Chapter 112: The Secret of the Buddha's Treasure
Hu Xianxian stroked Caique's head, sneered and said, "Put it away? This magpie is arrogant. Not everyone can do it casually. If it changes back to the form of a jade carving, I don't know when it will be summoned. ”
Cheng Haofeng's brows twisted into Sichuan characters, "To cultivate the tacit understanding between the mount and the master is not something that can be done in a day or two, you go with me first, there is no danger this time, and you don't need Caique to save you." ”
"Not dangerous? But why didn't you say it when you were in Taixing Mansion? ”
"You think I'd love to see you? It's Dorjee. Kahler will not give in until he sees you. ”
Hu Xianxian laughed loudly when he heard this, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes when he laughed, "Dorjee. Kler? It's the leader of the monks, right? He wants to see me before he will give in? Cheng Zhenren: Why do you suddenly have the leisure to make such a joke? ”
Cheng Haofeng's face was grim, "Dorjee. Kale demanded that you must be by his side before he would evacuate his people back to Fanbang. ”
Hu Xianxian patted the crumbs of dim sum on his hands and said lazily, "I don't want to go." Now I can only stay comfortably in the land temple of Uncle Gui for a while, and I don't want to go anywhere. ”
"What conditions do you have to agree to go?"
"I don't have anything I want, so you can worry."
Hu Xianxian treated him as if he didn't exist, and asked people to bring hot water to her to wash her face, and then asked people to prepare a big wooden barrel and said that she wanted to bathe Caique...... She called the temple blessings in the land temple and drank them, and they were busy. After returning from Gui Chongxu's errands, she stopped pleading with her subordinates with a smiling face.
She stopped, sat for a while, and felt the wound hurt. She begged to return with a bitter face and went to get the golden medicine, and then she remembered that the injured leg had not been smeared with medicine.
"You don't have to look for it", Cheng Haofeng shouted to Gui Chongxu, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Hu Xianxian, "This is the medicine prepared by the sixth junior brother, which is better than the usual Jinchuang medicine." ”
Hu Xianxian took the porcelain vase, pulled up his trouser legs, and bowed down to take the medicine. Seeing that a large piece of flesh was missing from her calf, and the blood stains were all condensed into purple-black dry scabs, Gui Chong exhaled in shock.
Hu Xianxian endured the pain and smiled at Gui Chong, she wanted to laugh at him for being too fussy and living for thousands of years...... Her smile froze on her face before she could unfold, and Cheng Haofeng snatched the porcelain vase! She was so aggrieved that she couldn't laugh, and he wouldn't even give her medicine?
Cheng Haofeng pinched the porcelain bottle and asked Gui Chongxu to find some soju, and reprimanded her with a black face like the bottom of a pot: "You also have a few medical books in your memory, right?" Don't know the easiest way to treat wounds? After suffering such a serious injury, you don't know how soon to heal the injury, you just rubbed for so long, and you don't want to think that the time drags on for a long time, and the wound is easy to deteriorate? ”
Gui Chongxu quickly brought the soju, Cheng Haofeng casually turned into a small black knife, steady, accurate, and ruthlessly scraped off the scabs of her wounds, and then poured wine, medicated, and wrapped in gauze, and the healing was completed in one go.
Hu Xianxian didn't snort, not because he was afraid of losing face by exhaling pain, but because he couldn't exhale if he gritted his teeth too tightly.
Gui Chongxu saw that her face was pale and cold sweat flowed, and dragged her wrist to check the pulse, "This ...... There are also internal injuries...... Why didn't you heal your injuries first? ”
Hu Xianxian drooped his eyelids and didn't have the strength to speak, and sneered: I originally wanted to heal my wounds in your land temple for a few days, who knew he would follow?
Cheng Haofeng may have disliked her for being too troublesome, and ordered Gui Chongxu loudly: "Gui Dao Chief, please use your spiritual power to stabilize her spirit and suppress internal injuries, the matter is urgent, and I don't have time to wait for her to recuperate." ”
Gui Chongxu squeaked a little reluctantly: "Me? You...... I'm afraid I don't have enough spiritual power......"
Cheng Haofeng didn't know when there were three more pills in his hand, and he handed them to Gui Chongxu: "This is the Shengyuan Pill, which increases the aura and replenishes the vitality." ”
With the aura of Gui Chong Xuan passing through the two veins of Ren Du from the big vertebral acupoint, and then all over the meridians, Hu Xianxian felt much more comfortable all over his body.
When he returned to Chong and finished his work and served the Yuan Dan, Hu Xianxian said softly: "Thank you Cheng Zhenren for your help, but I really don't want to see any monks." ”
Gui Chongxu only took one Shengyuan Pill, and the remaining two were carefully received in a small box. After he took the pill, his whole person seemed more energetic, and after listening to what Hu Xianxian said, he said: "Xianxian, why do you also call Cheng Zhenren?" ”
Cheng Haofeng shook his head towards Gui Chongxu, waved his big sleeves, and pointed out the door. Gui Chong smiled and said goodbye and left.
Cheng Haofeng closed the door and sat upright in his chair, "You don't want to know my secret?" The secrets of those monks? ”
"I think a little bit about it." Hu Xianxian said seriously, "However, you have to tell me these secrets first, and then explain how I want to testify." I felt that the secret was worth hearing, and that there was no danger in doing those testimonies, so I went. ”
Cheng Haofeng smiled coldly, "You really deserve to be a trader, bargaining, and calculating." As he spoke, he moved his chair and sat down opposite Hu Xianxian, "You ask, what do you want to know?" ”
Hu Xianxian looked at the door, "You're not afraid that your secret will be overheard by others?" ”
Cheng Haofeng waved his hand impatiently, and Hu Xianxian felt that the room was shrouded in a layer of faint golden light, "You can easily set up a soundproof barrier?" ”
Cheng Haofeng raised his left eyebrows, "You want to know the reason why my skills have improved by leaps and bounds, right?" ”
Hu Xianxian smiled, "I'm just curious, I didn't want to learn your exercises." ”
Cheng Haofeng said: "Even if you want to learn, you can't learn. My exercises are a combination of Taoism and Buddhism, and I avoid the disadvantages of practicing different exercises at the same time, which can cause muscle and vein disorders. Only I can avoid this drawback, and none of you can because I have taken a special elixir. ”
Hu Xianxian touched his heart to calm his mood. She thought that the reason why he let Gui Chong waste his spiritual power to stabilize her Yuan Shen was that his exercises were inconsistent with theirs, and his spiritual power could protect the mental veins to which their physical bodies belonged, but he could not let their meridians withstand his spiritual power.
Then, that elixir must contain power that does not belong to the Dao Sect, "If my guess is right, this elixir is refined with Hui Ke's broken arm?" ”
"Yes. Hui Keben was born in a big family that was a general in the next generation of the Taoist branch, and he believed that his family could not keep the country peaceful and the people healthy because the Taoist purpose of governing the world was fundamentally wrong. ”
Hu Xianxian asked softly: "So he entered the Buddhism Gate, hoping to use the Buddhism to persuade people to be kind and all living beings are equal, so that the monarchs of all countries in the war will give up fighting, and the world will be calmed?" ”
"Yes, at first he ran away from home and went around lobbying the monarchs with some monks in the Buddhist sect. But with little success, he thinks that his own knowledge is insufficient, and he feels that he is not really enlightened, so how can he exonerate others? He heard that Master Bodhidharma from Tianzhu was a great enlightened being, so he worshipped him as a teacher with all his heart. ”
Hu Xianxian couldn't help but admire Hui Ke, "For the sake of the grand wish in my heart, I will not regret it, and in order to seek enlightenment, I will not hesitate to break my arm and clear my will." I really can't do that. ”
Cheng Haofeng said with a somewhat sneering expression: "He broke his arm in order to cut off the influence of Taoist thought in his heart and get rid of his attachment to the people in his family." Is such an ungrateful and unrighteous person worthy of admiration? ”
Hu Xianxian smiled, thinking to himself, didn't you yourself do something to betray the Daomen? It's embarrassing to say that others are ungrateful and unkind.
But she didn't want to argue with Cheng Haofeng, so she diverted the conversation, "You said how did you get this Hui Ke broken arm, and what is the origin of this Hui Ke broken arm with those monks?" ”
The expression on Cheng Haofeng's face calmed down, "What exists in this Hui Ke's broken arm is his own thoughts from the past, as well as all kinds of feelings and miscellaneous thoughts. He himself wouldn't care about such a severed arm at all, of course, he discarded it casually. Later, his Dharma cultivation became higher and higher, and his disciples became more and more numerous, and one day one disciple found that the severed arm cut in the grass on the side of the mountain did not rot......"
Hu Xianxian said: "This disciple thought that Master Hui Ke was benevolent and compassionate to make the broken arm incorruptible, so he enshrined this broken arm as a Buddha treasure and offered it to him?" ”
"Yes. But they don't know that the real reason why the broken arm is not corrupt is that this broken arm contains too many grievances and hatreds, and it actually has the heart of the Buddha, the root of the Dao, and the demonic nature, which does not belong to the five elements, does not belong to heaven and earth, and is self-generating consciousness. ”
Hu Xianxian sat up straight, less disgusted by what Cheng Haofeng had done. sighed that what was a sincere wish for goodness would give birth to unexpected disasters. There are many things that can not be done with ambition in the heart, and the final result is often deviated from the original intention. I don't blame Cheng Haofeng for not taking himself to heart, only blame myself for not being what he expected at all.
Seeing that she was listening carefully, Cheng Haofeng's voice lowered, and his eyes showed very complicated emotions, and he spoke slowly.
Hui Ke's disciples and grandchildren did not notice this, but a monk who came to make a pilgrimage saw the clue. Although this monk is in the Buddhist sect, he does not really believe in Buddhism. What he wants is not only the reverence and worship of others, but also the real power to sit on the world. This monk used gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful women to get the emperor to order the Buddha treasure to be handed over to the state for safekeeping.
But even if the emperor agreed, how could Hui Ke's disciples and grandchildren agree? Just because Hui Ke's disciples and grandchildren only thought that Hui Ke's broken arm was a sacred relic of Buddhism, they did not realize its importance. Moreover, when the emperor issued the decree, he only said that it was to be friendly to the foreign countries, so that the people in the wilderness could also be illuminated by the Buddha's light, and they would return it after a few years of worship, but he did not say that he would give it away. Therefore, they also agreed to send Hui Ke's broken arm to Fanbang.
Hu Xianxian smiled and sighed: "Will it be returned in a few years? The monk will definitely not be willing to return it. ”
"I really don't want to return it. But Hui Ke's disciples and grandchildren have already noticed that there is something strange about the broken arm, and the previous emperor has died, and the new emperor will have to curry favor with these Buddhists. The newly succeeded emperor, he thought that if he did not return the Buddha treasure, he would raise troops to destroy the Fan Bang Prime Minister and threaten to force the monks to agree to return. ”
"Since it has been handed back, it is Hui Ke's disciples and grandchildren who are keeping it, but how can the Buddha treasure be in Shanfu Temple? I remember that Zenfukuji and Hui Ke's sects were not the same, and Zenfukuji was a Tendai sect rather than a Zen sect. ”
"This is going to talk about the ancestors of King Shenjun. At that time, the monks were willing to return the Buddha treasure because they were coerced, and it was also because they themselves could not understand how to obtain the energy contained in the Buddha treasure after several years. So, while the monk had no choice but to return the Buddha treasure, he also said that the then King of Shenjun begged the emperor to hand over the Buddha treasure to Shanfu Temple for safekeeping. ”
"Oh, this monk thinks that the people of Zenfukuji Temple will definitely not attach as much importance to the Buddha treasure as the disciples and grandchildren of Hui Keyan. And with the inner response of King Shenjun, you can also steal the Buddha treasure at any time. But what were the conditions that made King Shenjun willing to help him? What reason did King Shenjun use to persuade Hui Ke's disciples and grandsons to agree to save Hui Ke's broken arm in Shanfu Temple? ”
"What do these county kings want most? It's easy to think of, right? Some positions are too far away to give birth to delusions. The status of only one step away will make people unwilling and it is easy to give birth to delusions. Of course, the monk understood that. ”
Hu Xianxian sighed lightly, "Yes, that kind of power that is absolutely above others is very attractive. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Haofeng's mouth, "The king of Shenjun said to Hui Ke's disciples and grandchildren that in order to prevent the monks from being unwilling to steal the Buddha treasure, it was a helpless choice to transfer the Buddha treasure to a place for preservation. With the pressure of the emperor and the assurance of the prince, those disciples and grandchildren feel that the people of Shanfu Temple are always more reliable than the monks. ”
"So, there has been a collusion between the monk and the king of Shenjun for many years? Does this generation of King Shenjun know this? ”
"I know a little, but it's not very clear. It was Shen Tingyang who knew these things, and Shen Tingyang made Han Zexi break off the relationship with those monks. ”
"And then? And then I inadvertently revealed the truth that Hui Ke's broken arm was actually in the Shenjun Palace? Get your attention on the matter. ”
"Yes, in the past, several generations of King Shenjun were assisting the monk to crack the secret of this Hui Ke's broken arm. After such a long time, some people who have been close to the palace certainly know some about the situation, including Pan Zongqiang. Pan Zongqiang just wanted to blackmail the people of the palace to save him, and he didn't think that I needed a way to recover my skills quickly, when I was almost exhausted. ”
"You transferred the Buddha treasure when Shen Tingyang sent it back to Shanfu Temple?"
"It's not me who transferred the Buddha treasure, it's everything that Shen Tingyang did. When he had done these things, he handed me the severed arm with his own hands. ”
"Shen Tingyang? Hehe, maybe King Shenjun doesn't know about this matter, right? What is the purpose of this Shen Tingyang? Hu Xianxian cupped his cheeks and thought for a while before asking, "After you got the Buddha Treasure, how did you crack the secret and refine it into an elixir?" ”
Hu Xianxian's head was a mess, he thought that Cheng Haofeng would be unable to see through it, but he didn't expect that King Shenjun and Shen Tingyang would also be unable to see through it at all. She unconsciously threw out a series of questions, and Cheng Haofeng's face turned cold when she heard it.
He said indifferently: "I have no comment on this question. ”
