Chapter 170: I Am a Buddha?

Luo Weiran always felt that the emperor was a little unusual today, because the emperor was actually in a daze. After talking to Su Buxing for a few words, the emperor asked him to find Luo Weiran. After that, the Emperor watched as the lotus pond fell silent again. This was a scene that was difficult to see, so Luo Weiran couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the emperor.

When he was far away, he leaned down and saluted, calling out to His Majesty.

The emperor came back from his daze, glanced at Luo Weiran, and then raised his hand and pointed to the stone bench not far away: "Sit down and talk." ”

Luo Weiran didn't refuse, walked to the stone bench and sat down. In front of the emperor, it is very impolite to sit down. If the emperor asks you to sit, you will sit, but if you really sit as steadily as you do with your friends, you will be seen by others, and you will immediately be disrespectful.

Su Buwei was still standing behind the emperor, keeping a distance of about one and a half steps.

When Luo Weiran came, Su Buwei had already told him that His Majesty wanted to investigate the cause of Wu Weisheng's death again, so Luo Weiran was prepared. But the things he prepared were obviously useless, and the first thing His Majesty asked was: "How is Fang Xie in prison?" ”

Luo Weiran hurriedly replied: "Yesterday, he annoyed Her Royal Highness the Princess, and he also angered Hou Wenji. ”

"Wanting mentioned this matter to me, and Hou Wenji also told me yesterday that Fang Xie was disrespectful to me, and he was angry with Wanting...... Isn't his time in your Ouchi Guard's prison too comfortable? I heard that he gave him whatever he wanted, what he wanted to eat, and even wanted to compose poems and write, and you even sent the four treasures of the study room. Where is this in jail? It's clearly enjoying! ”

Although the emperor's tone was a little harsh, Luo Weiran knew that His Majesty was not really angry. He had been by the emperor's side for eleven years, and he knew the emperor far better than the average courtier. He knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess was disgusted and vomited by Fang Jie, and he also knew that His Majesty was not human. There is no need for Hou Wenji to hide such a trivial matter from him, of course, there is nothing to hide from him in the Ouchi Guard.

"It really deserves to be punished."

Luo Weiran lowered his head and said, "But...... No increase in sentences, no coercion of confessions, no embarrassment...... It is Your Majesty's will. ”

"Really?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said with some annoyance: "Then you can't let him do nonsense, go back and starve him for two days, see if he still has the strength to be clever, and whether he has the strength to lose his temper!" ”

"Obey the Order"

"But ......"

The emperor's tone changed, and he sighed slightly and said, "He is like this, but it makes me feel that there is no ghost in his heart." You stare at him every day, Hou Wenji also stares at him every day, the eyes of both of you are poisonous enough, you both say that he looks a little self-defeating, a little angry, and a little crazy and stupid...... And what is pretended to be a little contrived. ”

He paused and continued: "I met Du Hongxian a few days ago, and she also said that Fang Xie is the heir of Lao Qi, so it shouldn't be wrong to think about this matter...... What needs to be determined now is whether there is any connection between Fang Xie and Buddhism. It must be carefully investigated, and it must not be perfunctory. The example I hold up in my own hands cannot be used as evidence to accuse me of being an idiot in the future. If he really has any connection to Buddhism, then I am a complete joke! ”

"Of course...... If he has nothing to do with Buddhism. I gave him what I gave him before, and I gave it back to him. He is still a rare genius in the past hundred years of the Great Sui, and he is also the number one in the Academy of Martial Arts. ”

"I understand."

Luo Weiran nodded and said, "But the minister is the junior brother of Prince Zhong, and this matter is left to the minister...... The minister was afraid of unfairness, so it was better for the minister to withdraw and hand it all over to Hou Wenji. Investigating the case, he is more than the minister. ”

"Hou Wenji has other things, you can keep an eye on Fang Jie's affairs."

The emperor waved his hand, was silent for a while, and then asked, "You can tell me about the events before and after the seventh child found you." ”

"Yes"

Luo Weiran said: "That year, the minister was still practicing with his master in the mountains, and Prince Zhong was the second senior brother of the minister. It's just that at that time, a few of us didn't know his identity, and none of us thought that the second senior brother would be an important minister of the Tianhuang noble country. The second senior brother is often not in the mountains, but his cultivation is the most admirable of our senior brothers. He is a true genius, and he can comprehend more than a year of practice for a day. ”

"The minister remembered that at that time, the minister was practicing ten steps to chop, and Prince Zhong returned to the sect to find the minister alone. He asked his ministers not to ask anything, and immediately packed up his things and set off for Chang'an City. Let the minister enter the palace to see His Majesty, he gave the minister a handwritten letter and asked the minister to hand it over to Your Majesty. Our senior brothers have great respect for the second senior brother, so although I don't know what he is going to do, I still left the sect immediately and rushed to Chang'an, and I haven't left since. ”

The emperor snorted, pondered for a while and asked, "Lao Qi's entry into the mountain to practice was arranged by the emperor, and I didn't know it at the beginning. The four of you brothers are all good helpers of mine. Xiao Zhenren is already the leader of the Taoist Sect and commands the rivers and lakes for me. You have been working in the Ouchi guard for eleven years, and you have done your best. Even if it's Xiang Qingniu...... When Xiao Zhenren gets old, he will naturally be the only one who will take over the Dao system. ”

"Xiao Zhenren has four disciples, but he will never leave the Dao Sect. You don't have a descendant, and the green cow doesn't. If Fang Xie is the descendant of Lao Qi, then he is the only disciple among the four of your senior brothers who have entered the world. I never wanted to kill him directly to prevent future troubles, but wanted to return his innocence. ”

"The minister understands His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

"Let's go and find out how Wu Xiangsheng died."

The emperor's turn was so abrupt that Luo Weiran couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

"Huh?"

Luo Weiran sighed, then nodded and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Su Buxing said that Wu had said before accompanying Sheng to the west that he would not come back nine times out of ten. Although he has many mistakes, he is responsible for me and is conscientious and meticulous. Maybe he found something shady in the northwest that didn't see the light of day, and he died...... Don't make a big deal about it, and don't mention it to anyone. Send your own cronies to the northwest to secretly verify, and don't reveal it to anyone in the government and military, do you understand? ”

"The minister understands!"

"I don't want to make the northwest unquiet at this time, but I can't allow others to deceive me!"

"Whoa!"

"And ...... Let Qiu Yu go to the prison from time to time to see Fang Jie, his cultivation cannot be left behind. ”

"That'...... Still hungry for two days? ”

Luo Weiran asked tentatively.

The emperor stood up, puffed his chest slightly, and said, "You have no jokes!" ”

"The girl who bullied me, if you don't kill him, I am merciful. Hungry him for two days, if Mao doesn't go well...... Starve him for three days, five days, and starve him not to death! ”

……

……

The door creaked and was pulled open from the outside, and Fang Jie, who was lying on the stone bed, didn't even bother to turn back. He lay facing the wall, his back to the door, motionless.

The person who walked in the door was Zhuo Buyi, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Fang Jie's appearance.

Sitting down on the chair, Zhuo Buyi was silent for a long time and did not speak. He looked at Fang Jie's back, and there was a deep apology in his eyes.

"You're not someone who has a habit of turning your back to someone else."

After a while, Zhuo Buyi looked at Fang Xie and said.

Fang Jie's shoulders trembled slightly on the stone bed, and a small sneer clearly reached Zhuo Buyi's ears. Zhuo Buyi knew that Fang Xie was angry, but he didn't know how to continue the conversation. What happened on Half Moon Mountain that day, the blow to Fang Xie can be imagined.

"In your opinion, is human life cheaper than dog life?"

Fang Xie turned over and sat up, looked directly into Zhuo Buyi's eyes and asked.

Zhuo Buyi knew what Fang Xie was referring to, and several students of the Martial Arts Academy died on Half Moon Mountain that day. They were all innocent people, and dying there was indeed unexpected.

"No plan is perfect, such thing as a dead man...... There is no need to dwell on it. There is no denying that they died innocently. But if it weren't for them, you wouldn't have been able to kill Chenya. We won't seriously hurt our wisdom, so in the final analysis, they have made a contribution to the Great Sui. Dying for the meritorious service of the Great Sui is not unjust. ”

"What kind of bullshit theory is this?!"

Fang Xie glared at Zhuo Buyi and said angrily.

"Every Sui person has the consciousness of sacrificing for the Great Sui at all times. You don't have to question that, including yourself...... You don't have to deny that if you weren't that kind of person, you wouldn't be in front of anyone else that day. ”

"I'm not that great."

Fang Xie said coldly: "I have a personal enmity with that bald donkey, he wants to kill me, and he also injured the big dog, even if there are no classmates, I will stand up." ”

"I'll believe it?"

Zhuo Buyi shook his head and said, "Most of the time you will turn around and run." ”

"I-fuck-you uncle!"

Fang Xie said angrily: "If you are here to say this, then you can get out." If Lao Tzu can go, he will never listen to you chirp here! ”

Zhuo Buyi said seriously: "If you scold me again, I will beat you." ”

Fang Xie was stunned, and simply turned his head and ignored him. After a long while, Fang Xie let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you." ”

"Thanks for what?"

Zhuo Buyi asked.

"Others don't know, but I know it myself."

Fang Xie said with some emotion in his tone: "Those people thought that I killed Chenya, and thought that I was really so capable of fighting." If you hadn't used the painting to freeze the earth for a moment at the most critical moment, how could I have killed him? ”

Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "You're gambling, so you don't need to thank me, it's just that you made the right bet." You know I'm not going to watch you die, and you've counted me in from the moment you rushed over. ”

Fang Xie did not deny it.

"There's one thing I don't understand."

Fang Xie asked: "That stupid fool called wisdom, why can he kill me, and there are still two chances, but why don't you kill me?" ”

Zhuo Buyi thought for a while and replied, "If you figured out this matter, you would have been sitting in the house of the Yanwu Academy and listening to the professor's lecture by now." ”

"I see."

Fang Xie sighed: "I've never been sure why they arrested me, but now I know that the original sin turned out to be because I didn't die at the hands of that old monk by luck." So, if I had died that day, I should have been lying in a big mausoleum now, and someone was out there offering me flowers? From time to time, someone will burn a handful of paper money for me and sprinkle a glass of wine. Then my name will be mentioned by people for many years, and every time I mention it, I will sigh, and a genius of the Great Sui who has not been seen in a hundred years died in vain at the hands of the people of the Buddhist sect. People will hate Buddhism even more because of my death, if you think so...... I'm damn damned. ”

"Like...... That's right. ”

Zhuo Buyi nodded.

"But it's not just because of that."

Zhuo Buyi said: "Do you know the Buddha Sect? ”

"I don't understand."

"There is a very special kind of person in Buddhism, called Buddha. They are the heirs of the Great Wheel Ming King, and one of the Buddhas will be appointed as the new Great Wheel Ming King before the Great Wheel Ming King is about to sit down. The most important feature of these Buddhas is that they are...... The indestructible body of the innate Vajra. I don't know how Buddhism does this, but a lot of people do...... There is something special about your constitution. ”

Fang Xie was stunned, and his mind lit up suddenly. Many things that I couldn't understand before became clear after hearing these words. At this moment, he even doubted himself...... Am I really a Buddha?
