I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"Master, are you okay now?" Lin Jin looked at Xianglian's clothes stained with blood, and asked the system in his heart if there was any medicine that could help Xianglian.

[If his wounds heal, taking off the chains later will be another form of torture.]

Lin Jin frowned. She knew that this was true, but she felt very uncomfortable watching it.

"Donor Lin, there is no right or wrong in the world. Everything is empty." Xianglian looked at her without any sadness or joy. "You are just like Donor Lin II. You have a demon in your heart, so you can't get what you want."

"There is no right or wrong in the world? Master, do you mean that even if Lin Lin does this, it is not wrong?" Lin Jin felt that Xiang Lian's words were absurd. "Where is justice and morality!"

"When the world was first created, how could there be justice and morality? It was nothing but a bondage imposed by people on themselves." Xianglian twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand and chanted "Amitabha". "If we really want to find out who is right and who is wrong, hasn't Mr. Lin done anything wrong to Mr. Lin Er?"

Lin Jin opened his mouth and found that he couldn't say anything to refute, as if he was mute.

Did she ever do anything sorry to Lin Lin? Yes, she did.

Xianglian asked Lin Jin: "Didn't you want to gain the friendship of Lin Er from the beginning? Now that you have it, why are you not happy?"

Lin Jin just opened his lips, but before he could say anything, he heard Xiang Lian say, "Because the donor discovered that there is cause and effect in the world, the donor approached the second donor with a false heart, so the affection he received was like honey mixed with arsenic, which killed the donor's true heart."

"Yes." Lin Jin felt a pain in his heart. "The more you want to grasp something, the harder it is to grasp it."

Xianglian let go of the Buddhist beads in her hand, and the silk thread holding the beads suddenly broke, and the round beads scattered all over the ground: "Donor Lin, everything is empty, everything is false. There are millions of people in the world, but there is only you."

"You will see what you have in your heart. If Miss Lin is unforgivable in your heart, then she will look unforgivable."

"There are millions of people in this world, they are all you, you are you, and I am also you."

Lin Jin shook her head: "I don't understand. I can't see through this world. Good is good, evil is evil. How can I think she is evil just because I think she is evil? If I say that what Lin Lin is doing now is good, does that mean she is good?"

"I once asked the Buddha what is good and what is evil, why kind people cannot have a good end, but evil people can have a house full of wealth and jade, if all suffering and sins are to be handed over to the next life, why should we come to this world in this life, passing on from generation to generation, when will the debt of grievances be settled."

Later he left the temple and spent his life searching for the true meaning of Buddhism.

"Originally there is nothing, so where can dust gather? If killing one's own kind is wrong, why is it that killing other beasts is not right or wrong? All living beings are equal, so what is a living being? Every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, every leaf is a living being. If they are equal, why is it that only humans have right or wrong?"

"If there is right and wrong in the world, then are all other living beings wrong?"

"There is no right or wrong in the world. It is people's seven emotions and six desires that determine right and wrong."

Lin Jin listened to Xiang Lian's words quietly, and finally asked: "So Master thinks Lin Lin did nothing wrong, and even if he killed someone, he doesn't need to pay with his life, right? As Master said, there is no right or wrong in the world, so why do we still need laws, and why do you still have to abide by the rules and regulations of monks?"

"In order to restrain the desires in your heart, if the desires are not restrained, they will destroy all lives. Donor Lin, the rules were originally created just to make it easier to manage a group. They do not represent right or wrong. Without rules, there will be no order. With reverence, one will know when to behave."

There was still no sadness or joy in Xianglian's eyes, nor was there any fluctuation in her expression because of Lin Jin's words. She was like an ancient well without ripples.

"Mr. Lin, you have a demon in your heart. Why don't you try to let go of everything? Maybe you can see through the cause and effect of the world."

"Let it go?" Lin Jin murmured these two words, "Master said to let it go. I know that Lin Lin killed Sister Shi Xia, but I still can't hate her?"

"That is Donor Song's fate."

"No, that's not it, her life can be changed!"

"Donor Lin, you are obsessed with changing your fate, but you never thought that fate would play tricks on you." Xianglian sighed heavily, "The Great Xia is prosperous, the fortunes of the four gods have descended on Great Xia one after another, and then we have two people like you who are blessed with good fortune. If we can work together, we will be able to make all the people in the world warm and well-fed."

Lin Jin was confused and only half understood: "Master Xianglian, you are a man of real ability. I respect you, but you cannot impose your ideas on me. You are not entangled in the secular world, so you see through the cause and effect of the world, but I cannot. I am in the world."

Xianglian sighed heavily: "God has the virtue of loving life. Seeing the sufferings of the world, he bestowed luck on Daxia. But as long as Donor Song Er does not die, Wenqu's spirit will not fall. This is fate. Donor Lin, let go of your obsession, and everything will go smoothly."

"If God really has the virtue of loving life, why does the so-called Wenqu Qi have to be exchanged for Sister Shi Xia?" Lin Jin didn't believe that any decent gods would sacrifice a woman before being willing to bring down their luck. "Only evil gods would ask for people as sacrifices."

"Mr. Lin, the secret cannot be revealed. You are a spiritual person and will definitely understand the truth." Xianglian began to chant scriptures. Lin Jin clearly could not understand Sanskrit, just like she did not understand it before in the Huguo Temple. But this time it seemed as if those scriptures entered her ears literally and were translated into sentences that she could understand.

Lin Jin covered his ears and looked at Xianglian in disbelief. Since Xianglian was so powerful, why was he treated like this by Lin Lin? The only thing that could mean was that Xianglian did it voluntarily.

Cutting flesh to feed the eagle and feeding your body to the tiger?

For many days afterwards, Lin Jin didn't see Lin Lin again. Someone came to bring her food every day. She would have her chains unlocked when she took a bath or ate, but there would be more than a dozen people around her to serve her, and they would lock her up again after she was ready.

Lin Lin made all the arrangements very well except not giving her freedom, and Master Xianglian still recites scriptures every day. She used to feel it was noisy in her ears, but now she can fall asleep listening to the scriptures.

Lin Jin didn't know whether she was immune or her mind was really purified. She felt that if she continued like this, she would become free of desires.

At first she was still thinking about whether it was possible to escape, but when the system detected the number of people guarding her, not only was it impossible for her to get out, but even if she turned into a cat it would be impossible for her to get out.

There were thirty maids serving alone, and nearly a hundred household guards and secret guards. Even a mosquito could not fly in. Lin Lin really spent a lot of money to lock her up. Now she could only pray that Song Shiqiu and the others would find her quickly.

Lin Jin was counting the days. Today was already the eleventh day of being locked up. Logically speaking, this amount of time would be enough for Song Shiqiu to turn the entire capital upside down, but he still hadn't found her.

"Isn't this the capital?" Lin Jin was shocked. She had never thought about this possibility before because she felt that even if Lin Lin wanted to hide herself in a short period of time, he would not be too far away, and Song Shiqiu would be able to find her sooner or later. But if he was not in the capital, it would be different.

Daxia is a vast territory, and Song Shiqiu might not be able to find himself in a year or two.

Lin Jin looked at Xianglian who was still reciting the sutra and asked again: "Isn't this the capital?"

"This is Lingnan." Xianglian opened his eyes and answered Lin Jin's question, "Donor Lin, please don't be impatient."

"Lingnan?" Lin Jin thought she had misheard. Lin Lin had brought her to Lingnan in just one day. "It seems that she has really studied the usage of the system thoroughly."

This makes it even more impossible for Song Shiqiu to find her.

Lingnan and the capital are thousands of miles apart, and even taking a plane would take several hours. In this era when there were only letters and horse-drawn carriages, it could be said that they were worlds apart.
