Chapter 455: The Prime Minister and the Monk

Before the robber, he took out the cloth that was blocked in Fang Xuanling's mouth, and by the way, the mouth of the stagnation was also lifted.

As soon as Wang Wendu's mouth was free, he immediately scolded. He has been gagged for so long, and it is inevitable that his mouth will be dry and his words will not be clear, but he will be full of scolding energy, and he will even scold out the dialect.

The yellow-bearded man waved his hand and said, "There is so much nonsense. Although this guy is a general of the Weifu, he doesn't necessarily know how much he is worth, so take him down and hang him up! ”

The little minions agreed, and blocked Wang Wendu's mouth again, and pulled him out of the big cave.

The yellow-bearded man smiled at Fang Xuanling and said, "Fang Xiangye." You see, a rough man is a rough man, he has been tied up for so long and walked so far, he is still so energetic, he is really rough and thick-skinned, stupid and coarse! ”

Licking his lips, he smiled again: "How can he be like Fang Xiangye, who has fine skin and tender meat, he is quite old, and he still looks like a child." ”

Fang Xuanling only felt that his scalp was numb, and his throat was surging, and he struggled to make some saliva and moisten his mouth. He said: "This good man, although the old man is the prime minister, he has no permanent property, and he can't take out much money, even if he has some savings, he can't send it to you from Chang'an." If you tie up a sharp husband, you won't get any benefit except for causing great disaster! ”

The yellow-bearded man laughed a few times and said, "You Tang people are the most stingy." A few days ago, I tied up a monk, it is said that he was a messenger sent by the Tang Dynasty to the moat, I thought I could knock the emperor Lao Tzu a sum of money, but you didn't even have a big son. It costs me a lot to raise that bald donkey for nothing. ”

He stood up, walked up to Fang Xuanling, squatted down, and said, "That monk I originally wanted" Well, now it's going to be 10,000 yuan, if you don't give it, I'll steam him and eat it. As for you, Fang Xiangye, I think you have to be worth 100,000 yuan, right? After you have finished this transaction, I plan to change my evil ways and become a Buddha! ”

The little minions in the cave laughed in unison, and they all shouted, "Become a Buddha on the ground, become a Buddha on the ground!" ”

Fang Xuanling realized that this yellow-bearded man was making fun of himself, but he was not angry, at least he was not as angry as Wang Wendu, a good man does not suffer immediate losses, and the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty is definitely a good man. I know this very well.

Fang Xuanling asked, "Haohan, who are you from Qu Zhisheng?" "The surname of the Gaochang royal family is Ju, Tongqu, in the Tang Dynasty, these two words are the same surname, Qu Zhisheng is the last monarch of Gaochang.

The yellow-bearded man's face changed, he straightened up, snorted, and said loudly: "Grandpa will not change his name, he will not change his surname, I am indeed surnamed Qu Xiao, Qu Ming, Zhimao, Qu Zhisheng is my half-brother!" ”

Fang Xuanling listened, closed his eyes, stopped talking, it was useless to speak, and fell into the hands of this kind of Gaochang Broken Household. What good results can be.

Gao Chang was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, and the battle plan was planned by himself. It's not for nothing.

Qu Zhimao waved his hand and said, "Want to pretend to be dumb?" Okay, it's up to you, you will ask me one day, so that maybe you can't get through today's little ones, hang him up and raise him! ”

The little minions stepped forward and took Fang Yanling down with a grin.

Out of the big cave, into the tunnel, this hollow mountain is nothing else, the mountain is full of caves, I don't know how many, and all the caves are connected. After walking for a long time, I came to an even larger cave.

As soon as he entered this cave, Fang Xuanling felt a gust of wind blowing, there was a very strange smell in this wind, it was natural to smell bad, but more importantly, it would make people feel a sense of fear!

The little minions put Fang Xuanling down and said with a smile: "Fang Xiangye, looking at your appearance, it is quite difficult to raise, it is estimated that you will have to complain for only one day and beg our king for mercy!" ”

A few small minions came to the cave and said with a smile: "It's been sent over so soon, and we'll hang it up from the net." ”

These little minions looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "He is the prime minister?" It doesn't look like it, but it looks like a teacher. ”

One of the minions said, "Well, look at the elephant." When I was a child, life was still smooth, and my family could afford me to enter a private villa, and the teacher was about the same as him, with a beard and several locks! ”

There was a small minion in the back, who seemed to be a small leader. The little leader said, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and put him in the basket!" ”

The little minions agreed in unison, and pushed Fang Xuanling to the side of the cave, there was a huge thick wood on the wall of the cave on this side, the kind that two people wanted to hug together, the rough wood was fixed on the cave wall, it was very firm, and it stretched out horizontally, stretching out to the middle of the cave! Fang Xuanling looked at the other end of the rough wood, and when he saw it, he cried out in his heart. Then he saw several large ropes tied to this thick log, and each rope hung a large basket, and the person in one of the baskets he knew!

Who else could it be, it was Wang Wendu!

And under the basket, there is a bottomless abyss, a hole in the ground with a radius of seven or eight feet, pitch black, you can't see the bottom at a glance, and the cave keeps bubbling up the yin wind, which is quite terrifying. These robbers actually put their captives in baskets and hung them from holes in the ground!

This method of imprisoning the captives was very creative, not only did the captives dare not escape, even if someone came to save them. It's all quite strenuous, and if one doesn't get it right, the rescued person will have to fall into this bottomless black hole, and there will be no bones!

The little leader said to Fang Xuanling: "Fang Xiangye, I have heard of your name, it is amazing. Once when I was an ordinary person, let alone seeing the prime minister, even if I saw a servant, I had to walk around, so as not to block the way of the official and the master, and be beaten and scolded! ”

He pointed to the black hole and said with a smile: "This hole is called the bottomless pit. Straight to the center of the earth. No one knows how deep it is, but you won't be able to hear a stone if you throw it down. I hang you on this, and let the wind blow you, and defeat the fire for you. Well, don't tie it up, untie him. The prime minister wants preferential treatment! ”

The little minions laughed together: "The anger of the official master is great, and he will beat people at every turn, this bottomless pit is just right for people like you!" ”

They brought a big basket, a very big and sturdy one. There were several thick ropes tied to the basket, and Fang Xuanling was forced into the big basket, and the little minions carried him, hung him to the rough wood, pulled the wooden wheel winch, and smoothed Fang Xuanling to the middle of the rough wood, which was also the center of the bottomless pit!

Fang Xuanling can't go up to the sky, and he can't go down to the ground. Even though he was well-informed, this was the first time he had heard of this kind of cell, and he couldn't help but change color on his face and couldn't speak.

The minions stood on the cave wall. Giggling, I wanted to see Fang Xuanling say to forgiveness, but Fang Xuanling's prime minister's frame was not ordinarily big, although he was a little trembling in the basket, he didn't say a word of begging for mercy.

After watching it for a while, the little minions who were quite bored dispersed, but there was nothing

Fang Xuanling saw that the little minions were gone, so he looked at the cave, logically speaking. Such a cave should have no light, but it is strange. There is a little light on the wall of the cave, although the light is weak, but to see the whole cave clearly, there is no problem at all, it is estimated that it is some kind of light ore, can not be verified.

There were also several large baskets next to him, the closest to him. Of course, it is Wang Wendu. Wang Wendu tilted his head and was dizzy.

A few baskets farther away, there were people in each basket. Unkempt, unable to see their original faces, only one of them was quite neat, although it was also very dirty, but they sat upright in the basket, as if they were meditating.

Fang Xuanling whispered, "General Wang, General Wang." Wake up, wake up! ”

Don't look at Wang Wendu in front of Qu Zhimao. The spirit head scolded with a lot of words, but when he was hung on top of the bottomless pit, the spirit head immediately flew out of the clouds, and it is more likely that the spirit head fell into the bottomless pit, anyway, he couldn't find it at all, he was so frightened that he fainted!

Fang Xuanling shouted several times, and saw that Wang Wendu didn't react at all, so he had to look at the others. The others, except for the meditator, were silent, staring at him with blank eyes.

In this situation, Fang Xuanling really didn't know what to say, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only sit in the basket honestly.

After a long while, the person who was meditating opened his eyes and looked at Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu, and suddenly, this person asked, "Donor, you are Fang Xuanling." Housing donors? "It's in the Central Plains.

Fang Xuanling also snorted, he didn't expect to meet someone who knew him here. He squinted his eyes and looked at this person, and saw that this person's head was not too long, only a few inches, much shorter than ordinary Central Plains people, less than fifty years old, and his appearance was good, but unfortunately his beard was too messy, as if he had never repaired it, in his impression. Doesn't seem to recognize this person.

"The old man is Fang Xuanling, dare to ask Your Excellency?" Fang Xuanling asked.

This person put his palms together, recited the Buddha's name, and after reciting Amitabha Buddha, he said: "The poor monk Xuanji has had several relationships with the donor in Chang'an, and he has been around for more than ten years, but the donor has not seen much of the old."

Fang Xuanling was taken aback and said, "Xuanling? You are the monk who pretended to be a messenger of the Tang Dynasty and went to the moat to get the Buddhist scriptures? ”

Of course, he knows something about Xuanfan, but for the prime minister of a country, he doesn't care much about Tang Xuanfan's personal problems, considering that things are all from national affairs, and for a monk who sneaks out of the customs, it would be strange if he was interested, but he didn't expect to meet this monk here!

Fang Xuanling said: "Just now that Qu Zhimao said that he arrested a monk, and when it was an old man, he suspected that it was you, but because he was unable to protect himself, he was powerless to pursue it." I don't want you to be locked up here. ”

Looking at Tang Xuan, who was walking with his palms together, he said again: "Why aren't you tied?" ”

Tang Xuan said: "Because the poor monk did not embarrass the poor monk, the Qu donor did not embarrass the poor monk." The tone was calm, as if he were talking about someone else's business.

Fang Xuanling said: "You have been hung here by him." How can you embarrass him? ”

Tang Xuanban recited Amitabha Buddha again, and said: "He asked the poor monk to admit that he was the king of Gaochang, and the poor monk admitted that he was the king of Gaochang, and what he asked for was just an ethereal and illusory thing in the world, and the poor monk gave it to him." What's so hard about it? ”

Fang Xuanling's face sank, and said: "How can this be true, Gaochang has already destroyed the country, how can King Gaochang say it, not to mention that he is just a robber, how can he deserve to call himself King Gaochang!" ”

Angry, the prime minister came out and reprimanded Tang Xuanji.

Tang Xuanzhi said: "What is the difference between King Gaochang and ants, and what is the difference between robbers and ants?" It's just all things in the world, all things in the world. Equals. Why not wait? ”

In the Tang Dynasty, or in the whole of ancient times, Tang Xuan was a great debater. He is not a person who can argue with a person, but he alone can argue with a person. And this piece of people can't be counted with hundreds, but with thousands, and it has to be thousands!

When Tang Xuan was in the moat, he debated the boiling method with the Buddhist disciples, and he was able to suppress all the Buddhist disciples in the moat. No one dared to argue with him, so it was so powerful.

Tang Seng in "Journey to the West" is a person who doesn't like to talk very much, in fact, he is very wrong, it is just an artistic description. The real Tang Xuanfan is quite able to speak, and he is the first to speak, and his eloquence is incomparable.

Monks, if you want to loosen up the Dharma and persuade others to follow the Buddha, how can you do it if you don't know how to do it? Not only to be able to speak, but also to be very, very able to speak. It's not okay to say that others are not convinced!

Uh, Fang Xuanling thought to himself: "The monks are all very capable of talking, I still don't want to argue with him about anything He asked: "Then why don't you run away?"

Tang Xuanban said again: "Why do you want to escape? What is the difference between a poor monk and an ant? Poor monks sit in monasteries and practice on this bottomless pit. What's the difference? ”

Fang Xuanling said angrily: "There is a bottomless pit below, and if you fall down, you will die!" ”

"It's just another reincarnation." Tang Xuan forbidden.

Fang Xuanling thought to herself: "No wonder you're not afraid, your thoughts are different from ours." Shaking his head, he didn't speak anymore, he really didn't have anything to say to Tang Xuan, he couldn't ask anything but was asked a lot, so what else to say!

But Tang Xuanzhi didn't let him go, and actually said: "Fang donor, the poor monk sees that you have anger on your face, and you must have something unfair in your heart, can you tell the poor monk about it?" The poor monk may be able to answer your questions. ”

Fang Xuanling lived for such a long time. I had never seen someone who liked to talk so much, and he said angrily: "How can you be flat when you are caught by robbers and hung on the bottomless pit?" Where does Ping come from? ”

"What's the difference between this bottomless pit and the mansion? Tang Xuanwan stretched out his arms, drew a big circle, and said: "Even if the donor has a magnificent mansion, the land you occupy is just that your arms are stretched out so big, Fang Xuanling laughed twice, and said: "This basket is much smaller than the arms spread." ”

"No, no.

What the owner of the house said is bad, and listen to the poor monk tell you an allusion! Tang Xuanwan obviously held back for too long, no one listened to him, and finally a house benefactor came, how could he let it go, so he had to give Fang Xuanling a lecture on the scriptures.

Fang Xuanling sighed, no wonder the little minions didn't stay in the cave, "I know the reason this time, in the face of this great monk, it is already a miracle that they didn't jump directly into the bottomless pit!"
