Chapter 117: Witnesses
No wonder the little monk was surprised.
Baoyun Temple is built on the top of the North Qi Mountain, it is not famous, the mountain road is difficult to walk in winter, and few people come here to make incense.
What's more, Fu Jiao and Zhao Hao came to the inner courtyard without passing the word.
When Zhao Hao saw someone, he greeted happily: "We are here to find someone." ”
The little monk frowned, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"The presiding officer of your temple, Master Huiguang."
After Zhao Hao finished speaking, the little monk's expression suddenly became vigilant. He pushed Zhao Hao with both hands, "There is no such person in our temple, and the host is not called Huiguang, please go back if the donor finds the wrong place!" ”
"If you find a mistake, say it, what are you doing to drive people out?" Thanks to the fact that Zhao Hao is an adult man, the little monk can't push him.
If his attitude was normal, Fu Jiao would not be suspicious, but the little monk nervously drove them out, isn't this the place where there are no three hundred taels of silver.
Fu Jiaocai didn't want to lose face or anything, she had to see Huiguang when she came from afar, so she stretched her neck and shouted: "Master Huiguang!" Where are you, Master Huiguang! We've got something important for you! ”
Zhao Hao also shouted with her.
The little monk was so anxious that he couldn't cover the mouths of the two, and the noisy sound finally attracted all the other monks in the temple. The middle-aged monk led by him wore a red robe, and his bearing was extraordinary at first glance.
He strode over and scolded the farce of several people: "Zhengtong, stop!" ”
When the little monk named "Zhengtong" saw him, tears fell down, "Host, these two people are here to make trouble!" ”
When Fu Jiao heard Zhengtong call the person who came, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency is Master Huiguang?" ”
The host looked solemn, with lop ears, big eyes, and thick eyebrows. Knowing that they were looking for Huiguang, he also showed a look of surprise.
He said to Fu Jiao: "The poor monk's name is Huiwen, not Huiguang. ”
"Then where is Master Huiguang?"
Huiwen glanced at the two of them, frowned and asked, "Master Huiguang is a poor monk's senior brother, and he has been moving to Siguo Cliff Qing for many years. The two donors are looking for my brother, is there something wrong? ”
"It's a very important thing."
Fu Jiao knew that the people in their Buddhism were the most taboo about karma, and if they did evil things, they would definitely be condemned by their conscience. Thinking of this, she told the story of Huiguang's aiding and abusive back then: "Ten years ago, Master Huiguang was in the Fu family in the capital......
As soon as he said a few words, Master Huiwen's face changed greatly. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Fu Jiao from continuing, "Female benefactor! Be careful! Let's go somewhere else to say! ”
Fu Jiao and Zhao Hao looked at each other.
In addition to the little monk Zhengtong, there are also some other monks gathered around. Obviously, Huiwen knew about it, but he couldn't make it public.
Huiwen asked the monks to disperse, led Fu Jiao and Zhao Hao into a secluded retreat, and hesitated: "What are the identities of the two benefactors?" How do you know what my senior brother did in the Fu family back then? ”
Fu Jiao said: "I am the daughter of the unjust soul suppressed by Master Huiguang back then. ”
A few words made Master Huiwen ashamed.
He said, "You still found it after all......"
"What you have done cannot be erased, and you want people not to know unless you do it. As a Buddhist, the master should understand this truth better than me. ”
Master Huiwen's eyes were complicated.
He said: "It was indeed the senior brother who did something wrong back then, so after he came back, he stepped down from the position of host and took the initiative to go to Siguo Cliff." He has been atoning for his sins all these years......"
It is indeed an unforgivable mistake to transfer the sin of buying life money to another person, and to let another person die in vain.
"However, Senior Brother is forced to do so." Huiwen couldn't stop sighing, "Back then, Baoyun Temple didn't have money for sesame oil, and even the gate was broken, and there was no money to repair it. The monks shivered in the winter, and in the summer, the rain poured down, and there was no dry clothes to wear for several days, hey, for a little sesame oil money, my brother had to do something unconscionable......"
Monks are also human beings.
For the sake of so many disciples in the temple, Master Huiguang, as the presiding master, had to bend his waist for five buckets of rice. Even if he later lived on the cliff to atone for his sins, these things had already happened and could not be changed.
Knowing the cause and effect, Fu Jiao was not angry. She said to Huiwen very calmly, "Please take us to Huiguang." Reciting sutras in the precipice is not atonement, but identifying the real mastermind behind the scenes is atonement. ”
"What do you mean by the benefactor?"
"I hope Master Huiguang can help me identify the crimes committed by Fu Zhenqing back then. He killed his concubine, why can he live without worry? One report and one report, now is the time for Fu Zhenqing to get retribution. ”
Huiwen knew that Huiguang's heart knot was like this.
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "If it were someone else, I might not take you there." But you are the daughter of the victim at that time, and I think my brother wants to meet you too. ”
After speaking. Huiwen led the way with a lantern in front of him, and took Fu Jiao and Zhao Hao to the grassy Siguo Cliff. Before thinking about the cliff, there is a small courtyard with some vegetables and fruits. It was already dark, the hut was still lit, and the low sound of chanting could be heard.
"Senior brother, senior brother."
Huiwen stepped forward to call the door, and after a while, the door opened, and a white-bearded monk in his sixties, wearing a simple gray monk's robe, opened the door tremblingly.
"Huiwen? What are you doing here? ”
"Senior brother, someone is looking for you......"
Huiwen stepped out of the way, and Fu Jiao and Zhao Hao walked over. Fu Jiao smiled at Huiguang, "I have admired the name for a long time, Master Huiguang." ”
"You ......"
Huiguang couldn't hide his doubts.
Fu Jiao reported her identity: "I am Aunt Rong's daughter." She paused, "Master Huiguang won't forget who Aunt Rong is, right?" ”
Huiguang's expression was instantly moved.
After a long time, he sighed and asked abruptly, "Are you here for revenge?" ”
"It's not."
Fu Jiao glanced at Huiwen, and Huiwen immediately expressed Fu Jiao's intention. He knew that his senior brother had been obsessed with this matter for so many years, and he finally found an opportunity to atone for his sins, so he couldn't miss it, and persuaded him vigorously: "Senior brother, you can't be wrong again and again, since the female donor has come to the door, you should help her uncover the truth of the year." ”
Huiguang is in a dilemma.
He shook his head, "This kind of ghost and god thing is not so easy to condemn. Today's saints don't believe in this, so they rashly asked me to identify the imperial court officials......"
Fu Jiao was a little angry.
She scolded angrily: "It seems that Master Huiguang doesn't want to get into trouble. The so-called atonement is not a performance for people to see. ”
"Not really."
Huiguang was obviously a little anxious, "If the donor has a good plan, the poor monk is willing to help." ”
"As long as Master Huiguang goes to the capital with me, I have my own way to make Fu Zhenqing confess."
Don't forget, she also has a mantra talisman!
She swore an oath, and Huiguang also believed seven or eight points and agreed to act as a witness.
"It's just ......" Huiguang suddenly wondered, "Donor, you are young, how did you know that the incident was related to the poor monk back then?" ”
Fu Jiao smiled, "My mother told me." (End of chapter)
