The corner of Kumarajiva's mouth curled up slightly, and then he regained his inherent calmness: "You are really pervasive. You can even know such secret things. I am really lucky that Yao Xing doesn't have you. Otherwise, I am afraid that the thousands of monks in the entire temple, and even the entire Qin Kingdom, will be sent to the West in advance."
Doupeng smiled and shook his head: "You should indeed be grateful for this. What you should be even more grateful for is that in fact, on two occasions, your two students were exposed when they had secret contact with Liu Bobo. If it hadn't been for me I'll help you deal with it in time, I'm afraid that what you were worried about just now has already happened. Yao Xing is not an incompetent person. Even beside Liu Bobo, he has his informant, and Liu Bobo, an iron-clad Hun, has the ability to engage in intelligence , obviously much worse than his ability to fight."
Kumarajiva's expression changed and he opened his eyes: "Is there such a thing? Are you lying to me? My disciples always met Liu Bobo directly and alone in secret, and there was no third person present. How could the news leak out?"
Doupeng smiled and shook his head: "Great monk, can you let your six deaf-mute disciples come out of the ground now? If I really want to do you harm, they will not be able to save you in time. "
Kumarajiva's face suddenly turned red, and his teeth were chattering. In the eyes of the world, this eminent monk was as if he were the living Buddha. If anyone saw his current appearance, they would definitely suspect that there was something wrong with his eyes, but Finally, he took a deep breath, stood up, and gently extinguished the three incense sticks in the alms bowl behind him. Soon, the ground shook slightly, and there was some slight water movement in the water tank outside. Soon, the small building returned to normal, and even the smell of sandalwood disappeared.
Doupeng nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job. The deaf and mute disciples lurked underground, on the beams, and in the water tanks outside. You only commanded them by smell. This way, you don't have to worry about the news leaking out. It's a pity. Liu Bobo has the same thoughts as you. Although he has great martial arts skills, he is not big enough to meet your two disciples alone. You must know that in this world, assassinations and assassinations are endless. Even Liu Yu , and I can’t guarantee that I will always be foolproof. Unfortunately, among Liu Bobo’s personal secret guards, there are Yao Xing’s dead men.”
Kumarajiva gritted his teeth: "If Yao Xing had the ability to ambush his own people among his personal soldiers, why didn't this person just kill Liu Bobo?"
Doupeng shook his head: "Liu Bobo is very shrewd. The experience of his family being destroyed since he was young has given him not only the heart of a wolf, but also the cunning of a fox. He has more than ten substitutes, and he is also proficient in disguise. In this way, he often pretends to be a guard and has his substitute pretend to be himself acting in front. He often uses Yao Xing's secret guards to deliberately convey false military information. The reason why Yao Xing has repeatedly defeated him is more than half. It is because of this false information that he suffered countless secret losses. Therefore, the surviving secret guard no longer dares to assassinate easily, because he is not even sure whether the Liu Bobo in his eyes is himself! "
Kumarajiva sighed: "But such an important thing as secretly communicating with my disciples can be handled with a substitute? If the news leaks out, wouldn't it kill me? Who would dare to cooperate with him? "
Doupeng laughed: "Your death is your business, what does it have to do with him? Yao Xing is polite to you out of the need to educate his people and give them spiritual sustenance, but Liu Bobo, a Huns barbarian, is not Need, maybe, he also wants Yao Xing to find out that you have betrayed him, collaborated with the enemy and the country, and killed you in a rage, so that Qin will be further in civil strife!"
Kumarajiva was speechless for a long time, and then he sighed: "Perhaps I was too hasty in choosing to cooperate with Liu Bobo, but Yao Xing destroyed my country, broke my precepts, and prevented me from becoming a Buddha, yet he still allowed me to Living in fear and resentment all the time, is it wrong for me to find someone to avenge me?"
Doupeng shook his head: "I know, great monk, in your heart, the person you want to send to the West the most is Yao Xing. The third is Yao Xing, the second is Lu Guang, and the first is me. However, I know you think so. , but I still keep you, even protect you, cooperate with you, and give you the opportunity to spread your Buddhism to the world. Do you know why?"
Kumarajiva said bitterly: "Because you want to use me. You have no foundation in the north or in Guanzhong. You can only rely on me to carry out conspiracy. I don't believe that you will have any kind intentions. If one day I It’s no longer useful to you, you will be more heartless to me than Liu Bobo!”
Doupeng smiled and nodded: "So, great monk, you have to make yourself useful and valuable, so as not to betray me, right? However, you were right just now. Now in Hou Qin, you are The only thing I can borrow is that I promised you before that I would open the door for you to spread Buddhism in the south. I have not broken the promise in the past two years. In Jingzhou and even Jiankang, your disciples have successfully opened doors. If it weren’t for my help, how could the temple be like this?”
Kumarajiva sneered and said: "If you hadn't followed the promise, I would have asked my disciples to take your life just now. Doupeng, no matter how powerful you are, this is my territory. If you want to escape, you can't." So easy."
Doupeng blinked his eyes, stuffed the last piece of dried tofu into his mouth, chewed it, and nodded with satisfaction while eating: "It tastes really good, this vegetarian dish can taste like meat, no wonder you monks If you can eat it for many years, I will send your food monks to the south later. Rather than Buddhist teachings, I hope they can pass on their vegetarian cooking skills."
Kumarajiva said angrily: "You might as well find a way to help me let Liu Bobo defeat Yao Xing as soon as possible. If the Later Qin collapses, I can go to the south by myself. This way, I can end this kind of life-threatening life as soon as possible." .”
Doupeng shook his head: "Great monk, sometimes you are extremely smart, and sometimes you are as stupid as a stupid cow. Just now I said that you have to be useful to me so that I can keep you, and you are of greatest use to me now. , it is here in the north, in this pass that you can become my ally and help me achieve my goals. If you don’t stay here anymore, do you think you can be of any use to me in the south? You don’t really think that I believe in your Buddhist teachings. Reincarnate and practice, hoping to ascend to heaven after death."
Kumarajiva frowned: "Isn't it the ten-thousand-year peace plan you want? Let this pass fall into the hands of the Hun Tiefu, and it will bleed for thousands of miles, and no one will survive. What good will it do to you?"
