"Think about it, Lian Kong lived in the temple all his life," Yuan Xingtai continued. "In the end, his biological mother was very close to him, and she didn't tell him the truth until her death. How big a blow it was.
huge?
"Who can understand the resentment and hatred Lian Kong felt at that time?
"If he had not been an abandoned baby sent to a temple, what would have been his life trajectory?
"Will he live the life he dreamed of, a white horse?
"I don't want to give in to the sky, but what's the use of being unwilling? The blow to him by that letter was undoubtedly fatal, and it completely triggered his inner demons! Even though he was proficient in Buddhism and understood the principles of heaven, it still made him lose his mind and couldn't extricate himself.
!
"And what's even more devastating is that he mistakenly included me in it..."
oh……
Hearing this, Xu Zun already understood. It seemed that Taimin and Ju Ran did not catch the wrong suspect, but they did not find out the truth.
As expected, Yuan Xingtai was also involved.
"In anger, Na Lian Kong misinterpreted the "Ciluo Sutra" and used the distorted evil of reincarnation to cover up his crimes. But instead of noticing it, I felt the same as him, and fell into the abyss step by step..."
Yuan Xingtai showed regret and recalled with difficulty:
"That night, I asked him, what happened to that woman?
"He told me that the woman committed the sin of reincarnation, gave birth to a son without raising her, and gave it to the temple. Not only did she have no regrets, but she also commented wantonly after offering incense, without any scruples, and even seemed to be proud of it.
.
"He also told me that both of us were abandoned by people like her. The law cannot tolerate such a woman, so he wanted to save this woman and help her pass away...
"I know..." Yuan Xingtai clenched his fists excitedly, "I know that what he said were all excuses. He has lost his mind and all he wants is to satisfy his inner resentment and loss through such killings.
"And I... instead of dealing with it rationally, I remembered my miserable life experience and stood beside him.
"Yes, why don't I resent the biological mother who abandoned me?
"In those years in the army, I fought tooth and nail to kill the enemy, risking my own life just to gain a breath!
"I want the person who abandoned me to regret and let her know that I am a person with great potential and great achievements. However, I have worked hard for so long, and although my status has risen sharply, the loneliness and loss in my heart have never disappeared.
"No matter how hard I try, what's the use? I don't even know who the person who abandoned me is!"
Speaking of the sad part, Yuan Xingtai couldn't help but burst into tears.
"The endless loneliness and resentment made me close my eyes and deceive myself, believing Lian Kong's theory of the evil of reincarnation!
"That night, I disposed of the body with him and gave him suggestions for improvement. We simply placed the body in the temple hall and let the woman confess in front of the Buddha!"
Hearing this, Xu Zun and others looked solemn and depressed. No one expected that the monk's robe case ten years ago would turn out like this.
"After finishing the matter that night, I went to Xuanmiao City to deliver a message to General Yunhui!
"After sending the letter, I thought about the evil of reincarnation, so I returned to Shangyuan City, committed another case with Lian Kong, and then returned to the Hanzhou military camp.
"At that time, both of us were possessed by demons, indulging in the pleasure of salvation, seeking that short-term peace and comfort.
"Originally, when I returned to Hanzhou, I was planning to kill a few women with sins of reincarnation, but before I could take action, I received the news that Lian Kong was arrested.
"Of course I was scared at that time," Yuan Xingtai said in frustration, "I quietly returned to Shangyuan City to inquire about the news, and waited for many days before I found out that Lian Kong had not confessed me.
"However, it was not convenient for me to meet him. I just secretly took away the scriptures and Dharma scrolls he had translated and created, and finally left silently.
"But I didn't expect that Lian Kong would be given a suspended sentence by the government because he was translating two Buddhist scriptures that were rare in the world. He would not be executed until he finished translating the Buddhist scriptures.
"So, I immediately mobilized all my contacts, managed everything, and smoothed the relationship. Only then did I finally get the position of Shangyuan City garrison captain, so I could return to Shangyuan City.
"I had only one purpose at that time, and that was to use my authority to try to save Lian Kong's life.
"Unexpectedly," Yuan Xingtai shook his head helplessly, "that Liankong, who wanted to die, actually translated the Buddhist scriptures in advance, and before I returned to the city to take office, his head was already in a different place..."
Hearing this, Xu Zun was secretly surprised. No one could have imagined that the reason why Yuan Xingtai became the captain of Shangyuan City had such a hidden secret.
"Then..." Xu Zun asked, "Lian Kong has been dead for so many years, why did you pick up the butcher knife again?"
"I..." Yuan Xingtai's eyes dimmed, he shook his head and sighed, "Today's Shangyuan City is no longer the former Shangyuan City!
"The trend of Xuan Dao is prevalent, but worshiping Buddha seems to have become a sin.
"I left the protection of General Yunhui and was depressed for many years, with no chance of advancement. When I felt depressed, I picked up the scriptures that Lian Kong had written and studied them.
"Buddhas and demons are just a thought away," Yuan Xingtai sighed, "Lian Kong has such a great influence on me that even though I know that the evil of reincarnation has been misinterpreted by him, I still have a deep obsession and indulge in it.
, can’t help myself!
"Especially, when I heard about a family where a woman gave birth to a child out of wedlock but did not raise him and sent him to a temple, the demonic barrier in my heart could no longer be suppressed and finally broke out!
"Xu Tixing," Yuan Xingtai looked up at Xu Zun and said calmly, "I plead guilty. I was responsible for the two cases of women's corpses in monk's clothes in Shangyuan City. I am the one you are talking about - the killer in monk's clothes!
"Originally..." He looked at Ran Lin again, "I planned to stop after finishing the first case!
"But that night, when I was having a banquet with the Governor, the overwhelming Buddhist sounds from the Taixian Pavilion aroused my inner demons again. I couldn't control it, couldn't control it, and then..."
"Yuan Xingtai... you beast!" Ran Lin was so angry that she cursed, "The sins of reincarnation are all lies to deceive the public! You lunatic, I want you to pay for Yu Shu's life, ah..."
Seeing Ran Lin's excitement, Zhao Yu had to hold him tightly again.
"Captain Yuan," Shen Xinglian asked in disbelief, "You were responsible for Xiaoying's case. You know that Xiaoying was defiled and forced to give birth!
"If she raised that child, wouldn't she be risking her whole life? Is she really at fault?
"Have you ever thought that your mother might have some reason for abandoning you? You...you really shouldn't use this method to satisfy your private hatred!"
"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so why bother with the dust... Sigh..." Yuan Xingtai fell to the ground with regret and murmured, "Buddha said that all dharmas are empty and have no form.
Without doing anything, Lian Kong and I actually tampered with the Buddha's will and committed such a heinous crime. It is truly unforgivable!
"Now I finally understand...why Lian Kong had to finish translating the Buddhist scriptures in advance!"
After saying that, Yuan Xingtai pulled out the dagger and stabbed himself in the throat...
