.Song Yang was overjoyed. His previous concerns about the Grand Master’s plan to build the Great Thunder Sound Tower of Nanli University were wiped away. With that precious tower, the reincarnated disciples of His Holiness will return to their hearts, and the Master will immediately have a “situation”.
If the imperial court does not help, the auspicious place of Miaoxiang will also become a Buddhist holy place in Nanli. However, Song Yang is greedy and can't help but feel a little regretful: "What a pity, it would be great if the monks of Yan State also believed in this legend..."
"The legend of the Venerable is not as profound as Nanli's influence in Dayan, but it is not without influence." Master Tai's voice was light, with a little smile in her tone: "If we really go back to ancient times, Nanli was still worshiping Buddha.
Before the Yan Kingdom, there are now many ancient temples and temples in the Yan Kingdom. The origins can be traced back to when monks from the southwest of China went to the north to preach. The exchanges between monks from the two places have never stopped for thousands of years. When the news of the reincarnation of the Venerable spreads, Yan may not be without it.
Eminent monks from the country came to pay homage."
Song Yang laughed heartily. He had nothing to say except that he was happy. He bowed to Master Wuyu and said, "Junior junior, I would like to pay my respects to Yu, the Venerable Yuri."
"Venerable Bo Erli" Wuyu laughed, and then shook his head and said: "Unless absolutely necessary, Venerable, I don't want to do it myself. The Buddha said that there is no self, no one, and no living beings. There is no distinction between men and women, but
It will still feel a little weird for the former Buddha to be reincarnated into an old nun."
"Furthermore, thanks to Qingmu, the old nun has a good reputation, which can be used to do other things besides suppressing rebellion, such as... The reincarnated venerable can't win over believers by himself, but I can help him
:For another example, with my little reputation now, if I am the first to recognize the reincarnated venerable, things will go more smoothly. As for who will be the venerable, I also have a good candidate."
Of course Song Yang knew who this candidate was: "Shi Benxiao?"
"Wuyan in white is born with a wonderful appearance. The young man who is proficient in Buddhism has become famous. He is the only one to be reincarnated." Wuyu has already planned everything: "I told him about this when we were in the dungeon, and he has already agreed."
The beautiful monk is a gentle person on the outside and strong on the inside. He is very easy-going in dealing with people and things. Even if he is scolded and beaten, he will probably not care about it, but he has certain thoughts in his heart. I am afraid that even the nine great masters will not be able to stop him.
When he came back, he was "covetous for the world of mortals. He returned to secular life. Song Yang was a little worried at first, fearing that he would not be willing to step into Buddhism again. Unexpectedly, Wuyu had already convinced him, and he immediately laughed: "You have always arranged everything...
…”
Half-smiling, Song Yang began to blink, Hu Bo said to ask Shi Xiaoxiao to help "Son, he agreed after three years: Wuyu asked Shi Xiaoxiao to become a monk again, and he also agreed. Song Yang thought in his heart: Beautiful monks like to listen to old ladies.
What?
Wuyu didn't know Song Yang's random thoughts and continued: "About the Glazed Pagoda and the reincarnation of the Venerable, the old nun just wants to say hello to you in advance. The most important thing right now is how to quell the rebellion. What do you need me to do, and do you need to be more active?
thought."
Song Yang immediately nodded and took down Prince Jing to help his father-in-law turn the situation around. It was the top priority.
Don't come to the monastery for three days to perform rituals. The companions and prisoners hidden in the underground palace were evacuated in batches. Song Yang also left several times. There were two people in the dungeon that he was worried about. One was Qingmu, a disciple of the national master. She was guarded by Shi Xiaoxiao.
There was no need for others to worry about her, but Atai was involved in her. Song Yang was afraid that the beautiful monk wouldn't be able to stand the cup and would let her go temporarily.
It was also because of Atai's relationship that Song Yang gave up the idea of dealing with Qingmu, but it was just that he would not force a confession or torture her. It was absolutely impossible to let her go. During this special period, if Qingmu was able to escape and reunite freely,
King Jing was about to be destroyed. For this reason, Song Yang repeatedly warned Shi Xiaoxiao until Shi Xiaoxiao agreed in the name of Buddha: He would never release Qingmu on his own initiative.
The other person Song Yang was worried about was naturally Luo Guan, who was seriously injured. He personally escorted Luo Guan away. With the support of the red guards, Song Yang sent the Grand Master to a safe place, and calmed down to complete the treatment for him. Finally,
He left the prescription and carefully told the red guard responsible for taking care of Luo Guan the usage, dosage and other precautions before leaving with peace of mind.
Luo Guan was seriously injured this time, and he would have died a long time ago if it had been anyone else. Fortunately, he was well-educated and had Song Yang to treat him in time. Now he has truly stabilized and as long as he takes good care of himself, he will be able to return to his original state after a while.
After the matters in the dungeon were settled, Song Yang, with the help of the Murong family, met with Prime Minister Zuo and the Minister of Punishment to discuss countermeasures.
Prince Jing sent people to monitor both inside and outside Prime Minister Zuo's house. Of course, Prince Jing also had Mr. Hu's spies around him, but there was not much useful information that could be found. One of the more important ones was that Aoki had agreed with Prince Jing that they would meet in the near future.
We will perform another ritual to pray for Nanli's blessings and peace. At that time, we will pray to immortals and Buddhas to get the prediction that "Prince Jing will be established."
After hearing Master Hu's words, Song Yang wanted to laugh: "You don't need to inquire about this? We guessed it last time, right? Are you really sending spies?"
Master Hu coughed, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Young poor man.
Let me ask you, does Wuyu know when to perform rituals, and does he know the specific details of the rituals that Qingmu and Prince Jing discussed? If you don’t know these, are you afraid that Prince Jing will be suspicious when he sees you again? "
Song Yang stopped laughing immediately: "These are also here? Please tell me the time and details."
"I don't know." The old man answered matter-of-factly, and Song Yang clenched his fists in anger.
Prime Minister Zuo smiled even more happily: "Not only I don't know, Prince Jing doesn't know either. Aoki just said to do the work as soon as possible, but did not say the specific time. As for the details, both parties have not yet determined...
According to my estimation, Prince Jing can’t wait any longer.”
After four days of being trapped in the dungeon and three days of rituals in the Zen courtyard, Song Yang was delayed for seven days. It is said that the King of Zhenxi had received the news and rushed back to the capital from Xiguan. In the important border areas, soldiers and horses were set up to defend against foreign enemies. When the prince set out,
He did not lead the troops.
However, the western part of Nanli Kingdom is considered to be the prince's sphere of influence. There are still troops and horses loyal to him after the border pass. The prince has not led the troops back from the border pass, which does not mean that he did not have a large army behind him when he arrived in Phoenix City. Although the current detective report is that the town has
There are only a few hundred guards around the King of the West, but there are already signs of mobilization of troops and horses in the west.
Therefore, the rebels in the capital and the two sides who suppressed the rebellion are now anxious to get angry. King Jing must hurry up and decide on the general rule and complete the throne before King Zhenxi returns to the capital. Only then can he legitimately deal with King Zhenxi: Prime Minister Zuo and Lord Du
The others did not want to deal with the civil strife in the south, and there would probably be a war between the east and the west as soon as King Zhenxi returned. They all hoped to overthrow Prince Jing Ren Tang before the prince returned to the capital.
For both parties, time is very tight.
There are countless temples in Phoenix City, and of course there is more than one master. Wuyu's fearful temperament is somewhat similar to Shi Xiaoxiao. She has Buddha in her heart and practices casually, and does things informally. Gushi is just the opposite. She is a member of the capital.
, the most stereotyped old nun.
Gu Shi is a solitary and conservative person as her name goes, and almost no one has ever seen her smile. Men are not allowed to enter the Lian Zong Temple she presides over, and there are many rules for women. Prostitutes and courtesans are not allowed to enter, and those with poor reputations are not allowed to enter.
No one is allowed to enter, even those who remarry are not allowed to enter. Under her control, Lian Zong's nunnery is not like a temple where all comers are welcome, but more like a chastity temple: she is also extremely harsh on her disciples, almost arrogant.
Do not delay the hard work and all kinds of homework, otherwise you will be severely punished.
After the ritual ceremony at the Bie Lai Zen Monastery, Master Wuyu temporarily lived in the Liansong Nunnery in Gushi.
Even though Wuyu was extremely famous, Gushi didn't show any pretense towards her. When Master Wuyu came, it was during evening class time. Gushi said coldly: "Senior brother, when you settle in Lian Zong'an, you should abide by the rules here, regardless of your seniority, status, or status.
As a disciple of my Buddha, you must not delay your practice. You should clean up as soon as possible and follow me to the temple..."
Before she finished speaking, Wuyu shook his head and said, "There's no rush for evening classes."
Gu Shi frowned, and was about to say something. Unexpectedly, Wuyu suddenly showed a vigilant expression, ducked to the door, and looked out. Gu Shi said displeasedly: "What are you doing? Lian Zong'an practices rigorously.
No one dares to come here to cause trouble, let alone have a snack or a late night visit.
"The matter is so important that we don't want to be on guard." After saying that, Wuyu closed the door, turned around, clasped his palms to Gu Shi, and said seriously: "Wuyu is in trouble, please help me, senior brother."
Gu Shi is born with a cold temperament, so she doesn't have a good attitude towards Wu Yu. But her cold face does not mean that she also has a cold mind. Gu Shi is a devout Buddhist, and she, like everyone else, obeys everything Wu Yu does.
Admired from the bottom of my heart.
Gushi was stunned when he heard what Wuyu said. He understood that the other party must have something important to say. She was not good at words and could not say polite words. She just nodded and said, "You tell me."
"A few days ago, a list was issued from the palace, informing people from all over the world about the tragedy of the Mid-Autumn Festival parade. Senior brother, have you seen the list?" Wuyu got straight to the point. After the other party nodded, she continued: "What the list says is true. I personally
After checking the body of Long Live, it was indeed possessed by evil spirits, but there is something very wrong."
In the Buddhism of the Middle Earth, there is a lesson of eliminating demons and subjugating demons. However, not everyone can learn this lesson. Gushi does not have this qualification and only has a partial understanding of it. Although he can understand what Wuyu said, but in his mind
But he couldn't think of anything. Gu Shi's eyes were a little confused: "What's wrong?"
Wuyu took the old nun and sat down together: "Fenglong is in his prime. He is young and strong, and his behavior is decent. He has neither bad deeds nor evil thoughts. He is not easily bullied: not to mention the palace where he lives.
In the inner courtyard, eminent monks are invited to pray for blessings every year, and the consecrated Buddha is enshrined. Evil spirits cannot avoid it, so why would they go there to cause trouble?"
Gu Shi was even more confused. He didn't pay attention to the wording of his words and said unceremoniously: "You were the one who said that the emperor was possessed by evil spirits before. Now you are the one who said that the emperor will not be possessed by evil spirits. What's going on?"
"There is no doubt that the emperor was possessed by evil spirits; but why he was possessed by evil spirits is the source of suspicion." Wuyu was very patient: "When I was inspecting Fenglong's body in the palace, I also did some research around the area.
, several evil-proofing magic tools have traces of movement. The most important thing is that there are some cinnabar marks left at the heels of a coiled dragon pillar in the palace. The coiled dragon pillar is red, and the color of cinnabar is similar, so it is not easy to detect.
It's secret. The mark is like this..." As he said this, Wuyu took out the pen and paper and drew some strange symbols.
Gushi took the picture, looked at it for a while and shook his head in confusion, obviously not recognizing the talismans. Wuyu explained to her seriously: "Senior brother, please think about it, where is the palace, how can you allow others to scribble talismans and seals casually? There are people who are deliberately committing robberies.
After it is completed, I must try to destroy the traces, but the place I found was not completely cleaned, so the mark I drew is half a Dharma seal.
As he spoke, Wuyu stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the blank space next to the mark.
After her reminder, Gu Shi looked at it carefully again, and his expression finally changed: "Is this the Yeluo curse word?"
Wuyu nodded calmly: "Yes, I should be sure that there is a demon in the palace who has performed Yeluo evil magic."
"Yeluo is the name of a person from Tibet. He once became a disciple of a living Buddha on the plateau and practiced Tantric Buddhism. For some unknown reason, he left the plateau more than ten years later and went to China to practice Zen Buddhism. In his middle age, he betrayed his disciple again.
, went to live in seclusion in Wugu Mountain Township in the southwest. A few years later, Luo rejoined the world. By then, this person had become obsessed with evil. He first created his own black magic and then established his own cult. He caused a lot of troubles and was finally wiped out by the officials. This
It happened more than 200 years ago. The Yeluo cult was uprooted, but its magic is still spread among the people. It has always been regarded as heresy by officials and Buddhists, and will be eradicated immediately once discovered.
Yeluo Secret Technique combines Tantra, Zen and Shamanism. One of the most famous ones is the evil method of "poisonous ghosts take possession of the body."
No one knows whether this kind of magic that leads to the underworld is effective or not. However, in Middle-earth, from the plateau to the coast, from the ice fields to the wild forests, people all believe in ghosts and gods. At that time, the Luo cult was quite powerful.
Naturally, his evil tree has no shortage of believers.
Speaking of which, how could Gu Shi still not understand what Wu Yu meant? He frowned and said, "Senior brother, what you mean... is that someone cast evil spells and harmed Long Live Fenglong? Who could it be?"
Song Yang's rescue of Wuyu greatly increased his chances of a successful comeback, but when it came to actually doing things, there was also a small problem: Wuyu's prestige.
In the past, Aoki caused trouble and made Master Wuyu's reputation extremely loud. After getting out of trouble, Wuyu really enjoyed the results. And to complete the counter-insurgency, there is still one important thing to do, "The Reincarnation of the Reverend," which will be used by then.
Wuyu has a great reputation, so when suppressing the rebellion, both Wuyu and Song Yang must maintain this good reputation.
Of course, the truth cannot be made public. If the people of Nanli learn that Wuyu, who is like a god, has been imprisoned in a dungeon for seven years, and his name has been faked to commit disobedient and evil deeds, Wuyu will never be famous again.
The two transfers cannot be known to outsiders, and the current Wuyu cannot overturn what the fake Wuyu said in the past. He can only take advantage of the situation and follow the trend.
"I couldn't tell which one it was specifically. I could only say that someone in the palace was up to something." Wuyu said in a low voice, "So in the previous list, I only stated what happened, not why.
Not only the article on the list, but also the suspicion of someone practicing sorcery, I only considered it in my mind, and I have never told anyone, and my senior brother is the number one person."
Gu Shi and Yourong Yan, but they only felt warm in their hearts, and their faces were still cold, and they continued to the topic: "It's not difficult to guess, if Feng Long was killed, whoever is most likely to ascend the throne will be the murderer."
Wuyu didn't comment on this, and started another topic: "Brother, you should know that there is something unusual about the tragic incident in the Buddhist temple. To protect my safety, Prince Jing assigned me a team of palace guards."
Gushi's face became even darker: "Are those guards trying to kill you?"
Wuyu shook his head: "The guards were all loyal and brave, risking their lives to protect me, and finally died for the Dharma." As she said this, the Master's face showed a look of compassion, and she clasped her hands together and chanted sutras in a low voice. Gu Shi followed her.
Sing a mantra.
After a moment, Wuyu spoke again: "The origin of the thugs who broke into the monastery is unknown, but they are well-trained. The guards alone cannot resist them. Fortunately, due to the emergency, Brother Tianhu of Baita Temple led his monks to attack in advance.
After entering the Zen monastery, with their help, the murderer failed to succeed. During the fight, a palace guard leader knocked off the murderer's face shield, and he recognized the opponent's imperial guard of Prince Jing."
The paving was almost complete, Wuyu began to directly throw dirty water on Prince Jing, but Gu Shi was confused: "It was Prince Jing who sent the shi to protect you, and it was Prince Jing who sent the thugs to kill you?"
The things Wuyu compiled are actually very clear in thinking, but for the old nun Gu Shi who only knows how to eat fast and chant Buddha, it is still a little complicated. Fortunately, Gu Shi's mind is not chaotic, and he can think of it after a little thought.
The "key point" is: "The guards in the palace are not Prince Jing's own people, and the task of killing you cannot be left to them... It is true to protect you, and it is even more true to kill you. The murderer's strength far exceeds that of the guards, and you will definitely die."
The purpose of sending his own masters to kill you is to kill you; the purpose of sending the palace guards to protect you is to clear away his own suspicion."
Leader Wuyu said: "Just as my senior brother said. Lord Buddha protected me, I escaped pursuit and fire.
I also escaped the next disaster."
Gu Shi was puzzled: "The next calamity?" "After the fire was extinguished, Jing Wangji led his own people to search the ruins." Wuyu raised his head, and Gu Shi suddenly realized: "It is indeed very dangerous!"
Wuyu continued: "Fortunately, all the senior brothers did not give up and stayed not far away. The news that I survived the fire was leaked. Even if Prince Jing found me, he would not be able to do anything again." If Prince Jing could know that he
The good intention of "having fun with the people" was tampered with by Wuyu into "I can't do anything." I am afraid that he will really curse.
Gushi's thoughts became clearer: "When you were inspecting Fenglong's corpse in the palace, especially when you suspected that someone was using evil magic to frame Long Live, did you find any loopholes?"
"The truth is so horrifying that when I suddenly thought about it, I was shocked for a while..."
Gu Shi sneered, and the old nun understood very well: "You suspected that someone was luring ghosts to frame Fenglong. Prince Jing saw your suspicion, so he sent someone to kill you. This is to silence you."
Wuyu sighed: "As a monk, Qing Deng Ancient Buddha is with me, but I can never see the deceit in the world. But in the final analysis, I am not meditative enough, and I am not calm enough when encountering problems. If my senior brother was present, there would be no trouble later.
"
Gu Shi took this sentence seriously. The old nun kept a straight face all day long and had no other expression. Naturally, she would not reveal her inner feelings... She was quite kind in her words: "You have done a very good job."
After finishing the lies, Wuyu changed the topic: "Prince Jing harbored evil intentions. During the three days of Buddhist rituals in the Zen Academy, I thought about it carefully and found a way. But with my own strength..."
Halfway through his words, Gu Shi interrupted: "It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the people; it is our duty to protect the common people; it is our duty to help our fellow disciples. Just tell me what you think of, and Gu Shi will do his best.
"I will hold another ritual ceremony soon to pray for Nanli." Wuyu came closer and lowered his voice to talk secretly with Gushi. Gushi was sometimes confused, sometimes nodded, and occasionally asked a few questions, the two of them were enough
After talking for half an hour, Gu Shi finally let out a long breath, nodded and said: "I understand.
Wuyu's expression became relaxed again, he stood up from the chair, brewed a cup of tea with his own hands and served it to Gu Shi: "Thank you, senior brother."
Gushi waved his hand and said a few more words of "It's my duty." He took the tea cup into his hand and took a sip. It was sweet... At this time, a little nun suddenly came outside to report that a father-in-law had come outside the nunnery.
, saying that he came to invite Wuyu into the palace.!
