Cloth bag monk

Chapter 13

"Brother, where is this? Why is it dawn?"

Chunfa tightly grasped Guanghui's arm in fear, Guanghui took a long breath and forced himself to smile, "Don't be afraid! This is the future world in the bag."

Chunfa immediately calmed down, and looked around curiously, "It's really fun, it's exactly the same as the real thing! Over there is the main altar of the Penglai Immortal Sect. Why are there so many people? Let's go and have a look!"

Chunfa dragged Guanghui to watch the excitement, Guanghui felt like a knife was twisting his heart.

The open space outside the main altar of Penglai Immortal Sect is full of people, and even the nearby alleys are also full. It can be said that except for this area, almost all other places in Fucheng are empty.Chunfa stood outside the crowd, looked back at Guanghui, and said with a bitter face, "I can't see anything."

Guanghui took his hand and walked in, passing through the crowd, Chunfa's eyes widened in surprise, Guanghui said, "This is the future, we don't exist, so they can't see us, and they can't hear us." us."

Chunfa said happily, "It's so fun! My God, that's me! And Brother Liao! Brother, you're here too!"

Guanghui thought for a moment, the decision really changed the future, he wasn't there last time!

Chunfa went all the way to his side and looked him up and down. He was a little embarrassed but also giggled amusedly, "Brother, I don't look ugly like this! Every time I look in the mirror, I feel embarrassed. Overall, it's okay." !"

As always, Chunfa didn't have any scheming and defenses, he would be happy easily, Guanghui felt pain in his heart, why did he destroy everything with his own hands?So cruel!

The future Chunfa is expressionless, but the current Chunfa is very interesting, while Liao Yongsheng is reading:

"The sky has no way, the emperor is stupid;

Penglai Xianjiao rises from the sky;

The four seas respond, the mighty thunderbolt;

Change the dynasty, and the people will be safe and healthy! "

The smile on Chunfa's face gradually froze, and he began to realize the content of this declaration. An expression of panic, bewilderment, fear, and disbelief flashed on his face, and he looked back at Guanghui as if asking for help. There was an explosion, and thick black smoke rose from the direction of the prefect's yamen, and then there was an explosion from the direction of the General Military Mansion.

Chunfa flew towards Guanghui, with doubts in his eyes, Guanghui raised his chin forward to signal, Chunfa turned his head, the two were no longer in the place just now, they grew up in Fucheng, it can be seen that this is a certain road in Fucheng In the streets and alleys, I saw flames everywhere. Officers, soldiers and civilians were fighting in the streets. There were dead and injured crying everywhere. Chunfa's face was pale and panicked. I saw dense warships on the sea, with battle flags fluttering—it was the navy along the coast of Fujian! I heard the rumble of cannons, and the shells fell on the water and land along the coast, blasting water and dust, corpses littered the fields, and blood flowed into rivers .

Chunfa closed his eyes and covered his ears and shouted, grabbing the two of them with great force and throwing them out.

Guanghui protects Chunfa and rolls out of the cloth bag, Chunfa curls up in his arms with cold hands and feet, trembling, unable to speak or move for a long time, Guanghui can't find words to comfort him, any words are pale.

After a long while, Chunfa said with a trembling voice, "Brother, are those just now true?"

Guanghui nodded.

"Why would I do this? I don't believe it!" Chunfa buried his face in his arms, suppressing his voice and crying.

"You are just a puppet." Guanghui stroked Chunfa's shoulder and sighed.

"But my brother said that the believers recognize me." Chunfa sat up abruptly, "If I didn't say anything at that time, wouldn't it be a tacit consent, and I caused everything?"

Guanghui was silent, and Chunfa read the answer from his silence.

"I'll go find Big Brother Liao!"

Chunfa was wearing shoes, and pushed the door out regardless of the night. The light was not obstructed, and he sat cross-legged, clasped his hands tremblingly, and recited scriptures in a low voice.

Liao Yongsheng hadn't slept yet. He heard that Chunfa came late at night. He asked his servants to take Chunfa to his bedroom. He glanced at the military map in his hand, rolled it up and put it aside, and reached out to feel the temperature of the kettle. He took a clean cup and poured a cup, just as Chunfa came in, he said with a smile, "What's the matter for coming so late?"

Chunfa said angrily, "Brother Liao, are you planning to rebel?"

The smile on Liao Yongsheng's face gradually faded, "How do you know?"

Chunfa remained silent, "Oh, it was Chen Guanghui who told you, right? He is indeed the number one talented scholar in Fucheng, and he knows such secret things."

"Then it's true!" Chunfa's voice trembled.

"Chunfa, I'm almost ready for the big event, and I'm planning to talk to you one day," Liao Yongsheng said kindly, "Come on, sit down, and drink a glass of water." He sat down and put the water he just poured on the side table On the table.

"Brother Liao, how could you do this? It's still too late, stop now!"

"Why can't I?" Liao Yongsheng lowered his face and stood up slowly.In the first battle in Chunfa, since he met Liao Yongsheng, this was the first time he realized that he didn't know Liao Yongsheng, this man who had always been good to him, was the king of life and death in a world he couldn't imagine.

"Chunfa, your father is a good and honest official. That dog emperor is unwilling to send troops to protect the people and let you take the blame. Shouldn't this kind of emperor be overthrown?"

Chunfa muttered, "Could it be for me?"

"Yes!" Liao Yongsheng didn't want to deny it.

"Brother Liao, you really don't have to do this, I'm having a great time now!"

"Do you want to hide under the skin of the Penglai Great Immortal for the rest of your life without seeing the light? You have to dress up as a beggar every day to report, and then come back and put on an hour to change your makeup. A family lives in such a dilapidated house. Is such a life human? "

"I really don't care. A lot of people will die in a war."

"Chunfa, how many years will such a fatuous court not die unjustly and starve to death? So what if we die a few people this time? Isn't it worthwhile to overthrow the dog emperor and give the people real stability and happiness?"

"Some people are human too. Those people joined the religion because they believed that the Great Immortal of Penglai would bless them. In short, I will not cooperate with you! I, I, I will never be the Great Immortal of Penglai again!" Chunfa poked his neck explain.

Liao Yongsheng stared at him with fiery eyes, Chunfa couldn't help avoiding his eyes, Liao Yongsheng shouted, "Come here!"

Chun shuddered, thinking that Liao Yongsheng asked someone to do something to him, but Liao Yongsheng ordered,

"Catch Chen Guanghui and lock him up early tomorrow morning. Don't disturb Jin Yong and his wife!"

"Yes!"

Chunfa panicked, "What are you going to do?"

"Two days after the incident, if you want Chen Guanghui to live, just be obedient!" Liao Yongsheng grabbed Chunfa's wrist, and Chunfa subconsciously dodged back, but his wrist was firmly clamped, "You stay here, one step Don't even think about leaving!"

☆, final chapter

Guanghui saw Liao Yongsheng and laughed.

"why are you laughing"

"Three years ago, you were a prisoner, but now it's me. Feng Shui really takes turns!"

"Are you reminding me of your kindness in saving my life back then?"

Guanghui raised his hand, "It doesn't mean that!"

"I didn't intend to hurt you."

Guanghui spread his hands to the side, "Yes, you entertained me with wine and meat!"

A large table of wine and dishes on the table remained untouched.

"are you not hungry?"

"I'm a monk, if you give me meat, how can I eat it?"

"That depends on whether you choose to starve to death or return to vulgarity."

"Oh, so you want to force me to return to vulgarity, why?"

"Chunfa doesn't like you being a monk. Chen Guanghui, you are so smart. We are about to revolt. If you come as a military adviser, we will be invincible. When things are done, let Chunfa be the emperor. We will protect him with every piece of paper and military force." !"

"Is this really what Chunfa wants?"

"He would rather be hungry than steal other people's sweet potatoes, you know?" Liao Yongsheng became excited, "Should such a good person be a beggar all his life? What did he do wrong? What about you? You wiped out One Piece without bloodshed, you What did you do wrong again? What happened to you in the end? Your father is the richest man in Fucheng. In order to save you, his family wealth was wiped out. Did the dog officials who took your money save you? In the end they died in despair, are you willing?"

Guanghui lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Chen Guanghui, in this country, a kind person like Chunfa should be allowed to sit here. We can create a beautiful world together!" Liao Yonghui thought that he was moved when he saw that he didn't refute, "You should persuade Chunfa well, he listens to you the most. It's over!"

Guanghui sat cross-legged on the floor of the room, the food remained untouched.

The door lock sounded, the door opened, Chunfa came in, sat down in front of Guanghui, listless.

"Brother..."

"Afa, you are here!"

"I've hurt you, I shouldn't be so impulsive! Brother Liao is doing it for me, but I don't want him to do it! Brother, teach me, what should I do?"

"Ah Fa, I can't teach you. You have to make this decision yourself. There is only one thing I want to tell you. Don't worry about me. Even if you die for yourself, it's worth it!"

Chunfa stretched out his hands and held Guanghui's hands, with tears in his eyes, "Brother, can you still be my brother in the next life?"

Guanghui nodded with a smile, "Okay!" The smile was clearly complicated.

Chun sent out, the door was locked again, Guanghui stared at the direction he left for a long time, and sighed softly.

"Budai, Budai, I have already made a choice, can you tell me in the next life, can I and Ah Fa meet again?"

Liao Yongsheng was high-spirited and very happy, and his voice was louder than usual, "Chen Guanghui, you are the best! I persuaded Chunfa with a few words, and I asked someone to prepare a set of clothes for you. Try it out and see if it fits you. You can wear it tomorrow." It attends the swearing-in meeting."

"I'm fine!" Guanghui said lightly.

Liao Yongsheng was in a good mood and didn't care about him. He looked up and down at his monk's robe and said, "That's good. There are both immortals and Buddhas, which shows that we are teachers of morality! Don't you want to eat meat? It doesn't matter, Yao Guangxiao is also a monk." , I'll get someone to prepare vegetarian dishes for you!" After speaking, he strode away, the door was unlocked this time, but there were still two people guarding the door.

Outside the main altar of Penglai Immortal Sect, there was a sea of ​​people, exactly the same as what the two brothers saw in the cloth bag.

Chunfa pretends to be the Great Immortal of Penglai, with an expressionless face.

Liao Yongsheng unfolded the manifesto and was about to read it when Chunfa raised his hand, "Wait a minute, I have something to say."

Liao Yongsheng felt bad, and said in a low voice threateningly, "Daxian, let's perform the ceremony first, Budai monk is still watching!"

With a wink, Yamamoto and another subordinate immediately held Guanghui one by one.

Chunfa looked at Guanghui, and Guanghui smiled at him. Chunfa mustered up his courage, stepped forward and said loudly, "Believers, listen to my order now and arrest the Japanese pirates!"

Liao Yongsheng was startled. The believers regarded the Penglai Great Immortal as a god, and rushed forward without hesitation. The Japanese pirates were caught off guard, and due to the huge disparity in numbers, they did not dare to act rashly. Soon all the Japanese pirates with samurai heads were arrested, and neither did Yamamoto exception.

"Great Immortal!" Liao Yongsheng shouted in a low voice, but Chunfa and the people were out of his control.

As soon as Chunfa raised his hand, the crowd fell silent and listened to his further instructions.

"The pirates are still the same pirates, with the same knives. Please remember the strength of your unity today. You can use your own ability to drive out the aggression."

Some believers in the crowd shouted, "Penglai Great Immortal has boundless celestial power, so that we mortals can also have power!"

"No! This power is not given to you by me, because I am a fake Penglai Great Immortal. You all know me. I am the number one decliner in Fucheng, Jin Chunfa." Come down, Chunfa continued,

"The purpose of the existence of the Penglai Xianjiao is to unite everyone and realize their own strength. Now that the purpose has been achieved, there is no need for the Penglai Xianjiao to continue to exist! The Japanese pirates ask you to leave Taiwan. Forgive me! As for Pirate King Liao Yongsheng, he has really changed his mind. I have only existed as a puppet these years. He and his brothers did food distribution and disaster relief. I hope you can truly accept them. I declare that the Penglai Immortal Sect will be disbanded! "

The people were whispering and talking, and the scene was like a swarm of bees flying around, creating a noisy scene.Liao Yongsheng's face was ashen, he came up and grabbed Chunfa's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Do you think I can't do anything if I get rid of this mob? Today I must take Taiwan!" He waved his hand, and Chunfa Fa was thrown back a few steps, "Come here, send an order to detonate."

"Slow!" Chunfa shouted behind him.

"You don't need to say any more. I've made up my mind!" Liao Yongsheng said without looking back.

"Brother Liao, I know you do everything for me! Thank you!"

Liao Yongsheng softened his heart, but warned himself not to show it.Chunfa will understand his intentions sooner or later.

"I don't need it anymore!" There was something different in Chunfa's voice. Liao Yongsheng saw the horrified expressions of his subordinates, and the crowd also exclaimed, their hearts sank suddenly, and they turned their heads suddenly.Chunfa holds the dagger that saved him in the hands of the Japanese pirates that day with both hands, and is stabbing himself in the chest.

"Chunfa!" Liao Yongsheng exclaimed.

Everything seemed to become sluggish and slow, and even the wings of a bird could be seen, and all sounds were silent.

Guanghui looked up at the sky, the sun was smudged with tears, and the corners of his mouth trembled into a smile.

"Ah Fa, let's see what good things my brother brought you?"

"This knife is so beautiful!"

"For you to cut the rope."

"I'll try it, it's so fast! Brother, thank you!"

Chunfa slowly let go of the hands holding the handle of the knife, gently caressing his chest, bright red leaked from the cracks between his fingers, Chunfa frowned because of the pain, in that unusually slow time, Liao Yongsheng could see every one of his The slightest expression, even the trembling of eyelashes - he didn't know that he had actually reached Chunfa's side in two strides, and supported his fallen body. It took only a moment - he saw Chunfa raised his eyes to look at him, the corners of his mouth Slowly upward, with a weak smile, the world hums hollowly.

Suddenly, a thought struck Liao Yongsheng's blank mind like lightning, he immediately believed that he had found the answer, he even laughed, the world was turning and noisy again, he stretched out his hand and pulled Chunfa's skirt.

No soft armor, nothing!

Only the moist warm blood wet his hands, the blood he had seen in countless killings in this life, the familiar smell, color and feel... He had never been afraid of blood in his life, he killed people, and No frown!This was the first time in his life that he was afraid of blood, and this was the first time in his life that he shed tears for blood.

"Brother Liao," Chunfa's voice was weak, Liao Yongsheng put his ear to his mouth, "I'm stupid, I don't know if it's right to sacrifice some people to save more people, but I can't let one person get hurt because of me, this It's the only thing I can do."

Chunfa turned his head, Guanghui stood there, Chunfa's eyes seemed to ask, brother, did I do the right thing this time?

Guanghui smiled hard, nodded, and tears finally flowed down.

Chunfa also laughed, and swallowed his last breath calmly. Liao Yongsheng felt the passing of life, he was too familiar with death!But this was the first time he experienced the feeling of death, and a part of himself died with him.He still hugged Chunfa and maintained a standing posture, his face was distorted by anger and despair, he slowly stretched his hand to his waist, suddenly pulled out the knife, pointed at Guanghui, and roared, "Chen Guanghui, is it you?" The idea? Why are you so cruel!"

Guanghui shook his head, "Liao Yongsheng, the heart-piercing pain you are experiencing now is something that everyone who has lost a loved one will experience. This is why Ah Fa is unwilling to hurt anyone in his life. If everyone is like Ah Fa Same, does the world still need your killing? Ah Fa is admonishing you with his life, wake up quickly!"

Liao Yongsheng's eyes were in a trance, and he lowered the knife slowly. He looked down at Chunfa's face, as calm as if he had fallen asleep. Through the powder and paint, he saw Chunfa was dressed in rags, his face was covered with ashes, and he smiled at him. Although life has become difficult, Chunfa has not changed. The beautiful world is in his heart.

Liao Yongsheng felt the grief and indignation in his heart melt like ice and snow meeting the warm sun, the world became boundless, and a powerful tranquility descended.

He looked at Guanghui, and Guanghui saluted him with palms together, "Amitabha!"

Liao Yongsheng nodded in return, slowly raised his wrist, and placed the knife across his neck.

☆, end

"Amitabha!"

"Amitabha!"

Guanghui and Monk Budai exchanged salutes.

The Budai monk said, "Congratulations, the Tiger Arhat has returned to his throne, and his hostility has disappeared. This trip is worthwhile. I heard that he asked the Buddha himself to go to the north to save sentient beings."

Guanghui said, "He also went back."

The Budai monk laughed, "The Buddha really opened the back door this time, and the two knots of Fuhu and Arhat will be solved together."

"Great love and equality! How could the Buddha treat the world and Arhats favorably?"

"That's right, we still need to practice further!"

"In future generations, since you have awakened a long time ago, it's hard for you to pretend that you don't know him."

"Haha, we certainly choose the great way and let go of little love, but that doesn't mean we are ruthless. If we are really ruthless, where is love?

The two cloth bag monks laughed loudly, and after saying goodbye, they each worked hard in their own lives to complete the mission of Purdue life.

☆、Special episode: Budai Kongkongknows the past

On that day, Guanghui was imprisoned by Liao Yongsheng to threaten Chunfa to rebel against him. Although Guanghui had shaved and made a vow out of compassion for the innocent dead and injured, he had not awakened suddenly.He knew that the key to getting rid of the threat of the Penglai Immortal Sect was Chunfa. When Chunfa came to visit the prison, although the two brothers didn't say anything explicitly, they had a tacit understanding to sacrifice their lives together for righteousness.

After Chunfa left, Guanghui asked Bu Dai if he could meet Ah Fa again in the next life.

After Guanghui entered the Budai world, he saw the Budai monk he was familiar with, the one who claimed to be his offspring, but was much younger than when he saw it. It turned out that everything he said was true!Because the later life has already awakened, so I can see why he came here at a glance, and tell him, "You are going in the wrong direction. You have to go to the previous life to know the relationship between Ah Fa and you."

Guanghui was completely ignorant, and walked in the direction pointed by the young Budai monk, when he suddenly heard a burst of Sanskrit music and smelled a puff of sandalwood, his mood suddenly became clear.He saw himself worshiping under the seat of the Buddha, and voluntarily accepted the mission of saving sentient beings in the tenth reincarnation. The Buddha also entrusted him with a special task-to help save the tiger arhat who is also the eighteenth arhat.Fuhu Arhat was the latest to join the Eighteen Arhats. He has a straightforward personality. Seeing the injustice in the world, he was violent and punished. He wanted to use his own magic power to do justice for the heavens. Therefore, the Buddha earlier asked him to re-enter samsara to purify himself.

The Buddha said to him, "Budai, when Fu Hu passed by the Penglai Fairy Mountain, he caught a glimpse of the Penglai Great Immortal, and never forgot it. Therefore, this time he went to the world for restoration. I will discuss it with the Emperor of Heaven, and invite the Penglai Great Immortal to join me. Come down to earth, Great Immortal Penglai is kind and beautiful, with him assisting you, Fu Hu's success rate of melting hostility will be greatly increased."

Budai Luohan took the order to go. Before that, he had never seen Penglai Great Immortal.

Guanghui rolled out of the bag, and the past and present alternated, half of which was the cloth bag arhat, half of which was Chen Guanghui, and Liao Yongsheng, half of which was the crouching tiger arhat who served with him in front of the Buddha, which was also his primary mission in this life.

He also found the answer he wanted - his fate with Chunfa will end forever in two days.

In the afterlife, there will never be him again.

☆, Fanwai: Xianshan across the sea of ​​clouds

The cloth bag arhat stands on this bank, looking at the other side of the vast water, the haze is heavy.

Shaking his head suddenly, laughing at the feeling of being close to his hometown, he raised his hand and threw the cloth bag into the water. The cloth bag swelled when it saw the water, and it swelled like a big drum. The light boat, like an arrow, went into the misty water.

The fairy boy reported it, and from time to time, the fairy's sleeves fluttered, like a swipe of the evening crimson glow, or like a windward rose, and the man floated to him.She just smiled and looked at him without saying a word.Her eyes are starry, her lips are rippling with spring waves, her long hair hangs down like ink and satin.

This is what Fuhu Luohan looked like at the first sight!

But in my heart, he is still that commoner boy.

"Hello Venerable Budai!" The other party finally spoke first, his voice was the same as before, only less naive and a little more calm.

"Hello, Daxian!" The cloth bag Arhat hadn't felt so cramped for many years.

After eating the fairy tea offered by the fairy boy, the Penglai Great Immortal raised his plain hand, "Please look at my handwriting, Your Honor." His smile was slightly mischievous.

Ethereal and elegant, free from dust and vulgarity, the Lohan in a bag shook his head and laughed, "Now I can't teach you anymore!"

"I often think of you, brother, who taught me how to write in Bengang. At that time, how to write was stupid." Penglai Daxian changed his words suddenly and smiled at Yanyan.In the soft light, his skin was as smooth as jade, and as white as snow. The cloth bag Luohan said with a smile, "What does it feel like to pretend to be yourself?"

The Great Immortal Penglai picked up a lock of hanging hair and played with it, "Nowadays it's very easy without powder or wig!"

"Has Venerable Fuhu come here?"

The Great Immortal Penglai shook his head, pointed to a lotus flower in the clean bottle and said, "He asked his tiger to send you the lotus flower from the Western Paradise."

Lotus, peace.It means that he has gone through the demons and returned to the right way.

This meaning must have been conveyed very clearly.

The most beautiful and good is a fairy.You deserve it!

Great compassion is for the Buddha, brother, you have a long way to go!If you are tired, the door of Penglai Xianfu is always open for you.
