Chapter 1019 Self-reflection (12)
Under the cool moonlight.
A series of illusory figures with snow-white silk threads winding behind their backs, holding vermilion peach wood swords, surrounded the white and solemn "Eight Gates" of Daqin Temple.
Su Wu was surrounded by three people from the Li family, Xinghun, a member of the Sanyang Society, and many young children.
He recited the mantra in a low voice, pinched it with his fingers, and then said: "Seal!"
The incarnation of the Eight Paths of Thought standing in front of the "Eight Gates" of Daqin Temple moved at the same time as him, wedged the scarlet peach wood sword in his hand into the chaotic void - the incarnation of the Eight Paths of Thought instantly turned into colorful lights, heading towards Daqin from various directions. Concentrated in the center of the temple!
The colorful brilliance blended with each other and dispersed into a chaotic mist, wrapping the snow-white Daqin Temple in the mist. It gradually disappeared without a trace in reality and under the naked eyes of everyone present!
‘Da Qin Temple’ was sealed in the ‘Eight Gates of Mysterious Escape Technique’!
Unless you are an expert who is proficient in the method of Qimen Dunjia, you will never find the Daqin Temple when passing through this place. This will prevent anyone from accidentally entering the Daqin Temple in Wanshan and encountering dangers there!
After covering up the existence of Daqin Temple in Wanshan, Su Wu turned to look at Wu Wenyuan and said to him: "Old man Wu, please teach everyone about the return of the soul to oneself, and then we will meet in front of the tea stall where we met before. "
"good!"
Wu Wenyuan nodded, summoned the Sanyang Society disciples, and asked them to return to their flesh shells. Everyone met at the tea stall at the intersection of the street near Daqin Temple.
The flesh shells of the Sanyang congregation members were not all gathered in one place, but were scattered in various directions around them.
After all the believers agreed, they each moved their seals and recited the eight-character mantra, "Vacuum hometown, no biological parents." Orange flames ignited on their souls, and the flames swallowed up their souls, making them instantly invisible. No trace at all.
Wu Wenyuan turned around and bowed to Su Wu, and then attracted orange flames, bringing his soul back into his body.
At this time, only Su Wu and a few other "Li family members" were left on the scene, as well as the twelve teenagers and children who had been rescued from Daqin Temple. After Su Wu stabilized their minds previously, he had already figured out the origins of these young children who were regarded by the Daqin Sect as containers for cultivating the 'Holy Infant'.
Among the twelve, eight were children from villagers in the villages surrounding Wanshan.
When these children were young, they all had the experience of coming into contact with the Daqin Sect due to sneakiness, illness, and other reasons. Some children, like Su Wu, lost their parents early and stayed in the homes of uncles, aunts, and grandmothers.
Some parents are still alive, but they themselves have been weak and sick since childhood.
Among the remaining four, three were orphans adopted by the Daqin Tzu Chi Hall. They were between three and nine years old when they were adopted.
There is only one child, who was recently lured by the Daqin Sect from outside. However, this child is also a street beggar. He originally planned to eat and drink in the Daqin Sect’s Tzu Chi Hall, but he did not expect that he had already been selected as a saint by the Daqin Sect. Ying, when he went to seek refuge in the charity hall established by the Daqin Sect, he was sent into the tiger's mouth.
"Don't worry, we will send you back to your respective homes later.
Don't be afraid. "Su Wu touched the head of a child and talked to the eight children who originally lived nearby. After calming their emotions, Su Wu looked at the remaining four people and said, "You don't have to I'm worried that if Daqin Temple is destroyed, my family will not leave you without a place to stay. "
"yes!
Don't worry though! "Li Xiongzhen, who had always been taciturn, now smiled kindly, looked at the youngest of the orphans, only five or six years old, and said, "My family will not leave you without a place to live. It’s okay for you to live in my house! "
He turned back and looked at Li Xiongbiao, who was also full of joy, and said, "I don't know how happy the old man should be to see so many children at home!"
The number of people in the Jinliu Li family has gradually become thinner in this generation, which has become a worry for Li Bojiang, the head of the Li family.
Li Bojiang and several of his brothers fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty when they were young. During the journey, the brothers either suffered hidden injuries or their first wives died early and did not want to marry again. Due to various reasons, , when the bloodline was passed down to the Xiong generation, there were only two cousins, Xiong Biao and Xiong Lian, and one cousin, Li Wenjuan.
In Heihu's generation, Li Xiongbiao and his wife only gave birth to one child, Heihu.
Li Xiongzhen's wife suffered a difficult childbirth. Not only did the fetus in her belly lose its life, but his wife also almost died. From then on, she could not have any more children.
Xiongzheng and his wife have always wanted to adopt a child, but have never found a suitable one.
He never thought that during this visit to the Daqin Temple, he would fall in love with one of the orphans, the youngest of the orphans, only five or six years old.
When Li Xiongbiao heard what Xiongzhen said, his face became even more joyful. He looked at the orphans, grinned and said: "You don't have a place to stay, just stay with our Li family. You won't be left behind." Two meals a day!”
Several orphans who had no place to stay or a place to stay were originally worried and confused about their future.
Now that I heard the words of assurance from several members of the Li family, I felt a lot of warmth in my heart. I wanted to kowtow to the Li Xiongbiao brothers on the spot, but they stopped me.
Less than half an hour later.
Su Wu led everyone to meet with the Sanyang Society disciples in front of the tea stall.
Wu Wenyuan led everyone from the Sanyang Club to Su Wu's side. His expression looked a little strange and he looked quite heavy. Su Wu looked at the seven or eight Sanyang Society believers behind him and knew why his mood had changed like this in such a short period of time.
——When they left the Daqin Temple earlier, there were still thirteen or four Sanyang disciples who gathered around Wu Wenyuan.
Now that the believers' souls have returned to their bodies, there are only seven people gathered in front of the tea stall.
The less than half of the disciples had already slipped away without saying goodbye.
The Sanyang Society originally had only a few people, but after what happened tonight, it suffered another heavy blow. What kind of trouble could seven or eight Sanyang Society members create? If they could not attract outsiders to join the sect, this branch of the White Lotus Sect would probably collapse.
Wu Wenyuan bowed to Su Wu with a look of shame: "It's all my fault for electing such an incense master and sending the Sanyanghui brothers into a pit of fire.
That's why they felt resentful and left the Sanyang Society.
Please King Ming punish me! "
As he spoke, Wu Wenyuan was about to kneel to the ground. Su Wu grabbed him, shook his head, and said: "A group of people gather together and work hard all day long for a goal that is empty and has no meaning. Halfway through It is also possible to quit when you are tired and to leave when you are afraid of hardships and dangers.
These brothers are able to persist until now because they are grateful for your virtue, Mr. Wu.
There is nothing wrong with them.
Now that the Sanyang Society wants to "do big things", it must first ask itself, why do they want to "do big things"?
What is the purpose of "anti-Qing and restoration of Ming"?
In the final analysis, there was no difference between the emperors of the Qing Dynasty and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
If it's just for the Zhu family, the Aixinjueluo family, or the Wang family, the Li family, and the Liu family for generations to come, then what's the point of "doing something big"?
Until we can 'self-reflect' on who this 'big thing' is for, all of our actions, although meaningful, are of little significance.
Nowadays, all brothers must have many confusions in their hearts. They don’t know where to go in the future, and they don’t know the meaning of their actions. In this way, they are confused about their own future and the future of Sanyang Society. They don’t want to Brothers who are still in the association may as well speak out their wishes now.
If I can be satisfied, I will try my best to satisfy you. "
Su Wu's words contained a power to soothe people's hearts.
After he finished speaking, someone raised his hand first. After Su Wu nodded in response, that person looked at Wu Wenyuan, who had a sad face, and said, "Uncle Wu, I haven't been home for a year. When I left, , my wife became pregnant... Calculating the time, my child should have been born by now...
I, I want to go home..."
Wu Wenyuan lowered his head and sighed, but did not speak.
"This is what it should be." Su Wu nodded, and two dark arms emerged from the shadows around him, dragging out a wooden box. The wooden box, which was two feet long and more than a foot high, was covered with When it was opened, gold and silver intertwined with yellow and white light were revealed, as well as strings of brand-new copper coins.
Su Wu casually took out a few slings of copper coins, a few gold and silver ingots, and some armor-horse charms and evil-proof self-defense charms and handed them to the person who spoke, and said: "I just searched the Daqin Temple and found The treasury of this Daqin Temple.
I originally planned to share the gold and silver among the brothers, but some people left early and left without saying goodbye... but there was no way.
Most of the gold and silver here will be distributed to the brothers, and the rest will be put into the treasury of the Sanyang Society, and Mr. Wu will be responsible for depositing it into the account.
Whether you go or stay, you will receive gold and silver. "
The Sanyang cultivator who missed his child and wanted to go home, after taking the money and charms, looked at the yellow and white items in the box, and then looked at the wealth in his hand, he did some calculations in his heart, and suddenly felt that Su What Wu said was true. He swallowed his saliva and suddenly regretted his rash decision to leave the Sanyang Society.
After that, three more people proposed to leave the Sanyang Society.
The Sanyang Club, which originally had only seven people, now lost four more people, leaving only Wu Wenyuan and the two and a half young men he adopted.
Su Wu also divided the gold and silver money among the three people. Wu Wenyuan refused to accept this: "I have no credit for what happened tonight, but I have a big fault. If I hadn't known people well, Sanyang Society would not have declined to this point." situation.
My share of money should also be put into the treasury!
I feel guilty and really don’t want to accept it! "
He insisted on this, and Su Wu didn't force it anymore. He just assigned tasks to everyone, sending the children back first, and agreed to gather in front of the 'Eternal Life Archway' in Wanshan after the tasks were completed.
