What happened after that?
Lu Changsheng asked curiously.
"After that?"
The enchanting woman listened for a while and then said with a smile.
"Later on, the fox skin was given to the princess, but the emperor went back on his word and didn't allow the scholar to become the emperor. In a fit of rage, the scholar killed the princess. After that, the emperor was enraged and wanted to put him to death by a thousand cuts. However, the scholar escaped and wandered the world alone.
"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha, do you think this story is funny? "
The enchanting woman laughed as she spoke. She fiddled with the bonfire, thinking about something.
"Amitabha, excellent, excellent!"
The old monk spoke again and shook his head.
The enchanting woman looked at the old monk and asked, "Monk, let me ask you, if you encountered such a thing, how would you deal with it?"
She asked.
The old monk pondered for a while and then said, "When will there be an end to revenge? Everything is karma. The white fox's fate was extremely tragic, and the scholar eventually lived a poor life. In this case, fate will rise and fall, and it will be gone with the wind."
He said this to persuade her to let go of the hatred in her heart and not to be stubborn.
However, the enchanting woman smiled.
"You monks are always like this, always asking others to let go of their obsession. After all, the knife is not stabbed in your body, so you naturally can't feel the pain."
After saying this, she looked at the curly-bearded man and said.
"What about you?"
The curly-bearded man drank a mouthful of wine. He took a deep breath and then said, "A demon is a demon. The relationship between a human and a demon is doomed. One dies, and the other loses everything. In the end, the fate is over."
He was a little unreasonable, so in the end, he said nothing more.
"Hahaha, karma of heaven and earth, in your eyes, demons are doomed to die? All things have spirits, and since everything is born, there is a reason for it. You, a Taoist, have cultivated in vain. "
She chuckled, and her eyes were full of sarcasm.
Then, she looked at Lu Changsheng and asked indifferently, "What do you think of this matter, Young Master?"
Lu Changsheng stared at the bonfire. In the wooden mask, only a pair of extremely clear eyes could be seen, but the appearance could not be seen. However, even a pair of eyes could make people feel lost.
He threw a piece of firewood into the fire.
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Kill his entire family and destroy his entire country. Don't let a single one of those who are tainted with sin go."
Eight words, a simple answer.
This answer surprised everyone.
Even the enchanting woman was surprised.
Most importantly, Lu Changsheng's answer was unexpected.
"I've sinned, I've sinned. Almsgiver, if that's the case, you've created more sins. Why bother?"
The old monk shook his head and apologized profusely.
But Lu Changsheng just smiled.
"Everything comes from a cause, and everything has an effect. You sow the cause, and you reap the effect. The scholar sowed the cause for his own selfish desires. The white fox died in the hands of the scholar, but there will always be someone who will put an end to everything."
"Even if I escape in this life, I'll have to pay for it in my next life. A debt must be paid, a life must be paid."
"Buddhism stubbornly makes people let go of everything. Dao stubbornly makes people forget everything."
"But if there's a cause, then there's an effect. Why should I let it go? I'll have to face the consequences of my actions."
"That's karma!"
Lu Changsheng's tone was calm.
Everyone could persuade you to be magnanimous, but how many people would be able to persuade you when things happened to you?
Humans weren't saints, and they had to take revenge when they had a grudge.
However, at this moment, a hoarse voice slowly rang out.
"Everyone, are you interested in listening to a story?"
The voice rang out. For a moment, everyone was curious. Then, they came to their senses. In the corner, there was a beggar who was covered in dirt.
The beggar sat up. He looked very old, and his hair was messy and smelly. His dirty clothes were stained with oil.
Everyone was silent. They didn't know what kind of story this beggar would tell.
Leaning against the wall, the beggar's eyes were lifeless. He slowly opened his mouth. Maybe because he didn't drink much water, his throat was dry, so his voice sounded very hoarse.
"Many years ago, there was a scholar. He was originally from a family of scholars, but because of his family's decline, he knew very well that studying hard was the only way out."
"He studied day and night, day and night, hoping that he would be able to pass the imperial examinations next year. But there's no such thing as' hard work pays off '. Sometimes, hard work doesn't necessarily pay off."
"Thirteen years, he stayed in his humble abode for a full thirteen years. Spring passed and autumn came, and it snowed heavily. That year, he hadn't passed the imperial examinations for thirteen years, and he became the joke of the village."
"But that year, a white fox barged into his house. With just one glance, he fell in love with the white fox, because no one liked to stay with a poor scholar like him."
"He took good care of the white fox, and no matter what good things he had, he would give them to the white fox, because the white fox was the only one who didn't dislike him."
"After that, the white fox recovered from her injuries and left. The scholar was sad for a long time, but soon, a woman came to his house. The scholar knew with one glance that it was the white fox."
"He was not afraid, but joyful. He was very happy, and then the man and the fox fell in love. They lived in a small humble abode for three beautiful years."
"Until one day, the white fox told the scholar to participate in the imperial examinations. Because the white fox knew that the imperial examinations were the scholar's greatest wish, she supported the scholar."
"In the end, the scholar was convinced by the white fox. He participated in the imperial examinations and became the top scholar. In a short period of time, he became the target of countless factions."
"However, the scholar always remembered that in his humble abode, there was still a white fox waiting for the good news of him becoming the top scholar."
"However, at that time, the scholar caught the eye of the princess of the dynasty. The princess was unruly and willful, and she was also extremely selfish. The scholar understood that if he refused the princess's love, glory, splendor, wealth, and honor would not be a small matter. According to the princess's personality, she would not let the white fox go."
"So the scholar stayed. He became the emperor's son-in-law, but not a single day went by that he was happy. He stood in the princess's residence day and night, gazing at the starry sky. He knew that there was someone who loved him waiting for him to return."
"However, the scholar understood even more that this love went against the heavens. He also knew that if he returned, it would only bring harm to the white fox. He was silent and depressed."
"However, there was no such thing as an airtight wall. When the princess found out about the white fox, she flew into a rage. However, she did not tell the scholar. Instead, she joined forces with the emperor and pretended to be sick. She said that she needed the white fox's blood essence in order to be treated."
"Because the princess knew that if the demon race lacked blood essence, they would not be able to live for more than three years. So she ordered the people of the world to search for the white fox. She wanted to capture the white fox."
"The scholar did not know any of this. He was only afraid that someone would find the white fox and harm the white fox for their own selfish desires. So the scholar took the initiative to ask for permission. He brought his troops and returned to his humble abode."
"Three years have passed! The white fox was still the white fox from back then. The scholar and the white fox looked at each other. In that one glance, the scholar understood that the white fox loved him deeply. However, the white fox also understood that in these three years, the scholar had never forgotten her. "
"The white fox understood everything about the scholar. So she took her own blood essence, hoping that the scholar would have a better life."
"She understood that she was a demon! The scholar was a human. Since ancient times, it has been against the natural order of the world for humans and demons to fall in love. "
"The white fox chose to let go of everything. However, the scholar did not understand the white fox. In order to make the white fox give up, he made the white fox hand over her blood essence. He did not know how much harm this would cause to the white fox."
"All he wanted was to use ruthlessness to sever all emotions."
"After the white fox took the blood essence, the scholar decided to leave. However, after that day, no one knew that the scholar cried silently for an entire night."
"However, after the white fox's blood essence was taken, the princess told the scholar everything. That day, the scholar flew into a rage and left the princess' residence."
"This made the princess even more furious. She immediately ordered people to hunt the white fox. She even had the necromancer transform into the scholar's appearance. He personally killed the white fox and skinned her."
"Just like that, the blood-stained white fox's skin appeared before the scholar."
"At that moment, the scholar was stunned."
"In the end, the scholar drew his sword and killed the princess."
"He left the Imperial Capital and came to my humble abode."
"In the messy humble abode, the scholar found a half-burnt envelope."
"Do you know what was written in the envelope?"
The beggar paused for a moment.
In the Mountain God Temple, everyone was silent.
