Chapter one hundred and seventy-fifth parting sorrow
"Oh, that's fine. Xiaozhuo, Xiaodie, Qiurong... you can go and get your own lotus stand in the lotus pond."
Seeing everyone like this, he sighed lightly, flicked the dust in his hand, and called the names of more than fifty people.
Of course, Xiaoqian, Zixiang, Zhiyu and other people who have not yet cleared away their sins are not among them.
Seeing this, Xiaoqian and others' expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at the sisters whose names were called at a loss.
"Let's go get it." Ling Qing paused and said again.
Xiaozhuo and others were even more confused and stunned...
It wasn't until Lingqing reminded her again that she turned around and held the lotus in her arms.
Lingqing raised his hand and took all of them into the air, then made a series of rays of light with his hand, and kept chanting the incantation in his mouth.
Suddenly, a series of forbidden curses appeared on the lotus platform.
After a while, when he stopped, the brilliance of the lotus platform was restrained and fell into their arms again.
Lingqing flicked the fly whisk again and said.
"Because your sins are shallow and your karma is small, you have already transferred your sins to the lotus platform.
I should have walked in the mortal world, accumulated virtues, done good deeds, and cultivated a kind heart.
It's just that I am afraid that you have no means to defeat the enemy, so I have forced you to stay here till now.
Now you have learned some techniques to protect yourself.
It’s time to pay back your own sins.”
"I...I'm waiting...I'm waiting..."
Xiaozhuo and the others were stumbling and couldn't come up with anything.
He just bowed to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
"Get up."
Seeing them like this, Lingqing nodded at them and continued.
Xiao Zhuo and others did not dare to disobey, and stood up slowly, but still kept their heads down.
"well!"
Ling Qing sighed again, shook the whisk in his hand twice, and put it on his arm.
At the same time, he stood up, paused for a moment, and walked out of the hall.
Yan Chixia and Mu Jingrou followed him on the left and right.
Xiaoqian and others were left gnashing their teeth and looking at Xiaozhuo and others.
"Xiao Zhuo..."
When she saw Lingqing and the others walking into the courtyard, Xiaoqian couldn't help but scream.
When Xiaozhuo and others heard this, they woke up like a dream and hurriedly took a few steps to follow Lingqing.
Xiaoqian and others followed after they saw them leaving.
After a while, Lingqing came to the square outside the gate and looked up at the red sun setting in the west.
Until Xiaozhuo and others stood in front of him holding the lotus in their hands, with Xiaoqian and others hugging behind him.
He then turned around and looked at Xiao Zhuo and others.
“Although it is pitiful and miserable, after all, you have committed evil deeds and incurred sins, and you must eventually pay for them.
I only hope that you can wash away all the lead in the world of mortals and shine brightly.
As the saying goes: Do evil deeds regardless of the heart, and there is no perfect person in the world.
Even poor Taoists don't dare to say that they are selfless and bright in their hearts, so naturally they don't ask you not to have any evil thoughts.
However, even though you have evil thoughts in your heart, you must avoid them and guide them, and never follow them into action.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will sink forever and be unable to leave the sea of evil."
He paused and then said.
"However, people's hearts are unpredictable and evil thoughts are difficult to control. No one knows when they will lose control.
Therefore, I have put a restriction on you. Whenever you want to do evil deeds in the future, you will suffer heartbreaking pain."
"I'll thank you for your mercy!"
Xiaozhuo and others felt grateful after hearing this. They immediately fell to the ground, put their foreheads on the ground, and kowtowed three times. The sound was clear.
They don't feel resentful because Ling Qing placed a restriction on them.
Because they understand that their master does not want to torture them.
I just want to help everyone achieve their merits as quickly as possible and avoid sinking.
"I have told you about good and evil in the past, and I understand them all even if I think about it.
The prohibition is based on the good and evil in the heart of the poor man, and is naturally not a moral standard.
But acting accordingly will be enough to prevent you from committing bad karma.
I hope you can think twice before acting in the future, think carefully before acting, start carefully and end carefully.
Whether you do good or evil at the foot of the mountain, it's all up to you, don't take any advantage of me.
If the restriction is lifted and the evil thoughts in your heart persist and you sink into the sea of evil, don't come back.
In the future, if you avoid Pindao, you will be able to save our friendship, and save Pindao from taking action to wipe out his sinful karma.
Do you understand?"
"I'll wait, I understand! I won't let the temple master waste his kindness!"
Xiao Zhuo and others kowtowed again and said.
"Now the time has come, go ahead!
Let’s go!
Let’s go!”
Lingqing called out three times in a row before they slowly stood up.
"Guest, take care! Everyone, take care!"
Xiao Zhuo and others said goodbye to everyone reluctantly, and then turned back three times and disappeared from everyone's eyes with the setting sun.
Behind her, Xiaoqian and others were too soft-hearted to say goodbye, and had long since covered their faces and cried.
They have known each other for several years, sometimes more than ten years, but they never thought there was anything good about each other.
However, over the past three months, our relationship has grown deeper and deeper, and they are now as close as sisters.
Although we know that sooner or later we will have to say goodbye, but once we meet, how can we bear the pain of separation in our hearts.
Even Zi Xiang, who has always had a competitive temperament, couldn't help but the glint in her eyes.
"Brother Dao, are you reluctant to let go?"
Yan Chixia looked at the place where Xiaozhuo and others disappeared and asked intently.
Lingqing suddenly shook the whisk in his hand twice, clasped his hands in front of his chest and said quietly.
"Human beings are not wood or stone, so how can they be heartless? Moreover, wood and stone are also sentient beings, and they cannot escape the sorrow of separation.
How can we remain indifferent after spending so many days together?"
It was a good idea at first, just let them abandon evil and do good, and that would be enough for them to gain some merit.
But after getting along with them for a long time, we saw that they were not the kind of vicious people who would not change, so how could we treat them like passers-by anymore.
Yan Chixia was silent when she heard this. Although the time he spent with them was not as long as Ling Qing's.
But he was a man of temperament. In the past, these women had good natures and treated him with great respect.
He was thoughtful in everything and never let him have any dissatisfaction.
Nowadays, seeing familiar people suddenly separated, it is hard to let go.
‘Wood and stone inspire spirits, are they also sentient beings?’
Mu Jingrou on the side couldn't help but feel moved after hearing Ling Qing's words and silently muttered.
Although she has a kind heart, she has many sins and evil thoughts, so she can't suddenly become a good person.
Although I spent so much time with Xiaoqian and others, I didn't care much about them.
After all, they were just imps driven by her will before, and it was difficult to change in a short period of time.
It was only because of Lingqing's restraint and instruction that I treated them with great courtesy.
But just after hearing these words, she suddenly felt an inexplicable envy towards Xiao Zhuo and others who had left.
I envy them that there are still people who care about them, are willing to worry about their safety, and are willing to shed tears when they leave.
'I wonder if he lets me leave the mountain in the future, will anyone be as worried as he is today?'
She turned to look at Ling Qing, feeling a little lost in thought.
"It's getting late, and it's time to rest after doing evening classes."
It wasn't until Lingqing saw that the sky was getting dark and turned around to look back that she came back to her senses.
"well!"
She sighed softly, took another look at the place where Xiao Zhuo and others disappeared, and turned back to the Taoist temple.
Not to mention that Ling Qing and others were doing evening classes in the mostly empty hall.
