Chapter 277: Release
Ma Jia and the soldiers of the special operations battalion said goodbye to Wang Tong and others in the suburbs.
Wang Tong and Hu Yunfei and their entourage returned to the palace safely. Gathered with Wu Meier, He Qilan, Bai Fu, and Lin Chuchu, everyone talked about family life and current affairs.
Wang Daodao: "Mei'er, the fox king Hu Mingzhi sincerely reformed his ways, devoted himself to practicing Buddhism, deeply felt the sins of the past, and wanted to come out to do things to atone for his sins, what do you think?"
Wu Mei'er smiled at Hu Yunfei, who was looking at her expectantly and smiled at her.
Wu Meier said: "The king has the final say. But how are you going to place him?"
Wang Daodao: "I plan to make him the vice president of the Religious Association, let him handle the national Buddhist affairs, and work with Tao Yuan to handle the national religious affairs." ”
Wu Mei'er said: "It is very appropriate for the king to deal with it like this! But after all, he is a former king, will he be wronged by such an arrangement?"
Hu Yunfei said: "Don't be wronged! My brother has changed his past mistakes and is willing to serve the country, please give him a chance." ”
Wu Mei'er said: "The fox king has a good sister! I hope he will not live up to our hard work." Now that the king has made up his mind, why don't you go to visit the fox king with Sister Yunfei as soon as possible, and let him know the good news as soon as possible!"
Wang Daodao: "The lady is reasonable. We'll go back as soon as we go!"
Lin Chuchu said: "Master, you just came back and are leaving, I want to go with you?"
Wang Daodao: "Okay!"
Bai Fu wanted to speak and stopped, and stayed.
Seeing Wang Tong and the three of them walking away, He Qilan said: "Sister Mei'er, the king let the former king go so easily, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, will it cause bad results?"
Wu Mei'er said: "Although we are now full of wings, we have not long been established in the country, and we still accept Zen to win the country, and we can neither reuse the former king, nor can we chill the hearts of the fox clan." It would be appropriate to arrange a noble job for him. Now release the fox king, first, you can attract the fox clan's dissidents, and second, you can also test the fox king's intentions to see if he is sincere and obedient, or is he plotting against evil? Sister Qilan, you need to be more careful. Baifu, our safety is in your hands. ”
Bai Fu smiled: "Sisters, don't worry! The three of us work together, and there are not many people who can hurt us." ”
Wang Tong and the three of them came to an antique temple, and wrote three Wei tablets in Panlong Temple, and the little monk ran to inform the abbot.
After a while, the abbot, dressed in a robe with white eyebrows, walked out.
Master Abbot Yuantong said: "Amitabha! When a noble person comes to visit, the old man has missed the welcome, and please forgive the sin!
Wang Daodao: "It's really a pleasure to disturb the master's retreat!"
Master Yuantong said: "Walking, living, sitting and lying down are all practice, and doing things is also practice, so why bother? The king can come to the temple, it is really my honor! I don't know what is the important matter here today?"
Wang Channel: "The master's Dharma is profound, and this king admires it." I heard that Wuming sincerely repented and had the heart to enter the world to atone for his sins, so I came to visit. ”
Master Yuantong said: "Enlightenment is clear and intensive, and he has realized a lot of truths! However, his six roots are not pure, and it is indeed not suitable to stay in the monastery for a long time." ”
Wang Daodao: "What do you say?"
Master Yuantong said: "He has recently become obsessed with a game, and after reciting the scriptures, he went to play the game!
Hu Yunfei smiled and said, "That's a celebration of victory." That is, it is good luck, eating chicken at night! It is not really eating chicken. ”
Master Yuantong said: "Buddhism avoids meat food. If a monk always asks to eat chicken, it will inevitably lead people to misunderstand! It is not good for others and for himself. ”
Wang Daodao: "The master's precepts are strict, and this king admires it! Jigong once said, 'Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart', I don't know what the master thinks?"
Master Yuantong said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed! Our cultivation is not high, and we can't reach that realm." You can only 'be a Bodhi tree, your heart is like a mirror, you can always wipe it diligently, and you can't stir up dust'! Desires are endless, and once opened, they will cause endless troubles! Killing for the sake of the desire of the tongue has always been disliked by the Buddhists and fears to create infinite sins!"
Wang Daodao: "Animals are life, plants are also life, and the 84,000 microscopic insects in the water are also life. If we don't kill, we will starve ourselves. ”
Master Yuantong said: "Sin, sin, my Buddha is merciful, for the sake of survival, there is no sin and no evil!"
A few people walked and talked, through the wall, the arch, the courtyard, to a side hall. Outside the hall, a group of fox soldiers was guarding.
They shouted in unison: "I have seen the king, I have seen the princess, I have seen the abbot!"
Wang Daodao: "No courtesy!" and walked in with Master Yuantong, Hu Yunfei, and Lin Chuchu. Inside, there was a fox-eared monk, dressed in a light yellow monk's robe, knocking on a wooden fish and reciting scriptures in a low voice.
Master Yuantong said: "Wuming, cultivation is not a moment! The old man is visiting, you should entertain him well!" Then he turned to Wang Daodao: "King, the old man still has mundane things to deal with, so he will retire first! What do you need, just let the monks outside the door inform the old man!"
Wang Daodao: "Thank you, Master Yuantong!"
Master Yuantong said, "The king is polite!" and then turned around and walked out.
Wu Ming, the former king Hu Mingzhi, got up and stood up. He saluted Wang Tong and said, "The little monk Wuming, I have seen the king, the princess and the little benefactor!"
Wang Daodao: "The fox king is here, have you ever been wronged, or what is the need, say it, this king is the master for you?"
Wuming said: "Since I met the king, there is no fox king in the world, only a sincere and repentant Wuming." The little monk has never been wronged. The abbot and the monks were very kind to me, and they taught me the principles of being a human being and the Buddhist scriptures, which benefited me a lot, and I felt that I had sinned deeply in the past! If possible, I would like to go out and do something to make up for my past mistakes. ”
Wang Daodao: "Very good! Wuming, since you sincerely repent, this king will appoint you as the vice president of the Religious Association and assist President Tao Yuan in handling national religious affairs!"
Wu Ming was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, the king! The little monk must go all out and do this job well." ”
With a wave of his hand, Wang Tong lifted the seal on Wuming's body.
Wu Ming felt that his strength was slowly recovering, and glanced at Wang Tong with a complicated expression, and said, "The king is so relieved of me, not afraid of my deception?"
Wang Daodao: "You and I are all a family! What if you cheat? As long as you don't do things that anger the heavens and people, the world is so big, you can go!"
Wu Ming laughed and said: "What a family! What a world to go to! I really serve the king now! The king is open-minded, and it is really very accessible! It seems that my sister has found a good husband!"
Wang Daodao: "You brothers and sisters must have a lot to say, so we won't bother you." Chu Chu, let's go out and wait for them. ”
Wang Tong took Lin Chuchu out of the side hall and came to the courtyard.
Hu Yunfei said: "Brother, I have wronged you! It's all useless for my sister, so you can only be released now!"
Wu Ming said: "You can't be blamed for this! Even though I wanted to take a shortcut and take the wrong road at that time, so that they would have a reason to strike! Even if we didn't take the wrong road, our country would not last long." Because the country has long coveted us, I don't have the ability of your husband to wipe out hundreds of nuclear bombs.
This is the best result, I have escaped a catastrophe and picked up a life, and you have expanded your territory and continued to grow and develop. Seeing that my people are getting stronger and stronger, and the population is increasing, it is much better than in my hands! People are quickly coming out of the war and living a happier life! Since then, I have gradually admired my brother-in-law. It also rested the psychology of regaining the throne. ”
Hu Yunfei said: "This is very good! You are all my relatives, I don't want you to be hostile and make me embarrassed!"
Wu Ming said: "I understand your situation! Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." ”
Hu Yunfei said: "Brother, do you still have a seal on your body?"
Wu Ming said: "No! my brother-in-law is a good person to the end." ”
Hu Yunfei said: "Great! Now there are many masters in the world, and there are killers who are attacking us." I'll be relieved if you regain your strength! Let's get out quickly! Everything is arranged for you. As long as you report to the religious association, someone will help you with all the formalities!"
Wu Ming smiled: "Sure enough, it's a girl who is outgoing! My brother was just free, and you are going to arrange for me to work for my brother-in-law!"
Hu Yunfei stomped her feet and said angrily: "Brother." If you talk nonsense again, I won't care about you, let you be here with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha!"
Wu Ming smiled: "Let's go out, lest my brother-in-law wait for a long time!"
Wang Tong and the others went to say goodbye to Master Yuantong, and the soldiers guarding also withdrew. In the end, Hu Yunfei and the soldiers guarding took Wuming to the religious association.
Wang Tong and Lin Chuchu went back first.
Wu Mei'er said: "Is it done? Why didn't Yunfei come back with you!"
Wang Daodao: "She has to help his brother deal with some chores, and she may come back later." ”
Wu Mei'er asked Lin Chuchu, "Chuchu, is the temple fun?"
Lin Chuchu said: "It's not fun at all! It's just a big house with many bald heads." The scenery is good, but the hall is full of smoke, which destroys the artistic conception. ”
Wu Mei'er said with a smile: "That's incense! It is a testimony of their prosperity." Do you see the former king? Do you think he's a good guy or a bad guy?"
Lin Chuchu said: "I saw it! I don't know! Master let him go, he should be a good person!"
Wu Mei'er said solemnly: "Wrong! You can't easily trust others, you must judge with your own heart! You must understand that the enemy of your enemy can be a friend." A friend of a friend, possibly an enemy!"
Lin Chuchu said: "Why?"
Wu Mei'er said: "Children talk about good and bad! Adults talk more about interests! Sometimes when interests are entangled, they have to do something against their will! Therefore, what adults do may not be right, but they are the most in line with the current environment! The enemy of the enemy has a common enemy with us, so we can become friends."
A friend's friend, who is not your friend, may not have anything to do with you. Your friend is a circle that seems to connect you together, but in fact you are blank and you don't know anything about each other. So a friend's friend betrays you without any psychological burden. ”
Lin Chuchu said: "Then can we trust our friends?"
Wu Meier said: "This has to be treated differently." Some friends are friends of life and death, and they can stick a knife in your ribs, and this kind of friend can be trusted, but it is difficult to get it; some friends can deepen their friendship by sending charcoal in the snow; some friends can be investigated and put on the cake; and some friends are dog meat friends who drink wine and eat meat, and they cannot be deeply friends.
But you have to remember that you have to be on guard. Even if it is a friend, there are those who bow their heads in front of interests or loved ones and betray you. Because apart from you, they have more important and dear family members. Sell you, and you can get great benefits.
So a friend, it's a precious and fragile friendship! Gaining is not necessarily a blessing, and losing is not necessarily a curse!"
