see the Buddha soon. Lingshan is clean, but there is nothing exciting to watch, so he went to listen to a show first. After listening After the play came out, I originally wanted to go to the town hall, but who knew there would be such a lively scene to watch."

As he spoke, he looked around at the people present, and sighed: "It's really a big drama in the world."

It is indeed a great drama, although our conjectures about the murderer are all wrong, but all kinds of desires, greed, hatred and ignorance are all present in the middle, and there are all kinds of human states.Now that the truth has come to light, An Qi'er naturally doesn't have to go to the town hall anymore, but how to deal with the abbot monk has become a big problem.

Even if he kills in order to liberate others, he has violated the commandment to kill and violated the law.But the old monk is already old, and he will go to see the Buddha at any time, and it will not harm others.So Ji Youjie hesitated for a while, not knowing how to make a decision.The old monk didn't wait for him to speak, so he got up and said, "Let's go."

He may have decided to bear the consequences when he killed Xin Ruyi. Looking at his old body, I could only think of one sentence, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"

Ji Youjie had no choice but to apologize to An Qier and the others, and then took the abbot monk back to the town office, telling him along the way that he would report the truth to the county.He wanted to resolve this grievance, and it was Xin Ruyi's own wish to seek death, so the county should not do anything to him.

The abbot monk was still smiling, showing no worries at all.When they arrived at the town hall, Xin Fuzhen and the others were still there, and Ji Youjie went over and called Xin Shouyi over, and told the truth again.They were all dumbfounded, but naturally no one would blame the abbot monk.

Not only that, Xin Shouyi's eyes filled with tears, and he knelt down in front of the abbot monk with a plop.The abbot touched his bald head and said with a smile, "Do you still want to return to vulgarity?"

Xin Shouyi choked up and said, "I entered Buddhism from a young age, and all my life I only wanted to recite scriptures and recite the Buddha's name. I only wanted to return to the vulgar world because I couldn't get rid of the demonic barrier in my heart. Since Master has broken this barrier for me, I naturally don't have to return to the vulgar world."

"Good! Good!" the abbot monk reassured, "In that case, I will leave my Yunmen Temple to you. Don't take it lightly when you clean it in the morning and evening."

Xin Shouyi agreed, and he will probably stay in Plum Blossom Town from now on.After the matter is finished, people who have nothing to do with it will naturally have to go back separately. Ji Youjie ordered Xiangyong not to treat the abbot monk slowly, and then asked me to go back to Ji's house with him.I told him that I still have some things to ask the abbot monk, and I asked him to come back first, and I will arrive later.

Ji Youjie looked at me in surprise, but didn't say anything, turned around and went out to close the door.After experiencing this incident with the Xin family, I was really confused. There were things I couldn't figure out about human nature and desires.Like Xin Ruyi, since he has made up his mind to pay the price and chase after the fireworks in the world for 20 years, he should enjoy it to his heart's content.

But in fact, he has been having trouble sleeping and eating. The whole meaning of these 20 years in the world seems to be waiting for Xin Shouyi to kill him.So after hearing that Xin Shouyi didn't kill him, he collapsed and scolded Xin Shouyi for being a coward.That being the case, he didn't regret coming to the world.

What kind of psychology is in it, it is really hard for me to understand.I asked the abbot monk for advice on these puzzles. The abbot monk was silent for a while, and sighed: "These 20 years of pain and the final payment with his life are the price he was determined to pay in the first place. He thinks that only the addition of the two, Only in this way can he offset his faults. And the reason why he doesn’t regret coming to the world is because he thinks he has done both.”

It turns out that these 20 years of suffering are also the price Xin Ru planned to pay early on.I was silent when I heard the words, Xin Ruyi would rather endure 20 years of pain in the human world than stay alone in the mountains, right?
And how should we view desire?In the process of investigating this matter, everyone has their own desires, Xin Fuzhen wants to be with him, Qian Bo and Yu Ma want to take care of Xin Fuzhen, An Qier needs food and clothing, and even Ji Youjie wants to take over the Xin family property. benefit.But who is to say they were wrong?

"Don't be too horny," the abbot monk said softly, "Desire is not terrible. The Buddha still accepts three sticks of incense from the human world. Human beings are supposed to do human things. If there is something to do, just do it."

"Aren't you opposed to these greed, hatred and ignorance in the world?" I asked him.

"If everyone can let go of greed, hatred and ignorance, wouldn't you be dissatisfied with the world being full of monks and nuns? Such a world would be too boring, no good, no good. The world must have a taste of the world."

I thought about it quietly for a while, then got up and thanked him, and walked out of the town hall, feeling lighter in my heart.Originally, I wanted to witness this incident of the Xin family, and when I thought about the affairs of the Wen family and the Wei family, I felt panic in my heart, for fear that I would also fall into such a psychological barrier.

But the abbot monk said it rightly, people in the world should do things in the world, and do whatever there is to do, this is the taste of the world.After I figured this out, my feet felt light immediately, thinking that I had spent so much time in the town, and this day would soon turn over. I'm afraid it's too late to go to Tantou Town, so I can only stay at Ji's house Bother one night.

When I returned to Ji's house, it really got dark very quickly. The two wives of Ji's house had prepared dinner and waited for me. They also said that they had cleaned up the room for me and let me stay at home.I thanked them gratefully, dined with the family, and then sat and chatted about some topics.

Only then did Ji Youjie ask about my experiences along the way, and I briefly talked about it, and at the same time told him that I had already met Bu Ying, Jindi, Hu Xiaotian and others.Ji Youjie reached out and took a closer look at the sign on my chest. I asked him, "Is this sign a token of the organization?"

Ji Youjie nodded casually, and then suddenly asked: "Did they not tell you anything?"

"Ah?" I was taken aback, "What did you say?"

Ji Youjie didn't answer, his face was very strange, he seemed to be lost for a while, and then he said: "It's nothing. Is the letter that Old Master Wen gave you still there?"

I nodded and took the letter out of the bag and handed it to him.Ji Youjie took the letter and took out the letter paper to look at it, rubbing the letter paper with his hands, with a very complicated expression on his face.I have seen this kind of look on Hu Xiaotian's face, and Jindi too. Although she didn't ask to read the letter, she also had an unusual look when she mentioned it.

However, I have absolutely no idea why they have that look.Ordinarily, the sign on my neck is the token of the organization, but no matter who sees this sign, they just take a fancy to it, but when they see this blank letter, they are very solemn.Could it be that this letter, sent to someone unknown, is actually more important than the token of the organization?

Ji Youjie naturally wouldn't tell me anything, so I said a few insignificant words to him, and seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, I apologized and walked into Ji's guest room to rest.I have traveled all the way to find the truth about the tragedy of the Wei family, but the irony is that the people inside the organization brought me more mysteries.

They knew something, but they wouldn't tell me anything.However, the matter of the Wenwei family is very likely to be done by people inside the organization. They are so secretive, and they immediately enveloped themselves in a layer of suspicious smoke.Ji Youjie also said that those people waited nearly 20 years to attack the Wen family because they were waiting for me to grow up, so as soon as I left the Wen family, the Wen family was immediately buried by a landslide.

Ji Youjie seemed to have an answer to this in his heart, but he refused to say it.I was distracted by the case of the Xin family today. When I sat down and thought about these things, I still couldn’t figure it out. I’ve only heard of cutting weeds and eradicating roots. I’ve never heard of tigers returning to the mountains and waiting for their cubs to grow up. of.

I thought about it for a long time and didn't understand what Ji Youjie meant, so I had to blow on the lamp and take off my shoes and go to bed.Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down under the quilt, he felt something soft beside him, exuding a warm breath.I was surprised, I thought Mrs. Ji's family had stuffed me with a big pillow under the bed, so I pinched it with my hands.

This touch is very good, smooth to the touch, and I was feeling good, when a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, I trembled with fright, and almost rolled off the bed—how could the pillow feel like this, hiding in the pillow There is a person in my bed, and it should be a woman from the touch!
Just when I was in a daze, the person in the bed also called softly, the voice was extremely clear, as sweet as the sound of ice cubes colliding on a June day.The woman said coquettishly, "Hey, you... why are you pinching me?"

It was a young girl from the voice, and she was very beautiful just from the voice.But there is a beautiful girl under the blanket in the house of the hostess. If someone sees her, she will not be able to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River.I was so startled that I hurriedly rolled off the bed, lit the lamp and looked at the bed again.

A girl with bright eyes and bright teeth on the bed was looking at me, a little bit shy, I was dumbfounded when I saw her here suddenly, because I knew this girl.Not only did we know each other, we slept in the same bed.It's just that I never expected to meet her again here, and in the same way.

She is "Xiuhong". When I was in Songxia Town, I was "caught in bed" because of her.When I came from Jiaoling Town, Bu Ying once said mysteriously that I had an old friend here, but he refused to say who it was.I didn't take it seriously at the time, I always thought that he was used to talking nonsense, and this was just another trick to deceive me.

But I didn't expect that I would meet "Xiuhong" here. Speaking of which, we met on the bed twice, but we can indeed be regarded as "old friends".But why did she appear in Ji's house?
The surprise on my face must have seemed a bit ridiculous, so "Xiu Hong" burst out laughing, covered her mouth and said, "Hey, are you scared?"

I swallowed hard, and stammered: "You... why are you here?"

"Guess," she blinked, looking very playful, "If you can guess it, I don't care about the pinch you just made. But if you can't, then I will scream. You said you were alone in the middle of the night, you sneaked into my room and even touched my bed, what are you going to do!"

I was so frightened that I lost my voice, and after a while, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to my mind, and I blurted out: "So you are a girl from Ji's family, isn't your name Ji Mingmei?"

During lunch at noon, the two wives of Ji's family talked to me, saying that Ji Mingmei, a dead girl, had a temper tantrum with Ji Youjie, and she didn't know to come back after going out. Now she said that this is her room, so she naturally It can only be Ji Mingmei.This room must belong to her, Mrs. Ji's family thought she was not at home, so she packed it up for me to sleep in, but she didn't know when she came home, and she came into the room quietly.

Now that I know who she is, it's really not good for a lonely man and a widow to live in the same room. I was about to go out when Ji Mingmei said to me seriously: "You are so smart."

I was about to say a few words of modesty when I heard her say: "I want to elope with you."

She said this resolutely, and I was dumbfounded when I heard it, and I swallowed those two modest words, almost choking myself to death...
