Cao Gong Treasure 21
"Is the donor a little too angry", this time the speaker was actually unwanted, he said indifferently, "Senior Brother Wuliang has said very clearly, since I left the treasure house, I have not seen any trace of Xie Shizhu, we are also looking for him, Xie Shizhu stole the treasure of my temple, relics, how can I let him go!"
He paused and continued, "Don't forget, before the wedding, we also stopped the wedding procession and asked for Xie Tong, this is a fact that you have seen with your own eyes, has the general forgotten?" His voice was loud and sound, giving people a sense of open-mindedness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sima Xiangru's father and son fell silent for a while, especially Sima Xiangru, he was convinced of what he didn't want, and what he didn't want to say was true, could it be that Mo spread rumors and made trouble?
Sima Xuan's father and son glanced at each other, and at the same time saw the doubts in each other's eyes.
Sima Xiangru continued: "It's useless to say more, since this matter involves human lives, and you are all people present, please come back to the General's Mansion with me, we will take our business and open a court to try the case!
He said angrily, "Don't deceive people too much, such a unwarranted thing, why do you want us to testify in court, not to mention that the general has already said it very clearly, and also admits that Prince Jinyu was killed by Cao Pingyang, why do you want me to wait to go!
Sima Xiangru said impatiently, "Come on, tie up these people for me, and take them all to the general's mansion for trial!"
"Bold", immeasurable finally angry, in the years he has been practicing Zen White Horse Temple, has been indisputable with the world, has always been polite three points, now Sima Xiangru aggressive, to take him White Horse Temple to open the knife, has touched his bottom line, he finally couldn't bear it, angrily said, "The general wants to take my brother to ask for guilt, you can make it clear, why play this trick!" But before taking us, do you want to give us an explanation, we are only witnesses, not murderers, and the murderer has been ambushed, the general can't say anything about this matter, but just an abuse of power, even if the old man meets the saint, he must seek justice. ”
Sima Xiangru shouted, "Looking for death, don't take the saint to press me, today my brother died unexpectedly, you White Horse Temple actually saw death and didn't save it, Lao Tzu asked you all to go down to the funeral, come to someone, come to someone! Burn the White Horse Temple to me."
The officers and soldiers outside the gate immediately shouted Sima Xiangru's order, and a large group of people poured into the eldest brother's treasure hall.
And many monks in the White Horse Temple also held eyebrow sticks, rushed into the main hall, and surrounded several high-ranking monks.
The two sides are facing each other in one place, full of gunpowder, and a major battle is inevitable.
Xie Tong saw it clearly, he wanted to rush out and shout to solve the predicament of the White Horse Temple, but he thought that once this happened, the collusion between the White Horse Temple and him would be confirmed, and this move would backfire.
The war between the two sides was imminent, and I only heard Sima Xuan angrily shouting "Similar, stop".
Sima Xiangru said angrily, "Father, what are you going to do?"
Sima preached, "The White Horse Temple is a symbol of Buddhism in the world, just like how can you be rash and act blindly regardless of the consequences, although Jinyu died tragically, but as officials of the Tang Empire, we must abide by the rules and not risk the condemnation of the world." ”
Sima Xiangru said excitedly, "Father, do you just let Jinyu die unjustly, and let these bald donkeys get away with it?"
Sima Xuan said angrily, "Shut up, there is no evidence, why do you come here to say, let's go!" Master Wuliang, I have been offended a lot today, and I have resigned, but the old man will not give up on this matter, if you find evidence of collusion with Xie Tong, the old man will definitely tell the Son of Heaven and seek justice!"
Master Wuliang clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I will not send it far away!"
Sima Xiangru was still standing in place, with no intention of leaving, Sima Xuan hurriedly said, "Come on, pull him back to the house for me!"
Xie Tong listened sincerely, and at the same time secretly admired Sima Xuan's city government and wisdom, in such a situation, he can maintain a calm attitude, it seems that it is not unreasonable to stand in the middle of the court for so many years, holding heavy power.
If he turns his face with the White Horse Temple today, or abducts Wuliang and others, he will inevitably be criticized by the Buddhists and Taoists in the world, which will be extremely unfavorable to his Sima family, and the good image he has created over the years will be indifferent, and he will be strongly suppressed by hostile factions, which is really unwise.
Seeing that the people of the Sima family withdrew, he was also relieved, if there was really a fight, I was afraid that the ancient temple of the year before would be destroyed.
He hurriedly crawled out of the culvert, cleaned up the dust on his body, and strode towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Wuliang and other White Horse Temple monks saw the enemy leaving, a long sigh of relief, this happening, for the White Horse Temple, is a great blow, almost encountered the danger of destroying the temple, but also the loss of the spirit bead that has been guarded for hundreds of years, but the cause of all this, is the young man named Xie Tong, this person turned his hand into the clouds and covered his hands for rain, and played several major forces in Luoyang City.
He sighed and said, "Senior brother, what should I do next?"
If you don't want to, you said, "What else can I do?" Of course, I found Xie Tong's kid, this person has caused me a lot, and I must let him give an explanation!"
"It's hard to find him, this kid is very cunning, he got the spirit bead, he must run as far as he wants, this time senior brother, you made a mistake."
In the face of the accusations, Wuliang was also helpless, he whispered, "Amitabha, the old man is willing to resign from the abbot position, go to the ends of the earth, and also find the Lord Xie Shi, if you can't find him, the old man is willing to take responsibility alone, and be willing to be punished by the precept court." ”
Suddenly, Xie Tong's voice sounded at the door of the main hall, and said, "The master doesn't have to take responsibility, because the junior is not a person who is untrustworthy, not a master, although the kid's behavior is unbearable, but there is still credit."
When the three of them heard this, they were all surprised and happy when they saw Xie Tong's figure appear at the door of the main hall.
Immeasurable was surprised, "How did the donor appear here?"
Xie Tong walked in front of the three of them, hugged his fists and said, "The juniors have been eavesdropping on the conversation between you and Sima and his son, for what happened this time, the juniors are deeply sorry, I hope you don't mind!"
Not wanting to be busy raising his vigilance, he looked out of the temple and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the retreat!"
Wuliang nodded and said, "Yes, let's go!"
The retreat place is that guest room, Xie Tong hesitated for a while, in this guest room, if the five great monks besieged him, he had no chance to leave, but thinking of the integrity and frankness of Master Wuliang, he would not make such a shameless act, thinking of this, he smiled and strode up.
A few people walked into the guest room, did not cover the door of the room, and as expected, they meditated in the guest room without reciting or resenting, and when they saw a few people coming in, they were not practicing.
Xie Tong nodded hurriedly to Bunian, it was regarded as a greeting, among these people, what he admired the most was this monk who cultivated spiritual exercises, not only open-minded, but also superb in Buddhism, and was really second to none of the top monks.
Seeing Xie Tong in disgust, he said unhappily, "Xie Tong, you have ruined my White Horse Temple, and the century-old temple was almost destroyed, you still dare to come back, the old man wants you to look good today!"
After that, he picked up the iron rod of Qi Mei and was about to hit Xie Tong.
Bunian and others hurriedly stopped him.
Xie Tong smiled and said, "Don't hate the master for saying this, it's a bit far-fetched, although Xie Mou stole the spirit bead, I will not deny this matter, but the grievances between the Sima family and the White Horse Temple, if forcibly counted on my head, it will be very inappropriate." ”
He said angrily, "What's wrong, you don't have to quibble, if you hadn't led the enemy into the treasure house, how could it cause a conflict between the two sides."
Xie Tong sat on the futon without any scruples, and said with a smile, "The master only looks at the surface, and does not know the inside, Sima Xuan is not because of Sima Jinyu's death and attacks you, this matter is just a fuse, his real purpose is to win the Central Plains and replace the Tang Dynasty, but military force alone is not enough, it must rely on the support of public opinion, and the White Horse Temple, as a representative of Buddhism and Taoism, the spiritual pillar of the Tang Dynasty's rule over the Central Plains, has become a thorn in Sima Xuan's eyes, and must be disintegrated, so, does the master understand? ”。
"Ridiculous", he said coldly, "Although Sima Xuan leans towards the government and the opposition, he is just a courtier after all, where can there be such a big ambition, and the Sima family has been a minister for generations since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and has always been in peace and self-discipline, how can he have two hearts." Xie Tong, you don't want to talk nonsense and exonerate yourself from responsibility."
Xie Tong laughed again and said, " About the origin of the Sima family, you may not be very clear, I will tell you, the current Sima family is a branch of the Jin Dynasty royal family, but in the previous dynasty decay, since the rise in the Tang Empire, up and down all have the ambition of recovering the country, just waiting for the opportunity, and the Tang Empire internal and external troubles, Huang Chao in Guangzhou resurgence, all ethnic groups outside the Saiwai are ready to move, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Sima family, how could he miss it, the difference is that Sima Xuan is the emperor or Sima Xiangru is the emperor. ”
As soon as these words came out, several eminent monks were shocked and couldn't say a word, this matter was too appalling, as Xie Tong said was true, it was really a major event that caused a sensation in the government and the opposition.
After a long time, he said immeasurably, "Xie Tong, you should know how amazing your remarks are, but with your words, there is no basis, please forgive me for not daring to believe it."
Xie Tong said, "Of course I have no evidence, and Sima Xuan will not give anyone this opportunity to seize the handle, do you know Cao Pingyang?"
"This notorious person, no one knows, if he hadn't killed Sima Jinyu, there would have been so many things today, how could he implicate my White Horse Temple!"
Xie Tong smiled and said, "But do you know why Cao Pingyang attacked Sima Jinyu? Under Sima Xiangru, he wants to be windy and rainy, and his life is very moist, isn't this groundless!"
Everyone listened attentively, Xie Tong paused, and continued, "Cao Pingyang is a descendant of Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Three Kingdoms period, and has a common enmity with the Sima family, of course he hopes to get rid of the Sima family, these years are just to endure humiliation, as for his death, it is unexpected, you also saw it clearly at that time. And Xie was able to find the treasure because Cao Pingyang, as a descendant of the Cao family, had been passed down by word of mouth from his ancestors and knew the treasure house well, otherwise how could it be Xie Tong's turn. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again, and they also understood the ins and outs of the matter from Xie Tong's words.
The Sima clan stole the Cao clan's power, this matter is known to the whole world, and no one knows about it, so it is no wonder that Cao Pingyang wants to kill Sima Jinyu.
For a long time, he said immeasurably, "It's all caused by the regime, the power is a matter of harm, and the old man will definitely not let history repeat itself, and he will never allow Sima Xuan to change the dynasty, tomorrow the old man will immediately enter Beijing, and report this matter to the saint in person, and ask him to get rid of the traitor!"
Xie Tong laughed again, and said, "Master can't, Sima Xuan is scheming, he expected that there would be this matter, and the evidence has been cleaned up, if it weren't for the wisdom of Cao's predecessors, I'm afraid that no one in the world knows about it, and the master went to meet the saint without evidence, and the result would only be counterproductive, and Sima Xuan's tongue, now he is deeply dependent on the saint, even King Wu has no way, the master will not have any result with just one side, if Sima Xuan bites back, it will outweigh the loss."
Those who have not spoken have not spoken, do not read, "Senior brother, what Xie Shizhu said is right, now that my White Horse Temple has been framed by Sima Xuan for colluding with Xie Shizhu and killing Sima Jinyu, it is already a black cauldron, and if there is an incident, it is very likely that the Holy Lord will think that our wicked people will sue first, make something out of nothing, and expel us from the White Horse Temple, and the result will be counterproductive."
Xie Tong followed the words that he didn't read, "At that time, Sima Xuan will install his henchmen to preside over the White Horse Temple and promote the good deeds of their family, and they will truly achieve their goal."
He said angrily, "What should we do? Is it still up to this old guy to attack us?"
Immeasurable said: "Thank you, what is the master's opinion!"
Xie Tong said, "Turning a blind eye, waiting for the rabbit, we obviously don't compete with him, we can completely suppress them secretly, use our public opinion power, to squeeze him out, in the case of immature time, Sima Xuan does not dare to openly rebel, that is no different from Huang Chao, Huang Chao's banner is still on the side of the Qing monarch, to save the people! How can he Sima Xuan not give up the glory of the family for a hundred years and take a risk, as for how to eradicate them, we can only wait and see what happens!"
Xie Tong's words made the eyes of several high-ranking monks light up, and they suddenly opened, but with their strength, it was difficult for the powerful Sima family to shake it.
Xie Tong continued, "Of course, we are not alone, Wu Wang Li Zheng is still on our side, of course, at a critical juncture, Xie Tong can also invite the assistance of foreign clans, Xie Tong's people around Luoyang are all important people outside the Saiwai, there are the little Khan Shi Jingjiao, the princess Jin Shan of the Yan clan, and the patriarch of the Xue Yantuo clan, Murong Longcheng, are all well-known figures, of course, the younger generations are not willing to participate in the affairs of my Central Plains."
Several people immediately looked at Xie Tong with admiration, his personality stood up to the sky, he had extensive contacts, and what was even more rare was that he always had a heart to save the world.
Thinking of his transition from the beginning of his entry into the rivers and lakes to his transfer to the Central Plains, from unknown to famous, this is by no means accidental, but an extremely difficult process.
Immeasurable Path: "Amitabha." Not long after the donor first entered the rivers and lakes, he was able to understand so many secrets and rule the world, and the old man admired it!"
Xie Tong said, "The master has a good reputation, the essence of the Huangtian faction is to help the community and save the people from fire and water." It's just that it won't be tolerated by the courtiers!"
Several senior monks couldn't stop nodding, they once again had a clear understanding of Xie Tong's character, which was essentially different from the Qin prisoner that the court said.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Xie Tong suddenly unwrapped the package behind him, and suddenly pulled out the green steel sword, and in an instant, the room emitted a colorful light.
Xie Tong casually placed the sword in front of him and said, "This is what the Qinggang Sword and the Spirit Bead look like after being combined, please watch it!"
The monks glanced at each other, and finally came to Xie Tong slowly, picked up the green steel sword, kept looking at it, and after a long time, passed it to the other juniors and disciples to watch.
The sword was punched in the hands of the monks, and finally handed it to Bu Nian's hand, he held the sword for a long time, and said, "Sure enough, it is the unparalleled sword in the world, the green steel sword has absorbed the power of the spirit bead, and it is better than in the past, I am afraid that the world will be his opponent in the godless weapon."
He paused, and continued, "The spirit bead is a strange thing in the world, it can seize the star light of the sun and the moon, and absorb the aura of all things, and now it has been absorbed by the green steel sword, and it has lost its instinct.
After that, Bu Nian handed the green steel sword back to Xie Tong's hand.
Xie Tong said, "The juniors are here today, and the main purpose is to discuss with the senior monks about the Qinggang Sword and the Spirit Bead, I don't know what the seniors think!"
The monks glanced at each other, and finally sighed immeasurably, "The sword and the spirit bead are the world's treasures, now the two are one, it is really a symbol of the venerable, to put it in a popular way, only the virtuous live in it, I and your brothers, have been waiting for the spirit bead for decades, but do not understand the use of it, it is really embarrassing, these two things can be combined into one, it is really the good fortune of the donor, I hope the donor can play his role, for the benefit of the people of the world." ”
Xie Tong's heart was shocked when he heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, the White Horse Temple was actually not asking for the spirit bead, which was really beyond his expectations.
He said embarrassedly, "Why did the master say this, the younger generation's ability is limited, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, and I will contribute to it, but I'm afraid it will disappoint the master!"
Don't smile and say, "Shaoxia don't want to resign, this matter is a common decision of my brothers and sisters, my White Horse Temple has no quarrel with the world, stay at home, it is really difficult to save the world, Shaoxia is wise, smart and brave, it is the best owner of this treasure, and please Shaoxia do not want to resign." ”
Xie Tong couldn't say a word excitedly, although the monks of the White Horse Temple are pedantic, but the principles and concepts of Buddhism still control their thoughts and live for the common people in the world.
He didn't shirk, and hurriedly put away the Qinggang Sword Dao, "Thank you masters, the juniors will do their best to live up to the trust!"
Luoyang is now the world of the Sima clan, and there are many dangers for the young man to stay here, so it's better to leave as soon as possible!"
He paused and continued, "If there is a need for the young man in the future, the White Horse Temple will help you and will never refuse!"
Xie Tong said respectfully, "Thank you masters, the younger generation is grateful, but there is one thing that the master should pay attention to, Sima Xuan is scheming, don't follow his way!"
Bu Nian smiled and said, "Don't worry, young man, I don't know how you left Luoyang!"
Xie Tong smiled: "This still needs the help of the masters!"
Don't smile and say, "What do you need from the donor, please tell me!"
Xie Tong said, "Trouble the master to go out of the city to find some people, disguise themselves as juniors, hide people's eyes and ears, and make the illusion of leaving, so everything will be fine!"
smiled and said, "Ming Xiu plank road secretly crosses Chen Cang, and it is really a good plan."
A few days later, news came out of Luoyang City, and Xie Tong's traces were found in the east of the city, Sima Qi's whole body trembled, and Mo Chuan and others were scolded for being bloody, and Mo Chuan was helpless, and led the crowd to chase him out of the city.
Xie Tong hid in the White Horse Temple for several days, and after Mo Chuan left Luoyang, he saw that the wind was not tight, and he also took the opportunity to flow out of the city.
Late at night and evening, Xie Tong stood on the bank of the river, which was a tributary of the river out of the city under the Tianjin Bridge, and he looked at Luoyang from afar.
He has broken with the Sima family, and it has reached the point of no return. What awaits him will be unimaginably bloody.
Xie Tong looked at it for a while, turned around and left in great strides, and rushed in the direction of Chen Zhou. (To be continued.) )
