Chapter 15: The Bodhisattva of the Servant
As soon as Cangdewa returned to Yong'an Island, he entered the stone courtyard of the Great Ballader, and he was anxious to tell the Great Ballad Master about Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, as a matchmaker and the fourth prince Xiang Diedewa.
When Cang Dewa saw the party, he said: "The Xurui Dynasty is the most powerful empire in the entire continent, and I heard Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, say that the fourth prince Zhou Huan is the best successor to the future emperor, and the four princes have not yet decided to marry, if Diedeva achieves this marriage, she may be the first princess of the much-anticipated Xurui Dynasty." β
The big rumor master looked at Cangdewa, who was blushing, and said calmly: "When you go to the mainland this time, I have a premonition that something big is going to happen. Do you know the ancestors of our Mime, how did our branch come to this island? Alasββ, in fact, none of this matters, because it has become a legend among very few. But in the history of my songs, it is rumored that when the powerful forces on the mainland were vying for hegemony, some marriages of the royal family were a major strategy, and sacrificing a marriage may be exchanged for a hundred years of peace and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. β
Cang Dewa thought for a moment and said, "Diedewa's marriage won't be the hegemony strategy of the Xurui Dynasty, right?
The Great Rumor's face became serious and said: "Yes, a giant force like the Xurui Dynasty should not choose our Yong'an Island, a small force that no one can see, to marry, the mysteries here are full of fog, and all I can see is the Cangqi Divine Sword." β
Cang Dewa responded: "This time, when I presented a few boxes of new metal for making the Cang Yi Divine Sword, Emperor Zhou Tian was extremely excited, and immediately gave us several imperial national treasures. By the way, the night before I returned, Emperor Zhou Tian summoned me alone in the palace and asked me where I had gotten the new metal and how much new metal was left on the island. β
The big rumor master said, "How did you answer?"
"I have dug up the new metal mine, and I like it so much that I hide the amount of new metal on the island," Cangdeva said. β
The Great Rumor Master was slightly shocked in the party, and then regained his composure and said: "A few years ago, the moment the Water Party inadvertently said the Cangqi Divine Sword in front of Feng Ta, I had a premonition that we might no longer be able to grasp the fate of Yong'an Island, alas! The reincarnation of this world is not controlled by man, so let it all be fate!"
In the courtyard of the stone wall, the Great Rumor saw off Kudwa, looked up at the blue sky, sighed, and said, "This sky will not be pure and blue anymore!"
One day, a month later, when it was completely dark, an emaciated monk dressed in a hundred robes jumped off a boat, and quietly came to the courtyard of the Great Rumor Master's party
After staying, I pushed the door and entered the house.
When he heard the knock at the door, he saw a monk in his forties dressed in a hundred robes walk in, hurriedly got up, and said with a smile: "Pudi Bodhisattva! Why do you ββ? I thought you were just talking, but you really came to my island to say the Dharma." β
The full name of the monk who was called Pudi Bodhisattva by the Great Rumor Master Hedang was Shi Fudi, the Buddhist leader in the south of the Xurui Dynasty and the abbot of Shuien Temple.
Shi Fudi was originally one of the top ten famous monks of the Luo Danpo Dynasty in the southern continent, and more than ten years ago, he was invited by Emperor Zhou Tian to come to the south of the Xurui Dynasty to promote Buddhist culture. Now, Shi Servant has become the leader of the monks in the south of the Xurui Dynasty.
One year, there was a once-in-a-century flood in the south, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, relatives were killed, and the servant founded the Shuien Temple, saying the Dharma every day, comforting the victims, and finally his voice was tired and dumb for half a year, because his name has a ground character, and people who have heard him say that he has been liberated think that he is the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva of the earth, and call him the Bodhisattva of the land. Later, the name of the servant Bodhisattva became louder and louder, and the Shuien Temple became the first temple in the south, and the world called the servant land the servant Bodhisattva.
The Great Rumor Master Hedang went to Shui'en Temple three times to learn Buddhism from Shi Fudi and invited him to Yong'an Island to preach the Dharma. Shi Servant learned about the beliefs of the people on the island and agreed to the request of the Great Ballader.
When the servant saw the big ballad master joining the party, he folded his hands and bowed down and said: "The party benefactor! The poor monk came to visit at night, and he was really helpless and offended!"
"The Servant Bodhisattva has transformed countless people in the sea of suffering, and his merits are immeasurable, how can he be offended! Could it be that the Servant Bodhisattva has some accident when he comes to the island this time?" asked the Great Rumor Master.
Shi Fu said: "Party benefactor! I have received news that Yong'an Island may be facing a catastrophe in the near future, and the poor monk suggests that you and the children of the important families on the island bring enough food to evacuate Yong'an Island secretly for the time being. β
The Great Rumor Master pondered: A few days ago, Emperor Zhou Tian of the Xurui Dynasty sent a letter, and Emperor Zhou Tian entrusted Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, and Zhou Chi, the uncle of Zhou Huan, the fourth prince of the palace marshal of the capital, to come to the island to send some gifts to the Dewa family. Could it be that the calamity that the Bodhisattva said has something to do with this?
After a moment's hesitation, the Great Rumor Leader immediately stretched his brows, sighed, and said, "It's always coming! I had expected such a day, but all thisβit was too fast!"
Shi Shi said: "Party benefactor! Without further ado, it is better for those who evacuate to evacuate Yong'an Island before dawn. I've come to ship with me three guides who can bring the evacuees to safety, and if the island is too peaceful, I'll try to inform them to bring your men back to the island. I will stay with you for a while, and I beg the party benefactor not to reveal my whereabouts to anyone. β
The Great Rumor Master Hedang said, "Thank you to the Servant Bodhisattva! No one can enter this chamber without my permission, so the Servant Bodhisattva will live here." I immediately went to Kudwa to arrange for the evacuation. β
Cangdewa absolutely believed in the Great Rumor Division, just as the Coalition Party absolutely believed in Shi Servant, and after listening to the evacuation plan of the Great Rumor Division, he summoned some of the patriarchs of the big family.
In the martial arts training room of Cangdewa, the great rumor master said to the patriarchs: "A member of the Cangdewa family has found a gold mine in a long distance, and I have decided to let your children dig for gold, led by the Water Party and Fengdewa, and Cangdewa will send 200 samurai to escort them, and because they have been out for a long time, they must bring enough food. This operation will affect the future development of Yongan Island, so I have decided that the party will leave tonight, and you will keep it a secret until the party returns. β
After speaking, the master took the lead in making a poisonous oath to keep secrets, and then Cangdewa and the patriarchs of each family swore a poisonous oath one by one.
