Chapter 67: The Origin of the Relic

As soon as Master Tianning's words came out, everyone was shocked.

"What? Shakyamuni's true body relic? I heard you right, Master Tianning. Zuo Xuantian looked stunned and asked in surprise.

"The monks don't speak, and what the poor monks say is true. That is indeed the true body of my Buddha, Shakyamuni. It was originally enshrined in Famen Temple, a royal temple of the Tang Dynasty. Later, when the Huichang law was difficult, Tang Wuzong wanted to destroy all the relics enshrined in the Famen Temple. In order to protect the true body and soul bones of our Buddha, the monks of Famen Temple did not hesitate to risk death to make fakes, and deceived Emperor Wuzong before temporarily preserving this Buddha treasure and holy relic. Master Tianning explained in detail.

"I see, I wonder why the master is so clear about this matter?" asked Zuo Xuantian.

Master Tianning took out a piece of paper and said, "This is the Tang translation of the Sanskrit stone tablet that we dug up from the ground of the Yan Pavilion that day. It is translated by the poor monk's uncle, Dawu Zen Master, please take a closer look at Zuo Daxia. With that, Master Tianning handed the note to Zuo Xuantian.

"It's only because the poor monk is a shallow learner and can't read Sanskrit, otherwise he would never have dealt with this matter so hastily at that time," Tinning then continued.

Zuo Huatian opened the note, read it carefully, and said: "It turns out that this relic is really the true body and soul bone of Shakyamuni. According to the above, this relic was brought back by an envoy named Wang Xuance during the Tang Dynasty. Later, when Tang Wuzong destroyed the Buddha, the true master of Famen Temple brought this relic to Shezhou and hid it in the Hanmo Four Treasures Hall for worship, and he himself went to several Zen rooms in Changzhou to practice in seclusion."

At this time, Master Tianning said to Shentu Qiu: "It is precisely because of the sacredness of this relic that the poor monk is very nervous, if there is any offense just now, please ask the Shentu donor to forgive the sin."

"I'm fine, please don't mind the master" Shen Tuqiu also said politely.

Yuwen Songxian on the side couldn't help but ask: "This is strange, the Buddha's true body relics are so precious, how could the Tianzhu people give them to a Tang envoy so easily?"

Zuo Xuantian looked at the Tang translation of the inscription in his hand, and continued: "This Wang Xuance is not an ordinary envoy."

"Then who is he sacred, how can he make the Tianzhu people so generous?" asked Yu Wen Song first.

Zuo Zhutian looked down again, and continued: "It is recorded above that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuance was ordered by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin to discuss dozens of monks with Master Xuanzang's disciple, and went to Tianzhu through Tubo. After arriving in Northern Tianzhu, he happened to encounter the civil strife in Tianzhu, A Luoshun usurped the throne and became the king, did not recognize the friendly relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and sent troops to ambush Wang Xuance and others. Only Wang Xuance and the debate monk escaped alive. Wang Xuance fled back to Tibet, borrowed 10,000 soldiers and horses from Songtsen Gampo of Tibet, and the king of Nibora, Naling Deva, and destroyed the Northern Tianzhu, Middle Tianzhu and Eastern Tianzhu in one go, defeating the entire Tianzhu world. Not only that, but he also escorted the king of Tianzhu, A Luoshun, who had ambushed them at the beginning, back to Chang'an, creating an eternal legend of one person defeating three Tianzhu. ”

"Is it? This Wang Xuance is so powerful, why am I unheard of?" Yu Wensong asked first.

At this time, the Tianyuan master on the side clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, because it was just an accidental thing, Datang never really wanted to destroy Tianzhu." Therefore, it has not been recorded in history. But Tang Taizong understood that killing was useless, and friendship was a long-term necessity. So a few years later, Wang Xuance was sent to Tianzhu again. And this time, Wang Xuance was warmly received by the whole country in Tianzhu. He also showed the humility and kindness of my Oriental Tang Dynasty, the state of etiquette, and won the praise and admiration of the whole Tianzhu Kingdom. In order to promote Buddhism and be friendly with the Tang Dynasty for generations, King Tianzhu invited a copy of the true body relics of my Buddha Shakyamuni and asked Wang Xuance to bring them back to the Tang Dynasty for permanent worship, so as to promote Buddhism in the East, hoping that the light of the Buddha can shine on the world and the world will always be peaceful."

Zuo Xuantian looked at the note and answered: "That's right, later Wang Xuance brought back this Sakyamuni real body relic, which was enshrined in the Famen Temple, the royal temple of the Tang Dynasty, until Tang Wuzong destroyed the Buddha, and was brought out by Master Zhenyuan and hidden in the underground of the Four Treasures of Hanmo in Shezhou. That's how the whole thing started. ”

"It turns out that this relic has such a legendary story. Then we have to find a way to get it back as soon as possible. Yuwen Song said first.

"Yes, but now my apprentice Song Hui hasn't woken up yet, how can this be good?"

"May I ask where the Disciple is now?" asked Master Tianning.

"Oh, it's in the backyard room, but I'm still unconscious. Left scratched the sky and replied.

"I wonder if Master Zuo is willing to take the poor monk to investigate the injuries of the disciples?" asked Master Tianning.

"Of course it's no problem, please come with me a few masters"

Zuo Xuantian led everyone to Song Hui's room. Master Tianjue stepped forward, checked the pulse of Song Hui who was unconscious, and said: "The palm force has broken the internal organs, and the internal injuries are serious, but it seems that I have taken good healing medicine, and now I am recovering from my internal injuries."

"That's right, I just took the 'Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill' not long ago," Zuo said.

"Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill? Well, that's easy. With that, Master Tianning helped Song Hui, who was in a coma, up from the bed. He raised his hands to exercise his strength and sank qi, and put his palms against Song Hui's back, sending him true qi to heal his wounds.

After a while, Song Hui's complexion was obviously a lot ruddy. After a few more moments, my eyelids jumped slightly, and my lips began to move.

"Ahem...."

Suddenly, Song Hui coughed a few times and spit out a large mouthful of blood clots deposited in his body. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Zuo Tietian standing in front of him. He opened his mouth slightly and called out weakly, "Master, where am I?"

"Hui'er, are you awake? You've been in a coma for more than ten days," Zuo Xuantian said happily when he saw Song Hui wake up.

Song Hui touched his heart and head, thought about what happened before, and hurriedly said, "I remember, the iron letter we escorted was snatched away. Shentu Daxia is also injured, where is he? Is he okay?"

Shen Tuqiu stepped forward and said, "I'm here, Brother Song Hui, are you okay?"

"It was your brother Shentu who rescued you, don't thank them soon," Zuo said.

"Thank you Shentu Daxia for saving your life," Song Hui said weakly.

"May I ask Master Song, do you remember what happened at that time?" Master Tianning hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Song Hui touched his head again, thought hard, and said, "I remember, the man in black used the Shaolin Lingxiao swordsmanship, and I also found that he was wearing the robe of a Shaolin warrior monk."

Several senior monks listened to Song Hui's words and looked at each other.

"Shaolin Lingxiao Sword, Master Song, are you right?" asked Master Tianning.

"No, absolutely not mistaken. The year before last, when I went to Songshan Shaolin for my master to welcome the Buddha statue, I had seen the Shaolin master use the Lingxiao sword technique. That sword technique is unique, I remember it very deeply, and I can't go wrong. Song Hui said categorically.

"May I ask if in that sword technique, is there a move that pierces the sky and returns to the crane to capture the moon?" asked Master Tianning.

"That's right, that's right. The swordsmanship was so subtle that I was caught off guard, and there was no room to fight back. Song Hui said.

"That is the Shaolin Dharma Patriarch, who has learned swordsmanship for thirty years. At the top of the seventy-two stunts, you certainly can't resist it. Judging from the internal force of that person's palm against you, his Ling Xiao swordsmanship can't be practiced with two successes. If you practice to 50%, you won't be able to bear it at all. Master Tianning said.

"Hmph, I'm angry, robbing my things, and killing my people, if I swallow this breath, what face will I have to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future?" Zuo Daotian said angrily.

"If that's the case, then it's troublesome. Master Tianning said.

"The master is very right, what should we do now? Zuo asked.

"Since this matter involves Shaolin, whether the relics were snatched by the Shaolin Temple or not, we should first go to Shaolin to ask for clarification," Master Tianning said.

"That's right, whether it's right or wrong, you have to go to the Shaolin Temple first to ask for clarification," Zuo said.

At this time, Master Tianning turned to the two masters of Tianyuan and Tianjue and said, "Two senior brothers, this relic is very important. The poor monks would like to invite the three major monasteries in Jiangdong: Lingying Temple, Yinjun Qixia Temple, and a group of monks from Asoka Temple to go to Shaolin with us. Ask them to uphold justice and be a witness, what do the two senior brothers think?"

"Well, this is a major matter of Buddhism, and it should have been discussed and resolved by Buddhist monks. But everything is based on friendliness, and we must not hurt the harmony and violate my Buddhist taboo. Master Tianjue said.

"Well, the junior brother naturally understands that everything should be treated politely, and he will never do anything excessive, please rest assured that the two senior brothers will not be at ease. Master Tianning said.

"Okay, let's repair in Shezhou for a day, wait for the poor monk to repair the book three letters and send it to the three major monasteries, and then set off for Songshan tomorrow." Master Tianyuan said.

"Okay, Zuo also went with the three masters, right? After all, this matter started because of my SF Express. Zuo also has to make a modest contribution to recovering the treasure," Zuo said.

"Amitabha, then please ask Zuo Daxia to accompany the poor monks on a trip" Master Tianning said with his hands folded.

"Yes, the master doesn't have to be polite."

At this time, Yi Dan walked up to Song Hui, she poured out a Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill from the bottle, handed it to Song Hui and said, "Song Daxia, you just woke up, you have to eat another Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill, and the injury will heal faster."

Song Hui was deeply attracted by the beautiful Yi Dan in front of him, and he looked at Yi Dan stupidly. Where can I care about what pills to take, and immediately said vigorously: "Thank you, girl!

"In Xia Yidan, I just came to Shezhou. Please Song Daxia, you take this pill first, it will get better faster. Yi Dan handed over the pill and said.

Song Hui looked at Yi Dan's face and slowly reached out to take the pill. I didn't see what the pill looked like, I put it in my mouth and swallowed it. That look seemed to say that even if Yi Dan gave him a poison, he would swallow it without hesitation. This strong feeling was simply irresistible to Song Hui. But he still tried his best to suppress the impulse in his heart, and looked at Yi Dan's face stupidly, unable to extricate himself for a long time.
