After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

Hui Ding did not give a direct answer, but only said: "The right or wrong of a monk's behavior cannot be disguised because of his original intention.

No matter what my original intention was or what the final outcome of this matter was, my actions today have truly hurt innocent people.

My hands are no longer hands that save people, but hands stained with blood.

The road under my feet is no longer the Buddhist path I long for, but a dead end that is destined to lead to no return.

But I have already started, and now I can only move forward.

After this, I will wait for the day of judgment with a heart of atonement.”

At this point, Hui Ding closed his eyes, and opened them after a long while. He looked at Hui Xin with a firm face and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, I have violated many precepts and committed serious sins. I have tarnished the reputation of Buddhism. I am ashamed to wear monk's robes and even more ashamed to call myself a disciple of the Buddha. I would like to leave the Huguo Temple. I hope the abbot will grant my wish!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to take off his monk's robe, bowed reverently three times to the Buddha statues in the hall, then turned around and bowed to Huixin, then turned around and strode away.

Huixin was shocked and could never have imagined that Huiding would do such a thing.

When he came to his senses, he hurriedly chased after him.

However, no matter how he called, Huiding never looked back.

Obviously, his junior fellow apprentice was still in his prime, but he looked like he was carrying something heavy, and his back suddenly became a little hunched.

Huixin stood at the gate of Huguo Temple, watching Huiding's figure gradually walking away. She then turned around to look at the compassionate Buddha statues all over the hall. Her nose felt sore and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Even if one's heart is bent on a pure realm, living in this mundane world, who can truly stay out of it?

"From now on, there will be no more Huiding in the small Buddhist forest of Huguo Temple..." he murmured.

……

The scene of Huiding's departure hurt his heart so deeply that when Huixin recalls it now, it is still as clear as if it happened yesterday, and his eyes can't help but become red again.

Xin Huarong: “……?”

She just asked what happened next, and didn't say anything excessive, why did Huixin's eyes turn red for no reason?

Xiaoqing was also stunned, a little confused.

"Master," Xin Huarong said carefully, "Are you okay?"

Huixin recalled so many past events, but in fact, it was just a blink of an eye.

Hearing this, he immediately lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you Madam Hou for your concern. I am fine. I just remembered some past events. By the way, I just mentioned helping Prime Minister Fu suppress his innate energy, right?"

Xin Huarong nodded slightly, "That's right."

“Actually, this all comes at a price.” Hui Xin paused, and changed the backlash of the curse to the price of suppressing the innate energy, blurring out everything in the past, and said vaguely: “Once the restriction is lifted, Junior Brother will suffer the backlash.

After helping Prime Minister Fu suppress his innate energy, my junior fellow apprentice Hui Ding returned to the border and continued to help the people there exorcise evil spirits.

A few months ago, there were thunderstorms on sunny days and strange phenomena in the sky. I had an ominous premonition in my heart...

So I hurried to the border, and as I expected, Brother Huiding had already ascended to the Western Paradise.

I calculated the time and found that the day when Junior Brother Huiding passed away was the day when there was a strange phenomenon in the sky.

He was hit by a backlash! "

Hearing this, Xin Huarong and Xiaoqing couldn't help but exclaim.

Seeing Huixin's sad face, the two of them hurried to comfort her.

Huixin waved her hands and said nothing was wrong, while she repented in her heart, hoping that the Buddha would forgive her sin of lying.

He was forced.

He had no choice but to protect the people in Huguo Temple from retaliation.

Moreover, my junior brother did die from the backlash.

He did go to the border.

He didn't lie in the general direction, just the small details were different.

The strange phenomenon that occurred in the sky that day, coupled with the fact that Fu Yutang had disappeared for no apparent reason some time ago, made him intuitively feel that the thunder was related to the curse on Fu Yutang, so he quickly sent people to the capital to inquire about the news.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yutang appeared in less than half a day.

Still alive and moving.
