NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 751 This is His Dharma
The skinny monk sat alone in the moonlight, holding the dark Buddha statue, tears constantly seeping from his bloodshot eyes.
Feng Gui asked, "City Lord, will this bald man die? If this monk is really killed by these people, then your trip will be in vain."
Jiang You raised his eyes and looked at the monk who was sitting cross-legged opposite him and was being scolded. The moonlight cast a huge shadow behind him. A breeze blew, and the poisonous mist floated. The shadow behind him seemed to have life. It began to grow and twist wildly, turning into a large messy and disordered tentacles, staring at everyone with a fierce look.
As if sensing the gaze from the opposite side, Zhuxie turned to look at Jiang You, a compassionate smile appearing on his face.
That mercy was also tinged with cunning in the shadows.
"Donor, the sea of suffering is endless and it is time to turn back..."
Jiang You, "Get lost."
With Jiang You leading the way, the journey was particularly smooth.
In just five days, they successfully arrived at the nest of the man-eating ants.
Jiang You helplessly spread his hands, "Master, this is the shortest way, I have no other choice."
The moment the group of people saw the giant man-eating ants, they were so frightened that they screamed one after another.
They fled in panic and rushed into the spawning area, crushing the gray-black eggs one by one. The sticky and slippery egg liquid flowed on the ground, making it impossible for them to stand steadily.
"What's going on? How could there be such a huge ant here?!"
"These are not ants at all, they are monsters!"
"It's that woman. She's the one who led the way. She's the one who brought us here!"
"Master, Master, help me!!!"
They screamed, and in this moment of despair they remembered the silent monk again.
The huge pliers cut through the thick fog and appeared ferociously in front of everyone. The monk holding the Buddha statue also appeared in front of everyone.
But as a small boy, he seemed to have no power to fight against these huge things.
Jiang You didn't watch what happened next. He just picked up some ant eggs and put them into the space, then waited in the distance.
Feng Gui asked her, "City Lord, what are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the big land lobster."
Seeing that Jiang You didn't answer the question, Feng Gui looked towards the other side of the thick fog with some concern.
I am increasingly confused by the city lord. He went through so much trouble to find the monk, but then he brought him into a nest of man-eating ants and trapped him to death.
Covered by thick fog, Feng Gui couldn't see what was happening on the other side.
But the screams coming from the other side continued to pierce the sky.
I don’t know how long it took, but cheers began to mix in with the screams.
Feng Gui heard someone shouting for help from afar.
After another half an hour, the noise gradually subsided.
Jiang You then stood up, threw the broken palm that she had been holding for a while back, and the broken palm crawled into the backpack by itself. She patted the non-existent dust on her knees and walked towards the crowd.
Feng Gui hurriedly followed.
He never dreamed that someone could be so injured and still survive.
No one would have thought that a tiny human being could kill so many giant man-eating ants by himself.
Amid the huge remains of man-eating ants on the ground, the monk's body was pitifully small, and his entire body seemed to have been torn into pieces by thousands of knives. His waist was directly cut off, and only a thin layer of skin was left connecting his upper and lower body.
Like a rag doll that had been torn apart by a pack of wild dogs.
But he is not dead yet, he is still alive.
On the other side, there were more than twenty survivors surrounding him.
The moment they saw Jiang You, they immediately said excitedly, "It was the master who saved us, he saved us, he is about to die, save her, save him quickly!"
"Wow, wow, wow, Master, it was all our fault before, wake up, wake up!"
"Lord Jiang, please save the master! He could have run away, but he was made into this state by the monster because of us!"
"..."
Faces crowded in front of Jiang You, and some people were crying while hugging Zhuxie's broken body.
They seemed to be moved by the monk's martyrdom and began to wake up.
Jiang You suddenly understood what the monk wanted to do?
She walked over, asked everyone to step aside, and then squatted down beside Zhuxie.
My heart felt heavy, as if something was pressing down on me and I couldn't breathe.
This damn monk, she thought he had sealed his evil ways long ago, but she didn't expect that he would go down this path again.
In the past, the Buddha cut off his flesh to feed eagles, so does he want to follow suit?
"So this is the Dharma you are looking for, Zhuxie. What do you want to prove? Do you want to prove that kindness can be born even in adversity?"
Zhuxie vomited blood in big mouthfuls, with a smile on his thin face, "Donor... you see... all living things are suffering... it is suffering that creates evil thoughts... but there are still seeds of light in our hearts... we can't be blinded by one leaf... Donor... you see..."
He glanced at the people who were crying bitterly, "… All living beings have good thoughts in their hearts, but they haven't taken root and sprouted because no one has dug up the mud. Donor… Look… They are now… laying down their butcher knives…"
At the cost of one's own life, one can gain the conscience of others.
Jiang You sneered, "So you indulge them to ask for whatever they want from you, and then use your own life to awaken their humanity. So this is how you save all living beings..."
Jiang You stood up and glanced at the faces around him that had tears in their eyes and full of regret.
Every word the master said struck everyone's heart, making them feel ashamed.
Before the end of the world, it was obvious that everyone was not like this. They would help each other and sympathize with the weak.
It's all because of this damn cannibalistic world that has turned people into this state step by step.
But after everyone had lost their humanity, this monk lit a candle and let everyone see the light...
"It's all our fault. The Master is a true living Buddha. We have failed him!"
"Woo woo woo, this is all our fault!"
"Master, I already know. Don't worry, I will do more good deeds in the rest of my life to atone for my sins."
"I used to do whatever it took to survive, but now I know how wrong I was. If I don't even have the most basic humanity, what's the point of living?"
"..."
They seemed to have a change of heart, and they all cried and confessed their past mistakes.
Jiang You lowered her head, and the relieved smile on Zhu Xie's lips deeply hurt her eyes.
Anger rarely rose in my heart.
It shouldn't be like this, how could it be like this?
this is not right!
She glanced at the people who were confessing, and suddenly thought of something, and a gleam of excitement appeared in her eyes.
"Zhu Xie, what do you want to prove?" She lowered her head and repeated her previous question.
"I have found my own Buddhist teachings, benefactor..." Blood kept flowing out of his mouth, but his eyes were full of light. Jiang You vaguely saw the moonlight penetrating the huge shadow and falling on him, coating him with a layer of Buddha's light.
It turned out that this was the Buddhist teaching he was looking for.
He stayed in Cedar Town not to save others, but to save himself...
He deceived her. This monk had never imagined leaving the foggy area...
