Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

"General Li, others are fine. Don't you know how famous your Lord Jin is in Silla?" Tang Wuyi said to General Li with a sarcasm.

"This..." General Li was at a loss for words for a while, Jin Ximing had raised many faces in Silla, and it was no secret in the royal family that he liked men.But he is the only younger brother of King Silla, so no one dares to comment.I heard that the noodle heads in Prince Jin's mansion will be changed every few months, and the whereabouts of many of the noodle heads that enter the mansion are unknown.Therefore, among the people in Silla, there are many people who pass the King of Gold as the King of Ghosts, who specializes in eating young men's essence|yuan.Later, King Jin ran into Mr. Cui He when he was on a mission to Dazhou, and he desperately wanted to follow him to practice in Shaolin.The king of Silla was very troubled by this younger brother. Hearing that he wanted to practice Buddhism, he stopped messing around and happily sent him to Shaolin, hoping that he could reform himself.

General Li let out a breath from his nose: "Our King Jin has a body of golden branches and jade leaves, but he has raised a few more slaves, and it's not your turn to talk about it!"

Tang Wuyi said: "I don't care about King Jin in Xinluo, but if you kill someone in my Dazhou territory, you should pay for your life!"

General Li said: "It's just a few Shaolin monks, so what if my prince killed him? We in Silla have our own gold, silver, and silk to send as an apology. What I'm asking now is, who killed my prince!"

"Stop talking!" Master Mingshan suddenly let out a long cry.Just now when General Li and Tang Wuyi came and went, they forgot that he had been standing there, insisting that he was the murderer.At this moment, I saw that his face was full of sorrow, his pain could not be expressed, and there seemed to be thousands of words in his chest, but he could not express them.He knelt down slowly, looked at the crowd and said: "All of this is attributed to the poor monk. Please stop the abbot, the master of the Tang Pavilion, and General Li. The poor monk is at your disposal, and you can bring it back to the Dongdu Pavilion. Take it back to Silla, this matter, let’s stop here.” After he finished speaking, he slammed his head on the ground, and within a few slaps, his forehead was already bright red.

Wen Tao hurried over to support Master Mingshan and said, "Master, don't do this."

Seeing him like this, everyone was deeply saddened and full of doubts on the one hand. They didn't know whether to speak or not, so they only heard Tang Wuyi say: "Master Mingshan, you don't have to do this. You can't help him atone for his sins by doing this. Some things, let go Only in the sun can it be completely clean."

Tang Wuyi paused for a moment, seeing that Mingshan was in great pain, he said, "If you don't want to say it, I will. Master Mingshan, you are from Xinluo."

"What?" There was a sound of astonishment, not only the elders were dumbfounded, but even General Li couldn't believe it.

"Abbot, Master Mingshan is from Silla, am I right?" Tang Wuyi asked the abbot.

Abbot Wuxiang frowned and said, "That's right. Ming Shan entered Shaolin 15 years ago during the Renzi Rebellion in Silla."

In the Renzi Rebellion, King Zhaohua of Silla was killed by the nobles of the royal family at that time. Silla was in turmoil overnight, and the blood of the royal family flowed like a river. Finally, the eldest son of King Zhaohua, who was supported by generals, is the current King Chong of Silla. After gaining power and killing the nobles who rebelled back then, the matter was quelled.In those turbulent years, countless nobles from Silla fled abroad, and many of them fled to Dazhou.

"I am the lecturer of the prince and the prince of the year." Master Mingshan said slowly, "I was supposed to be by their side to protect them all the time, but when the rebel army broke through the imperial city and killed the king, I ran away timidly. The eldest son had already been sent out at that time, while the prince was left in the palace, watching his father being murdered|humiliated..."

Everyone gasped, the Shaolin people didn't know the inside story, but General Li, Tang Jingxiao and Tang Wuyi knew more or less.The leader of the rebel army was arrogant and brutish, and tortured King Zhaohua to death in front of the rebels. The Prince Jin, who was only a child of seven or eight years old, actually witnessed this scene...

Master Mingshan said sadly: "After I escaped, I entered the Buddhist gate in Dazhou, and there was not a single day that I did not repent. A few years ago, I met Prince Jin again by chance, and his temperament has changed drastically. When he was young, he was extremely cheerful and lively. He is a child who loves to laugh. But... after that incident, he has become the golden ghost king according to the folklore, feeding and killing young men. I am deeply saddened. If I hadn't been timid to escape back then and had been by his side, Prince Jin will never become what he is today."

Tang Wuyi said: "Master Mingshan, so this time Lord Jin followed Mr. Cui to Shaolin to practice, and he committed all kinds of crimes here, and you have been helping him to cover up."

Master Mingshan nodded silently, staring at Cui He and said: "Your Highness loves Young Master, Young Master must understand."

Cui He hesitated and said, "I just want to persuade him with the Buddhist law."

Ming Shan said: "I know Mr. Cui's intentions are good. At the beginning, I was very happy, thinking that the prince can escape the demons. I don't want the prince to ask for the son, but he is a beast. On that day, it was the day when Xuanyi disappeared. One night, after knocking on the third watch, I went down the Drum Tower. I saw the prince staggering towards the meditation room. His face was very different and his eyes were bloodshot. He was unconscious and his body was covered in blood. I hurriedly helped him back to the meditation room and helped him. Cleaned up the blood on the clothes. After he woke up a little, he told me that he had killed a Shaolin disciple in the Dharma Cave. I was terrified. In the cave at the back of the mountain, I hid the body in the cave overnight, and quickly disposed of the floor mats. Turn the ones with less blood stains to the wrong side, and replace them with new ones. I am an elder in the temple, and I have keys everywhere. It's almost dawn."

Ming Shan continued: "On the second day, I saw that the prince was not unusual, and thought that he might have lost his mind for a while. Unexpectedly, after more than ten days, he actually said to me, thank you teacher for protecting him, and he still needs my help tonight. He At that time, his vision was really like a devil. I persuaded him a few words, but he said that I owed him the rebellion of Renzi back then... So many times, on the night when Xuan Ding disappeared, he said that he saw Xuan Ding go to Dharma Dong, Xuan Ding is the most handsome person in the temple. He must make a move. He is afraid of being discovered, so he asked me to pretend to be him in his room, so that no one would find that he was not in the meditation room when someone came. So I called a disciple to help me knock Drum, I stayed in the prince's room as Wen Taoist said, just in time to meet Mr. Cui coming."

"So, every time, Master Mingshan, you helped King Jin deal with the aftermath, deal with the scene, and hide the body in the cave in the back mountain." Tang Wuyi said, "You are really his good teacher!"

Master Mingshan knocked his head heavily on the ground and said: "The poor monk is guilty, the crime is heinous..."

At this time, everyone in the court had mixed feelings. Behind these murders, there were so many deep sins hidden.Wen Tao closed his eyes, and seemed to be able to see the helpless and terrified eyes of the young Prince Jin during the Renzi Rebellion, several Shaolin disciples who died innocently and tragically in front of the Buddha statue in the Dharma Cave of Shaolin Temple, and the regretful Master Mingshan carried the corpse on his back late at night, and walked in the opposite direction on the road of atonement, going farther and farther until he fell into the abyss...
