My brother is so cunning.

This memory was very painful. Fashan's face was gloomy, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions, and then he spoke slowly: "I woke up in the middle of the night that day and noticed a familiar evil spirit vaguely floating in the temple. This was the first time this happened. , She is very good at hiding evil spirits, but the evil energy I sensed this night was very strong and undisguised.”

"I had an ominous premonition and quickly followed the evil spirit in the temple, hoping to find her before the protective monk and persuade her to run away quickly to avoid being surrounded and killed."

"I am very familiar with her demonic aura, and I quickly found the source of the demonic aura. It is an empty temple that has not yet been built. It is in a remote location and there are no monks hanging around on weekdays. I thought she was spreading it deliberately. The evil spirit led me to this secret meeting, so I broke in. "

"When I broke into the hall, I saw the most absurd and terrifying scene in my life..."

…

The memory flashed back to the moment in Fashan's memory when he broke into the side hall.

In the empty hall, there were endless gasps, groans, and collisions. Under the dim shadow of the lights, there were many intertwined bodies. The shadows trembled and deformed on the walls, like a group of demons dancing.

This is a holy Buddhist temple where a statue of a god is about to be enshrined. It is simply like a sacrificial ceremony of an evil sect!

He recognized everyone in the hall who had fallen into madness. They were his usually dignified senior brothers in Baoxiang. The woman surrounded and entangled by them turned out to be her!

In addition to the pleasant stench, there was also a strong smell of blood in the hall. There were already many corpses twisted and lying in weird postures, with hideous gashes on their necks and blood flowing all over the floor.

Those who are not dead have already fallen into a frenzy and are completely unaware of the tragic death of their companions. They are addicted to lust and can't extricate themselves. They are happy to have their mana and even bone marrow drained.

Fashan was just a young man who had just turned eighteen at this time. This scene had completely destroyed his mature state of mind. He stood stunned until the fox girl drained the last living person's magic power and pulled the person's neck. After draining the blood, he suddenly woke up and regained his ability to move.

The fox girl also discovered him, abandoned the mummy, and walked slowly towards him covered in filth and blood, but her eyes were strangely clear and flawless. She smiled broadly and opened her arms to him.

"This is not a good place."

The fox girl's voice was calm with a hint of coquettishness, and was full of inexplicable temptation: "I have killed everyone who stopped us from being together. Come with me, to the shore of Tsogao Lake...the lake there is as green as emerald. , the Gesang flowers by the lake are as red as fire, and in winter the lake turns to ice and is as blue as the sky... There are no worries there..."

Fashan retreated in great horror, subconsciously formed the Vajrasattva Seal, and raised the demon-subduing pestle.

The fox girl looked at him in astonishment and murmured aggrievedly: "Are you afraid of me? Why are you afraid of me?"

The confused expression did not last long. She seemed to have figured out something, and asked herself, "Is it because I am a demon? You once said that demons are demons, and humans and demons have different paths. In this life, you are devoted to Buddha and will not follow me." Let’s go…”

After saying that, she turned back to look at the corpses on the floor of the hall, and sneered inexplicably: "Hehehe, hahaha..."

Her laughter became louder and louder, becoming more and more hysterical. When she turned her head, her pupils were no longer clear. They had turned into orange-yellow demonic pupils, and their pupils also turned into long, narrow and deep slits.

"Yes, I am a demon. Only then did I realize how happy it is to be a demon, and the taste of flesh and blood is so sweet!"

Sharp claws stretched out from the fingertips of her hands, and sharp teeth grew in her mouth. Her face became more ferocious, and her body was extremely fast. She turned into a black shadow and pounced towards Fashan without warning.

…

"In the end, I pierced the demon-conquering pestle into her heart. After her death, she returned to her original form, still looking like the snow fox I first met in childhood. It seemed that nothing had changed, but everything had changed."

Fashan whispered: "After that, I completely gave up all love and desire, devoted myself to the study of scriptures, and soon obtained the highest academic title of Jinlun Monastery, 'Lalampa Geshe', and got the opportunity to study at the Ajanta Caves. Qualifications. Not every 'Lalamba Geshe' can go to Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva's monastery. My merit in killing the fox demon to protect the temple is also considered for promotion."

Wen Rui recorded it silently and did not respond yet.

He Lingyun's heart was full of mixed feelings. Her previous suspicions and guesses were all wrong. The past grudges between the fierce monk and the fox girl were too complicated for her. She had no way to judge which one was right and which one was wrong. She could only secretly I lament that this is really a tragedy caused by a trick of fate.

After saying all this, Fashan felt relieved and said: "Now I can reveal my true feelings, examine my heart, and wake up like a dream. This is the demonic obstacle in my heart, and the source of my prejudice and hatred towards the demon clan."

"After breaking through the demonic barrier, the young monk carefully recalled that she absorbed the magic power of several senior brothers and devoured the essence of their flesh and blood. With the demonic power soaring, I, who had only studied scriptures for five years, was definitely no match. But she was defeated by me. He was stabbed in the heart and died. He must have not had any murderous intention towards me until the last moment of his life..."

Fashan continued with a sad tone: "My life was saved because of her one thought of compassion before she died. However, all these years, I only have resentment in my heart, and I have angered the demon clan and committed murder indiscriminately. Sin, sin..."

He looked up at Wen Rui sincerely and said, "The young monk didn't believe it before, but now he realizes that, as my fellow Taoist said before, I really have nothing to say if you want to kill me. It's just that I deserve my death." I am sincerely convinced, and I would also like to thank my fellow Taoist for teaching me before my death, which helped me break through the demonic obstacles, so that I no longer have any hatred, evil thoughts, or worries on the road to reincarnation.”

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "I respectfully ask fellow Taoist to take action to liberate this young monk."

He Lingyun was dumbfounded on the sidelines. She had previously heard that her senior brother said that she would be convinced that the fierce monk would die, and she thought it was just bragging. She never expected that after his senior brother's bizarre actions, it actually came true.

You know, it is easy to kill people, but if you kill them to convince them and say thank you, the difficulty is not on the same level.

He Lingyun compared Senior Brother Wen with the senior teachers of Lishan Immortal Sect. Although Senior Brother Wen's cultivation was low and he was like an ant compared to the senior teachers who started in the Celestial Realm, could his mind and methods be compared to those of the Celestial Realm masters?

I'm afraid that the old mother Lishan, the sect leader, wants to enlighten the Western monks. The only trick she can use is to become a mamasang and take her three daughters to betray her and have sex, right?

"Don't be in a hurry to die. Your criminal psychological profile is basically completed. Combining your confession with my investigation in the Snowy Mountains, the case can be closed."

Wen Rui waved his hand, put away the jade slips, and said to Fashan: "However, during my investigation, I also found some hidden clues that I need to explain to you so that your death will be more clear."

Fashan was stunned and said: "Listen carefully to your Taoist friend's instructions."

"After investigating the tribe you came from, I will set off to Jinlun Temple, pretend to be a Buddhist believer, and sneak into the temple to inquire about your past."

Wen Rui talked eloquently: "After all, Jinlun Temple is not a high-level Taoist temple. There are no eminent monks at the Arhat level in the temple. It also allows ordinary believers to visit and pray. It is not difficult to get in. It's a pity that many years have passed and there are almost no monks in the temple. After a change, even the new abbot has only been in office for a few years. Most of the monks only know that a demonic disaster occurred and you quelled it, but they don’t know what happened. "

"However, there are a few old people who, under my great memory recovery technique, were able to find clues."

"What's the doubt?" Fashan asked suspiciously.

Wen Rui narrowed his eyes and said: "After the evil disaster happened, the abbot issued a hush-hush order, strictly prohibiting any monks who knew about it from talking about it, especially not to leak it to you. Anyone who violates it will be stripped of their monk status and expelled from the temple."

"The gag order is to conceal the secret. Before that night of the demon fox killing, there were already rumors circulating in the temple that you had a secret meeting with the beautiful demon fox and broke the sexual precept. Many of your brothers and sisters have heard about it. One of your A senior brother secretly colluded with the party and gathered a group of people to plot something. All of these people later died, and there is no way to find out what they were plotting. "

Fashan was extremely shocked when he heard this. He could no longer calmly go to death calmly. His breathing suddenly became rapid and his face changed drastically.

"No wonder, I did vaguely notice that the atmosphere in the temple was a bit strange, but I was so depressed that I only focused on the meaning of the scriptures and had no time to care about anything else. Could it be..."

"No need to guess. As for what those people were plotting..."

Wen Rui said as he took out another green glass bottle: "Fortunately, I found a survivor. That person has returned to secular life and became a sculptor. He carves Buddha statues all day long. I found him and asked him about the demon fox. He was as if He was relieved, but he refused to confess. He bit off his tongue in front of me and just begged me to kill him. Fortunately, I had a memory extraction device and extracted this memory to completely restore the truth. "

As he spoke, Wen Rui installed the green glass bottle on a weird machine, pressed the button of the weird machine, and a picture appeared on the screen.

In the picture, a group of monks surrounded the fox girl, shouting and threatening her.

"It's so easy to deceive. As expected, I imitated Fashan's handwriting and wrote a letter to her, and this wretch came to my doorstep."

"Witch, you don't want the scandal between you and your lover to be exposed, do you?"

"Yes, yes, he was the best disciple in the monastery studying scriptures and the most promising to obtain the academic title of 'Lalamba Geshe'. However, he was expelled from the monastery for breaking the sexual precept. It's pitiful that he has been studying the scriptures for many years. Praying to the Buddha is all in vain."

"Humph, why is that kid! He always deserves praise from the abbot when studying scriptures. He pretends to be an eminent monk, but he hooks up with a beautiful banshee. Such a hypocritical flower monk dares to steal Laran Bagh from Zen Master Fake. Western academic title!”

"Demon girl, I have obtained the secret method of the hermit sect, which is the great secret of becoming a Buddha in the physical body. I am missing a good cauldron. It is rare that although you are a demon body, you have no karma and are as pure as jade, just in line with your nature. I wonder what you like about Fashan’s elm knots, so that the Buddha can help you reach the state of bliss, hahaha.”

"Dare you disobey? Among us monks, who is not higher than you? Today you are surrounded by us and can't fly! When we use our magical power to beat you back to your original form, drag you to report to the abbot, let's see how Fashan can survive. "

The fox girl raised her head, her eyes emitted a strange light, and said softly: "The masters have great magic power, how dare you disobey me, little demon? I just ask for mercy on my brother. I will serve you wholeheartedly and send these masters to heaven." sky."

Heavy breathing and strange laughter resounded.

The fox girl's tone turned extremely cold: "Brother once told me that the disciples of Demon King Bo Xun mingled with the monks, and the Buddha could only shed tears in vain."

She looked around at the ferocious-looking people with cold eyes and said calmly: "You are the demons transformed from greed and desire. You gathered together to destroy my brother's ambition to practice. And am I not the demon in his heart? Today, I will This monster skin Let's use the bag as bait to lure you devils together. When we demons go to hell and let go of the road to heaven to obtain the true scriptures, my brother may be able to seek the way he longs for and attain enlightenment. His desire came true..."

…

"Combined with this memory flashback, I can reasonably infer that the fox girl turned into a demon and pounced on you but was killed in return. It was not because she was merciful and could not bear to kill you, but because she wanted to use you to commit suicide and clear your suspicion."

Wen Rui said in a tone without any emotion: "If she escaped, the killing would definitely be traced back to you, and you would be killed as a demon monk who broke the precepts and attracted demons to kill monks. She was afraid of disturbing your state of mind, so she didn't even tell the truth. She silently took on all the sins alone and cleared the obstacles on your future practice, which even included herself..."

After watching the memory flashback and listening to Wen Rui's words, Fashan no longer looked like a cultivator. He roared and howled like a wild beast, and cried like the hunter Zhang Qi in his last reincarnation dream.

The roar and crying startled the birds in the surrounding mountains and forests, and the beasts fled, echoing between the sky and the earth for a long time.
