Chapter 741: Jing Jiu Tells a Story

The thunderous bells rang through thatched huts, Taoist temples, rich families, small boats on the river, treasure ships on the sea, and snow-capped mountains.

Everyone heard the bell.

The giant on the other side of the sea, who was returning home, looked back towards the direction of Chaotian Continent, with a slight grin on his lips, showing a very honest and happy smile.

Gu Qing ran to the back of the treasure ship as fast as he could, and looked at the place where the bell started, his eyes were slightly moist.

In the lonely ice peak in the depths of the snow field, the cliff looks like glass, and an extremely short figure appeared there, staring at the south, not knowing what he was thinking.

If a line is drawn between the ice peak and the green mountain, the small temple in Baicheng happens to be on the line, which means that when the Snow Queen looks at the green mountain, she may see the small temple at any time. Therefore, Zenzi did not sit on the lotus seat, but lay down under the incense table and played with small wooden sticks, which became very understandable.

"I still don't understand why you didn't go to Qingshan today when the real person ascended." He Zhan squatted on the ground and said.

Zenzi said: "Ascension will fly to the highest place, no matter where you can see it, why bother to make a special trip?"

He Zhan thinks it makes sense, but what can you see when you lie under the incense table?

Sese sat on the threshold, looked to the south and said: "The real person will definitely say something before ascension, it's a pity that I can't hear it."

Zenzi said with a slight mockery: "With his temperament, he just slashed through with a sword. There is no reason to say it. Did you see him talk about it last time?"

Sese said angrily: "I was only nine years old last time! Grandma didn't take me there again, how would I know!"

Chanzi's fingers trembled, and he almost knocked down the pile of wooden sticks. He said angrily, "Anyway, that guy can't reason with people!"

Only Daoist Taiping and his old acquaintances in Jingyang know the origin of the words "kill with one sword".

He Zhan looked puzzled, and said, "Back then, Chanzi, you once went to Shenmo Peak to ask the real person, and sat with each other for a hundred days. What was the real person talking about at that time?"

Zenzi thought to himself that they were really a natural pair of Taoist couples, and sneered: "During those one hundred days, he treated me like a child and told me a story every night to lull me to sleep. What else do you think?"

Speaking of those years, his face was full of mockery, but there was deep nostalgia and reluctance in his eyes.

...

...

The bell gradually faded away, disappearing like the wind, and then Jing Jiu's voice rang out.

His voice was as light as before, without any chill or smell, and it still spread around the black jade plate like the wind.

"I was born in this world, and you are also in this world. This is the cause and effect between us. I will leave today, so I will talk to you."

Hearing Jing Jiu's words, the cultivators of various sects all sat down with serious expressions on their faces.

When they thought about it, what the real person said before ascension must be extremely important and would be of great help to their cultivation, even if they missed a single word, it would be extremely wrong. Unfortunately, they are too far away to see the real person's expression clearly, so they don't know if it will have any impact.

"I don't know much about reasoning. I can barely tell some stories. Today I want to tell three stories."

Jing Jiu spoke casually, but the expressions of those who vaguely guessed something changed slightly.

What Zhao Layue thought was that you only asked two questions, but why did you have three stories? What Cao Yuan thought was that you were the one who ascended, why did he tell my story? What Bu Qiuxiao thinks is, if the story you tell is related to me, even if you are a fairy who wants to ascend, I will... After you ascend, there are still so many disciples and grandchildren, don't you worry about it?

Under the big tree in the distance, the man in the hat stood up, stroked the rough bark with his palm, looked at the blue sky, his face reflected the color of the leaves, he didn't know what he was thinking.

The rest of the ascetics didn't think much about it.

The countless ways and wonderful meanings in the world are hidden in those seemingly simple stories, which is what Zen is best at.

It turns out that the real person wants to speak today.

...

...

Jing Jiu grabbed Ah Da's neck and put it into Zhao Layue's arms, brushed off the fuzz from his hands, took a look at the big Buddha, and began to tell the first story.

"Hundreds of years ago, there were two big families in Juye City. One family was named Shi, and the other was Cao. The two sides fought for their own interests for many years, with each winning or losing. It wasn't until the Cao family came out with a very powerful patriarch, and that patriarch married a female loose cultivator from Dongyi Dao. The Cao family completely suppressed the Shi family. Although the patriarch and his wife had deep realms, they had no hope of ascending to the top. Seeing that their lifespan was about to expire, they wanted to leave a descendant."

The beginning of this story is very ordinary, straightforward, without any meaning, but everyone is very serious.

Guo Nanshan suddenly noticed something wrong with Gu Han's expression, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Gu Han said with a pale face, "There was a shocking murder in Juye City back then."

The Gu family is an aristocratic family attached to Qingshan, and they are very clear about the family genealogy of Chaotian Continent, but Guo Nanshan doesn't know much about these things, so he asked: "So what?"

Gu Han didn't talk about the bloody case again, looked at the big Buddha in the distance and said in a low voice, "What's the last name of the sword saint?"

Guo Nanshan looked slightly different and said, "Could it be that Master Uncle is going to tell the story of the Sword Master?"

While the two were talking, the story Jing Jiu told continued.

The couple who were in charge of the Cao family knew that they were too tough and ruthless, especially since the Shi family had been suppressed terribly. After the two of them passed away, the Shi family would definitely fight back. If the child Mrs. Cao is pregnant with is an ordinary person who can't practice, that's fine. Even if the Cao family is in decline, it's fine to just live a life like this. If the child's talent is too high, for example, if he is a natural Daoist, it is easy to deal with it. If it is really not possible, they will be directly sent to the Zhongzhou School or the Qingshan School. Would the Shi family dare to do anything?

For a moment, they didn't know whether the child they should hope to conceive was a genius or a mediocre... In the midst of this complicated expectation, Mrs. Cao became pregnant.

To their great bewilderment, that child was very ordinary, nothing special, with some talents, not mediocre, but not the kind of existence that made people shine.

This is the most troublesome situation.

Schools like the Zhongzhou School and the Qingshan School definitely look down on this child.

But the Shi family will attach great importance to this child because he can cultivate, and even want to kill him.

How can they protect this child?

...

...

"It only took the couple one night to decide on a way to deal with it, which is to destroy the Shi family before they die."

Hearing Jing Jiu's words, more and more practitioners, like Gu Han, remembered the tragedy that happened in Juye City hundreds of years ago, and their expressions changed slightly.

That tragedy was so famous, because what the couple did was absolutely incredible.

The world often talks about the Miemen tragedy, but what happened to the Shi family back then was the real Miemen.

From the direct descendants of the Shi family to the stewards to the entire family, they were all killed by the Cao family in a very short period of time, and no one was left behind. Even those tycoons who had been friends with the Shi family were picked out and killed by the couple. The entire city of Juye seemed to have been washed in blood.

To do such an evil thing, the Cao family also paid a huge price, and it was gradually annihilated in the long river of history, until today it is mentioned by Jing Jiu.

"After finishing these things, the Cao couple went to Moqiu, bowed directly in front of the abbot of Guocheng Temple, and asked a question."

"...My husband and I know that the crime is serious, but is it related to this child?"

"The abbot says the child is innocent, but what you have done is really evil and stupid... You have killed all the friends of the Shi family, but there are friends, relatives and relatives. How can you kill them cleanly? After you die, will the friends of friends and relatives of relatives not transfer their hatred to that child?"

The people present felt that there were some problems when they heard the story before, and now they thought it was true.

"After listening to the words of the abbot of Guocheng Temple, Mrs. Cao realized that she had made a big mistake, but Patriarch Cao said to the abbot that she killed so many people just to show him."

"The abbot is puzzled, what is the meaning of this? Patriarch Cao said, if the world knows the origin of this child, he will not live long. If you are sure of this, abbot, you will definitely hide it for him. Only then did the abbot know that the Caos and his wife had the idea of ​​sending the child to Guocheng Temple."

Hearing this story, people couldn't guess what was going on, and countless eyes with extremely complicated emotions fell on the big Buddha.

The face of the big Buddha is covered with mottled paint skin, there is no sadness or joy, only the vicissitudes of life.

"The abbot didn't understand very much. He said that because of your decision, the Cao family has already declined. After you die, you will inevitably be counterattacked. Don't you care about the lives and deaths of those relatives and subordinates? The Cao couple looked at each other and said in unison. Mrs. Cao looked at the child in her arms lovingly, and said that as long as he can live this life safely. After saying these things, the Cao couple committed suicide, and the child naturally stayed in Guocheng Temple."

The first half of this story is over, it is very simple, but it is not simple.

The Cao couple's actions were too bloody and terrifying. I don't know if their thinking is correct, but at least that child has indeed managed to survive to this day, and has become the most remarkable figure in Chaotian Continent.

When people looked at the big Buddha, they realized that Master Dao Sheng's life experience was so bizarre that they couldn't speak for a while.

Cao Yuan said: "There are many inaccuracies in this story, such as the sentence that my mother looked at me lovingly... How do you know the look in her eyes at that time?"

Jing Jiu said, "This is the original words of March."

This story involves the secrets of Cao Yuan's life experience, and involves a bloody and cruel past, which will have an impact on his reputation and even the reputation of Guocheng Temple and Fengdao Sect.

Jing Jiu was able to know this story, of course, because of Lian Sanyue.

Many years ago by the lake, Cao Yuan was just a young monk who had just left the gate of the temple when he told her this story while wiping away tears.

Even Sanyue doesn't like articles, doesn't know how to embellish them, and is also lazy. The word love must be Cao Yuan's own description. The question is how can a newborn baby remember the look in his mother's eyes at that time? This may be Cao Yuan's imagination when he grew up, or he was not an ordinary person from birth, but his talent is so different that even the Cao family did not realize it, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why that child with ordinary talent would become so powerful in the future.

Cao Yuan was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, the family is not dead at that time, my parents want to cut the grass and roots, how can it be such a simple matter."

Jing Jiu said, "The Wind Knife Sect has quite a few surnames."

Hearing this sentence, there was an uproar in the audience.

Many years ago, Cao Yuan left Guocheng Temple and began to walk in the world of mortals. He joined the Fengdao Sect and became an ordinary disciple. He also participated in the Meihui in this capacity, shining brilliantly. Afterwards, he was beyond everyone's expectations and chose not to return to Guocheng Temple, but continued to stay in the Wind Knife Sect.

He struggled to lead this small sect to grow all the way in the dangerous Northland, until now it became the overlord.

The practitioners thought that he was nostalgic for the old love, and continued karma. Now that he heard this story and the conversation between Jing Jiu and Cao Yuan, he realized that there was another hidden story.

Cao Yuan said, "Not bad."

Jing Jiu asked, "They know?"

Cao Yuan said, "I know."

Jing Jiu said, "Do they hate you?"

"If you can't beat me, it doesn't matter if you hate me or not." Cao Yuan looked at him and said, "It's just that you tell this story of mine, what exactly are you trying to explain?"

"Not all stories have to explain something...but you can." Jing Jiu looked at the practitioners, pointed to the big Buddha and said, "His parents killed thousands of people for his birth and committed countless evil things, so he thought he was born with sin. The word "evil" was everywhere, and he couldn't wash it away. He didn't even expect to be able to atone for his sins.

Gudao Town Fengxue, this is the evaluation or admiration of Cao Yuan by the world, who would have thought that there is such a reason.

He's doing the same thing in the underworld, and it's believed he'll keep doing it.

This is indeed not atonement, but when can we be freed?

"Why can't he ascend? Because he feels that the debt is repaid. But why should he pay the debt owed by his parents? Why should the future bear the consequences of the cause of the predecessors? In short, there is one reason." Jing Jiu looked at the big Buddha and said, "You can't think about it."

Cao Yuan has guarded Baicheng for hundreds of years. Apart from the above, there are naturally other reasons, such as Lian Sanyue, but Jing Jiu doesn't want to talk about it.

This story is not about evil causes and good results, but about those three words - can't think about it.

You can't even think about it yourself, why should this day be opened for you?
