Chapter 3381 The Choice of Humulus
It took half a cup of tea before Grandma Chen calmed down again. She turned her head to look at the main room very naturally. There is also a reclining chair at the entrance of the main room, which is where Chen Ming reads, but the Chen family's grandma's gaze falls, and she sees Chen Ming holding an ancient book in his hand, squinting his eyes and struggling to read it. There is a young book boy serving. However, the two of them at this moment were like clay sculptures and woodcarvings, they couldn't even move, one was flipping through a book, and the other was burning a stove with a bamboo fan in his hand. Not to mention them, even the flame in the small stove was still under the kettle.
"Big...Master?" The Chen family's grandma seemed to understand something, and hurriedly struggled to get up from the reclining chair. The reclining chair can be swayed, and the Chen family's grandma usually has to rely on the support of her younger nephew to get up, how can she get up in a panic at this time?
The man smiled slightly, took a step forward, and carefully helped the Chen family's grandma up. Seeing the man personally supporting her, the Chen family's grandma became even more frightened and hurriedly wanted to salute. The man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite. Although you are young, you are already old. If you salute this old man, I will feel sorry for you!"
The grandma of the Chen family felt a strong force to stop her, so she simply stopped saluting, and asked cautiously: "Master is looking for me... Is there something wrong?"
"Well..." The man nodded, "My name is Xiao Hua, you can call me Daoist Xiao. This time I came here to ask you to prove something!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Hua stopped for a while, the smile on his face disappeared, and asked: "You must already know what it is?"
"Master Xiao??" The old lady of the Chen family was already old, and she never heard Xiao Hua's last words clearly, instead she exclaimed in surprise, "You... Are you that Reverend Xiao?"
Xiao Hua was taken aback for a moment, as if he had thought of something, he glanced at Xinxin, and asked: "I don't know who the Daoist Xiao you are talking about...is it?"
"Reverend Xiao, I'm talking about the immortal rice!" Chen's grandma said with excitement on her face, "That rice is called Master Xiao! Oh, it should be said... the immortal rice bestowed by Master Xiao! "
Grandma Chen's words were a little unclear, and even a little incoherent, but Xiao Hua could hear clearly, and he touched his nose embarrassedly. He nodded and said, "Well, you are right, I am that Daoist Xiao!"
"Master Xiao, Master Xiao, you are truly a living Bodhisattva who has given birth to Buddhas of all families!" Grandma Chen took two steps forward. He grabbed Xiao Hua's Taoist robe and said, "Thirty years ago, our Jiangshui Town was hit by a disaster, and all the rice crops were withered. If it weren't for the fairy seeds of Master Xiao, several children in my family would have starved to death! You old man He is the true Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves suffering and is more merciful than any Amitabha Buddha..."
After hearing the old lady of the Chen family say a few words, the mood calmed down a little, Xiao Hua said with a smile: "Since you know the old man, then things will be easy! Just take a look. Do you know him?"
talking,
With a wave of Xiao Hua's hand, the imprisoned six-eared macaque was taken out by Xiao Hua, but at this time, the six-eared macaque had already transformed into the appearance of Zhenkong!
"Ah?" Seeing the six-eared macaque, the grandma of the Chen family was startled at first, and her eyes were ruthless. However, she hurriedly backed away in a moment, and in a hurry, she fell back and fell down. There is no need for Xiao Hua to raise his hand. Xinxin has already supported the Chen family's grandma by the side! The Chen family grandma just stood still, she immediately turned her head and looked in the direction of the main room, the hatred in her eyes disappeared. Instead, it gave birth to a look of fear.
"Humulus, don't be afraid!" Xiao Hua said softly, "This ferocious beast has been imprisoned by the old man, and can no longer harm anyone! The old man came here today just to tell you the truth and avenge your parents!"
"For...revenge for my parents...?" Chen's grandma heard. The hunched figure trembled, the slightly frightened eyes lit up again, and the lips trembled, "But...but the revenge of my parents...has been avenged!"
Xiao Hua frowned slightly, thought for a moment, pointed at the six-eared macaque and said: "Do you think this is the real Zhenkong, or a fake Zhenkong?"
"This..." Grandma Chen hesitated for a moment, looked at Xiao Hua and Xinxin again, and gritted her teeth, "This is naturally a fake Zhenkong!"
"But when Chun Zang asked you, why did you say that it was Zhenkong?" Xiao Hua naturally knew that the Chen family's grandma would answer like this, so he still asked.
"No, Master Chunzang didn't ask me!" Chen's grandma seemed to remember the situation clearly, and replied, "It was that big pig named Zhenjie who asked me!"
Xiao Hua naturally wouldn't care about this detail, but waved his hand and said: "And no matter who asked, the old man wants to ask you, you know that this is not the real Zhenkong, why do you say he is real?"
"Hahaha..." At this point, the Chen family's grandmother seemed to have figured it out, and laughed loudly, "Master Xiao, you are always a god, and you don't know what the little girl thinks! I can't tell who is a good person and who is a bad person, how dare the little girl talk nonsense? Besides, the real Zhenkong killed my parents, I am powerless to avenge them, and this fake Zhenkong beat the real Zhenkong to death , It’s too late for me to thank him, why should I expose him?”
"Hey, why is hatred so deep-rooted?" Xiao Hua sighed, "Already nearly fifty years have passed, and you still haven't let it go!"
"How could I let go? I used to have parents who loved me. Although my home is dilapidated, I have everything with my parents! That afternoon, I met that Zhenkong, and in the morning, my My mother kindly went to deliver food to them, but... was killed by him instead. My father just asked them a few words, and was killed by him again. My whole life has been changed because of this incident. How can you let me let go? The old lady of the Chen family seemed to have buried this matter in her stomach for a lifetime, but today she said it happily, tears in her eyes had already fallen, "Do you know? Daoist Xiao, I was still dreaming just now! Dreaming about me While eating the small fish fried by mother, that damned Zhenkong rushed in and beat mother to death with a stick! Although I can no longer remember mother's appearance, I remember mother's bloody clothes clearly I can still dream of this kind of nightmare even now, how can you make me let go?"
"Namo Maitreya Buddha..." Xiao Hua proclaimed the Buddha's name, and said, "Actually, what you see is just the surface!"
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Hua told the truth about Humulus's parents being controlled by the mind-controlling worm, and finally said: "Actually, in the final analysis, it was the six-eared macaque who controlled your parents. Going to harm Chunzang, that Zhenkong... just had to do it to protect Chunzang!"
"I know!" Contrary to Xiao Hua's expectations, the Chen family's grandma replied without hesitation, "I didn't know when I was young, but when I grow up, I already understand! My parents must have been deceived by the fake Zhenkong!" Using it, he was beaten to death by Zhenkong!"
"Well, it's good that you know!" Xiao Hua nodded, "The real Zhenkong was sent by the old man to protect Chunzang, but he was beaten to death by this six-eared macaque. Now that the Blissful Sutra is over, this fellow's conspiracy has been revealed, The old man wants to kill him to avenge Zhenkong, but he said that the old man is not qualified to kill him. The only person in the world who is qualified to judge his life and death is you, so the old man brought him here. You said, the old man should kill him for Zhenkong To avenge your parents? Or should you let him go?"
The grandma of the Chen family was obviously taken aback, she stared at the six-eared macaque for a moment, there was no pleading in the eyes of the six-eared macaque, not even a trace of emotion, but the grandma of the Chen family looked up at Xiao Hua and said: "Of course it is Let him go, why kill him? He helped me avenge my father and mother!"
"Ah?" Xiao Hua was amazed, when he knew that the person the six-eared macaque was looking for was Humulus, he already knew what the six-eared macaque meant! Thinking that Humulus didn't know that the six-eared macaque controlled her parents with the heart-controlling worm, so Humulus probably regarded the six-eared macaque as the person who avenged herself, and was grateful to the six-eared macaque and let him go! But what puzzled Xiao Hua was that Humulus already knew that the six-eared macaque was the one who killed her parents and ruined her family, why did she let the six-eared macaque go?
"Oh, Master Xiao!" Chen's grandma sighed, "Don't you always think it's weird? Why do I know that these six...six-eared monkeys are the chief culprits who used my parents and caused my parents to die, but I am grateful He, don't you want him to die?"
"Indeed!" Xiao Hua nodded, touching his nose and replied.
The grandma of the Chen family raised her head, looked in the direction of the East China Sea, and said in a low voice, "This place is not far from the place where I lived when I was a child, but I never went back! It’s very good, there is food and drink, and even I have a good life in the Chen family, but all of this... seems to be incomparable to that small hut by the sea! Because there are no parents in this world, even if I go back, I will see you again. I can't reach them! So I'm afraid to go back..."
Seeing that the Chen family's grandma actually started to recall, Xiao Hua smiled wryly, but he didn't interrupt her, after all, a miserable childhood had already affected this old man's life!
Fortunately, after a while, the Chen family's grandma said again: "Master Xiao, although I am old, I am not confused. Although the six-eared monkey took advantage of my parents, I don't hate him! Because people in this world There are too many intrigues, intrigues and mutual use, and the tricks of the six-eared monkey are nothing compared to these people! Daoist Xiao, the farthest I have ever been to Liangqi County in my life has been, and most of my time has been spent in Jiangshui Town However, my third son is in business, and I have only followed him for three years, that is, in this small Jiangshui Town, that is, in that short three years, the methods I have seen are all kinds of strange. The town is like this, but what about the entire Liangqi County? What about the entire Jingzhou? What about the entire Hidden Immortal Continent? I often tell my son that others... can be used because they have value for use. No, it doesn’t matter whether this person exists or not! However, after you use someone, you must give them back. Even if you are fighting for some kind of scheming, don’t use all means, and don’t kill them all, because use is common, but unscrupulous is It will kill people!"
