Chapter 49: The World Is Like a Prison

After Chu Hao and the four of them followed the two jailers into the prison, they saw that both sides were separated by round logs the thickness of their wrists.

"My lord! My lord! I'm not a big thief Zhang San! ”

"You guys caught the wrong person, my name is Xu Zhiyuan, not Zhou Yabing!"

"I beg the two adults to let me live, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, please be merciful!"

As if they couldn't hear these screams, the two jailers nodded and led the way for Chu Hao.

Finally, he went to a cell, unchained him from his waist, knocked on the wood, and cried out, "Old man, old man! Don't sleep, someone is visiting you! ”

The other jailer unchained the chain, and by the way, helped push open the cell door, and said with a flattering smile: "If you have any other orders, just shout, and our brothers will be guarding outside." ”

After Cao Zhengchun took out a tael of silver from his bosom and sent them away, he and the Tonghuang sisters guarded the prison door.

Zhuge Wolong brushed away the messy hair blocking his eyes with both hands, and after looking at Chu Hao, who was dignified and extraordinary, walked in, he asked, "This son, do we know each other?" ”

Chu Hao smelled the damp and foul smell in the cell, shook his head slightly, and said, "You don't know me, but I know you." ”

Zhuge Wolong seemed to think of something, lowered his head and took out a brush from his arms, sipped the tip of the pen in his mouth, grinned his blackened lips, and said, "Say, where are you going to let me sign my name?" ”

Chu Hao was stunned when he saw this, and said in amazement: "You want to sign for me?" ”

Zhuge Wolong looked even more stunned than him, "Why, didn't you come in and ask me to sign for you?" ”

Chu Hao smiled and said: "Naturally not, I heard your name for a long time, and I came to see you today and wanted to chat with you." ”

Zhuge Wolong glanced him up and down, put the brush back into his arms in amazement, sat down on the spot, lay on his side on the damp haystack, and said lazily: "What is there to talk about?" You and I both have the same head, and the difference between the two of us is only in the question of how many books we read. ”

"If you have this spare time, you might as well go home and read books for decades, and then you will naturally know everything."

Chu Hao glanced at him, then looked at the hay under his feet, simply sat cross-legged on the ground, hugged his fists and said: "Don't hide it from my predecessors, although I have a lot of books in my family, I don't have time to read them." ”

Zhuge Wolong made a slurping sound, and he didn't even bother to say a word.

Chu Hao was silent for a few breaths and asked, "Dare to ask your seniors, have you ever heard of the term 'Five Turbidity Evil Worlds'?" ”

When Zhuge Wolong heard this, he immediately turned over and sat up, staring at Chu Hao with his eyes.

After half a ring, he slowly spoke: "The so-called five turbidities have nine sources, one of which is the 'Sariputta' in the Lotus Sutra! The Buddhas come out of the five turbid and evil worlds, the so-called turbidity of calamity, turbidity of afflictions, turbidity of sentient beings, turbidity of seeing, and turbidity of life. Such is Sariputta! ’”

"'When there is turbidity and chaos, sentient beings are heavy, greedy and jealous, and the root causes of all unwholesomeness are achieved, and the Buddhas use their convenience and power to say three things separately in one Buddha's vehicle.'" ”

"The second is the twelfth volume of the Kusha Treatise."

"The third is "Fahua Xuanzan"."

"Fourth, it is the "Lotus Chinese Sentences".

"The fifth is the Lotus Theory."

"The sixth is the "Theory of Ten Places".

"The seventh is the Peni Sutra."

"The eighth is the Sutra of the Great Sazani Ganzi."

"The ninth is "Fayuan Zhulin"."

At this, a gleam suddenly appeared in his cloudy eyes.

"Do you know something?"

Chu Hao asked rhetorically: "The predecessors have read so many scriptures, haven't they guessed it?" ”

Zhuge Wolong smiled, stretched out his hand and nodded to the ground, and said, "Don't guess, these scriptures have already been explained." When the five turbidities come, hell will be empty, and this world will be the new hell. ”

When he said this, he stopped, looked around, and sighed: "The evil ghost is in charge, this mortal, since he was born, he has been in prison. ”

After saying that, he looked at Chu Hao with both eyes, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and he said meaningfully: "The Buddha said: The Buddhas come from the five turbid evil worlds. In other words, although this world is the world of evil ghosts, on the heads of evil ghosts, there are Buddhas. ”

Chu Hao looked at him deeply and said softly, "Do you mean 'Pudu Cihang'?" ”

Zhuge Wolong's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he smiled: "As soon as you came in, I could see that you were not an ordinary person, sure enough." ”

Chu Hao smiled and said, "Can the senior guess who I am?" ”

Zhuge Wolong shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't guess, the old man guarding the door has a white face and is used to bowing when he walks." There is only one place in the world where there will be such people. So you who are accompanied by him, do you still need to guess your identity? ”

Chu Hao's eyes were full of appreciation, and he said, "Dare to ask Mr., are you willing to get out of prison?" ”

Zhuge Wolong stretched his waist and lay back, the whole person was smashed in the weeds, and said lazily: "A person like me is only suitable for staying in prison, and the outside world is not interesting at all." ”

"My ancestors had no vision, so I was knowledgeable and let me write books for generations to come...... Who knows, when I write a travelogue, they say that I leak secrets, write history and say that I use the past to satirize the present, annotate the art of war, say that I incite rebellion, write stories about gods and monsters, and say that I lead people to superstition, and finally rewrite the biographies of celebrities, and the result is ...... Hey, this celebrity was arrested and said it was embezzling military salaries. ”

"No, the Zhuge family has been implicated."

"My dad was sentenced to life in prison and eventually died of illness in prison."

"They didn't know what crime to use to betray me, so they found the book I had written before, and punished me for several crimes, no, I also ended up in prison for life."

Speaking of this, he suddenly sat up again, looked at Chu Hao with a smile, and asked, "What do you think I am going out to do in such a world?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he spread out his hands and picked up the chains fixed to his hands.

"What's more, the world is like a prison, what's the difference between the outside and the inside?"

Chu Hao looked at him deeply and said in a deep voice: "I will rehabilitate your family." ”

Zhuge Wolong hugged his fist and saluted him, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency has a heart, but I am fifty-six this year, and I don't have a few years to live. ”

Chu Hao nodded lightly and asked, "I heard that the seniors also have a cousin named Zhuge Liang, and he seems to be the year of establishment this year?" ”

Zhuge Wolong's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said: "Even if I go out, I won't be able to live for a few years, you know the reason!" ”

Chu Hao smiled and said, "There is no need to worry about this, as long as I don't let you die, my predecessors can't die even if they want to." What's more, since I can get you out of prison today, I can naturally do it tomorrow. ”

After Zhuge Wolong heard this, he didn't show a look of belief, but he didn't show a look of disbelief, he just smiled freely.

"In that case, the old decay will wait and see...... Hopefully, there really will be a day. ”

Chu Hao got up slowly, hugged his fists and said, "In this way, please ask Mr. in the future." ”

Seeing this, Zhuge Wolong sighed helplessly.

Then the laziness on his face was dispersed, and the whole person changed from a sitting posture to a kneeling position, and said in a deep voice: "Minister, I will do my best in the future!" ”
