Chapter 114: Treasure Scroll
invited the opera troupe to sing, but unfortunately just an hour before the opening, the political envoy of Beiping actually came with his wife, King Yan and the princess went to greet him, Zhang Zhaohua didn't know if the political envoy would stay for a banquet, so he prepared the night banquet first, and at the same time, because this He family class was the first time to come to the palace to sing, Zhang Zhaohua didn't dare to pack a ticket to sing well, so let them try to sing in the listening pavilion first.

Before singing the treasure scroll, there was a set of incense burning incense to invite the Buddha, and then a person wanted to sit in the middle and preach, singing: "The Maitreya treasure scroll is just unfolded, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have descended." The eight gods of the heavenly dragon rejoice and bless the public from disaster. "Baojuan is actually a form of rap and confession, in the form of one or two people performing to the end, followed by an ensemble of instruments such as gongs and drums, clappers, and square sounds, and when singing, there are two parts: rhyme and prose. Today's play is called "Buddhism's Journey to the West Compassion Treasure Scroll Dojo", which is the story of Tang Seng learning scriptures, and it is also quite a bit of treasure solemnity.
Zhang Zhaohua didn't hear it for a long time, then he got up and went to change his clothes, and just after changing his clothes, he didn't wait for a break to rest, when he saw two little palace maids hurrying over with their skirts: "Niangniang, go and take a look, there's chaos in the pavilion!"
Zhang Zhaohua asked them what was going on, they couldn't say clearly, they just spit out the words "Maitreya" in their mouths, and when Zhang Zhaohua arrived at the Tingyin Pavilion, he was startled, because he saw that most of the palace maids were scattered, and the rest of Mrs. Wang They all looked bad, seemed to be anxious and overwhelmed, and the whole class of the He family class had been tied up, all kneeling on the ground, and their mouths were stuffed with things, but they still kowtowed.
Yongping and Yong'an turned out of Hudu Gate, their faces were very bad, and Yongping also shouted: "The palace is heavy, and it has actually mixed in with the remnants of the White Lotus Sect!
White Lotus Sect - Zhang Zhaohua was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What White Lotus Sect remnants?"
Yongping's anger did not subside: "What did you listen to what they sang? Maitreya Buddha! A group of demons of the White Lotus Sect still dare to say that they are wronged!"
Zhang Zhaohua said: "How can singing Maitreya Buddha be the White Lotus Sect?"
"It's not just this, brother and sister," Yongan came up with his heart and showed Zhang Zhaohua a booklet: "Look at what is written on it, mention lifeless words, and return to your hometown early - where is this orthodox Buddhism, isn't this, isn't this ......?"
Zhang Zhaohua took it and took a look, only to see that the cover of this square album was a cardboard mounted yellow color silk, and the text was copied in small letters, of which there were 8 pages of painted illustrations, which were extremely finely written. The last page of the volume is inscribed with a painted dragon plaque, which is scribbled with gold powder, and reads it as: Hongwu three years, the disciple He Shi charity.
It should be a hand-copied scripture treasure scroll by a female disciple, she opened the scriptures and looked at it, and found that it was not the song "Buddhism Westward Journey to the Compassion Treasure Scroll Dojo" just sang, but "Mulian Saves His Mother from Hell and Gives Birth to Heaven Treasure Scroll", which really has a few words that cannot be explained clearly, such as "The old man of Sichuan said: 'If the poor get the treasure, the baby sees the mother, the boat arrives on the shore, and the lonely guest returns to his hometown', and for example, "Once I stepped on the road to my hometown, I realized that the days and months were long on the way." Stepping on the hometown field road, there is no north-south and east-west. Once he saw through his mother's face, Fang Xin's idle name was full of lakes".
These "no life", "hometown", "return to hometown", and "mother" in the treasure scroll are indeed very similar to the White Lotus Sect's "no birth old mother, vacuum hometown", Zhang Zhaohua frowned and said: "Let that class master come over, I asked him what these words mean." ”
The master of the He class was tied up, and when asked, he said: "The villain is really not a member of the White Lotus Society, the mother is called in this volume, all because Mulian wants to save his mother, the word 'no life' The villain knows, it is synonymous with Nirvana, "Nirvana Sutra" says that "there is only one Nirvana in the scriptures, and if you come to speak with the scriptures, it is also called Wusheng, it is also called Wudo, it is also called Wuwei, it is also called liberation, it is also called the other side, although there are many differences, it is just Nirvana, it is one". ”
Zhang Zhaohua didn't have any problem when she heard it, in fact, she felt that she couldn't just judge that the person who sang the opera was a member of the White Lotus Sect just through these two specious words, besides, the palace was strict, and when they were called to sing, when they passed the curfew, they must have all been searched, and it was impossible for them to bring in real knives and guns - sure enough, Yongping shouted for a big copy, turning the backstage upside down, and the boxes and cabinets were only costumes, musical instruments and the like, and there were no forbidden things.
Zhang Zhaohua was about to shout to stop, but suddenly someone said: "It's been searched, what is this thing?"
But it turned out that under the costume, a red gold inlaid jade dragonfly grass insect hairpin was pressed, this thing should not be there, because this troupe makes a living by singing treasure scrolls, and the treasure scrolls are compiled by monks and nuns to promote teachings, which is a kind of vulgar saying, so the people who sing on the stage are completely different from the musicians, and they will never be grease and powdered all over their heads full of gold and jade.
So what is the reason why this golden hairpin appears under the box, it is really puzzling. And the people in the troupe actually looked at each other, and none of them admitted that it was their own thing, and they all said that they had never seen it before.
"Show me. Yongping firmly believed that these people were the people of the White Lotus Sect, and sneered: "You people, what are you still doing to be innocent! Men and women are thieves and prostitutes, and they are still denying it when they have evidence!"
Zhang Zhaohua was shocked for a moment, snatched the hairpin with his hand, and sure enough, he saw the carved words, and said: "I'm afraid that the blue word is the name of the craftsman, and I can't ask anything about it, there are many people today, I'm afraid that some female relatives have lost something, and they have it, and they are shallow and greedy, and they refuse to pay it back, so they only do it for themselves." ”
Yongping shouted: "The jewelry made by the treasure in our house, the craftsman does not sign, it must be which lady has lost it, and I haven't paid attention to it!" Everyone checked it out, and they all said that it was not their own.
"Look at this style, it's obviously made in the palace," Yongping looked at the hairpin again, and said suspiciously: "It should be the workmanship of the treasure house!"
Everyone was at a loss, but suddenly they heard Yong'an exclaim, "Ah-no, isn't it, isn't this a blue ornament!"
Zhang Zhaohua's heart jumped, and when he looked up, he saw that Yongping was still holding on to the word "blue", and Mrs. Wang on the opposite side was already pale.
"That's impossible," Yongping shook his head and said, "Lan Lan is not in the palace today, where did they steal Lan Lan's things!"
It's okay not to say this, but everyone is quiet when he says it, Zhang Zhaohua is angry and anxious, but on his face, he didn't seem to hear what she said, so he only put the hairpin in his sleeve and said: "Today should be a good day in Duanyang, and there is such a headless and inexplicable scene, and there is no interest in ruining it, we simply don't listen to this play, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall of the things preached to the village husband and foolish woman in the countryside, you might as well go to the Changzhou Pavilion in the back garden with me, let's set up a feast and have a good drink!"
As soon as she said this, everyone took the opportunity to say: "Let the princess decide!"
Zhang Zhaohua ordered someone to clean up the place, sent the troupe and others to the trial center to detain them, and then led everyone to the back garden to play. It's just that after that, although they tried their best to liven up the atmosphere, everyone seemed to be absent-minded, and the staggered planning was not happy, and the banquet ended in a hurry.
