Chapter 54: Questions and Answers
Hengyuan frowned, feeling that something was wrong, from the time he reported his name, the expressions of the two gatekeepers were very strange.
After the transmission, there was a kind of hostility that seemed to be there.
"Tired to lead the way!" Hengyuan lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes.
Led by the gatekeeper, we walked through the front yard and the main building and arrived at the backyard.
Under the eaves, in the corridor, stood a middle-aged monk, dressed in an ascetic robe that was easy to trek, with a round face and fat earlobes.
looked at Hengyuan expressionlessly.
"Qinglong Temple Hengyuan?" "Monk Jingchen looked at Hengyuan with sharp eyes.
"It's the poor monk. ”
Monk Hengyuan was also examining the pure dust, and by this step, he had realized that this group of fellow disciples from the Western Regions had a vague hostility towards him.
Hengyuan didn't know what this hostility was about, and he knew that the two sides had not been in contact before.
"Monks don't speak!" said the monk Jingchen in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Hengyuan's most intuitive feeling is that the alarm bell is ringing in his ears, he can't lie, and answer honestly.
"It's the poor monk. Hengyuan clasped his hands together and said calmly.
The pure dust monk was silent.
He had just used the ability of the lawyer, and he could confirm that the monk who claimed to be Hengyuan was not lying, unless the other party was also a lawyer, and he could change the precepts on his own.
The question is, if the person in front of you is Hengyuan, who is that just now?
What is his purpose?
Jingchen carefully reviewed the conversation, and was shocked to find that the other party had come for Sangbo's seal.
In this case, the nature of the matter is not as simple as pretending to be Hengyuan, it is a matter of demon monks, and he must be cautious.
"That warrior monk can also roar as a lion in Buddhism, even if it is not Hengyuan, he must also be a person in Buddhism........ The person in front of him, even if it is really Hengyuan, is his arrival really just for visiting, and has no other intentions?"
All kinds of thoughts flashed, and the Jingchen monk immediately made a decision, pointed at Hengyuan, and shouted: "Take it!"
Immediately, two monks wearing cyan robes stepped forward and pressed Hengyuan's shoulders.
Bang!
Hengyuan's qi machine shook, and easily shook the two monks out.
In the corridor, the Jingchen monk pinched the seal with both hands and chanted: "The body can't move, the hands can't move, and the mouth can't speak." ”
The words fell, and golden ripples like water ripples rippled in the handprints, gently and firmly sweeping across Hengyuan.
In an instant, Hengyuan seemed to be in a quagmire, except that his mind was still running, and his body had lost control.
"Bang Bang Bang ........"
Air ripples exploded around Hengyuan's body, like small fireworks.
He was defying the precepts with brute force, trying to break out of the mire.
Jingchen frowned, this monk who claimed to be Hengyuan was stronger than he expected. I couldn't help but shout: "Take it quickly!"
A few warrior monks, several mages and Zen masters rushed out of the room, the latter two had low combat effectiveness, and they had to rely on the warrior monks to take people.
But Hengyuan broke through the "precepts" before the warrior monks surrounded him, dragged out the afterimage at a very fast speed, and pounced on the pure dust monk.
Hengyuan was angry and wanted to teach this fellow disciple from the west a lesson.
At this moment, a figure stood in front of Jingchen, it was a little monk Jingsi wearing a cyan robe and delicate eyebrows.
He looked at Hengyuan with a calm expression and slapped his palm.
When the palm momentum first started, there was no abnormality, but in the process, a little gold paint opened from the palm of the palm, quickly covering the palm and arm, and then the whole person was like a gold lacquer sculpture.
While!
The palm happened to be pushed on Hengyuan's chest, and the latter flew out as if he had been hit in the chest by a siege log, breaking through the wall of the inner courtyard and crashing through the wall of the main building.
The post guards in the post station were all frightened to death, and they hid in the house and shivered, not daring to come out.
This group of monks just moved in with people, and in a few days, wouldn't they have to demolish the post station?
"Ahem......."
With a faint cough, Monk Hengyuan walked out and stared at Jingsi without speaking.
Jingchen said lightly: "You stay at the post station, and when Uncle Du Er's comes back, I have something to ask you." ”
Hengyuan bowed: "Okay." ”
At the end of the word "good", he turned into an afterimage again, and pounced fiercely, but the target was not to clean the dust, but to clean the mind.
Jingsi, who exuded a metallic texture on the surface of his body, raised his hand again and slapped it towards Hengyuan with one palm, this time he didn't hit, but let Hengyuan intercept the arm joint, and the casserole-sized fist connection continued to smash on the face, making a loud sound of "dangdang".
Jing Si, who was hit in the face, hit Hengyuan with a head hammer, and after the two crackled and exchanged more than a dozen moves, Jing Si was countered again.
Hengyuan grabbed his wrist and let out a low roar, and an over-the-shoulder fall smashed Jingsi to the ground.
Rumble!
The green bricks laid in the yard were instantly blasted into the sky, and the ground cracked.
Hengyuan pressed his knee against Jing Si's throat, and his right fist turned into an afterimage, smashing his head again and again.
Dangdangdang........ It's like ringing a bell, and the sound is mixed with air waves, raging in every corner of the yard.
The tiles crackled and fell, the flower beds exploded, and the willows snapped........ It was a mess in an instant.
Jingsi had no ability to resist, so he could only cover his face and bear the blow.
"That's enough!" said in a deep voice.
Hengyuan stopped at this time, shook his bloody fist, and stared at Jing Si coldly: "It's just rough skin and thick meat." ”
At this point, the warrior monk's temper was finally vented.
Xu Qi'an has always misunderstood Hengyuan, thinking that the other party is a simple and gentle "Lu Zhishen", but in fact, Hengyuan is a thug wearing this thick and simple coat.
A person who is not short-tempered can't break into Pingyuanbo's Mansion at night and leave after killing people.
It's just that in Hengyuan's mind, Lord Xu is a good person who is kind and charitable, and such a good person deserves to be treated gently by himself.
After entering the post station, he was targeted everywhere and came with kindness, but he was met with a "stick", not to mention a lot of fire in his heart. In such a situation, this little monk came out to pretend to be forced, as if he was a local chicken and a dog, and he flew casually with one palm.
It turned out to be just a little monk with rough skin and thick meat.
.........
At the beginning of the Shen period, the sun of early spring hung warmly in the west.
Holding a Zen staff in his hand and wearing a golden and red robe, Master Du Er, as he walked home, he paused at the door of the post station, and then stepped out and came to the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard was in shambles, and the postmen stepped on ladders to go up to the roof and lay tiles. The warrior monks carried the sand and compacted the cracked ground.
One of the hardest working was a strange big bald head, and Master Du E looked at it a few times, but did not speak.
Master Doe was a thin old monk with dark skin, his face was full of wrinkles, and his thin body was wrapped in a wide robe, which looked a little funny.
"Uncle Shi!"
The monk Jingchen came out of the house and conversed in the language of the Western Regions: "During your entry into the palace, something happened.......
Tell the true and false eternal history in detail to Master Du'e.
"Hengyuan has no power to fight back against Jingsi?"
Master Doe turned his head to look at Hengyuan, who was working hard.
"Yes," Jingchen nodded, and then added, "However, Senior Brother Jingsi is not injured, and the Diamond Sutra is not something that ordinary people can break. ”
There was pride in his tone.
Master Doe didn't say anything, but instead asked, "When Hengyuan first talked to you, did he say anything about the evil thing?" For example, he knew the roots of the evil thing, and he knew the information about the evil thing. ”
Jingchen recalled for a moment and shook his head: "He only said that the seal under Sangbo was related to Buddhism, and when he told the case, he said that he had seen the severed hand lodged on his junior brother Henghui."
"Uncle Shi, this matter can actually be verified, just call Hengyuan from outside to come over and question. ”
Doe asked again, "He really didn't reveal the slightest bit of evil information to induce you to reveal more inside information?"
Jingchen shook his head: "No." ”
Master Du Er said "um": "I know who he is, you go to the Yamen now, find the organizer Xu Qi'an, I have something to ask him." ”
.............
Xu Qi'an came out of the hook bar, his whole body was fluttering, he felt that his bones were crispy, and he was enjoying the horses and chickens while watching the drama and listening to the music, this kind of day was really free.
In an hour, the girls in the hook bar changed batch after batch, came in with a smile like a flower, and went out with trembling hands.
"It's a pity that the girls in the hook bar are selling seafood and not professional massage, and their level is still poor. In this era, there are Qinglou, there are teaching workshops, there are hooks, and there are fewer foot bath shops and massage parlors, which is a pity. ”
At this point, it has already been dispersed, there is no need to go to the yamen again, Xu Qi'an hired a carriage on the side of the road and returned to Xu's mansion.
"Da Lang, you can be regarded as back, someone from the Yamen is looking for you, and you have been waiting in the house for a long time, and you have drunk two pots of tea. When the porter saw Da Lang coming back, he hurried to catch up.
The yamen is looking for me for something....... Xu Qi'an pondered for a while, guessing that it was people from Western Buddhism who were looking for him.
When I entered the living room, I saw a black-clothed official sitting on a chair drinking tea, and his eyes frequently looked out.
"Oh, Lord Xu, you're back. ”
After countless looks, he finally saw Xu Qi'an's figure, and the black-clothed official was overjoyed and said, "If you don't come back, after the curfew, I can only stay in your mansion." ”
"What's the matter. Xu Qi'an went straight to the point.
"Not long ago, a Buddhist monk came to Yamen to look for you, but he didn't find it, so he went to see Wei Gong. Duke Wei sent me to wait for you at the mansion. The black-clad officer said.
It's just a monk, Wei Yuan can be treated so solemnly, what kind of thing is he, I am dignified in the Central Plains, when will I be able to stand up, and my breath is cold.
Xu Qi'an said expressionlessly: "I know, I'll see you later." ”
The black-clothed official breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "Duke Wei heard that you have been wandering around recently, not waiting for dispatch in the yamen, and not patrolling the streets, he was very angry, saying that your three-month fortune is gone. ”
........ This, Dad, there is something to discuss! Xu Qi'an's face froze.
Seeing off the black-clothed officials, Xu Qi'an remembered that his little mare was left in the yamen of the watchman, so he ordered someone to lead Xu Erlang's mount.
Xu Fu has three horses, which are Xu Pingzhi and Xu Dalang Erlang's mounts. A horse-drawn carriage for the use of female dependents when traveling.
Xu Xinnian heard that the eldest brother was back, so he hurriedly came out of the study and said worriedly: "Big brother, after you left today, those two people with malicious intentions came again. ”
"What?" Xu Qi'an didn't react for a while.
"A green-shirted swordsman, a monk who is more like a butcher. They came uninvited, saying that it was to congratulate them. Dad said that the visitors were guests, so he invited them into the house to eat and drink. ”
Xu Xinnian frowned and said, "I always feel that they look at me strangely. ”
Xu Qi'an remembered that when he saw Hengyuan in the afternoon, he seemed to have said that he had just come out of Xu's mansion for wine.
"Erlang, don't care about these nameless people, you are now Huiyuan, and your eyes are in the higher sky. Xu Qi'an didn't know how to comfort the little brother, and patted him on the shoulder:
"I'll lend me your mount, and I'll give it back to you tomorrow. ”
At this time, the subordinate brought the horse from the back door, and Hou was outside the gate, and Xu Qi'an immediately flashed.
When he came to Sanyang Post Station again, the sunset was already hanging in the west, and the evening sun was a magnificent golden red.
"You ........"
The two monks guarding the door knew that they had been deceived and stared at Xu Qi'an with unkind expressions.
"This official, Xu Qi'an, is the organizer of the Sambo case, and Master Du Er summoned me, so lead the way. Xu Qi'an handed over the reins with a smile.
The two monks guarding the door took a deep breath and controlled their anger, one took the reins, and the other made a "please" gesture.
As the gatekeeper monk entered the post station, he came to the inner courtyard.
It looks like there's just a fight........ Hengyuan also works here........ Sin and sin, I will be a good person in the future.
He bowed his head a little weakly, did not look at Monk Hengyuan, and entered a room under the guidance of the monk.
There were three monks in the room, and the one in the center was sitting on the top of the collapse, an old monk with a wrinkled face, and his thin body could not support the loose robe, which at first glance looked a little funny.
On the left and right are the pure dust and pure thoughts that have been met.
Jingchen stared at Xu Qi'an with an unkind expression.
"Master Do'er!" Xu Qi'an clasped his hands together and bowed.
The old monk returned the salute and said gently: "Why did Lord Xu pretend to be Hengyuan, a warrior monk of Qinglong Temple?"
Xu Qi'an was serious and replied, "I want to find out what is sealed under Sangbo." ”
The old monk squinted and looked at him silently. The calm and gentle gaze is like a body scanner.
In front of this old monk, Xu Qi'an didn't dare to have any inner drama, restrained his divergent thoughts, didn't let himself be cranky, and said:
"The Sangbo case was investigated by this official, and I found that there are many secrets in it, the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple was built on top of a large array, and evil things were sealed in the array. After the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple was blown up and the evil things got out of trouble, the official personally went into the water to investigate and found that the remaining stone pillars of the formation were engraved with Buddhist texts.
"At first, I thought that the seal under Sangbo was the previous generation of supervisors, but as the case progressed, with the appearance of Henghui, it turned out that what was sealed under Sangbo was a severed hand.
From this, the official speculated that the severed hand was related to Buddhism. But whether it is the prison or the royal family, they are very secretive about this.
"I, Xu Qi'an, have repeatedly solved big cases in Beijing, and there are no cases that I can't find. But this question was like a fish in my throat, which kept me awake at night and didn't think about tea and dinner. ”
Master Doe nodded slowly: "That's why you have the previous temptation?"
"Exactly!" Xu Qi'an said.
This statement has long been thought of when he pretended to be Hengyuan, he disguised himself as a "madman" who was obsessed with solving the case, and he was haunted by the origin of the severed hand and the secret hidden behind it.
So after the Western Regions mission entered Beijing, he pretended to be Hengyuan to come here to try.
There is nothing wrong with his temptation, all the questions are point-to-point, and he does not take the initiative to reveal any information about the Shenshu monk, fully playing the role of a host who only knows one and does not know the other.
Master Do'e smiled and said, "Lord Xu wants to know about the evil thing?"
Xu Qi'an was overjoyed, and appropriately revealed his desire for knowledge: "The master is willing to tell him?"
The thin old monk smiled and said, "It's okay, but you have to enter my Buddhism and become a disciple of the poor monk." ”
Roll the calf....... Xu Qi'an's face twitched, and he shook his head and refused: "This official cultivates martial arts, and he can't cultivate Buddhism anymore." ”
Master Du Er seemed to know that there would be such a reply, and said unhurriedly: "You can turn into a warrior monk." ”
You can turn into a warrior monk....... Warrior monks and martial artists really have the same end, my guess is right, the warrior monk system in Buddhism is prepared for "outer disciples".
A guess that Xu Qi'an had suppressed in his heart for a long time was confirmed.
What is the next grade of the eight-rank warrior monk?!
"Can you marry and have children?" he asked.
"Although a warrior monk does not have to keep the precepts, he cannot marry a wife and have children. It's not about practice, it's about the rules of Buddhism. Master Doe shook his head:
"Just like Buddhism, it is a monk, and so are monks. If you are a monk, how can you start a family? ”
Xu Qi'an looked regretful: "I yearn for Buddhism very much, but there are nine generations of single transmission in the family, hey...... It seems that I have no relationship with Buddhism, which is a big regret in my life. ”
Master Du Er was a little happy, but he didn't expect Xu Qi'an to be so friendly to Buddhism.
"If Lord Xu has anything to ask in the future, just come to the post station to ask, and if you can say it, the poor monk will tell you. You don't have to pretend to be a Buddhist disciple. ”
"This official knows his mistake. ”
Do'e nodded, and ordered Jingsi to give it away.
Waiting for Jingsi to send Xu Qi'an away and return to the room, Master Du Er said in a deep voice: "Summoning Hengyuan into the house." ”
"Yes!"
Clean dust went out to call people.
Oh, the dusty Hengyuan returned with the pure dust, and Master Du Er smiled and said: "Panshu calls me uncle, you are his disciple, so call me uncle ancestor." ”
In fact, there is no generational relationship between Buddhism in the Western Regions and Qinglong Temple, and before Jingchen was polite, he was commensurate with Xu Qi'an as a senior brother.
"Uncle Shizu. Hengyuan clasped his hands together.
Master Du Er bowed his head and asked, "Listen to Jingchen, that silver gong Xu Qi'an claims to have a good relationship with you?"
Hengyuan replied: "Yes." ”
"The previous misunderstandings were all caused by this person, and you never complained in your heart?" Master Du Er stared at Hengyuan.
"No matter what Master Xu does, the disciples can be tolerant and forgiving. "Hengyuan Road.
He owes No. 3 two lives and Xu Qi'an one life, these are great favors.
Doe bowed his head again: "What kind of man is he?" ”
