Seeing this, everyone in the Shen family gasped.
Before Liu Yingying could react, she saw a young monk in the center of the Discipline Hall reading loudly and solemnly: "Xuanjue, if you enter, you will be punished with thirty sticks!"
As soon as the young monk finished speaking, he saw a black figure swaying in front of the door of the Discipline Hall, and then slowly walked into the hall step by step with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that figure, the Shen family crowd instantly became excited, and Liu Yingying also opened her eyes slightly.
Uncle Xuanjue is... actually Shen Lang?
He turned out to be really... a monk?
Chapter 121
Liu Yingying didn't recover from the scene before her for a long time.
She had only vaguely heard that the eldest son of the Shen family was sent to live in a temple for several years when he was a child, but for some unknown reason, everyone in the Shen family had always been somewhat secretive about the eldest son of the Shen family.
But now I feel that it’s not just a few years.
In other words, what happened to her with a... monk?
With this thought, Liu Yingying's face suddenly swelled, and she felt even more ashamed, and she clenched her teeth for a while.
After seeing this scene, the crowd outside the Discipline Hall instantly became confused. Grand Master Shen, Shen Lang, was brutally beaten and punished with a stick in this temple?
This incident had a huge impact on everyone.
You know, that is the eldest son, uh, Shen eldest son Shen Lang is a heaven-like existence in the Shen family's old house. Not to mention physical punishment, even verbal contradictions are absolutely unacceptable. Yes, let's put it this way, no one in the whole house dared to blaspheme him in the slightest except for the Qinghe Princess. Even the old lady and the eldest master were "submissive" and "extremely polite" in front of Prince Shen. Does anyone dare to punish him?
Therefore, the scene in front of them made everyone stunned.
Liu Yingying was also a little surprised. She didn't know what the crime was committed by this person named Shen. After all, that iceberg face didn't look like a face that committed a crime. Even if he really committed a crime, who would dare to take care of him? Go up?
Unexpectedly, on the second day after arriving at Hanshan Temple, I would see such a good show.
After approaching with the idea of watching a show, he saw three or four monks kneeling outside the Discipline Hall waiting to be punished. In the Discipline Hall, Shen Lang walked straight to the Buddha statue. After a while, he saw him calmly in front of the people. He took off his clothes and slowly raised his hands to take off the black robe he was wearing.
Seeing the other party taking off his clothes, the faces of many girls outside the door suddenly became hot, and they all lowered their eyes to avoid him. However, after a moment, they couldn't help but blushed and looked up secretly.
I saw that stalwart and majestic man folding his robe and placing it on the desk beside him. Then he slightly raised his chin. When his fingers reached the collar, he touched the collar button. At that moment, I saw that cold and majestic side face tilted slightly, as if looking out of the corner of my eye, then stopped, and slowly knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha statue wearing a silk lining. , and said lightly to the young monk in front of him: "Let's get started."
The monk looked at Shen Lang who was wearing clothes, hesitated for a moment, and reminded in a low voice: "Uncle Master, you will be punished for dressing, and the wound will be..."
Before the words were finished, Shen Lang interrupted lightly: "Let's begin."
With the sharp tone, the monk concentrated for a moment. After quietly exhaling a breath, he could only say to the junior brother who was pointing the stick on one side: "Execution!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and thick monk on the side raised his stick and was about to hit Shen Lang's back with the stick. Just as he was about to swing down the stick, Shen Yuechan outside the door suddenly summoned up the courage to rush forward. Someone shouted loudly in the hall: "Stop, my eldest brother has already returned to secular life, why do you punish him?"
After a pause, Shen Yuechan gritted his teeth and said, "Brother has always been strict with himself, how could he break the precept? You... you must have made a mistake, right?"
Shen Yue clenched the handkerchief tightly and shouted with a pale face.
The monk who was carried out just now couldn't bear it anymore after only receiving twenty sticks. He fainted directly. Thirty sticks, and the person holding the stick was still such a big and thick man. If these thirty sticks were used, Once down, people will be beaten to death.
Shen Yuechan and others have always been pampered, but they have never seen such bloody scenes. When they saw Shen Lang being tortured, they couldn't help but stop them.
As soon as Shen Yuechan finished speaking, he saw Mi Ya'er on the side covering her chest slightly and saying, "I wonder what kind of precept my cousin broke?"
When the two of them said this together, the monk holding the stick suddenly stopped, and his hesitant eyes instantly glanced at the monk in charge.
At this time, the Shen family crowd also began to agree, saying: "That's right, thirty sticks will kill someone."
"My eldest brother has banned alcohol and food in the Shen family. He has always been strict with himself in the Shen family. How could he break the rules? Even if he is punished, there should be a reasonable reason."
There were so many girls, and they were talking to each other, and instantly the outside of the Discipline Hall became noisy.
The monk in charge looked at the noisy scene outside, frowned, and cautiously glanced at the awe-inspiring figure on the futon. When he touched those cold eyes, he immediately put them away the next moment. After hesitating, he acted solemnly and said to the noisy crowd outside the hall: "This is an internal matter of this temple. Female benefactors, please go back. Please do not disturb the execution of the internal affairs of this temple." .”
However, Shen Yuechan continued to question and obstruct her, until a majestic voice came from the Discipline Hall: "Chan'er——"
The voice was cold and majestic.
Just two words, but they seem to convey supreme majesty.
As soon as this voice sounded, there was an instant silence outside the Discipline Hall.
Shen Yuechan pursed her lips and immediately became angry but dared not speak.
At this time, the monk in charge nodded towards the executing monk, and the executing monk swung his wooden stick and hit the straight and majestic back with his stick.
When the stick went down, all the female relatives outside the hall closed their eyes one after another, and their faces instantly turned pale with fear.
There was complete silence in the air, except for the dull sound of sticks and canes hitting the iron bones.
One stick after another, stick to flesh, stick to bone.
After more than ten sticks, I saw light red marks overflowing from the silk-white back. The red marks gradually expanded from dot to surface.
Seeing this, Shen Yuechan and Mi Ya'er hugged each other, and their eyes gradually turned red.
Even Liu Yingying looked at it from a distance and slowly lowered her eyes. Her eyebrows gradually furrowed and she couldn't bear to look directly.
However, the figure still knelt there motionless, with a straight posture and a strong body, like an unmoving green mountain. There was no sign of shaking, and it actually suffered for a full thirty years. The whole process of the cane punishment was done without saying a word or making even a single sound.
After the last stick fell, the back was covered with red marks, and the white underwear even stuck to the skin, making it look horrifying for no reason.
During the entire punishment period, there was silence outside the commandment hall, without a single sound.
Until I don’t know how much time passed, in the silence, I suddenly saw Yao Yulan turning her face and glancing in the direction of Liu Yingying behind her. After a while, I saw Yao Yulan suddenly waving towards the little monk next to Liu Yingying. He asked in a low voice: "My little master, do you know what precepts the eldest son broke that warranted this punishment?"
Xiao Min Seng suddenly looked wary and replied: "This, Xiao Monk... Xiao Monk doesn't know."
Xiao Minseng scratched his bald head, as if he was really confused by the question.
Yao Yulan thought for a while, then asked in a different way: "Then what are the precepts in your temple? How will you be punished if you break the precepts?"
The little monk seemed to know this question, and blurted out without hesitation: "There are five precepts in Buddhism, which are: one, not to kill, two, not to steal, three, not to engage in sexual misconduct, four, not to lie, and five not to lie. If you drink alcohol in our temple, you will be beaten with fifty sticks for killing, and you will be kicked out of the master's door; for stealing and cheating, you will be beaten with thirty sticks; for talking nonsense and drinking alcohol, you will be beaten with twenty sticks."
The little monk was lying backwards.
Yao Yulan was stunned for a long time, then she bent down and hugged the young monk's shoulders and said: "Today, Grand Master Shen received a penalty of thirty with the cane, which means that he violated the second or third precepts in the temple. ?”
Yao Yulan pursed her lips and asked.
Xiao Minseng was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reacted and immediately clasped his hands together and said nervously: "Little monk... I don't know, little monk... I don't dare to speak ill of my teacher."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little monk immediately turned pale, closed his eyes tightly, and hurriedly chanted "Amitabha" in his mouth.
Because the crowd was very quiet, Yao Yulan lowered her voice when she asked this question, but her conversation with Xiao Min Seng still fell clearly into the ears of half of the people.
The moment the two of them finished speaking, half of the people in the crowd looked in their direction.
Liu Yingying suddenly looked stunned after hearing this conversation. The next moment, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the person who had been punished in the hall.
The crime of stealing or prostitution?
It is impossible for Shen Lang to commit the crime of theft.
Is that person named Shen being punished today for the crime of prostitution and promiscuity? Could it be that...could it be that he violated the lust and caution by hanging out with her?
The moment this idea appeared in Liu Yingying's mind, she was confused.
It was at this moment that I suddenly remembered something. Last time at the old lady’s birthday banquet, Zheng Xueyun seemed to have casually mentioned that he had met Mr. Shen at Hanshan Temple. He seemed to have come out of the Discipline Hall. Come on, it seems like you have been punished.
At that time, Liu Yingying had no reaction after hearing this. Now that she thought about it carefully, if she was punished that time, it seemed that it happened to be after the two of them had fun. Therefore, every time the person named Shen had sex with her, what happened? Later, they all came to the temple to receive their punishment?
Ah, this, what is he... planning for?
This thought made Liu Yingying unbelievable and dumbfounded at the same time. Just when she slightly covered her heart and felt dumbfounded, she suddenly noticed two eyes directed towards her face. When Liu Yingying raised her head, she saw Su Ziqing and Mi Ya'er turned their heads and looked in her direction at the same time.
Su Ziqing's eyes were as sharp and powerful as ever, and his cold eyes were cast on Liu Yingying's face, as if he could see into the depths of Liu Yingying's heart at a glance.
Mi Yaer, on the other hand, stared at her with a heavy gaze, motionless, with a deep expression on her beautiful face.
Liu Yingying looked startled.
At this time, in the Discipline Hall, Shen Lang stood up straight away. He didn't take into account the mud behind him at this moment, and directly put on the black robe again and lightly. After dressing neatly, he walked from there with his hands behind his back. He stepped out of the hall.
Except for his face being a little lighter, he looked the same as usual.
When he came out, his cold eyes raised slightly and happened to meet the eyes of Liu Yingying at the end of the crowd.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
Shen Lang pursed his lips, and then said to everyone: "Let's disperse."
After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.
Shen Yuechan was worried and immediately followed her. After walking two steps and seeing Mi Ya'er still standing there, he immediately turned around and gave her a hand.
As soon as Shen Yuechan left, most of the crowd dispersed.
When Liu Yingying turned around, she saw Shen Ye holding a fan and looking at her from a distance under a centuries-old bodhi tree in the distance. He didn't say anything, just stared at her.
There was no smile in his eyes, which was far different from the wild and romantic look in the past.
Liu Yingying paused for a moment, then——
"Miss Liu."
Just as Liu Yingying was about to take a step, a chuckle suddenly came from behind her.
Liu Yingying tilted her head and saw Zheng Xueyun approaching with a smile. When she turned her head again, she had disappeared under the bodhi tree.
Chapter 122
That night.
The lights in the temple were turned off early, and they were turned off soon after dinner. In addition to a few permanent lights left in the main hall, there were also a few scattered lights on in the guest rooms in the backyard. When the last light in the other courtyard was turned off, Later, Liu Yingying gently pushed out the door holding a lantern.
The temperature on the mountain dropped sharply, and Liu Yingying subconsciously raised her shoulders and covered her head with the brim of the cloak behind her, completely covering her entire face.
I don't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the night was so quiet and strange, like the last undercurrent before dawn, with some kind of dangerous atmosphere about to happen.
She walked lightly, looking in all directions and listening in all directions. When Rao left the backyard and came to the dense forest in the back mountain, she suddenly heard footsteps following her from a distance.
