In this world, there are many dirty pickled things that are afraid to be exposed to the sun.
Therefore, people who do these things will seek a beautiful appearance for themselves, trying to use this layer of beauty to cover up the sin behind it.
However, those people may have forgotten that sin is always sin, and no matter how beautiful it is, it cannot change this essential difference.
When the bruised and swollen Kong Jian was in the eyes of everyone, he pushed open the secret door hidden in the belly of Maitreya Buddha in the backyard.
A darkroom beyond everyone's imagination was exposed to everyone's sight.
Xiao Han was stunned.
Su Dingfang was stunned.
Even Sora Mi was dumbfounded!
He had only inadvertently seen the eminent monks in the temple sneaking into this place before, so he naturally imagined that this place was a place where treasures were collected.
Who would have thought that there was no treasure at all here, only cells, and girls with disheveled clothes, pale faces, and dull eyes.
"It's over!" Sora Jian held on to the secret door and slid to the ground, trembling.
At this moment, he finally figured out something was wrong in the temple.
For example, why do we have to gather everyone together every night to do that insignificant homework in the front yard!
Why is it that every time I do my homework, there are always some big figures in the temple who are not there?
It turned out that in this land that seemed to be illuminated by the Buddha's light, there was such a sinful place hidden even he didn't know about.
"Fucking bald ass!"
"Damned beast!"
The roar in his ears gradually faded away, and the miserable howl seemed to become distant.
At the end, the frustrated Kong Jian realized that he was standing outside the temple without knowing it.
As for the "eminent monks" who used to be arrogant and domineering in the past, they have all been tied up in front of the temple door, with their bald heads hanging down, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead.
"what happened?"
Sora looked to the side blankly, only to find that the young man who wanted to donate the sesame oil money was looking coldly at the tied monk. Under the starlight, his dark eyes were particularly cold.
"You should feel lucky! Apart from being greedy for money, you haven't done anything harmful to the world, so you only suffer some physical pain!"
As if he noticed that Kong Jian was looking at him, Xiao Han turned his head slightly and smiled at him solemnly. His white teeth looked eerie and terrifying under the light of the surrounding torches.
Sora was so frightened by this smile that he looked away like an electric shock. Just as he was about to turn around and sneak away, he suddenly heard countless footsteps in the darkness, followed by faint crying and hoarse curses.
Somehow, after hearing the shouting and cursing, Kong Jian suddenly felt blessed and immediately tore off the monk's robes, leaving only a thin layer of lining spread out on his body.
"It's these fake monks who stole our daughter!"
"Kill these perverted monks!"
"Don't let anyone go!"
Almost as soon as Kong Jian took off his monk's clothes, the group of people on the road suddenly burst into a roar that reached the sky.
Then countless people rushed forward, like the tide in a river and sea, submerging those fake monks in the tide.
————
A fire broke out in the temple.
The soaring flames engulfed the exquisite palace and illuminated most of the night sky like daylight.
This fire was not lit by Xiao Han and others, but by the extremely angry Dunhuang people themselves.
In the past, Xiao Han hated setting fire, especially setting fire to his own things!
Because he always thought that it was only people who were guilty, not those emotionless buildings and wealth!
Just like Xiang Yu burning down Afang Palace, let’s not investigate whether this is true.
Because no matter how dissolute and immoral Qin II was, those exquisite palaces built with the painstaking efforts of craftsmen were always right.
Even if it cannot be given to poor people to live in, demolishing it and distributing the materials to the people is better than burning it in vain, right?
However, when facing this fire, Xiao Han finally understood: demolishing and burning are two completely different things!
The fire that was started not only burned away the wooden and clay sculptures, but also burned the burden that had been suppressed in the hearts of the people of Dunhuang for a long time to ashes!
And dismantling, no matter what, cannot achieve such an effect.
Xiao Han and the others left here while the fire was burning.
At this time, no one paid attention to the fate of those monks anymore. Maybe in a certain future year, someone would find clues about their existence in the scorched land.
The novice monk Kong Jian left with Xiao Han and the others.
After witnessing with his own eyes those novices who were just like him, but who actually did not do anything wrong, were recognized and then beaten until they vomited blood, he dared not leave the team more than three feet away even if he was beaten to death. When walking, follow them in small steps.
Xiao Han actually knew that Kong Jian was following him, but he didn't say anything about it. Only when he passed the county government office in the dark city, did he let Jia Yi lift him and force him into the county government office gate.
"Huh? Do you know the chief official of the county government here?"
When he saw the gate of the county government opening a hole to let Kong Jian in, and then quickly closing it, Su Dingfang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he caught up with Xiao Han in front of him and asked in a face-to-face manner.
"I don't know!" Facing Su Dingfang's questioning, Xiao Han simply shook his head in denial.
However, how could Su Dingfang, who was already suspicious, believe him?
Thinking back to tonight, when he was deceived by Xiao Han and ran to worship Buddha, and then got into an argument over the sound of drums, and finally went to the temple, a strong feeling of being plotted instantly rose up in Su Dingfang's heart .
"You did it on purpose!" Su Dingfang gritted his teeth and growled at Xiao Han.
"You are thinking too much!" Xiao Han glanced at Su Dingfang, and then immediately turned his attention elsewhere. But this look of guilty conscience confirmed Su Dingfang's guess!
"You actually tricked me!" Su Dingfang was almost going crazy. Although he didn't believe that Xiao Han had any bad intentions for him, the incident in front of him clearly meant that he had fallen into a trap!
"I don't!"
"Then you dare to say that I won't be unlucky about tonight's incident?!"
"Ahem, you may be unlucky for a while, but you won't be unlucky forever."
"...Xiao Han, I will go to your ancestors!"
"Go ahead, I also want to know where my ancestors are. If you can really find them, you can bring them back to me to get to know them."
Su Dingfang went completely crazy. He grabbed the thick-skinned beard and punched and kicked him as if he were Xiao Han. Xiao Han, who was watching from the sidelines, quickly moved back and stayed away from this madman.
"Hey, it's hard to be a good person these days..."
