Chapter 123: Chu Yunjian

When Mu Linyi walked out of the main hall of the temple, the situation that had been eased suddenly became a little delicate.

Although Gonggong Chen was sitting in the carriage, he kept staring at the door of the main hall.

Therefore, he jumped out of the carriage as soon as Mu Linyun appeared, and came to Mu Linyan's side in three steps and two steps.

"Your Highness, did you ask something?"

Eagerly, he subconsciously asked the question he wanted to know the most.

But as soon as he spoke, he realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

Mu Linyan ignored him, just squinted his eyes and glanced coldly into the heavy rain.

The soldiers of the city guard camp quickly clothed him with a cloak and a hat, and then he mounted his horse and turned his horse's head.

"Leave thirty horses behind, let's withdraw!"

He Qiu also jumped on the war horse and gave an order, and then followed Mu Linyan to kick the horse's belly and headed in the direction of Luozhou.

It wasn't until the war horses of the two disappeared into the heavy rain that Gonggong Chen reacted, and he immediately jumped on a war horse and chased in the direction of Mu Linyan.

The soldiers of the city guard battalion also withdrew from the ruined temple after leaving behind thirty horses.

When they completely disappeared into the heavy rain, only Li Yi and others were left in the temple compound.

"Where are An Jun and Yu Zhenlei?"

Seeing that Mu Linyi and the others had retreated, Li Yi suddenly reacted that An Su and Yu Zhenlei had been mortgaged as hostages in the hands of the other party before.

But now there is no sign of the two.

Just when Li Yi wanted to find it, a head suddenly poked out of a carriage in front of the main hall.

"Childe, help me, Yu Zhenlei, this big fool, slept like a dead pig and pressed on my lap."

Everyone lifted the curtain of the carriage, and sure enough, they saw Yu Zhenlei curled up in the carriage, snoring like thunder.

Finally got An Su out, and everyone returned to the main hall to see that the sky was still very dark, so everyone decided to seize the time to rest.

Soon everyone's snoring came out again, but Li Yi couldn't sleep at this time.

He sat up quietly, but found that An Le was sitting in front of the campfire at this time, sitting cross-legged with his hands in front of his abdomen, as if he was in a state of mind.

It's just that Li Yi found that his lips were constantly opening and closing, as if he was muttering something.

So Li Yi got up and came to his side, and when he heard Li Yi's movement, An Le opened his eyes, and then smiled at Li Yi very kindly.

"Can you talk?"

Li Yi asked in a low voice.

An Le nodded, and then he got up and walked in the direction of the dungeon.

Li Yi also gently followed him into the underground palace.

After entering the underground palace, Anxin folded his hands and bowed to Li Yi.

"Thank you today for saving your life!"

"You're worshipping the wrong person, it's my senior brother Mu Junhe who saved you!"

Li Yi said with a smile and waved his hand.

"Don't be humble, don't be humble, today it's not so much that you saved me, but that you saved me and your senior brother."

An Le is also a person who knows the truth.

"Don't mention this, today I respect Senior Brother for your enlightenment, you are really enlightened?"

"Worship the Lord is a person of great wisdom, but also a person with Buddha fate, although he is not a believer in my Buddhist family, but he also understands the root of Buddhism to become a Buddha, after his guidance the poor monk is really enlightened."

An Le said with a firm face.

"Now that you're enlightened, what do you want to do next?"

"I'm just an ordinary person among all living beings, and I don't have the wisdom of the benefactor, so since I came from the red dust, I will go back to the red dust next, and according to what the benefactor said, refine my heart with the red dust, refine my greed and hatred, and then transform sentient beings in order to seek fruition."

Li Yi didn't have the slightest emotional fluctuation when he saw Du Anle's words and said his words, and his mood at this time was like a pool of water without waves.

"But although you want to enter this red dust, you also know that the Dayu Dynasty has an order to destroy the Buddha, and once you convert others, you are likely to be held accountable by the government of the Dayu Dynasty."

Li Yi reminded him.

Then An Le fell silent, this is indeed the biggest problem he encountered, and today's Buddhists are no longer the Buddhists who can teach the Dharma at will.

Today's Buddhism may have become a feared threat to the people.

"It's better to go south with us, now the south of Dayu has been suffering from drought for many years, and the people are miserable, and there are even more bandits, maybe you can find the fire to revive Buddhism there."

Li Yi proposed, which was also carefully considered by Li Yi just now.

It's not that Li Yi has a good impression of Buddhism, but he really doesn't want to see the few flames of Buddhism finally extinguished.

According to what his master Tai Jizi said, there is no bad Tao or bad law in this world, but in the preaching and teaching, some people distorted the Tao and the law for their own Li Yi.

In the past, most of the Buddhists distorted the Dharma left by the Buddha.

"Then there is a giver!"

An Le folded his hands again and bowed to Li Yi.

"Don't call me a donor in the future, I haven't given you anything!"

Li Yi smiled and took An Le's hand and said.

"Donor, you are wrong, what you give me is the most important thing, that is my life!"

An Le also smiled at this time.

Then the two chatted in this underground palace.

During this period, Li Yi also learned how An Le and his brothers survived the Buddha Destruction Order.

At the same time, he also knew what questions Mu Linyan asked An Le.

It turned out that after Mu Linyan went down to the underground palace, the most important thing was to ask who were the main principals of their Leiyin Temple before the Buddha extermination operation, and what was their identity before they became monks?

The reason why Mu Linyun wanted to ask this question, Li Yi guessed that it was likely that Mu Linyan had realized that in addition to colluding with the eunuchs, other forces were involved in the original planning of the Tianlin Change.

And it is very likely that the high-level of Leiyin Temple had the infiltration of these people.

At the same time, Li Yi also suspected that the Buddhists were likely to be used as scapegoats.

But in any case, more than ten years have passed since the affairs of the Buddhist family, and it will not be possible to find out in a while.

And while Li Yi and An Le were talking about the past and the present, Mu Linyan was riding a war horse and galloping in the rain.

Although he was wearing a hat on his head, the raindrops still hit his face, making his face feel a slight tingle.

But Mu Linyan still didn't feel anything, and at this time he was completely shocked and frightened.

Because when he was asking An Le just now, he heard a familiar name among the high-level of Leiyin Temple: Chu Yunjian.

In An Le's introduction, Chu Yunjian became a monk after the Dharma name Hongyun, at that time was one of the top ten elders of Leiyin Temple, in Leiyin Temple and even in the entire Buddhist family is a well-known figure, although he was not very old at that time, but his understanding is extremely high and Buddhism is profound.

He was also praised as the future successor of Buddhism by Master Tianyan, the host of Leiyin Temple at that time.

And because the Dharma name Hongyun is very famous in Buddhism, his real name Chu Yunjian has gradually been forgotten by others.

But in fact, compared to the law name of Hongyun, his real name Chu Yunjian is really much more important in Mu Linyun's opinion.

And the reason why his real name has weight comes from his elder brother Chu Yunya.

Speaking of this, Chu Yunya is famous in the entire Dayu Dynasty.

And the reason why he is so famous is entirely because of his two identities, one is the champion, and the other is the horse.

No matter which of these two identities is considered to be famous all over the world, Chu Yunya has two of them.

The two brothers, Chu Yunya and Chu Yunjian, are actually twins, but in the Dayu Dynasty, most twins are generally regarded as ominous, especially the nobles and the royal family.

Even Mu Linyan knew that there were rules in the imperial family, but whenever the emperor's concubines gave birth to twins, they needed to drown the weak immediately.

In addition to superstition, the deeper reason for this rule is that if one of the twins inherits the throne, the other is likely to be used to secretly usurp the throne and replace the emperor.

But although the Chu family, where Chu Yunya and Chu Yunjian were born, was a scholarly family, they were also in the middle of the family at that time, so there was no discrimination against their brothers.

And the two brothers Chu Yunya and Chu Yunjian are not only talented, but also handsome.

Later, the two brothers studied under the name of the Confucian, and they quickly succeeded in learning with their extraordinary talent.

Then the two brothers participated in the imperial examination together, and the two brothers went hand in hand, both passed the township examination and the general examination, and successfully entered the palace examination.

At that time, it was Emperor Shengyin who presided over the palace examination, but because Emperor Shengyin believed in the rumors of the ominous twins, he wanted to directly put all the two brothers into the bottom three, but the two brothers of the Chu family at that time were really good, and Emperor Shengyin felt that it was a pity that all of them were in the top three.

Therefore, in the end, Emperor Shengyin made Chu Yunya the champion, and Chu Yunjian entered the last position of the three pluses.

In this way, the first place in the palace test and the penultimate place in the palace test were assigned to the two brothers of the Chu family in this way.

Next, Chu Yunya was caught by Emperor Shengheng, who was still the king of Jin at the time, and later Chu Yunya was directly arrested by Emperor Shengheng when the list was released, and became Emperor Shengheng's son-in-law.

This was also passed down by the entire Dayu Dynasty at that time.

It's just that Mu Linyan, who is a member of the royal family, heard his mother mention that this matter is not as rumored by the outside world.

The actual situation is that at that time, when the two brothers of the Chu family entered the capital to participate in the examination, they were favored by the daughter of Emperor Shengheng, and later Princess Mingjing.

Although the two brothers of the Chu family did pass the examination with their own strength, the original champion at the time of the palace examination was not the fixed Chu Yunya, but it was only because of the Holy Yin Emperor who Princess Mingjing went to ask that Chu Yunya finally became the champion.

And the so-called arrest of sons-in-law under the list was also prepared by Emperor Shengyin in advance.

Later, it was said that Chu Yunjian was embarrassed because his eldest brother was the top student in high school and he was the last of the top three in the district, and finally became ill and couldn't afford to get sick.

Later, because the light of his eldest brother Chu Yunya became more and more prosperous, completely covering Chu Yunjian's light, and finally Chu Yunjian disappeared from the officialdom of Dayu, and few people paid attention to him after that.

After so many years, he didn't expect that he would hear this name again when he was tracking down the Tianlin Change, which made Mu Linyan feel that this matter was too terrifying.

With his own intuition, Mu Linyan felt that the Tianlin change launched by the Buddhism must have something to do with this Chu Yunjian.

If it was really Chu Yunjian who planned and presided over the Tianlin Change, it actually made sense, after all, Emperor Shengyin treated him like this back then, he was resentful, and with the assistance of eunuchs, it was also possible for him to take revenge on Emperor Shengyin's son, Emperor Shengshu.

But his special identity can't help but make people wonder if it's really just because he has a personal anger against Emperor Shengyin?

Is it possible that Chu Yunjian has his brother's figure behind the planning of this matter, and think about whether there is that figure among them.

Thinking of this, Mu Linyan was confused, he didn't dare to think about how deep that person's scheming should be if things were really as he thought.

And if his father's violent death was really like that, then how can he take revenge?

Thinking of this, Mu Linyi felt like his skull was about to explode, and at the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness made him feel suffocated like a fish out of water.

At this time, he wanted to roar loudly and vent it completely, but when he saw Gonggong Chen riding a war horse next to him, he had to suppress his anger.

And He Qiu, who was beside him, looked at Mu Linyan who was galloping on a war horse with a worried face.

Since He Qiu didn't know the details of Chu Yunjian, he didn't notice any problems with the information An Le said about Leiyin Temple.

But when An Le finally said the high-level officials of the Lei Yin Temple, he felt that Mu Linyan's demeanor had changed significantly.

Therefore, he judged that His Royal Highness King Luo must have heard something important from the information of these high-level officials.

And now that Mu Linyi was in this state, it showed that the news they had received from An Le might be more important than he expected.

He even had a hunch that this time they were likely to find the key to unlocking the true face of the black hand behind the Tianlin Change.

This was originally a thing worthy of Mu Linyi's happiness, but now he has a cold and serious face, which shows that this mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be feared by Mu Linyan.

As a result, he began to worry about his personal safety and that of Mu Linyan as he continued to track down.

Seeing that the city of Luozhou was already in sight, He Qiu decided that after entering the city, he had to have a good talk with Mu Linyan, and he had to ensure Mu Linyan's personal safety first.

Just when the rain was stretching on the side of Luozhou, the imperial capital of Dayu, which was thousands of miles away, was high and crisp in autumn.

There is a huge ginkgo tree planted in a three-entry mansion in the imperial capital, and it is the time when autumn turns to winter, and most of the leaves of the entire ginkgo tree have fallen at this time, and only a few golden leaves are still unwilling to go down with the wind.

Under this huge ginkgo tree is a stone table and four stone benches.

At this time, a chessboard was placed on the stone table, and the black and white colors on the chessboard were penetrating each other and wrestling with each other.

On the two stone benches next to the stone table sat two old men with white beards.

One of the old men slowly shook off the yellow leaves that fell on his robe after dropping a son.

"It's really troublesome that someone wants to solve the things of the past!"

The other old man thought for a moment, and then shuddered, picked up a sunspot and pressed it to the corner of the chessboard, and then he stood up, stepped on the yellow leaves all over the ground, and slowly spoke.

"Who thinks that the west wind is cool alone, Xiao Xiao yellow leaves go with the wind, pondering the old things in a trance, unbearable to look back and forget, now this past has been like this fallen leaves, even if the wind rises again, it can't go back to the branches."
