Chapter 39: The Devil
At the end of today's Zen temple ceremony, King Jing sent someone to invite Wuyu, and Wuyu found a reason to shirk it at that time, and made an appointment to enter the palace to meet at this time.
Gushi looked vigilant and asked Wuyu: "Will it be dangerous to enter the palace?" ”
Wuyu smiled and shook his head: "The palace is safe, and King Jing doesn't dare to do anything in front of everyone, otherwise why would he wait for me to return to the Zen Academy." It doesn't hurt. After speaking, seeing that Gushi suddenly relaxed, Wuyu secretly sighed in his heart, 'Senior brother is stupid', and added without a trace: "Even if King Jing wants to deal with me again, he will not be in the palace......"
Lone Stone finally thought of something: "It's not safe on the way to the palace, I'll send you there." After speaking, he immediately issued an order, gathered all the disciples in the nunnery, and rushed to the palace with Wuyu.
There is a strict deployment of the forbidden army around the Lianzong Nunnery, and there are also a large group of guards accompanying the eunuchs, how could King Jing know that Wuyu has changed from a living bodhisattva who helps him control Nanli to a true king of Yama who wants to take his life, and he still tries his best to protect Shitai, and he does not dare to be careless.
The father-in-law and the guards were a little surprised at first when they saw that all the nuns and nuns were accompanying them, but after thinking about it, they were relieved, the status of Master Wuyu was there, and it was normal for Buddhist disciples to send Gao Ying from afar.
As soon as the group went out, from the neighboring houses of Lianzong Nunnery, Song Yang flashed out, and the guards reacted very quickly, if it wasn't for the fish to stop drinking in time, a powerful crossbow would have been shot out.
When Song Yang came to the firelight, some forbidden soldiers and guards recognized him as Wuyu's 'distant junior brother', and naturally allowed him to walk with Wuyu.
During the Zen Monastery, Gushi was also present, but Song Yang was not there at that time, because the old nun didn't know Song Yang, Wuyu introduced him, explained Song Yang's identity clearly, and signaled that Gushi was his own person.
Song Yang stepped forward to salute, Xiao Yu gave him a 'shameless' face, Gushi looked at him unpleasantly, did not return the courtesy, and said in a cold tone: "Just wait outside, if you have something to find Senior Brother Wuyu, remember to be informed by the acquaintance, and the Lianzong Nunnery will not allow men to step in." Song Yang didn't care, smiled and agreed, and when he stood up straight, he exchanged a look with Wuyu, who nodded slightly.
The team of guards who came to pick up Shi Taifa drove brought a chariot over, perhaps because the night was cool and there was no fish and did not want to board, so they insisted on walking, and the team set off.
Wuyu was in the center of the guard, his steps were not hurried, and Lone Stone followed closely with a cold expression, walking silently...... From the Lianzong Nunnery to the Imperial Palace, the three divisions of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Suzheng Terrace are the places that must be passed, and the three divisions are built next to each other and are located on the same street. And the few streets in this vicinity, whether it is martial law during the day or curfew at night, are not in charge of the Beijing Central Forbidden Army, but are in charge of the criminal department.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything related to the defense of the Beijing Division was controlled by King Jing, and Lord Du did not say a little bit, but the surrounding area of the criminal department was his bottom line, which could not be touched.
When the situation was not stable, King Jing did not care about a few streets with him, and he would wait for everything to talk about after he ascended the throne.
After entering the sphere of influence of the Criminal Department, the accompanying guards were obviously nervous, this is 'someone else's territory', and although there is no real evidence, many of the guards suspect that the fire in the Don't Come to the Zen Temple is related to the Criminal Department, after all, when the forbidden army rushed to the rescue, they encountered the obstruction of the criminal arrest officials.
At this time, Wuyu suddenly let out a low 'huh', and Lone Stone immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" Wuyu's face was unusually strange: "Senior brother... Do you feel cold? ”
Lone Stone was dazed: "Cold? I didn't feel it. ”
Wuyu seemed to think of something, but he didn't dare to be sure, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, didn't say anything, and continued to move forward.
But not long after leaving, the old nun Gushi suddenly felt that a cold meaning appeared without warning, from the inside out, from her limbs and hundreds of bones to the outside, causing her to shrink the pores of her body, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Accompanied by coldness, as well as inexplicable panic and irritability, the old nun Gushi was surprised, this is a sign of sudden illness, but she has practiced all her life, although she has lived a hard life, but her work and rest are strict and her diet is light, and her body has always been very healthy.
Gushi gritted his teeth, hoping to get better after holding on for a while, but it backfired, the more he went forward, the more the cold in his body and the more boredom in his chest, his ears began to roar, his brain was chaotic, and he only felt a burst of dizziness, the old nun couldn't hold it anymore, reached out and grabbed Wuyu, wanting her to stop for a while, but Wuyu's wrist was cold and abnormal...... Wuyu's face is also very unsightly, his forehead is densely covered with cold sweat, and his eyes are no longer clear, becoming turbid and scattered.
Wuyu's voice was very low, as if he was facing a great enemy: "Senior brother also noticed it?" ”
Lone Stone didn't understand what she meant, what did he perceive? She just felt cold, cold to death...... The two old nuns stopped at the same time and showed an abnormality, and the guards and nuns escorting along the way all became nervous, and the team stopped, and put on a defensive position under the order of the commander, and the leading eunuch rushed over with an anxious face and asked: "What's wrong with the two masters?" ”
Song Yang also came up, there was both concern and vigilance in his eyes, he ignored Gushi and only looked at Wuyu, reached out and grabbed Shitai's wrist and wanted to give her a palm pulse, but as soon as his hands touched, he blurted out in shock: "It's so cold!" Then he frowned and asked, "Could it be poisoning?" ”
Even though his body was in pain, Lone Stone couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this... Wuyu has just been staying in the nunnery, if she is poisoned, is it my poison? What's more, even if I were to poison myself, would I poison myself too?
And Wuyu also shook her head, flipped her wrist and removed Song Yang's hand, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, it's not poison or disease, but..." ”
The guards were inexplicable, their guards were too duty-bound, but they listened to Wuyu's meaning, as if they wanted to protect them.
Song Yang also looked confused, and asked, "What the hell..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wuyu shook his head and interrupted, his voice was rarely stern: "They don't understand, how can you still not understand?!" ”
After Song Yang was stunned for a moment, two expressions of trance and horror surged into his face at the same time: "Isn't it... It's the one..."
Wuyu was impatient, obviously didn't have the heart to explain, just urged sharply: "Quickly back back, behind me." ”
The leader of the guards wanted to say something more, but Song Yang leaned forward and said in a firm tone: "Listen to the master's orders!" Then he lowered his voice and said, "We can't deal with it, we have to take action from Mrs. Shi personally." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled up the stunned leader of the guards and stood behind Shi Tai.
As soon as the chief officer moved, the other guards also retreated with him, and Wuyu's voice was solemn: "No matter what you see, you can't make a sound, let alone draw your sword and use force, otherwise no one will survive, including me." ”
After a pause, she turned her eyes to look at the leader of the guards: "General Lao, if anyone is restless later, be sure to kill him immediately, lest he kill others, you need to remember, there is no blood." ”
The emperor was possessed by evil ghosts and died tragically, the people in Phoenix City were already panicked, the theory of gods and ghosts was spread, and the only fishless master who had the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons was too troublesome at this moment, how dare the head of the guard be lazy, and immediately nodded in agreement; And Wuyu didn't seem to trust him enough, and nodded at Song Yang, the meaning couldn't be more obvious: If the leader of the guards doesn't start, you will do it.
After the order, Wuyu was at the head of the team, slowly sat down on the ground, and glanced back at Gushi: "Senior brother help me." As he spoke, sit with his legs crossed, spread his left hand upward, lay it horizontally on his left foot, and put his right hand on the middle finger of his right knee to touch the ground, and sit firmly.
Lone Stone didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know how to help, but he looked at the sitting posture of Wuyu...... The left hand is sealed to show the meaning of meditation; The right hand touches the earth, which is the Buddha's enlightenment, with the earth as evidence, can subdue all the demons, and is also known as the demon seal. Wuyu bears such a handprint, what she wants to deal with is naturally self-evident.
At this point, Lone Stone suddenly realized, why is he upset and cold? It's not that I'm sick or poisoned, but that I have practiced deeply, the Buddha is rooted in my heart, and I have a reaction when evil things are close to nature...... There was such a saying, but the old nun had never encountered such a situation before, and of course there was no way to tell whether it was the case or not.
However, it is obvious that Master Wuyu has the same reaction as himself, and it should not be wrong, while admiring the profound and knowledgeable Dharma of Wuyu, Gushi is also a little proud... Sensing evil things, not to mention ordinary people, even great virtuous monks may not be able to do this kind of thing, this is a proof of profound practice and the Buddha's roots.
Lone Stone doesn't talk nonsense, endures the discomfort of the body, also sits on the ground, and learns to make the same body prints and handprints as no fish, Lone Stone doesn't know that he is 'spiritual', but he can sense evil things in advance, and the Buddha seal will definitely have some power.
Unexpectedly, Wuyu shook his head lightly and said to her: "Senior brother, please 'Shi Wuxing' and 'Shi Wish' two seals." ”
Gushi wondered, the two seals that Wuyu let her knot are the Giving Seal and the Compassion Seal, which are the blessings and help of the Buddha to believers, how can they be used when dealing with evil things.
Wuyu understood her doubts and explained softly: "Although it is an evil spirit, it may not be impossible, and it is compassionate. Gushi frowned, disapproving of Wuyu's 'compassion for evil things', but he still obeyed the order and changed his appearance...... In the middle of the night, the silent long street, the surroundings were quiet, the two masters sat with seals, the disciples and guards lined up behind them, everyone was unspeakably nervous in their hearts, and for a while they really felt that the yin wind was blowing from nowhere, invading the body along the mouth of the leader, and shuddering.
Lianzong'an also came with dozens of female nuns, their 'shallow practice', they couldn't detect evil things from the two elders in advance, and of course they couldn't help much, they were at a loss, and Wu Yu said: "The curse of death must not be stopped." ”
At such times, it seems that it is a lucky thing to have a sutra to read, and the nuns immediately sit upright and fold themselves and read the scriptures in unison. With Sanskrit, the atmosphere on the long street was also 'thicker', and Wuyu once again gave a deep order: "Palm the fire candle." ”
The guards are well-equipped, and they all carry exquisite torches with them during the night errand, but the bright moon is empty, and it is enough for them to hit more than 20 torches with a team of 100 people on the way, and everyone is taken by the atmosphere at this moment, listening to the words of the master, the guards dare not slack off a little, and the action quickly lights up the torches, and in the blink of an eye, the fire is magnificent, and the surroundings are as bright as day.
Wuyu said to the old nun Gushi again: "Senior brother, please 'Vajra Prajnaparamita', it is still impossible to stop. The latter understood that he wanted to recite the scriptures himself, and without saying a word, he immediately began to recite and sing the scriptures.
Everyone was arranged, and the fishless master took a deep breath, his eyes like torches without blinking, staring at the end of the long street.
Soon, there was a sound of messy footsteps, and a team of criminal officers rushed out from the darkness ahead.
I thought it was haunted, but I didn't expect a gang to come and catch fast, the leader of the guards frowned slightly, he was duty, and he was about to shout to stop the other party, but the fishless master turned his head and whispered to him: "Silence, don't move!" ”
When the catchers got a little closer, everyone from the guards to the nuns could see that something was wrong with them...... No one had ever seen such an embarrassed official, running one by one with crooked hats and evil clothes, and kept looking back as he fled, as if he was being chased by something terrible. These officials opened their mouths wide as they ran, and they seemed to be shouting loudly, but they couldn't shout a word at all except for the sound of heavy breathing, and what was really terrifying was that the officials themselves were at a loss, still shouting while running, not knowing whether they were calling for help or trying to summon a message, and it was clear that they could hear their own 'shouts'.
After a while, everyone saw it more clearly, the faces of the catchers were pale, but their eyes were as red as blood, and they were completely evil.
Even though the guards were strictly trained and the nuns practiced hard, they felt creepy when they saw the scene in front of them.
Not only 'silent shouting', but also 'no one in sight'!
Anyone can see it...... Although the distance between the two sides was not far away, and the fire on the guard's side was dazzling, but in the eyes of the group of fast catchers, this long street was still dark and empty at all, they couldn't see anyone, and they didn't mean to stop, if they didn't stop it, they had to run into it directly.
The catchers ran closer and closer, but Wuyu remained indifferent, but her 'distant junior brother' couldn't hold her breath, stepped in front of the two masters, waved her big sleeves and put on a strange posture, unable to tell whether she wanted to fight or get rid of the demon.
He was already standing behind the two old nuns, and when he jumped up, he dangerously pulled his sleeves on Gushi's face, Gushi's face was hateful, but he smelled a touch of fragrance in his nose, so she was even more bored with Song Yang in her heart, a big man, and his clothes had to be dyed with spices...... Wuyu also opened his mouth to reprimand: "No, stand back, don't hurt my law!" ”
The 'distant junior brother' did not dare to disobey the order, and retreated to his original position.
Wuyu still didn't move, her eyes were fixed on the torture, until the two sides were only a few feet away, and the leading catcher would kick Wuyu if she took another step, she finally reacted and opened her mouth with a string of Sanskrit sounds and roared! The spell was sonorous and mighty, and the thunder rammed directly into the depths of everyone's ear drums, and no one could have imagined that the thin teacher Tai could shout so loudly that even the torches behind her were vibrated by the sound pressure, and at the same time dimmed, and then brightened again.
Everywhere the curse, the bodies of the evil hunters shook together, as if they were suddenly frozen by the long night, still maintaining a running posture, motionless and frozen in place, and the next moment, visible to the naked eye, from their eyes, ears, and mouths, thin blood lines flowed out, and blood dripped to the ground... However, the light sound of the dada was even more harsh than the roar of the previous master.
As the dirty blood flowed, the faces of the catchers quickly returned to normal, and the blood in their eyes quietly retreated, and the evil magic that was obviously attached to them was dispelled by Wuyu.
After a few breaths, the catchers recovered, and at first glance, they all looked surprised, and the leader wanted to say something, but his mouth moved, and before he could make a sound, his body suddenly weakened, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and he didn't know whether he was dead or fainted.
More than one, all catches are like this, evil, awakening, falling...... Wuyu said to the person behind him: "It's okay, it's just a coma." ”
After speaking, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, she warned in a deep voice: "Don't let go, the Lord is coming!" ”
Everyone thought that the matter was over, but they didn't think that it had not yet begun, and when they heard the words, their hearts suddenly struck, and they became nervous again, and the warning of Wuyu had just fallen, and a strange sound of 'Cang Lang Lang' came from the night ahead.
The sound was not difficult to discern, and the friction of the chain on the ground sounded.
Soon, a figure came out of the darkness, medium and tall, looking like a young man, looking at it from a distance, except for some loose hair, slightly pickled clothes, and long shackles on his feet, there was nothing special about it. Everyone was a little puzzled, but the fishless master was too close to the enemy... Not only Wuyu, but another old nun, Gushi, suddenly became extremely loud and loud in the mouth of the 'Vajra Prajnaparamita' mantra!
Lone Rock senses an anomaly.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the person on the other side, but after the 'main master' appeared, Lone Stone suddenly found that the coldness and irritability in his body quickly dissipated, not only that, but there were also bursts of warmth from the depths of his blood, comfortable and comfortable.
It should be so, it should be so...... When there is impurity, the great practitioner will notice that there is some discomfort in the body, and the closer the two sides are, the worse the discomfort will be. But the cold and uncomfortable should not last from beginning to end, if you really want to see filth, the practitioner will not be able to sit steadily, in that case, it is not as good as ordinary people, what is the use of practice?
Therefore, the discomfort is just a warning, and when the two sides 'meet', the warning ends, the uncomfortable feeling dissipates, and the karma accumulated in the practice naturally rises, which is the 'mana'.
Because of its own changes, it is concluded that the 'right master' is fierce.
However, in the eyes of those ordinary people, the arrival of the 'righteous master' is not as strange as the situation when the evil hunters in the previous team are coming, and there is no cold wind and rain, and there is no ghost crying wolf, not so much that he is an evil thing, but rather a prisoner who has just escaped from the prison of the penal department, if he has to find something strange, it is only in the 'state' of his walking.
The man who walks in a mess and has heavy shackles on his feet, but when he walks, he stands tall and folds his belly, and his gait is calm and proud, as if he is reviewing the general of the male soldiers, and like the Lord of Long Live who receives the envoys...... As he approached, his body and appearance were completely exposed to the light of the torches, the faces of every imperial guard present changed dramatically, without exception.
Others don't know it, how can they not recognize it, the young man who is walking slowly is clearly long live.
Died during the Mid-Autumn Festival parade, died in the eyes of thousands of people, the Emperor of Nanli Fenglong.
The emperor is coming...... This evil thing is really powerful.
