Chapter 9 Only for the Buddha
Outside the Lingshu Temple, under the ancient pine, a grass vine bloomed a big and gorgeous flower, the flower bloomed quickly, thanked quickly, and the flower was closed in less than half a pillar of incense.
"What's going on? This is the manifestation of the treasure tree, right?" Zeng Yiqi asked Sai Zhuge .
"Count. It seems that you sincerely begged me and Yue'er to be safe just now! a little sincere," Sai Zhuge smiled, "Let's go, go back to sleep!"
"Yes, go and call Sanqi and they all come to make a wish! It turns out that this ancient pine is a treasure tree. I'm going to tell the people in the temple!"
"But don't, they won't believe it's a treasure tree!" said Sai Zhuge to stop him.
Zeng Yiqi could not listen to it, and when he ran to the temple, he called the cripple Gong and Sanqi, saying that he saw the treasure tree blooming. This is good, the temple is lively, and everyone lights lanterns to go to Komatsu to make a wish.
But where will this ancient pine bloom?
It was until the fifth watch, and Sanqi still pulled Zeng Yiqi to confront him!
"Do you say it's this ancient pine?" Sanqi asked Zeng Yiqi in front of everyone.
"yes?"
"Tell me clearly, how did it bloom just now?"
"I just sat in front of it and made a wish, made a thousand times, and then waited next to it, and after a while, the flowers bloomed," Zeng Yiqi explained, where would everyone believe!
"I've made promises 10,000 times, why hasn't this flower bloomed yet?" someone shouted.
"Could it be that you are insincere?" Zeng Yiqi said clearly.
"You're not sincere! Which of you at the scene isn't sincerely begging for the treasure tree, are you kid lying to us?"
"Say, are you kid not right? Thinking that we are sleeping, you yourself are not sleeping, so you have done such a thing to make everyone sleep badly?"
"Hit him!"
"Guys, I saw it just now. Is it because there are many of you, so Baoshu will not show his spirit?" Zeng Yiqi was still explaining.
"Babble!"
Some people are angry, so they do it.
A group of people tied Zeng Yiqi's hands and feet in a few strokes, and hung it upside down on this ancient pine to dissipate his anger.
Everyone dispersed, and the cripple Gong and Sanqi did not sympathize with him, so everyone left, leaving Zeng Yiqi alone to blow the mountain wind here.
It was so cold that it couldn't be done, so Zeng Yiqi had to practice. It wasn't until the next morning that a monk came to exercise in the morning before putting him down.
In the morning, Sanqi complained to Sai Zhuge in front of Zeng Yiqi.
"Miss, you can't spoil this Zeng Si anymore, he lied to people to find the treasure tree in the middle of the night yesterday, and said that the ancient pine outside is the treasure tree, so we all tossed it all night!" Sanqi said.
"That's really a treasure tree, the eldest lady is also there, isn't it, the eldest lady, you also saw the treasure tree bloom!" Zeng Yiqi was still arguing, and made Sanqi glare.
"Miss, is that ancient pine really a treasure tree that can manifest spirits?" asked Sanqi in disbelief.
"No!" said Sai Zhuge .
"Zeng Si, look!" Sanqi immediately pointed to Zeng Yiqi.
"Sai Zhuge , you obviously saw the blossom manifest last night, why do you say no?" Zeng Yiqi was angry.
"I only see flowers, and that ancient pine is not necessarily a treasure tree. ”
"What does this mean?" the cripple Gong also asked, "Isn't it true that the four brothers really begged for the treasure tree to manifest and blossom?"
"That's it, Sai Zhuge , you have to make it clear, you sat with me until the fourth watch last night, do you dare to say that you are not waiting for the treasure tree to manifest?" Zeng Yiqi found an idea to accuse Sai Zhuge of being blamed.
"That flower was supposed to grow there, and I think it would have bloomed last night. I wanted to see the blossoms last night, but I was too lonely alone, so I asked you to stay with me. It's your pleasure to accompany Miss Ben to see the flowers bloom, you know?"
"But~"
"But what? Miss Ben didn't remind you not to call them Sanqi? It was your own wishful thinking that you wanted to tell everyone about the apparition of the treasure tree. How dare you accuse me?"
"I ...... Isn't that the manifestation of the treasure tree?"
"Huh, stupid!"
In the morning, Master Kuang Zheng met with Sai Zhuge and others.
It seems that this Master Kuang Zheng is a smiling monk with a white and fat head, similar to the great monks of Zhu Rongshan, but the jewels on his body are very conspicuous.
"I heard that the two donors saw the apparition of the treasure tree last night?" After greetings, Master Kuang Zheng asked everyone with a smile.
"Let the master see it, I did see the flowers bloom last night," Sai Zhuge replied.
"Amitabha, short-lived, just for the Buddha. "Master Kuang Zheng said, "I don't know why the female benefactor is here?"
"I have a younger sister who has been kidnapped by a group of monks and wants to ask the master for directions!"
"Well, now the Lingnan world is uneasy, and there are often bandits who rob their daughters. Come to me to inquire a lot, ask the name of the female benefactor's sister!"
"The master won't be unaware!"
"Girl, don't you blame me for robbing your sister from the Shaozhou monk?"
"Exactly. ”
"Where did the women from the mountains and villages dare to slander me as a monk in Shaozhou," a mighty monk behind Master Kuang Zheng was furious.
"Anzheng, Hugh is rude," Master Kuang Zheng called out to the monk behind him, "Amitabha, don't blame the donor, my junior brother is short-tempered, and he can't listen to slandering the Shaozhou monks." But since the girl is sure that it was my Shaozhou monk who arrested your sister, I wonder what evidence the girl has?"
"These monks were arrested in Hengzhou, and three monks were shot dead on the spot. The corpses were all left on the spot, and if I showed evidence, I was afraid that the master would lose his face. So I ask the master to help me find it. ”
Kuang Zheng stopped talking and thought for a long time. The monk next to him couldn't sit still.
"Don't bluff people, if you have evidence, show it. Our Lingshu Temple is not afraid of shadows!" Anzheng had a very loud voice, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.
"Anzheng, stop it!" Kuang Zheng moved the corners of his eyebrows, and said to Sai Zhuge again: "The female benefactor is so sure, it must be reasonable. If the donors stay in the monastery for a few days, I will wait until I find out the situation and then explain to the donor."
"So there is Master Lao. The little girl has one more thing she wants to ask the master!"
"Female benefactor, please. ”
"Does the master have an apprentice named Qin Zhuyang?" asked Sai Zhuge .
"Not bad. He did stay under my door for a while, and he was very clever and pleased with the old man. Dare to ask the female benefactor what is the relationship with him?"
"He's my brother, because he mentioned that he had studied under you, and that he was a great master. That's why the little woman took the liberty to consult the master. Excuse me, Master, where is my brother now?"
"Oh! I see! It should be in Daxing Province at the moment. ”
Zeng Yiqi had never heard of Sai Zhuge 's family, and Yue'er had never mentioned it, so when she mentioned that she had an older brother, Zeng Yiqi was surprised. If his brother served under the Dayue King of Daxing Mansion, it would have been much easier to save Yue'er, no wonder Sai Zhuge was not in a hurry when he heard that Yue'er was arrested in Lingnan, it turned out that there was such a relationship.
