Chapter 43: The beauty of the good day is gone
The next day, Jiang Xingyue continued to accompany King Qin Guang to watch the execution, and after watching the cruel scenes, his heart became more and more numb: "That's it, disposing of the dead is not killing, not to mention that when the yin wind blows, they will be resurrected again." I saw a ghost pawn carrying a scoop of copper juice, pouring it into the monk's mouth, and playing: "Monk, please eat meat noodles." "The monk fell to the ground and rolled around, and the ground was full of sharp blades, piercing into the skin, and the fire started from within, which was extremely miserable.
Jiang Xingyue just wanted to pass the exam quickly, and humbly asked King Qin Guang for advice: "What crime has this monk committed?" King Qin Guang's beard stood upside down, and he said angrily: "Such a bald donkey, relying on the Buddha to cultivate his body, five meat and three hateful are not taboo, only to prostitute and gamble for a living, insulting the Dharma, although suffering from this, it is not enough to compensate for his guilt." "As a disciple of Buddhism, but the six roots are not pure, and the evil deeds are done, Jiang Xingyue only feels that he deserves it.
In the gutter, the blood flowed into a ditch, the ghost pawn dragged the prisoner out, gouged out his eyes on the spot, cut off his tongue, and cut his heart, Jiang Xingyue asked again, and King Qin Guang patiently replied: "Today, the Holy Dao is declining, so he will take advantage of his wisdom, advocate cult thoughts, lie about the world, investigate his knowledge, read a few Taoist scriptures, pick up the rest of the spit, make nonsense, bewitch others, and dismantle the corpse, and he will not atone for his sins." Jiang Xingyue secretly remembered that he was gifted and intelligent, and after studying for half a month, he had memorized the laws of the underworld backwards.
King Qin Guang held an exam, Kang Xiaoba was tied to the wooden frame, the ghost pawn was cutting thin on him with a thin blade, and threw the meat slices into the chicken pen like a copper plate, and the hungry chickens were vying to peck at him, he was not only not afraid, but also laughed loudly: "Look how you killed Kang Baye and me!" ”
Speaking of this, Kang Xiaoba is also a man of the hour, not only working against the imperial court, but also daring to insult the Empress Dowager Cixi, leaving two golden sentences, which are still happy for future generations: "If you want to intercept the yellow bar, if you want to play, you can play Niangniang." ”
This exam question is very simple and easy to understand, it is not the outline that King Qin Guang said, the test is practice makes perfect, live learning and application, the purpose is to make Kang Xiaoba give in, go to reincarnation with peace of mind, and the ghost pawns take turns to torture, all of which have no effect.
Jiang Xingyue knew that he hated Cixi, so he had a plan and shouted to him: "Lafayette passed the throne to me on his deathbed, and I am now the son of today, and the sinners still do not kneel." Saying that, he took out Cixi's jasper bracelet, Kang Xiaoba is a big thief in Jiangyang, he has read countless treasures, of course, he knows the goods, and he can't stop scolding and scolding, such as the dog emperor, the thief and the like.
Jiang Xingyue said with a smile: "Since I have inherited the unification, I am qualified to entitle you, and I am now in the name of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the sage of filial piety, to protect the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty." Kang Xiaoba even spat: "Bah, bah, I am not uncommon to be a three-foot-tall dog official!" The more the court smeared him, the more famous he became, the happier he became, but it was a great shame to make him an official, the soldiers were bloodless, Kang Xiaoba was completely defeated, and he went to reincarnate obediently, King Qin Guang was very happy, and immediately named Jiang Xingyue as a judge and was in charge of the crime.
After a while, the Tibetan Bodhisattva visited, in the hall, the golden candle of the lantern, a group of joy, the table was full of incense and pure water, it was the ten halls of the Yama King in the welcome of the Tibetan Bodhisattva, only to see the Tibetan Bodhisattva stumbling and sitting, the right hand holding the tin staff, the left hand holding the wishful beads, the law is solemn, although he has merit and Buddha Qi, but does not appear in the Buddha body, with the Bodhisattva body, make a grand wish: "Hell is not empty, the vow is not a Buddha, all living beings are exhausted, and the Bodhi is proven." ”
Along the way, he saw that the souls of the underworld were only increasing, and the sea of suffering was boundless, and his compassion suddenly rose, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I am willing to send compassion and wish to save the people in this way, but there are too few people in the world who do good and many who do evil. ”
The king of the Nine Palaces, respectfully clasped his palms together and said in unison: "We believe that the lack of good retribution is a great reason, if there are people who are both good in the world, indulge in evil deeds and fall into hell, and because they think of good deeds, their merits and demerits are offset and they are exempt from torture, and if they can further take refuge in the Three Jewels, they can be sent to the Western Paradise, and as for the sentient beings in the yang world, because they vigorously promote the Dharma and warn about the sufferings of hell, so that they can take it as a warning, accumulate blessings and cultivate virtues, and avoid falling into evil pleasures." ”
The Jizo Bodhisattva listened very satisfied, and put his palms together and said: "Good, good, if there are good men and women, whether they are in the yang world, they will be respectful in the Dharma, and they will be liberated quickly in life and death. ”
Jiang Xingyue noticed that the Nine Palaces of the Yama King all admired the salute, only the Wheel King was unaware, his palace dwells in the dark and fertile stones, facing the five turbidities of the world, and is in charge of the ghosts of each hall to be reincarnated, because of his brutal character, he often throws what should have been put into humanity, into the animal path, and what should have been put into the animal path, and then into the ghost path, causing a lot of unjustified suffering.
After waiting for the Tibetan Bodhisattva to leave on the lotus seat, King Qin Guang put on Jiang Xingyue's ear and said: "The Wheel King is brutal and wanton, contemptuous of the Buddha, and has long lost the hearts of the people. ”
This wheel king is in charge of reincarnation, his status is respected, and he wants to shake him, but the light rain crushes the giant juniper, Jiang Xingyue is not sure at all, so he asks: "What should I do?" ”
King Qin Guang smiled, and Chengzhu was in his chest: "Dizang Bodhisattva just said, to be merciful, Pudu good, recently there is a group of monks who chant scriptures and chant Buddha, because of the halfway and fell into hell, you go to buy the Yin Si who is responsible for distributing the ten halls, and send this group of monks to the Wheel Palace, the Wheel King will be severely punished, the Jizo Bodhisattva has already had an edict, this is the crime against the wind, and when the matter is investigated, it will be difficult for the Wheel King to step down." ”
Jiang Xingyue hesitated a little: "This has made this group of monks miserable." Seeing that he was still hesitant, King Qin Guang injected a heart booster: "The amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, what does it matter if you sacrifice a group of bald donkeys who are unfaithful to the Dharma for your career, think about the future, when you take over the Wheel Palace, we will join forces and achieve great things." "As we all know, the Ten Palaces Yama has been fighting openly and secretly, if there is an alliance between the two halls, they can order the Ten Palaces, don't dare to disobey, King Qin Guang's abacus is really shrewd.
In the Senluo Palace, the sword forest towers to the sun, the sword ridge is towering, there is a kind of fear of oppression, Yin Si is approving the document, Jiang Xingyue came uninvited, brought a pot of wine, and poured him full: "A pot of wine among the flowers, drink alone without a blind date, drink with me." ”
Yin Si looked at him nervously: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't beat around the bush." “
Jiang Xingyue said bluntly: "It is worthy of being a Yin Division, and I will say it bluntly, there is a group of monks in the Yin Book, I want to ask you to distribute it to the Wheel Palace." Yin Si didn't think about it, and flatly refused: "This is the ghost assigned to the Song Emperor of the Three Palaces, how can it be changed at will?" “
Jiang Xingyue smiled at the corner of her eyebrows, and her mouth was like a river: "As far as I know, it is not illegal to assign to any hall, as long as you move your pen and ink slightly, the position of the judge of this Wheel Palace is yours." Yin Si's mind moved slightly, and just in case, he still asked, "Who sent you and what do you want?" “
Jiang Xingyue knew that he was beginning to waver, his eyes were as deep as a pool of water, and he added another flower to the brocade: "I won't tell you, I am a lobbyist sent by King Qin Guang, the purpose is to bring down the Wheel King, the Wheel King has gone against the grain, and the people's grievances have long been boiling, you help us, it is to eliminate harm for the people, why not do it." ”
After all, I have never seen the world, although Yin Si has been moved, but afraid of the interests and dangers, in a dilemma, Jiang Xinyue walked in the lonely and bleak hall, and made a compassionate demeanor: "The opportunity is in front of you, but you miss it, it is the biggest tragedy, you sesame little official, you have never seen the scenery from a higher place, how do you know which life is what you want, and when you meet someone who can make you fly higher, don't you really think about it?" ”
The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the lord and do things, Yin Si thought about it again and again, gritted his teeth, crossed his heart, took the dragon and snake, and gave the ghost to the wheel king.
The Wheel King really "lived up to expectations" and severely punished this group of monks, and the Hades King Youche banished the Wheel King, not because he was merciful, but because he was forced by the pressure of the Jizo Bodhisattva, and the person was executed, and after the Wheel King stepped down, King Qin Guang held a banquet to celebrate this victory.
At the dinner in the underworld, the cartouche crimson candles, the satin tablecloth with gold silk edges, everything is in order, the style is extraordinary, as if there is a happy event of welcoming red and sending white, and the moon is full in the heart of the sky, King Qin Guang picked up the wine glass and saluted King Bian Cheng: "Your daughter is like a flower like jade, my friend is heroic, she is really a talented woman, a pair made in heaven, I intend to match them, I don't know what King Bian Cheng wants?" ”
King Bian Cheng saw that Jiang Xingyue was handsome, and his manners and deeds were just right, and he was a talent, so he said: "This Jiang Gongzi, with a dignified appearance and a lofty spirit, I can get this dragon and a son-in-law, what more can I ask for, it's just that marriage is a matter of two people, and I have to ask for the opinion of the little girl." ”
But seeing that Bi Shumin, the daughter of King Bian Cheng, was gentle and elegant, graceful, smiling and bowing, quiet like a delicate flower shining on water, and she was also a beauty, but Jiang Xingyue had no idea of marrying a wife and taking a concubine, so she wanted to open her mouth to refuse, and King Qin Guang whispered next to his ear: "The competition for the king of Hades is organized by King Bian Cheng, if you climb with him to your in-laws, the position of the king of the wheel will be stable." Jiang Xingyue only felt a little disdainful of deceiving other people's feelings in exchange for her own interests, but she didn't want to be trapped in the underworld and was in a dilemma for a while.
Seeing that Jiang Xingyue didn't speak, King Bian Cheng thought that he had acquiesced, and saw that his daughter's face was flushed, and he was afraid of rain and shy flowers, so he immediately promised: "The little girl has just grown up, although she is delicate and lovely, but she still doesn't know how to make a bed. He spoke without subtlety, and the guests at the dinner table smiled happily, which made Jiang Xingyue's face red, and he couldn't wait to get under the table.
King Bian Cheng prepared quickly, and after three days, he asked Jiang Xingyue to come to the door to propose, and the dowry was simple, in fact, King Bian Cheng also had his own considerations, one is that his daughter admires a lot, and the mansion is full of people every day, which is very annoying, so that they can be discouraged, and the second is that they can do a good job in the relationship between King Qin Guang through marriage, and in the future, his son-in-law will fly Huang Tengda, and he can be dominated by the three halls, and in the ten halls, it is casual to call for wind and rain.
On the day of the wedding, dozens of miles of red makeup were paved, and the sparkling yin cars lined up from the street to the end of the alley, beating gongs and drums all the way along the way, so it was not lively, the sedan chair entered the door, King Qin Guang ordered people to set off a cannon battle to greet him, Bi Shumin was crowned with a phoenix, and the dressing maid pulled into the lobby, and the music played a hundred birds and a phoenix, and the dragon and phoenix were auspicious.
Jiang Xingyue was dressed in a dragon-patterned dress like a flag in the wind, but there was no joy, Bi Shumin's cheeks were crimson, like a moon flower, and the flowers were not shown. ”
The two came to the front of the hall and took their seats, and listened to the presiding officer: "One worships heaven and earth, the other worships the high hall, and the husband and wife worship each other." They first bowed to the sky, and then knelt down to King Qin Guang and King Bian Cheng, Jiang Xingyue was extremely unhappy, because the man had gold under his knees, and what was even more embarrassing was that it was not his parents who worshipped, but the ancestors who recognized it, which was really undignified, and in the final link, they faced each other, bent down and kowtowed.
In the cave room, the golden furnace was scented with algae, the red tent was slightly rippling, and a burst of pink incense was coming, Jiang Xingyue was about to uncover her hijab, when suddenly Su Kelan broke in, looked at this scene, and ran straight out again.
Jiang Xingyue hurriedly chased after her, and finally caught up, but she slapped her back, and the big slap was imprinted on her face: "Why did you marry another woman behind my back?" Jiang Xingyue felt that she was more wronged than Dou E, and said with an innocent face: "Only by marrying her temporarily, can we have the possibility of escaping, you have to believe me." ”
I thought I could extinguish Su Kelan's anger, but I didn't expect it to add fuel to the fire: "In order to achieve your goal, you don't hesitate to deceive other people's feelings and violate your conscience, what is the difference between this and those corrupt officials, I really misjudged you!" Two choices, either you make it clear to Miss Bi and cancel the marriage contract, or treat her sincerely, I have no complaints. ”
Jiang Xingyue didn't want to fake the show, but if there was a showdown at this time, it would be wasted, so she had to promise the latter first, and then make plans when the time was ripe. ”
Bi Shumin waited all night, but didn't see him come back, Yingying stood up with a silver slug on her back, drank a glass of wine with a blowjob, and felt sorry in her heart: "That's it, whether you are good to me or bad, I will always be your person." Crying lightly wet red powder, slightly turning the transverse waves, but she didn't say anything, in the morning she untied the phoenix crown, shoulders, and gave others makeup times, and she was willing to do Mei Xiang to obey.
King Bian Cheng saw that his daughter was guarding the cave room alone, but there was no trace of Jiang Xingyue, so he was very angry and asked, "Good daughter, did the kid surnamed Jiang bully you?" Daddy is angry with you. Bi Shumin quickly wiped away the tears and said with a smile: "Dad, you misunderstood, Jiang Gongzi treated me very well, but I drank too much last night and was a little too drunk, so I went back to the room to rest first." Although he had a good time, he finally didn't lose her, and King Bian Cheng chattered a few words and left.
