Chapter 203: The Spirit Child Leaves the Palace

"The spirit boy came out of the royal family, he had no choice but to change his robe, Bodhi was not enlightened, the dust was difficult to cut, and he was forced to endure the lotus." At this time, while eating the dishes, he pretended to whisper to Mu Qingliang.

Mu Qingliang and Ah Xia were baffled by his headless words. They were both speculating whether Li Yi had lost his mind and gone crazy.

And the people on Li Yi's side also frowned, not understanding what Li Yi meant by saying such a headless sentence.

But among the people, only Anxin suddenly showed a look of surprise when he heard Li Yi's half of the poem.

Although he has been hiding in Tibet in Luozhou for many years, he still has not left behind in the study of Buddhist scriptures.

Therefore, in his opinion, the half of the poems recited by Li Yi seem to be limericks, but the implied attachment to Hongchen and the resistance to Buddhism are vividly reflected in a few sentences.

But he can be sure that there must be a second half of these poems, and this second half of the poems will definitely write the determination to see through the red dust and escape into the empty door.

"Li Gongzi, who wrote this half-Buddhist poem of yours?" Anxin, who has not spoken much, was finally aroused by this half of the poem.

Although he did not know who wrote the poem, he could be sure that the person who wrote it must have been a Buddhist.

"Be quiet, the origin of this half of the poem is amazing." Li Yi pretended to look around for a while, and then pretended to lower his voice and said.

And the diners sitting around him were also interested in Li Yi's mysterious appearance at this time.

When these people heard Li Yi say that the person who wrote this poem came from an amazing background, they pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Amazing status?" Anxin couldn't help but be more curious when he said this. And Li Yi turned his head to look at Mu Qingliang, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"I'm telling you, you've been passed on to me!"

"Master Li, don't worry, I won't spread this matter out of the box." Peace of mind clasped his hands together and reassured.

So Li Yi stood up, then approached An's body, covered his mouth with his hand, and said.

"This poem was written by Mu Qingliang, the son of Qi Kingdom!" Although he had covered his mouth with his hand, his voice was still so loud that the diners at the tables around him could hear it clearly.

"What? Mu Qingliang, the son of Qi State, he ······" An An exclaimed, but before he could finish the words he had written down, he was covered by Li Yi's mouth.

At the same time, Mu Qingliang and A Xia, who were the parties involved, were directly stunned in place. Especially Mu Qingliang, his brain, which was not very bright, has now completely lost the ability to think.

And when Anxin was covered by Li Yi's mouth, he instantly understood that this was Li Yi's way to attract attention.

It's just that Li Yi didn't remind himself in advance, so that he would be so out of shape just now. But what he didn't know was that Li Yi was deliberately hiding it from everyone.

Because only in this way will their expressions appear more real, and only real expressions will make the people around them believe the lies they have made up.

This will also facilitate their own plans for the future. Sure enough, when the surrounding diners saw Li Yi covering his mouth with peace of mind, they completely believed Li Yi.

After a while, the diners at the surrounding tables began to talk in private. As a prince of a country, it is not uncommon to be able to recite poetry.

After all, since there can be an arrogant and lascivious son, then there may be a son who can write brilliantly and eruditely.

Although these diners have not heard of this prince of Qi Province, it does not prevent them from imagining this extraordinary prince in their own minds.

Just when Mu Qingliang came to his senses and was about to speak, Li Yi's flying foot kicked him his calf.

Mu Qingliang let out a miserable howl, hugged his calves and kept pumping cold air.

"When I listen to this poem, it sounds like it was written by someone from the Buddhist family?" A diner whispered to someone close to him.

"Yes, I also feel that there is a bit of Zen in this poem. Another diner said after tasting the poems that Li Yi said on the side. ”

"Hey, didn't you find that you still understand the Zen of Buddhism?" The diners on the other side of him couldn't help frowning, it seemed that he was still more afraid of Buddhism.

After Emperor Shengwu ordered the destruction of the Buddha, the people of the Buddhist family were like lost dogs, hiding in Tibet all day long, and they could not live in fear.

At the beginning, the common people were also hostile to the Buddhists, so that most of the monks were later captured by the imperial court.

In addition, the laws and regulations at that time stipulated that as long as the government assisted the government in arresting the monks, the reward would be consistent. For this reason, the people ran to the gate of the yamen to report to the government.

Although many years have passed since Emperor Shengwu destroyed the Buddha, the imperial court has not stated that this decree has been revoked.

Moreover, the imperial court has also been arresting Buddhist survivors over the years.

"What Buddhist Zen can I understand, you must not climb around!" Just now, the diner saw that the eyes of the people next to him were a little abnormal, and he couldn't help but be shocked, so he hurriedly defended.

"You say that if the prince of this Qi country believes in Buddhism, what should the court do?" Finally, one person pointed out the biggest doubt in everyone's hearts.

At this moment, a person ran in from Waiman in a panic, and a group of servants behind him were chasing after him with water and fire sticks.

The moment the man ran into Huanyan Tower, he tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground without paying attention, and he was immediately thrown to the ground.

And a servant behind him instantly came to his side, and then picked up the water and fire stick and beat the man indiscriminately.

The man clutched his head on the ground and wailed.

"What I said is true, I really don't know that the poems I said are related to Buddhism!"

"Give me a damn quibble, the poem you said was clearly written by the remnants of Buddhism, and you dared to recite Buddhist poetry in public at the risk of the world's disapproval, you are afraid that you are tired of being crooked." The servant scolded angrily with the water and fire stick in his hand, but he didn't stop at all.

The man who fell to the ground was also angry at this time, so he shouted loudly while blocking the water and fire sticks swung by the servants with his arms.

"Stop, do you know who I am" The official was fighting at this time, and he didn't care who the other party was.

"I don't care who the fuck you are, I know that you recite Buddhist poems in public, and I suspect you now that you are a remnant of Buddhism."

"You listen to me, I am a servant of the prince of Qi Kingdom, you know each other, hurry up and stop me, otherwise when my family comes, I will have your good fruit to eat." The man who had been beaten threatened angrily.

"Fuck the prince of Qi Kingdom, I think you are a fool's dream, if you are a servant of the prince of Qi Kingdom, I am still the cousin of the prince of Huainan Wang!" The official obviously didn't believe this man's statement, so he wielded the water and fire stick in his hand even harder.

After a few blows, the man fell to the ground, and the man could only hold his head and faint.

"If you don't stop, if you beat this person to death, I won't be able to explain it when I go back." Several other officials also rushed over at this time, and they pulled away the officials who beat people.

An old servant poked in front of the man's nose and was relieved to find that he still had a snort.

Soon several officials dragged the unconscious man away. And during this period, Mu Qingliang wanted to get up more than once to stop it, after all, that person was his servant.

Seeing his servants being beaten like this by others, he felt that his face was gloomy. But when he saw Li Yi holding a knife in his hand and turning it around his fingertips, his originally angry heart instantly turned cold.

"Do you think this person is really a servant of the prince of the Qi Kingdom?" Because of the previous conversation between Li Yi and Anxin, these diners were guessing in their hearts whether what they said was true or not.

"I don't understand why the prince of Qi Kingdom, as the future vassal king of a country, wants to let go of glory and wealth, and has to recite some Buddhist poems, isn't this full of food?" A diner shook his head and smiled bitterly, these dignitaries and dignitaries were really full.

"Didn't you listen to the first line of the poem?" The diner next to him took a sip of his glass, and then said with a sigh of wine.

"The first line of poetry?" The sighing diner asked in confusion.

"The spirit boy came out of the royal family, which has clearly explained why the prince of Qi Kingdom would risk the disapproval of the world to recite Buddhist poetry." The drinker looked around and lowered the rope as he spoke, and he deliberately accentuated the tone of the word Lingtong.

"Don't sell it, tell me what the mystery of these words is?" The sighing diner asked impatiently.

"Have you ever heard of a spirit child?" The diner looked at his empty glass and sighed, and the man instantly understood.

He immediately got up, picked up the flask, and filled the glasses for the drinkers. Seeing that his glass was full, the man was satisfied, took the glass and drank it again, and then put it down.

The sighing diner filled his glass again. At this time, the drinker picked up a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth again, and then slowly spoke proudly.

"To say that this spirit boy is called the reincarnation spirit boy is actually a miracle of Buddhism."

"Reincarnated spirit child? Miracles? Doesn't it mean that the spirit child who did this is a regenerate person? The diners at the table next to him couldn't help but check their mouths curiously.

"That's right, it is said that there is a very mysterious sect in the Buddhist family called the Vilu sect, and the enlightened monks of this sect will use secret methods to enable themselves to be reborn before they die, and the children after their rebirth are called spirit children." Drinkers carefully explain to their surroundings.

"Can these children remember what happened before they were reincarnated?" Because the reincarnated spirit boy was so novel that all the diners at the scene put down their chopsticks and listened carefully.

But when the drinker saw that everyone was staring at him with burning eyes, he immediately closed his mouth.

"This big brother, you go on!"

"yes, why did you stop?"

"Big brother, say it quickly, I will wait here for no shortage of good wine and good food!"

"......" Everyone was still waiting for him to continue to tell everyone about this reincarnated spirit child, and when they saw that he suddenly stopped talking, everyone who was aroused by curiosity urged him to continue talking.

"I don't know anything, and I don't say anything! You've all listened! The drinker immediately raised his glass and said to the people around him.

In an instant, everyone understood why this man stopped talking halfway through. It turned out that he was worried that these things would be spread out and provoke the government for himself, and even if he had nothing to do with the Buddhist family, he would have to be served by those servants like the servants of the prince of Qi just now.

"Big brother, don't worry, everyone here has a tight mouth, and no one will go out to chew the root of their tongue!" In the crowd, a richly dressed young man immediately stood up and said.

"Yes, this brother, you can rest assured and boldly say, if someone really goes out to talk nonsense afterwards, my Zou someone's long knife is not vegetarian." Then a strong man patted his chest and said with a grin.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, because the man who spoke was not small. He is Zou Chao, the third leader of the Huaishui Cao Gang, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called 'evil rays in the water'.

According to rumors in the rivers and lakes, he once swam dozens of miles in the Huai River alone, and then scuttled one of the enemy's pleasure boats.

Therefore, the people who originally had some thoughts about his threat immediately put out their plans to go to the official to receive the reward.

"Okay, brother, since you have Zou Sanye's words as a guarantee, you can rest assured and say it boldly." The other diners immediately persuaded him.

Seeing that the eyes of the people around him were very eager, the drinker slapped the wine glass on the table and then gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Since everyone loves me so much, how can I live up to everyone's good intentions, I will explain to you the words of this spirit child." The drinker immediately threw his hands and fists in all directions.

The crowd pulled their stools around him and sat around him.

"In fact, it is said that the spirit child will be reincarnated in which direction after the death of the high monk of the Pilu sect, and after all the children born in this direction are found and gathered together, the temple will raise them until they are 5 years old, and when these children are 5 years old, the temple will take out some things that the high monks have used for the children to identify, and the one who can accurately identify all the high monks is the reincarnated spirit child." After he explained all the reincarnated spirit child clearly, everyone couldn't help but be amazed.

It was the first time they had heard of such a mysterious thing.

"Do you think this reincarnated spirit boy is reliable? If someone had told those children the answer in advance, wouldn't they have been able to identify the spirit child at will? One of them said puzzled.

"Yes, isn't this spirit boy completely untrustworthy?" Someone in the crowd chimed in.

"If that's the case, there's nothing strange about it, it's said that there was once the situation you said, but later these things were exposed." The drinker raised an eyebrow as if I wanted to know that you would ask.

"Oh! What else is there to say? ”

"Of course, it is said that those reincarnated spirit children who have usurped the position of spirit children will realize their identity when they become adults, and they will remember the past of their previous lives, so they will all go further in the Dharma." After the drinker finished speaking, he picked up his glass again, drank a glass of wine, and then got up and left the Huanyan Building.

It wasn't until he completely disappeared from the street that the diners in Huanyan's building came to their senses. Many people still have a lot of things to ask, but the person has disappeared without a trace, and everyone can't help but feel sorry.

After all, now that the Buddhist family has been completely destroyed by the imperial court, these secrets of the Buddhist family will eventually be completely annihilated with the passage of time.
