Tick tock.
Inside the Imperial City Division dungeon.
The dark dungeon is full of moisture, and water droplets fall from time to time due to condensation of water vapor. The ticking sound can be heard far and wide in the dungeon.
The biting chill kept attacking the bodies of the prisoners in the dungeon at night, causing everyone to curl up and try to rely on the remaining body temperature to make themselves more comfortable...
Free people can curl up when they get cold, but those who are tied to a wooden frame can only suffer in silence despite the cold air.
"How's it going? Are you comfortable?"
The interrogation officer of the Imperial City Department, wrapped in thick clothes, laughed and asked Xuan An, who was tied to the wooden frame and shivering.
Xuan An, whose face was covered with dark red blood, slowly raised his frozen and white cheek, and weakly recited: "Amitabha..."
"snort!"
Fanzi sneered, turned around, picked up the bucket on the side and splashed it all on Xuan An!
The biting cold water was poured on his body, and Xuan An's face, which was already shivering from the cold, instantly turned pale.
Fanzi sneered and said: "Hey, you still know how cold it is! I thought that Master Xuan'an had been blessed by the Buddha a long time ago, and he had developed the six-foot-long golden body of that old man. He was not afraid of cold or heat, nor was he afraid of cold or heat. Woolen cloth.
how? Can’t stand such a bucket of water?
If you can't stand it, don't do what you shouldn't do!
Wouldn't it be better to be your abbot? He insisted on taking in the remnants of Tianlong Temple, but even dismissed the monks in the temple before the imperial court sent troops?
Do you really think that the imperial court is just a living thing? "
As the fanzi stall spoke, he waved his hand and ordered another fanzi next to him: "Bring people in!"
After getting the order, the fan immediately walked out. Not long after, the fan came in holding a chain with a thick arm. Behind the chain, he led more than a dozen people.
Under the instruction of the fanzi stall owner, these people who were led in by chains were lined up in a row by the fanzi and stood in front of Xuan An.
The fanzi stall stepped forward with a sinister smile, walked up to one of the fat young monks, pinched his chin with one hand, and turned to Xuan An, who was already stunned, and said:
"Look, do you know Abbot Xuan'an? Monk Guangzhi, it is said that he is your eldest disciple.
I heard that you originally planned to let him succeed you as abbot after your death. You didn't expect to meet here again, right? "
Guangzhi's chin was pinched, and he looked at the extremely miserable abbot master in front of him. Tears fell instantly from his face, and he shouted vaguely: "Abbott!"
Xuan An's heart trembled violently. He looked at the fan and asked with a trembling voice: "What do you want to do?"
The fanzi stall smiled and said: "Master Lu, the commander of the Tianwu Army's Third Army, said that you are a tough guy and asked me to entertain you well.
I've thought about it, you won't feel pain or regret if I start with you, so I thought of a clever idea!
Torture your disciples in front of you!
Originally, if you had not dismissed them, they would have died on Lingyun Temple that day and would not have suffered much torture.
But you dismissed them that day. Then the sins they are suffering now are all because of you.
Do you understand? "
Fanzi narrowed his eyes as he spoke, and with a sinister smile his expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Guangzhi's fat hand, and with the other hand he took out the dagger from his waist and clicked it!
Under the sharp edge of the dagger, Guangzhi's right hand was instantly cut off, and the bright red blood spurted out like a fountain. In an instant, the fanzi stall and the faces and bodies of Guangzhi and Xuanan were covered. spurted blood.
"Ah! My hand!"
An uncontrollable scream came from Guangzhi's mouth and spread far and wide in the dark dungeon. Many prisoners who had fallen asleep were frightened by the scream and woke up, with faces full of tears. He looked towards the direction of the sound in fear and trembled.
After licking the blood stained at the corner of his mouth, Fanzi pushed Guangzhi away, and Fanzi immediately took him away.
Fanzi turned around and looked at Xuan An who was stunned by the scene in front of him and said with a smile: "Master Xuan An, are you satisfied with my performance?
Don't worry, look here? "
As he said that, the fanzi stall pointed at the eighteen monks behind him and said with a smile: "There are still eighteen more. From now on, I will use one to perform for you every day, and I will ensure that you will not be bored."
These are either your disciples or novices who often serve you, or they are the monks in Lingyun Temple. You must be very familiar with them.
I'm sure you'll be excited to use them to perform for you! Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhuang Ruo, the head of Fanzi, laughed crazily. Xuan An's eyes when he looked at him finally changed from the previous indifference, and turned into suppressed anger, but the anger in his eyes was indeed concealed no matter what. Can't live.
“Almsgiver, you must know how to forgive others.
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. If you treat me like this today, one day you will receive the same retribution.
Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.
If you stop now, it's still too late! "
Fan Zi stall laughed even louder after hearing this.
"Hahaha! Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately? Do you want retribution? Hahaha! Ridiculous! Ridiculous!
Today these are your retributions, and I am your retribution!
Abbot Xuan'an, do you know how I entered the palace?
Before I entered the palace, my family was a tenant of Daguoan Temple. Everything was fine. But you greedy monks, during the natural disaster, you knew that we had no harvest and you still forced my parents to pay the rent, otherwise they would have to pay the rent. My mother was sold to Goulan, and my father was sunk into the Bian River to feed the fish!
In desperation, my parents had no choice but to sell me into the palace.
I have transformed from a complete man to the incomplete person I am today, all thanks to you monks!
But that's not all. Not long after I entered the palace, I received news that even though my parents gave the money from selling me to the Daxiangguo Temple to pay the rent, those monks still rushed to my house, killed my father, and took my mother away. I went to the Daxiangguo Temple. The reason turned out to be that a young man from an official's family fell in love with my mother and gave the Daxiangguo Temple a hundred taels of silver to help get my mother to him!
Ha ha ha ha! One hundred taels! One hundred taels! These thieves and monks ruined my family just for a hundred taels!
You have the nerve to tell me about retribution!
If there really is retribution in this world, you bald donkeys with human faces and animal hearts, who are kind on the outside but commit adultery and robbery behind the scenes, who have been away from home and returned thirteen times, should have received retribution long ago!
However, the fact is that Daxiangguo Temple is still the largest temple in Bianjing, and they have not received any retribution!
You bald donkeys are not afraid, so what do I have to be afraid of when I don’t even have a lifeblood? "
Xuan An was silent.
After a while, he said: "There are always some Buddhist scum in this world."
Fanzi sneered at the stall: "The world is as black as a bald donkey!"
