051 How can I be ashamed of my conscience, not only my fault (II)
There was a reproachful meaning in Hexi's words, but the tone was not harsh. His appearance is different from that of his junior brother Hechen, the white and chubby corners of his mouth and eyebrows are bent upward, and even when he is not smiling, his expression feels like he is laughing. So he was asking me, but it didn't feel like blame came out of his mouth.
I remembered Mr. Zhang's instructions, and replied, "Actually, I can't explain the events of that day alone, so there are many people present who have seen the Taoist, so I can ask them, and there are witnesses here today...... I have seen this ancestor in Qiyunguan. As I spoke, I turned around and pointed to a bearded man sitting not far behind me. This person's beard is very special, and his sideburns and cheeks are very thickly knotted together, and I remember that I had seen it in Qiyunguan that day.
He Xi saw that I pointed to the man and asked, "Xuanhua Jushi, since you were also in Qiyunguan that day, then you can tell me about the scene you saw at that time." β
Unexpectedly, this burly man actually called Xuanhua Jushi, only to see Xuanhua Jushi stand up, bow to the Living Buddha, and then speak: "I went to see the excitement that day." I heard that Qi Yunguan caught the Rui Beast and roared at the sky, I have never seen the Rui Beast, and I want to go and feast my eyes. Unexpectedly, the Lord of Hechen Guan said that no matter who didn't have Black Ruyi, they couldn't see the Rui Beast...... Later, someone shouted that the Taoist priest abducted and trafficked children, and a group of people broke into the backyard, and I followed in......"
This Xuanhua layman's voice was quite loud, my ears were buzzing, and I only heard him continue: "Zezhong said that the broken mirror in this child's hand is Qi Yunguan's thing, and then this child pounced on Zezhong and was knocked out by Zeren's sleeve, and when he landed, he deliberately hit a big hole in the wall. I've seen it with my own eyes!"
Xuanhua layman has a big voice and good eyesight, and he told the truth when he opened his mouth - I deliberately broke that wall. At this time, Mr. Zhang opened his mouth and asked me: "Shi Ye, explain why you deliberately smashed the wall of Qi Yunguan - all the people present are seniors, you don't need to lie, everyone knows that it was not Zeren." β
Mr. Zhang was clearly reminding me to tell the truth where I should tell the truth. I thought about it for a while and replied: "I'm angry, if you come to the door with a good way to change things with a magic weapon, if you don't change it, you won't change it, why do you frame me as a thief for no reason? Qi Yunguan did this, if it was Mr. Zhang, would you be angry? If you were angry, would you say it?"
Mr. Zhang shook his head and smiled but did not answer. The old living Buddha spoke: "I asked the little apprentice Shang Yunfei, and he also personally confirmed to me that the ancient mirror was indeed the thing of this Shi Xiaozhen. Hexi, how do you explain this?"
He Xi Zhenren's expression was a little embarrassed: "This--it is indeed Qi Yunguan's fault, Xianze has already returned to the mountain to be punished, and the matter of the collapse of the wall and the destruction of the painting will not be pursued today." With so many fellow Daoists present today, Zhengyimen just wanted to ask a question: Who was the master who broke the Demon Formation and stole the Rui Beast? Who was the person who took advantage of the chaos to set the fire? Ishino, you don't know, do you?"
"No, no, no, I don't know, it's not me anyway! I don't even know what the Demon Suppression Array is! I was already out when Qi Yunguan caught fireβthere were hundreds of people to testify. β
Having said that, I am a little frozen at this point, if I just bite to death and don't admit Hexi, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do. At this time, I only heard the old living Buddha speak: "If one wants to ask the other and the other doesn't know, it's better not to ask." Old monk Ishino asked you a question, but you can't help but answer it in front of so many people today. β
"Buddha, you can ask whatever you want to ask, as long as I know, I will tell you. β
The Living Buddha smiled slightly: "You must know that it is impossible not to know." You have such cultivation at a young age, especially the self-cultivation of foreign kung fu, you must be a master. May I ask you, from which sect and from whom you are taught?"
Damn! That's my biggest headache. I don't know where I come from, and I can't tell them that I learned the Dan Dao from the Feng Junzi, who was three years younger than me. I only picked up the rules of the cultivation world and replied, "Isn't there a rule of 'don't ask' in the cultivation world?"
At this time, Mr. Zhang interjected: "There is indeed a rule of not asking, but it is not impossible to ask under any circumstances. We don't need to ask where you came from, but you must tell you how you got to preach the Dharma. β
I suddenly remembered that the Wind Gentleman once told me that if someone asked, it would be a good idea to say that I had met a god in my dream! So I replied half-truthfully: "When I was a child, I could often see things that others couldn't see......
"Born with yin eyes!" said someone in the crowd.
"Don't interrupt him. Someone next to him stopped him.
"Not only can I see things that others can't see, but I can often dream about things in my future life. One night, I dreamed that a man came to me and taught me the Dao of Cultivation, telling me that this was the only way to cure my qi deficiency and weakness...... When I was a child, I was in very poor health and almost died of illness a few times. Later, I learned the Dan Tao from this person in my dream to grow up healthy. β
Those who listened to this half-truth, and those who listened were silent. It is true that there have been cases in the cultivation world where the Dharma is taught in dreams and disciples are accepted, although it is very rare, but everyone can't say that it is impossible. At this time, He Xi spoke: "Shi Ye, you said that person has reached the realm of divine transmission, so can you describe what this person looks like?"
Of course, you can't say that the gentleman looks like a gentleman, but he is a nonsense: "He is an old Taoist priest, and he walks like a fairy! He is wearing a green sermon robe, and he is holding a dust-whisked golden ...... in his hand."
I opened my mouth, but when I saw that He Xi and Mr. Zhang, who were sitting on both sides, their faces changed, and it was an unbelievable surprise. Mr. Zhang suddenly asked, "Is there a big white patch in the middle of the old immortal's robe?"
What does Mr. Zhang mean by that? Since he said so, I followed him and said, "Yes, there is a big white patch on the front of the robe, and I don't know why. β
"Is the hairpin on the old fairy's head the appearance of a sword?" He Xi Zhenren also asked.
The more I listened, the more strange I became, so I simply said, "Yes, the hairpin on his head is four inches long, like a small sword...... Do you know him?"
At this point, there was a sudden chaos around me, and everyone began to whisper, and I vaguely heard someone saying: "How can it be a true person?", "How could the head of the Zhengyi Gate go to Qiyunguan to make trouble?", "The actions of the masters are really unfathomable!", "Listen, listen, I understand a little, it turns out that what I just said is actually the head of the Zhengyi Gate, and the appearance of the upright real person! God testifies, but I didn't say what I said, they asked!
