Chapter 19: The Jade of the Supreme
The old monk held the rosary, and his gestures had his own dustless atmosphere. He saw that Guan Ren was looking at the red sun rising in the east, his eyes were full of longing, and he knew that his intention to go out of the mountain was urgent, so he smiled and said: "If there is nothing to do now, let's go around with Lao Gao." ”
Guan Ren retracted his gaze and said, "Okay." ”
The two of them walked freely from temple to temple.
Shanshi said: "Do you have a plan, when are you going to go down the mountain?"
"The younger generation plans to stay in the temple for the next two days to copy some scriptures, and then say goodbye to the master. ”
"Well, that's fine. ”
The two walked forward and came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, where they saw that the monks had finished their morning classes and came out of the hall.
An old monk walked in the ranks of monks, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Guan Ren, his expression changed, and his footsteps stopped, and in confusion, he muttered: "Ling'er?"
When the monks behind him saw him stop, they all stopped.
Seeing this, the old monk asked, "Which academy are you a disciple?"
The old monk immediately came to his senses and hurriedly clasped his palms and saluted: "Disciple Mo Lian, he belongs to the twelve courtyards under the mountain. ”
Shanshi nodded and asked, "But something?"
Monk Mo Lian had regained his calm now, he glanced at Guan Ren, and said, "The disciple is fine. Because I hadn't seen anyone for a long time, I just took a few more looks. ”
Shanshi said: "We Buddhist disciples, what we cultivate is that the mind is like stopping water, and the four are empty, how can we lose the Tao because we see people in our lives? ”
Mo Lian clasped his palms together and saluted: "Yes." Then he retired and left with the monks.
Shan Shi and Guan Ren continued to pace and talk.
In the middle of the line, the rosary in Shanshi's hand, which was originally moving smoothly, suddenly got stuck inexplicably.
The old monk immediately stopped, raised the Buddha beads to check, and did not move for a long time.
Guan Ren called softly from the side: "Master?"
The old monk looked at him with a smile on his face: "The donor might as well set off today." ”
Guan Ren was slightly stunned: "Why is this?"
The old monk glanced at Guan Ren, with a lot of meaning, but in the end he just shook his head and said, "Don't say, don't say." ”
The two of them stood outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the daylight was just right, and the fusion was like the light of the Mahayana Buddha.
The old monk smiled: "Everyone has their own fate, and the old man also proposed that the donor enter the empty door to practice, but now it seems that the old man is in love." ”
The two originally said that they would go down the mountain in a few days, but now that the old monk has changed his attention, Guan Ren expected that there must be a deep meaning in this. However, since the old monk can't say it, Guan Ren is not good to ask too much, and he has many doubts in his heart.
The old monk said: "You go and prepare, and the old man will wait for you and Fan Shi in the palace." ”
Guan Ren saluted and retired, and hurriedly went to find Fan Bufan.
On the other side, the old monk Mo Lian walked along the stone path in the mountain and returned to the monk's room of the Twelve Courtyards. He closed the door of the room, and there was no one around. Immediately reached into his arms, felt out a transparent bead the size of a pigeon's egg, and held it in his palm.
This bead is called 'mirage'. It is recorded in ancient books that there are mirages in the East China Sea, which are like big clams, understand human language, and are good at charming. It contains a pearl and can create a mirage.
The bead was scattered with five-colored light, and slowly floated from the palm of the old monk Mo Lian. Rising into the air, the light on the ground shone brightly, and a colorful light hole was broken in front of Monk Molian, with a five-colored light circling inside.
And thousands of miles away in Middle Earth, in the imperial palace of Xianyang, the capital of Great Qin, a man in a fancy costume carrying the fortune of the emperor was reviewing the recital in the imperial study. When the pen was dipped in ink, a round of five-colored light clusters the size of a bowl suddenly appeared in front of the imperial case, reversing in the air like a whirlpool, and in a few breaths, it had expanded several times, like a bronze mirror.
"Stand down. The middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume spoke in a tone that was neither light nor serious, but extremely majestic.
"No. The eunuchs who served in the imperial study immediately saluted and retired.
The middle-aged man got up and looked at the light curtain, waiting for the person opposite to appear.
After a short time, the light curtain was wide to the size of the cave entrance, and gradually stabilized, and the surface was like rippling water, reflecting the image of the old monk Mo Lian.
The middle-aged man saluted and said, "Father." The tone was neither sad nor joyful.
Mo Lian knew that he had such a temperament since he was a child, so he didn't care about his indifferent attitude, and said: "The poor monk has already entered the empty door, and the imperial power and wealth are just floating clouds for the monks, so don't call the poor monk by your father." ”
The middle-aged man's face remained unchanged, still indifferent, and turned a deaf ear to the monk's words: "My father went to Mount Meru to practice, and his sons were not allowed to disturb him." I met my sons today, and I wanted to come to have something, so I asked my father to show me. ”
Monk Mo Lian no longer insisted on making the man change his words, and said, "I met An Ling today. ”
The man was moved and exclaimed, "Brother Ling.......?" He's still alive?"
Monk Molian nodded: "Ling'er is still in Mount Meru right now." But it's a little strange......." Thinking back to the situation at that time, Monk Mo Lian frowned slightly: "An Ling, he doesn't seem to recognize me." ”
"Didn't my father recognize the wrong person?"
Monk Molian shook his head and said categorically: "My son, how can you be mistaken for it? Although you and An Ling are not my biological blood, they have been raised by me since childhood. I am already an outsider, and it is inconvenient for me to meddle in mundane affairs. Your brothers have a deep brotherhood, so it's up to you to find out about it. ”
The middle-aged man said: "Erchen will send someone to Bodhisattva Prefecture to pick up Brother Ling back to Daqin." ”
"You are already the king of a kingdom, and you do not need to ask me what to do. ”
Seeing that Monk Molian was about to take away the mirage projection, the man hurriedly shouted, "Father." ”
"What else?"
The man said: "Erchen has been in charge of Daqin for three years, when does my father plan to hand over the jade seal of the country to Erchen?"
Monk Mo Lian squinted slightly: "The jade seal of the country carries the fortune of the empire, and it is the foundation of my Great Qin Society, which is not trivial. You have to wait patiently for a few years, and it will all be yours sooner or later. ”
When he said this, the monk Mo Lian changed his posture as a monk in Pingsuli, and took his hands behind, and the king was angry, and his bearing of being a king in the court for many years was fully revealed.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything more, bowed, and said, "Yes, Father." ”
Over there, Monk Mo Lian waved the sleeves of his robe and put away the mirage, and the light curtain closed in an instant.
The middle-aged man forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, slammed his palm on the royal case, and smashed the high-quality table case into several sections, and scolded angrily: "Gelding!"
Outside the imperial study, several eunuchs heard a lot of movement in the room, and knew that it was the master who lost his temper, so they all buried their heads, and even tried their best to control their snorts lightly. A companion is like a tiger, and which king is a good match?
West of Middle Earth, Bodhisattva State, on Mount Meru, in the monk's house.
Fan Bufan was woken up from his dream by the prisoners, and he was a little unhappy: "Mr. Ben has long seen that the old monk is not like a good person, and he has only stayed for one night, so he wants to drive us away, hum, stingy!"
Guan Daodao: "Don't slander the master." People are high-ranking monks, so why don't they look like good people?"
Fan Bufan said: "Didn't you see that the old monk was plotting against Mr. Ben's burden yesterday." ”
Guan Ren smiled and said, "What valuable treasures can you have in this baggage?
Fan Bufan looked around and said, "You go and close the window, and I'll show it to you." ”
Guan Ren was slightly shocked, looking at this, is there really a treasure?
The window was closed, and the room was a little darker.
Fan Bufan opened the baggage, except for a few yellowed ancient books, there were still a few changes of clothes. In the midst of these clothes, there was a thick cloth bag.
Fan Bufan solemnly stretched out his hands and held the cloth wrap.
Guan Ren was suspicious: "This is the baby?"
Fan Bufan glanced at him and snorted, "Mr. Ben will let you see for a long time." "Untie the cyan cloth bag right now.
Unexpectedly, in the wrapping of this blue cloth, there was also a layer of white cloth. When I opened it again, there was a purple embroidered veil inside.
Guan Ren didn't think it was funny, and said in his heart, according to Fan Bufan's temperament, he could be wrapped in a cloth so much, so how precious must the things in it be?
When the last layer of soft satin was opened, there was no golden light, and there was no vision, only a blue-white jade pendant on the soft satin.
Guan Ren hesitated: "That's it...... This?"
"That's it?" Fan Bufan's eyes widened: "You don't know anything, do you know the origin of this jade pendant?"
Guan Ren shook his head.
Fan Bufan carefully held the jade pendant in his hand, turned it over, and showed Guan Ren the word 'Xian' engraved on the back, and said, "Do you recognize this word?"
Guan Ren nodded: "It's a virtuous word." ”
Fan Bufan looked proud and said: "Looking at the world of Kyushu, there are only seventy-two sages in Pei, do you think it is a big treasure?"
Guan Ren pondered for a while and said, "Could it be the sage jade plate that destroyed the Ming Dynasty?"
Fan Bufan nodded: "When I was seven years old, my uncle ......."
At the mention of the word uncle, Fan Bufan suddenly stopped talking, and a smile was fixed on his face: "Hey, don't mention it, don't mention it." This then wrapped the sage jade pena cloth cloth layer by layer, looking like that, so that he cared.
Guan Ren wanted to comfort him a few words, but he didn't know how to speak, so he had to pat him on the shoulder.
Fan Bufan didn't want to make Guan Ren feel bad because of personal matters, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Ben tested you, what are the best jades in the world?"
Guan Ren thought about it for a long time, and shook his head helplessly, saying that he didn't know.
Fan Bufan said: "Looking at the world, the first strange jade should be 'Hepu', which is the wall of the He's. It was made a jade seal by the ancestral dragon Zhao to inherit the fortune of the empire. However, it is rumored that the wall of the Qin Emperor Zhao Zhengde and the clan is divided into three, taking its essence and carving the seal to pass on the country. The seal text said, ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity. The remaining two white walls, one of which is the Taoist Zhengyi School of Heavenly Master Seal, named 'Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal'. Second, it was made into the Maoshan Master Seal, named 'Nine Old Immortal Seal'. ”
Guan Daodao: "This is the best jade in the world?"
Fan Bufan straightened his clothes, put away his baggage, and said, "What's more." When the Holy Master Confucius was born, there was a unicorn title of topaz. That topaz was made by the master as a jade pendant to take with him, this is the saint's pendant, the only one in the world. ”
"Gone?"
"Yes. Fan Bufan tied the burden with his hands and said: "The book says 'Jin Sheng Lishui, Jade out of Kungang', this Kungang refers to Kunlun Mountain." The main vein of Kunlun is located in 'Linzhou', which has been a demon land since ancient times. Originally, there were only eight states in this world, but who knew that a great figure came out later, raised troops to the south, and cut the Linzhou demon into two. The extra state is Yuzhou. This man led the troops to evacuate nineteen jade mountains, obtained Kungang fine jade and a half, and made six treasure seals. This person is Su Qin, Su Jizi, who also admires the seal of the six countries. ”
Guan Ren was puzzled: "You have always been in Jiancheng, where do you know so much?"
"Read a book. Fan Bufan packed up, put the burden on his shoulders, and went out with the customs people.
