There was an explosion in the small meditation hall, and a group of great monks who had been cultivating their minds for many years couldn't help but become agitated, with anger and surprise on their faces.
"Brother, how is this possible?" Monk Fadu, the elder of Prajna Hall, stood up from his seat anxiously, "Not to mention Uncle Xuanyue, there are two senior brothers, Fapu and Fakong, who are also rare masters in the world. Ah, who can harm them? How could anyone harm them?"
The martial arts monks of Kuchan Temple are all in Luohan Hall, Prajna Hall and Bodhidharma Hall. Fakong and Fapu Neng are the leaders of the two halls. Their martial arts attainments are unusual. Fadu has been with them day and night for decades, so he naturally knows them very well. I really can't believe that someone could harm them.
What's more, there is also an old monk named Xuan Yue who is the best martial arts master...
"Amitabha!" Fa Xiang clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddha's name, then slowly looked at Fa Du, shook his head and replied, "Oh, I didn't believe it at first, but the official document of the Sikong Mansion of the imperial court clearly stated, 'Suffering' A group of nine eminent monks from the Zen Temple were all unfortunately killed while protecting Prince Yi in Uehara, Pingzhou City, Shanghe County...'How can there be any lie in this?"
"Bang!" Monk Fazheng clapped his hands heavily on the tea table next to him and said angrily, "Didn't the imperial court recruit Uncle Xuan Yue and the others to deal with the Jue people? Why did they become the bodyguards of King Yi!"
"That's right!" Monk Fayan agreed, "If it's to assassinate foreign enemies and protect the country's peace, we can't say anything. However, asking us monks to serve as guards for his royal family, what kind of talk is that! Brother abbot, this time Whatever you say, you have to ask the court for an explanation!"
For a time, all the monks thought so.
"Junior brother, as a monk, you should always avoid anger and anger!" the Dharma Prime Minister scolded in a deep voice.
After hearing the abbot's words, Fazheng and Fayan immediately calmed down a lot. They clasped their hands together, nodded in unison and said, "This is what senior brother taught me."
The Dharma Prime Minister ignored them and glanced at the faces of the brothers and sisters in the hall. He saw that they were either chanting sutras with their eyes closed, or they were bowing their heads in silence, or they were looking at him with puzzled faces...
"Although Buddhism is good, it is not at the mercy of others. This matter originated from the imperial court. I will ask the imperial court for an explanation." Dharma Prime Minister twisted the Buddhist beads and said coldly, "It's just that in the battle of Pingshangyuan, Prince Yi and his mansion None of the more than 600 relatives and followers who were there survived. Why Master Xuanyue and the others appeared there is currently unclear. It may not be that they were coerced by the imperial court."
"What? King Yi and more than 600 guards..." Fadu asked in shock.
The Faxiang looked solemn and nodded slightly. His uncle, junior brother, and nephew disappeared without any explanation. He was naturally angry, but the strength of the enemy was also obvious. He wanted to find out the murderer and get an explanation for the nine people, but he was worried that more disciples would get involved. As the abbot, he had to weigh the pros and cons.
All the great monks finally understood the embarrassment faced by Dharma Prime Minister, and they all remained silent.
"Uncle Xuanyue was killed. This matter should be reported to the uncles of Xuanzi generation." Faxiang said his decision, "Tonight I will go to the Sutra Pavilion to report to the four uncles!"
... ...
"I am willing to go through fire and water!" Yu Lingyi replied with a salute. He had been deeply blaming himself for failing to protect Duanmu Lan. He asked Duanmu Yu several times to apologize, but he was not allowed. At this moment, if I hear an assignment, I will gladly accept it.
Duanmuyu continued: "Recently, I was sorting out my father's belongings and accidentally found twelve old letters. When I opened them, I was really surprised." As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, who wrote it? What did it write?" Duanmu Keqi asked. He thought that if he could surprise the emperor, he would not be an ordinary person.
"Uncle King Qi, have you ever heard of King Leiyang and King Julu?" Duanmuyu shook his head and asked with a smile instead of answering him.
Not only Duanmu Ke, but also Xu Qianmeng and Yu Lingyi also shook their heads.
"I have never heard of it before. I found it out after looking through the books." Seeing the doubts on the faces of the three of them, Duanmu Yu did not show off and said eloquently: "Back then, our ancestors were defeated all the way in the Central Plains. Most of the royal family members They all moved to Yinyang with the army. However, there were still some relatives who had not caught up with the southward evacuation brigade and stayed in the Central Plains. They were hunted down by the Xia family, and some died soon after, while others quietly hid themselves. Among the relatives and nobles who did not come to Yinyang back then, there were King Leiyang and King Julu."
"Oh?" Xu Qianmeng somewhat understood what Duanmuyu meant.
"The fiefdom of King Leiyang was Leiyang City, which is now Hanzhou in Xiahe County of Dahua; the fiefdom of King Julu was Julu City, which is Jianzhou in what is now Zhulan County of Dahua. At that time, the Xia family had a strong military force, and Lei Yang Yanghe Julu was quickly captured. They took their families and prepared to go south to Yinyang, but found that the gate of Pinan had been sealed and heavily guarded, so they had to sneak back secretly and hide under a pseudonym. Later, the ancestors returned again Yin Yang established the Jue Kingdom, and they tried to move south several times, but failed and had to give up."
"There is such a thing! I have never heard of it." Duanmu Ke propped up his body and leaned forward. He is a direct descendant of the royal family, and he knows the ins and outs of the Duanmu clan best. He didn't expect to know anything about this matter, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"This is a secret from more than 300 years ago. The envelope has accumulated dust. I'm afraid my father may not have read it." Duanmuyu replied, "Seven of these twelve letters were written by King Leiyang. , the remaining five letters were written by King Julu. There seems to be no continuity between the letters. There must be omissions in them. It seems that something went wrong during the transmission of the letter and it was not delivered. I can only tell from the letter that Lei The Yangwang clan changed their surname to Xu and hid in Nenzhou in Tankou County; the Julu King changed their surname to Chen and hid in Ganshui City in Fanxi County."
"Your Majesty, do you want to find them as Jue's internal agents in Dahua?" Xu Qianmeng said with a smile.
Duanmuyu clasped his fingers lightly and nodded after a while, "King Leiyang and King Julu are both county kings. Their descendants are all of my Duanmu family's blood, and they should serve the Jue Kingdom. According to what is said in the letter. , the money and retainers of the two kings were not damaged in the war. In order to avoid being hunted by the Xia family, they changed their names, recruited experts from the world, and started to travel around the world. "
"Jianghu?" Xu Qianmeng asked softly, and then answered to himself, "Yes, we have always been poor in culture and rich in military affairs. Any family with some money will inevitably hire someone to look after the home and care for the courtyard, let alone the two major feudal princes. There is countless money, and there is no shortage of experts. After so many years, I don’t know what has become of these two families.”
"Master, what you are entrusted with this time is to find these two families and persuade them to return to the Duanmu clan and serve our country!" Duanmuyu looked at Yu Lingyi and said seriously. After seeing Qingxuan's skills with his own eyes, he has realized that the power of Jianghu may not be able to overthrow a dynasty.
After all, Qingxuan had already accomplished something on his own that hundreds of thousands of Dahua troops could not do.
From this point of view, sometimes, a top master may be more useful than a hundred thousand armored army.
"Your Majesty, I will do my best to achieve this!" Yu Lingyi stood up from the mat and bowed back.
