Looking at Bukong's expression, Princess Yongjia squatted down, stared at him and said: "I have already found a person who looks and is similar to you in advance, and is waiting outside the palace now, you come with me now, and let him replace you tomorrow to complete the welcome ceremony, but you don't have to worry!" ”

Bukong raised his head and wondered: "Are you planning to let someone else die for me?" ”

"I knew you were going to react this way."

Princess Yongjia pursed her mouth and said: "But apart from this, do you have a better way, besides, whether this Gawu box contains the Buddha's relics, you should know better than anyone else, right?" ”

"What do you want to do in Jing'an Temple, obviously there is a real Buddha relic not to send, but to send this fake, could it be that after the death of the host in the temple, he wants to deceive the people of the world in the name of the Buddha to worship, in order to achieve perfection?"

Princess Yongjia seemed to say something unintentionally, but it made Bukong's face change drastically, and this change also fell in Princess Yongjia's eyes, and her face suddenly stiffened, "I, am I right?" ”

Seeing that the empty face was sinking like water, Princess Yongjia took a deep breath, "You guys are really bold!" ”

Seeing that Bukong lowered her eyebrows and was silent, Princess Yongjia said anxiously: "When is it, can't even I say, deceive the king, do you know that this is a big crime, even if you die in Kaiyuan Temple tomorrow, but the anger of your father will definitely spread to the entire Buddhist land, you have always promised to have the world as your own responsibility, but if you are alone, tens of thousands of monks and nuns have died innocently, and thousands of years of Buddhism have been destroyed, after you die, what face do you have to face the Buddha, are you not afraid of going to hell!" ”

"To hell?" Bukong shook his head, "But if I leave now, can I save the Buddha Sect from this catastrophe?" ”

"Of course!"

Princess Yongjia stood up and said proudly: "The stand-in I found for you, although the shape is similar to yours, but after all, it is not you, when the time comes, if the Buddha's relics are really found to be fakes on the spot, you can also put all the responsibility on him, this person will become a Jiangyang thief who has long been registered in the criminal department, and killed you on the way you sent the Buddha's relics, but when you threw your body into the river, you found that the two looked similar, so you started to steal the sky and change the day, and the face of the saint to win fame, so that there is a fake to confuse the true." , Replace the Buddha's relics with ordinary relics, and the Jiangyang thief incarnates as a monk who is not empty, and enters Beijing to face the saint. ”

Bukong frowned, looked at Princess Yongjia in surprise, and wondered: "With only his words, can he really hide from the world?" ”

Princess Yongjia smiled, "This matter will not have a result, if it is not empty, it will be swallowed and committed suicide after stating the cause of the matter, this matter will become a headless public case, the real Buddha relics are completely lost to the world, and the father will also seal the mouths of everyone present with thunderous means in order to save face, and from now on there will be no more things to welcome the Buddha's relics, and the world's Buddhism can also be spared." ”

When Princess Yongjia was speaking, the royal majesty that inadvertently emanated from the inside out made Bukong slightly moved, but before he could speak, Princess Yongjia bent down and looked at him and said: "But if it is you who will die tomorrow, the real monk will send fake relics into Beijing and deceive the current saint, and the result will be different." ”

"Zizhi Tongjian" volume 24 records, Yuan and 14 years of the first month of the twelfth month, by the Jiannan Province Jing'an Temple monks are not empty, escorted to Chang'an Buddha relics in the same year in the Kaiyuan Temple to protect the country in the real body pagoda, Tang Xianzong Li Chunsheng drove in person, the ceremony scale is grand, the grand occasion is unprecedented, not to mention, the princes and the people are dedicated to alms, lest it reach, there are those who exhaust their production and donate, there are people who burn incense on the top of their arms.

In this regard, Han Yu proceeded from the Confucian position and resolutely opposed it.

He believed that Buddhism was only the law of Yidi, not inherent in China, so it was not in line with the way of the previous kings, and in the "Complete Works of Han Changli" volume 39) and said, "If the Buddha has a spirit, he can do evil, and if there is a disaster, it is advisable to add to the body."

This table is in conflict with Xianzong's intention to worship the Buddha, and the previous generations of Buddha-worshipping kings have not been lucky for a long time, so they have attracted the wrath of Xianzong, and he wants to punish Han Yu with capital punishment.

Later, after the intercession of Pei Du, Cui Qun and others, it was finally demoted to the history of Chaozhou Thorn.

At this point, no one in the court said anything about it.

In July of the same year, Tang Xianzong Li Chun went to Kaiyuan Temple again alone, leaving a scroll to hide, and after the war, he also lost his whereabouts.

"On this trip, do you want to continue to be your monk and travel all over the world?"

On the bank of the Xiangshui River, Princess Yongjia wore a black robe that covered half of her face, rode on a horse, looked at Bukong who was standing on the bow of the boat with a cyan hat, and whispered.

Bukong pricked the artemisia in his hand to the bottom of the water, and sighed: "I don't kill Beren, but Boren died because of me, this move has violated the precept of killing Buddhism, I'm a monk, I'm afraid I can't do it anymore." ”

When Princess Yongjia heard this, a light suddenly flashed in her eyes, she turned over and got off her horse to get closer, and said softly: "Then won't your promise that day be fulfilled to me?" ”

Bukong bit his lip, looked up at Princess Yongjia's eyes, and said, "Before that, I still need to go back to Jing'an Temple and inform Abbot Yu of the situation here, so as not to cause trouble to Xiao Wall, and all that the princess has done will be in vain." ”

Princess Yongjia stepped forward in two steps, stretched out her hand and was about to grab the arm that was not empty, but as if she remembered the scar he was shrouded in the hat, her hand froze in mid-air, and she muttered: "This trip is far away, I can send someone to do it, and you don't need to go personally." ”

Bukong shook his head, "Buddhism pays attention to the cause and effect of all beings, and the old abbot still has something to say to him, so I'll come back." ”

Princess Yongjia looked at the emptiness deeply, as if she had made a difficult decision, and then nodded heavily, as if she couldn't bear to witness the wound of parting, and said "I'll wait for you", returned to the shore, turned over on the horse, and walked away.

I thought that the matter would come to an end here, but I never expected that the picture changed abruptly at this time, it was still the crystal clear river, the mountains on both sides of the river towered, uninhabited, only an empty bamboo raft slowly drifted along the river, and waited for the bamboo raft to disappear along the crooked river, and three more people appeared on the bank.

The three of them were dressed in black, but each of them had a piercing red flower on their chests, and the person standing on the left bowed to the leader and said, "The corpse is sinking to the bottom of the river, you can go back and restore the saint." ”

The leader nodded, but the man hesitated: "But the princess ...... there"

"Everything should be done according to the will of the Holy One, and if they can't stay alive, then let them form a grudge couple after death."

……

He opened his eyes suddenly, struggled to sit up, looked at the empty mountains and fields in his eyes, and the forest birds that landed at his feet, and let out a long breath.

Nan Ke is a dream.

But this dream is inevitably too real, the Tang Dynasty monk is not empty is my previous life, Princess Yongjia, and it is Wei Junyao.

"Is everything in the dream real?"

I looked up in a whisper, only to find that the mountains and fields in front of me were full of, rows of trees were cut off by sharp blades, the ground was full of the corpses of wild beasts, blood soaked the land, and even the rock walls around me were concave with irregular pits.

"I did it?"

Standing up slowly, checking that the remnant soul was fine, but deep down there seemed to be a seed sprouting, very faint, but it could be felt very clearly.

Inner demons.

I sighed deeply, bent down to pick up the black iron sword on the ground, and looked down to find that the scar on my heart was still there, there was no blood, just an opening, the size was just the width of the sword body, nothing unusual.

The sprout of the demon has appeared, it is like planting a time bomb in the body that will detonate at any time, looking at the corpses and rivers of blood flowing all around the ground, I sighed slightly, I am lucky to be able to survive, I want to meet the old man again in a short time, I am afraid it will not work.

The dream resurfaced in his mind, clenched the hilt of the sword, and whispered: "Chang'an, Kaiyuan Temple......"

I made up my mind, patted the soil on my body, followed the trend of the grass growing on the ground, and went all the way down the mountain, and by the time I could see the people, I had already walked for a whole day and a night.

At the bottom of the mountain is a small village half-embraced by the mountains, there are not many people, standing on the mountainside, you can see all the outlines, I looked down and glanced at the appearance of my body, and the black sword that was filled with blood stains and solidified, I didn't go down to the village, and after carefully distinguishing the direction of leaving, I ran out of the road without stopping.
