Chapter 44: Suppressing the Rebellion (Part 1)(1/2)
"Ruoyu's brief encounter made Master Luo laugh," Gao Ruoyu looked at Luo Xiaoyao with a wry smile, and smiled slightly: "Three days ago, after hearing Ge Xiu's reply, Ruoyu asked Brother Wang to write a letter to invite the abbot to Jiangling Mansion for a lecture. Yesterday, he settled in the "Ciyuan Temple" in the south of the city. When Master Luo came, Ruoyu had sent someone to invite him, and it seemed that he was about to arrive."
Luo Xiaoyao knew why Gao Ruoyu tried to stay at this time, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Princess."
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came to the outside of the hall and saluted: "Report to the princess, the abbot of Baoguang Temple Yuanjue has arrived at the door of the mansion."
Gao Ruoyu nodded and smiled, "Mr. Geng, please invite the master to the mansion on behalf of this princess."
Geng Gongfeng, who was sitting opposite Luo Xiaoyao, came out on order. After a while, he came in with an old monk over 70 years old and rosy-faced. He looked at Gao Ruoyu. The old monk lowered his head and said, "Namo Amitabha, see the princess in Yuanjue of Baoguang Temple."
"Master, don't have to be too polite. Please sit, please sit."
Yuanjue took his seat as Geng Gongfeng gestured, and a maid placed tea on the long table in front of him.
"I am the princess who come to the mansion, I believe the master should know what is going on, right?"
When Yuanjue came in, he saw Ge Xiu standing beside the princess, with a cold face. He knew it in his heart and said, "I have told the female donor that a monk will not predict the world, but please forgive me." The female donor mentioned naturally refers to Ge Xiu.
"I'm so unpredictable to the world." Gao Ruoyu raised his eyebrows, "I guess he was pursuing the name of becoming a monk, and the excuse of the six senses being pure and quiet, but he used his six senses to fool the people."
Luo Xiaoyao only said what she would say when she left her home and city gates, but she was stunned when she heard her words. At this time, the world was chaotic, and many people used various reasons to escape from taxes, military service or law. In order to make the incense flourish, some monks in temples used illusions to deceive the people in the public.
Yuanjue heard Gao Ruoyu's tone was cold, and his words were sarcastic, and he lowered his head and said, "Namo Amitabha, sin, sin."
"Have the master ever had parents? But their parents were still there and took the precepts to follow the Buddha?" Gao Ruoyu's eyes flashed with heroic spirit.
Yuanjue was stunned. He was naturally born of his parents, but after both parents died, he entered Buddhism alone and helplessly. He was about to answer, but he heard Gao Ruoyu say, "I have never respected my parents and abandoned my parents. I am cruel and cruel. How can I do good to save people? How can I win trust from others?"
"Hehe, what's more, after stealing and killing, he escaped into a monk, shouted and put down his butcher's knife, and became a Buddha, and then he also received the protection of the Buddhist sect. What's the reason?"
What Buddhism says about putting down the butcher's knife refers to letting go of the many greed caused by selfishness. Yuanjue But Gao Ruoyu took it out of context and wanted to refute it, but he listened to Gao Ruoyu: "There are rules of temples and the state has national laws. Master Yuanjue, can monks be exempted from the law?"
"Amitabha, if you violate the precepts of temples, you will also be punished, let alone the laws of the court..." Yuanjue was stunned and responded, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Okay." Gao Ruoyu smiled: "Tan Gongfeng will tell you about the things that Ming Wu monks committed to Master Yuanjue."
Luo Xiaoyao was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Gao Ruoyu with a calm expression and felt enlightened in his heart.
Yuanjue's face looked surprised, and he lowered his head and said, "Sin, sin."
"Four years ago, the Ming Wu monk sneaked into the palace and stole the thousand-year-old ginseng that the former king had treasured for decades. He also injured Fan Guard. Unfortunately, he didn't know his Dharma name at that time and could not be investigated. Three months ago, Fan Guard accidentally met the Ming Wu monk at a ferry in Xiazhou. He knew that it was not his opponent, so he asked his guards to inquire about his Dharma name and rushed to the government to ask for help."
"Who knew that when he arrived with his men, he saw the guard who was staring at the ground fainting. Ming Wu was not sure where to go. It turned out that after the guard asked about his Dharma name, he inquired about the source of his temple, which aroused Ming's suspicion, so he knocked the guard unconsciously."
"The prince guessed that it was no or I, a monk from Jingnan, so he ordered people to investigate the certificates of the monks registered in various places. Unfortunately, nothing was found. Fortunately, Commander Ge thought that the monks expelled from the temple had disappeared, and he just found out that the monks from Baoguang Temple Weina found out that Ming Wu was not the one who had not been like this... I'm afraid the master would not admit it, right?" After Tan Gongfeng finished speaking, he looked coldly at Master Yuanjue who closed his eyes and closed his eyes.
Yuanjue couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. If it weren't for the Vinay monk in the temple that he would really not want to admit it because everyone was looking for the reason why the Ming Wu monk was searching for.
During the more than ten years of Ming Wuli Temple, Yuanjue naturally did not know what he did. He suddenly returned to the temple three months ago and begged him to give him a precept for him to travel around and hold a list. Yuanjue saw that Ming Wu, who was once strong, was as thin as a hair. He also saw that he seemed to have dispersed his true body and did not break the martial arts. He felt pity, so he gave him precept for him. Now, when he heard what Tan Gongfeng said, he remembered the fact that Ming Wu had eaten, drunk, and flesh and blood before, and couldn't help but believe and doubt.
But Gao Ruoyu said, "From the master's expression, I think I don't believe what Mr. Tan said. Do you think Mr. Tan deceived the master?"
Looking at Yuanjue with a suspicious face, she said nothing. She asked questions very quickly before, almost without letting Yuanjue answer, but now she is waiting for Yuanjue to answer.
After hesitating for a long time, Yuanjue responded, "Namo Amitabha, Mingwu stole the treasure of the royal palace. I think it was caused by the affair in the early years of my life. Now I talk to him and see my Buddha's great Dharma every word. I dared to ask the princess to spare him."
He was afraid that Gao Ruoyu would send someone to hurt Ming Wu's life. If he said that Ming had no place to go and was poisoned by Gao Ruoyu, he would destroy his state of mind for practicing Buddhism. However, Ming Wu did not violate the law, and he could not be biased. He was in a dilemma, so he asked for it first.
Gao Ruoyu first made a sarcasm to disturb Yuanjue's state of mind, and then made up Mingwu's robbery with Tan Gongfeng and others, which was nothing more than forcing him to say Mingwu's whereabouts. After hearing Yuanjue's words, he was secretly happy and said slowly: "Mingwu monks have violated the law. They must be captured and punished. The so-called "knowing mistakes can be corrected, and there is no great benefit. If the master said, he will understand his mind and see the nature, and this princess will tell the Internet. Master, please rest assured."
Yuanjue heard her tone of honesty and her identity as a princess, so he believed what she said, and sang the name of Nova: "Namo Amitabha, good, good."
After hesitating for a moment, he finally told the story of Ming Wuhui's request to give the precepts. The precepts were different from the precepts issued by the imperial government. They could be issued by the temple. Although they could not be exempted from taxes and servitude, they could be used for monks to travel around. When the imperial court had not formulated the precepts hundreds of years ago, they all used precepts to prove the source. However, Yuanjue privately gave the precepts to the monks who violated the precepts and violated the precepts, and his face was ashamed after he spoke.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him and waiting for the following text, Yuanjue smiled bitterly, "This temple still practices the Pure Land Dharma, but he sees it with no way to do nothing, and wants to go to Zen to practice, so after seeking the precepts, he said that he went to Tianzhu Mountain to "Shangu Temple" to practice Zen alone."
To practice Buddhism and realize the enlightenment but the cycle of life and death, one must understand the mind and see the nature, eliminate the two confusions, and eliminate the two confusions, and eliminate the two confusions, and eliminate the two confusions, and make the two confusions difficult. Therefore, the Buddha opened the Pure Land method, and the practitioners must subdue the confusion and be reborn. After listening to Chu Nanfeng's words, the mind will be enlightened, and then they will think of purity and practice Zen. Therefore, they go to the "Shangu Temple" to practice Zen and enlighten the Tao.
Although Wu Wangbo and others also wanted to start from the government and find out where Wu was from Wu, if Gao Ruoyu had not used such methods, it would have been a lot of trouble to find Ming Wu's whereabouts from Yuanjue.
Knowing where Mingwu was going, Luo Xiaoyao was very happy and couldn't help but smile. He suddenly seemed to have something to think about. He looked at Yuan Awakening, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Gao Ruoyu saw Luo Xiaoyao's face change, and he guessed that Luo might have thought of something important. Although he guessed that Luo Xiaoyao was looking for Ming Wu to heal his father, he was inconvenient to inquire about the many twists and turns. He thought about it and looked at Luo Xiaoyao and smiled, "Do you have something to say?"
Luo Xiaoyao originally wanted to ask who else in Yuanjue Temple would be familiar with the magical power of "Tian Lei Yin", but he felt that this matter should not be known to more people. He glanced at everyone without realizing it and shook his head.
Seeing this, Gao Ruoyu thought for a moment, smiled and said to Yuanjue: "Master is here to work, and I will deal with Mingwu's affairs as appropriate... Han Yue, I will prepare a hundred taels of silver to Baoguang Temple. With Master Jia's compassionate heart, Master Luo, you will send the master out of the palace on behalf of me."
Luo Xiaoyao was happy. He did not expect Gao Ruoyu to be so understanding. He stood up and greeted him, "Thank you, Princess." He turned to look at Yuanjue with a puzzled look and bowed, "Master, please."
"Namo Amitabha, the princess is merciful, I'm leaving." Yuanjue felt suspicious and bowed to Gao Ruoyu, turned around and left the hall with Luo Xiaoyao. After leaving the palace, Yuanjue stopped, looked at Luo Xiaoyao, and said with a smile: "The little donor has something to say, but it's okay."
Although Yuanjue was honest with the monks, he was not stupid. However, when Princess Gao asked Luo Xiaoyao to send him out of the mansion, Luo Xiaoyao did not say words like obeying orders, but inexplicably thanked him. In addition, Gao Ruoyu also gave 100 taels of silver, which made the thoughts strange, so this statement was said.
Luo Xiaoyao did not expect Yuanjue to be so smart at the moment, but he suspected that he was pretending to be confused in the palace. In fact, Yuanjue was touched by Gao Ruoyu and Tan Gongfeng's words, but he was actually unaware of the invincible behavior, so he had no way to defend himself. He had a scholar who met a soldier and had no reason to explain it clearly.
Luo Xiaoyao was stunned and bowed, "Master, merciful. I have something to ask for inquiries from junior Luo Xiaoyao. Who in the temple possesses the magical power of "Tian Lei Yin"?"
Yuanjue lowered his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Little donor, I don't understand anything, I hope I will ask the little donor to solve my doubts." But he answered the question that was not right.
Luo Xiaoyao also guessed what he wanted to ask, and said, "The princess has no malice to the Mingwu monk, so the master does not have to worry."
"It's so good, good, good." Yuanjue looked up at the streets that were coming and going in the distance, and hesitated for a moment, "The little donor and others were looking for Mingwu for the sake of the Tianleiyin magic? Has anyone been hurt by this magical magic?"
Luo Xiaoyao was afraid that he would misunderstand and hurriedly said, "It's not like that."
I couldn't explain the injury of Luo Hanshui. I paused for a moment and said, "I heard that this god's function broke all the demonic obstacles, but the younger generation had an elder's soul confused, so I wanted to ask for help from those who understand the magical skills."
Yuanjue saw that there seemed to be something unspeakable in his humble expression, so he nodded, "So that's it. As the little donor said, this "Tian Lei Yin" is still the supreme great method of our Pure Land Sect, which can break through all the obstacles of the inner demons, but it is not the unique skill of my Baoguang Temple. More than 40 years ago, a monk traveled to this temple to hold a list..." At this point, he paused and walked slowly forward.
"At that time, Mingwu was a little novice monk. I thought that the monk came to make a connection with Mingwu, and after he was told that he had a magical skill, he didn't know where to go. Therefore, no one in this temple except Mingwu has learned this magical skill."
Luo Xiaoyao was very disappointed when he heard this. He was stunned for a moment and greeted him: "I am grateful to the master for his advice."
"I am merciful. I know that there are no other people in my possession of this magical power, but there are not many people. The little donor can know it. I think it is fate, so I will go to Shangu Temple to find him, or I may meet him... The little donor just stay here, I will say goodbye."
After watching Yuanjue leave, Luo Xiaoyao turned around and headed to the Nanping Palace, naturally wanted to thank Gao Ruoyu in person. As soon as he arrived at the door of the mansion, he saw Han Yue coming out of the mansion and smiling at Luo Xiaoyao: "The princess told me that Mr. Luo has something to do, but you can deal with it first. If you are free, please let Commander Lin inform me. It will not be too late to talk to me again."
Luo Xiaoyao sighed in his heart, nodded, and bowed: "The princess is impressed in advance, so I would like to ask Commander Han to tell you and thank you in person the next day."
The Tongbao Pavilion is located in the street market in the east of Jiangling Prefecture City, seven miles away from the royal palace. When Luo Xiaoyao walked through two streets, he seemed to feel someone following him, so he slowed down. When he reached a street intersection, he quickly turned right, stopped for a while, and looked back at the intersection. However, he saw a crowd on the street with a man wearing a hat turned around and smiled bitterly in his heart. He thought that Gao Ruoyu sent someone to follow him. After the man disappeared at the distant intersection, he also left quickly after observing for a while.
Fang Yuan in the hall of the branch hall saw Luo Xiaoyao returning, and greeted him after he sat down and said, "I am afraid that my subordinates will not behave well, so I will think about it, so I should go to Guizhou in person. What do the young master think?"
Yesterday, he learned from Luo Xiaoyao that only Guizhou has not yet been confirmed, so he went to search for it, but he was afraid that there would be any mistakes, but he wanted to go there in person.
"Haha, I have already found out about Master Mingwu's whereabouts."
"Oh?" Fang Yuan Dan was surprised and said anxiously: "Where is the monk Ming Wu Shen?"
"Tianzhu Mountain "Shangu Temple"."
Fang Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay, haha... I'll send a message to Mr. Wu and the others immediately."
After saying that, he turned around and ordered the Archway Guard Chuanxin General Pavilion. After the arrangement was made, he came to the hall and looked at Luo Xiaoyao with a look of surprise: "How did the Young Master find Mingwu's trace?"
He was surprised when Luo Xiaoyao told him last night that Ming Wu could not be in Guizhou, but he was eager to arrange for people to go to Guizhou at that time and had not asked in detail. After learning that Ming was missing, he was calm and asked.
Luo Xiaoyao also expected Fang Yuan to have this question, and had a solution in his heart. He smiled and said, "The last time I came to Jingnan, I met a brother in the academy who was working in the Guard Camp of the Royal Mansion, so I asked him to inquire about this."
Fang Yuan knew that there were many disciples in Taibai Academy, and he did not expect Luo Xiaoyao to lie, so he smiled and said, "So that's great, very good. I will definitely go and thank you in the future."
The next night, Wu Wangbo rushed to the Jiangling branch pavilion. After discussion, he and Fang Yuan went to the "Shangu Temple" of Tianzhu Mountain overnight. After the dawn, Luo Xiaoyao remembered the words he had given to the door of the Han Yue Palace, so he came to Lin Yi's residence, hoping that he would tell Gao Ruoyu that he would agree to meet.
When we arrived at the house, Shang You came out to greet him. Before Luo Xiaoyao could speak, Shang You said, "Commander Lin went to the island in the morning. Before leaving, he told me to wait here. If the senior brother comes, he can go to Wolong Island together."
"Oh? Then Princess Gao must be on the island, no doubt." Luo Xiaoyao paused for a moment and smiled, "When will that junior brother leave?"
"After hearing my senior brother's words the day before yesterday, I told Commander Lin that he had gone north to Central Plains, and he also agreed to let me leave... He just asked me to leave after the end of the month, but I don't know why?"
"Leaving at the end of the month? I guess it was Princess Gao's intention." Luo Xiaoyao frowned, but it was elusive to think that Gao Ruoyu was unpredictable.
"Hey, this woman is scheming. The senior brother is probably going to take some thoughts to get the Water Dragon Yin back."
Luo Xiaoyao smiled, "The world is dangerous, and the court is even more serious. Let's deal with it. Haha, it can be regarded as experiencing the dangers of both the world and the court. Let's go to Wolong Island first."
When the two arrived on the island, Deacon Yan led him to the hall of Tingtaoyuan. However, when they saw Gao Ruoyu wearing a light purple dress, a high bun, and a green jade hairpin, her appearance was Qingyao and sat on the main seat. Han Yue and Ge Xiu served on both sides. When Luo Xiaoyao and Shangyou arrived, they greeted them with a smile.
He looked at Luo Xiaoyao and smiled slightly: "Young Master Luo has come today. I guess the matter of visiting Ming Wu monks has been arranged."
"As the princess expected, I will come today to thank the princess for helping her."
"Very good, very good. I wonder how Mr. Luo will repay Ruoyu's kindness for helping him?" Gao Ruoyu opened his eyes wide and looked at Luo Xiaoyao with a serious expression.
Luo Xiaoyao had never expected Gao Ruoyu to answer like this. He knew that Gao Ruoyu was too scheming and was afraid of losing her words. He was stunned for a moment.
Gao Ruoyu looked at Luo Xiaoyao with a slightly red cheek, and before he could answer, he said, "Young Master is a humble gentleman, he will not speak out, how can you thank him? Ruoyu is looking forward to it."
Luo Xiaoyao was indeed grateful for her search for Ming Wu's whereabouts. Now he knew that Gao Ruoyu was deliberately provoking each other, so he must have made some designs. After all, he was a young man's blood and spirit. With a bitter smile in his heart, he clasped his fists and said, "I don't know how the county is going to repay each other?"
But Gao Ruoyu smiled: "Ruoyu once said in the palace that the young master was injured in search of the whereabouts of the monk Ming Wu in order to find the whereabouts of the monk Ming Wu, which should be considered as compensation. How can you ask the young master to repay him? Haha, Ruoyu cannot do anything to repay him with gratitude."
In order to get the water dragon yin back, Luo Xiaoyao told Gao Ruoyu that he exchanged the Fengwuqin for the qin. Now, Gao Ruoyu was looking for the qin for her, and he listened to her preface to repay her. Later, he did not say anything to someone who wanted to repay her. He knew that she was eloquent, able to speak well, and kept her opportunities everywhere. He did not dare to answer her words.
"The day before yesterday, Ruoyu saw that the young master was not only powerful in his fists and palms, but his sword skills were even more amazing. Now the young master is without weapons... Ge Xiu, bringing a sword from the mansion for this princess. Is it suitable for Mr. Luo to have a sword in his house?"
"Affect the order." Ge Xiu, who was beside him, bowed and saluted.
Luo Xiaoyao and Shang You couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't know what Gao Ruoyu's move meant, but they guessed that the so-called sword should not be "Shuilong Yin".
After a while, Ge Xiu held a long box in his hand and placed it on the table in front of Gao Ruoyu. Gao Ruoyu opened the long box and took out a three-foot long sword. He saw that the sheath was like ink, but there was only silver ornaments wrapped in the mouth of the scabbard and the square sword dart. It was not Luo Xiaoyao's "Shuilong Yin".
Looking at Luo Xiaoyao with a puzzled face, Gao Ruoyu smiled slightly, holding the hilt in his hand and slowly pulled out the sword. However, he saw that the sword was only cut on one side, but the other side was like the back of a knife, and the blade was flashing cold light. "This sword is curved freely. It is rumored to be the sword of Yang Su, Duke of Chu of the Great Sui Dynasty. The sword is called "Jingjia". It is still given by Ruoyu and the tenth brother of the age of the hairpin. Ruoyu may have buried its spirituality and want to give it to Mr. Luo. I wonder if it will match Mr. Luo's wishes?" After saying that, he put the sword in the sheath and signaled Han Yue to take and Luo Xiaoyao.
Luo Xiaoyao took the sword and pulled it out to look carefully. He saw that the word "Shock Armor" was engraved under the hilt of the sword. The blade was faint and cold, the sword body was light, and he waved his hand slowly and on the back of the blade, but he felt that the sword intent and sword energy were integrated, and he really liked it in his heart.
To be continued...
