Those who played with guns were shot to death, and those who played with knives were held hostage with knives.
The fat man tried to shoot Baililu with a gun, but was tackled by Baililu from behind. After he fell into the water, his gun was taken away, and his chest was shattered by a bullet. The tall and thin man stabbed Baililu's head with a bayonet, but his attack missed. Baililu pushed him into the water and suffocated him to death. After he was dragged out, he automatically became Baililu's prisoner.
Baililu and the tall and thin man hid behind a huge rock. The tall and thin man pointed to a dense forest in front of him and said, "Young Master, the general's order is hidden there. We can't get any closer. They have telescopes in their hands and can easily find us-----"
Baililu nodded and asked, "How many people are there?"
“There are probably about a dozen people left.”
"How many masters are there?"
“I think everyone is pretty awesome.”
"That's because you're such a loser." Baili Lu sneered. "Tell me, should I kill you with a single blow?"
“No, no—----” The tall and thin man turned pale with fear and said, “You promised me that as long as I lead you to find the general’s order, you would let me go—”
"I said so, but now I regret it." Baili Lu said unhappily. "What if you shoot me from behind when I'm fighting with the general's men? Do you know how the big shots died?"
"have no idea."
"It's like a boat capsizing in a ditch." Baili Lu said with emotion. "Look at Song Chayang, such a powerful figure, he couldn't even keep Ye Wenrou, but in the end he was shot dead by Fang Yan. Isn't it unfair?"
"No, no, I can't do such a thing. If you don't believe me, you can knock me out or tie me up with a rope."
Baili Lu thought about it and said, "That's good."
So, Baili Lu chopped the tall and thin man on the back of his neck with a knife.
The tall and thin man's eyes sank, and then he fell into the flood.
Baili Lu lifted his body out of the flood and threw it on a corner of a big rock, so that he would not fall into the water and be drowned.
Baili Lu looked in the direction of the dense forest, then buried his head in the deep water. The water was rippling, and he had already jumped out several meters away.
By the time Baili Lu climbed ashore, the general had already ordered them to escape for a long time.
Song Chayang's body was thrown on the shore. Because of the hot weather, flies were already flying around it.
Baili Lu sighed and thought, it is really sad that the Taoist idiot of the Seven Idiots of China ended up like this.
The general was worried about being tracked down, so he didn't even care about his master's body when he fled. This man's heart is colder than stone. His level of coldness and ruthlessness is outrageous.
In the past, he had a plan to take over the Jiang family, so he had always disguised himself as a handsome and elegant young man. Now that all his hopes have been shattered and he has even become a lonely ghost, he is now unscrupulous and doesn't care about anything.
Baili Lu searched the surrounding area and after confirming that General Ling and others had really left, he dragged Song Chayang's body towards the deep ditch in front.
He dug a pit and buried Song Chayang in it, then piled stones on top. He did not intend to write an inscription or erect a monument for him. He was full of sins and had offended countless people. Since we were all people in the inner world, let him get this pure land after death.
Baili Lu swam to the boulder again, slapped the tall and thin man to wake him up, and said, "The general has escaped."
The tall and thin man was shocked and said, "It's not me who tipped off the police. I was sleeping here without moving at all -"
"I know." Baili Lu nodded and said, "Come with me."
"Where are you going?"
"Come back with me."
"You want to take me in?"
"Yes."
"You are a good person."
"Is that so?" Baili Lu felt a little embarrassed by the boy's praise and said, "You know where the general's order is hidden. You can take us to find it when the time comes."
"-----" The smile on the tall and thin man's face froze, his body and mind were cold, he felt that the people outside had very bad consciences.
When Baili Lu and the tall and thin man arrived at the gathering point, Fang Yan just happened to be swimming back with the bodies of Fenghuang and Nun Jinghui.
Baili Lu hurried over to help, untied the wooden pillar from Fang Yan's waist, then lifted the wooden pillar and the nun Jinghui on it and placed them on a dry and flat place.
"Master----"
When the nuns saw the nun Jinghui who had passed away, they rushed over crying.
Baili Lu untied Nun Jinghui from the wooden pillar, then knelt quietly beside her.
Although he does not believe in gods and Buddhas, he believes in the power of faith. These women can cut off their lust and serve Buddha all their lives, which is actually something worthy of admiration.
Ye Wenrou looked at the heartbroken Fenghuang, took out a wet handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to her.
Fenghuang glanced at Ye Wenrou, took the wet handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you."
"Come back with us." Ye Wenrou said. "You should go back."
Phoenix nodded and said, "Yes, I will go back with you. I should go back too."
When being dragged towards this side by Fang Yan, Fenghuang had already thought a lot.
Perhaps, she should live a good life for herself and the people she cares about.
Ye Wenrou nodded. She didn’t think it was anything strange.
Since the Lotus Temple was destroyed, it was only natural for Phoenix to go back.
Fenghuang looked at the nuns who were gathered around Old Nun Jinghui and chanting sutras to pray for the salvation of the dead, and said, "Master Jinghui is dead, and the Lotus Temple is destroyed. I and their families are gone. I want to go back to Yanjing. I want to take good care of them, I want to take them to beg for alms, and I want to help them rebuild the Lotus Temple. So, I want to go back."
Ye Wenrou was in awe of the woman and said, "If you need any help, just ask."
Fenghuang looked up at Ye Wenrou and said seriously, "It's perfectly normal for him to like you----"
Ye Wenrou was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond to Fenghuang's words.
This made her feel a little dissatisfied with herself, and she thought that she should have nodded and said "yes, that's it" earlier.
Fang Yan knew the tall and thin man. When he was at the top of Yijian Peak, he was chased and besieged by countless people. The tall and thin man was one of them - a minor role with little presence.
The tall and thin man also obviously saw Fang Yan. He hid behind Baili Lu and didn't dare to get close. He lowered his head for fear that Fang Yan would recognize him.
Fang Yan pointed at the tall and thin man and asked, "Where did you capture the prisoners?"
Baili Lu grinned and said, "I didn't find you, but I found two idiots. I killed one of them, and I caught the other one to help lead the way. It was indeed General Ling who did it, but this beast has already run away with his men. He left in a hurry, worried that we would catch up with him, and he didn't even care about his master's body. How did you become an opponent of such a scum? It's chilling to think about it."
"It's because he's a scumbag that I became his rival ---" Fang Yan said expressionlessly. "Justice and evil, light and darkness are natural rivals. This is destined."
"You shot the master to death with one shot, you are really evil-------" Baili Lu said. He pointed at the tall and thin man and said, "Don't kill this guy, he knows where General Ling and his men were hiding before, and I plan to keep him to lead us there--------If you don't get rid of the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze. It's hard to sleep well at night when you are against a scum like General Ling who will do anything to achieve his goals. You should find a way to get rid of him-------"
Fang Yan nodded and said, "It's up to you to decide."
He walked to the group of nuns chanting sutras, and said with a heavy expression: "The living cannot be resurrected, so please accept my condolences. Master Jinghui believed in Buddhism and served Buddha all her life, so it is natural for her to return to the embrace of the Buddha now."
A middle-aged nun looked at Fang Yan and said, "Donor Fang Yan, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly--------"
"We have to leave this dangerous place. Master Jinghui is gone, and the Lotus Temple has been flooded. I would like to discuss with you all, how to deal with Master Jinghui's body? What plans do you have for your future lives?"
The nuns all looked towards Fenghuang. They had been living in seclusion in the mountains for many years and had lost contact with all their family members. They really didn't know what to do in the future.
Fenghuang wiped the tears from her face and said, "Master Jinghui will naturally be cremated according to her wishes. When the time comes, we will place her ashes in the flood and let her merge with the mountain into one."
"The Lotus Temple is destroyed. Uncles and sisters, please follow me back to Yanjing. I will take care of your daily life, and then collect alms to rebuild the Lotus Temple."
Fang Yan nodded and said, "That's fine - are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Fenghuang looked at Fang Yan, and her mood miraculously calmed down. All those restless fantasies and the guilty feeling disappeared.
The phoenix is reborn from the ashes.
She no longer lives for herself, she lives for the people she cares about.
When Fang Yan threw the torch into the pile of firewood, the dry firewood that he had specially found burst into flames.
The nuns gathered together and chanted the "Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva".
The flames illuminated the sky, and a kind and gentle old man passed away.
Fang Yan looked at the dancing flames and thought, General Ling has taken another life. (To be continued)
