An hour later, the "support" that Xing Pengyue mentioned arrived at Xingzhou Town Fusi.
There are three people in total,
Gongsun Changyi, deputy commander of the Zhenfu Division who guards Luoyang,
Xiong Tuohai, the master of Haotian Taoist Temple in Luoyang,
And Monk Jianquan, the abbot of Zen Buddhism in Tiantai Mountain.
Li Ang stood in the corner and observed the three people,
Gongsun Changyi has a fleshy face, big shoulders and a round waist, and both thumbs are covered with jade thumbs.
Xiong Tuohai has an immortal spirit, tall and straight figure, and wears two long swords on his waist.
As for Jianquan Monk, whose name Li Ang had heard for a long time, he was thin and dark-skinned. He looked more like an old farmer than an eminent monk.
However, Li Ang did not despise the other party because of his appearance.
Monk Jianquan became famous all over the world thirty years ago. He was the monk Zhuxiao and the leader of the Zen sect of Yu State. The emperor repeatedly sent envoys to Mount Wutai to invite him to lecture on Zen in the Daming Palace. He politely declined.
‘I feel that the aura is deeper than that of the abbot and abbot in Jialan Sect.’
Li Ang silently assessed Monk Jianquan's strength, 'However, is there breathing disorder from time to time? Isn't this appropriate for Monk Zhuxiao? Have you been injured recently?'
"Namo Amitabha..."
Jianquan monk chanted the Buddha's name, closed his eyes, and covered the white cloth on the body of the master again.
Xing Pengyue asked in a deep voice, "Master, do you have any explanation for the method of committing the crime?"
"..."
Monk Jianquan was silent for a moment and said slowly: "It is indeed the Sutra of Repentance from the Tantric Sect of Tiantai Mountain, but it was not written by the monks of Tiantai Mountain."
Gongsun Changyi, deputy commander of the Zhenfu Division, asked: "Is it him?"
"Yes."
Jianquan monk nodded.
The conversation between the two confused others. Xiong Tuohai, the temple owner of Haotian Taoist Temple in Luoyang, explained: "Master Jianquan was assassinated while traveling in Bianzhou two days ago. The person who attacked him was a demon with half of his head replaced by gold.
Monk."
Half a head?
Li Ang paused in his heart, and instantly thought of Monk Shi Xing of the Jing Nian Sect who escaped deep underground in Chang'an Ghost City three years ago.
"He called himself Harvard and claimed that he had an opportunity for me."
Monk Jianquan said calmly: "I saw that his face was familiar, so I asked him if he was the Buddhist monk who died seventy years ago. He took a Zen cue and did not answer. Instead, he asked me if I was willing to help him succeed.
Buddha."
Monk Jianquan smiled gently and said, "You don't want me to send him back to the West. He said that he has in his hand an ancient tantric teaching that came from Tianzhu a thousand years ago, called the Sutra of Six Paths of Liberation.
You only need to follow specific rules to distinguish the six people who represent the hungry ghost, animal, Shura, heaven, hell, and human realms in the six reincarnations.
You can reach the realm of Nirvana. Understand your mind and see your nature, completely cut off all worries, achieve immortality, and transcend life and death."
Nirvana in Zen Buddhism does not just mean death.
Only when all virtues are perfected, all evils are extinguished, and all evils are extinguished before death, and the realm of wonderful enlightenment and true mind is reached, can one be worthy of using the words Nirvana and Nirvana after death. From then on, one can completely liberate oneself and reach a higher level.
"The paper of the Six Paths of Liberation Sutra in his hand is brand new. It is clearly a newly made paper. However, the handwriting on it is crooked and full of omissions. It is obvious that he wrote it himself madly."
Monk Jianquan said: "Of course I cannot listen to his lies and arrogance. Since he is a senior in Zen Buddhism, I asked him to sit down quietly and debate scriptures with me, hoping to bring him back to peace.
But he attacked me and fled far away after being injured by me."
The old monk slightly opened his right cuff, revealing a long scar stretching down his arm.
Strangely, a layer of amber scab has formed on the surface of the scar.
‘It’s amazing. Is this color of scab also a special effect of Zen practice?’
Li Ang suppressed his curiosity and continued to listen, thinking about whether to tell the information about Shi Xingseng.
"I went to Commander Gongsun to explain the matter, and then stayed in Luoyang to recuperate.
I just didn’t expect that what he called a degree of transformation turned out to be killing, and that it would happen so quickly, and the location was not in Bianzhou."
Jianquan Monk put down his sleeves and said: "Shi Xing Monk, or the existence that used to be Shi Xing Monk, still retains the strength he had during his lifetime and is extremely dangerous.
And according to what he said, he wanted to kill at least two people."
"The good fortune of using a throat duster in order to pursue oral desires represents the realm of hungry ghosts,
Huang Yusan, who has a bad character and takes pleasure in torturing animals, represents the way of animals.
The woman who murdered innocent children and killed her husband represents the path of Shura.
The master of Haotian Taoist Temple represents the way of heaven."
Xing Pengyue murmured, "In other words, the next victim selected by Shi Xingseng represents the hell realm and the human realm in his eyes."
"The hell realm is likely to be a treacherous criminal. Are there any such candidates in the city's prisons?"
Monk Jianquan asked: "As for the way of the world, who is the most noble person in the city now?"
Li Leling!
Sui Yi's heart beat slowly and he subconsciously pushed the door open.
But they saw Li Leling, Ji Linglang and others still chatting in the room across the courtyard with the window open.
"Commander Xiong, Captain Xing, I need to send the students out of Xingzhou immediately."
Sui Yi immediately turned to Xiong Tuohai and said, "Please allocate a team of guards to me."
"You don't need to be so nervous now. It's time to take the Reiki scooter and walk."
Monk Jianquan said: "In the fabricated Six Paths of Liberation Sutra, Monk Shixing marked the time of each degree in detail. There is still about an hour before the next degree."
"Then I will evacuate the people in the city and have the prisoner with the worst crimes isolated from the prison. Use him as bait."
Xing Pengyue breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk out of the morgue to issue orders, but Xiong Tuohai raised his hand to stop him.
"Cannot evacuate,"
Xiong Tuohai had no expression on his face, stroking the jade ring on his thumb and said: "We are in the city, setting up defenses around the prisoners."
"This..."
Xing Pengyue's expression froze. Monk Jianquan had just said that Monk Shi Xing still retained his strength during his lifetime. How many casualties would a Zhuxiao monk wreak havoc on the city cause?
"It must be so."
Xiong Tuohai sighed quietly, "First of all, if an evacuation is ordered, Monk Jianquan will notice the abnormality and flee far away. At that time, killings will be carried out in other state capitals. The deaths of the first few victims will be meaningless.
Secondly, if an evacuation is ordered and all the people go outside the city, you cannot guarantee that the real candidates for the hell realm will be prisoners in the prison. Evacuation will not be of much use, but will distract our defense forces."
The nobles can leave, but the people in the city cannot?
Xing Pengyue, who was born and raised in Xingzhou, had a stiff expression, but could not refute the superior - because this was indeed the most rational approach after weighing the pros and cons, and the one that was most in line with the Zhenfu Division's consistent style.
"I'll stay too."
Li Ang suddenly said: "Since the monk Shi Xingxing will regard the most noble person as a candidate for the world, then I, who has the highest title in the city, should also be used as the second bait."
