Chapter 41: Rising Momentum

In the quiet night, on the long street, the ghost emperor gradually drifted away, and soon disappeared completely into the night.

Wuyu waited for a while, making sure that Fenglong was properly dissipated, then he exhaled a long breath, waved his hand to everyone, signaling that the crisis had passed, and the eunuch who came to lead the way hurriedly ran over, and asked in a trembling voice: "Mrs. Shi, that was ...... just now" Before the words could be asked, he suddenly woke up to the fact that no matter how curious this kind of thing was, he must not pursue the truth, he hurriedly closed his mouth and did not dare to ask again, his eyes turned twice, and soon saw that Mrs. Shi's face was full of exhaustion, and the monk's clothes on her body were completely soaked with sweat, and exclaimed: "You always hurry up and rest." ”

Wuyu put on a tired look, sat directly on the ground in a disorganized manner, and looked up at the 'distant junior brother': "How is Senior Brother Gushi?" ”

Lone Stone was treated by Song Yang, and he woke up leisurely at this moment, but his qi and blood had not yet been straightened out, and his chest was very suffocated, and he couldn't speak. Song Yang seemed to look the same, and replied on his behalf: "It's okay for the teacher, you can recover after a while." ”

This scene is very hard for the old nun Lone Stone, and Song Yang tried his best to help her brag: "The evil demon is fierce and the evil spirit is invading, but fortunately, the Lone Stone Master is too profound." If you don't practice enough, you will have to turn into a pool of dry flesh and bones on the spot. As he spoke, he shook his head: "I can't imagine that in Phoenix City, in addition to your old age, there are also refined masters like Master Lone Stone, which is really amazing." ”

Wuyu accosted him to give favors, and Zhengse said: "That unjust soul hurt my senior brother, and I was also counterattacked, so I restrained a lot and didn't continue to do evil." ”

Gu Shi listened to the beauty in his heart, and felt that his chest was not so stuffy at that time, and Song Yang fell into his eyes again, which seemed to be a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Wuyu Gu couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, and the mouth commanded constantly, asking the guards to immediately send the fainting catchers to the Great Recommendation Temple to help, Buddhism also has the means to exorcise demons and straighten up, these catches in the 'evil arts' have been solved, only a recuperation kung fu is missing, what to do is almost a monk knows.

As for Master Lone, she couldn't continue to accompany her like this now, so she was simply escorted by her disciples and returned to the nunnery to recuperate first.

After arranging these things, Wuyu no longer delayed, boarded the chariot with the support of Song Yang, and set off again and went straight to the palace. Sitting in the car, Wuyu wiped his sweat and asked Song Yang, "Are you okay?" ”

Song Yang nodded: "It's very good, you are always an acting school... It's not just you, Hong Leong, Lonely Rock... You're all acting. ”

There is no such word in Middle Earth, but it is not difficult to understand it literally, Wuyu shook his head with a smile: "Everyone else is easy to say, it is the bitter Senior Brother Gushi, who was kept in the dark from beginning to end, first deceived and drugged, then drugged and cheated, and finally vomited blood and injured his body......"

Song Yang didn't bear it, but there was no way, this scene was a little too thin for the two people to play opponents.

Everyone in Phoenix knows that Master Gushi's surname is cold and hard, and his temper is stinky and horizontal, and he doesn't have a good color for anyone, but there is also a consensus: this person abides by the Zen precepts and is strict and self-controlled...... The monks don't speak, and the fishless master doesn't lie and deceive people.

Nuns, guards, and catching ghosts in the middle of the night, and no fish and ghosts persuade the dead emperor to retire, this kind of thing is too mysterious, and it is not difficult to spread it all over the world, but it is not difficult to really believe it, so you have to pull the lonely stone master in.

The truth Wuyu fully understands, she does things informally, but Gushi's situation is still slightly different, Gushi is not willing to help, but was coaxed and deceived by them and was pulled onto the thief ship without knowing it, to put it bluntly, it was used by Wuyu and Song Yang, Wuyu Shitai felt a little sorry for this senior brother.

Song Yang persuaded: "Whether you are deceived or voluntary, what Gushi does is a good thing after all; Gushi helped us in this matter, and we also gave her a real good Buddha name; And then there is the drug, although it provoked her to vomit blood, it looks quite scary, but it is beneficial and harmless to her, it is a good medicine, but the strength is a little overbearing, it will make people uncomfortable for a while, and then the benefits are endless, the teacher is too relieved. ”

Wuyu is not hypocritical, and diverted the topic: "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I really didn't know that your ability to use poison and medicine was so exquisite." ”

Song Yangha laughed: "I have been learning from a famous teacher since I was a child, it's nothing, it's rare to be a teacher, the first shot was a success, the talent is good, I entered the Buddhist gate and didn't enter the poison gate, it's a pity." ”

Wuyu had already gotten the medicine given by Song Yang, and gave the first medicine to the tea made by Lone Stone before going out, so that she began to feel cold and upset soon after walking on the street, and then she had the 'discomfort' before seeing the ghost...... The old nun of Lone Stone doesn't know martial arts, doesn't know the ways of the rivers and lakes, and is unguarded, so it's easy to poison her. Song Yang has no difficulty in taking medicine this time, and the only thing he cares about is to calculate the time accurately.

Wuyu also smiled, ignored Song Yang's jokes, and said to himself: "I have a good mind, I am good at martial arts, I am good at poison pharmacology, and there is a great grandmaster by my side to help, no wonder I dare to go against Emperor Yan and Master Yan...... Very good. ”

"My experience is a bit special, I took advantage of it when I was born, but I was able to learn these skills and find these friends today, most of them are thanks to a parent," Song Yang restrained his smile: "So I swear to be inseparable from those two people in Yan Kingdom." ”

Wuyu was noncommittal, but smiled lightly: "It's a good thing to have the ability, but the anger in the bones is too heavy, if you have the heart, I'll find a few books for you to read." ”

"Scriptures?" Song Yang smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, I have no intention of going to the Buddha, so don't make trouble for his old man, but... When the matter is understood, after arriving at Yanziping, I would like to ask Shitai to do two transcendent rituals, one is my dearest relative, and I have never done anything since he entered the earth. ”

Wuyu immediately agreed, and then asked, "To whom is the other ritual for?" ”

"Like." Song Yang was silent for a while and then opened his mouth to answer.

At this time, Su Hang had already coaxed Xiao Song Yang to fall asleep together, and if he was awake, he didn't know if he would sneeze loudly.

…… Let's talk about it, the group arrived at the palace, King Jing hurried to the door soon after entering the door, he got a report, just knew what happened on the way, the old man's face was panicked, waved his hand to retreat from the idle people, etc., leaving only his own henchmen to guard, then he lowered his voice and asked: "When the master came to the road, I met... Fenglong? ”

Of course, King Jing knew that Feng Long was not dead, and at this moment, when he learned that Long Street was haunted and long live appeared, how could he not be shocked in his heart, as long as Wuyu nodded, he would immediately dispatch his henchmen to arrest the emperor, even if it was Lord Du's territory and conflict with the Criminal Department. Although King Jing didn't think that Zhen Fenglong could set off any more storms, but 'be prepared', if you have the opportunity, you must take off the dragon's head.

Daring to let Feng Long come out and pretend to be a ghost, he naturally thought of his rhetoric in advance, and Wuyu smiled easily: "Don't worry, it's not true." ”

Song Yang didn't care about the rules, and said with a smile from the side: "If it's really good, I'll just pinch it to death." ”

King Jing looked suspicious, looked at Song Yang, and then turned to look at Wuyu, who smiled and explained: "Fake emperor, fake unjust soul, it has been arranged a long time ago, and what you do is just two words: momentum." For the blessing of the Dharma to rise, for King Jing to stand up. ”

"The evil demon appeared in the capital, and even the officials with the knife were photographed by the ghostcraft, and the people of Phoenix City were terrified, and naturally looked forward to a blessing ceremony; The ghost emperor wandered late at night, and his unwillingness was caused by the vacancy of the dragon chair and the absence of an owner of the country, and everyone hoped that there would be a virtuous king, a king blessed by my Buddha to ascend the throne and deter demons. Wuyu was not in a hurry, and explained the reasons that had been made up a long time ago, and then apologized: "The poor nun made his own opinion, and the prince was tired and worried, and begged for forgiveness." ”

The usurpation of the throne has been pulled in as a gimmick from the very beginning, and Wuyu has made a ghost for the later rituals to build momentum, which is a very suitable reason. When King Jing heard that it was not really Fenglong, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, shook his head and smiled: "The teacher is too serious, you are for the country and the people, what is the crime?" Instead of sinning, there is merit. Great feat! King Jing's doubts were gone, and he immediately started to take Shitai to the side hall for a secret talk.

It's not that King Jing doesn't have scheming, but the day before the incident, King Zeng Jing said that Wuyu can definitely be trusted, and he conspired in things such as 'inspecting the emperor's corpse', everyone is in the same boat, King Jing can't think of a reason why Wuyu will betray him, and now he has already regarded her as a real comrade... King Jing is defenseless against no fish, in the final analysis, he is unlucky because he doesn't know that there is a true and a false two no fish, and he can't break the 'drop bag', so he can't imagine that he can climb out of this pit again.

The content of the secret conversation is to pray for blessings.

All the preparations on King Jing's side have been done, and only after the Dharma Master declares that 'King Jing should be established' can he carry out the 'aftermath'.

King Jing doesn't care about the steps and processes of these Dharma things, he cares about 'time', and the request is only two words: as soon as possible. After some secret spying, it was not until the sky was bright that Shitai and Song Yang had eaten in the palace, and then they said goodbye and left.

At this time, what happened last night near the yamen of the criminal department had already spread...... Rumors have it flowed into the market from Daijifukuji Temple.

Nine Pagoda Qingning Temple and Da Jianfu Temple are the two most prosperous temples in Phoenix, although they are both well-known temples in Phoenix, the difference between the two is not small, the former is 'Dingguo Zen Temple', which has been worshiped by the royal family, has transcendent status, and is subject to special care by the imperial court; And the Great Recommendation Temple is the 'close to the people' route, the monks not only recite the scriptures in the temple, often walk the streets and alleys, preach to the common people, if you need help with any work, the monk will come forward without saying a word, busy sweating profusely, and the main family together to drink the cold water from the well, talk and laugh casually pull some homely things, the temple has been built for 200 years from generation to generation of monks are like this, and gradually won a good name, which is the current situation.

Nowadays, the scene of the temple is very good and the status is not low, but the monks still abide by the teachings of their predecessors, easy-going and close, and those who have something to do in the neighborhood are uninvited, and they not only talk about Buddhism, but also those innocuous anecdotes are also their topics.

Last night, when the group of arresters was about to be sent, there were nuns of the Lotus Sect Temple, accompanied by nuns, and told the truth what had happened, and when it was dawn, the prisoners woke up one after another, but without exception, they all had vague memories, and they only remembered the experience at night: when patrolling to the gate of Suzhengtai, they suddenly arrived for a chill to the bone, and then they didn't remember anything about what happened after that.

If the torturers wake up and immediately talk about the evil experience, it is not right, they have no memory, they don't know anything, and they are more confused than others.

As expected, as soon as the Dajianfu Temple opened today, many sayings such as "Fenglong's ghost is not gone", "Ghost Emperor Three Divisions Parade", "Two Divisions and Four Seals" and many other sayings came out, but it is a pity that Tan Tuzi is not in the capital, otherwise there will be a good book coming out.

The emperor's ghost has returned, what a 'exciting' news, much more sensational than the laughing and bitter statue of the Marquis of Changchun, and it will not be long before everyone hears about it.

…… Wuyu Shitai left the palace, did not return directly to the Lianzong Nunnery, but took the Great Recommendation Temple to visit the evil hunters, on the surface it seems to be compassion for the injured, but in fact, the torture and arrest are all tricks, all the visions on their bodies, either Song Yang's good medicine, or their acting skills, how can they care, she has this trip, simply to confirm that the rumors are true.

However, what happened this time was that the old nun fought with evil spirits in the street, which was too bizarre, and there were many people who preached it but few people who believed it. There are still people with good deeds, so they have the courage to be cheeky and go to the Lianzong Nunnery to ask another party, Gushi Shitai to verify the matter.

Unexpectedly, the lonely stone master, who has always been withdrawn, was unusually in the face of the inquiry of the good deed this time, and did not shake his sleeves and reprimand coldly, but nodded lightly and confirmed the matter...... Although she couldn't beat that ghost, at least her old man was still qualified to 'do it', which was a testament to her lifelong practice and hard work, and this glorious lonely stone was really reluctant to ask for it.

When he nodded, Lonely Stone's face was still cold, but his heart was happy...... Endure it, don't laugh.

The monks of the Great Recommendation Blessing Temple said in person, there is a lot of trouble; Although the fishless master did not say it explicitly, after leaving the palace, he hurriedly went to visit the evil hunter; And the most weighty thing is Gushi, who hates rumors the most, not only does he never listen to them, but also does not allow his disciples and believers to pass on 'interesting stories', but he also nodded and admitted the matter, so that the market is really a sensation.

In the past, no matter what rumors circulated in the streets and alleys, everyone only treated it as a side dish of tea, at best, it was just a fun and curiosity, but this time, the imperial city was really haunted, and the 'possession' tragedy during the parade was different, now the emperor's ghost is still there, and it is said that the ghost is very fierce, and the two masters have failed to surrender, it is no wonder that when people are alive, they are long live, and it will be more terrible to become mourning after death.

Things are happening around me, who dares to say that the ghost emperor will not come to my yard if he comes out to wander again? People in the capital are panicked, and the major temples are overcrowded for a while, no matter whether they are good or evil, whether they are respectful or hiding from monks before, and whether it will work to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, they must always ask a Buddha statue to come back to be at ease.

Visited the fishing fast, the fishless master stayed in the Dajianfu Temple, found the abbot to talk for a while, and soon the abbot passed out two decrees, one is to send a large number of monks, to invite the presiding of the large and small temples in Beijing to come here to discuss the matter of praying for blessings; The other is to instruct the monks under his door, and when he talks to the people about the ghost incident last night, remember to emphasize one point: Master Wuyu guarantees in the name of the Buddha that the ghost emperor will not disturb the mortal world, let alone harm the common people.

Needless to say, the first thing is self-explanatory. At first glance, the second thing seems to be a measure to appease the people, and the monks do not care about political affairs, but the rumors cause panic, and it is also a matter of responsibility for Master Wuyu to speak out as a guarantee and dispel the fear in everyone's hearts.

However, after the words spread, questions arose, what does the ghost emperor want to do, and the fishless master can control it? If you can really manage it, you can simply accept the other party directly last night, and how can you use 'mediation'.

There was no shortage of clever people among the people, and they quickly guessed the answer. There are two other possibilities, one is that Wuyu and the Ghost Emperor reached an agreement last night, and the resentful soul should inherit the master too much to hurt the people; The other speculation is more scheming, things have to be seen from the beginning, Feng Long's soul wanders in the capital, where should he go the most? Naturally, it is the palace, and it should be the place where he lost his life, but he didn't go to these two places, but went to the Sansi Yamen, and the night patrol was arrested at the gate of the Suzheng Terrace...... This is even more interesting, what kind of place is Suzhengtai? The yamen, which is in charge of supervising the official office and punishing officials, from a small official who is not good to a good grade to a first-class official to a relative of the emperor, all the cases committed must be sent to the Suzheng Platform for trial, where does the ghost emperor go and what to do?

However, this second speculation, with a vague danger of breaking the taboo, is only circulated in private, and no one is talking about it unscrupulously on the street.

…… In the afternoon, after receiving the invitation of Wuyu, the host of the temples in Beijing, basically as long as they can move, all the monks gathered in the Great Recommendation Temple, and it took more than half an hour to greet each other, that is, the fishless and good surname can bear it, and I am afraid that I will be impatient for a long time when I change it to a lonely stone. After everyone sat down, Wuyu opened his mouth to explain the purpose, and wanted to do a major event with the power of the temples in Beijing to pray for Nanli.

This is a big event, a good thing, a grand event, Wuyu and clearly said in advance, this matter is led by the royal family, supported by the imperial court, of course, all the monks present happily agreed, but in Wuyu next announced that the Dharma will be held within four days, everyone can't help but be taken aback, almost all the monks in the capital have only four days to prepare, it is too hasty. But there is no way, no one can wait now, no fish does not listen to persuasion, unwavering, it has to be five days later, and others can only grit their teeth and agree.

Next, Wuyu listed the process and details of the rituals, and there were no monks in the temple in Beijing who did not know how to do things, and everyone was familiar with the road, nothing more than singing incense praises, bells, and believers asking for the Dharma; Follow the lecture and the Buddha fasting; Next is the main event, chanting and praying for blessings.

Wuyu made three parts of the prayer part, first praying for the luck of the people of the country, then asking for blessings and wisdom for the Dharma protector Tanna, and then singing blessings for the royal family.

According to normal reasoning, after completing this item, the whole Dharma is about to enter the end, but Master Wuyu shook his head: "It is not finished yet, there is another item, which will be co-presided over by the poor nun and Senior Brother Gushi, and at that time, I will ask all senior brothers and mages to help ......" It was not until she mentioned the name of Gushi that the monks present suddenly realized that the old nun Gushi was not present.

Lone Stone hurried out after noon...... She was going to contact another group of Buddhists.
