Chapter 149: The Great Monk of Biyun Temple Advises the Maze
Pan You'an is dead, and Queen Mother Tong has lost her arms and legs. She is filled with grief and crying to death. Thinking about the important role Xiao Anzi has played in the court in the past ten years, how can we do without him? In every crisis, he is the one who stands up. , does not shy away from swords and arrows, is not afraid of dangers, and risks his life for the sake of the country and the country without any complaints. Once he gives up and goes west, Prime Minister Wang and his gang will inevitably come back. How many days will she and her prince have a good life? Xiao Xiao Anzi and she were even more like mother and son, loving like siblings, respectful and filial, and never had two intentions. When little Anzi left, the royal family would not say anything about it, and her own life would lose the meaning of living.
The Queen Mother was so emotional and so sad that she fainted from crying several times. Everyone around her cried when they saw this. Zhang Dandan, Wang Xiaowu and the young eunuch had the deepest feelings, and they were sworn brothers. They knew that the young eunuch was the elder brother. He has a position that no one can replace. Once he leaves, it will be like the collapse of a pillar and the collapse of the building. They, a group of unrelated people, will surely be the victims of other people's cases. However, the two of them did not dare to do it in front of the Queen Mother. Loudly, I had no choice but to hold back my grief, my teeth fell out and I swallowed, and tears flowed from my heart.
Everyone saw that the Queen Mother was crying pitifully, and they couldn't stop trying to persuade her. At this moment, someone suddenly came to report: "The abbot of Biyun Temple, the Zen monk, the Great Master, has arrived."
The Queen Mother stopped her mourning, welcomed the abbot into the house, and asked:
"Master, the person we sent just left at noon, why did you arrive so soon?"
The Zen monk said: "Last night, the old monk was so frightened that he couldn't sleep all night, so he closed his eyes and rested his mind. Only then did he realize that something big happened in the court, and someone used magic and secret arrows to hurt the ministers. The Queen Mother had donated money. Fifty thousand taels of gold were used to rebuild the temple. Now that such a big thing has happened in the court, how can the old monk sit idly by and watch? So he set out early to inquire about it, and didn't want to run into people sent by the palace on the road."
The Queen Mother was moved and wanted to bow down, but the master stopped her and said:
"What do you mean? The Queen Mother is a golden branch and jade leaf. The Holy Mother and Queen Mother must not do this and destroy the old monk's magic power."
Tong Biyu didn't dare to force it after hearing such a statement.
The great Zen monk walked to the little eunuch's bed, looked around, and then lifted the quilt. He saw that the little eunuch's face remained unchanged, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his posture was peaceful, as if he was sleeping soundly. The master nodded and said something. :
"Amitabh, this is it."
The Queen Mother did not dare to disturb, and did not know what the Master meant, so she could only look at the Zen monk's face with questioning eyes. The old monk lowered his head and said nothing. Queen Mother Tong ordered the others to leave, leaving only Zhang Dandan in front of the bed. , Wang Xiaowu and the three of her, the master then solved the mystery and said:
"Your Majesty, firstly, this baby is very lucky, and secondly, evil will not overwhelm good. With these two points in mind, Donor Pan will not die."
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager was overjoyed and said happily: "If Master can save An'er's life, Biyu is willing to pay one hundred thousand taels of gold..."
The great Zen monk waved his hand and said: "No, no, the Queen Mother must not have such an idea. The old monk came here, firstly, to repay the Queen Mother for her care for the small temple, and secondly, to contribute a small amount to the court to eliminate evil and restore order. So. There is no justice in the world if the villain is proud and harms the loyal. The Queen Mother does not want to ask for money. The old monk will not take any money. And whether Pan Donor can survive this or not depends entirely on his luck and is beyond our reach. ."
"What should we do next?" Tong Biyu asked.
"Hold the funeral with great fanfare. The bigger the fanfare, the better." said the old monk.
"I heard that An'er is really dead, wouldn't the villain who harmed An'er be even more proud after getting this news?" Tong Biyu was puzzled.
"It doesn't matter," the old monk explained, "the evil man used the trick of bewitchment this time to get people's souls. When he learned that Pan Pan was dead, he would definitely withdraw from the altar. People who do evil things always have a guilty conscience.
Get away as soon as you can, as they generally won't stay at the practice site for a long time. As soon as they leave, a great deal of pressure is virtually relieved on Donor Pan, and the possibility of his soul returning is even greater."
"Who did such evil things?" Queen Mother Tong felt much better when she saw that An'er had been saved. She wanted to find out who the perpetrator was so that she could settle accounts with him in the future.
"Let's not talk about this," the old mage shook his head and said enigmatically, "Since ancient times, monks and Taoists have different paths, so we can't gossip about others. Besides, it's easy to make enemies but not easy to make them. Let him reflect and realize on his own.
! He has done something evil this time. Although he will get a lot of money, I am afraid that good times will not be long and he will be punished."
"Since it's a funeral, where will An'er's body be placed? It won't be buried in the coffin, right?" the Queen Mother asked.
"Of course he has to be buried," the monk said without any doubt, "but there is one thing. Donor Pan's clothes cannot be changed, especially the piece of jade hanging around his neck.
Jade is not irrelevant."
Others don't know, but the Queen Mother certainly knows that there is a piece of jade on the little eunuch's neck, called red coral. It was there when he came back from the border expedition five years ago. The Queen Mother never took it seriously, and she didn't tell him when asked.
Hehe smiled and excused himself. They said that jade can ward off evil spirits. Could it be that this piece of jade really saved him?
"Holy monk, please ask, An'er's brothers are outside the palace, can you inform them to enter the palace for mourning?" Tong Biyu asked the great monk.
The Zen monk said: "Now is an extraordinary period, so don't worry about it so much. Let them all enter the palace! Firstly, it will build up momentum, and secondly, it will ensure the safety of the palace. But don't tell them the truth, so as not to leak out."
The great master arranged for the disciples he had brought along with all the gongs and drums, etc., and asked them to stay and perform Buddhist rituals with great fanfare, while he left. Before leaving, he also ordered the Queen Mother Tong to open the coffin for an autopsy in seven days, as follows:
There was no response, or the person was really dead, in which case the coming of the King of Heaven would not help. After saying that, the great monk asked someone to pry open the little eunuch's mouth, stuffed a red date inside, and hurried away without looking back.
.
When the brothers heard the bad news that their brother had been killed by poison, they all rushed over. They all cried so hard that Cao Huazhi passed out from tears when he saw the little eunuch's body. The Queen Mother lamented their brotherhood.
, unable to bear it in her heart and fearing an accident, she quickly rescued Admiral Cao, helped her into the dark room, and quietly told her the truth. Only then did Cao Huazhi feel at ease.
Chief Hu San made arrangements for everyone one by one. The brothers took turns to keep vigil. Officials who came to pay their respects were only allowed to watch and pay their respects from a distance, and were not allowed to approach or open the coffin. Only Zhu Linzong did not listen to the instructions and hung his neck alone.
He quietly ran out of the palace. He was gone for a long time before someone discovered him and reported to Hu San:
"General Zhu is missing?"
Hu San was busy, and without thinking, he casually said: "Lin Zong and Master have a deep love for each other. We can't bear to see this miserable situation. Let him go!"
