Chapter 17 Worship the Buddha and go up the mountain

From the foot of Tantuo Mountain to Yanjing City is only twenty miles, ride a horse for a while, at this hour, the city gate of Yanjing City has been closed, Jin Cicada showed the waist card of Shuntianfu, said that the case was returned, and after the soldiers guarding the city inspected, they let the two enter the city. Although he saw that there were two Dao aunts in custody immediately, he only laughed.

The two Dao aunts heard it clearly, how these two guys were not thieves, but became the head catchers of Shuntian Mansion, which was really puzzling to them. Could it be that the people of Shuntianfu still dare to go to the temple in the pond. With a feeling of wonder, the two were escorted into Suncheonfu.

Before Jin Chan went out, Yue Su instructed that as long as he took the person, no matter what time it was, he would immediately return to his life. All the golden cicadas didn't dare to delay, and after entering the door, they asked Tie Qiu to escort the two Dao aunts to the back office to watch, and ran to the back house to report in person.

As soon as Yue Su heard that it was the golden cicada who came back, he hurriedly got up and went out to meet him, and after receiving the report, he ordered the golden cicada to immediately greet Tong Zhou and be on duty, and ascend to the hall overnight.

Quickly put on the official uniform, rushed to the back hall, and the messenger followed, and with a "mighty" sound left and right, the two Dao aunts were escorted to the court.

As soon as Daogu went to the lobby, she was immediately kicked to her knees, Wang Daogu was a clever person, seeing Yue Su wearing a black veil and wearing an official uniform, knowing that it was Shuntianfu Yin, she hurriedly kowtowed, "Poor Dao King Xuanru see the eldest master." ”

The young Dao Gu also kowtowed, "Xiaodao Li Zhenxiu see the eldest master." ”

Yue Su looked solemn and said, "What happened to the two of you running to the Buddha Gate Pure Land in the middle of the night?" ”

"This ......" Yue Su's question is really not easy to answer, what are the two Taoist aunts doing in the monk's temple in the middle of the night, it is unreasonable to say that they worship the Buddha, I haven't heard of a Taoist priest going to worship the Buddha in these years. If that's the case, what kind of Taoist aunt should you just be a nun.

"If you two can't answer, let this government answer on your behalf......" said, stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Daogu, and continued: "Li Zhenxiu sent you to Tantuo Temple to have a private meeting with Fajue." ”

"No, it's not ......" Wang Daogu hurriedly denied.

"Isn't it?" Yue Su sneered and shouted, "What you said and did in the Fajue room last night, do you need to tell it on your behalf!" ”

"Big, big...... You...... What does this mean....... Poor Dao really doesn't understand what you are talking about......" Hearing Yue Su say this, Wang Daogu was frightened, and the words that came out of her mouth had no confidence at all.

"You had a private meeting with Fajue last night, did that reluctant, and helped him persuade the abducted women from good families, all of which I saw and heard with my own eyes. In the court, you still dare to deny it and deceive the government, do you know what kind of crime this is? Come on, give me thirty slaps! ”

Yue Su gave an order, and immediately a messenger stepped forward, picked up the plank, and did not allow Wang Daopo to explain, "Crackling" and pumped thirty times, and the mouth that was only hit was dripping with blood.

After the execution, Yue Su said again: "Wang Xuanru, this mansion asks you again, what did you do when you went to Tantuo Temple last night?" ”

"Back to ...... Back to adults...... Xiaodao went to have a tryst with Fajue last night...... "At this time, Wang Daopo also knows that if she doesn't recruit, there will be a big punishment waiting for her." Now that people already know, why bother asking for hardship, they don't believe that Yue Su still dares to catch Fajue.

"What else?" Yue asked sharply.

"And ...... And also...... It is to help Fajue persuade the abducted women to make them comply......" Wang Daopo gritted her teeth and said.

"Smack!" Yue Su knocked on the shocked wood and scolded: "The dignified Zen Monastery has become a place for you to wait for you, hide dirt and dirt, and force the good to be annihilated, can you know what kind of crime this is?" ”

"My lord, Xiaodao is just a fan of Fajue, and occasionally helps him be a lobbyist, but he really hasn't done anything to destroy the evil, and I hope that the adults will learn from it. All of these things are the work of Fajue, and have nothing to do with the small path. "Wang Daopo's words are very obvious, the bad things are all done by Fajue, you have the ability to arrest him.

"Haven't you done anything evil?" Yue Su sneered and said: "Just one thing to do in the Efeng Monastery is the crime of bullying the king, it is enough for you to die a hundred times, what else do you want to do!" This house is asking you, what is the place in your pure wisdom? ”

"This ......" has just told Jin Chan and Tie Qiu, and now that she wants to change her words, Wang Daopo doesn't have the guts, so she can only answer truthfully: "Although it is a Taoist faΓ§ade, it is no different from a Qinglou......

"Hahahaha...... Yue Su's laughter was full of anger, and he said: "The place where you practice is filthy again, and you are still a monk." This government asks you again, within your Taoist temple, have you done anything to force good people to become prostitutes? ”

"This ...... This is not ......" Wang Daopo hesitated for a moment and hurriedly replied.

"If you don't recognize it now, it's okay, when Ming Yu confiscates your Taoist temple, everything will naturally come out. Come on, let her sign and draw! ”

There are four clerkships in Shuntian Mansion, after all, they are big yamen, and there are many errands, not necessarily all of them write confessions. Everyone took turns on duty, and tonight it happened to be a clerk surnamed Zhao, who lived in the duty room in the ya, and also called him over to help write the confession.

asked Wang Daogu to sign and draw the charge, and then put the two Daogu into the women's prison together and strictly guarded them. Yue Su let go, once he loses, he will not forgive.

After resting for one night, the next Yue Su ascended to the hall, and ordered Tong Zhou to take a hundred officials to Jinghuiguan, and sealed the Taoist temple, and all the cadres in the temple, no matter who they were, were brought back to the palace. Subsequently, he ordered another 200 errands, took Ruan Aoyue, Jin Chan, Yin Zhu, Tie Qiu, Li Haoran, and Li Haoquan, and went to Tantuo Temple with great fanfare.

***************************************************

There was nothing to say all the way, the guard of honor of Fu Yin came to the outside of Tantuo Temple, and there was an errand who handed over the name post, explaining that Lord Yin of the Ming Mansion came by order, and the monks who guarded the door were busy passing in, and after a while, Fa Jue personally took dozens of monks out to greet him.

Yue Su and Ruan Aoyue got off the sedan chair and walked forward, Fa Jue came down to greet each other, and when the two met, Yue Su sighed secretly in his heart, this monk has a good appearance, but he didn't expect to do countless dirty things, it's a pity.

"I don't know if the adults came by order, and the poor monks are late to greet them, and I hope the adults are not strange." Fa Jue stood still in front of Yue Su, clasped his palms together, bowed slightly, and said respectfully. After speaking, his eyes glanced at Ruan Aoyue beside Yue Su. Ruan Aoyue is as beautiful as a flower, and her eyebrows are heroic, Fa Jue couldn't help but tremble when she saw it, and said secretly: "What a stunning beauty, it's a pity that she came from Shuntianfu, let's stop today, and when I come, I must find a way to get along." ”

According to common sense, Fa Jue is the emperor's universal saint Zen master, and unless he sees the royal family and nobles, he generally does not need to bow down. It's just that Yue Su came by order, and Fa Jue of course wanted to give the emperor some face, so he bowed slightly to Yue Su.

Yue Su arched his hand and said, "The Pusheng Zen Master is polite, although this mansion is here by order, it is also dedicated to the Buddha. Listening to His Majesty's words, the Zen master's Buddhism is profound, and when I see it today, I am fortunate to have three lives. It is really admirable that the Zen master has been blessed with the favor and is still so approachable. Today, Your Majesty ordered me to come for the sake of the Buddha's gift. ”

"It's hard to worry about Your Majesty, and the little monk is ashamed. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. As he spoke, Fa Jue bowed to the north, and this time his waist was bent at ninety degrees. Then he got up and said, "My lord, please, let's sit down and talk." ”

"Then there will be Zen Master Lao to lead the way." Yue Su was polite and entered the temple with Aoyue Tongfa Jue. Of course, the Jin Chan, Tie Qiu and others in the back also led the messengers to follow.

After entering the door, I saw the shrine in the middle at a glance, where the night before and the golden cicada were hiding. Continuing forward, it was the main hall, but when he was about to walk to the main hall, Fa Jue suddenly turned to the left and said, "Your Excellency, please." ”

How could Yue Su let him change his route, but said: "This house has always believed in the Buddha, and now that he has come to the treasure temple, how can there be a reason to pass by the Daxiong Treasure Hall and not enter, the Zen master might as well take me to the main hall to incense first." ”

What he said was reasonable, and it was impossible to refuse, Fa Jue thought about it, anyway, the organ is not here, so why not accompany you for a while. At the moment, he said: "What the adults said is extremely true, it is the little monk who is a little abrupt when he hears His Majesty's will. Sir, please come here. ”

As he spoke, he led the people towards the main hall.

Entering the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Yue Su pretended to put three incense sticks on the Buddha and made a pious appearance, Ruan Aoyue did not believe in Buddhism, but he was even more pious, kneeling under the Buddha statue, and did not get up for half a day. It seems that he was born to act.

Yue Su got up first and said: "Neizi is dedicated to the Buddha, every temple will burn incense, and when I see the Buddha, I will kowtow, I am busy with secular affairs, I am really not as pious as her." ”

"The Buddha who worships has the blessing of the Buddha. Adults are dedicated to the country, as long as they have a heart of respect for the Buddha, even if they are not limited to form, the Buddha will not blame. Ah Mida Buddha ......: "Fa Jue can speak good ways. It's just that what he did was really contrary to the teachings of Buddhism.

Yue Su scolded secretly in his heart, but said on his lips: "It is said that Tantuo Temple is a thousand-year-old famous temple, and now it is said that it is here, and it is really worth the trip, no wonder Neiko has always wanted me to accompany her to worship the Buddha since she entered Beijing, but unfortunately there are many mundane affairs, and there is no leisure." Later, Uchiko will definitely come often, and I hope the master will take care of it at that time. ”

"This nature, this nature ......" As soon as he heard Yue Su say this, Fa Jue was overjoyed and agreed. I thought to myself, when the little lady came alone, I must get her.

"The time for the Buddha worship has always been long, but the main thing cannot be delayed. Master, you see, otherwise, in front of the Buddha, agree on what Dharma weapons Your Majesty will give. Yue Su said with a smile.

"Madame's respect for the Buddha is a good deed, since you want to agree in front of the Buddha, then here, I think the Buddha will be happy to hear it. O Buddha ......"

At the moment, Yue Su was on top of the main hall, discussing what kind of wood was suitable for worship, and also echoed the emperor's identity. In fact, this thing is just a form, Fajue wants the emperor to reward him, in fact, he wants a talisman, by the way, let others see, what is my Fajue's identity, even the emperor Lao Tzu gave me something.

After a long negotiation, it was finally agreed that the emperor would build a nine-ring Zen staff to be offered in front of the Buddha and worshiped by believers. When the two of them discussed it and Ruan Aoyue finished worshipping the Buddha, Yue Su smiled and said that he wanted to leave and leave.

But at this time, Ruan Aoyue suddenly said: "Husband, it is rare for you and me to come to this thousand-year-old temple, how can you not take a tour around." Otherwise, it would not have been in vain. ”
