Lao Zhen nodded: "Concubine Chen gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, the Queen Mother Lafayette can't tolerate Concubine Chen, naturally she can't tolerate her children, especially the boy who has hope of inheriting the throne, she has always believed that the well-behaved Majesty Xià since childhood will suddenly turn against her, it was instigated by Concubine Chen, there is chaos inside and outside the palace, in order to keep the bloodline of Concubine Chen, she can only leave the princess, and take advantage of the chaos to send the little prince out of the palace. ”

Autumn leaves' white eyes flashed with a sneering gaze, this is the logic of the world, Lafayette, as a woman in power, will also think that men's ambitions are women's sins, no matter how bad his son is, he is also his only son, and all the ambitions of the emperor are born because of the 'fox spirit', and the fox spirit is always guilty and deserves death.

Why should women be embarrassed by women.

And most of the time the persecution of women is also a woman.

"His Majesty loves the little princess very much, he is not worried that other palace concubines will take the little princess, personally raise it by his side, give a father all the love that a father can give to the girl, and even for the little princess, he finally reached some consensus with the Queen Mother Lafayette, and the army of King Qin pushed back their respective fiefdoms, and His Majesty Xià no longer tried to bring down the Du family, but the Queen Mother Lafayette Yide can have the right to listen to the government, but he cannot forcibly meddle in the affairs of the court, and it can be regarded as peaceful."

Qiu Yebai suddenly asked, "What about Concubine Chen?" ”

Lao Zhen paused: "Raid the family and destroy the nine clans." ”

Autumn leaves couldn't help but sneer, is this the emperor's love? Let your lover carry the black pot with the whole family?

Lao Zhen shook his head: "This is a human matter, even if the emperor of the Heavenly Family has too much helplessness, such a matter that will harm the dynasty, it can't be explained to the people of the world, but it is not as easy as these outsiders in our family." ”

Autumn leaves lowered her eyes and didn't speak, she could understand the suffering of the emperor's bag, but she could never understand that a man would sacrifice his loved one so completely.

Lao Zhen sighed: "The next thing, you may have heard among the people, Her Royal Highness the princess still had an accident when she was six years old and could not be saved." ”

She raised her eyebrows: "And then, I remembered that there is such a son?" ”

Lao Zhen was silent for a while, and then said: "Our family was in charge of a small family temple dedicated to the unknown general, far away from the royal hunting garden. ”

His expression became distant, and the corners of his lips curled into a gentle smile: "When Master Keats of Wutai Mountain traveled to the small temple, he once grinded the top for Ah Chu, and he asserted that this son has very deep roots in wisdom, and the Buddha is very thick, and he will become a generation of grandmasters and the world for generations....... ”

"The Diamond Sutra" once said - a qiē has a law, such as a dream bubble, when Ah Chu was six years old, someone suddenly came to the palace, and it was His Majesty Xià himself, although he has converted to Buddhism, but the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, not to mention that it is His Majesty's own flesh and blood, our family is not reluctant, what can we do?" Lao Zhen closed his eyes, a deep pain flashed in his expression, and he smiled bitterly.

"Our family still thinks that His Majesty loves the princess so much, then he will definitely love this child who he has never been able to hold with his own hands and has not met for six years, not to mention that Ah Chu is such a well-behaved and sensible child, and he was born like a boy in front of the Buddha, whether it is a village woman under the mountain, or a big family lady who has seen him, there is no one who doesn't like him, and it is not a good thing to return to the palace, he is still so young, his background is so noble, but he has never seen the glory of this world, our family has always thought that Ah Chu is going back to enjoy happiness."

Lao Zhen said that at the end, his voice couldn't help but tremble, and he put one hand against his forehead: "But I never thought about ......it." ”

"But I never thought that although the princess died, and the emperor did not mourn secretly, he took Ah Chu over, and did not give him the identity he deserved, in order to let his son live in the palace 'safely', let him replace the identity of the princess,?" Akiba's white gaze swept over the sleeping Baili Chu beside him, he was not restless in the coma, frowning, and his pale face gradually flushed.

She knew that it was because she had been drowning for too long, so she began to have a fever, she hesitated for a moment, but silently reached out and took a towel from the basin on the side, wrung it out, and put it on Bai Lichu's forehead.

Shuangbai had already given him medicine earlier, so as long as he helped him sweat and keep his body temperature from burning too high, it would be fine.

Lao Zhen didn't notice her movements, only his slender eyes looked directly at Bai Lichu who was unconscious on the bed, and the look on his face seemed to be confused and painful because he had fallen into some distant memories.

"Lao Zhen?" When Akiba Bai put down the towel, he suddenly noticed the strangeness of his expression, and his heart suddenly moved, and he blurted out: "What is the incense ceremony of Shingon Palace?" ”

This is a question she has buried in her heart for a long time, and later after she knew that Baili Chu and Yuan Ze were the same person, she once recalled the moonlit night on that boat, and always suspected that the person who answered her question was not Yuan Ze at all, but Bai Li Chu.

Because later she asked Yuan Ze tentatively, but Yuan Ze looked ignorant and dazed.

And Baili Chu didn't tell her what the incense ceremony was, and he didn't mean to mention it later.

But she always felt that this mysterious 'incense ceremony' must be the most crucial part of a thing.

When Lao Zhen heard this, the muscles on his face twitched twice instantly, as if he mentioned something unbearable for him, and he subconsciously pinched the stool on the side in his hand: "Lord Qiu has heard something." ”

After a while, he seemed to have eased up, and his voice was strange and rough: "Our family originally heard the news, and it was also like Lord Akiba, thinking that His Majesty had good intentions, and in order to let Ah Chu 'live better', he announced to the public that the princess was seriously injured and weak and needed to go to the immortal mountain master outside the palace to recuperate, but in fact, people secretly faked Ah Chu's identity and sent Ah Chu to the Shingon Palace to participate in the selection of spirit children...... Speaking of which, His Majesty is indeed well-intentioned! ”

Lao Zhen's last sentence was almost squeezed out of his teeth.

"What does His Majesty the Emperor want to do?" Qiu Yebai frowned slightly, she felt more and more that this emperor was not simple, maybe he had never given up the idea of bringing down the Du family at all.

That night, although Baili Chu did not tell her what the incense ceremony was, he revealed that the Shingon Palace was mysterious, and all the national teachers were selected by the Shingon Palace, and they were inextricably linked with the Du family whether it was to the royal family or the government, and even affected the selection of recent generations of emperors!

Lao Zhen closed his eyes: "His Majesty wants to spy on the secrets of the Shingon Palace and control the Shingon Palace, but he doesn't know it at all...... I don't know what it takes to become a 'reincarnated spirit child' and a 'national teacher' who controls the fortunes of the country....... ”

He looked at Akiba Bai and showed a strange and hideous smile: "It's an infernal hell that turns people into demons and demons, so ...... Ah Chu has never sued Lord Qiu! ”

Lao Zhen's last sentence was light and cold, but it made people feel abnormally cold.

Qiu Yebai inexplicably only felt a chill on his back, and he didn't want to listen to Lao Zhen anymore at that moment.

"They believe in the lord of the three thousand worlds, the Maha Shura, that is, the Great Freedom Heaven, the altar saint of the Central Plains Mahayana Buddhism, but if in the Tianzhu Holy Religion, it is the great god Shiva who dominates the existence of all things and creates zào, and also dominates the destruction of miè, and also dominates the sorrows, joys, honors and disgraces of the world, in the teachings of the Shingon Palace, all the candidates who may be selected as the reincarnation of the Great Freedom Heaven are 'precious treasures', how precious is it?"

Lao Zhen seemed to be a different person, and his expression was weird, and he smiled: "It is so precious that the spirit child who was finally selected, the spirit child who was recognized as the reincarnation of the living Buddha, must eat all the other precious spirit children to gather all the Buddha spirits into one body and become a Buddha on the spot!" ”

Akiba Bai's face was a little pale, and he didn't react a little: "What does this mean?" ”

Lao Zhen squinted his eyes, took a handkerchief and carefully wiped his hands for Baili Chu: "It is literally meaning, flowers bloom and give birth to two sides, between the demons and Buddhas in life, in the legal code, Shiva or Da Zi Tian was originally the most terrifying but also the most generous Buddha, and also the closest to the gods and Buddhas of man, good and evil in one, in the legends that have been passed down for thousands of years, Shiva not only accepts the "living sacrifice" as the ferocious and terrible "Lord of Demons", commands the hell thousands of ghosts and demons, but also accepts the worship of incense as the loving "King of Gods and Buddhas"; , is both a handsome god who indulges his desires, and an ascetic who has a pure heart and few desires. ”

"Therefore, the reincarnation of the Living Buddha of Shingon Palace must naturally have the two natures of great freedom and heaven - he is the strongest and most cruel demon in the world, and he must be the most compassionate and clear Buddha in the world...... He has to be able to eat his own kind as a perfect practice, and at the same time he has to be able to penetrate the world's laws and have the cleanest eyes. ”

"You mean...... You mean...... Eat....... "Autumn leaves' white face is iron-blue, even though she is well-informed and sees all things in the world, but this kind of 'practice' only flashes in her mind, and almost makes her sick.

Lao Zhen didn't seem to see Autumn Leaf Bai's expression at all, he fell into his own world, his eyes fell on the darkness of nothingness outside the window, and he whispered to himself.

"Our little Ah Chu, he is still so young, so well-behaved, so pious, but he is the same as an animal, after being trained simply...... Locked in the huge underground palace where the palace masters of the Shingon Palace are buried, all the children only have ten days' rations in their hands, except for the mausoleum of the palace master, there is a merman oil lamp in the underground palace, there is not even a lamp in other places, there is only a spring, and the water bubbles up for half an hour every three days, all the children are locked in such a dark place, such a cold and gloomy hell, and out of the coffin is the skeleton of countless slaves and the skeletons of the children left by the living Buddhas selected by the past generations, oh, by the way, there are piles of quicklime powder and spice ...... to prevent epidemics. ”

"On the last day of every month, the master of Shingon Palace will send someone down to get the surviving children out, check their bodies, and teach them some new martial arts, the most important of which is to listen to the sutras and meditate, and understand the Dharma, if they have lost their minds and have no understanding of the Dharma, they will be killed, and then the remaining children will be thrown into the damned hell, and so on, for a month and a year, until one day, there is only one 'spirit child' left, and the living Buddha is born."

He paused, suddenly turned his head and stared directly at Qiu Yebai, whose face was pale, and said very lightly: "Lord Qiu, from six years old to thirteen years old, for seven years, our family has never understood how that child survived, ate all the plants and insects that could be eaten in the dungeon, and then relied on eating ......." ”

He couldn't go on anymore, and the memories were so horrible that he choked up completely.

“……。” Qiu Yebai was still immersed in the terrifying artistic conception depicted by Lao Zhen, and he couldn't come back to his senses at all.

Lao Zhen suddenly grabbed Qiu Yebai's wrist and asked anxiously and blankly: "Do you say that our little Ah Chu will be afraid of the cold, will he be afraid of the dark, he is such a gentle child, so thin, he must be very painful, very hungry, very hungry...... Every time our family saw him at night, he was covered in wounds...... Every time, he is skinny and skinny, like a small skeleton, such a small child...... In the first two years, our family thought that he had almost never grown up, so small...... Tiny body. ”

Qiu Yebai was almost pinched by him and her wrist hurt, looking at Lao Zhen's wrinkled old face that was already full of tears, she couldn't help but blushed slightly, and comforted softly: "He survived, Lao Zhen." ”

Lao Zhen seemed to have just come back to his senses, with a palpitation, but extremely happy: "Yes, I survived, I survived, my little Ah Chu survived." ”

He grabbed the towel that Baili Chu had changed and soaked it in the basin, and slowly washed it while chanting: "But our family is distressed, our family has never had a child in this life, so we treat Ah Chu as our own child, but every time I think of Xiao Ah Chu banging on the door of the underground palace in that hell, he called out in such a desperate and immature voice, 'Master, ah...... Master, why didn't you come, why didn't the Buddha come to save me' Our family can only watch him ...... again and again Again and again...... Imprisoned in hell. ”

"Our family's heart can't help but hurt, watching our children become the same person step by step, the devil is not a demon, our family hates ......it."

Akiba Bai closed her reddened eyes, and her heart couldn't help but tremble and a cold rage.

No wonder Aze is so ignorant and innocent, but he can kill the people who destroy food without hesitation, no wonder he always doesn't remember what Ah Chu has done, no wonder Ah Chu can treat all beings so cruelly.

I have to say that the Shingon Palace has succeeded, and this miserable 'incense ceremony' is to tear people in half and save it, and it has really achieved the supreme demon Buddha of the real existence in the world - the Great Freedom Heaven or Shiva God.

He is both an avenger and a protector, the most cruel god full of desire, and the most merciful and clear demon.

And Aze, as the Buddha-nature side, his greatest kindness to the human world is to try his best to suppress Ah Chu, who is the 'demonic' side.

How can there be such cruel people in this world, how can they come up with such a horrific and non-human way to distort human nature?

can be so cruel to such a young child.

In order to achieve their own goals, people are indeed the most cruel beasts in this world, and even the most cruel beasts in this world, and even the beasts are not as good as the beasts.

Lao Zhen seemed to calm down a little, and only then did he realize that he had grabbed the cyan mark on Qiu Yebai's wrist, and he was immediately startled and let go of his hand: "Lord Qiu, I'm sorry, our family ......." ”

"It's okay, Grandpa Zhen." Qiu Yebai interrupted him, calmed down his surging heart, and asked with some hesitation: "Grandpa Zhen, how did you know so clearly, you followed His Highness into the Shingon Palace?" ”

Lao Zhen froze, was silent for a moment, and then lowered his eyes: "Don't hide from Lord Qiu, our family is one of the people in the Shingon Palace who teaches the scriptures to the children." ”

It turned out that Lao Zhen had been uneasy since he sent Baili Chu, or Baili Chuze, back to the palace, because the temple he was in was originally one of the extremely secret escape points known to the emperors of the Baili Royal, and the Temple of the Unknown General he guarded was just a disguise, because their existence was extremely secret, and the emperors would not use it.

But after raising the prince, who can be regarded as a person on the side of the emperor's henchmen, he used some connections to find out the news, and as a result of many investigations, he got the news that made him even more worried.

So he couldn't hold back his worries about his little monk, and after thinking about it, he finally decided to use the qiē method that he could use to infiltrate the Shingon Palace and find out the news after Baili Chuze left for a year.

After experiencing a lot of dangerous twists and turns, Lao Zhen relied on his orthodox Buddhist background to have excellent Buddhist cultivation, mixed into the Shingon Palace, and became an evangelist, and thus witnessed the growth and past of the hundred miles for so many years.

"Our family is a waste, useless, there is no way to escape with Xiao Ah Chu, I can only watch it like this, watching the clean, soft crystal child become a 'spirit child', how ironic the world is, Senior Brother Keats has calculated that Xiao Ah Chu has a deep Buddha relationship, but our family would rather he never have any wisdom roots!" Lao Zhen closed his eyes, his dry eyes seemed to be unable to shed tears.

Akiba Bai looked at the person lying quietly beside her, her eyes were full of confusion and sadness, as well as pain that she had not seen.

They all say that my Buddha is compassionate, and they all say that the world is full of thorns, who can know that this Buddha's heart is hell.

The six realms are empty, but they can never achieve positive results.

This is the saddest tear of the Buddha.
