Ao Bai heard that someone actually broke into the prison to rob the prison, the martial arts of the person who came were extremely high, the gods and ghosts were unconscious, no one was injured, came and went as if walking on the ground, looking at his acupoint technique, he was the top master in the rivers and lakes, so skilled, when he arrived in prison, he did not save a person, where would he think that Li Shiyuan and his wife were determined to die together, and never gave up.

While Ao Bai was puzzled, he was afraid of long nights and dreams. On this day, Ao Bai said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, someone broke into the prison a few days ago and almost rescued the rebels. Kangxi remembered that he and Li Shiyuan were sympathetic to each other in the main hall, and his wife was about to give birth, which was both contrary to heaven and unpopular, so he hesitated for a while.

Ao Bai shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the evil work must be exhausted, you, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, such a woman's kindness, make the ministers extremely disappointed." In a fit of anger, he called Kangxi "you", which was really disrespectful.

Kangxi was furious in his heart, remembered Xiaozhuang's words, and had to hold back his anger and said: "Ao Shaobao blames it. I'm young and inexperienced, and you're right to warn them that these two should be executed immediately. Ao Bai was proud in his heart and said: "That's right, as a king, you must not be soft-hearted." Please ask the emperor to immediately issue an edict to behead the two rebels at the entrance of the vegetable market and show it to the public, so that those restless Han people can see what the fate of the Qing Dynasty will look like. Kangxi had no choice but to send a decree to behead Li Shiyuan and his wife on the third day of the next month.

When the news came to prison, Li Shiyuan and Wu Qingluan glanced at each other and smiled indifferently. At this moment, life and death make no difference to them. Son Li Xiangru has entrusted everything to Yushu Daoist, Li Shiyuan knows that Yushu's martial arts are world-famous, and he is the head of Wudang, what he promised will definitely be done, and he will definitely be able to do it, so the couple has nothing to worry about, and they have nothing to worry about, so they are very calm, and only quietly wait for the day of execution.

During this period of time in prison, Li Shiyuan had already told Wu Qingluan clearly his experience, including his interesting stories in the palace and his later kingship in Guangxi, and Wu Qingluan listened to it with relish. Li Shiyuan was born in a wealthy family, he has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child, and he has read a lot, in addition to the way to govern the country, he also likes to study Buddhist scriptures, and this day he told Wu Qingluan a story of Buddhist scriptures.

This story is the story of the Buddha cutting meat to feed the eagle. Shakyamuni once went out and happened to encounter a hungry eagle chasing a poor pigeon.

The pigeon said to the eagle, "Leave me alone! You are now preying, and if you miss me, there is another one;

The eagle said, "I don't know what you say, but I'm starving now, and I can't live without you." It's not easy for everyone to live in this world, and I won't chase after me until I am cornered. ”

When Shakyamuni heard of compassion, he reached out and held the dove and hid it in his bosom. The eagle was so angry that he had no choice but to reason with Shakyamuni: "Shakyamuni, you are so merciful and merciful that you saved the life of this pigeon, can you bear to let my eagle starve to death?"

Shakyamuni said, "I can't bear to hurt this innocent pigeon, and I don't want you to starve to death in vain." There is a way that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell. Shakyamuni then took out a balance and placed the pigeon on one side and the flesh cut from himself on the other. The dove looked small, but no matter how much Shakyamuni cut it or how much flesh it cut, it didn't seem to be able to hold its weight.

When Shakyamuni cut off the last piece of meat, the scales were finally balanced!

Heaven and earth changed color, and the true Buddha was born.

Wu Qingluan didn't understand what he understood, so he asked, "What does this mean?" Li Shiyuan said: "This is a spirit of self-sacrifice. It is the most basic Zen principle of Buddhism. Since then, Li Shiyuan often explained the truth of Buddhist scriptures to her, Wu Qingluan felt unusually calm when he listened, and the child in his belly was much quieter, Wu Qingluan asked Li Shiyuan to tell him the story of Buddhist scriptures every day. Over time, Wu Qingluan became obsessed with Buddhism. On this day, Li Shiyuan first recited a "Heart Sutra" for her, and then told her a story in the "Hundred Parables", about a man suffering from a hunchback and asking a doctor to heal. The doctor applied some ghee to his back, then sandwiched him between two planks, placed him on the ground, and pressed him down hard to straighten him. The man was in such pain that his eyes came out, but his hunchback was still not cured.

Wu Qingluan laughed when he heard this, and said, "This person is really stupid. Since the couple were captured, Li Shiyuan saw her smile for the first time, and Li Shiyuan knew that Wu Qingluan really looked down on the boundary between life and death at this time. I couldn't help but feel relieved.

Wu Qingluan said: "Shi Yuan, the story on this "Hundred Parables" is really interesting, you can tell me another one." Li Shiyuan said: "You like to listen, I'll tell you another one." There was a famous musician, and the emperor invited him to play and allowed him to give him a thousand silver coins. When the performance was finished, the emperor did not give him any money. The musician asked the emperor for it, and the emperor decided to get rid of it, so he said to the musician, 'You will play music for me, but it will make me happy, and I will give you money only to make you happy once.' Wu Qingluan said: "This emperor has gone back on his word, how can he be a dignified emperor and deceive a musician." ”

Li Shiyuan said: "This story is not understood in this way, this story is explained by the concept of Buddhism, and the metaphor is that the so-called happiness in all the worlds is actually illusory. If you don't understand this truth, then you can only have troubles on your own. Wu Qingluan said: "It seems that this Buddhism is broad and profound, my Taoism is still shallow, and I still need to learn more." ”

Ao Bai was humiliated by Li Shiyuan in front of Kangxi in the court before, and he was angry and hateful in his heart, thinking that the main couple would be killed soon, why don't I humiliate them while they are not dead, and be ashamed of the snow day, he is known as the first warrior in Manchuria, but he is extremely narrow-minded, and he will be repaid every time. Thinking of this, he didn't want others to know, so he only brought an entourage, got on his horse and went straight to the prison.

Li Shiyuan and his wife waited peacefully in prison for the sentence to come, who would have thought that before he died, Ao Bai would not let go of his wife and his wife, and he would definitely torture his wife before stopping. When Li Shiyuan was preaching to Wu Qingluan, he suddenly heard the sound of the cell door, and in the sound of shoes, Ao Bai broke in violently, and the jailers saw Ao Shaobao suddenly coming, they trembled with fright, and they led Ao Bai to the cell of Li Shiyuan and his wife, Ao Bai glanced at a few jailers and said: "You guys get out of the prison for me, don't get in the way here!" Several jailers were afraid of him like a tiger, and no one wanted to stay by his side, wishing that he would say this, and they all responded "yes" at the moment , scrambled out of the cell, and then closed the door tightly.
