The monk who is going to cross me is bent

"Tomorrow morning, the plague season will be announced."

"Notify all state capitals to strictly control the north-south traffic, and prohibit people from the north from smuggling. The south is blocked along the river, and the people here are not allowed to pass. If there are any exceptions, the name must be registered in the register. Only after I give special approval can the trip take place."

In the middle of the night, the lights of the palace were still on, and Buran was wearing the heavy official clothes of the eldest princess, her brows were deeply furrowed, and she suppressed her anxiety.

An official handed her a roster of applicants for the North Crossing. She looked at them one by one, and said, "I remember that Master Guxu, the head of the Buddhist sect, made preparations for the North Crossing a few days ago, and he even fought me. Greetings, saying that we will lead the monks of the monastery to the north to rescue the sick...an order, the officials along the way, must respect the people in the Buddhist sect, and do not make things difficult."

The official presented another brochure, "His Royal Highness, the princess in the palace, also presented the brochure."

Bu Ran was stunned, "...Liu Liu? Show it to me."

Fang Liu has never been involved in government affairs, except for holidays and birthdays when he has to hand in papers, he almost never takes the initiative to hand in papers, which is very rare.

Buran opened the booklet, and after reading it at a glance, her delicate eyebrows were immediately knit together.

The official looked at the eldest princess's expression and pondered in his heart, wondering what did the crown prince with a bad bloodline say in the notebook?That made the eldest princess so displeased.

Buran closed the folder with a "snap", threw it aside, and said angrily, "I used to run outside every day, and I didn't pursue it anymore, but now is the time to run around? Order - during the plague period, sexual intercourse is not allowed." Step out of the palace!"

She rarely paced anxiously in the hall, "I'm going to ask the emperor's imperial decree, I think he still has the guts to resist the decree and not obey it?"

When Fang Liu was kneeling to receive the order, his face was very calm, and he didn't show any inappropriate expression in front of everyone.

He received the first letter from Chi Wang, and stayed up for two nights, urging all the medicine farmers and medicine gardens within the Jiangnan forces to release medicine urgently.

Under his full pressure, Lan Shantang sent the medicine to Jiangbei five hours faster than Hemerophyllus Tang and the government, which relieved Jiangbei's urgent need.

In Chi Wang's letter, it was written in black and white that he was not allowed to cross the river.

Fang Liu misses him very much after not seeing each other for a winter. He waited until the river melted, but he didn't expect the plague to come back along with it.

Just why not let him cross the river?Is it because Chi Wang doesn't have the confidence to keep him safe?

There is no precedent for Jiangbei to successfully treat the plague. His brother Xiaochi is fighting every day at the place closest to the source of the plague.

The uneasiness in Fang Liu's heart became heavier, making him restless every day.

He was the passer-by at that time, and he wanted to obtain the identity of crossing the road. If Chi Wang allowed him to cross the river, he would definitely be dispatched immediately.

But they waited for an imperial decree that was like confinement.

Fang Liu sent the envoy away, and the respect on his face disappeared without a trace.

Buran, what are you trying to do?Why do you do this to me?

He lingered in his yard until late at night, but he did not expect to receive a second letter from Chi Wang.

Opening the letter, he laughed.

He burned the letter carefully, turned around and went back to the house, changed into a night clothes, equipped with his own two swords, and turned out of the yard.

In the imperial palace, in the ancestral temple of the emperor of the Zhong Dynasty, Buran and the empress kneeled in front of each other, kneeling in a courteous manner.

The emperor's face was ugly and his voice was weak, "Xiao Ran, how is the situation now?"

Bu Ran saluted, and replied: "It's very bad. Looking at the entire Northland, only the believers in the territory of the Tianshan Sect are safe and sound from this epidemic. The Tianshan Sect has already begun to send people to preach in the Northland, claiming that only those who join The Tianshan Sect will not be punished by the heavens and suffer from the plague, and a large number of desperate people in the northern border have joined the Tianshan Sect, and the leader has begun to distribute the antidote."

"The towns near the Beidi Mountains have fallen. Many officials of our dynasty had already colluded with the Tianshan Sect. They just sat by and waited for the situation to succeed, and then immediately defected. The antidote... has not been found yet."

Buran took a deep breath, "The rebel army has begun to take shape, if this continues..."

The emperor's body swayed, and when he heard the bad news, he was so enraged that he couldn't hold on anymore.

Bu Ran immediately called out: "Aunt Huang? Come here! Please doctor."

The emperor held her hand tightly: "Xiaoran, please kneel for a while longer in the ancestral temple for the emperor's aunt... You can't be disrespectful to your ancestors..."

Buran sent the emperor back to the bedroom in person, and then returned to the ancestral temple.

She took a lantern and said to the maid next to her, "Back off", then she pushed aside the ancestral hall of the Emperor Zhongchao and walked in alone.

The ancestral temple of the royal family of the Zhong Dynasty is dedicated to the ancestors of the Fang family.Buran knelt at the door and kowtowed, then walked in carefully, and stopped in front of a portrait inside.

Everyone in the royal family has been required to cultivate both civil and military skills since childhood.Among the portraits with guns, only one holds a sword and stands sideways on the city wall, watching the residents under the snow-capped mountains in the north.

This portrait is Fang Er, the second emperor of the Zhong Dynasty.Among the portraits of women in the ancestral hall, he is a rare male emperor.

But he was also an emperor who was even more handsome than the female emperor. History books recorded his good looks, but also faithfully recorded his life's achievements.

This portrait was painted when Emperor Ming was 40 years old. He led the army in the Beidi Mountains, personally quelled the chaos at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and finally completed the unification of the Zhong Dynasty in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and entered the rule of the prosperous age.

Now, after a hundred years, the northern border has suffered from this disaster again, facing the danger of being divided by a cult.

Buran knelt down again.

She was full of sorrow: "If the ancestors of Emperor Ming are above, please bless the descendants of the Fang family... Among all the former emperors, sister Xun likes you the most, so I beg you on her behalf to let Zhongchao get through the difficulties smoothly."

She prayed silently for a long time, but when she looked up, at this angle, she suddenly found that the portrait of Emperor Zhongming under the candlelight seemed a little different from the portrait painted at the same time next to it.

The picture scroll looks a little thicker.Bu Ran looked sideways for a while, then suddenly frowned.

But before she could do anything, an urgent report was sent directly to the ancestral hall.

"Princess Baochang—an hour ago, when Master Guxu was walking to the river, he was attacked not far from the ferry, and he was poisoned by a strange poison. Now his life is dying, and the accompanying monks are escorting the master to the imperial city."

Buran paused, "Who dares to act presumptuously at the foot of the imperial city!? It is said that the imperial physician will go to treat him immediately. Master Guxu is the head of the Buddhist sect. There must be no mistakes, and the decree is to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

She felt that this matter was extraordinary, and said anxiously: "Why do you want to attack the head of the Buddhist sect?... The abnormal monster, the minion of the Tianshan Sect, has already extended to the south... Wait, come! Come!"

Bu Ran sternly said: "Xuan Fangliu enters the palace immediately! Now! Immediately!"

"Yes, princess!"

The palace servants responded quickly, "Eldest Princess... Young Master Fang is not at the residence."

Buran took a step back as if he hadn't stood still, and changed his color: "Chasing! Send the cavalry and chase him back immediately!"

The palace man took the order to leave, Bu Ran calmed down after gasping for breath.

She turned around and returned to the Jongmyo.

Perhaps at this time, she didn't know what to do, she stood there for a moment, and fell deeply on the ground.

"I have a thin blood in the royal family. I pray to the spirits of the ancestors in heaven to bless Sister Xun's safety...Liu Liu must also be safe."

She let out a long sigh: "Sister Xun and I always have a way to go home. But Liuliu... is different, he must not have an accident!"

Fangliu traveled dozens of miles at night, and it was already the eve of the morning, when he arrived at the ferry house inside the riverside gate, he met the signal that there was no main entrance, and immediately ordered people to get out of the boat.

But at this moment, a bright torch appeared on the official road, and the sound of horseshoes quickly came from far to near, and someone shouted: "Little prince, stay!"

Fang Liu's face suddenly changed: "Why did you chase me here? Go!"

At night, the river was rushing, and Fang Liu boarded the boat and was washed away from the shore by the river.

The horse team stopped by the river and they all shouted: "Little Prince Fang, are you trying to resist the order?"

Fang Liu bit his lip. In the current situation, he could only turn around and run away, and he would beat him to death later and refuse to admit it.But if they were caught by them now, it would be hard to tell.

The boat drifted farther and farther away, at this moment, a black figure jumped from the river bank, and jumped straight onto Fang Liu's boat.

The boat shook violently, and Fang Liu's reaction was extremely fast. Before he could stand still, both swords drew out their sheaths and stabbed at him as fast as lightning.

Compared with the turbulent South Bank, the Putuo Temple in Jiangbei can be described as peaceful.

Chi Wang and Zi'an agreed on the hospital room, and when they came out of the Sutra Pavilion, it was already late at night.

Chi Wang had just recovered from his illness, so he and Zi An stayed up all night, repeatedly speculating and finalizing several feasible prescriptions.Finalize the case, make medicines, test medicines, adjust, and repeat this process. After all this tossing, when finally there are some clues, the sky is almost dawn.

Although he didn't complain a word, he was indeed tired.

He and the monk walked in the temple wearing the stars and wearing the moon. Putuo Temple in the middle of the night was a little quieter than other places.

When passing by the Buddhist temple, he saw many believers who could not fall asleep at this time and were devoutly chanting sutras and chanting Buddha outside the Buddhist temple. A loved one recovers from the plague.

Chi Wang listened for a moment, then laughed and said, "What's the use of sitting here every day chanting Amitabha and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's blessing? The ones who are really protecting them and are willing to risk their lives to save them are us standing outside the temple." People in the world are stupid. When the world is stable, they don’t think about eating fast, reciting Buddha’s name, and making good bodhi vows. When it’s time to seek peace of mind, the temples are full of incense, and there are so many people that they can’t be driven away.”

Zian stopped in his tracks and looked at him disapprovingly.

But before the monk could open his mouth, Chi Wang rushed to say: "You Buddhas have said it themselves, it is useless to hold the Buddha's feet temporarily-'If you see me with your color and ask me with your voice, you are walking in an evil way and cannot see the Tathagata'. Why, I just translated what your Buddha said into the vernacular that suits the current situation, how can you still say that your Buddha is wrong?"

Zi'an shook his head, stopped talking to him, and started walking again to send Chi Wang back to the hut where he lived in the temple.

Chi Wang had already prepared a basket of quotations in his belly. As long as the monk opened his mouth to explain, he could use the spear of the son and the shield of the son to attack the son's shield, and use Buddhist scriptures and interpretations of eminent monks of all dynasties to explain the monk's speech. Mouth speechless.

But the monk didn't take offense, and let Chi Wang's evil fire just hit the soft cotton.

Since the attack can't come out, he can only swallow it back, which makes Chi Wang even more depressed.

The monk's lips moved slightly, chanting something silently.Chi Wang concentrated for a moment, only to realize in astonishment that the monk was reciting scriptures, and the meaning of this scriptures was to ask the Buddha to stop talking.

People in Buddhism pay attention not to do bad things. Doing evil is creating karma, and talking nonsense is also a kind of bad karma, which will contaminate karma.

He stayed with the monk for a whole day, but had he ever seen him commit oral karma?Chi Wang immediately understood that the bald donkey recited sutras for him because he felt disrespectful to the Buddha.

Zian thinks that he just said false words, and he will get bad retribution if he creates karma, and now he is chanting sutras to eliminate his karma.

So Chi Wang raised the breath that he had finally suppressed in his stomach, and immediately raised it.

He has always been used to being free and easy, even if there is retribution, why has he ever been afraid?Where is the need for a bald donkey to be affectionate and suffer on his behalf?

He was about to have a seizure, but just as he turned his head, he saw the monk's handsome face under the moonlight, with a gentle and peaceful expression, which was very similar to the old man in his old dream....

In a daze, the evil fire became much smaller in an instant, and it was pressed back into the stomach tremblingly.

The monk chanted scriptures silently, Chi Wang walked behind him for a while, and his heart was also calm.

He recalled what happened just now, and realized that he was simply finding fault on purpose.

This monk looks so much like Zhuang Yan, if he wants to make a good impression, then he shouldn't confront him like this.But for some reason... when he saw the monk, he felt an uncontrollable fire.

It was also thanks to the monk's young age, but his self-cultivation is not low, and his gentle and gentle attitude just tolerated his unreasonable troubles.

Chi Wang looked at his back, and after the anger subsided, other emotions slowly surged.

He calmed down and was obediently led back to the residence by the monk, feeling a little sad for some reason.

No matter how long the road is, there will always be an end.

The monk opened the door for him, but saw that Chi Wang was unwilling to go in.

Zi An always knew what he was thinking, and immediately asked, "What else is there?"

Chi Wang folded his arms and looked at him, "The Buddha said reincarnation in three generations, but how can he prove that reincarnation really exists?"

Zi'an replied calmly, "The Buddha told all his disciples: Human life is the endowment of the body. What the naked eye sees can no longer see where it came from in the previous life. Therefore, it will die of old age. In the future life, if you receive the body shape again, you will not be able to know the present life again. matter."

He paused, looked at Chi Wang quietly and said, "With the wisdom of Chi Benefactor, he should have read this sutra."

Chi Wang nodded and said without denying: "You Buddhas believe that when you are shackled in the flesh, you can't see where you came from in the previous life, and you can't see where you go after life, old age and death. Repeat this process involuntarily. , but every life is ignorant and ignorant."

"One life, one death, one's consciousness changes. Twelve causal relationships, ignorance is the main one. I am in a daze, and I don't know the reason." Chi Wan walked to his side and stopped. He didn't look up at him, but his voice seemed Gentle, "Monk, tell me, what does this mean?"

This scripture originated from a bhikkhuni who asked the Buddha whether there really are six reincarnations after death?The Buddha used this scripture to answer her doubts.

Chi Wang recited this scripture, saying that people suffer from reincarnation, and when death and life alternate, the consciousness of soul and soul ceases to exist.And "ignorance and ignorance" make people unable to see the cause and condition of past and future, and unable to break away from reincarnation. Even if they are reborn as human beings, they will not remember anything.

Zi'an only said: "That's good, the benefactor is a predestined person."

The doorway was very narrow, but Chi Wang just stood here and turned around. He got close, but he didn't seem to notice it, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Zi'an explained in a gentle manner: "The poor monk has not practiced enough, so he can't see the cause of karma. If one day he realizes the righteous way of Bodhi, he will see clearly all the past and the future."

He exited Chi Wang's room, "It's getting light soon, benefactor Chi should go to bed early, and the poor monk won't bother me much."

Chi Wang leaned against the door, looked at his figure, and said softly: "Then do you know where you are from?"

The monk stood quietly outside the door without answering the question.

He took a few steps back, his expression was not clear in the dark night, he clasped his palms together and performed a monk's salute to Chi Wang, then turned and left.

The author has something to say:

Chi Wang: If people have past and present lives, would you be...

Zi'an: The poor monk came back from a fraudulent corpse.

Chi Wang: ...
