Chapter 1268: Making Money in the Oil Pot
Yang Guang's face sank suddenly, and he said sharply: "Presumptuous! How dare you say such a remark! ”
Anjiatuo's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "Your Majesty, this is the words that the Buddha asked the poor monk to take in his dream, whether you believe it or not, the words have been said, how to deal with the poor monk, let you decide." He said, closing his eyes and not speaking again.
Yang Guang gritted his teeth tightly, his body trembled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Who taught you to say this!" It's not really recruited! ”
Angatus said slowly: "The monks don't speak, the poor monk really met the Buddha in a dream, let the poor monk relay this to the sage, as for other things, I don't know anything!" ”
Yang Guang closed his eyes and took three deep breaths before he said slowly: "There are more than 10 million people in the world surnamed Li, isn't the Buddha purifying all sentient beings and being compassionate?" Why would he want me to do such a thing? ”
An Jiatuo's expression was calm, and he turned the Buddha bead in his hand unhurriedly, and said: "In the eyes of the Buddha, all living beings are equal, and what he is compassionate to is the thousands of living beings in the whole world, and only the branch of the Li family. If the war is chaotic together, the world is in chaos, then there are thousands of dead people, my Buddha is willing to cut meat and feed eagles, naturally I can also sacrifice the ego to protect all sentient beings, Your Majesty is a saint, with Kyushu in mind, this truth should not be difficult to understand. ”
Yang Guang nodded, and gave people a sage call, naturally he couldn't be too small, he said in a deep voice: "Angata, I can't be sure if you really have the power to confuse the people, or if you do have the power to show me your miracles, then I will believe what you say." How is it? ”
Angatus smiled slightly: "Why not? Master Fotucheng of that year, when he faced Shile for the first time. It is also possible to open a small hole in the ribs. Pull out your heart to show the crowd. This is known as the living Buddha, although the mana and piety of the poor monk are not as good as Master Buddha Tucheng, but to prove his true heart to His Majesty, there is nothing to do. Your Majesty, please give the order to set up a cauldron, boil the boiling oil in it, and then drop a few copper coins. The poor monk goes into the oil pot with his bare hands to make money, as long as he can fish it out unscathed, then please ask Your Majesty not to doubt the words of the poor monk anymore, how about it? ”
Yang Guang's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "This, this is okay?" Fishing for money in the oil pot with bare hands? ”
Angatus nodded: "Sincerity is spirituality, the Buddha will bless the poor monks." ”
Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Shen Guard, you come to arrange this matter." ”
Shen Guang saluted loudly and said yes, at the moment of going down. His eyes met with Angatus's, and the two exchanged glances tacitly. Pretend that nothing happened.
Half an hour later, on the square in front of the Liangyi Palace, a large pot was erected, a sufficient amount of firewood was piled up below, and bricks were piled up around to prevent the cold wind from blowing out the flames, more than a dozen guards were constantly pouring oil and water into the pot, and a faint sour smell permeated the square, and Yang Guang, who was standing on the steps, was as heavy as water, looking at the oil in the oil pot, which had been boiling and boiling, and was blowing the north wind, bringing the hot fire oil to the smell of fireworks when the firewood was burning, and a faint sour smell, which made people's eyes sour.
Yang Guang frowned and muttered, "How can this oil pot have a sour smell?" It is like adding Ai (vinegar was called Ai at this time in the Sui Dynasty). ”
Shen Guang hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this pot was originally used for cooking, in order to remove the fishy smell of meat, more mugwort was added, so it smelled sour." ”
Yang Guang nodded and sniffled in disgust: "I don't like this taste very much, let that Anjiatuo try it early." ”
Shen Guang nodded, waved his hand at the sergeants who were still pouring oil and water into the pot, they all stopped moving, stood aside, Yang Guang waved his hand, Shen Guang personally went down the steps, walked to the oil pot, took out a few copper coins from his arms, threw them into the oil pot, and suddenly splashed a few oil flowers, and the hot, bubbling oil surface shook slightly, and a few copper coins disappeared.
Angatus took off his robe, revealing a bony upper body, the ribs were visible at the root, and there were hardly any muscles visible, and his two arms, like bones covered with skin, were extremely frightening, and he said something in his mouth, walked to the side of the oil pot, raised his right hand high, and reached into the oil pot under the gaze of everyone.
A "hiss" came, Xiao Guifei, who was standing beside Yang Guang, screamed, turned her face and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and the other palace maids who were watching also showed unbearable expressions, but in the steaming heat, she saw An Jiatuo's expression serene, although the sweat on her head was like rain, almost converging into several rivers on her head, but his exposed arms were still moving slowly, as if they were not in an oil pot, but in a river to catch fish and shrimp.
Yang Guang's eyes widened, and he put down the sleeves of his shirt that had been hidden in front of his nose, he never dreamed that An Jia Tuo really had the ability, just like washing his hands to make money in the oil pot, originally he thought that An Jia Tuo might be enduring the pain, fast in and out, even if he took off the skin, he had to take out the money, but he didn't expect this An Jia Tuo to be so calm, this is not a miracle, what is it?
After fishing in the pot for a while, Anjiatuo suddenly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, the poor monk has already touched all four copper coins!" ”
Yang Guang gritted his teeth: "Take it and let me take a look!" ”
Angatus laughed and said loudly: "Amitabha! With this Buddha name, his skinny hand was slowly pulled out of the oil pot, and his arms were covered with large and small oil beads, some of which were still steaming.
There was already a guard who carried a wooden tray, Anjiatuo let go, only to hear a sound of copper coins colliding, four copper coins fell into the wooden plate, the guard quickly ran up the steps, Yang Guang fixed his eyes, four copper coins with oil flowers, lined up, one of them, deliberately missing a small piece, the other erased the five baht of the five characters, this is Yang Guang specially arranged two coins, afraid of what kind of trick Anjiatuo used, holding four copper coins in his hand and pretending to put it into the oil pot.
Yang Guang still had one last doubt left in his heart, he groaned for a while, and said to Shen Guang: "Will there be anything wrong with this pot of oil?" Is it really that hot? Shen Guard, you can find another prisoner to try. ”
Shen Guang nodded, turned around and left, and after a while, an unkempt prisoner wearing a death row uniform was carried to the oil pot by several guards, screaming, while being forcibly grabbed by Shen Guang's hand and stretched into the boiling oil pot. (To be continued.) )
