Chapter 77 Disturb the Abbot
Thinking of this, General Li was physically and mentally uneasy, and he couldn't wait to run to the backyard immediately and destroy those medicine residues in minutes, but it was a pity that he was standing here now, and it was difficult to separate for a while.
"It seems that the key to the problem lies with that medicine monk!" Murong Xuan helped His Royal Highness to pass the order, and the entire temple was re-searched, if the traces of the medicine monk were found, he must be arrested immediately, without delay, His Royal Highness must find out why the medicine monk wanted to poison His Highness. ”
"Yes, Your Highness, the last general will order this!" As soon as General Li heard Murong Xuan say this, he rushed out as if he had received some kind of pardon, and after ordering the guards to do so, he took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention and walked in the direction of the backyard.
Soon, the remaining medicine residue in the backyard was destroyed cleanly, and there was no trace at all, and General Li turned around and left, and this matter was done quietly.
"It seems that Ben Shuai still didn't see the wrong person, Ben Shuai forgot about the scum, he still remembers, heh!" In the dark, a man in a cloak couldn't help but sneer.
At this time, Master Wuxiang was meditating in the meditation room, he closed his breath and was about to enter meditation, but he was woken up by the noise outside, so he had to ask: "What's going on outside, it's so noisy, don't you know that this temple is a pure place?" ”
Hearing Master Wuxiang's displeasure, a monk outside the meditation room replied: "Returning to the abbot, it is the royal forest army who guards His Highness who has to search the temple up and down, saying that they want to catch the medicine monk who poisoned His Highness." ”
"What?" Master Wuxiang's eyes widened, and he immediately stood up, the matter of poisoning His Highness is a big deal, no wonder it is so noisy!
At this time, General Li happened to come near the meditation room, and he knew that Master Wuxiang was the abbot of the royal temple given by the emperor, so he didn't dare to disturb rashly, but just said loudly outside the door: "Master Wuxiang, please cooperate, we are searching for the medicine monk who has absconded in fear of crime, and I hope that the master will not cover up selfishly." ”
As he was talking, the meditation room couldn't help but be opened, and Master Wuxiang appeared at the door solemnly, he looked at General Li and said, "General Li, what happened to make you so aggressive?" ”
Seeing this, General Li had to explain the cause and effect of the matter one by one, and Master Wuxiang understood a thing or two, only to see that he frowned deeply, and thought for a while: "General Li, the poor monk does not mean to protect the monks in the temple, but with the medicine monk you said is one of the poor monks' apprentices, 'Daowu', with the poor monk's understanding of him, I believe that Daowu will not do such a disrespectful thing, presumably there must be a misunderstanding in this." ”
"Master Wuxiang, General Ben also hopes that it was just a misunderstanding, but at this moment, your apprentice's Dao Enlightenment is unexpectedly gone, even if you have a thousand mouths now, you can't defend him, everything needs to be found first to talk about it." General Li said and looked into the meditation room with deep meaning.
"Since the general said so, the poor monk has nothing to say, please." Knowing that General Li was trying to search his meditation room, Master Wuxiang had to get out of the way and let the guards enter to search him, in order to show that he was not shielding the monks.
"Search me carefully, don't be sloppy!" Immediately, General Li ordered, and the guards did not dare to be sloppy when they saw this, and turned inside and out.
The monks on the side of the "abbot ......" couldn't help but feel that these guards were going too far when they saw the guards turning around in the meditation room, making the meditation room seem to be in trouble.
"Let them search!" Venerable Wuxiang instructed the monks that there is no need to be angry, that everything is just an appearance, and that if one's mind is as calm as water and there are no distracting thoughts, there will be no greed or anger.
"Report to the general, no suspicious whereabouts have been found!" Seeing that the guards came to report, General Li turned around and said very apologetically: "Excuse me, Master Wuxiang, General Ben is just under orders, please forgive me." ”
"The poor monk knows!" Master Wuxiang casually made an Amitabha Buddha's gesture.
"Let's go, go search elsewhere with General Ben!" General Li couldn't help but order.
At this time, the monk beside the abbot said: "Abbot, what if these people break into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of my Buddha Gate under the pretext of searching?" These are forbidden to outsiders. ”
Seeing the monk's reminder, Master Wuxiang didn't feel that something was wrong, so he ordered: "Quickly, follow me to the Scripture Pavilion." ”
As soon as Master Wuxiang's front foot arrived at the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, General Li followed closely with his back foot, he looked at Master Wuxiang and said, "Master, I didn't expect you to be much faster than us. ”
"General Li, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is a forbidden place for my Buddha, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, presumably you should know this rule." The Phaseless Mage is the right color path.
"General Ben doesn't know, General Ben only knows that the emperor's order cannot be violated, not to mention that this is a major matter related to poisoning the prince's life, and General Ben can't take it lightly." General Li actually has his own plans in his heart, he has long heard that there are many scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and there are many martial arts cheats, if he is lucky enough to be able to obtain one or two, maybe he can become a first-class master, which is undoubtedly a tiger for him, and go to the next level.
"The poor monk is given by the royal family, enjoys the support of the palace and the trust of the emperor, and should have the right to maintain the Xishan Temple, if General Li insists on searching my scripture pavilion, it is better to step over the body of the poor monk." Master Wuxiang made up his mind not to let General Li search, after all, there was still a hidden underground palace in this scripture pavilion, which was the remains of senior monks, how could it be trampled on by outsiders.
"Master Wuxiang, you know that if you let the emperor know about poisoning the prince, don't mention your Xishan Temple, even ten Xishan Temples will be ordered by the emperor to be leveled, this general advises you to be a person who knows the times as a junjie." General Li saw that Master Wuxiang was so stubborn, and he couldn't help but persuade him.
"It's okay for the general to search, but there must be a personal gift from the emperor, and this master will also report to the emperor, and immediately resign from the duties of the abbot of Xishan Temple, and never step into Xishan Temple again in this life." Master Wuxiang swore an oath, but General Li did not hesitate.
At this time, Mrs. Hu happened to be walking here, and when he saw this scene, he also felt that General Li was a little too much, so he stepped forward and persuaded: "General Li, why do you have to embarrass Master Wuxiang, the world knows that Master Wuxiang is of good character and is a high-ranking monk, and it is inevitable that you don't trust him so much." Moreover, this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is indeed a forbidden place for Buddhism, and it is better for this Taifu to advise the general not to trample on it, otherwise karma will be retribution, but it is difficult to say. ”
"Taifu Hu, General Ben doesn't want to trample on it, but if the medicine monk who wants to poison the prince is hiding in this so-called Buddha Gate Forbidden Place, won't General Ben be accused of negligence?" General Lee was pointed.
"General Li can rest assured, this man is iron, rice is steel, if anyone does not eat or drink for several days in a row, presumably even a big living person will be starved to death. The general only needs to send someone to handle here, and no monks are allowed to enter and leave this scripture pavilion, and the problem can naturally be solved. Anyway, he will die, if that monk is really in this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he will definitely not be stupid enough to starve to death here, do you say? Jiang is still old and spicy, and Mrs. Hu's words were approved by Master Wuxiang and everyone.
Seeing that everyone was unconsciously inclined to Mrs. Hu's statement, General Li was unconsciously annoyed, but there was nothing he could do, obviously Mrs. Hu's suggestion was more humane, if he didn't accept it, it seemed a little unreasonable, just the secret book of martial arts...... Hey, it seems that I have to think again.
So General Li coughed and ordered: "All the guards listen to the order, from now on, show me this scripture pavilion, all monks are only allowed to go out, not enter." ”
"Yes!" The guards answered.
"That's great!" Master Wuxiang unconsciously cast a grateful glance at Taifu Hu, and then said to General Li: "General Li, I think that the matter of the medicine monk is suspicious, and the poor monk will definitely do his best to assist the general in his investigation." ”
"Thank you, Abbot!" Although General Li was dissatisfied, he was helpless, he left some guards at the moment, and also ordered: "The other guards and General Ben will search elsewhere without delay." Then he walked away.
"Master Wuxiang, this Taifu also just heard about the prince's poisoning, and the old man also felt that this matter was too strange, and everyone felt that the disappearance of the medicine monk was very suspicious, and it was precisely the disappearance of the medicine monk that was the key." Mrs. Hu couldn't help but say.
"The poor monk also thinks so, that medicine monk is my apprentice Daowu, his character I know, although the character is withdrawn, but he is upright, but he doesn't know how to pass it, I can't imagine that someone will blame him now, I think he is currently more than lucky." Master Wuxiang's words were full of worry.
"If it's really as the mage said, the old man thinks that the life of this medicine monk is at stake?" Mrs. Hu swept his beard and said thoughtfully.
"Taifu, if it's convenient, you might as well go to the West Chamber with Lao Wei to see His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know how His Royal Highness is now?" Master Wuxiang only remembered the prince at this time, and felt that it was really inappropriate not to go to investigate, and it was still related to the medicine monk in this temple at this time.
"That's what the old man wants, please!" Mrs. Hu immediately made a gesture of invitation, so the two of them went to the front.
Speaking of the West Chamber, the prince was shocked, he didn't expect that he would almost be poisoned, if the prince of a country was poisoned to death like this, how cheap should this life be.
"Prince, don't panic, there must be a reason for this!" Xiao Lizi was very calm at the moment, he thought that the person who wanted to poison the prince must have come for the position of the prince, so it seemed that the prince would have to be careful in the future.
"How can you let this prince not panic, this prince almost lost his life, no, this prince is going back to the palace now, he can't stay in such a place where birds don't and may lose his life at any time." Saying that, Murong Xuan struggled to get up, intending to leave.
"Prince, are you crazy? The emperor has ordered, you can't go back to the palace without his decree, you have already resisted the decree and disrespected, do you want to resist the decree again? Xiao Lizi hurriedly pressed Murong Xuan, who wanted to get up, and persuaded him coldly.
