Chapter 13: The Escape

To be honest, Puzhao didn't expect that his identity would be revealed in the competition.

Puzhao is indeed Japanese, his parents died of illness, he was orphaned since he was a child, and has been practicing the law in the Beiyan Temple of the Wa Kingdom, and also learning Tang boxing and jiu-jitsu, the law name is Xiu Mo. His master, Venerable Wuzong, has a long-standing knot for China. Beiyan Temple is determined to introduce the Zen culture of Han Buddhism into the Wa Kingdom, so he went to China in vain. After arriving in China, he stayed in other small monasteries for a short time, and did not learn Chinese Buddhism and martial arts. In Lingguang Temple for ten years, the main energy is to study Zen Buddhism according to the will of the abbot Master Wuzong, especially to get the essence of the Lingguang Temple sect and go back to promote Buddhism, so he has been neglecting to practice martial arts. However, when he meditated, he carefully understood the boxing method and internal strength, and he also improved. He wanted to learn the Buddha's heart fist many times, but Mi Bu did not agree.

In this way, I had to go. Pu Zhao walked over the wall in the middle of the night. At that time, the monks outside the main hall were all tired and fell asleep.

Leaving the monastery, he also had deeper considerations.

Master Mibu left the monastery, the treasure disappeared, and he did not return for more than a year, perhaps the master had already noticed his identity, just in case, but not to break it. Zhixin is familiar with boxing techniques and is easy to detect changes in boxing. After the competition, his identity was questioned, and he was also worried, knowing the status of the people of the United States in the hearts of the Chinese, and fearing that sooner or later he would be harmed. Over the years, he has studied most of the scriptures left by Lingguang Temple, and he has a deep understanding of Buddhism and can return, but it is a pity that he has not seen the imperial treasures.

Determined, he left a letter to his master and said goodbye.

Here's what it looks like:

Born in Japan, his parents died, and the abbot of Hokam Temple was a disciple and raised by his relatives. There are few diseases, loneliness, inseparability, and self-knowledge. The master died of illness, leaving a will, and taking the law from Huadi, if it is in vain, it must be condemned. In vain, he was ordered to gallop. Ten years of spiritual light, serving the master as his father. The teacher escapes the Dharma realm, and is pitiful in vain, and the treasure is powerless. competed with his brother, his identity was revealed, and he suddenly advanced and retreated, but he was actually embarrassed. All the dusty past, passing by the clouds, ten years of no success, all in vain, thanks to the benefactor, admired in the heart.

When Zhixin saw this letter, he felt very dazed. Puzhao lived in seclusion in the monastery for ten years, studied Buddhism deeply, peeped at the abbot, if it wasn't for his own competition to expose his true face, he would occupy an abbot one day, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

What he didn't understand even more was that Puzhao, as a Japanese person, came to Lingguang Temple? What did he want? What is the purpose of spying on the military intelligence in the temple? The letter indicated that it was entrusted by his master on his deathbed, what is the relationship between his master and Lingguang Temple? I'm afraid this was only known to the Yin Ming and Mibu mages back then.

From this point of view, no matter what, the discovery of the spy is also a great credit. If the master comes back, he will be the hero of the temple, and if he can't come back, Lingguang Temple will be his own master. When the time comes, in the name of the loss of the treasure, and then petition the emperor to give the treasure, Lingguang Temple and himself will be famous in history.

In order to hide people's eyes and ears and give the government an explanation, Zhixin still organized a group of monks, a group of five, to search the surrounding area for three days, but found nothing.

After three days and three nights, Zhixin hurried to the county seat to sue the official.

Zheng Xiao, the county commander, learned that Lingguang Temple had run away with monks, or Japanese people, thinking that the matter was important, and while reporting to the prefect's yamen, he sent people around to arrest him.

For a time, the county area was full of arrest notices.

Puzhao knew that Zhixin would report to the officials, and instead of being arrested and suffering in prison, it was better to flee back to the Japanese country. The official government yamen sent people to arrest people, and generally walked on the official road, and held the stuck points, waiting for the rabbit. Puzhao traveled day and night, through the forest, and soon arrived at the junction of Anwei and Jiangxi, from where he wanted to enter Zhejiang, and turn to Zhoushan to cross the sea.

After a month of this frightened day, Puzhao passed by Pan'an, which is not far from the rooftop, and has always been obsessed with Zen Buddhism, so he decided to go to the school, and by the way inquired about the master's dense news.

In order to prevent others from speculating, Puzhao took the name of a walking monk and rested temporarily in the Luoxi Dojo outside the Guoqing Temple. Luoxi was named after the founder of the Tiantai sect, the wise master, who released the snails. Luoxi Monastery was founded by Master Xi Lian, who was given the name "Master of Pure Light". Since the Song Dynasty Qiande two years, here once prosperous, the forest and spring are glorious, the golden splendor, for some reason, now the eaves of the temple are broken, the color wall falls off, only a few monks who do not give up, it is extremely difficult to guard the poor temple.

Puzhao listened to the master of Beiyan Temple Wuzong said that the five sects of the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Buddha and the law was chaotic, and the scriptures in the two major temples of Luoxi and Guoqing were lost, and many of them were obtained by the Wa State, and the scriptures of the Beiyan Temple were preserved, and Puzhao also saw it, and there was a seal of the library of the Luoxi Temple on the cover.

At night, he slept in Luoxi Temple, and in the morning he went to Guoqing Temple, and when the monk in charge of the temple asked, he told them that they were from Luoxi Missionary Institute. Others looked at him again, his clothes were tattered, his face was yellow and thin, and he was also a little sympathetic.

Because it was a neighboring monastery, the monks of Guoqing did not suspect him, so they let him listen to the teachings of Buddhism, provide fasting, and return to Luoxi Monastery in the evening.

After half a month like this, Puxin became acquainted with several monks, and one of them was extremely enthusiastic. Pu Zhao took the opportunity to inquire about Mibu's whereabouts, only to learn that the master had stayed for a few months and left, which made him extremely disappointed. It seems that it is impossible to see the master again, or to find out the imperial treasure.

He decided to leave early and return to the Wa Kingdom.

In the early morning of that day, Puzhao bid farewell to Luoxi and walked along the ravine. Suddenly, in the morning mist, more than a dozen officials appeared, blocking his way, regardless of the 3721 kidnapping him.

Pu Zhao was about to defend himself, and a person walked out behind the officer.

Ladies and gentlemen, it was this person who inquired about the whereabouts of the wanted criminals from the poor monks.

It turned out to be a monk of Guoqing Temple.

Pu Zhao was startled and trembled, this time it was completely planted in the hands of the villain.

It is said that the Tiantai Yamen arrested the suspect, thinking that he was with a dense accomplice, and first shackled him without asking about the indiscriminate situation, and then sent someone to Taizhou Mansion, and then transferred to Dali Temple.

Tiantai is known for the source of Buddhism, the beauty of the landscape, the birth of Jigong, the poetry of the Tang Dynasty, the travel of Xia guests, the seclusion of the cold mountain, Liu Ruan's encounter with immortals, the enlightenment of Xi, all from this, so there are many people who come and go, the road out of the mountain often meets travelers, and others cast strange eyes on the lock-up monks.

Puzhao also thought about escaping, but with iron shackles and heavy mountains, even if he had great ability, he couldn't do anything.

When he arrived at Taizhou Mansion, the preliminary interrogation, and the heavy sentence was imminent, Puzhao had to admit that he was a monk of Lingguang Temple, so as not to suffer from the love of flesh and skin. Coincidentally, the Taizhou government received an official letter from the political envoy Yamen, and if the monks of Lingguang Temple were arrested, they would be sent to Fulin County.

Fulin County is as far as Anhui, the road is difficult, very inconvenient, and the cost is huge. If Puzhao is for the rich gentry or a businessman, the expenses will naturally have a source, and the escort officials will also have a fast entry account, and they are willing to go on business trips. It's a pity that this is a poor monk, penniless, and the yamen is obviously a loss-making business.

There is an order on the peak, and it has to be sent.

Master came up with a new idea. The master is a condensed version of a modern think tank, sometimes producing high-quality products, sometimes taking out garbage. Today's idea is simply more stinky than a pit, but it is said to be the most cost-effective. That's a kill.

Although the prefect Bai also wants to save money, he knows the importance better. The emperor who was born as a monk, the ghost and the ghost, the spies are everywhere, if the news is leaked, it is a dead end, and I can't regret it. Thinking about it this way, it is better to send God at a loss.
