In the Battle of Bailang Mountain, one hundred thousand Long family troops were wiped out. Long Ye and his four sons were killed in the battle. Long Chen escaped by falling into a mountain stream.
Yeluhong snatched Long Ye's head, made it into a wine vessel, and sent it to the Holy Mountain to worship the Wolf God.
Kong Ji took the bodies of his four sons, cut off their heads, and made gold-painted skulls, which he placed in the Demon-Conquering Hall as a temple treasure.
Kongji walked into the Demon-Conquering Hall, stood in front of the Demon-Conquering Buddha, put his hands together and bowed.
Wang He walked up to the Demon-Conquering Buddha with the support of two servants. He looked up at the ferocious Buddha statue, slowly and with difficulty knelt down, bowed to the Demon-Conquering Buddha, and prayed that his legs and feet would get better.
The two servants behind him looked at the ferocious appearance of the Demon-Conquering Buddha and immediately bowed their heads in worship, not daring to look directly at him.
Monk Kongji glanced at Wang He who was worshiping devoutly, and his eyes fell on the skull of Longye Sizi, and a strange thought arose in his heart.
Back then, when Tianxiahui was making plans, Li Chengdao sent Long Ye to invade Xixia and deliberately leaked the information. Xixia and the barbarians set a trap, and a hundred thousand Long family troops were destroyed.
In that battle, the mountains and rivers turned pale, the sun and the moon were dim, and many people died in Zhaoti Temple.
Thinking about Long Ye's ferocity at that time, Kong Ji still has lingering fear in his heart.
Because of Long Ye's tyranny, the monks in the temple were afraid of the Long family and described Long Ye as a demon. They brought the bodies of their four sons back, made them into skulls, and placed them in the Demon-Conquering Hall to suppress them and prevent the Long family from reincarnating.
"Long Chengen...Long Chen..."
Monk Kongji always felt that Long Chengen was Long Chen, but he couldn't find any evidence.
Back then, we should have thoroughly searched the mountain, found Long Chen's body, and completely eliminated the hidden danger.
After Wang He finished the ceremony, he slowly got up, and two servants immediately stepped forward to help him.
"Thank you, abbot, for your kindness."
Wang He was very happy.
Kongji smiled and said: "Why does Wang Dashan need to see others outside?"
The two slowly walked out of the Demon-Conquering Hall and returned to the Refuge Hall.
The curling smoke filled the hall and gathered into white mist on the roof. The noisy voices of people and the monks chanting sutras were mixed together. The smell of incense and candles was too strong and a bit pungent.
"If I can still leave next year, I will definitely come back to worship."
"If my legs and feet are not up to par, I will ask the dog to come over."
Wang He was very devout to Zhaoti Temple and would come to worship regardless of his health condition.
"By taking refuge in the Buddha's blessing, the good man Wang Dashan's legs and feet will surely recover."
Kongji smiled and comforted, and Wang He sighed: "I hope the Demon-Conquering Buddha can bless me. I'll take my leave now."
Kong Ji sent Wang He to the door, watched him get on the carriage, and then turned around to return to the abbot's room.
Wang He is the big benefactor of Zhaoti Temple, so Kongji naturally has to be polite to him.
Just after turning around and walking a few steps, Kong Ji heard a sweet voice: "Abbott, stay here..."
Hearing this voice, Monk Kongji had goosebumps all over his body. He wanted to run away, but there were too many people here and he felt uncomfortable.
Kong Ji walked forward, turned around and didn't want to, so he just froze in place.
A burst of powerful footsteps came, and a nine-foot-tall, broad-waisted woman with an ingot bun, thick eyebrows, big eyes, thick lips and beard, and blusher rushed up to Kong Ji, holding a fat boy in her arms.
This person is Mrs. Li!
Last year, Mrs. Li asked Kong Ji for a large sum of money to have a son. Kong Ji risked his life to have a son with Mrs. Li just for the money.
Mrs. Li was strong and strong, so she tormented the empty space until she was filled with things.
After returning home, Mrs. Li became pregnant naturally and gave birth to a very healthy son.
Mrs. Li knew very well what was going on with the request for a child in Zhaoti Temple. She liked Monk Kongji, and this was of her own free will.
So after giving birth to my son, when the child grew older and the weather got warmer, I hurriedly carried the child over to show Kong Ji.
Because she had given birth to a child, Mrs. Li was very plump at this time, and her breasts were even bigger than the child's.
With such a figure, the child will definitely eat well and be fat.
After stopping Monk Kongji, Mrs. Li asked the maid who was following him to step back.
"Master, look, the son that my family asked you for last year is growing up really well."
Mrs. Li looked at her son in her arms fondly, and then looked at Kong Ji with eagerness, wanting him to see her son.
Monk Kongji now wanted to die.
Mr. Liu, who I like, won't come, and Mrs. Li, who is disgusting, can't be shaken off like a fly.
"Congratulations to Mrs. Li. This is a blessing from the Buddha. Mrs. Li can take her child to the main hall to fulfill her wish."
Monk Kongji wanted to send Mrs. Li away.
Mrs. Li, however, refused to give in. She said with aggrieved expression and coquettishness: "Master, why would you reject me thousands of miles away? You still don't know whether this child has taken refuge in the Buddha for protection?"
Monk Kongji's face changed suddenly when he heard this. He looked anxiously at the pilgrims around him and hurriedly pulled Mrs. Li into the abbot's room.
Mrs. Li did not expect that Kong Ji would let her enter the abbot's room. She felt that this was a private space for the two of them.
"Master, take a look, take a closer look, how strong he is, just like you, master."
Mrs. Li touched the child's face and said very happily.
Kongji closed the door of the abbot's room and said to Mrs. Li: "Mrs. Li, the poor monk made it very clear at that time that you and I were just complying with the Buddha's wishes and had no relationship between men and women. Your remaining children will have nothing to do with the poor monk.
.”
"Why did you bring your child to see the poor monk today? You are treacherous and the Buddha will punish you!"
Mrs. Li's originally maternal face became aggrieved, and tears fell down her cheeks, hitting the child's face.
Mrs. Li quickly took out a silk scarf from her sleeve and wiped the tears on the child's face.
"Why is Master so unkind to me? I have not forgotten what I said at that time, and I am not betraying my promise."
"I just think this is our child, bring it over and show it to the master."
Monk Kongji was actually a little anxious, and he even wanted to kill someone to silence him.
But seeing Mrs. Li like this, he softened his heart again.
No matter how Mrs. Li looks, the child in her arms is indeed an empty species.
"The poor monk has already seen it. You can leave and don't come back again."
Mrs. Li wiped her tears and said, "This child doesn't have a name yet. Master, please give him a name. I won't come here again."
Monk Kongji looked at the child in Mrs. Li's arms, sighed slightly and said, "Let's call him Buddha."
Mrs. Li nodded, looked at the child in her arms, and said softly: "Buddha, the master has given you a name."
Mrs. Li glanced at Kong Ji and said with a wry smile: "I know that the master dislikes my ugly appearance, so I will never come here again."
"Master, please take another look at the child. He will never come again."
Kong Ji slowly walked over and looked at the child in Mrs. Li's arms with mixed feelings in her heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Kongji took off the prayer beads in his hand, put them on the child's wrist, and recited: "My Buddha is compassionate!"
Mrs. Li did not expect that Kongji would give the beads as a gift, and she was very happy.
Taking a step back, bowing slightly and thanking Kong Jie, Mrs. Li opened the door and left without looking back.
Kong Ji looked at Mrs. Li's retreating back, suddenly feeling a little sad in her heart.
After so many years, so many people have asked for children, and Mrs. Li is the ugliest.
But today Mrs. Li made him feel guilty.
"Injustice..."
Kongji let out a long sigh, folded his hands and recited Buddhist scriptures silently.
"National Master!"
When Kong Ji heard the sound, she immediately opened her eyes and saw Ma Fang running in.
"Eunuch Ma? Your Majesty has something to do with this poor monk?"
Seeing Ma Fang in such a panic, Kong Ji guessed that something big had happened.
Ma Fang looked at Kong Ji and swallowed the words in her mouth.
"The king has something urgent to discuss. He summoned all the civil and military officials to the court to discuss it. Please ask the imperial advisor to come over immediately."
Kong Ji asked: "Why are you so anxious?"
Ma Fang didn't say anything, just said: "National Master, come with me!"
Kong Ji followed Ma Fang in a hurry to the palace.
