"We thought that this matter was about to be completely settled, but when the successor of the mansion, Lord Yin Chen, came to Guangwang Temple to worship incense, there was another moth. The old monk was full of sorrow, despondent vicissitudes, and said in a dumb voice, "Lord Chen was dusty, non-stop, all the way to Zhongtianfu to succeed him, just took office, and before he had time to rest, he came here to worship the Buddha and ask for a peaceful Chang'an." ”

"But who knew that Lord Chen, accompanied by the abbot of this temple, when the Buddha was incensed in this Daxiong Treasure Hall, the body of the previous Lord Yin Liu, who had been missing for a long time, fell from behind the golden body of the Buddha and fell in front of Lord Chen. Lord Chen was frightened by this drastic change, and almost fainted, and the abbot of our temple was panicked, I don't know why, and I don't know why Lord Liu's body appeared behind the Buddha statue!"

Shen Cuttlefish hurriedly asked, "You really don't know?" "We really don't know!" Hugh said that we don't know why Lord Liu's corpse appeared in this temple, and even with us monks who have no power to restrain chickens, it is impossible for us to sneak into the government to kidnap Lord Yin and kill him without leaving any trace of evidence!"

"There is some truth to this, but what about after that?" Bai Xing asked impatiently. The old monk replied, "After Lord Chen recovered, he put all the 120 monks in the temple in shackles and escorted them back to Zhongtianfu. We were originally people who fasted and recited the Buddha, but how could we endure this great punishment? Before we reached Zhongtianfu, there were infirm people who died on the way. ”

"After arriving at Zhongtian Mansion, Lord Chen immediately ascended to the court to inquire about the case, there was no evidence and no witnesses, just because the body of Lord Liu appeared in the Guangwang Temple, he was charged with killing the court officials, spreading rumors and demagoguery to confuse the people, and all the monks with one hundred and twenty lives were sentenced and convicted, the abbot refused to accept it, and was severely tortured by him, tortured severely, tortured into a confession, and finally had to admit this trumped-up charge......"

In order to avoid complications, Lord Chen immediately reported to the imperial court, and after obtaining approval, he ordered one hundred and twenty people to be pushed out of the city and all beheaded. On that day, the blood of one hundred and twenty innocent monks stained the mud in the south of the city red, and the heavy rain failed to wash it away for three days, and I was the only one left in the monastery......

Before the old monk finished speaking, she was interrupted by Bai Xing's tears, and she asked: "You said that all the monks were escorted back to Zhongtianfu and beheaded, why did you be the only one who survived? Therefore, I was not in the temple on the day Lord Chen entered the incense, so I escaped. When the old monk returned to the Guangwang Temple, it was already empty. ”

"It's really ridiculous, the absurd official did a ridiculous thing, indiscriminately and so ruthlessly, killing more than a hundred innocent lives, it's really innocent!" Bai Xing's tearful sword eyebrows were upside down, he was angry, and the chivalrous heart in his chest was spontaneously born, and he couldn't wait to rush to the Zhongtian Mansion immediately and kill the dog official who was careless about people's lives, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

But Pei Jingnian slowly walked to Bai Xing's tears, and when he saw the killing intent in Bai Xing's tears' eyes, he signaled her to calm down with his eyes, but Bai Xing's tears didn't care, so he had to say to him: "What evidence do you have to prove that your words are not to deceive us, how can we believe your family's words? What if this matter is really a crime committed by you, and Lord Chen is impartially enforcing the law?"

"The old monk dares to swear to the Buddha, there is no lie in this matter, if I deceive you young heroes, I will make the old monk die without a complete body!" The old monk turned to the golden body of the Buddha and bowed repeatedly, and said slowly. But Pei Jingnian was still a little puzzled, and then asked, "Then why did you kill us?"

The old monk turned his back to everyone and said: "When I returned to Guangwang Temple, I saw that it was so desolate and lonely, a mess, panicked, and disguised myself and mixed into Zhongtianfu City, and I tried hard to find out the ins and outs of this matter, but I had nowhere to go, so I had to return to Guangwang Temple." But when I saw that Lord Liu's body was still in the temple, I was afraid that Lord Chen would send someone back to search for it, and I couldn't sleep day and night, so I dealt with it a little, and the corpse was slow to decay in the severe winter, so I boiled it into a decoction with a unique herb and poured it into its body, so that its corpse would not rot and was hidden in the remote palace of the Heavenly King. ”

"The old monk also laid down the arrow rain mechanism and the door in the palace of the heavenly king, and the incense lit in the hall is not an ordinary thing, but it is used to confuse the mind and paralyze the nerves, which was originally used to deal with the officers and soldiers, I don't want you to trespass into the palace of the king of heaven, and found the corpse of Lord Liu, in order to prevent this from leaking out, I have to kill you and kill you. The old monk's tone was calm, his expression was sincere, but also sincere.

Bai Xing nodded tearfully and said, "In this way, it is reasonable." In that case, we will not pursue today's matter. Shen Cuttlefish looked at the arrow wound on the thigh that had been bandaged, and sighed lightly: "Hey, I was hit by an arrow for no reason, and I haven't reasoned yet." When the old monk heard this, he hurriedly got up and said to Shen Cuttlefish: "There is a good gold sore medicine in the temple, I will go and get some for this young man." ”

He was just about to leave, but was stopped by Pei Jingnian: "Master, slow down." The old monk was startled, retreated half a step, and asked respectfully: "What does this young man command?" Pei Jingnian then smiled and asked: "I still have some doubts in my heart, and I hope that the master will answer them." The old monk then said frankly: "Young man, please ask, the old monk must know everything, and he must say everything." ”

"Why don't you let Lord Liu's body be buried in the ground, but put it in the temple, isn't it eye-catching?" Pei Jingnian asked. The old monk replied without hesitation: "Don't hide the young man, even if it is buried in the soil, if the government wants to find it, it is easy to find it, so there is no difference between entering the earth for peace and placing it in the temple to worship with the golden body, here, although the people in the Buddhist sect quit the three precepts of greed, hatred and ignorance, but one hundred and twenty monks in my temple can not die in vain, although I am incompetent, but I can use this as bait, if those Chen adults still refuse to let go, back here, I can also die with him, which is regarded as revenge for my brothers." ”

Pei Jingnian nodded, and got a more satisfactory answer, so he raised his arm and let him go. Bai Xing smiled and teased: "It is worthy of being born in a fast hunt, the problem is to the point, and he is decisive and cautious." Pei Jingnian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." After all, we almost fell in his way, how can we not guard against it?"

After a while, the old monk returned with a small bottle, handed the medicine to Shen Cuttlefish, bowed deeply to everyone, and saluted: "This matter has been explained to you, if you don't believe it, you can go and investigate." It's just that the grievances in my temple are no longer revealed, and the 120 lives in the Guangwang Temple are all dead at the hands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials!

"It just so happens that we are going to Zhongtian Mansion, and it is not impossible to check it. It can be regarded as chivalrous and righteous, and the violence is peaceful. Bai Xing hugged his arms and smiled, looked at Shen Cuttlefish beside him with a reluctant expression, then pushed him with his elbow, and asked sharply, "What kind of expression do you have?"

Shen Cuttlefish shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to ......" After that, he leaned into Bai Xing's tearful ear and whispered, "It's just that if you want to investigate this matter thoroughly, I'm afraid that I will get into trouble with the official mansion again, and I will find my enemy!" Bai Xing's tearful eyes floated forward, sighed lightly, and said angrily: "Then you can go to find your enemy yourself, I will investigate my case, the well water does not violate the river water, but in case Zhongtianfu finds clues about the golden lotus, you must not ask me." ”

"What do you say...... Go and go, what's the big deal. Shen Cuttlefish had to compromise, in front of Bai Xing's tears, he couldn't take any advantage. The old monk shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, forget it, you can't fight the government, so you don't have to set yourself on fire for those of us." Bai Xing tearfully said: "Eliminating violence and peace, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and upholding justice are the things that our people in the rivers and lakes should do, but now that we have such grievances, how can we stand idly by? You can rest assured that this matter will not be found out, and I will never leave Zhongtian Mansion!"

After that, he looked back at Shen Cuttlefish, and asked with a smile: "Did you say, Shen Daxia?" Shen Cuttlefish nodded with a wry smile. Bai Xingxian looked at Mingjue and Pei Jingnian again, asking for their opinions. Mingjue sighed and said, "Amitabha, there is such a strange injustice in the world, if the Buddha sees this, he will definitely have mercy." ”

Pei Jingnian hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't decide, so he had to say: "It's up to the white girl to decide." It's just that I would like to advise you that this matter is sinister, more than auspicious, and by no means as simple as it seems. Bai Xing tearfully retorted to her: "The rivers and lakes are already dangerous, once you enter the rivers and lakes, you will not regret it!" The four of them decided to set off into the city early tomorrow morning, and they will temporarily rest in Guangwang Temple today. The old monk happily went to prepare a room for the four of them, everyone packed their bags and gathered together again, Pei Jingnian proposed to go and see the corpse of Lord Liu.

"The corpse should have rotted a long time ago, but there is a golden body method in my Buddhism, which is to wash the internal organs with a decoction made of hundreds of herbs, so that the corpse can be incorruptible and preserved for a long time. The old monk led the four people to the Heavenly King Palace, and this mechanism had to be activated outside the door, and the old monk had no intention of killing the four people, so he did not do anything.

lit the oil lamp in the main hall, the old monk held the lamp and waited aside, Pei Jingnian squatted in front of the corpse to check the cause of death, and the arrows that were originally full of body were also pulled out and piled aside.
