Chapter 524: Building a Buddha Hall

After Xi Yu proposed the news of the construction of the Buddhist hall, Ouyang Linlin was very grateful.

Ouyang Linlin held Xi Yu's hand and said gratefully, "Husband, thank you for your suggestion to build a Buddhist hall. It's a good deed."

Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Linlin gently and said, "Linlin, you and I are husband and wife, why bother to say thank you." I also proposed to build the Buddha Hall so that our people could be blessed by the Buddha and live a more peaceful and peaceful life. ”

Ouyang Linlin nodded, tears flashing in her eyes.

"I know that you have always cared about the well-being of your people. It's my blessing to have a husband like you. ”

Xi Yu gently stroked Ouyang Linlin's hair.

They just showed affection on the street, which made Xiaohong a little embarrassed, Xiaohong simply coughed, and Xi Yu quickly took her hand down.

Xi Yu said that it is better to start preparing to build a Buddhist hall now while the iron is hot. He asked Ouyang Linlin to go home with him, and then asked the soldiers to find a few monks to come over and discuss the construction of the Buddhist hall.

In fact, it's just a little bit of a renovation of a spare house, so I believe it can be completed in a few days.

Xi Yu asked the soldiers to quickly find a few monks to come over.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin sat at their desks, listening carefully to the suggestions of several senior monks.

An elderly monk said, "Your Majesty, you need to choose a suitable location to build a Buddhist hall. This location should be quiet and quiet, so that Lady Ouyang can concentrate on cultivation here. ”

Xi Yu nodded slightly and asked, "So, what should be paid attention to about the architectural style and decoration of the Buddha Hall?" ”

Another monk smiled and replied, "The architectural style and decoration of the temple should be in line with Buddhist teachings. We can use traditional Buddhist architectural elements such as cornices, cornices, carvings, etc., while Buddhist imagery such as lotus flowers, Buddha statues, etc., can be used in the decoration to create a solemn atmosphere. ”

Ouyang Linlin interjected: "I think we can plant some Bodhi trees around the Buddha hall to show respect for the Buddha. ”

The monks nodded in agreement.

Xi Yu got up, looked around the study, and said, "The location has been chosen, and now this king will let people clean up." ”

Then, Xi Yu hurriedly asked the soldiers to go to that place to clean up.

Next, the recruitment of workers began.

After the discussion, Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin sent the monks away.

Xi Yu sent soldiers to issue announcements, and the soldiers took the announcements and shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city to deliver the news to everyone.

The proclamation stated that a large number of workers were to build small Buddhist temples in their homes, and that the wages were very high. As soon as this news was released, it attracted widespread attention and heated discussions among many people in the city.

People walked out of their homes and gathered at the poster to read the announcement.

Some people are excitedly discussing this opportunity, believing it to be a good way to make money.

As time went on, more and more people came to sign up.

The place where you signed up was crowded, and people lined up in long lines, waiting for their opportunity, all attracted by the high salary package.

At the registration site, Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin personally attended the scene to communicate with the people.

They explained to the people the significance of building a small Buddhist hall.

The appearance of Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin has made people more convinced of the authenticity and feasibility of this project.

A few days later, Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin announced the selected candidates. Those who were chosen cheered.

After three days of hard work, the Buddha hall was finally completed. Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin looked at the solemn and beautiful Buddha Hall, and their hearts were full of joy and a sense of accomplishment.

After the temple was built, they held a grand consecration ceremony. People came to pay their respects and thank God for his blessing.

Ouyang Linlin looked at the people who came to worship with joy, turned her head to Xi Yu and said, "Husband, you see, with so many people coming to worship, this Buddhist hall will definitely bring good luck to everyone." ”

After solving this matter, Xi Yu can be regarded as relieved.

On this day, Cao Pi went to find Du Yujie again, Du Yujie already believed that Sima Yi was her biological father, and also knew that Sima Yi had been put in prison by Cao Pi for her own reasons.

Du Yujie knelt down for Cao Pi, hoping that he could release Sima Yi.

Cao Pi looked at Du Yujie, and his heart was full of helplessness and contradictions. He knew that Du Yujie was Sima Yi's daughter, but he couldn't let Sima Yi go easily.

"Cao Gong, as long as you can release it for me, I will be happy to do whatever he asks me to do."

"He didn't raise you, and he abandoned your mother, do you like him so much"? Cao Pi immediately asked.

Du Yujie didn't speak, but she thought to herself, no matter what, Sima Yi is also her biological father, and blood is thicker than water.

She must not ignore the other party's life, and her silence also shows her determination, and I believe that Cao Pi can also understand.

After pondering for a moment, Cao Pi said to Du Yujie: I know that you are very worried about your father, but Sima Yi betrayed me, and I can't let him go easily. ”

Du Yujie said with tears streaming down her face: "Gong Cao, my father will never betray you, he is just confused for a while." Please give him another chance. ”

Cao Pi's heart softened and said, "Okay, I can consider giving Sima Yi a chance, but just thinking about it doesn't mean that I will definitely let him go." ”

But for Du Yujie, having this sentence has already satisfied him, and she believes that Cao Pi will definitely think about it.

So then she also served the other party well.

Today, she has become very gentle, which makes Cao Pi very happy.

So Cao Pi is thinking about it, maybe he should really let Sima Yi go, after all, this is a game set up by someone else.

He must not be fooled, he walked out of Du Yujie's room and saw Meng Yulei in the courtyard.

"Ma Yulei, there are only two days left. Ben Hou hopes that you will not disappoint Ben Hou. ”

"Don't worry, Gong Cao, I won't let you down."

After that, he went to the latrine with a hippie smile.

Looking at his back, Cao Pi was very angry, and always felt that he was a little unreliable.

and remembered that this was exactly what Sima Yi recommended, so it aroused even more hatred for Sima Yi.

Night fell quietly, Meng Yulei in the guest room felt more and more heavy, he knew that he was just a waste of fame, no real skills, and could not solve the problem for Cao Pi.

Anxiety and fear enveloped him, and his thoughts lingered in an endless loop.

There was an air of silence in the room, with only a faint light shining through the windows.

Meng Yulei sat quietly on the edge of the bed, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed confusion and uneasiness.

He's only here for better enjoyment.

Now, in the face of Cao Pi's needs, he feels powerless.

He was afraid of being exposed, of losing everything he had now.

The thought of running away kept welling up in his mind.

After a while, he looked towards the door, and saw that there were many soldiers patrolling, and they were specifically at the door of his house.

He immediately realized that Cao Pi probably knew that he would escape, so he arranged for someone to guard here in advance.

Tomorrow is the last day, how about that?

He was already anxious at this time, and the sweat on his face was dripping, what should he do? What to do?

He kept asking himself.

In fact, Cao Pi was indeed worried that he would run away, because he was just enjoying himself these days and had nothing to do.

At this moment, Cao Pi was drinking tea in the room, and a soldier reported the situation to him, and now the soldiers are already patrolling, even if Meng Yulei wants to escape, he can't escape.

"I see what he will say tomorrow, knowing that at this moment, if he can't solve the problem, then I will definitely destroy his nine clans."

He waved his hand to let the soldier retreat, and after the soldier had walked a few steps, Cao Pi immediately said, "You come back." ”

The soldier walked back again.

"Gong Cao, do you have any other orders?"

Cao Pi smiled and said, "Withdraw all those who patrol." And the smile was particularly sinister.

The soldier felt incredible.

Cao Pi explained to him.

"Only after withdrawing, Ben Hou just wants to create an opportunity for him to escape, if he really escapes, wouldn't he be able to catch turtles in an urn?"

The soldier understood what he meant, and immediately went to several of the soldiers on patrol, and told them all about it.

A few patrolling soldiers immediately walked away.

Meng Yulei kept looking out the window in the room, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the soldiers had walked away.

It seems that he thinks too much, and Cao Pi may not be aiming at himself.

Maybe it's just a normal patrol.

So I still have a chance to escape.

He decided to leave in the middle of the night, and when the time came, he would go straight over the wall.

Because he knows where there is a ladder, and he can leave by taking the ladder.

Thinking about living here these days, he felt like a tender dream.

Good wine and good food are served every day, and there are beautiful women to enjoy.

How he wished that the days would go on.

But he knew that from now on there would never be any more.

He sighed, there was no way, it was better to run for his life.

At midnight, Cao's Mansion was shrouded in a quiet darkness.

The moonlight shines through the clouds, casting a faint glow that illuminates the buildings and paths in the house.

The entire Cao Mansion was immersed in tranquility, with only the occasional sound of patrol footsteps and the distant chirping of insects breaking the silence of the night.

The trees in the house swayed gently in the breeze, and the leaves rustled as if whispering something.

Meng Yulei, the man with fear in his heart, was quietly shuttling through the treasury of the Cao Mansion.

His heart was beating rapidly, and he clutched a ladder in his hand, planning to escape the place in the night.

There is an old atmosphere in the storeroom, and there are various items piled up around it, giving it a depressing feeling.

Meng Yulei carefully moved the ladder to the wall, ready to begin his escape journey.

He stepped on the ladder, his hands gripping the crossbar tightly, his body trembling slightly. Just as he was about to climb the wall, suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, breaking the silence of the night.

Stop. A loud shout rang out, and the soldiers rushed quickly.

Meng Yulei was shocked in his heart, he had clearly confirmed that no one was nearby, how could someone suddenly appear?

"I ...... I'm going to ......" Meng Yulei stammered and tried to explain, but the soldiers didn't give him a chance.

"Catch him!" With an order, the soldiers quickly stepped forward and dragged Meng Yulei down the ladder.

His struggle was futile, he was held tightly and could not escape.

"How did you find me?" Meng Yulei asked breathlessly.

A soldier looked at him coldly and said, "We have been watching you, and Cao Gong knows that you will try to escape. ”

Meng Yulei's face turned pale, and he realized that his plan had been revealed.

He was escorted to a room by the soldiers, filled with despair and helplessness.

This midnight escape plan ended in failure, and Meng Yulei fell into an even more difficult situation.

He didn't know what awaited him, but he knew that his fate was no longer in his own hands.

The next day, Cao Pi personally interrogated Meng Yulei.

Meng Yulei was brought to Cao Pi, his head bowed, and his expression was depressed.

Cao Pi sat on the gorgeous seat and looked at Meng Yulei with a cold gaze. He opened his mouth and asked, "Meng Yulei, why did you run away?" “

Meng Yulei didn't quibble, he knew that no explanation would help.

Cao Pi sneered and said, "You liar, now, I can't tolerate your existence anymore. ”

He waved his hand and motioned to the soldiers beside him.

The soldiers stepped forward and tied Meng Yulei up.

Meng Yulei did not resist, he knew that his fate was doomed.

Cao Pi stood up and announced coldly: "Meng Yulei has been sentenced to death. Execute it now! ”

Meng Yulei's face showed despair and helplessness, but he did not beg for mercy. He silently closed his eyes and waited for death to come.

Soon after, Meng Yulei was taken to an empty place in the courtyard.

The atmosphere on the execution ground was solemn, and the onlookers watched all this silently. The soldiers took Meng Yulei to the gallows and put a rope around his neck.

With Cao Pi's order, the soldiers tightened the ropes of the gallows. Meng Yulei's body struggled in the air for a few moments, and then gradually stopped moving. His life ended like this.

Cao Pi looked at Meng Yulei's corpse, and a trace of complicated emotions surged in his heart.

Meng Yulei is a liar, but isn't he a fool?

Why did he believe in the other party's deception? It's all because I'm too eager for quick success.

He felt very embarrassed.

He originally had the heart to let Sima Yi go, but at this time he changed his mind again, and Sima Yi had to be killed, and it would be good to be able to let go of his son Sima Shi.

He finally ordered Sima Yi to die, and it was executed at midnight today.

As night fell, there was a dreary atmosphere in the prison.

Several jailers walked into Sima Yi's cell with a sumptuous meal.

Sima Yi was taken aback, and he understood what this hearty meal meant.

Sima Yi's face showed a frightened expression, and his heart was beating faster and trembling uncontrollably.

The jailers watched him silently, did not speak, just laid the meal on the ground.

Sima Yi's eyes widened, and his voice trembled and asked, "This...... Is this a guillotine meal? ”

His voice echoed through the silence of the cell.

The jailers nodded silently, and one of them spoke, "That's right, Lord Sima, this is your guillotine. ”

Sima Yi's face turned pale, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly. He asked eagerly, "What about ...... What about Du Yujie? Was she let go? ”

Du Yujie is the only concern in Sima Yi's heart, and he hopes to ensure her safety.

The jailers exchanged glances, and one of them shook his head and said, "We don't know about Du Yujie's situation. ”

After saying that, they silently exited the cell, leaving Sima Yi alone to face the sumptuous meal.

Sima Yi's heart was heavy, and he knew that his time was running out. He sat at the table, looking at the delicious food, but he had no appetite.

On this silent night, Sima Yi fell into sorrow.

Suddenly, a jailer approached him quietly and whispered, "My lord, I have news for you. ”

Sima Yi raised his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The jailer leaned into his ear and whispered, "Then Meng Yulei is a liar, and he has been executed today." ”

Sima Yi's face instantly became gloomy, his fists clenched tightly, and his heart was full of anger and disappointment.

He never expected that he would be deceived by Meng Yulei, a liar.

The jailer continued: "Meng Yulei, recommended by Sima Shi, should have asked you about your crimes, but Cao Gong was very merciful after all, so Cao Gong asked his subordinates to tell you, hoping that you would know in your heart. ”

After hearing this, Sima Yi became even more emotional.

He scolded: "Meng Yulei, this liar! My son was deceived by him! ”

His voice echoed through the cell, full of anger and helplessness.

Sima Yi's heart was full of remorse and self-blame, and he realized how stupid his trust in Meng Yulei was.

He originally thought that Meng Yulei was a capable person, but he didn't expect him to be a liar, and he almost let his son be involved.

"Okay, you better stop insulting, you only have the last few hours left in your life, let's enjoy it." One of the jailers hastened to accuse.

Sima Yi became even more painful, and he didn't know how his son would suffer after he died.

I don't know if my two sons know about my execution tonight.

After a while, he didn't have the heart to eat, just chewing and thinking about his thoughts.

He believed that Cao Pi also deliberately wanted to let go of himself, and blamed this hateful Meng Yulei for not being good.

made Cao Pi even more determined to execute himself.

But when it comes to a thousand things and ten thousand, isn't it bad to blame yourself for all this?

When his son recommended Meng Yulei, why didn't he object?

And Cao Pi had already asked the soldiers to go to Sima Mansion to spread the word, telling Sima Shi the news that Sima Yi was about to be executed, and also conveyed the relevant information about Meng Yulei.

Sima Shi was taken aback, it seems that what the fortune teller said is right, his father is always difficult to escape, and he really has no ability to rescue his father, how can this be good? (End of chapter)
