A Ning came in with a bunch of things to draw talismans, including cinnabar, a red pen, and a bunch of talisman paper: "Young master, what do you want these things for?"

Zhao Ran said: "Your young master, I want to draw an immortal ascension talisman." ”

"Young Master!" A-Ning was taken aback, "What if I want to hurt my life?"

Zhao Ran smiled and said mysteriously: "Your young master is the least likely to believe in evil, and he is the least afraid of hurting his life. ”

He stretched out his hand: "Pen and ink are waiting!"

A-Ning had no choice, so he had to mix the cinnabar for him according to his words, then handed him the pen, and said clearly: "Close the doors and windows, and go out." ”

A-Ning had to retreat and close the door, and Yingning leaned against the door. "You don't have to worry, he can come out alive in Night Lonely City, and the Immortal Ascension Fu will kill him. ”

"The patriarch also went to the Night Lonely City. A-Ning said worriedly.

Zhao Ran was painting in the room, painting backwards, sitting and painting, lying down and painting, tossing and turning for a night, and finally he was so sleepy that he couldn't lift his eyelids, and fell asleep directly on the table.

When it was dawn, he heard A-Ning anxiously shouting while pushing him: "Young master, young master." ”

Zhao Ran raised a hand: "Young master, I'm still alive." ”

Ah Ning breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "You don't sleep in a bed, why do you lie on the table, scared to death, I thought you were ...... with Master Nahe"

Zhao Ran held his waist and said: "Then Master He's death has nothing to do with this ghost talisman, I want to go to bed and sleep for a while." ”

He walked a few steps towards the bed and listened to A Ning say, "Young master, you also made an appointment with the Buddha today." ”

"Ahh Only then did Zhao Ran remember that he had indeed made an appointment to go to Jixiang Nunnery for nine days to have a look.

－－－－

He splashed his face with cold water, then ate a few bites of food, and when he got out of the courtyard, he saw Mrs. Jiang standing on the porch in a daze, he walked over and said, "Uncle." ”

Mrs. Jiang came back to her senses at this time: "Ah Xian, this morning your grandfather wore formal clothes and entered the court from Dong'anmen. ”

The matter is irreparable, and Zhao Ran is relieved: "Uncle don't worry, even if you want to ascend to Sendai, it will not be close to this day or two, you can rest assured that things will definitely take a turn for the better." ”

Mrs. Jiang quietly glanced around, and said softly: "Wait for the holy decree, you and your aunt and Biqiao will go to Nanjing to join your uncle, prepare, don't sue anyone." ”

"Where's my grandmother?"

Mrs. Jiang looked ahead and said, "Her old man asked her to prepare two coffins, I'm afraid she won't be ready to leave...... I can't go anymore. ”

Zhaoran said: "Auntie, I promise you, we won't need one of the two coffins."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the lower courtyard to ask people to prepare the carriage, and then said, "Yingning." ”

Ying Ning came out of the darkness and said, "Here!"

Zhaoran turned his head and said with a grin: "Yingning, I remember that you have a friend who is good at stealth, right?" ”

Ying Ning said, "Is there one?"

A Ning on the side had already said: "The young master has a good memory, his name is Tongyin." ”

Ying Ning had no choice but to change and muffled her voice: "Do you want to do it?"

Zhaoran patted him on the shoulder: "Go and help me find him for the young master." He leaned into Yingning's ear and said, "If you can't find it, I'll really poke a hole in Runiang's skin and do what I say." ”

Ying Ning glared at him angrily: "Despicable, it will come to this." ”

Zhaoran lifted the curtain and got into the carriage: "The move doesn't need to be new, it just works." ”

－－－－

At the intersection of the alley, Jiuru was still flipping through books in front of the bookshelf, and at this time the morning market had opened, and there were crowds of people outside Sichengfang, and the cars and horses were flowing, but he only gently flicked the plain silk on his waist.

"Jiuru, get in the carriage!" Zhao Ran shouted through the crowd.

Jiuru closed the book in his hand and jumped into the carriage: "You didn't sleep last night?"

Zhaoran said: "I'm in good spirits." ”

Jiuru let out a "hmm", then lowered his head to read the book, and Zhao Ran leaned over and said, "What are you looking at?"

"The Legend of the Man in Green. ”

"Legendary. ”

"There are some legends, it is said that a man and a woman died of martyrdom in the previous life, and the female ghost in green remembered the love between the two, refused to be reincarnated, and went through hard work to find the man who had been reincarnated, and then continued the previous thing. ”

Zhao Ran pretended to be surprised and said: "This situation is sad and sad." He was shouting in his heart that it was over, Jiuru would not also imagine that Ru Niang's soul would turn around, but even if Ru Niang's soul turned around, she would only go to Nanjing to find Jiang Lanyi.

Jiuru nodded: "It's really not bad, the only strange thing is that the man in green is gone after three years, but the man has become a monk." ”

"What's strange?"

Jiuru said lightly: "What did he do as a monk, why didn't he die?"

Zhao Ran couldn't help but look at the roof of the car: "The living think of the dead, the dead are a hundred, in fact, this man is more guilty than the man in green." ”

Jiuru seemed to think about it carefully for a while, and then said indifferently: "That's still alive." ”

Zhaoran felt a little guilty about him in his heart, he had to tease Wang Zeng and Wen Zhigeng, these two people were veterans in the flowers, and he had no shame in his heart when he teased, but Jiuru spent most of his life in the temple, presumably emotionally empty and two hundred, in case he would never forget his mother for half his life......

He couldn't help but widen his eyes, he had done a great job.

Zhao Ran hurriedly leaned over: "Jiuru, let me tell you, as a man, what should we do?"

"How?"

Zhao Ran waved his hand: "Ten thousand flowers have passed, and the leaves do not stick to the body." ”

He saw that Jiuru was silent and silent, so he leaned closer and said, "Uncle, what did I tell you, the manly man is wet with rain and dew, that is our duty." There are so many beauties in the world waiting for us to love, where can we love one?"

Ah Ning outside heard that the sweat on her forehead was about to come out, and she thought about it and took out a silk handkerchief and plugged her ears.

Jiuru looked back and said: "Yes, do it and see." ”

Obviously, Jiuru was close, and he could smell the faint scent of sandalwood on his body, and when he looked at him like this, his heart inexplicably leaked.

He likes Jiuru's obedient and delicate appearance.

Pity...... He didn't know what he was sorry for.

Zhao Ran said again: "Uncle, are you still worried about the matter of the national teacher, I have some plans in my heart about this matter, but I ......"

"National teacher?"

"I thought that a law might be able to extricate the national teacher from difficulties. ”

"You mean that today's old lady Jiang in the court invited herself to preside over the immortal ascension ceremony for the national teacher. ”

Zhaoran asked Jiuru to debunk the purpose, and he didn't care, and said with a smile: "My old lady is a little stupid, it's better to go to Heaven later." ”

Jiuru put his gaze back on the book again: "You can do what you think." ”

Zhao Ran couldn't help but say: "I can do whatever I want, then if this thing doesn't work out...... Instead, it stabbed a leak in the National Teacher Tower?"

Jiuru turned the page in his hand steadily: "You are ordered by me to act cheaply, even if you poke a hole in the sky, I will bear it for you." ”

Zhaoran's actual purpose is to give Jiuru a letter, in case it really gets out of control, and let Jiuru come as a talisman, although he knew that Jiuru would not ignore him, but he still didn't expect the little Buddha to be so domineering and simply stretched out his legs to hug him, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Jiuru, you are too brother...... The friendship between uncle and nephew. ”

－－－－

A Ning in front of him spoke: "Young master, Jixiang'an has arrived. ”

Zhaoran lifted the curtain of the car, only to see that the steps outside were full of people, shouting one after another, and the car couldn't pass at all.

"Xiaomin Chi Jiu is willing to donate a hundred taels of silver, and I implore the Buddha's mother to give my sick and weak mother a talisman to ascend to immortals. ”

"Xiao Min Rongsan is willing to donate five hundred taels of silver. ”

"Song Licai, a grain merchant in eastern Zhejiang, is willing to pay five hundred taels of gold to seek an immortal talisman for his mother. ”

"The pawnshop of the Qi family is willing to give Huang Qianliang and ask for an immortal talisman for his father. ”

Zhaoran retracted his head and said to Jiuru: "I want to go down to do something, it's inconvenient for you to show up at the same time as me, wait for you to come up at the right time." ”

Jiuru didn't say much, only said: "Okay." ”

－－－－

Zhaoran got out of the carriage, walked on tiptoe, and finally found a person who was not lying on the ground and asked, "What's going on here?"

"You don't know, the Mother of the Buddha opened the door to immortality this time, and it is said that ten good people can be selected to go to heaven with the national teacher, so as to show that this dynasty is virtuous and virtuous. ”

"Oh. Akira grinned, "That's just right." ”

He strode over to the crowd and said loudly: "You don't have to pay much respects here, the Buddha Mother has revealed to me the mystery of the ascension talisman yesterday, and she made it clear that good deeds are not determined by donating money to the temple. ”

"Who are you?"

Zhao Ran smiled and said: "The contemptible surname is Rong, my maternal ancestor Jiang Mansion has been an astrological official for generations, and you must have heard of it." ”

"It turned out to be the Qin Tianjian Zheng Jiang Mansion. Everyone talked about it, and some people said: "Even if you are a person from Jiang Mansion, you are just a grandson, how do you know that what you said is true." ”

"What I said is not true...... "Smile obviously, "Then according to your meaning, could it be that the Buddha's mother is a greedy person for money?"

The man immediately coaxed down, and said continuously: "No, no, of course the Buddha Mother is not, of course the Buddha Mother is not ......"

Zhao Ran said: "I didn't pay attention to what I just said!"

Everyone immediately responded: "Reason!"

Someone else asked, "Then how does the Buddha Mother determine good deeds?"

Zhaoran bent down and picked up the silver coin in one person's hand, and threw it in the palm of his hand: "This silver, of course, still has to be spent, but it is not donated to the temple, you might as well go out and see, where the house is broken, whose children have no food." The lonely and widowed have official support, which is the grace of one day, and the people are compassionate, which is the truth that the human race is virtuous, and the virtuous are blessed, and it lasts for eternity. The Buddha should only receive a pillar of fragrance in the world, and if there are more, they are all pseudo-Buddhas. ”

Zhao Ran grinned: "The Buddha's mother is a true Buddha, and she should only receive a pillar of incense from you." As for how many good deeds you have done with your money, she will be watching from heaven. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and someone said: "This is reasonable, the Buddha Mother is really holy." ”

The crowd knelt on the ground again and shouted, "Mother Buddha is holy." ”

－－－－

The door of the nunnery opened, and it was no longer a mute woman who came out, but a brightly dressed nun who clasped her hands together: "Our nunnery master invites this benefactor to come in." ”

Zhaoran threw the silver back to the person on the ground, and entered the nunnery without looking back, Fa Yin stood on top of the main hall, and said with a solemn face: "This donor, you are untrustworthy and nonsense, can you be guilty?"

"Mother Buddha sues you, I opened my mouth?" Zhao Ran was amazed, "Her Buddha voice is also transmitted frequently. ”

Fa Yin said angrily: "That's because the poor nun knows that the Buddha Mother will never transmit the message to you?"

"Why? Because she's actually a money-grubber?"

"You!" Fa Yin was momentarily speechless.

Zhaoran strode into the main hall, looked at the Buddha statue on the main hall and said: "If not, you will pass on the sound of the Buddha and I will take a look, otherwise I will not believe it." ”

He turned his head and spread his hands and said, "You see, the Buddha Mother is also acquiescing to what I said." In fact, she is not only greedy for money, but also unkind, whoever helps her is a dead end, believe it or not, you will also be a dead end in the future. ”

"Presumptuous!" came a solemn shout from above the Buddha statue.

The nuns hurriedly rushed into the main hall, knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, and Fayin knelt on the ground and said, "Fayin receives the Buddha's will." ”

The Buddha statue also said: "The world is ignorant of life and death. The naked eye does not know the blessing of sin. If you listen to the scriptures and speak in vain about the Buddha's will, it will one day become a dog. (Note: Dogs with ears, when they hear a little noise, they bark at the neighboring dogs)"

Zhaoran walked around the hall in a circle and said with a smile: "The Buddhist scriptures have words, but no one says the Dharma, although the wisdom is incompetent, it can be seen that the Dharma is interpreted by people." But I'm not interested in solving the law, I'm interested in solving crimes. ”

He turned to the door and closed the door of the palace and said: "Minfang, in the last years of the Great Ming Shun, she was elected to the palace, and later because of her good reading, she was elected as a female official, but she has always been a low-level female history. In the sixth year of Chenghua, you were sent by the Empress Dowager Zhou to the side of the county lord of Gu'an, and your name was changed to Huifang. How? It must have taken a lot of effort, although Fayan Temple is not a good place, but it is a chicken head to go there. ”

Zhaoran took a few steps forward and said: "There are many rules in the palace, you don't dare to act rashly, after arriving at Fayan Temple, you found that there was already a Jinghui by her side." This nun is strong, shrewd and difficult to speak, and I don't like it very much, so I guess your life will not be too easy. But she has a weakness, her weakness is Gu'an, and Gu'an is much easier to deal with, she is obsessed with the past and the future, and concentrates on cultivating Buddhism, probably because she wants to cultivate a smooth next life. It just so happened that at that time, Mrs. He had no children at home, so she often went to various temples to offer incense, and you got to know her, from Zhenze to crabs, and from crabs to mice, so you induced Gu'an to believe that raising more mice can be transported. ”

He stopped, turned to look at the Buddha statue and said, "If a person has *, he has a weakness. Jinghui has a weakness, so she naturally has to be more polite to you. Buddhism is boundless, and it just so happens that there is no end, and when you come into contact with Mrs. He, and when you see those exquisite clothes and ornaments, you suddenly feel the indignation that you are always trapped in a corner in your youth. Yes, how can a temple where you can't even eat garlic onions, and a place that can only be planted and raised, can trap you. ”

The Buddha angrily rebuked, "Nonsense. ”

"Wait, don't worry, I'm almost done. Zhao Ran raised his hand and said, "You take advantage of the opportunity of frequent contact with Master He, and use the so-called Buddha Mother Divine Voice to make him believe that you are his nobleman, and help you become an immortal. Then you said that Qiu Rong was moved, making her believe that you were already pregnant with Master He's child and had to run for your life, which is why the people of Fayan Temple would say that Master He went up the mountain to donate trees because of the good news that the concubine in the family had good news. ”

There was the sound of footsteps outside the Buddha hall, and the Buddha statue said: "If you insult me, you will fall into the hell of Ah Nose!"

Zhao Ran said to himself: "Because only in this way will Qiu Rong know that he will bring unforeseen circumstances to Fayan Temple, and risk his life to help you escape." You have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and you are the person who has stayed by the side of the Empress Dowager Zhou for a long time, and you know very well who your disappearance will invite. The rats on the mountain, when and how many times they were fed, not only Jinghui can master it, but there is actually another person who can master it, that is, Master He who sent the crabs. You also know very well that Jinghui is the only real nun in Fayan Temple, she must appear in the main hall in the morning and evening, and the only one who can feed the mice is Qiu Rong. ”

The footsteps under the steps became louder and louder, and Zhao Ran said clearly: "The rat came down from the mountain, and in order to prevent others from going to discover Qiu Rong too early, you even did not hesitate to perform a Buddha sound in public, convicting Qiu Rong who had helped you with death, one is to delay time, and the other is to explain your whereabouts." ”

He smiled: "It's a pity that it was this Buddha voice that exposed you." Just imagine, if Qiu Rong even dared to kill people, why didn't there be a dead mouse in her bedroom......"

"Evil words confuse the public, and the crime can be punished!" The voice of the Buddha statue said coldly, and as soon as its voice fell, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and Wantong strode in.

Zhao Ran said to the Buddha statue, "You know why I have to tell you so much nonsense. ”

He grinned, "I'm just here to verify...... You are among these nuns. ”
