Chapter Forty-Eight: Sickness Is Not Sickness

readx;? In the house behind a temple in the eastern district of the mud city, the once beautiful living Buddha Kurban was lying on the couch sickly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

His face was sallow and lifeless, and his once fat and sturdy body was now skinny and boneless, and if it weren't for the slight heaving of his chest, he might have been thought to be a lifeless corpse.

Kurban's side only has a little apprentice named Kishizo to serve, since the defeat to the star faction Ding Xuan, he has long lost the past scenery, prestige plummeted, after Kurban fell ill, many believers and disciples suddenly scattered, only a few loyal apprentices were left to serve, otherwise Kurban, who had no one to take care of, would have already returned to the west.

But Kurban's situation is not optimistic, his illness is very strange, extremely violent, but a few days the once strong body has completely crossed, everyone has searched for the famous doctors in the city are helpless, two days ago Kurban fell into a prolonged coma, and it seems that it will not work.

The disciples who were still insisting secretly ran away with two more, and to this day, only Kishizo and the other two are still loyally staying by Kurban's side, but they are also doing their best to obey the fate of heaven, and they don't have much hope in their hearts.

Kishizo looked at the unconscious Kurban, his face was sad and sad, although this master was short-tempered, he was never thin on the people around him, if it wasn't for Kurban to put himself in the temple, he would probably have died of exhaustion in the mine outside the city.

Kishizo was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard the voice of another little friend, Zado, outside the door, and Zado's voice was respectful and nervous.

"Buddha, my master is inside, please!"

Kishizo frowned, what the hell is this Zaduo doing, knowing that the master is seriously ill, he still has to bring someone over to disturb him.

He hurriedly got up, and before he could reach the door, the door had already been opened, and Zado carefully served an elderly monk in a big red robe and walked in, and Kishizo was taken aback at a glance, this was a big man.

As mentioned earlier, Kurban was not a true living Buddha, he was born in the Sakya sect, and was later expelled by the Sakya sect for violating the precepts, and he was stripped of his monastic title. However, this monk grew up in the temple since he was a child, in fact, both psychologically and physically, he has been imprinted with the heavy traces of the Sakya sect, so after the Loulan traces, whether it is acting on weekdays or teaching believers and disciples, in fact, he is still the Sakya sect that practices, so as a disciple of Kurban, the little monk Kishizo is very familiar with the rituals of the Sakya sect.

Sakya Buddhism has a very strict hierarchy, from the highest living Buddha to the lowest level of ordinary monks are divided into thirteen branch system, that is, thirteen status levels, so how to distinguish the status of high and low, between monks who do not know, mainly through clothing.

There are three main types, namely "duga" (kan shoulder), "shamut" (monk's skirt) and "chasan" (robe). In terms of robes, in addition to respecting different fabrics and styles, they are also divided into more recognizable colors, with light red as the base, dark red as the top, and red as the respect, and the old monk in front of him is wearing a big red robe, and the rank is at least above O level can be owned by the great lama.

Seeing that he was wearing a pandita hat on his head, the color was golden, and there was a high spire in the center of the hat, which symbolized the supreme righteousness of the Dharma.

Master Kurban judged the past of the Sakya Sect, although Kishizo and Zado did not know, but they knew that the Master and the Sakya Sect did not deal with each other, so they were very nervous and panicked.

Fortunately, at this time, a beautiful voice eased their emotions, and they only heard a voice as clean as the snow of the Tianshan Mountains say: "Kishizo, what's wrong with your master, isn't it good for me to be okay before leaving?"

Kishizo looked up, and behind Zaduo and the red-clothed lama, another person walked in, it was none other than Ayiguli, the Kangju witch doctor he had met before.

Kishizo squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "...... Miss Guli, it's so nice to see you, please save Master......"

The red-clothed old monk showed a kind smile and said softly, "Don't be afraid, go in and talk about it." ”

Kishizo and Zaduo glanced at each other, swallowed their saliva, bowed to the red-clothed lama and said, "Buddha, please come in." ”

Several people entered the house, Ayiguli walked quickly to Kurban, took out a few small tools and carefully diagnosed Kurban's body, half loud, and said in confusion: "Strange, he is not poisoned, I thought he was poisoned before." ”

The old monk in red asked, "Why do you think so?"

Ayiguli said: "Master Karma, I won't hide it from you, last time I was invited by Kurban to deal with one of his enemies, but unfortunately, I was defeated by the other party, and he easily dissolved my mixed poison, so I suspect that the other party must be a great expert in using poison." This time, as soon as I heard that Kurban suddenly fell ill, I suspected that the other party was doing it, but after the diagnosis just now, there was no toxin in Kurban's body, so my previous judgment was wrong. ”

The old monk in red stepped forward, his broad palm was placed directly above the chest of Kurban, who was lying on his chest, and at a distance of about half a foot, Kurban's originally slightly undulating chest was pulled by an inexplicable force, like a bulging bellows, and his originally sallow face began to have a little blood, as if it was poured into a huge vitality out of thin air.

After about sixty breaths, the old monk in red withdrew his palm, Kurban's surging chest suffocated again, and his face returned to sallow, but his eyes rolled, and he finally opened his eyes slowly after a few days in a coma.

"Ah...... Karma-sensei, why...... Why are you here, I ...... Is it already dead?" Kurban said intermittently.

The old monk Karma said with a serious face: "No, you are still alive, I was ordered by the Living Buddha to take you back and ask for your guilt." ”

A look of remembrance flashed on Kurban's face, and he said in a low voice: "Okay, I'...... It's ...... to wait for this day It's been a long time, I'm ...... A sinner, full of sins, if ...... Can you ...... before you die To be able to return to the sect, I, my heart's desire...... Also finished ......"

The old monk Karma's eyebrows trembled, he was moved with compassion, and comforted him warmly: "You won't die, as long as you return to the sect, the living Buddha has the power to cure your illness, don't worry." ”

Kurban shook his head bitterly: "No, the mana of the Living Buddha is...... To bring glory to the sect, not to govern ...... Cure sinners like me. I...... These days are often ...... Caught in a hallucination, that's ...... A misty space, full of confessions...... I know...... It is the Buddha that is calling itself, but ...... Is this sin of my body ...... Will it be possible to return to ...... Return to the Buddha's embrace?"

The old monk Karma recited the Buddha's name and said, "Naturally, you are a disciple of the Buddha, even if you have sinful karma, as long as you sincerely repent, the Buddha will forgive you." Rest well and don't think about it too much. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his palm and spun around the door of Kurban, and Kurban fell into a deep sleep.

Ayiguli exclaimed, "I have long heard that the power of Vishnu of the Sakya sect has supreme Buddhism, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation. Master Karma, is there a cure for Kurban's illness?"

Kishizo and Zado also hurriedly pricked up their ears and looked at the old monk nervously.

Master Karma's face was calm, and he said slowly: "There is no way, because his root knot is not sick, he is not sick. ”

The three of them were taken aback, and the small characters of Kishizo and Zaduo had no right to speak, so they had to look at Ayiguli anxiously and asked: "What does the master mean by this, Kurban is neither poisoned nor sick, how can he suddenly fall into bed?"

The old monk Karma shook his head, and there was confusion in his eyes: "He seems to be sick but not sick, but after careful examination of the body, there is no root cause of the disease, the old monk suspects that he has fallen into the plot of others, and the old monk has no choice but to send him back to the sect and ask the living Buddha to help." ”

"It must be him!" Ayiguli was always wearing a white veil, and she couldn't see her expression, but she could hear a trace of hatred from her voice: "It's the Han man from the Central Plains who fights with Kurban, this person can not only break my poison, but also plot against Kurban without a shadow, he must be a very powerful character." ”

She still remembers that Ding Peng ruined his veil with poisonous wine, Kangju witch doctor rarely makes a move among the people, and once she makes a move, she will definitely be invincible, but only last time she was completely defeated by Ding Peng, it was really shameless.

Master Karma stared at him and said slowly: "Who is this person and where is he now, the old monk is interested in meeting him!"

............

Ten days after the envoy of the Dayue clan was assassinated, Ding Peng swaggered into the mud city.

The follow-up turmoil is still fermenting, but Ding Peng is already light, no matter how much trouble and trouble is left for Yu Shi to have a headache, he entered the city this time, one is to appease his two disciples, and the other is to drink at the invitation of Dian Cangshuang.

It is said that the prime minister was very busy these days, dealing with the king's questioning on the one hand, and dealing with diplomatic negotiations from the Otsutsuki clan on the other hand, and at the same time finding out the cause of the death of the envoy and the arrest of the murderer.

However, according to Lao Zhao and Wang Hao'er's report, Yu Shi has made good progress on the most important matter, he has reached a consensus with the king, and is ready to use gold and silver to resolve the anger of the Dayue clan, which has been done before, no matter which party's fault, Loulan's interests must be abandoned, and I hope that this time it can also be resolved peacefully.

Ding Peng didn't care too much about harming Loulan's interests, all he wanted was time and a stable environment, as long as Loulan didn't fall into war and could continue to supply him with resources, then it didn't hurt for King Loulan to sell more interests.

Ding Peng didn't regard Loulan as his own meal, because his vision has now gone further, a small Loulan can't satisfy his appetite, once Loulan's resources can't be supplied, he will definitely use the brains of other countries in the Western Regions.

Because the situation is still relatively tense, the place where Diancang Shuangsha invited guests was chosen in a more private place, which was a house secretly arranged by Shuangsha in the city, the location was quiet, and the environment was quiet, which was very suitable for secret talks.

During the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and now they want to take refuge in the prime minister, so they naturally want to try their best to tie up the celebrity in front of the prime minister-Ding Xuan, and Ding Peng also intends to win over Shuangsha, not to mention anything else, these two old guys are more familiar with the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, and they will definitely be useful in the future.

What's even more coincidental is that the three of them are all aliens who were expelled from the Central Plains, and they themselves have a feeling of sympathy for each other.

When the wine was half-drunk, Ding Peng's heart moved, and he asked a question that he had wanted to ask for a long time: "There is a guy named Blood Lotus Ancestor, who is also said to be in the Western Regions, have you ever heard of it?"

Shuangsha was taken aback, and Duan Qiushi asked, "Why did Brother Ding mention this demon, could it be that he had an entanglement with his subordinates?"

Ding Peng naturally asked for the girl in white, the girl in white followed Xiang Hu and others in high hats that day, it was said that it was to investigate the traces of the Blood Lotus Ancestor, but Xiang Hu Jue, the last fierce fight, although Xiang Hu was defeated, but it is estimated that the situation of the Blood Lotus Ancestor was not investigated, but Ding Peng, who was present, wrote down this somewhat arrogant name.

Moreover, according to the reasoning, Xiang Hu Habitu and others must have a close relationship with the Blood Lotus Ancestor, even if they are not disciples, they are familiar people, and now Ding Peng will kill them all, although it is kept secret for the time being, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, if the Blood Lotus Ancestor knows the truth one day, he will definitely come to find trouble, so whether it is for the girl in white or for himself, Ding Peng also needs to know the details of this opponent in advance, know himself and the enemy, and not slack off in a hundred battles.

Ding Peng is a rookie in the rivers and lakes, and he has a doppelganger of conduct, but he has never heard of the name of the Blood Lotus Ancestor, so he can only ask the old rivers and lakes to be a little shuangsha.

Sure enough, Shuangsha knew the details, Duan Qiushi was shocked, and urgently asked Ding Peng if there was a conflict with the other party, so that Ding Peng was immediately alert that this ancestor might not be easy to deal with, so he immediately changed his original rhetoric and said with a smile: "It's not a festival, but I heard this name mentioned on the road last time, and it is said that it is very powerful in the Western Regions." ”

Shuangsha was obviously relieved, and Bu Tiandiao said: "It's best if there is no festival, that old thing of Blood Lotus is ruthless and ruthless, don't provoke him if you have anything to do." But when it comes to power, we don't have to worry, the old thief of the blood lotus has always been active in the extreme west, and rarely comes here, he takes his sunny road, let's cross our single-plank bridge, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. ”

Duan Qiushi also said: "Senior brother is right, it's best not to deal with such mad dog-like characters, that day, we ordered the Cang Sect to fall for others, and I believe that the Demon Sect has any integrity, but as a result, the sect was destroyed, and a group of fellow disciples fled here with countless casualties, hey." ”

Ding Peng saw that he was worried, toasted a glass of wine, and then asked, "The two elder brothers haven't said what kind of character this blood lotus is?"

Duan Qiushi took a sip of the wine in the cup, put the wine glass on the table, and spoke: "Such a crazy and inhuman person is naturally that murderous and vicious demon sect!"
