Chapter 8 Bald donkey, watch me peel off your skin!
This time the Dharma Assembly was held next to the lotus pond in the center of the palace. Although there were no lotus flowers in this season, there was another sense of blue spring water and koi carp playing.
In the square next to the lotus pond, the third lady had already arranged for tables, chairs and tea to be set up. A circular platform was built in the center of the square, with a low table and soft mats placed on the platform. With the platform as the center of the circle, similar low tables and chairs were placed around it.
A few tables and mats.
Viewed from a distance, the entire square looks like a blooming lotus. The round platform is the heart of the lotus, and the surrounding seats are like petals. From any petal, you can see the master giving a lecture. It can be seen that the third lady still spent a lot of time.
Thoughts.
After Master Huichen saluted everyone, he sat down cross-legged with the support of the little novice monk and began to lecture. After everyone returned the salute, they also sat on the soft seats. Everyone's attention was on Master Huichen, and no one except Xiao Wenjun paid attention.
To the little actions of the third lady.
At the end of the performance, the old lady sitting in the first place stood up first, saluted the master respectfully and said, "I have heard for a long time that Master Huichen is famous all over the world. I am lucky enough to hear it today, and I am suddenly enlightened."
"Amitabha is just a false name."
"Master is so humble. You all need to learn more from Master." After saying this, the old lady glanced at the family members behind her.
"The old benefactor is very angry when talking. Is there any unforeseen disaster recently?"
"Master is indeed very good at predicting events. Yesterday, I did have an accident and almost died!" The old lady believed Master Huichen's words even more deeply at this moment. Because she had issued a hush-hush order yesterday, and the accident was not to be spread.
"Monks don't tell lies, but today I feel a little unclean when I enter the mansion!" Master Huichen did not continue, but everyone present was not stupid and could understand what he said.
"Master, why did you say this?" The old lady was horrified. Although what happened yesterday was an accident, could it be that something unclean was at work in the house, as the master said?
"Don't do any evil, and do all the good!" Master Huichen said with a solemn expression: "The evil spirit has begun to appear in the house. If it is not eradicated as soon as possible, it will definitely lead to catastrophe!"
"Does Master have a way to crack it? If it can be cracked, Prince Xiao's Mansion will be very grateful!" The old lady believed in Master Huichen's words.
"Amitabha, the donor is serious. I have a close relationship with the third lady of your house. This is just a small effort. No need to say thank you!"
"This matter is urgent, please master, please solve it quickly!" After saying that, the old lady nodded slightly to the third lady, expressing her approval.
"No problem! Please ask the old lady to appoint someone to guide me and visit every place in the palace."
So, the group of people first went to Old Taijun's Green Bamboo Courtyard. Master Huichen only said that the blessings here are profound and evil spirits are not here. Similarly, they went to the other courtyards one after another and found no problems.
Until we reach the last courtyard - Xiao Wenjun's Qinglan Courtyard.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Master Huichen's expression changed drastically, which startled everyone.
The third lady said: "This is the courtyard of Princess Lanling. This child is usually the most filial!"
After hearing this, Master Huichen shook his head vigorously without saying a word.
Xiao Wenjun suddenly patted Master Huichen on the shoulder from the side and said, "Master, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly!"
"Wenjun, please retreat quickly, don't be rude to the master!" the old lady scolded loudly.
"Offended!" Xiao Wenjun just did it on purpose. If she remembers correctly, when Huichen was famous in Kyoto in his previous life, he was pulled down from the altar. It was proven that he was just a person seeking fame and reputation, especially greedy for money.
, even the eye disease is fake!
Before Xiao Wenjun's palm touched Master Huichen's body, his eyeballs moved with his palm. Sure enough, he had no eye disease! It would be difficult for ordinary people to detect it without careful observation.
Master Huichen started playing like a disaster star!
Pointing to this courtyard, he said: "The evil spirit is strong here, and evil spirits are here!"
The third lady saw that the old lady's face was not very good, so she said loudly: "Master, you are not wrong in your calculation, are you?"
"Monks don't lie!" Master Huichen said firmly.
At this time, Xiao Wenjun also raised his voice: "Master, I, the head of Lanling County, have done a good job. Why do you taint my innocence?"
"That's absolutely true! If you don't believe me, let's go in and have a look!" The third lady was overjoyed, but she didn't dare to look at the old lady.
"Just watch! If you tell half a lie, I won't take off your skin!" Xiao Wenjun made a move to pull Master Huichen in.
The old lady quickly stretched out her cane and stood in front of Xiao Wenjun, "Since the princess has said that she is innocent, let's go in and take a look together."
The old lady considered that if no one was allowed in to see, it would leave more thoughts to others. So she simply opened the door generously. Xiao Wenjun said no, that means no!
The third lady was ecstatic in her heart. She was afraid that the old lady would stop her and deliberately angered Xiao Wenjun. After achieving her goal, she shut up.
As soon as Master Huichen entered the courtyard, he started counting with his fingers. The more he counted, the deeper his frown became. Everyone's attention at this time was all on Master Huichen's face. Seeing his serious face, they all felt something was going on.
The seriousness made the atmosphere more and more tense.
Finally, Master Huichen stopped calculating, exhaled a long breath, and said: "Amitabha, I have calculated several times, and the evil things are in the four corners of this courtyard!"
When the old lady heard this, her face became extremely ugly. She did not believe that Xiao Wenjun would do such a thing.
Not long after, Aunt Zhao led a few boys over with wooden boxes in their hands. The boxes were still stained with fresh soil. When the third lady saw these wooden boxes, she felt that the situation was over.
"Old lady, the slaves dug these four wooden boxes according to Master Huichen's instructions." Grandma Zhao said.
The old lady closed her eyes and looked around at the people standing in the courtyard. She knew very well that on the surface, these outsiders would not say sarcastic words and even showed concern. Secretly, they wished that your Xiao family would be destroyed.
, so that I can step on you and rise to the top.
The old lady said nothing, no one dared to talk, and the courtyard fell into an eerie silence.
Finally, Mother Li couldn't hold it any longer and broke the silence, pretending to be surprised: "This box looks familiar, ah! Isn't this the princess's wooden box?"
"Amitabha, the mansions of nobles throughout the ages are all treasures of Feng Shui. The things in this box are really powerful. They actually broke the Feng Shui of your mansion!"
"Wenjun, does this box really belong to you?" the old lady asked accusingly.
Xiao Wenjun stepped forward and replied: "It's mine! These boxes have been missing for a while, but they are here!"
"What's in the box?"
"I don't remember, it must be some worthless jewelry."
Mother Li quietly winked at the maids who had buried things with Xiao Tao last night, indicating that it was their turn to speak.
The three little maids fell to their knees with a thud: "Old lady, have mercy on me, old lady, have mercy on me!"
"The slaves saw with their own eyes that the princess and Sister Chunxia secretly buried these boxes in the yard. The slaves had no idea that this wooden box was so scary, let alone that it would harm the old lady!"
"Xiao Wenjun, you are so cruel! Grandma dotes on you so much, and she gave you such a valuable walking stick this morning. Is this how you repay grandma?" Xiao Shuyue had been coveting that walking stick for a long time. When she saw Xiao Wenjun wearing this walking stick,
It was dangling in front of my eyes, and I couldn't help but feel angry.
"You keep saying that there is evil in the box, why don't you open it and take a look? I am also very curious, what is inside?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Li became impatient, stepped towards the wooden boxes, and opened all the wooden boxes in one breath.
Master Huichen, who had been chanting sutras with his eyes closed, knew that the heat was coming and said, "Amitabha! Amitabha! The evil spirit in this courtyard is getting worse!"
"Don't be afraid, I have my own way to break this evil spirit! When I recite the sutra for seventy-seven forty-nine days here, all disasters can be eliminated!"
After finishing speaking, he continued to sing and chant endlessly.
The audience could only hear the chanting of Master Huichen. Xiao Wenjun smiled slightly and thought to himself: Bald donkey, let me skin you!
