Yuan Xingtai's words immediately made the atmosphere in the drug store become oppressive and solid. No one spoke for a while, and everyone turned their attention to Yuan Xingtai.
But I saw him sitting cross-legged on the ground, clasping his hands, and chanting something. After reciting many Buddhist words quickly, he said to everyone:
"Since you don't nourish yourself, it's better not to give birth! If you give birth but don't nourish yourself, it's difficult to enter the reincarnation, and you don't know your sins, so you can save them by the Dharma..."
"It's nonsense, it's all nonsense," Ran Lin yelled angrily, "You lunatic! Why do you decide the life and death of others? I didn't blame my wife for anything, so why did you want to kill her!?"
"She didn't know what she was doing, so she had to let me save her!" Yuan Xingtai seemed to be a different person, his eyes full of cruelty, "Have you ever thought about it, this is so unfair to that child?
!?"
"You..." Ran Lin was so angry that she was speechless.
"Yuan Xingtai," Xu Zunze took a step forward and asked, "Monk Liankong, who are you? The case of the corpse of a woman in monk's clothes ten years ago, was it you or he?"
"Hahahahaha..." Hearing Xu Zun's question, Yuan Xingtai suddenly laughed like crazy, "Ci Luo Bei Sutra says, great sorrow has no tears. You are not orphans, how can you understand the state of mind of an orphan?"
Tsk tsk...
Seeing that Yuan Xingtai was in a different state, Xu Zun was afraid that he would collapse, thus delaying their understanding of the truth.
At this time, if someone can say a few Buddhist verses to Yuan Xingtai and shock him, maybe he can wake up a little bit.
However, the people present were either police officers or soldiers, and no one understood Buddhism?
or……
Xu Zun tried hard to recall the relevant things in his previous life. After trying for a long time, he could only remember one of the most famous Buddhist verses, so he had to borrow it bluntly and said loudly:
"The bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust!"
"ah!?"
This Buddhist verse by the Sixth Patriarch Huineng has been passed down through the ages, and it is indeed extremely powerful.
After Na Yuan Xingtai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought, and after a while, he trembled and shed tears.
"There is nothing in the first place, so where is the dust..."
He raised his head and suddenly looked like a child who had made a mistake, praying.
"Yuan Xingtai," Xu Zun didn't expect a Buddhist verse to be so shocking, so he pointed at Yuan Xingtai and said three words, "Put it down!"
As soon as these words came out, Na Yuan Xingtai burst into tears, as if all the grievances that had been pent up in his heart had burst out.
Seeing such a scene, everyone was shocked and surprised.
What was shocking was how could Xu Zun say such a mysterious Buddhist verse? What was surprising was how could Yuan Xingtai cry so aggrievedly?
Xu Zun immediately waved his hands to everyone, which meant that everyone should stop talking and wait patiently.
Sure enough, after Yuan Xingtai cried for a while, he finally recounted the desolate past:
"You are right. I have lived in the Huguo Temple since I was a child. I am an abandoned baby who was adopted by a monk from an unknown family!
"Liuqi is the name given by the monks. Some people say that I am the 67th orphan adopted by Huguo Temple, so I am called Liuqi.
"Ever since I became sensible, I have followed the monks to eat fast, chant the Buddha's name, and do some chores.
"Although I live a comfortable life, I just can't figure out why my parents don't want me. What did I do wrong?
"Every time I see parents bringing their children to offer incense, I feel very... very angry. I blame the Buddha for being unfair to me.
"Every time that happens, I go to Master Lian Kong.
"Because Master Lian Kong is also an orphan who has lived in the temple since he was a child and was abandoned by others.
"He is proficient in Buddhism and has extensive knowledge. In addition to enlightening me, he also tells me many stories and makes me understand many truths.
"So, from that time on, Master Lian Kong is the person I admire the most!
"I once asked him, you know so much knowledge, why don't you go out of the temple and do other things to make a living? Why do you want to be a monk all your life?
"Master Lian Kong told me that he had indeed considered leaving the temple, but in the end he gave it up because he was afraid of the outside world.
"Summer and cold come and go, and this life is over.
"He understood that he was destined to be unable to leave Buddhism, so he devoted himself to studying Buddhist scriptures and never thought about it again.
"When I was a child, Master Lian Kong once told me that he would dream many times that he would become a handsome young man, talented, gain fame, and even be chosen by the princess as the consort..."
Speaking of this, Yuan Xingtai's eyes were full of hope, as if he wanted to retain the beauty in his fleeting thoughts.
"However, my temperament is different from his," Yuan Xingtai said. "When I was sixteen years old, I left Huguo Temple without saying goodbye!
"I want to go out and have a try, to see the world that Lian Kong told me about. I don't want to leave any regrets in my life, and I don't want to be trapped there forever...
"You have already checked my resume," Yuan Xingtai said. "After I joined the army, I never looked back, worked hard and made many military exploits. This is how I became Yuan Xingtai today!
"Ten years ago, I was delivering a message to Xuanmiao City for General Yunhui. I passed by Shangyuan City on the way, and then I went back to Huguo Temple to visit the monks.
"But I have changed so much that they don't recognize me anymore!
"I didn't reveal my identity, I just wanted to see Master Liankong again.
"However, Master Lian Kong went out to give lectures that day, and I don't know when he will return?
"I was busy with official duties at the time, so I decided to stay in the temple for one night. If I still couldn't see Master Lian Kong, I would have no choice but to set off at dawn and see you when I return!
"Alas... I didn't expect that that night changed my destiny!" Yuan Xingtai's eyes showed infinite regret, "Late that night, I saw the light in Master Liankong's room finally turned on, so I went to knock on the door to ask for permission.
“Unexpectedly, after opening the door, I saw blood all over his hands and the monk’s robe!
"I never imagined that after so many years, we would meet under such circumstances. He..." Yuan Xingtai fell into painful memories, "He led me into the house, and I saw the body of a woman lying in the house.
……well……"
Yuan Xingtai clenched his fists excitedly, and the corners of his eyes kept trembling.
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that such a scene would happen back then?
"I was so frightened. I never imagined that Lian Kong would kill someone, and he would kill someone from his own dormitory, right in the temple!" Yuan Xingtai continued, "And that Lian Kong, he couldn't even lie.
Bu Sa, tell me on the spot that he is the murderer!
"I asked him, why did you want to kill someone? As a result, he actually showed me a letter!"
Having said this, Yuan Xingtai was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and said in a trembling voice:
"That letter was written by a wealthy old lady from Shangyuan City. The old lady is extremely wealthy and is a well-known rich man.
"She often comes to Huguo Temple to offer incense, is good at charity, often gives clothes, rice and noodles to the monks, and is quite familiar with Lian Kong.
"That letter was the last letter written by the old lady to Lian Kong. The old lady returned to her true self before her death, and could not bear to take the secret to her grave before she died, so she told Lian Kong in the letter.
"Actually, Lian Kong was born to her, and she is Lian Kong's biological mother!!!"
