Chapter 702: A Special Gift

The setting sun had sunk into the western horizon, and it was not yet dark, but the light in the valley dimmed ahead of time.

Night is coming.

A group of four came out of the backyard and walked along the river that passed through the village towards the waterfall. There were chirping insects in the woods and grass on the roadside, and the sound of the river flowing, which made people feel refreshed. peaceful.

Ning Tao was very curious about what kind of gift Yin Renjie prepared for him, but it was not placed in the house, and he came to such a remote place. But he didn't ask, he just led Ruan Tianyin and followed the Yin family father and son.

Ruan Tianyin was obviously a little nervous, with a pair of beautiful eyes looking around, and one hand tightly grasping the handle of the magic weapon hanging on his shoulder, in a standard battle state.

Ning Tao came close to her ear and whispered, "Don't be nervous, I'm here."

It seemed that the hot air rolled into her ears, Ruan Tianyin's ears turned red, she nodded her head, but then added: "I want to protect you."

Ning Tao smiled, feeling warmly moved in his heart. Of course he doesn't need her protection, it's not bad for him to protect her, but in the face of such a sincere feeling, he is not a hard-hearted person, how could he not feel her kindness?

After walking for a while, the vision in front of him suddenly opened up, and the waterfall rushed down from the mountain peak, layer upon layer, splashing countless water splashes. There are two Japanese-style cottages at the foot of the waterfall, which are simple, but give people a clean and delicate impression.

An old man was sitting beside a pond fishing, and someone came behind him, unsure of what to do.

Ning Tao's heart moved, awakening the state of the eyesight. I was shocked when I saw this, the old man looked ordinary, and even gave people a kind and peaceful feeling, but the evil spirit emanating from his innate aura was a pitch-black mass, shrouded in darkness like a dark cloud. above his head.

With so much viciousness, even evil chiefs like Tang Tianren, Bai Sheng and Shan Yi are much inferior!

Who is this old man?

Ning Tao had never seen it before, but at this diagnosis, his heart was already murdered, and he wished to kill the old man immediately.

It is normal for him to have such an impulse. He is a natural middleman between good and evil. When encountering such a sinful villain, he will have an evil reaction. On the contrary, if he meets those particularly kind people, his heart will become very soft and kind.

Yin Renjie stopped in his tracks and said, "Friend Daoist Ning, that old man is the gift I want to give you.

"

There was no expression on Ning Tao's face. In fact, after walking this distance, he suddenly saw a sinful old man here, and he already had expectations in his heart. Therefore, he was not surprised when Yin Renjie said it.

"Is he... the Japanese invaders?" Ning Tao asked.

Yin Xun said: "You Daoist Ning is indeed a very smart person. You can tell at a glance. His name is Hirano Guangmin, and he is the brigade commander of the 91st Brigade of the 128th Division of the Japanese Invasion Army. He committed heinous crimes in China. I don’t know how many Chinese died at his hands. He was one of the few war criminals who escaped trial, and he was 92 years old. He had been living in seclusion on a small island in Hokkaido before. We found him and settled him It’s here, and today it’s given to Fellow Daoist Ning as a gift.”

The Yin family sent such a gift, which shows that the people of the Yin family have a certain understanding of the situation between him and Tiandao Medical Center, and know that he has a need for consultation money, otherwise, how could they send such a special gift?

"Fellow Daoist Ning, do you like such a gift?" Yin Renjie smiled faintly, "It's just a small gift, please accept it with a smile."

Ning Tao said indifferently: "You guys really took the trouble to prepare such a gift for me. If I accept such a gift, will I give you the mountain hoe?"

Yin Renjie smiled and said nothing.

Yin Xun said: "Be willing to give up, there is no gain if you don't give up. Fellow Daoist Ning, it's useless for you to take a mountain hoe, why don't you give it to us. If the fairy comes back in the future, we will explain it to the fairy. If you survive the catastrophe in the future If we successfully go to the fairy world, we will naturally return the mountain-opening hoe, so that it is convenient for fellow Taoist Ning to take the mountain-opening hoe to find the fairy."

These words are not splashing water, and they cover everything. If Fairy Yinyue comes back, the mountain-opening hoe is her magic weapon, so Ning Tao can still go back? If Ning Tao crossed the catastrophe and became an immortal, and came to the Yin family to dig mountains, how dare the Yin family say no? But after the ancient age, the road to heaven has been cut off, who can become a fairy?

In short, no matter what kind of result it is, it is beneficial to the Yin family. As long as Ning Tao hands over the mountain hoe, he will not be able to take it back.

"Friend Daoist Ning, what are you thinking?" Yin Renjie asked tentatively.

Ning Tao said, "Can I go talk to him?"

Yin Xun and Yin Renjie looked at each other.

Yin Renjie said: "He has stayed in China for eight years and knows Chinese. After returning to China, he has been studying Chinese culture. You can communicate with him in Chinese."

"Tianyin, wait for me here, I'll go over and talk to him." Ning Tao said.

"En." Soft Tianyin responded.

Ning Tao walked towards Hirano Kotoshi, until he came to Hirano Kotoshi, Hirano Kotoshi took a look at him.

Hirano Kotoshi showed a gentle smile at Ning Tao, nodded slightly, and then moved his eyes to look at the fish float floating in the water.

The Japanese are like this, they are very polite and seem very kind. But that's just their habit, just like pandas like to eat bamboo. People nowadays only see how cute the panda is, but how many people know that it actually eats meat, and how many people know that its other name is iron-eating beast?

Beasts are beasts, they will be peaceful when they are full, but once they are hungry, they will show their minions and eat bloodthirsty meat!

Ning Tao sat down next to Hirano Kosensitive, looked at the fish float in the water, and then glanced at the fish basket placed by the water.

The fish basket was empty, not even a single fish.

At this moment Hirano Kotoshi said: "They told me that there is a guest from Huaguo who wants to see me, is it you?"

He speaks Chinese, which is very standard.

Ning Tao nodded his head: "I'm that guest. I saw that your fish basket is empty. Is it difficult to catch fish in this pool?"

Hirano Kotoshi raised the fishing rod, and there was no hook on the fishing line under the float. He pulled the fishing line back, grabbed a ball of bait from the bait box beside him, kneaded it on the fishing line, and then carefully put the fishing line into the pool.

That's why he couldn't fall the fish.

Ning Tao smiled: "Old man, you are feeding fish, not fishing, why do you do this?"

Hirano Kotoshi said: "I am a sinful person. I committed many sins when I was young. I have experienced a lot in my life, and the past is unbearable. I believe in Buddhism now, and I don't kill. I have been a vegetarian for ten years."

"Then old man, do you feel that the crimes on your body have been alleviated?" Ning Tao asked.

Hirano Kotoshi was silent for a while before he said: "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. The Buddha said that everyone has Buddha nature, and those who do evil can become Buddhas by abandoning evil and doing good. There was a dark time in my life, and it was a great era. , I can't escape. But now my heart is peaceful, I don't hurt anyone or any living beings anymore, I devote myself to practicing Buddhism, and I am very happy now."

A cold smile emerged from the corner of Ning Tao's mouth: "The old man has learned Chinese culture very well, and I can also feel your peace and happiness from the old man."

Hirano Kotoshi pulled the fishing line back again, baited it, and put it into the pool. Then, he smiled at Ning Tao: "I like Chinese culture very much, and I especially like a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius", that is, 'If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening'. Although I pursued the truth very late, but Even if I understand the truth in the morning and die at night, it is worth it, and it is not too late. This is my situation. I understand this truth very late, but I think I am very lucky, and I am also very satisfied. Satisfaction is Greatest joy. Are you right, young man?"

Ning Tao said indifferently: "You are right, the truth is also the same. Whether it is to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, or to die in the morning and evening, it is the truth condensed by thousands of years of culture, and no one can say It doesn't make sense. But I'm very confused, and I want to ask the old gentleman a question, I wonder if the old gentleman is willing to answer me?"

Hirano Kotoshi smiled: "Uh, tell me, what's the problem?"

Ning Tao said: "The old man is calm, satisfied, and happy. What I want to ask is, what about those people who were killed by you, those who were persecuted by you and suffered all their lives?"

The smile on Hirano Kosen's face froze for a moment, and then slowly disappeared.

Ning Tao continued: "Let me give you an example. You must have done many such things. For example, you took your Japanese soldiers and rushed into a Chinese village, but you couldn't occupy it. You were worried that the village would be destroyed." To help the Chinese army, you even suspected that some of them were Chinese soldiers, so you ordered to kill all the people in that village. So your soldiers started killing, one after another, old people, children, women, and emaciated men ..."

Hirano Kosen's lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out of his mouth.

Ning Tao continued: "Those honest villagers who are unarmed and have never even seen a gun, they knelt down to you, begged for mercy, but did you give them a chance? Your soldiers stabbed you with bayonets. When you open the belly of a pregnant woman and insult the women of Huaguo, do you give those women a chance? How many times have you cut off the heads of women, children or old people with your samurai sword, and showed and showed off your sword skills to your subordinates? When you were a beast, how many women did you rape, and how many women or underage children were killed after being raped by you? When they cried and begged for mercy, did you give them a chance? ?”

"Enough!" Hirano Kotoshi said angrily.

Ning Tao smiled: "You said that the Buddha said that as long as you put down the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha. Everyone has the opportunity to pursue the truth. Now it seems that you have indeed put down the butcher's knife. You have a Buddha in your heart. You also understand the truth and get it." Happy, those who were killed by you, who will give them a chance because you lost their loved ones and suffered all their lives?"

"You, who are you!" Hirano Kotoshi could no longer maintain the peaceful state of "there is a Buddha in his heart" just now.

Ning Tao smiled indifferently: "The spokesperson of the way of heaven."
