Chapter 98 The Ugly Slave (7)

"No." Xin Shouyi replied, the master was obsessed with craftsmanship during his lifetime, and the monk's house was actually built in his spare time.The entire monastery is a cylinder, and there is a large turntable at the bottom, which can reverse the direction of the monastery at any time.Those different flower trees just appeared when the monastery was facing in different directions.As for the monk's dormitory, it will be raised one floor out of thin air, because there is another floor under the ground, which can be raised with the help of mechanisms.

The abbot monk never lived in the mountains, so he must have spent all his energy on these strange and obscene things.All the doubts in my heart were answered, so I asked again: "Since Xin Ruyi burned Mount Sumeru Temple back then, why did you survive?"

"When he killed Master, I happened to wake up to see him at night, and I was knocked unconscious by him. I was only ten years old at that time, and I respected him since he came to the temple. They dragged me out of the monastery, so I was spared, and later I happened to meet a few people who entered the mountain and were rescued by them."

This whole thing is really weird to the extreme. Originally, it took a lot of time and effort to find out the truth. I also made such preparations, but who knew that the case was closed so easily in the end.He could have fled away after killing someone, but he stayed here and prepared to surrender himself, so what he said is probably credible.

To be honest, Xin Ruyi's actions were really excessive, but killing people for life is the same principle since ancient times.Since Xin Shouyi killed someone, even if the circumstances were justifiable, he could not escape the punishment of the law.I said this to Xin Shouyi, and was about to take him back with Ji Youjie, but Xin Shouyi had a strange expression when he heard my words, and said slowly: "I didn't kill Xin Ruyi."

Ji Youjie and I were shocked at the same time when we heard the words, he confessed everything, but in the end he didn't admit to murder?
"Originally, I came all the way to quench the desire in my heart—the desire to kill him." Xin Shou said, "But in the end, I didn't do it."

"You didn't do anything?" I asked, half-believing in my heart.

"Did you know that Xin Ruyi put a mustard seed in front of the ruins after setting fire to the Mishan Temple?"

I have seen this on the murals in the Xinjia Meditation Hall.In Xin Fuzhen's narration, after Xin Ruyi and Mount Sumeru Temple disappeared together, a mustard seed was left on the ruins.It is precisely because of this that we have the illusion that there is another world in the mustard.

"Is there any special meaning to this mustard seed?" I asked him.

"No," Xin Shouyi replied, "but it is a consolation. Xin Ruyi put a mustard seed in front of the ruins to comfort himself that Mount Sumeru returned to the mustard seed instead of being burned by him. This is what he personally confirmed. I said."

Ji Youjie and I were dumbfounded when we heard that, since Xin Ruyi found such a ridiculous comfort for himself, it is really unknown whether he has regretted it all these years.

"After he killed Master with a candlestick, he took that candlestick away. When he came to see me in the monastery, he also brought the candlestick." Xin Shouyi opened a cabinet in the monk's house and took the candlestick out of it.The iron tip of the candlestick was dark red, and it was unknown whether it was infected by candle tears or blood. "He handed me the candlestick without saying a word, neither confessing nor arguing, and with a calm face."

Xin Ruyi smashed the master to death with a candlestick, but kept the murder weapon with him all the time, what was going on in his mind?What was his state of mind when facing Xin Shouyi?I thought about it secretly in my heart, but I couldn't understand it.

"At that moment, as long as I raised the candlestick in my hand, I could smash him to death in front of me just like he smashed to death Master." Xin Shou said, "But at the moment when I raised the candlestick, my heart suddenly felt empty. I don’t know if I should smash it down. If I smash it, what happens after I smash him to death? If I don’t smash it, will this hatred that has bitten me for 20 years continue to bite me for 20 years?”

"So in the end, you decided not to smash it?"

"I can't make a decision," Xin Shou said, "so I went out of the room and went to find the abbot monk here. If the master is alive, he is about the same age as him. I asked him whether I should do this. It should be smashed down."

Both Ji Youjie and I suddenly realized that it was the abbot monk here who finally stopped him, but we don't know what excuses he used.

"The abbot monk said that he let you decide whether to smash it or not, but you know that there is regret in your heart. Over the years, you have been bitten by hatred all the time, but he has been bitten by regret all the time. If you hit it this time , the fire of hatred in your heart can be extinguished, but the fire of regret has been ignited since then. He has tortured you for 20 years, will you be tortured by him again for the next 20 years?"

The abbot monk looked drowsy, but the words he said made people wake up from a dream. He really had great wisdom, and I couldn't help but feel admiration.

"After hearing what the abbot monk said, I was really terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. Although I didn't want to kill him again, I didn't want to see him again, so I asked the abbot monk to go to my room and tell him to let him go. Let’s ask him to change his name from now on, so he doesn’t need to be called Xin Ruyi anymore. I will also change my name from now on, not to be called Xin Shouyi, and the two of us will have nothing to do with Mount Sumeru Temple.”

In fact, he still couldn't let it go, and I thought to myself, that's why I asked Xin Ruyi to change his name, and I will also return to the vulgar.Because only when both of them broke away from Mount Sumeru Temple, could he persuade himself to let go of this hatred.In fact, Mount Sumeru Temple has become a demon in his heart.

"Since you didn't kill Xin Ruyi, why did he die?" As I spoke, I suddenly remembered that, according to what Xin Shouyi said just now, it seemed that everything happened in this monk's house, so I hurriedly asked him, "What is the reason for all this?" Did it happen here? When you first met Xin Fuzhen, did you ever create an illusion of Mount Sumeru Temple and tell her about Xin Ruyi on yourself?"

Xin Shouyi shook his head, "I went to check in front of her house, and I recognized her as his daughter. So when Xin Fuzhen came to burn incense in the temple, I found a chance to meet her and told her what happened back then. Ask her to go home and tell Xin Ruyi to come and see her in the monastery."

"You just told her the matter in a straightforward manner, without any mystery?"

"This matter has nothing to do with others. Even when I wanted to kill him the most, I never thought of breaking into Xin's house. At that time, I thought to myself, if he comes to see me in the temple, I will break this matter with him ; If he refuses to come, I will wait until he is alone, and I will kill him, or he will kill me, and it will be the end."

He spoke calmly, but the more I listened, the colder my back became.Because if this is the case, then what Xin Fuzhen said is fabricated from beginning to end, and Qian Bo and Yu Ma are also full of lies.Xin Shouyi did not create the illusion of Mount Sumeru Temple at all, so where did they see Mount Sumeru Temple?
If Xin Shouyi wasn't lying, then everyone in the Xin family was lying.And if Xin Shouyi didn't kill Xin Ruyi, then who killed Xin Ruyi?
Ji Youjie and I had already guessed about this situation, but we didn't dare to think about it.At this time, this possibility is getting bigger and bigger. We looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.I swallowed, and said: "You didn't kill Xin Ruyi, but he died, so you came to me last night to talk about this, didn't you?"

Xin Shou nodded.I took a deep breath and said, "So you know who the murderer is, don't you?"

"I didn't see anyone murder." Xin Shoudao, after he left the monk's house and talked with the abbot monk, he asked the abbot monk to tell Xin Ruyi to let him leave.Not long after Xin Ruyi left, Qian Bo suddenly went to the monk's house to look for him again, and said that since Xin Ruyi was dead, he asked him to leave Meihua Town as soon as possible.

Originally, he was really planning to leave, but when Xin Ru died, Qian Bo came to urge him to leave.If he left right now, wouldn't he really be a murderer, so he stayed again.He went to Xin's house yesterday and wanted to ask how Xin Ruyi died, but the Xin family insisted that he killed him.

However, Xin Ruyi obviously left Yunmen Temple alive, so this matter suddenly became strange.Since he couldn't get the truth from the Xin family, he sneaked into the Xin family by himself to see if he could find out what was going on.As a result, after he entered Xin's house, he found Xin Ruyi's dead body outside the window of a meditation hall, and the candlestick was next to the dead body.

And at this moment, Mama Yu brought me and Ji Youjie to the meditation hall.He heard us say that Xin Ruyi was burning incense on a mustard seed outside the window, so he knocked on the window to lead us out, and jumped in from the window himself, wanting to see what Xin Ruyi wanted to set up this meditation hall.

Then he saw those murals in the meditation hall, and saw that after Xin Ruyi left Mount Sumeru Temple, he burned his scars with incense sticks every day like him. Obviously, these years have been painful and unbearable.He thought of the three people in Mount Sumeru Temple, his master died tragically, and his two senior brothers were also suffering day by day, he couldn't help crying bitterly.

At this time, I found him in the meditation hall. He thought that he was using Xin Ruyi's dead body to attract attention, and he was holding a murderous candlestick in his hand. He would definitely be regarded as the murderer.After leaving Xin's house, he settled down and thought about it carefully, and felt that he should not escape anyway.

Later, when I came out of Xin's house and walked all the way to the town hall, he followed him, stopped me, and was about to talk about it, when I was knocked down from behind.

He was right with what had happened before, so I asked him, "Did you see who knocked me down?"

Xin Shou said, "It's Mama Yu. She begged me after she knocked you down, and begged me to leave Plum Blossom Town as soon as possible. I couldn't get enough of her begging, so I turned around and left, thinking that I would look for you when she wasn't around."

Sure enough, it was Mama Yu. We had guessed this before. It seems that she did it on purpose when she brought us into the Xin Family Meditation Hall.It’s just that after Xin Shouyi left, she somehow created the illusion of Mount Sumeru Temple for me to see.Xin Shou didn't know what happened next, so I told him and asked him if he knew how the illusion was created.

"It is absolutely impossible to build a temple in a hurry and let it come and go without a trace." Xin Shou said, "But I don't know the specific tricks in it."

Only then did Ji Youjie and I understand the whole matter. Xin Shouyi did not attack Xin Ruyi, but the three members of the Xin family took this opportunity to kill Xin Ruyi, and then put the blame on Xin Shouyi. .He had come here to seek revenge on Xin Ruyi, if he had left at that time, it would be hard to argue.

"We already understand what you said, but the family's words cannot be trusted, and we have to ask you to go back with us to verify." Ji Youjie said, "If it is true in the end, you will naturally let you go."

Xin Shou clasped his hands together, stood up and prepared to leave Yunmen Temple with us.Ji Youjie and I took the candlestick, walked out of the monastery together with him, and went to the main hall to find the abbot monk before we left.Ji Youjie asked him to verify Xin Shouyi's statement, and after learning that he was indeed the one who released Xin Shouyi, he went to the monk's house to ask Xin Ruyi to leave.

He persuaded Xin Shouyi's murderous intentions, which I admire very much in my heart. The inexplicable sentence "burn incense and rejoice, each according to his heart", sounds full of great wisdom at this moment.Xin Shouyi thanked him for his care these days, and walked out of the hall with us.

The moment he walked out of the hall, the abbot monk suddenly opened his drowsy eyes and said, "Xin Shouyi, has the lust in your heart gone?"

Xin Shou turned his head around, put his palms together and said, "It's all thanks to Master's explanation."

"I can only persuade you not to kill people, but I can't relieve you. The fire of revenge in your heart is not extinguished because of my persuasion, but because of Xin Ruyi's death, right?"

Xin Shouyi was silent for a while, and then said: "Thinking about it now, I didn't hit it at that time. If Xin Ruyi didn't die later, I will regret it soon."

"Ah." The abbot monk sighed, "This is the horror of desire. Whatever it is born for, it can only be destroyed because of it. Ugly slave, you go."

It turned out that Chou Nuer's statement came from him, I thought to myself, and together with Xin Shouyi saluted him, then turned and left Yunmen Temple.
