"I didn't do anything," Ji Pingan said, "I was just hungry and went to eat a bowl of wontons."
After finishing speaking, Xu Xiurong was still staring at him unblinkingly, with an attitude of doubt and disbelief:
"to be honest."
...Ji Ping'an sighed and said, "This time it's the truth."
Well, I did go to eat a bowl of wontons and happened to meet two old fans.
But there was no need to tell her the last sentence.
"Let me believe you." Seeing that he didn't look fake, Xu Xiurong didn't pursue the matter.
Looking out the car window, his eyes wandered far away, and suddenly he smiled again:
"I'm wondering how the people from Hanlin Academy and Huaiyuan would react if they found out that it was Qintian Supervisor Si Chen who caused this chaos."
This time is different from Mo Lin’s martial arts performance.
Ji Ping'an didn't disguise his appearance. Although there were no mobile phones in this world, everyone knew that he couldn't communicate in the blink of an eye.
But after all, so many people have seen it. If you give someone who is interested some time, they will lock him in sooner or later.
Of course, the imperial court was probably the first to know.
As for sects such as Yunhuai Academy, after all, they are "away operations" and their intelligence collection capabilities are poor.
Probably within three or two days, we may not be able to find out before the Lu Ming Banquet.
Hmm... Thinking of the Luming Banquet, Xu Xiurong restrained his playful thoughts and finally regained some of the seriousness that a prisoner should have:
"Today the literary meeting is over, and the day after tomorrow is the Deer Ming Banquet. Are you ready to meet the geniuses from all major schools?"
She didn't know yet that Ji Ping'an had already met and fought against two geniuses from Mo Lin.
"What are you preparing for? Could it be that the geniuses of other major sects have two eyes and one mouth?" Ji Ping'an smiled.
Xu Xiurong was stunned for a moment and smiled like a flower: "You have a good attitude."
Mu Yaoyao stuffed the last piece of candied fruit into her mouth, her cheeks bulging like a hamster's. Then she looked at her master, then at her senior brother, and said:
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
In her mind, the Shendu Grand Prize has nothing to do with Muyuan... She is an old salted fish.
Xu Xiurong glared at her:
"Eat yours."
No more words were spoken along the way, and when the carriage stopped again, it had returned to Qintian Prison.
After the group entered the door, they heard the supervisors discussing the conference along the way.
Apparently, news of the incident over there has been reported.
However, compared to Mo Lin Yanwu, who had suppressed the city of Gods for many days, and the Beast Control Sect, which put great pressure on his family.
Huaiyuan's martial arts performance received much less attention, and things like poems and articles were not what the practitioners cared about after all.
However, when a group of people passed by a school building, they suddenly discovered that a group of people inside were noisy, fighting to read something.
"What's going on?" Everyone stopped to watch. Upon seeing this, Huang He took the initiative to ask for help and went to inquire about the situation.
That school building was clearly his former "office", and there were also familiar Dr. Lu Ke inside, as well as several clerks from the branch.
Not long after, Huang He came back holding a book with a light yellow cover and said excitedly:
"Prince, I asked clearly. It is the "Yuanqing Ceremony" compiled by the Hanlin Academy. They have just compiled a new biography of a great practitioner. Some of us went over and brought back a batch."
Has a biography been published?
Everyone was surprised and showed interest.
It’s not surprising, as a practitioner, who doesn’t like to read the gossip of famous ancient monks?
Whether it is the overthrown "The Legend of the Master", the original "The Legend of Huayang" or the "Legend of Yuan Yun" that everyone watched together last time, they are all attractive enough.
Even "Taoist Idiot" Luo Huaizhu raised his head and stared at the little yellow book with some curiosity.
Xu Xiurong was surprised: "Whose biography is it?"
Huang He handed over the book and said:
"This time it is not our sect of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the powerful Liuli Bodhisattva of the Buddhist sect of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who was the same generation as Zhenren Liyang."
Glass Bodhisattva?
Mu Yaoyao and other Muyuan disciples were at a loss as they were relatively unfamiliar with the history of Buddhism in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The still mature and prudent middle-aged Si Li suddenly said:
"Is it the Liuli Bodhisattva who has confessed before the Buddha for hundreds of years? The one who has a 'relationship' with Zhenren Liyang?"
He pronounced the accent on the word "guan guan".
Xu Xiurong, who also remembered the content of the rumors, and the fiery-tempered female Sili both showed "connotative" expressions.
No one noticed that the leisurely smile on Ji Pingan's face slowly froze on his face.
…
…
Chang'an Street.
As the surging crowd gradually receded, a simple carriage slowly passed through the crowd and headed towards the Baita Temple in the southwest corner of the divine capital.
In the carriage, there sat a monk from the Snow Garden wearing a green robe, cloth shoes and gray eyebrows.
When I came out, I didn't expect that I was just catching up with old friends, and that I would encounter someone else by chance.
Xueting was also very knowledgeable in poetry. When he asked the young man for a few sentences from Master Zhang, he was inevitably surprised.
At the same time, I was a little confused. I really couldn't remember the origin of the other party, so I had never seen him before.
When did such a person appear in the capital of God?
There is a slight resemblance to the "He Gongzi" from some time ago, but I can't tell where the resemblance is.
What concerned him the most was not the poetry, but the verse that the other party said casually.
It's not like he was enlightened, but the more he thought about it, combined with his changes in mood in recent years and his understanding of Buddhism, there was a vague sense of sublimation of his mood.
Shaking his head, the old abbot put aside his distracting thoughts.
Opening his eyes, he felt the carriage gradually stop.
"Abbott, we have arrived at the temple." said the young monk driving the car.
Xueting said "yes", opened the car door and walked out.
In front of you is a quiet temple that has withstood wind and rain and has a history of hundreds of years.
A white stone tower stands behind the courtyard, which is where the name comes from.
Now the disciple went to knock on the door, and the old monk stepped into the temple. What he saw was a front hall, with pines and cypresses planted in the courtyard, giving it a quiet artistic conception, and the bluestone floor was extremely clean.
When a young monk saw him returning, they joined their hands and saluted.
"Abbott, you are back." In the Zen room at the back, a middle-aged monk hurried over.
Xueting smiled: "What happened?"
It is worth mentioning that the abbot often refers to the spiritual leader of a temple complex. Several temples can share the same "abbot", but a temple must have one abbot.
Master Xueting is not only the abbot of Baita Temple, but also the "abbot" of all the monks in the sacred capital.
The middle-aged monk looked bitter when he heard this. He looked at the curious monks around him and did not say anything directly.
Instead, Xueting was invited into the Zen room in the back hall.
After the door was closed, he took out a thin booklet from his arms and said:
"The "Yuanqing Grand Ceremony" compiled by the Hanlin Academy has a special volume for Liuli Bodhisattva. The content is actually... it is..."
He couldn't find the right words, but it was obviously not a good thing, at least not glorious for Buddhism.
Xueting laughed loudly when he heard this. The old monk's gray eyebrows twitched and said:
"I know what you care about. However, Bodhisattva has no form, so why should you care about those rumors?"
The middle-aged monk was ashamed to listen to the instructions and sighed:
"I am not as big as the abbot."
Xueting shook his head and said:
"All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such."
At this moment, a clear understanding appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly had a second level of understanding of this sentence. The moment he recited it, his aura changed.
…
…
"Guardian? What kind of melon?"
Four Seasons Pavilion, inside the house.
When a group of disciples filed in, pulled up the futon and sat down in their seats.
The girl in the lotus-colored skirt was impatient. She stretched out her white and tender hands to snatch the little pornographic book.
Xu Xiurong rolled her eyes, avoided the traitor, cut off her scalp with a book, and shouted:
"Sit down!"
Originally, everyone's plan was to disperse and rest, but the sudden release of the biography was extremely attractive, especially the vagueness of the middle-aged Si Li, which aroused strong curiosity.
Then he changed his itinerary and returned to the Four Seasons Pavilion with the female prison lord, ready to listen to the story.
Ji Ping'an tried to stop him, but there was no suitable excuse.
Although Xu Xiurong was stern in his words, he was also curious in his heart. After all, the rumors were vague, and the biography compiled by the Zhou Dynasty probably had more detailed content.
"Master, please tell me first, what exactly is it?"
Mu Yaoyao sat on her knees obediently, pressing her buttocks on her two calves, and raised the small antennas in her ears.
"It's a relationship." Xu Xiurong emphasized angrily.
Then, facing the pairs of eyes eager for knowledge, he slightly curved his mouth and said:
"Speaking of it, this is also a widely circulated story in the cultivation world. It is about a past incident between Zhenren Liyang and Liuli Bodhisattva.
"Well, you must be aware of Master Liyang. As for Liuli Bodhisattva, she was once very famous. But later because of this incident, Buddhism rarely mentioned her honorable name, and deliberately downplayed it. Now she is less famous. A lot."
in the corner.
Ji Ping'an sat against the wall and said nothing.
But Huang He next to him raised his hand and said:
"I have read relevant records, saying that the Buddhist Bodhisattva is equivalent to what we know as the 'viewing the sky'. The Glazed Bodhisattva is the most amazing and talented female Bodhisattva in Buddhism in the past thousand years. It’s still early for Yang Zhenren.”
It seems that you talk too much... Ji Ping'an glanced at him.
Xu Xiurong nodded slightly and said:
"That's right, the word Liuli means 'Buddha's heart is as pure as glass'. It is not troubled by the seven emotions and six desires of mortals. At that time, the spiritual essence of heaven and earth had not yet declined, and it coincided with the explosion of heaven, material and earth treasures. Strong men emerged in large numbers in Kyushu. Liuli Bodhisattva was even defeated by some People believe that it has the potential to impact a generation of Buddhist masters."
One disciple asked:
"Zhenren Liyang follows the Taoist system. It doesn't seem to be closely related to Buddhism."
Xu Xiurong nodded:
"Indeed. In fact, Liyang Zhenren didn't have much interaction with Buddhism in the first half of his life, not to mention that when he was just a monk sitting in the well, Liuli Bodhisattva had already entered the contemplation of heaven. They are not at the same level, and the fate of both parties really depends on it. The crossover is still after the Demon Slaying Conference."
Huang He said in surprise:
"You mean, after Master Liyang was wanted by the Dao Alliance?"
He had read "The Legend of Huayang" and had a clear memory of this period of history. He knew that Liyang's strength really improved by leaps and bounds after he was hunted down.
Xu Xiurong's eyes were filled with emotion and he said:
"That's right, in the past, Zhenren Liyang assassinated the son of the head of the Xihai Sect. The Taoist League thought he was colluding with the demon clan and ordered the wise people of the world to kill him.
"Of course, Li Yang is worthy of being the number one sword cultivator in the past thousand years. Faced with a life and death crisis, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. He was hunted down along the way, but his strength has not diminished but increased.
"It was against this background that the Taoist Alliance really took it seriously, and launched a large-scale siege a few years after the arrest order was issued, that is, in the 82nd year of Qianyuan."
Huang He asked: "That time in Zhuohe?"
He had read this record in "Huayang Biography", but at that time it was only mentioned in one sentence and was not elaborated on.
Xu Xiurong nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case, and then sighed:
"In that Zhuohe siege, the Dao League sent out many masters, but they forced Liyang Zhenren to break the situation and escape again. The Dao League lost face. On the one hand, it sent masters to continue the pursuit without giving him a chance to breathe. On the other hand, Then ask the Buddhists to take action and kill the traitors.
"At that time, although Buddhism was far from as powerful as it is today, there were still many strong people practicing in various states, and they formed their own sect and did not join the 'Tao Alliance'.
"And unlike the Taoist League, where most of the strong men were tied up on the front lines and difficult to move away from, although the Buddhist clan was also resisting the demon clan, there were more strong men in the rear. At that time, those who were invited to hunt down Li Yang were It’s the Glazed Bodhisattva.”
Turns out to be an enemy...
This result is slightly beyond everyone’s expectations, but if you think about it carefully, it is quite normal.
After all, Li Yang held the title of "traitor of the human race" back then and was the enemy of everyone in the world.
Xu Xiurong continued:
“But people at the time didn’t know that the Xihai Sect was the real traitor, hiding within the Dao Alliance and deliberately planning this action.
"One of the purposes is to use Li Yang as a lure to fish out the Glazed Bodhisattva and try to eradicate her. After all, she was very famous at that time, and the demon clan did not want another divine being to appear in Buddhism.
"In their plan, the best result is for the two to kill each other, and the demon clan reaps the benefits. And things are indeed developing according to the plan.
"After Zhenren Liyang escaped from Zhuohe, he went south along the waterway. When he arrived near Qiantang, he was intercepted by the Liuli Bodhisattva who came. At that time, Liuli had already entered the Observation of Heaven realm, and Liyang also broke through in the battle of Zhuoshui Success, the two sides fought to the death, and both sides were seriously injured.
"But after all, Master Liyang's promotion was too short, and he had no choice but to escape. At this moment, several demon kings from the demon clan appeared and attacked Liuli Bodhisattva. Unexpectedly, He Liuli was an unparalleled genius in Buddhism, and despite his serious injuries, he managed to survive Escaped from the siege...
"The strong demon clan did not dare to stay in the hinterland of the Central Plains for a long time. They were angry and sent clouds and rain, destroying the river embankments. The water of Qiantang River spread across the land, and a small half of the state capital turned into a human swamp. They also used great magic to disrupt the four seasons and froze Qiantang. , countless people died tragically.
"Li Yang and Liuli, who were seriously injured, were trapped in that desperate situation. It was not until a hundred days later that they reappeared in the world.
"Outsiders don't know what happened during that time. They only know that Li Yang was still being hunted, but Liuli Bodhisattva returned to the Buddhist Dajue Temple alone, proclaimed himself in the temple, knelt in front of the Buddha and repented for hundreds of years, and stayed beside the ancient Qingdeng Buddha for the rest of his life. Without taking a step outside the Buddhist temple, the state of mind has stagnated.
"After her death, people pushed open the Buddhist hall where she was, and were surprised to find that the hall was filled with 'confessions' written on banana leaves, which had piled up like a mountain.
"After the descendants spread its contents, the world knew about it. In the flood country in the past, Liuli and Liyang were forced to hide in an ancient well. The two lived in the well for a full hundred days..."
Ah this...
The star officials present looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
This plot is really too fascinating.
How big can an ancient well be?
It was outrageous enough for two people to spend a hundred days together inside, but after the results came out, Liuli Bodhisattva had this reaction again.
No one can stop thinking about it.
"Then what is written in the confession?"
The female Sili asked anxiously, her eyes not hiding the strong expectation.
The other disciples also had similar expressions, saying it was not a big deal to eat melon.
Xu Xiurong shook his head and said:
"I don't know either, but since the Hanlin Academy compiled this biography, I think I won't miss this section."
Mu Yaoyao groaned:
"Quick Kang Kang!"
Xu Xiurong glared at her and hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be fine for public reading of a grand ceremony published by the imperial court, so he turned over the pages of the book.
The previous pages were filled with the life experiences of Liuli Bodhisattva. Xu Xiurong quickly flipped through them without stopping.
Keep reading according to the date until "the 83rd year of Qianyuan Dynasty".
Then he suddenly stopped, and saw a "Confession" written in the first person and without any emotion suddenly appeared on the paper:
[Disciple Liuli, confess to my Buddha, and live in an ancient well with Li Yang for a hundred days]
[The first day, breaking the precept of killing]
[On the fifth day, breaking the precept of stealing]
[Day 15, breaking the precept of lying]
[Day 37, breaking the drinking habit]
[Day 52, breaking the precept of sexual immorality]
…
[The five precepts of Buddhism are all broken. Disciples kowtow. I, the Buddha, will punish me, Amitabha.]
…
ps: typos should be corrected first and then corrected
