185 Mingguang Temple (14 Eight Sufferings of Life)
"Spiegel, you've broken the vows."
He clasped his hands together, and his face was indifferent: "The eight hardships of life, I am here to help you stay away from resentment and love and parting, and improve your cultivation, Mingjing, it's not good to be angry." Yuan Zhi stood there, the gray monk's robe fluttering in the morning breeze, and the golden morning sun reflected on his face, which made the whole person look extremely handsome and extraordinary.
Spiegel's heart was pierced again, he wailed, crying bitterly, the monks who had just finished their morning class and were about to go to the dining hall to eat looked at this strange scene, they didn't know what was going on with the usually steady and sleek acquaintance, how could they be extremely sad.
Mingkong staggered in, his face was pale, and his yellow monk's robe was stained with dirt powder and grass, he stepped forward and pulled up the mirror who was squatting on the ground and crying bitterly, and whispered: "Go back, don't be embarrassed here." β
"I'm ashamed!" Mingjing was furious, shook off Mingkong and shouted, "What do you know? Don't pretend to be tall, I'm so annoyed! One of you is high, you are a famous painting monk, what is the noble in front of the people? It's a ghost! What about you? You keep saying that you are upset when you see a woman, and you look down on women, you and I are both born of women, I used to have sisters, and unmarried wives, and so many dreams, and now, there is nothing. It's all over, it's over! β
Mingjing wailed, pushed away Mingkong's blockade, and pounced on Yuan Zhi again. And the latter just avoided it slightly, flicked his sleeve and said lightly: "Spiegel, you have gone crazy." He turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop!" Liansheng, Yu Shizhao and Xu Yan came in from the temple gate with people, and Liansheng pointed to Yuan Zhi and asked, "Yuan Zhi." Do you really have no heart? β
Yuan Zhi looked back and smiled: "Master Gu, we cultivators just want to completely wipe out our own hearts and emotions, and have no desires and no desires. When you ask me here if I have a heart, are you doubting my cultivation? β
"What a practice!" Yu Shizhao saw that Mingjing had collapsed because of Xuan Song's matter, and he couldn't help but sneer: "The monks are compassionate, what have you done?" I'm embarrassed to keep saying that I practice. β
"Then Your Highness tell me what the little monk has done?" Yuan Zhi was still smiling and quiet: "A lot of unbelievable things have happened in the temple recently. I know that Lord Gu's reputation for interrupting the case in Beijing is excellent, even if His Royal Highness the King is in the array, he can't find out the real culprit and take the little monk perfunctory. β
What he said sounded magnificently, and Liansheng listened to it and held it in his heart. Truly. All suspicions point to Yuan Zhi, but there is no way to convict him, and there is a lack of key evidence.
"Mingkong, quickly help Mingjing away. What a system is it to make a noise at the door. Yuan Zhi gave orders to Mingkong. Mingkong glared at him fiercely and asked, "Is it you?" Why do they all say you did it! β
"You don't understand the truth of the accumulation of gold and the destruction of bones, right? They say I'm a murderer, I'm a murderer? How many people still say that I have a Buddha appearance? Am I a Buddha? Hahaha. When did you become so naΓ―ve, it's ridiculous. Yuan Zhi flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Xu Yan saw that Yuan Zhi was so arrogant. Angry's hands clenched into fists, and he couldn't wait to rush up and hit him. Ming Kong shook his head in annoyance, called the two little novices, and asked them to help Ming Kong back to the guest hall with him.
Xu Yan usually hates Mingjing and Mingkong, but when she saw Mingjing's sad look on her face, she couldn't bear it in her heart, so she stepped forward and took out a small box and handed it to Mingkong: "He's too stimulated and a little crazy, you can give him this medicine to drink, and it will be fine." β
Mingkong took it and clasped his hands together: "Thank you to the female benefactor." β
He didn't care at all about Xu Yan blocking his mouth just now. Xu Yan couldn't help but be surprised and asked him, "You are not angry with me." β
Mingkong was still expressionless: "There is a hurry, it was the little monk who almost delayed the big thing, of course, it is always wrong for the female benefactor to do it to the man at will." β
Xu Yan was sullen and said in her heart: Mingkong, you are really a dog, you can't change that.
Mingkong saluted Liansheng and the others again, and ordered people to leave with the mirror.
"Master, Yuan Zhi is so arrogant, I'm so angry."
Back in the small courtyard, Xu Yan kicked the rockery in a huff, and she sighed in pain.
"What's the solution, we lack key evidence, we don't have witnesses. Those nuns could only prove that Xuan Song and Xuan Qing were dating a man with a pine scent, and that Xuan Song heard the sound of the piano on the night they died, but they couldn't be sure that the man was Yuan Zhi.
"This Yuan Zhi looked at a handsome person, who would have thought that it would be a devil." Xu Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Devil!
Xu Yan's words reminded Liansheng.
"Xu Yan, do you remember the day when the Qin family's nurse shouted ghosts? At the time, we thought she was delirious and shouted at Miaoguang, but now that we think about it, she should have recognized Yuan Zhi at that time! β
"Yuan Zhi is 24 years old this year and came to Mingguang Temple eight years ago. Qin Sidao also died in Yangzhou eight years ago, could it be said that the old man of the Qin family knew Yuan Zhi? "Yu Shizhao is handling cases in Yangzhou and knows everything about the Qin family.
"Yes, it is very likely that someone in the Qin family knows Yuan Zhi and knows the relationship between Yuan Zhi and the Qin family, so let's start here." Liansheng looked at the swing in the courtyard, a gust of wind blew, the swing swayed, and Miss Qin's laughter seemed to still echo in this small courtyard that day, Liansheng secretly said in his heart: Miss Qin, Miaoguang, I must find out the real murderer of Yuan Zhi to comfort your spirit in the sky.
Yu Shizhao looked at her with firm eyes, the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, and gently pressed her shoulder: "Let it go, Yuan Zhi is too scheming, if his conspiracy is not exposed as soon as possible, the danger will be even greater in the future." I will work with you to eradicate harm for the people. β
The next day, in the name of the King of England inviting the monks of Mingguang Temple to preach the Fa, Liansheng invited Yuanzhi, Mingjing, Mingkong and others to the Dharma Hall.
Yuan Zhi's expression was calm, and Mingjing's face was obviously not good, and he didn't even dare to look up at Yuan Zhi. Mingkong still looks cold and rejects people thousands of miles away.
"This king wants to consult the Dharma today, so I invite a few of you to come." Yu Shizhao smiled, while Xu Yan frowned, standing behind Liansheng and staring at Yuan Zhi. And Yuan Zhi didn't care at all, picked up the tea bowl, and showed a smile to Xu Yan upside down. In the past, when Xu Yan saw him smiling, he only felt that the spring flowers were blooming in an instant, but at this moment, he was cold, and he couldn't wait to slash his heart to see if this heart was black or white.
"Your Highness, the dragon son and the dragon grandson, naturally whatever you say is what you say."
There was some disdain in Yuanzhi's words. Mingkong frowned and whispered, "Yuan Zhi, be cautious." β
"The Buddha said that in the world, there are sufferings in life, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love, parting, and suffering, and the five extractive sufferings. These eight sufferings surround a person's life, even if the person is bent on jumping out of these eight sufferings, this should be the cultivation. Liansheng's gaze turned to Mingkong: "Master Mingkong, you have a prejudice against women and hate women, I think this should be related to your early experience. If I'm not mistaken, you must have suffered a lot from women in your childhood. β
"Yes, my biological mother died young, and my stepmother did the same thing on the surface, and I suffered a lot when I was a child."
Mingkong was very calm at the moment.
"Master Spiegel, your family is ruined, and then you happen to meet Xuan Song, in your heart, she is the representative of the best life in the past, so when you learned that Xuan Song was pregnant, you felt that the whole world collapsed and could not help yourself. Isn't it? β
Hearing this, Ming Spiegel lowered his head, nodded slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "I thought that I had nothing to do with Xuansong, but ...... But yesterday I knew about it...... Still can't control yourself...... Amitabha...... The little monk's cultivation is too shallow......"
"Master Mingjing, this is all human nature, which shows that you and Master Mingkong are pure in nature, unlike some people who look at a ball of harmony, in fact, they are cold-blooded to the extreme, and they can't be called human."
When Yuan Zhi heard Lian Sheng say this, he still looked indifferent and didn't care.
"Bring Aunt Mu in." Liansheng clapped his hands, only to see Xiaoxiu walking in with a middle-aged woman in his arms.
Yuan Zhi looked at the woman, and suddenly, the tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and his lips trembled: "You...... Aren't you dead? How could it be here! (To be continued......)
PS: Guess, who is that woman? The truth is really hurtful
