Chapter Twenty-Five: The Fire of the Whale

As the qi in the umbrella spread, my consciousness suddenly became in a trance. But in just a moment, clarity was restored.

But then I was surprised to find that the scenery around me had completely changed.

The wooden building is gone, and what I am in is a busy city that I don't know what dynasty it is.

I was completely confused, although I vaguely thought that this situation should be related to the Five Treasure Umbrella, but in a strange and distant dynasty, the blind man and others were not around, I still felt indescribably weird.

"Let's go! Hurry up! ”

A violent shout woke me from my hesitation.

When I turned my head, I saw a scene that made people stunned.

A group of ancient soldiers in armor, wielding whips, were walking towards this direction with dozens of men and women in iron chains.

The 'prisoners' who were escorted were all monks and nuns wearing monks' robes.

These monks, nuns, and monks, with their ragged robes and dirty faces, have obviously suffered a lot.

Judging by their numb expressions and fierce soldiers, this may be the last leg of their journey to the end of their lives.

I can't help but wonder if all dynasties have had a lot of respect for Buddhism. Perhaps occasionally some monks and nuns who do not abide by the precepts are punished by the government, but it is not enough to deal with monks and nuns on such a large scale.

"Hehe, it's all dead-eyed, and it's your own fault." A slightly shrill voice came from behind him.

Turning back at the sound of the voice, I saw a man in tattered clothes and a beggar looking at the passing escort team at the base of the wall.

An old woman dressed plainly passed in front of the beggar, took out a pancake from a paper bag, and placed it in a broken bowl in front of the beggar.

"Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Auntie." The beggar hurriedly thanked him gratefully.

The old woman walked by, and the beggar hurriedly grabbed the oil cake and devoured it.

At this time, the old woman suddenly stopped, looked at the team escorting the monks and nuns, and sighed, "Amitabha, do evil......

Before the words fell, the beggar suddenly jumped up, pointed at her and shouted to the soldiers: "She is a remnant of the Buddhist family!" She is a remnant of Buddhism! ”

After shouting twice, two soldiers rushed to the city, and after asking a few questions, they chained the old woman.

The beggar picked up the bag of oil cakes dropped by the old woman, shrunk his head and ran to a soldier, first with a smiling face, and then asked the soldier with a shy face if there was a reward for reporting the remnants of the Buddhist family.

The soldier gave him a disgusted look, and without saying a word, he walked forward.

The beggar, however, was unwilling to follow and continued to beg for rewards.

As a result, the soldier was annoyed, and he turned around with a long whip.

"It's a good fight, why don't you kill this dog's grandson." I cursed in a low voice.

Now I recognize the beggar's identity.

I hadn't seen him, but I knew his voice.

He is the goatee of the future... Duan Wuyi.

It was getting late, the people in the market dispersed, and it began to rain.

Duan Wuya, who was smoky and bruised, shrank under an eaves and gritted his teeth to eat all the oil cakes, wiped his mouth, and said hatefully: "This account Buddha has written down, one day Dao Ye will soar, and you will have your good fruits to eat." ”

Buddha?

I became more and more puzzled in my heart, could it be that he was a monk before Duan Wuyan?

The cruel words were put down, but the whip he ate was too heavy.

I barely managed to get out of the market, and I didn't go far before I passed out in the rain.

After a long time, a carriage hurried by and stopped beside him.

In the carriage was a well-meaning rich man, and when he saw the situation, he let the handlebar carry Duan Wuya into the car and take him home for treatment.

I watched it all from the sidelines, and became more and more sure that it was a dream.

Here, it seems, there are no boundaries of time and space at all, only the development of events.

Duan Wuya's injuries are getting better day by day, and after cleaning up, he also has some human appearance.

In order to repay the grace of saving his life, he stayed in the rich family's house, got up early and worked late, and worked really hard.

The rich man and his wife were good people, and when they saw that he was diligent in their hands and feet, they treated him like his own family, and never looked at him as a person.

Until one day, the rich man took Duan Wuya out, and when he went out, the sky was clear and refreshed.

But three days later, on the afternoon of the torrential rain, Duan Wuya carried back the body of the rich man.

Duan Wuya cried to his mother in tears, saying that in order to go home early, the master was in a hurry in the rain, passing by a mountain stream, and accidentally fell into the water. Although he tried his best to save his master's life, he still failed to save his master's life.

"It's paralyzed, but it's a great dog."

I clearly saw that he encouraged the rich man to brave the rain to hurry, and when he passed by the mountain stream, he personally pushed the rich man into the water.

Killing a life-saver is just the beginning.

In the days that followed, Duan Wuya expressed his remembrance and condolences to the rich from time to time, and did his best to comfort and care for the widowed housewife.

It is said that love arises over time, this is human nature, and things are inevitable.

After three years, the housewife of this family finally couldn't help herself, and the man who accompanied her day and night achieved good things.

Women are desperate for men, but such feelings were never allowed at the time.

As a result, men began to encourage women to sell their family property and go to a different place with themselves to change their identities and continue to live.

But no matter how delicate the abacus is, there is still an accident.

Until Duan Wuya and the woman were put in prison, he didn't understand why the news leaked.

Until that evening, someone came to visit him in prison.

This person only asked Duan Wuya one sentence:

Do you remember that year, the woman who gave you an oil cake at the East City Gate, but you sent her to prison and lost her life?

Before leaving, the man said in a deep voice without looking back: That's my stepmother, she is a good person, but it's a pity that she kindly fed the wolf.

Turning around the Tiansheng Hall, as soon as Duan Wuya was escorted to the lobby, he showed a desperate look.

He found that the person sitting behind the official case was the same person who had visited him in the prison last night.

The shock was settled, and the man announced the verdict indifferently, and the woman was handed over to the village chief of the rich family for punishment.

Turning to face Duan Wuya, his tone became cold and almost crazy:

"Shang Shi has the punishment of cannon branding, and besides that, this official really can't think of what else to do with you."

When the man was tightly bound to the blood-red copper pillar by the iron chain thick of his arm, he let out a terrible scream.

With this scream, I was in a trance again, and when I came back to my senses, I had returned to the wooden building.

"What happened to you?" Xiao Lei looked at me in amazement and asked.

I waved my hand and motioned for him not to ask any more questions.

When I looked down, I saw that the ugly woman who was originally desperate was turning her head, staring at Duan Wuya who was at a loss with resentment in her eyes.

"Woe to you, what's wrong?" Pan Ying couldn't help but ask me loudly.

Before I could speak, I heard the ugly woman cry out heartbreakingly:

"Heavenly ...... How could I fall in love with such a person! It's you, it's you who hurt my husband! ”

Duan Wuya was shocked, and then showed a hideous expression: "So what? Up to now, no one can stop the good deeds of the Buddha, and you will all die! ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the ugly woman and threw her out of the fence.

By this time, the molten human oil had already gathered on the first floor to form a pool, and the previous frozen ghouls had been submerged overhead.

Although I don't know what the consequences of an ugly woman falling into the pool of human oil corpses will be, judging from Duan Wuya's madness, it will definitely not end well.

"Yang Qian!" Di Jinlian suddenly shouted.

At the same time, I saw a figure jumping to Duan Wuya's side very quickly, climbing over the railing, and just reaching out and getting the ugly woman back who was thrown out.

When I saw this man's appearance, I was dumbfounded.

It's actually Pan Ying!

It took me a while to react, among the five ghosts in the umbrella, Yang Qian, the mountain spirit, was an existence that came and went without a trace.

Di Jinlian shouted that just now, giving her instructions.

Yang Qian possessed Pan Ying at a critical moment, so she snatched the ugly woman back in a moment.

"What are you doing in a daze...... If you don't hurry up and help, I can't hold it anymore! Pan Ying shouted with grinning.

The blind man reacted and rushed forward first.

"No one can spoil Lao Tzu's good deeds!"

Duan Wuya suddenly let out a loud roar, and flames suddenly burst out of the seven orifices at the same time, and he rushed towards Pan Ying like a burning man.

"Do you think I can't cure you?"

Monk Jinghai said a sharp voice, and with a wave of his robe sleeves in the air, it seemed to send out an invisible force, lifting Duan Wuya aside.

"Old girl, I finally did a human thing." I wiped a cold sweat.

Unexpectedly, Jing Hai suddenly shouted in a sharp voice: "Hurry up and get that girl back, I really can't cure this guy who is covered in fire!" ”

"Damn, I knew you couldn't be trusted!"

I turned back and stretched out my hand to Xiao Lei, "Is there any tightrope?" ”

Xiao Lei seemed to hesitate for a moment, shook his head, but took out a bundle of rope with steel claws attached to it from his backpack and handed it to me.

I reacted, this was the equipment given by Wang Xizhen, and I didn't think much about it immediately, hooked the fence, shook off the rope, and slid down to the second floor.

As soon as his feet landed, he immediately turned out the Yin Yang Knife and ran towards Duan Wuya's side.

Pan Ying and the ugly woman were pulled up by the blind man and one of Wang Xizhen's bodyguards.

As soon as I ran to the front, I heard Pan Ying say anxiously: "Oh no, she seems to be dead!" ”

"She's a living corpse......"

I said it casually, and the next second I was stunned.

The ugly woman's body was stiff, her eyes were glazed, and she really looked like she was dead.

An ominous premonition instantly came to his heart, and he saw Duan Wuya stunned in place, raising his head as if he was staring at something. I jerked and looked up at the top of the pillar.

Suddenly, I saw that in the two eyes of the bust woman statue at the top, two strong beams of light, one red and one blue, appeared.

At the same time, the body of the bronze statue also turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hahahaha......"

Duan Wuya suddenly let out a wild laugh: "Xuan'er, you are worthy of being my woman, you still haven't let me down." Abandoning the physical body, returning to the ghost body, the earth fire ignites, and as soon as the whale comes out, we can become ghosts and immortals together......"

Before he could finish speaking, his smile froze on his face.

I was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, my eyes widening in horror.

The bronze statue at the top of the column has been burned red in an instant......

What is terrifying is that the bronze statue actually moved......
