Chapter 43

Master Wujue rushed to the Imperial City of the Han Kingdom with the four little novices, "Master, I don't think the two people you rescued look like good people, and their friends are also fierce. Why did you save them?" asked Jie Se, scratching his head.

When the Buddha went out of the city, he would help the old man who was walking in difficulty, he would go to comfort the sick who were in great pain, he would bury the stiff and terrible dead, he would bring water to the farmer working under the scorching sun, he would feel pity for the ploughing oxen and the birds eating insects with thick ropes around their necks, and he would buy the dying fish in the market and release them. Everything in the world has creation, and meeting is fate, how can Buddhism see death and not save it. Master Enlightenment clasped his hands together and said.

"Master, I understand these truths. But how do you look at those people as wicked people, and I don't know how many people will die in the future to save them?" he waved his hand boredly and continued to mumble.

"Amitabha! The so-called put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Even if they are wicked, we can treat them with kindness, but how many pure souls do mortals have when they are affected by the world? Everything in the world has karma, there is a normal reason, their fate has been arranged in heaven, you and I only need to save people, why bother with others?" Master Enlightenment clasped his hands together and smiled.

"Master, the woman is pregnant, I didn't see it at all. I'm sorry, master, I said the wrong thing. Quit Se bowed his head and apologized.

"Remember that when we are monks do good deeds, we don't ask anything else, saving others means saving ourselves, and saving others means saving ourselves, all in the compassion and wisdom of the Buddha. Amitabha!" Master Enlightenment smiled slightly.

"Thank you, master, I understand. Jie Se clasped his hands together and said.

"Quit resentment, have you sent all the magic weapons that I asked you to prepare to do things to Qingshui Temple? The presiding officer of that small temple is alone, old and frail, and we can't trouble his old man when we come to the capital this time to do things. Enlightenment glanced back at the abstinence.

"Master, the Buddhist shop in the capital sent me a book, saying that all the Dharma utensils we bought have been sent over, don't worry. Quit Anger slowly replied.

"That's good, I hope this time I can drive out this red dragon that appeared in the capital of the Han Kingdom. Amitabha!" said Master Enlightenment.

Master Wujue took the four novices to the Qingshui Temple, the temple door was hidden, and the Jiese knocked on the door and asked, "Is there anyone?", but no one answered, and everyone pushed the door in. A statue of Buddha sits proudly in the Qingshui Temple, there is a huge hole in one wall, and it is also dilapidated all around, the eaves and beams are covered with cobwebs, and the table is full of dust, and no one has cleaned it for a long time. "May I ask anyone?" Jie Se still shouted after entering the door, Master Wujue wiped the dust on the table with his fingers, and was wondering if his Wuneng junior brother was not in the temple, when a gray-haired, hobbled old monk knocked on the floor with a cane, leaned against the wall and walked from behind the temple, and asked, "Who is it?"

Master Wujue smiled and said, "Amitabha! Senior Brother Wuneng, I haven't seen you for a long time!

"Amitabha, brother, how are you doing?" Master Wu Neng followed the sound of a cane in his hand, and it turned out that he had already lost his sight.

"Senior brother, your eyes ...... What's going on? When did you become blind?" Master Wujue hurriedly flew over and helped Master Wuneng to sit down on the stone bench.

"Senior brother, it's hard to see at a glance! I have been here for four or five years in this small temple in the Han Kingdom, and the Han Kingdom has always been peaceful. Suddenly, one day, dark clouds were thick, lightning and thunder roared, and a red dragon called for wind and rain outside the capital, and wanted to make trouble. I saw, immediately in the temple to burn incense and candles, open the altar, want to use the demon pestle to collect it, did not expect this evil dragon is not an ordinary spirit, it is very skillful, a few rounds of fighting, I was blinded by the claws of the evil dragon, it swept me into the temple with a tail, smashed down a wall in the temple. My skills are not as good as others, I should have died, alas, thinking that the people around me who are seeking solutions and repaying their wishes are unwilling to die, so I used the Turtle Breath Dafa to stop breathing and deceive the evil dragon, so I was able to save my life, and I have survived to this day. Master Wuneng patted his thigh and sighed.

"Amitabha, junior brother, where are you talking about this? Don't blame yourself, you have justice in your heart, and you want to kill demons and eliminate demons. Rest well, leave it to me. I have also heard about the Red Dragon of the Han Kingdom, don't worry, I came here this time to open the altar to exorcise the evil dragon. Master Wujue held Master Wuneng's hands and said solemnly, "Where are the magic weapons?"

"There is hope when the senior brother comes, and the magic weapons sent by a group of people two days ago are all placed in the firewood room at the back. Master Wuneng said, raising his cane and pointing behind him, a smile on his face.

"Jiese, you and Jiexu go to help Senior Brother Wuneng clean up the temple and clean it on all sides. Quit resentment, you and Jiekong go to the firewood room to get the ritual utensils and set up the altar. We're here to neutralize this dragon this time. The Master of Enlightenment looked into the distance.

"Yes, master!" said the four novices, and went about their work.

Jiekong and Jiekong were arranging the altar, Jiekong successively brought incense burners, incense candles, charms, flints and some tofu from the firewood room, seeing Jieqi piling up tofu on the plate, he reached out and grabbed a piece of tofu, and asked curiously: "Senior brother, isn't it a waste that this tofu that is as white as jade and full of elasticity, delicate taste, and so high nutritional value is placed on the altar?"

When Jiekong was about to eat the piece of tofu in his hand, he was stopped by Jieyi, who smiled and said, "Senior brother, this tofu can't be eaten, this is a ghost food with a spell, specially used to lure that evil dragon." ”

"Ahh Phew!" Jiekong hurriedly put the piece of tofu back, wiped the finger that had taken the tofu on the folds of his clothes, and spat at it, afraid that this bad luck would provoke him.

"Haha...... This time, I know what it means to be a curse from the mouth. Ring sneered.

"Amitabha!" "Master Enlightenment glanced at Quit Anger and Qu Kong, and said with a faint smile.

After a while, the altar was arranged, and the master of enlightenment was wearing a golden robe, holding a purple gold bowl in his left hand, burning some scripture runes in it, and holding a vajra demon pestle in his right hand, chanting magic spells, exorcism spells, and stopping magic spells in his mouth, and the sky gradually darkened. "Hum, Banza Amida, Roll Zali, Hanahana, Woo. "Resounding in the sky.

In the palace of the Han Kingdom, Xiao Suzi poured a cup of tea for the emperor and waited for Xiaoyaozi, who was developing and writing calligraphy. Suddenly, a little eunuch outside the door reported that Xiao Suzi came back and smiled happily after asking in the past: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" The Bao family's mansion was destroyed by a fire last night, and all the books and manuals were reduced to ashes. Originally, the last trace of evidence that helped Bao Zhengming's family clarify their innocence was to rummage through the handwritten letters about Bao Wude in Bao Mansion to see if Bao Wude's handwriting was consistent with the handwriting on the wall of Yichun Courtyard. Unexpectedly, Baofu turned into a sea of fire overnight, and only a few snakes slipped out. There is no evidence of Bao Wude's death, and the handwriting cannot be identified, and the Bao family will definitely not be able to overturn the case. ”

"Hehe, I expected that. All this is thanks to the little five of the righteous girl. Xiaoyaozi picked up the pen and wrote seriously, and said with a smile.

"Xiao Wu?" Xiao Suzi suddenly shuddered, and then slurred, "However, Xiao Suzi has something unclear, I don't know if I should talk about it?"

"Hehe, I'm happy today! It's okay, just say anything! Forgive you for your innocence!" Xiaoyaozi put down the brush to practice calligraphy, looked at the heroic and unrestrained and wanton character "wild" on the table, and smiled.

"Your Majesty, the two generations of the Bao family have been loyal to the Liu family, why is the emperor still determined to execute them?"

"If it weren't for the Bao family helping Liu Shu frame me, he framed me for cheating in the examination room, which made me lose the trust of the Taifu and my father, and lost the throne, so I only traveled around the rivers and lakes for decades. You know my character, a gentleman will take revenge if he has revenge. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. When they framed me in the past, they may have forgotten themselves, but when I was practicing swordsmanship outside, I never forgot their words and deeds in the past. The past is not to be mentioned, and since they are all dead, this is the end of the matter. Xiaoyaozi looked at the cloudy sky outside, a little panicked.

Xiao Suzi understood. ”

"Stand down, I want to be quiet. Xiaoyaozi said and sent Xiao Suzi and the palace maid out of the dormitory and closed the door.

At this time, the Chixiao sword hanging on the wall slammed, and a red light flew out of the scabbard, turning into a red dragon, the red dragon coiled in the air, put the dragon's head towards Xiaoyaozi, swam the dragon whiskers and said: "My emperor, the general trend of the world has long been a foregone conclusion, your enemy has died, everything is as predicted in the endorsement." Are you happy?"

"What is the push endorsement? Is it written by the massage technicians? What else does the push endorsement say? If there is chaos today, what will happen to our Han Kingdom in the future?" Xiaoyaozi knelt down and asked.

"How do you think of massaging those? Tui endorsement originated in the Tang Dynasty, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong Li Shimin ordered the famous astronomer, mathematician, Yi scholar Li Chunfeng and a generation of physiognomy master Yuan Tiangang to calculate the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, because Li Chunfeng deduced into the gods, out of control, actually calculated the fate of China after the Tang Dynasty for more than 2,000 years, until Yuan Tiangang pushed his back and said: "Thousands of thousands of words are inexhaustible, it is better to push the back to rest", known as the first strange book of Chinese prophecy "Tui Bei Tu" is named after this. There are a total of 60 images in Tui Bei Tu, each with a proverb and a poem called "Ode to Song", which has been deduced from the Tang Dynasty to the future world of Datong, and has become more mysterious because of its more accurate deduction of world events. ”

"Is it? really that amazing this book?" said Xiaoyaozi laughed as he got up.

"Of course, more than that. Yes, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, asked Li Chunfeng, the supervisor of Qintian, about the national Zuo of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chunfeng launched "After the third Tang Dynasty, the heroine Wuwang has the world", and in the third image of "Push Endorsement", "The prophecy says: The sun and the moon are in the sky, and they shine on the earth." Confusing, uncivilized and martial. Song said: Visiting the empty king is empty, and once re-entered the imperial palace. The roots of the branches are still there, and the chicken is male. Li Chunfeng couldn't help but be shocked, and continued to push down, pushing so much that he went crazy, until his old friend Yuan Tiangang slapped him on the back, Li Chunfeng woke up, stopped calculating, and at this moment just launched sixty elephants. After Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, outstanding emperors such as Wu Zetian, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhu Yuanzhang can all be seated in the book. The red dragon laughed.

"Then do you have this book in your hand? If there is chaos today, and the heroes are everywhere, I would like to see what the fate of our Han Kingdom is. Xiaoyaozi smiled.

"I've been in the dust for thousands of years, how can I know the whereabouts of such strange books! You haven't been in Taoism for decades, you put on a dragon robe and ride on my back, I'm going to meet a stalker bald donkey, and take you to listen to the Buddhist Avenue by the way!" Chilong smiled.

"Okay!" With that, Xiaoyaozi put on the dragon robe in the dormitory, jumped onto the back of the red dragon, flew out of the window on the roof, and flew straight to the Qingshui Temple.

"Master, master, look, that evil dragon has appeared!" From time to time, looking at the dark sky with lightning and thunder, he saw the red dragon flying over the Qingshui Temple, and he was a little happy, put down the duster that was cleaning the dust, ran to the side of the master of enlightenment, pointed to the sky above his head and shouted, and several other senior brothers also hurriedly gathered around the master of enlightenment in a panic.

The red dragon flicked its long tail and exhaled at the Master of Enlightenment, as if a hurricane had hit, and several small novices were almost blown down by the wind. The red dragon's stomach was clearly extinguished, and there was a fire walking up and down, and the darkness became clearer, and the red dragon swam slowly and leisurely, and said lightly: "Old monk, you see that I am the current emperor of the Han Kingdom." I inherit the grace of heaven, restore the etiquette of the Han Kingdom, and reduce the killing of the world. Last time you provoked me, I read that you are a monk and have kindness to the Three Realms, so I spared you from dying, why are you stubborn and have to regenerate obstacles?!"

The Master of Enlightenment clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! Where did you come from and where should you go back?

"Old monk, since you know who I am, you must have heard of my awesomeness, why don't you hurry up and leave? Do you have to force me to kill?" The red dragon was furious, and the fire in his belly became brighter and brighter, like an active volcano about to erupt.

"Amitabha! My Buddha is compassionate, and with compassion he melts all the demons in the Three Realms, and touches all the demons in the Three Realms with compassion. If there is a demon that has not attained Buddhahood, I will never be enlightened here! If there is a demon that has not attained enlightenment, I will not become enlightened!"

"Old bald donkey, where did you get so much nonsense!" the red dragon shouted.

"Even the city, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground! Don't be miserable again!" Master Enlightenment sat cross-legged with his hands together.

"Then let it all end here!" After that, the red dragon opened his mouth, and a ball of flames erupted from his mouth, it swam left and right, and the flames burned everywhere, and soon every corner of the Qingshui Temple was on fire, and the smoke was billowing out. The Master of Enlightenment muttered the mantra "Hum, Banza Amida, Roll Zali, Hanahana, Woo." "Put the two ignited spells on the Vajra Demon Pestle, the Vajra Demon Pestle quickly rotated, and in the high-speed rotation, it became bigger and longer, and finally turned into a golden pestle more than two meters long, and the golden light turned into a wishful golden hoop stick.

"Hum, Banza Amida, Roll Zali, Hanahana, Woo...... This is the compassion of fighting to defeat the Buddha!" The enlightened master said, and those golden and dense Ruyi golden hoop sticks surrounded the red dragon and beat them up and down, left and right, and the beams of flames burned the ruyi golden hoop sticks red, and the flames flew in all directions. The red dragon opened its teeth and claws and the dense Ruyi golden hoop sticks hit hotly, a burst of clanging, the red dragon was beaten left and right, up and down, Xiaoyaozi also staggered and fell from its back, the red dragon was as fast as lightning, dense Ruyi golden hoop stick hit without the power to fight back, and finally shrunk into a red ball, flying out of the stick array.

"The master spares his life, the master spares his life! It's the red dragon that wants to bring me over to meet you, and I don't know how there can be such a red dragon in my sword. All along, I've been subject to its obscenity. It's very helpless!" Xiaoyaozi got up from the ground, burst into tears, and panicked.

"Amitabha! Everything is the reincarnation of cause and effect! This book "Tui Bei Tu" is given to you, which contains everything you need to know. Let's go!" Master Wujue took out a copy of "Tui Bei Tu" from his bosom and handed it to Xiaoyaozi.

"Push endorsement? I'm about to look for it! Thank you, master! Thank you, master!" Xiaoyaozi took the "Push Endorsement" and ran towards the imperial city in a panic. Looking at the burning Qingshui Temple, Master Wujue decided to take his junior brother back to Shaolin Temple to spend his old age in peace, and the group of six people also disappeared into the sunset of the Han Kingdom.

Xiaoyaozi hurried back to the Han Kingdom with "Tui Bei Tu", took Xiao Suzi into the vast royal library - Wenyuan Pavilion, and told Xiao Suzi: "Today you must find some ancient books about "Tui Bei Tu", it is very important. ”

"Obey, Emperor!" After that, Xiao Suzi carefully flipped through the book catalog in the Wenyuan Pavilion, and finally read all the catalogs and did not find a book about "Tui Bei Tu", but accidentally found a nameless book, opened it and looked, the first page is: "Tui Bei Tu", "Qiankun Wannian Song", "Baked Cake Song", "Ma Qian Lesson", "Plum Blossom Poem", "Tibetan Head Poem", "Huang Tiller Zen Master Poem" is China's seven major prophecy books, and the seven major prophecy books are headed by "Tui Bei Tu", "Tui Bei Tu" is a well-deserved Chinese first prophetic book. "Tui Bei Tu" is easy to learn, poetry, and riddles are highly combined, and the "four-in-one" method is used to set up a mystery that is extremely hidden.

"Your Majesty, look!" Xiao Suzi handed the nameless book to Xiaoyaozi, Xiaoyaozi was overjoyed, and when he turned it back, he found that there were blank pages behind it.

"Hehe, it turns out that this nameless book is a guide, maybe the heavenly machine has nothing to do with me. I was hoping to find some interpretation of "Tui Bei Tu" in Wenyuan Pavilion. This matter is a matter of heaven, the less people know about it, the better, I didn't want more people to know about it, and there is no other way now, you quickly summon the squire of the Criminal Department An Daoqi to come to the imperial study to meet you. I heard from the imperial brother in the past that it is easy to learn from the study of the Anjia era, and I should be able to understand the "Tui Bei Tu" in my hand. Xiaoyaozi said impatiently.

An Daoqi rushed to the imperial study, and after meeting Xiaoyaozi, he flipped through the "Push Back Map" in Xiaoyaozi's hand. Xiaoyaozi hurriedly pointed to the poem in Yiwei Nian and asked, "Aiqing, what do you think this means?"

Prophecy

The horse jumps in the north and the dog roars in the west

Eight or nine counts, the sun and the moon have no light

Ode said

Yang Hua fell and plum flowers remained

The five-color flag came from the north

The king of Taixi Jinling was exhausted

A branch of spring occupies Chang'an

After reading it, An Daoqi thought for a long time, looked at the sky and said: "Emperor Qiqi, this elephant lord Li Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong disturbed the Central Plains, Chongzhen threw himself around Meishan, and King Fu died soon after. The last sentence of the ode seems to refer to Hu Hou, which has a deep meaning. It should be a metaphor for Li Zicheng to extinguish the Ming. ”

"Li Zicheng destroyed the Ming Dynasty, what about our Han Kingdom?" Xiaoyaozi hurriedly asked, looking a little flustered.

"Han didn't mention it, it should be ......" An Daoqi didn't dare to continue.

"Let's see what the poem means?" Xiaoyaozi said, pointing to the next picture.

Prophecy

The water of the Yellow River is clean and the air is in order

There is no distinction between the host and the guest, and there is no child

Ode said

The sky is long and the white waterfall is coming

Hu is not popular

The feudal division was withdrawn from many places

The childish is half pathetic

After reading it, An Daoqi pinched his fingers and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this image is the march of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The anti-customer is also a matter of anger, and it is not human power that can be recovered. Liaojin and then the Hu people are the two lords of the Central Plains, and the Huanghuang Han people are not ashamed of it. ”

Xiaoyaozi, who originally had a glimmer of hope for the next picture and text, was completely desperate, and he asked weakly: "Aiqing, do you know where this Li Zicheng came from? Tell me about him." ”

"Emperor Qi, this Li Zicheng is known as King Chuang. Nine years ago, this Li Zicheng ushered in the first career peak in his life, this year he and his subordinates Liu Zongmin, Luo Rucai and others joined forces of more than 20 thousand, known as the three-headed monster, once broke Daning, Zezhou, Shouyang and other cities, the momentum was great. After Luo Rucai left, the three-headed monster fell apart, Li Zicheng's troops fought unfavorably with the Ming army, and when they were most depressed, they were suppressed by the official army to only 17 remnants and hid in the Shangluo Mountains in the southeast of Shaanxi. After several years of sinking, Li Zicheng learned from the pain and decided to find other rebel generals to join forces to confront the imperial court. Two years ago, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Tianlin and others joined forces together, defeated the Ming army in the Battle of Ruzhou, and completely annihilated Sun Chuanting's main force. According to the meaning of "Push Back Map", Li Zicheng will be extinguished next year. Anducci said.

"I see. I see, stand down. I want to be quiet. Xiaoyaozi said, and An Daoqi and Xiao Suzi stepped back. Xiaoyaozi sat alone on the chair in the imperial study, holding the book "Pushing Back Pictures" in his hand in a daze. At that moment, Xiaoyaozi felt as if his previous efforts had been in vain, and his life suddenly saw an ending without an ending, and he felt panic and a trace of despair in his heart.

"Lord An, you should forget about today's incident when you walk out of the palace. Don't let a fourth person know. Xiao Suzi admonished.

"Father-in-law, don't worry. I understand. Andolphe said, stepping back.
