Chapter 49: Possession of Evil Spirits
At the end of the year, there were sudden rumors of the haunting of Lingfeng Temple in Yecheng, not only the ordinary people in the streets and alleys, but also the children of the family and the princes and nobles who were looking for fun in the cyclamen, and the cups and lamps were all gathered one by one, and passed on each other in their mouths.
This is not groundless, first there was the first emperor who died in the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Lingfeng Temple, and this is King Kang, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, and inexplicably injured his forehead in Lingfeng Temple, not out of the evil demon road, what is it?
There is also an old man who doesn't know how old he is, swearing, touching his snow-white beard with care, and telling his children and grandchildren that he had seen the ghost in the Lingfeng Temple when he was a child, and he was also a monk, but he was holding a human leg bone and knocking on the wooden fish made of the skull.
This was originally an exaggerated statement by the old man in order to keep the children from running to the Lingfeng Temple, but unexpectedly, it was heard by the neighbors, and it was spread to a hundred places, and the more it was said, the more frightening it became.
By the time it reached the ears of Xuanyuan in the palace, it had completely become another story.
There was once a handsome monk who grew up in the temple in Lingfeng Temple, and he happened to see the wife of a powerful man during an incense party, and he was moved by his desire to miss his heart.
Later, he broke the vows and corrupted the etiquette with Mrs. Na in private, and humiliated the reputation of Buddhism. A dew marriage, the lady also gave birth to a son for the monk, the powerful did not know, only regarded it as their own blood and blood, and planned to let him inherit the lintel. But there will always be a day when the paper can't contain the fire, and the magnates will naturally be furious when they know about it, so they will push the monk and his wife down the cliff together, and they will feed the wild wolves at the bottom of the cliff.
It's just that the monk has cultivated the Tao and has become a resentful ghost, day and night, he has to take the lady's bones with him and stay in the Lingfeng Temple for a long time, so that one day he can kill the powerful man with his own hands......
I don't know which storyteller's mouth came to the palace, Dan Gonggong said, Xuanyuan listened to it, and gradually tasted something.
"Eh, Your Majesty, this monk is so scary!"
Princess Xia Wan, who was listening to the story by her side, immediately turned pale on her face, as if she was really frightened, and her whole person also leaned into Xuanyuan Jue's arms, however, she miscalculated and pounced, Xuanyuan Jue stood up at this time, put down the scroll in his hand, and walked unhurriedly in front of Gonggong Dan.
If it weren't for her brother Xia Zhengde, who was sitting on her side, who pulled her in time, she would definitely fall to the ground and make a joke.
"Father-in-law Dan, do you think this story is true or false?" Xuanyuan asked intentionally or unintentionally, stood beside Gonggong Dan, and personally dialed the charcoal brazier in the center of the room.
"This ...... According to the old slave's view, the Lingfeng Temple is a thousand-year-old treasure temple, Sanskrit sound is sage, and it is the protector of the Xuanguo Temple, how can there be such a ridiculous thing, it is nothing more than ignorant women and children in the streets and alleys chewing the root of the tongue, the emperor does not have to mind, thinking that His Royal Highness King Kang is just a moment of playfulness, and inadvertently offended the Bodhisattva, so he was slightly injured. ”
Gonggong Dan replied very respectfully, but his sharp voice, and the last mention of King Kang made Xuanyuan very awkward and uncomfortable to hear.
Here, Xia Zhengde saw Xuanyuan tighten his eyebrows, and he also pretended to mention it unintentionally, "King Kang is not informal, he is not informal, he has a competition with me in front of the princess's mansion last time, I admire it tightly!" I'm thinking about trying it again in the near future, but it looks like it's going to be postponed for a while......"
Xuanyuan listened to it, and was bored with this pair of Liang Guozong brothers and sisters from the bottom of his heart, his face was colored, and the bruises on his eyes had not yet receded, so he forgot the lesson?
Proud that he is a "distinguished guest" from Liang Guo, the so-called in-laws have not been skimmed yet, so they look down on Xuanguo?
Xuanyuan turned his face to the side, pretending not to hear Na Xia Zhengde's words, but turned to smile again, and asked Na Xia Wan, "My Xuanguo has always valued Buddhism, and every year, I and the first emperor are going to Lingfeng Temple to set up an altar to give porridge, I don't know if Princess Changle is interested in accompanying me today?" ”
Xia Wan, who has been trying her best to fit Xuanyuan Jue since she entered Xuanyuan Kingdom, was originally worried that she couldn't find a chance, but now that Xuanyuan Jue took the initiative to invite, she was naturally happy. It's just Xia Zhengde, this Xuanyuan Jue didn't ask him, and secondly, he was afraid of running into Xuanyuan Qi, so he naturally immediately found an excuse and hurried back to Changle Mansion.
Lingbong Temple, Daxiong Treasure Hall.
"Amitabha, Your Majesty is here in person, and we are really waiting to welcome ...... from afar."
Although it is a light car and a simple trip, the palace also sent someone to inform the abbot of Lingfeng Temple early in the morning, therefore, when Xuanyuan arrived at Lingfeng Temple, there were no good men and women, and even the soup kitchen was only a few people scattered there, but it was oncoming, the abbot with a fat head and big ears who were dressed in gold and a lot of monks who were also rich were many.
Regardless of appearance, regardless of clothing, Gonggong Dan is surprisingly similar to these monks.
"Amitabha, I am only here to worship the Buddha today, why should the abbot be so polite? In front of the gods and Buddhas, all beings are equal. ”
The abbot has always maintained a Maitreya Buddha-like smile on his face, and his hands are folded, but he speaks again is the supreme praise of Xuanyuan Jue. "Your Majesty is the Holy Monarch of the Son of Heaven, the Xuanguo is in trouble, and the people are suffering, thanks to Your Majesty's benevolent rule, such a great merit, we naturally deserve this courtesy."
It was a solemn scene of monks welcoming the holy king, but there was chaos at the soup kitchen at this time. The rags-gagged victims poured the hot porridge directly into it without saying a word, even if it was so hot that their throats were hoarse, and they grabbed another bowl after a bowl, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to drink it.
The movement was too loud, and Xuanyuan Jue couldn't hear it, regardless of the abbot's repeated words, Xuanyuan Jue took a few steps over, and it was just right, there was an old man who was squeezed to the back by the crowd who robbed the porridge, and one staggered and fell at Xuanyuan's feet, and even spilled all the porridge in the bowl.
The next moment, the old man ignored the pain of the fall, and fell directly to the ground, scratching with his mouth, tongue, and fingers, and swallowed the porridge mixed with muddy water desperately, not letting go of a drop.
This scene made Xuanyuan look quite piercing, and in the porridge that was spilled on the ground, there were clearly not a few grains of rice! Angry, Xuanyuan rushed to the cauldron of soup kitchen, snatched the bucket and spoon, stirred, the pot was so white that it was crystal clear, not so much porridge and rice soup, but brush the pot water.
"Boom!" The wooden bucket and spoon were thrown in front of the abbot by Xuanyuan Jue, and the original porridge water inside also splashed out, wetting the corner of the abbot's golden robe.
"You, you kept saying that you were settling down and giving porridge to the victims, this is the porridge you get from Lingfeng Temple?!"
Changing his usual gentle appearance, Xuanyuan Xuan, the new monarch of Xuanguo who had not yet performed the crown ceremony, was greatly moved. Furious, he even felt a dull pain in his left eye.
Everyone present has almost never seen Xuanyuan Jue so angry, even when Gonggong Dan talked with him at night in King Kang's mansion, and said three times and twice in his words that the first emperor was suspicious of his bloodline, he didn't see Xuanyuan Jue so coldly raised.
Xia Wan, who was still entangled like a morning glory in the imperial garden and snuggled up to Xuanyuan along the way, saw this scene at this moment, and couldn't help but hide far away. Where had she ever seen such terrifying eyes?
"Amitabha, it is because we are not strict under the rule that there will be this omission, these few have violated the precepts, as the abbot, they will be severely punished."
The abbot lowered his head, sweating on the ground, but his eyes kept glancing at Gonggong Dan who was standing beside Xuanyuan Jue. The four eyes met, it was a tacit understanding, just this simple glance, both parties seemed to tacitly think of the next step.
"Hey, the emperor, the emperor, it's all this time, I think there is not much porridge and water left, and these monks are also lazy for a while, so there is a mistake. Since the abbot master said that he would be severely punished according to the rules and precepts of the temple, the emperor does not need to be angry anymore, and please take care of the dragon's body......"
Clearing his throat, Gonggong Dan waved the dust in his hand, squeezed his eyebrows, and while supporting those monks, he squeezed out a smile that was brighter than a flower, and bowed in front of Xuanyuan Jue.
"Hmph, let's take me to the Moruo Hall where King Kang was injured that day, I heard that this Lingfeng Temple is haunted, I ...... Non-usual, good, strange ......"
Xuanyuan suddenly changed his expression again, and the corners of his mouth on one side rose high, as if he was smiling brightly like learning from Dan Gonggong, but this sudden change made Dan Gonggong feel even more cold.
He has lived in this palace since he was a child, and when the first emperor was still the crown prince, he became his personal attendant, punching and kicking, and wantonly insulting him.
But the more the new gentleman in front of him, who is incomprehensible, smiles gently, the more Father-in-law Dan feels that he is faintly like a Yama.
"This ...... Your Majesty, the Namaro Hall is actually a forbidden hall in the Lingfeng Temple, and it is the place where the abbots of the past dynasties passed away......"
The abbot said, stammering, after all, it was a monk, and what he said was not a lie. It's just that he really can't say the second half of the sentence.
"It's okay, Master Fang Cai also said that I am the Holy Monarch of the Son of Heaven, and I am blessed by the gods, and since it is a forbidden hall, why did I not go when Brother Kang went to get it?!"
As he spoke, Xuanyuan waved the sleeves of his robe, turned around and strode towards the direction of the mountain behind the temple. The abbot was covered in chaff, and his trembling hands were trembling, but he couldn't hold a Buddha bead in his hand.
Familiar with the way, more familiar than the palace, Xuanyuan Jue walked all the way, leaving Duke Dan and Princess Changle and others behind him from a distance, just like he was going to Namoruo Palace, and someone was waiting for him.
"A bunch of rubbish!" Xuanyuan muttered, the wolf looked at it, and the left eye that looked at the people behind him who had not caught up with him flickered with a hint of faint green, and his steps became faster and faster, and when he reached a place that was only a hundred steps away from the Moruo Palace, he simply carried light skills and flew directly into the hall.
"Pure life old bald donkey, do you know that the most wrong thing you have done in your life is not that you have been angry and have affected those mortals, but that you should not have thought about letting Zhenzhi take over the seal here, but before you died, you regretted it, and wanted to let him go with compassion. But I was able to escape...... Hahahaha! ”
Insolent and smiling, full of evil. Xuanyuan Zhen really changed into another person, pointing to the Buddha statue in the hall is scolding!
The Buddha statue in the hall, which looked like a pure life master, also seemed to have a sense, and instantly burst out with dazzling Buddha light.
"Hmm...... Pain! It hurts! The Buddha's light shone, and the people in the entire Lingfeng Temple were fixed, but Xuanyuan Jue was not affected by this fixation technique, but the golden light was dazzling, and his left eye was painful for a while.
"Leaving the Buddha and leaving the Buddha ......Emperor of the Buddha Buddha Buddha Emperor of the Buddha Buddha Emperor of the Buddha Buddha
The Sanskrit sound continued, and the Buddha's power appeared, which even touched the Dao Sect Technique that Yu Qinglin's senior sister and brother had originally applied on the left eye.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, it's been a long time......"
Shi Shiran, fluttering, Yu Qinglin rode his dust to fall from the sky, and couldn't help but say a palm straight to Xuanyuan Xuanyuan's heavenly spirit!
However, it was also at this moment that Yu Qing's heavenly eye at the center of his eyebrows was inexplicably tingling, and in Xuanyuan's wolf-like ghostly green left eye, a faint but familiar Yuan Spirit was scurrying uneasily in that pupil.
Yu Qinglin's pupils immediately dilated sharply, and he hurriedly forcibly withdrew his palm, stretched out a sword finger, and slashed a talisman in the air on Xuanyuan Jue's body, forcibly suppressing the evil spirit.
Xuanyuan Jue, who was out of the control of the evil spirit, immediately fell to the ground, and the Buddha's light was temporarily gone, and naturally, those who had just been fixed also returned to normal.
"Puff cough cough ......"
Xu was because he forcibly withdrew his palm just now, but Yu Qinglin was injured by his own Yuan Gong, and he actually spit vermilion, but this was not a big problem, he casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Xuanyuan who was sleeping on the ground, and looked at the Buddha statue in the hall. The next moment, Yu Qinglin held Xuanyuan on his shoulder, and he was going to take him to another temple.
A moment later, when everyone found Xuanyuan in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Yu Qinglin had already left, and they didn't know that he had ever come. What they saw was Xuanyuan sitting cross-legged on the futon.
"Lingfeng Temple has been windy, frosty and snowy for many years, and it is really time to renovate it......"
