Chapter 25: Relief and Silence Ending
"Hui'er, when you see this letter, Master probably has gone to the Buddha. Don't be sad. This is my best destination. Don't blame Shi Xin. If you want to blame, blame Master. You have been steady all your life, but in the end, the temple is in chaos. Shi Long and others are ambitions and are connected with foreign countries. Even if we and others are outsiders, they should raise the sword in their hands to eliminate the devil and defend the way. Your heart is too soft, so Master gave it to Shi Xin. Unexpectedly, it almost caused a big mistake. Fortunately, the God of Fire took the initiative to calm the civil strife. Master has no face to face the temple. So just go to seclusion to see the Buddha this time, Amitabha!"
Shi Huai looked at the letter in his hand. Shi Huai trembled and rubbed the rice paper in his hand, feeling the familiar handwriting and the familiar breath. When he memorized a piece of scripture, the master smiled and praised, lit the woodshed in the temple and was angry, and broke his arm when practicing martial arts. His master was red and his eyes were used to apply medicine to himself... Every bit of the past came to his heart.
"What else did Master... say?"
"The old host said that the affairs of the temple will leave you with a knot in your heart. I hope this letter can untie your knot in your heart!"
Shi Huai opened his mouth, raised his head and smiled bitterly, tears fell silently, around his cheeks, and understood everything, understood why the master disappeared silently at that time, understood Shi Xin's bitter advice, and understood why he could escape his life under the encirclement of the two gods. Master, Huai'er was wrong.
Shi Huai lowered his head and threw the letter on his face, cried loudly, but only ah-ah sound came out of his mouth. His voice seemed to be blocked by something, and his heart was empty, as if something had evacuated all his blood. The originally clear tears gradually brought a little blood.
Lin Xuan was also in a panic. He pursed his lips and tears rolled in his eyes. Looking at the arrogant Shu Huai who just now cried like a child, Lin Xuan felt really uncomfortable. Was Shu Huai wrong? He thought that the master was killed and revenge, was he wrong? He was not wrong in killing the traitors. What was wrong were those traitors, those pseudo-monks who looked kind-eyed and despised human lives.
The scene was very quiet, Emperor Hong Qing, Lin Dun, Li Nan, and Lin Xuan were all silent. Only the cry of letting go surrounded, cried all the inner entanglements, cried for many years, and cried into Lin Xuan's heart.
Gradually, Shi Huai's crying became less, leaving only two clear blood marks on his red and swollen eyes and two clear blood marks on his face. Shi Huai folded the wet letter, put his heart on his right, sat cross-legged, folded his hands together, and recited the sutra of rebirth. Just like back then, he chanted the sutra quietly...
Lin Xuan suddenly appeared, and the wound on Shi Huai's body healed rapidly. The momentum that originally had a bloody smell disappeared, and a faint golden color began to appear. As the sound of Shi Huai's scriptures became louder and louder, the golden light on his body became stronger and stronger.
"Breakthrough?" Emperor Hong Qing said in surprise.
"No, it's also true!" Li Nan sighed.
"Is that true?"
"Oh..." Lindon sighed and said, "He has untied his heart, recited the Sutra of Rebirth for every soul under his command, and also recited the Sutra of Rebirth for himself..."
Lin Xuan was shocked: "Then is this?"
Linton looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Returning back, the things that have been hosting for so many years have tortured him. Every time he kills someone, he tortures him. Now he is finally truly relieved. Letting go of the knot is also another breakthrough. Perhaps this is why the host asked him to let go. After several battles, he has exhausted his energy. In addition, he has let go of his worries and his life has come to an end. Endless killing has turned into endless good thoughts, which is also a good end."
Lin Xuan no longer hated the relief that he had just given him a knife. Instead, he felt a little sympathetic to him. Perhaps he was still an ordinary person. Suddenly someone died in front of him, Lin Xuan was a little at a loss, even if this person just wanted to kill him.
"By the way, Dad, you have a lot of medicines from uncles of doctors. Please use them for Uncle Shi Huai, save him!" Lin Xuan's tears flowed down and he grabbed Linton's sleeve and shook it.
Linton sighed, stroked Lin Xuan's head, and shook his head.
"Lin Xuan, do you see Shi Huai has scars? Do you feel the hurt smell on him?" Li Nan looked at Lin Xuan and said.
Lin Xuan chopped towards Shi Huai. At this time, Shi Huai's body was no longer scars. Even the sword marks of Li Nan's spike on the left were gone, and there was no blood on his body. His breath was very full, and there was no sign of injury at all. Shi Huai's rebirth sutra ended. There seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there were golden starlight swimming beside him, and the halo behind his head was faintly visible.
"Little donor, thank you. I have seen through life and death. I want to follow my master. How can I not be willing to give up this body of skin? The donor has good thoughts and will definitely be rewarded. I kill countless times in my life. It is considered a favorable ending for this kind of outcome. Please do not be sad. If the donor still respect me, please remember the story of me. Remember my monk. Remember my monk's words. No matter how good I am, you must have good thoughts and never do evil. If you take a wrong step, you will be hell. Remember..." Shi Huai opened his eyes, no longer the hideousness, hatred, and sorrow that was before. There was only endless peace and kindness.
Lin Xuan felt a breeze blowing on his face, and the sadness in his heart suddenly calmed down a lot. Lin Xuan stood up and bowed to Shu. At this moment, in Lin Xuan's heart, Shu was Buddha.
"When I was young, I always asked Master what Buddha was. Master always said, you will understand in the future. I used to think that Master was lying to me, but now I understand that everyone is a Buddha, and everyone has a Buddha in their hearts." The golden light on Shi Huai's body became more and more prosperous, just like the flames, Shi Huai's figure gradually blurred. "Haha, Master, I understand, I understand, Master is waiting for me, I'm here." The flames are getting bigger and bigger, and I can hardly see Shi Huai's figure "Amitabha!"
Gradually, the flames became smaller and then slowly disappeared. A transparent round bead was left where Shu Huai crossed his head, with golden lights inside. Strangely, the flames burned Shu Huai, but did not burn even a single grass, and there was no sign of charred trees around him. Instead, some of them had sprouted. However, his master's letter and the secrets he stole were gone.
The rose bead suddenly flew up and slowly flew to Lin Xuan with a golden light. Lin Xuan stretched out his hands deep, and the rose bead fell on Lin Xuan's hand. Lin Xuan felt a sense of peace in his heart.
"Xuan'er, this is the relics left by Shi Huai after being roasted by the karma fire. Since he chose you, keep them well and don't let Shi Huai down. Maybe in the future, he can save your life. This is the reward for his kindness to you." Lindon patted Lin Xuan's shoulder and looked at Emperor Hong Qing, who was a little jealous next to him.
"Okay, you guys come out, this matter is over!" Li Nan suddenly looked at the forest beside him, smiled and said, "Since the matter has come to an end, let's go out and clean up the game..."
