Chapter 1,135 Jiuyou Ghost Envoy, come out to see me!
Starting from Detective Li Yuanfang, Chapter 1135: Nine Nether Ghosts, come out to see me!
"The Celestial Master's Orb is a Buddhist relic, can it still intensify the calamity?"
After listening to Tao Yin's description, Li Yan stretched out his hand to summon the Ruyi Pearl: "Replay the section about Dongyue Temple to me."
He was basically in a state of cultivation in the treasure ship, so it was naturally impossible for him to check Tao Yin's movements at any time. The monitoring task was handed over to Ruyi Baozhu, and he also specifically asked to prepare a record and be ready to play it back at any time.
At this time, the Ruyi Orb bloomed with spiritual light, bringing up the scene of Dongyue Temple just now.
Li Yan watched intently.
Tao Yin also watched it again from the perspective of a bystander, and said with a clear heart: "Tao Shien is obviously coming for me. If the disaster really breaks out and rushes to the street to hurt innocent people, it will be very detrimental to the young master!"
Li Yandao: "If you really want to do that, Ruyi Baozhu will tell you that I will save you, but I am really not sure whether I can avoid the disaster."
Tao Yin said bitterly: "The old thief is crazy. He asked Tao Shien to kill me directly in front of Lan Daoxing. He is so unscrupulous!"
Li Yan adjusted his angle, looked at Tao Shien's excited and distorted expression, and said in a deep voice: "This is to shake the mountain to shock the tiger. By killing you, it will shock the sects in the main line that are dissatisfied with Tao Zhongwen. Of course, it will also shock us. Such a treasure is indeed a huge threat...
…”
As he gained more experience, his control over his emotions became stronger and stronger. When faced with joys and sorrows, he could often deal with them with a pure and transcendent state of mind. However, even so, there was no guarantee that he could survive the Nine Tribulations.
As for the dragon girl's fear of disaster, it has left serious sequelae. No cure has been found so far, so it can only be a facade. If it is plotted by such a magic weapon, it will naturally be more dangerous.
Therefore, for Tao Zhongwen's side, it is good to capture Tao Yin. Even if they cannot capture Tao Yin, the purpose of deterrence has been achieved.
If he were an ordinary cultivator, there would be no need to take the huge risk of disaster and continue to confront him head-on. But in Li Yan's mind, he did not shrink back from the difficulties at all. Instead of being solemn, he became excited.
He carefully observed Tao Shien again, and after comparing it with the little Celestial Master when he went to sea, he turned to the Ruyi Pearl: "Is there such a treasure in Buddhism that can control disasters?"
Ruyi Baozhu pursed his lips, showing a look of contemplation, and said after a while: "Buddhist treasures are mostly for cultivating the clear mind and imparting wisdom by seeing one's nature. I have never heard of a Buddhist treasure that can control catastrophes..."
Based on the characteristics of the Nine Tribulations, Li Yan asked: "What are the Buddhist treasures that control the mind?"
Ruyi Baozhu hesitated and said: "Mani Pearl?"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "This is indeed possible..."
There is a saying about Mani Pearl, which is another name for wish-fulfilling pearl, and also has the meaning of "stain-free light", "stain-free" and "growth".
[To tell you the truth, I have been using the Changing Source app recently to read and catch up on updates. Changing sources allows me to read aloud with more sounds.
In the original work, when Wukong was making a fuss in the sky, the description of the Mani Pearl also appeared, "Yandu Tuo, the light is scorching, how can people learn from the eternal existence? It cannot be burnt by fire, how can it be drowned by water? A bright Mani Pearl, a sword,
Halberds, knives, and spears cannot hurt. He can be good or evil. He can do good or evil in front of him. When he is good, he becomes a Buddha or an immortal. When he is bad, he is covered with fur and horns. Infinite changes make the heavenly palace, and thunder generals and divine soldiers cannot catch him..."
There are many analysts in later generations, especially those who like conspiracy theory analysis. According to this paragraph, they say that Wukong is a chess piece arranged by Buddhism early. In his previous life, he was the Mani Pearl and the great disciple of Tathagata. This shows how far-reaching the journey to the west is.
It's all a play. The sequel to the TV series Journey to the West defines Wukong as a boneless relic, which may have been influenced by this.
But if you understand the ancient classics, you will actually find that this description is not Buddhist. Lu Dongbin once said: "Yuan Tuo Tuo is brilliant, a little bit of innate spiritual light hits the mother's mother." Ma Yu, the Seventh Son of Quanzhen, said, "
Lao Tzu’s golden elixir and Shishi’s pearl, the perfect enlightenment has no missing or leftover. This orifice of the sect of the deceased’s family can still receive Taixu.”
This passage describing Wukong is adapted from the inner alchemy books. Everything mentioned is the original intention of human beings. The "Mani Pearl" and the "Heart Monkey" are actually the same as a cent.
Unabashed sincerity.
Just as it is said in "Xing Ming Gui Zhi", "The soul is not ignorant and has a clear understanding of the common sense. The great sages of the three religions teach people to practice Taoism. This is how they practice. They become immortals and Buddhas. This is how they wear horns and hair."
"
The theme of "Xing Ming Gui Zhi" is to break the sectarian views of the three religions and to establish the essence of the three religions of Zongluo and Luo throughout the ages. The main theme of Journey to the West also advocates the merging of the three religions. The key is the human heart, which coincides with it.
Based on this analysis, it should be closer to the author's original intention. It would be too arbitrary to think that Wukong is a chess piece arranged by Tathagata after seeing the "Mani Pearl"...
However, compared with the three disasters originating from heaven and earth, the nine calamities currently understood mostly originate from the mind. If the Buddha's Mani Pearl becomes contaminated and controls the mind, there is a certain possibility.
Li Yan kept narrowing the scope: "Buddhism has disappeared from the world now, and temples everywhere are filled with ordinary monks. It is difficult to find a treasure like the Mani Bead. Tao Zhongwen is a Taoist heavenly master. If he wants to get the Buddhist Mani Bead, he must
What are the ways?”
Ruyi Baozhu meditated hard, and finally said pitifully: "Master, my spiritual wisdom was born after the change of heaven and earth. There are some things that I really don't know..."
Li Yan didn't mean to blame him, and asked again: "If you are allowed to get close, how far away do you need to be to determine where he is and then exert influence?"
The Ruyi Pearl answered quickly this time: "If it is really a Mani Pearl, within a hundred feet, one can definitely distinguish the authenticity from the false. As for exerting influence, it may delay its Buddha's light. If Master has more Tripitaka, I can become stronger."
!”
During this period, the Ruyi Orb and the Tripitaka Sutra interacted with each other, and the strength did recover. However, the Tripitaka Sutra currently only has one page of the "Nirvana Sutra", which is indeed missing.
Li Yan nodded slightly: "Whether it is a Mani Pearl or not, it is also a Buddhist treasure. It is time for you to play a role. It seems that the priority of collecting the "Tripitaka Sutra" scattered in various places has to be raised... This
Leave the matter to the Jinyi Guard Office, and I'll go visit Governor Lu."
Tao Yin's expression changed: "Master, are you going to Beijing?"
Li Yan said: "Don't worry, I will avoid it in advance. If we don't meet you, the Heavenly Master's Orb will not pose a threat."
Halfway through his words, he looked outside and saw three waves of Yin Qi flying up. The leader was Xiao Qian, followed by guard Zhu Shisan and eunuch Chen Hong.
After entering the cabin, Xiaoqian displayed the "Hundred Ghosts at Night" map, and an unconscious girl slowly fell from it. She was Princess Ning'an.
Compared with Tao Yin's encounter with Tao Shi'en's sniper attack, the trip to the Forbidden City seemed to go smoothly. Xiao Qian said: "This princess only has one maid by her side. She has a dull and timid temperament. She will not tell anyone if she finds any abnormality. She transforms into a clone talisman."
It can last a long time."
Li Yan said: "Then are you ready to contact her?"
Xiaoqian suddenly became nervous: "Can you wait a little longer? I... what if I scare her?"
Li Yandao: "According to what Chen Hong said, your voice has not changed. This little princess should be able to hear it. Don't face each other, communicate through dialogue first, and explain your situation to her, so that she can be mentally prepared.
Scared."
Xiaoqian took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay!"
Knowing that others were nearby, Xiaoqian would be even more nervous. Li Yan was not prepared to accompany him, so he asked Ruyi Baozhu to make a video backup, and in a flash, he got out of the treasure ship.
The last time I brought the Dragon Girl down from the sky, went straight into the Forbidden City, landed in front of the Huangji Hall, and left in front of the Huangji Hall, I didn't even visit the capital.
This time walking through the streets of the capital, Li Yan entered ancient Beijing for the first time.
He has long been accustomed to the prosperous cities of ancient times. What he experienced more during this trip was the spiritual outlook of the capital.
as I thought.
The situation is very bad.
Not to mention compared with Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, but even compared with Bianjing in the Song Dynasty, the spirit of the people was far inferior. They were all tired and numb, and could not see any pride and happiness of living in the capital.
There is indeed no pride or happiness at all. After all, just a few years ago, Anda Khan came to the city, robbed the surrounding prefectures and counties of Beijing, and then stopped in Tongzhou to peek at the capital.
That period must have been a time of great panic and suffering for everyone in Beijing.
But in fact, after nearly two hundred years of hostility and repression in the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian tribes have always been in a harsh living environment with scarce materials. The so-called steppe eagle is really inferior to their ancestors.
They do not have the strength to capture the city of Beijing.
Unfortunately, we still reached the city walls and were forced to open up the mutual market.
History books regard the opening of the market between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia as a sign of ethnic friendship, and the exchange of needs represents progress. This is from the perspective of ethnic integration for future generations, but as far as the current situation is concerned, not opening the market is undoubtedly a sign of progress.
Effective decisions to contain foreign enemies.
It's a pity that the Ming army was too stretched, and the Great Wall defense line could not be defended. It was forced to open up, and the entire capital was obviously shrouded in gloom and mist. If you want to cheer up, you have to win a big victory.
Therefore, seeing the capital like this, Li Yan immediately thought of Qi Jiguang, who was still guarding Jimen and had not yet made his mark. He sighed softly and walked forward slowly but urgently.
He deliberately restrained his presence, and his outstanding appearance did not cause any sensation. The people passing by subconsciously did not see this person passing by, and soon arrived in front of the Governor's Mansion on West Chang'an Street.
"interesting!"
Li Yan did not rush in, but instead looked at the two mansions not far away.
Whether it was a deliberate arrangement or a coincidence, Lu Bing's governor's mansion was located between the mansions of Jiajing's two sons, Prince Jing and Prince Yu.
Not right next to each other, but close enough.
Li Yan straightened his body, climbed up and looked around, and found that it was also a majestic palace. Prince Jing's Palace had red walls and green tiles, painted buildings and withered beams, and palaces and balconies, all at different heights. Prince Yu's Palace was much more low-key and ordinary, although many of its specifications were still not comparable to those of his subjects.
But in terms of wealth and aura, it is obviously weaker than that.
"No wonder Yan Song supports King Jing, and Xu Jie supports King Yu. King Jing has better control, and his arrogant and extravagant life style makes it easier for the Yan family to continue to have power..."
Li Yan took a few glances and basically determined the inevitability of the choice between the two parties. He turned his attention back to Lu Bing's mansion: "The most important brothers are not close to or far from the palace, implying that they treat the two princes like a bowl of water."
Is it even?"
"The 'two dragons never meet' really frightened Jiajing so much. He was afraid that his last two sons would be gone and he would end up like Zhengde, who would have to use other heirs to inherit the great treasure."
"However, in the eyes of the courtiers, this is a tacit admission that they can participate in the seizure of the heir..."
In the next ten years, the struggle between King Jing and King Yu was also a good drama in the Jiajing court.
After all, there is basically no emperor like him who wants to confirm the position of prince as soon as the queen is pregnant. The battle for the prince has been staged more than once in the Ming Dynasty, and many ministers are still looking forward to participating in the fight for the throne!
With these things running in his mind, Li Yan quietly came to the study room. Seeing that Lu Bing had not returned home yet, he wrote a letter, put it on the table, and took out the tokens given to each other during the Southeast period to hold it down.
Due to his special status, the normal entry process was inconvenient, so that Jiajing would not get angry if he knew that he went to see Lu Bing but did not enter the palace to see him.
So I was prepared with both hands. Lu Bing was here, so he could talk about the matter. If he wasn't there, he could explain it clearly in the letter.
However, Li Yan was just about to leave to observe more inside the capital, and even went to Tao Zhongwen's mansion. The sound of horse hooves was heard, and Lu Bing returned with Zhu Zhong and his party.
Li Yan was not prepared to say hello until his eyes fell on Lu Bing. He suddenly stared at him for a moment and called out: "Jiuyou Ghost, come out and see me!"
