Chapter VII

If Xue Yan knew his father's speculation, he would definitely sigh, although everyone's thinking was different, but the conclusion that Xue Yan might eventually "become a monk" was the same.

And if Xue Yan can think a little deeper, he can't say that he will have a sense of déjà vu: this kind of situation when the child is three years old, a monk came and said that he wanted to turn the child into a monk, isn't it just Sister Lin's experience!

It's just that this monk who seems to want to turn into a monk is not leprosy.

But the above are all assumptions, back to the main topic -

Just when Xue Zheng was sulking while giving birth to his own furry child, while thinking hard about what excuse to find in order to refuse Huiyuan's request to turn his furry child, someone came to report that a monk who claimed to be Huiyuan was coming to visit Xue Zheng.

Xue Zheng hurriedly put aside those messy thoughts, cheered up, and immediately asked someone to invite, and soon saw a monk who was older than the former and had a kind face.

――This is the abbot of Yangzhou Daming Temple. Xue Zheng thought.

The monk made a namaste to Xue Zheng, and took the initiative to speak: "The poor monk's name is Huiyuan, and I have seen Lord Xue. The poor monk's sudden visit is really rude, and I hope the donor will forgive me. ”

"The master doesn't have to be polite. Xue Zheng hurriedly asked someone to sit down.

After the two of them sat down, served tea, and exchanged a few words, they saw Huiyuan and said: "The poor monk came this time, and he really had a reluctant invitation. ”

Xue Zheng felt that his hands were about to tremble, "This...... What is it, Master?"

"Amitabha. Huiyuan didn't follow Xue Zheng's expectations, saying that he wanted to turn the latter's youngest son Xue Yan into a monk, but said, "The poor monk wants to talk to the benefactor's youngest son alone, Xue Xiaogongzi, I don't know if it's okay?"

Xue Zheng was stunned for a moment: ...... Hey, is this just trying to directly bypass being a father and turn into a son?

Master, please tell him, "He, as a father, can make a decision!"

- If Xue Yan knew his father's thoughts, he would definitely have De Kang's hand: what about his personal wishes and feelings?

But, of course, he couldn't know—

So Xue Zheng, who was thinking like this, asked, "I don't know the master, what do you want to say to my child?"

Huiyuan said "Amitabha" again, and then stopped talking, it seemed that he didn't want Xue Zheng to know.

- It is said that the reason why Huiyuan asked for a private interview with Xue Yan was really due to the latter's appearance when he was in Xiaozhuang Courtyard at that time.

At that time, Huiyuan could see that although Xue Yan was only three or four years old, he could think clearly and advance and retreat, and he was obviously an idea, not at all as ignorant as the child next to him.

Because of this, there will be today's episode, otherwise, this matter would probably be directly "decided" with Xue Zheng.

But...... Huiyuan thought to himself. If this little boy of the Xue family was really just an ordinary child, how could there be this today?

Huiyuan sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but think of what happened after the Xue family and his party left yesterday-

"Unsuccessful?" Jia Yu was surprised.

Although he didn't understand it, he at least saw that all the monks and Taoists were excited - if this kind of reaction was called "unsuccessful", then he really didn't know what "success" was.

Of course, he was hiding in a secret room, so he had to pretend not to know. Seeing Jia Yu frowning, he said with a sad face: "Master, what's going on......?" Isn't the person who comes 'noble'?"

"According to the old man's judgment, that child is a 'nobleman' as the family teacher said. Hui Yuan then brought up his judgment.

First of all, the child of the Xue family did not come to Xiaozhuang Courtyard by mistake, it can be seen from the other party's reaction and the conversation with Huiyuan that the other party obviously came with a goal;

Moreover, the child didn't think much about it, so he recited a scripture, which Huiyuan knew, but it was so secret, that if the child hadn't started up, probably few would have thought of it.

The most important point is that the child is too young!

Those behaviors, words, and even scriptures that are recited, are very problematic at this age!

-- But if it is accompanied by the word "nobleman", a question is self-evident.

What Huiyuan said, Jia Yu naturally thought about it. The latter added: "I just sent someone to check, and that child is the head of the Xue family of the Jinling Emperor Shang and the second son of Xue Zheng. ”

Jia Yu paused, and then said: "The Jia family and the Xue family are old relatives, so Xue Zheng and my brother are still brothers-in-law." ”

What Jia Yu didn't say was that if he guessed correctly, this Xue Zheng was very likely to be a member of the General Administration Department of the current sage, and he was probably still a small leader.

Jia Yu thought: One day, I should also check whether this Xue Zheng is reliable, whether there is a betrayal, etc., maybe wait for the prince to ascend the throne one day, this is his subordinate.

Thinking so, Jia Yu said: "Master, since you are sure that the 'noble' is right, then why did ...... 'Exorcism' not succeed? Could it be that he is too young?"

Hui Yuan recited the Buddha and said, "It's not 'unsuccessful', but 'not completely successful'." ”

"Master, what do you say?"

Hui Yuan: "At that time, the old man checked the situation of the relics, and the evil spirit had indeed been condensed...... But when the old man looked closely, it was still only a temporary suppression—"

Jia Yu's heart sudden. That's why you let the children of the Xue family take the relics away?

At first, he thought that Huiyuan was planning to leave the relics to the other party as a souvenir......

I saw Huiyuan continue: "The old man is incompetent, and he can't predict the future, so now he can only make a decision......

Probably because such a young child has to bear such a heavy responsibility, Huiyuan is ashamed when he talks about this.

Knowing that this evil was only temporarily "suppressed" now, Jia Yu's face became solemn.

The exorcism of this evil is not completed, and the first to bear the brunt is indeed His Royal Highness the Prince...... How can this be?

Moreover, even if there are not many people who believe in this evil thing, once it spreads, the impact on the current situation is immeasurable.

In particular, the source of the evil is not easy to explain, as long as you dig a little deeper, it is easy for people to find out to His Royal Highness the Prince, which is not what Jia Yu and the people of the prince's faction want to see.

The best way is to expose the evil as a trivial matter, and try to minimize the negative impact.

Huiyuan listened to Jia Yu's general approach to the follow-up treatment of the evil cult and agreed with it.

Huiyuan felt: on the one hand, the source of evil ...... In the final analysis, it is not good for the reputation of Daming Temple.

On the other hand, Huiyuan also believes that the influence of evil rumors is very great.

However, his focus was on the common people, and he was afraid that the people would cause panic if they knew about the evil - the prophecy of "affecting the fortunes of the Great Shun" was finally concealed by Huiyuan.

When Jia Yu and Huiyuan chatted to the end, they suddenly discovered:

-- The variables in the follow-up of the whole matter are instead in the Xue family's child and Xue Yan!
