"Abbot Xuanci, you are finally willing to show up!"
As soon as Ding Chunqiu's words rang out, everyone looked at the respected Shaolin abbot in shock, thinking that Ye Erniang said that the child's father was not in the world, so he must be a monk.
An unbelievable idea emerged in everyone's mind, and the expressions on everyone's faces were also different.
Xuanci ignored Ding Chunqiu, but looked at Xu Zhu on the side and sighed: "How good! How good! After creating karma, there must be bad consequences. Xu Zhu, come here!"
Xu Zhu walked up to Xuan Ci and knelt down without knowing why.
Xuanci reached out and stroked the top of his head, and said with a kind expression: "You have been in the temple for twenty-four years, and I still didn't know that you were my son!"
As soon as these words came out, they were like a thunderbolt on a clear day, exploding in Xu Zhu's mind.
All the heroes were in an uproar, and after a loud uproar, they fell into a deathly silence.
Ye Erniang burst into tears and said: "You... why do you have to say it? I would rather be killed by him than... I don't want you to be criticized by the world!"
Xuanci looked at Ye Erniang and said in a gentle tone: "Er Niang, I have worked hard for you all these years!"
Ye Erniang cried: "What should we do...what should we do?"
Looking at the three people, all the heroes were immersed in shock and could not recover, but Ding Chunqiu sneered from the side: "Abbot Xuanci, dare I ask Ye Erniang about the numerous evil deeds she has committed in the martial arts in the past twenty years? did you know?"
Xuanci closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate and sighed: "The poor monk knows."
"As the abbot of Shaolin and the leader of the righteous path of martial arts, although you have violated the precepts of adultery, love between men and women is human nature and is not unforgivable. However, you allowed Ye Erniang to steal other people's children, play with them, and kill them cruelly. , Dare I ask Abbot Xuanci how he feels at peace?"
Ding Chunqiu's words made the faces of everyone who had been somewhat forgiving of Abbot Xuanci suddenly become heavy.
After all, although the murderer is hateful, the person who condones the murder is even more detestable. During this period, if Xuanci is willing to stand up and stop it, will Ye Erniang continue to do this kind of desolate behavior based on the relationship between the two? A matter of conscience?
It would be ridiculous to say that Xuanci had no knowledge of this matter. Who in the martial arts world knows about the reputation of the four evil men? How could Xuanci, as the abbot of Shaolin Temple, have not heard of it at all?
"The so-called Shaolin is just a place where filth and evil are hidden. It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!"
Seeing that Abbot Xuanci was speechless, Ding Chunqiu did not forget to add insult to injury and started mocking him.
And the heroes gradually began to talk about it, pointing fingers at Xuanci and the others.
"No, it's not like that, it's not like that!"
Xu Zhu was protected by the two of them. Seeing his biological parents who had been criticized by thousands of people, his whole body was greatly shocked. The Buddhist heart that he had cultivated with great concentration over the past twenty years also collapsed at this moment. , as if the whispers of these people were amplified ten thousand times in his mind, causing his head to split and his whole body to be on the verge of mental and emotional collapse.
"My child, my child, I'm sorry for you, my mother, I'm sorry for your father, it's all my fault!"
No matter how ruthless Ye Erniang is on weekdays, she is just a woman after all. After the last fig leaf was lifted, in addition to the endless regret and despair in her heart, her eyes were already filled with the will to die.
"It's not like that, it's not like that..."
Xu Zhu's eyes were empty and his expression was dull. He just kept repeating these words in his mouth, as if he was completely stupid.
"Child, I'm sorry for you..."
Ye Erniang looked at Xu Zhu's current appearance, tears began to blur her vision, and her heart ached. Under the horrified eyes of everyone, she suddenly picked up the knife in her hand and pierced Xu Zhu's chest and back directly. However, the tip of the knife pierced his heart, Xu Zhu's pupils dilated instantly, and then he fell into Ye Erniang's arms forever.
And Ye Erniang ended her life with a smile of relief.
This incident only happened in an instant. Xuanci was in deep self-blame and had no time to react, let alone save their mother and son.
Seeing Ye Erniang and Xu Zhu dying in front of him, Xuanci's spirit finally collapsed. Tears could not stop flowing from his eyes and he slowly fell to his knees.
"Amitabha!"
Xuanji, Xuannan, Xuansheng and others all had a trace of unbearability in their eyes, and silently lowered their heads and recited the Buddha's name.
The villain who killed other people's children eventually killed his own child in regret. This scene was a big shock to everyone, especially those who were already fathers and mothers. My heart trembled, and I felt a chill instantly spread to my whole body, my hands and feet were cold.
Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu were so frightened that one hugged their daughter tightly, and the other hugged their husband tightly, not daring to look at this cruel scene.
Although everyone knows that Ye Erniang deserves this punishment for the crime she committed, but after seeing her suffer this retribution, their human instinct will still make them sympathize. .
Xuan Ci looked at Ye Erniang and Xu Zhu hugging each other with gloomy eyes. His heart seemed to have been ruthlessly crushed. He wanted to reach out and touch them, but his trembling hands could not touch them. .
A sad and desolate atmosphere instantly enveloped everyone's hearts. After an unknown amount of time, Xuanci slowly stood up and said with no tears in his eyes: "Xuanci violated the Buddhist precepts and tarnished the reputation of Shaolin. If you voluntarily accept the penalty of two hundred rods, the law enforcement monk can carry out the punishment!"
Xuanji couldn't bear to say: "Senior brother, you..."
But before he could finish his words, Xuanci shouted coldly: "Law enforcement monk, torture!"
After saying that, he knelt on the ground and took off his cassock.
Xuanji closed his eyes and said in a slightly trembling tone: "Where is the law enforcement monk?"
"The disciple is here!"
I saw two monks holding precept sticks walking out with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Shaolin Xuanci, I will punish you with two hundred rods and torture!"
Xuanji said in a deep voice.
The two disciples came behind Xuanci and said, "Abbott, I'm offended." Then they raised their sticks and struck Xuanci on the back.
The two of them did not dare to bend the law for personal gain in the slightest, otherwise Shaolin, who was already ridiculed by the heroes, would be criticized even more, so each stick hit Xuanci firmly on the back.
Not long after, a large amount of blood oozed from the yellow clothes on Xuanci's back.
Xuanci clasped his hands together, blood dripping from his mouth, and kept kneeling, trying not to make a sound.
After hitting him with more than a hundred sticks in a row, blood had already soaked into Xuanci's body. Every time the stick was struck, blood spattered out, and the faces of the two law enforcement monks were covered with blood foam.
Seeing that they had hit the 197th and 198th sticks, and were about to finish the last two sticks, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves galloping like thunder, and a person in the distance shouted: "Leave someone under the stick!"
