Chapter 5: Manjushri Turns into a Traitor (4)
The red-clothed monk heard the words of his junior brother, and his heart was also shocked, the "ghost shadow" Fang Liang was the Yun'an Gang Suzaku Hall Ghost Character Banner Envoy, he naturally knew this. It's just that the helm of the Yun'an Gang is far away in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the people of the Vermilion Bird Hall have always rarely set foot in Yunnan, and at this time, the second most ranked ghost flag envoy among the seven flags of the Vermilion Bird Hall suddenly appeared, which was really unexpected.
However, now that everyone has already moved, there is no room for maneuver, and the red-clothed monk has no choice but to catch the move of the Ye Sect Master. Seeing that the four of them were inseparable, Gu Qingxian and the others couldn't intervene at all. However, although the two of them were defeated by Dongfang Xin, it was more than enough to clean up those little minions in Guan Suoling.
After the two of them dispersed all the men brought by Dongfang Xin, Lin Yuetong pulled Gu Qingxian and walked in the direction of the mountain. Since Gu Qingxian saw Lin Yuetong again, all her thoughts were on her. At this time, although she didn't know her intentions, she immediately followed. Without waiting for Gu Qingxian to speak, Lin Yuetong asked first: "Do you know those two?" Gu Qingxian said: "I don't know those four people." Lin Yuetong smiled, and then said, "That's strange, how could the Phantom Cloud Gate and the Vermilion Bird Hall suddenly appear here?"
Gu Qingxian said in his heart: "Although I don't know them, they are the Yun'an Gang. It's normal for the four classes to support each other, and it's not like I'm deliberately hiding it from her. Then he thought: "If she directly asks me if I am from the Yun'an Gang, how should I answer?" A voice immediately jumped out of his head: "Naturally, she is telling the truth, she is not a bad person, as long as she asks, I must tell the truth." Gu Qingxian was thinking about it, and the two of them had already returned to the mountain. Lin Yuetong stopped in place and looked around, Gu Qingxian said, "What's wrong?" Lin Yuetong said, "Why are those monks gone?"
Gu Qingxian was stunned for a moment: "What are you looking for that group of monks?" Lin Yuetong winked at Gu Qingxian: "While the old monk is not there, let's smash his old nest." Gu Qingxian didn't dare to look directly at her, so he only nodded again and again: "Then let's go to the temple to find it again." ”
When the two returned to the temple, there were many more people burning incense and worshipping the Buddha than before. Seeing this, Gu Qingxian said to Lin Yuetong: "Let's keep this temple for the time being, there are so many people in the temple, I am afraid of hurting the innocent." ”
Lin Yuetong said with a smile: "Are you the head of a wooden fish? I didn't say that I wanted to set fire to the temple, let's get back the money that everyone was defrauded of, and then drive away the group of fake monks." Gu Qingxian patted his head: "This is a good idea." As he spoke, he suddenly saw a bald head emerging from behind a Buddha statue in front of him, and a pair of thief's eyes were staring at the two of them.
"There!" Gu Qingxian stepped out to chase, but there were too many pilgrims, so it was easy to squeeze over, and the peeping monk was long gone. Lin Yuetong saw that searching everywhere was fruitless, and said to himself: "It's a pity that this temple has never been to me before, I don't know if there are any other places missing?" This sentence reminded Gu Qingxian. Turning back to the crowd, Gu Qingxian saw Mrs. Liu kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin at a glance.
It was said that Chi Chenzhi kowtowed and got up, but Gu Qingxian's figure was gone, and he was only pulled by his grandmother and not allowed to leave. When he was bored, he saw Gu Qingxian and a beautiful woman coming back again, and he was busy asking with a look in his eyes.
Gu Qingxian nodded at Chi Chenzhi, stepped forward to help Mrs. Liu and said, "Grandma, why are you still here?" When Mrs. Liu saw Gu Qingxian, she reproached her: "You kid, the Bodhisattva hasn't left yet, how can you leave first, come back and make up for it." Gu Qingxian said: "This is natural, natural. However, a friend of mine is also the first time to come to this temple, and these Bodhisattvas have been worshiped one by one, I don't know if there are any Bodhisattvas who have not been seen elsewhere, so let's also kowtow, so as not to make the Bodhisattva strange. Mrs. Liu saw that he was "sincere to the Tao", so she said: "Well, there is still a statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva enshrined behind it, if I didn't take it, you would definitely be difficult to find." It just so happened that Chen'er also went to worship. "Then lead the way and lead the people to find Manjushri.
The Manjushri Bodhisattva was enshrined in the Wenshu Monastery behind the temple, and everyone walked through the front hall, passed through several side halls, and then passed through an empty place to see.
Mrs. Liu said to the three of them: "This is the Wenshu Monastery in front, you can go in by yourself, I will go back to celebrate Sanniangniang's birthday." You must remember to pay three respects and three prostrations, and do not neglect the Bodhisattva. Gu Qingxian nodded hurriedly yes, and when Mrs. Liu walked away, she said to Chi Chen: "Brother Chi, we still have important things to do, you go back to protect your grandmother first, and wait for my news tonight." Chi Chenzhi agreed.
Gu Qingxian and Lin Yuetong walked into the Wenshu Monastery together, and the courtyard was empty and deserted, and there was no trace of people. In the center of the temple is a statue of Manjushri, one of the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism. When the two looked carefully, they saw that the Bodhisattva's whole body was purple and gold, shaped like a boy, with five hair crowns, holding a vajra sword in his right hand, a blue lotus flower in his left hand, and a vajra prajna sutra treasure was placed on the flower. The mount is a golden lion.
There are two columns of pillars erected on the left and right of the statue, the left is written: The sword slashes the three thousand demons in the world, and the right is written: Wisdom determines the millions of worries in life.
Gu Qingxian had read the relevant scriptures at the top of Guiyun Peak, and knew that Manjushri Bodhisattva often served Shakyamuni Buddha with Puxian Bodhisattva, and was the head of all Shakyamuni Buddha's Bodhisattva disciples, so he was also called Prince Manjushri. The image of Manjushri is the image of a sword riding a lion, representing the sharpness of his method, holding the vajra sword in his right hand to cut off all the troubles of sentient beings, and placing the Prajna Sutra on the lotus flower in his left hand, representing the thought of wisdom. The blue lotus flower represents purity and innocence, and the flower is decorated with the Prajna Sutra, as a symbol of wisdom and compassion, and the golden lion on the throne awakens the addicted beings with the fearless roar of the lion. Gu Qingxian saw the statue of Manjushri in person now, but he always felt a little strange.
Lin Yuetong walked around the house a few times, but still couldn't get results. Slightly disappointed at the moment, he said: "It doesn't seem to be here, let's go." Gu Qingxian was silent, only staring at the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Lin Yuetong said: "Is there anything wrong with this Bodhisattva?" Gu Qingxian said: "I have seen the portrait of Manjushri in the scriptures, and it seems to be a little different from this one. Lin Yuetong said: "I think this statue is a little weird except for the sword in his hand, and there is nothing else. Gu Qingxian's mind flashed, and he clapped his hands and said, "By the way, it's this sword that is wrong." Manjushri's sword was originally pointing to the upper right, but this image is pointing to the lower right. When I looked carefully, I saw that the place where Manjushri pointed at the sword was the word "10,000" on the right pillar.
This discovery suddenly made Gu Qingxian overjoyed, and immediately took three steps and made two steps, reached out to press the direction of the word "10,000" on the pillar, the pillar looked integrated, but in fact it was the hub of the entire organ, Gu Qingxian touched the switch here, only to hear a loud sound of "dang!" The floor in front of the Bodhisattva statue appeared a crack, and then slowly opened, revealing a spacious tunnel.
Gu Qingxian and Lin Yuetong looked at each other and smiled, and went down to the tunnel together. Lin Yuetong hadn't yet gained a firm foothold, when she suddenly heard the sound of a golden blade breaking through the air, and a big knife slashed straight at her.
