Unexpectedly, Hui Ji smiled slightly: “Younger brother, what are you doing climbing the tree?”

Cheng Mo flushed suddenly, raised the little bird in his hands, and said to Hui Ji: “I want to send it back to its nest.”

Upon seeing this, Hui Ji said, “Amitabha, planting good seeds bears good fruits. Younger brother has a kind heart, older brother will help you plant this good deed.” [tl: “planting good seeds bears good fruits” basically means good deeds will be rewarded]

After saying that, Hui Ji picked up the nestling in Cheng Mo’s hands, stepped on the tree trunk lightly twice, climbed to the top of the tree and returned the bird to its nest.

That day, Cheng Mo found out that Hui Ji often practiced martial arts in this woods, so he (CM) often went to see him (HJ) in this woods. Although Hui Ji was a monk, he was still a teenager after all, and he also likes to talk to Cheng Mo. The two chatted and laughed, and they became a pair of good friends.

Unfortunately, one month passed by quickly, and Cheng Mo had to leave Shaolin Temple with his father. Even though he was reluctant, Cheng Mo said goodbye to Hui Ji.

For a short period of time, all Cheng Mo thought about was that he could return to Shaolin in the future to visit his Hui Ji gege. Unexpectedly, in just half a year, the weather in Jianghu turned dark, and the formerly highly-regarded Shaolin disciple suddenly became a great demon secretly practicing forbidden martial arts, and killed the four major families in Jiangnan. Cheng Mo didn’t believe at first, how could someone like Hui Ji gege do such a cruel thing? But at this time, Hui Ji’s reputation in Jianghu was terrible. The Old Alliance Leader Cheng led a group of experts all over the place to subdue him and still failed to arrest him. [tl: “weather turned dark” means the situation changed for the worse]

Finally, Old Man Qingsong came forward, utilizing the Jieyang Arts and personally subdued the great demon, and sent it back to the Shaolin Temple.

The monks in Shaolin Temple were benevolent and couldn’t bear to take Hui Ji’s life, so they locked him up with a fine iron chain and confined him in the Forbidden Area in Shaolin’s back mountain.

Because of this, Yong Ji retired and Nian Bei succeeded as Shaolin abbot; Old Man Qingsong visited the Wulin Alliance, Cheng Mo entered his eyes, and took Cheng Mo back to teach him the Jieyang Arts.

Ten years passed in a blink of the eye, Cheng Mo did not expect that by fate, he would be able to reunite with his friend; at this time, one of them was a demon detained by the Shaolin Temple, and the other had become the new Wulin Alliance Leader.

When Cheng Mo heard Hui Ji ask him who he was, he did not know how to answer. He was not sure whether Hui Ji still remembered the name Cheng Mo. Back then, he was an obscure junior, and Hui Ji was already a well-known Shaolin disciple. What’s more, the two had been separated for so many years, and also Hui Ji was locked up in this place without the light of day. He was not even sure whether Hui Ji’s sanity was still there.

But Cheng Mo still wanted to try, he said softly: “Hui Ji gege, I’m Cheng Mo, do you remember me?”

Cheng Mo waited for a long time before hearing Hui Ji slowly say: “Cheng Mo, I remember you.”

Cheng Mo couldn’t restrain his excitement, and took two steps forward, “You still remember me!”

Suddenly, a strong wind blew in, Cheng Mo was caught unprepared, and was pulled forward by Hui Ji’s powerful internal energy. Just as he was about to fall on Hui Ji’s body, Cheng Mo gathered energy to resist, using a slap to counter Hui Ji’s palm. The internal energy returned to its original place.

Hui Ji said: “Jieyang Arts? What is your relationship with Qingsong?”

Cheng Mo’s chest was still rising and falling vigorously, “He is my master.”

Hui Ji nodded slowly, and fell silent again.

Cheng Mo didn’t give up. He tried to approach Hui Jing slowly, and asked with a soft voice: “You–why did you secretly practice Shaolin’s forbidden martial arts? Why did you annihilate people of the Four Great Families in Jiangnan? Are those just rumors or are they true?”

Hui Ji didn’t respond.

Cheng Mo walked up to his side, Hui Ji just knelt quietly on the ground, his bright eyes closed, not saying a word.

For some reason, Cheng Mo remembered Hui Ji in the past, the picturesque young monk. Cheng Mo suddenly felt deep pity, he didn’t know what happened to Hui Ji, but in his heart, Hui Ji would always be the kind and gentle elder brother.

There is a shallow pool with water in the cave, which should be formed by the accumulation of rain water all year round. Cheng Mo tore open the hem of his clothes, walked to the edge of the pool, wet the cloth strips in his hand, wrung it out and walked back to Hui Ji’s side. He knelt down and tried to wipe the grime on Hui Ji’s face the damp cloth. Hui Ji did not evade, nor did he open his eyes. Following Cheng Mo’s movements, the dark stains that had accumulated on his face over the years were slowly wiped away, revealing the unusually fair complexion that had not met daylight for a long time underneath.

Cheng Mo also picked up sharp-edged rock fragment and shaved the beard off Hui Ji’s face. He saw that the face in front of him was no longer youthful and inexperienced, but it still had a handsome and well-defined facial features in his memory. Cheng Mo You can imagine how beautiful a young man Hui Ji would be if he opened those bright eyes.

Cheng Mo threw away the things in his hand, stood up and said, “Hui Ji gege, you are still the same as I remembered, you haven’t changed.”

Hui Ji smiled suddenly, “I am no longer what you remember.”

Cheng Mo was a little startled when he heard the words.

Hui Ji said again: “Do you know why such powerful martial arts as the Brahma Killing Arts are forbidden by the Shaolin?”

Cheng Mo said, “I don’t know.”

Hui Ji said: “Because it will infinitely magnify people’s desires. The so-called purification of the six roots in Buddhism is just cutting off the seven emotions and six desires. But the Brahma Killing Arts that amplifies a person’s desires undoubtedly will kill them. “
