Hu Xiaotian walked over with great interest, patted the fence that separated them and said: "Brother Mingsheng, there is no one anyway. Who are you reciting sutras for? Why don't we chat."
Mingsheng really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was not thanks to him that he ended up in this situation. He still said to the wall: "Amitabha! Buddha, please forgive me."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You didn't do anything wrong, why do you want to pray to the Buddha for forgiveness?"
Mingsheng ignored him and kept praying as usual.
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "You Tianlong Temple is really unreasonable. You have to be imprisoned for three months for a trivial matter. I thought I had no chance to meet you, but I didn't expect them to imprison you."
Come over and be a witness, thank you! I'm glad you didn't betray your friend." Seeing that Mingsheng still ignored him, Hu Xiaotian shook his head, lay down on the haystack, put his hands behind his head, paused for a while and said: "Brother Mingsheng, that day you
What did you see?" He wanted to confirm whether Mingsheng had seen Fuwu's true appearance.
Mingsheng actually reacted this time: "Don't say it, don't say it!"
Hu Xiaotian laughed loudly: "Did you know that after you were locked up, the emperor told the abbot that I would stay in the Riyun Valley for more than ten days, burning incense and chanting sutras in front of the Immortal Buddha for him?"
Mingsheng didn't know what happened after he was imprisoned. He was shocked and said: "The abbot allowed you to go to Split Cloud Valley?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why did you lie to me? It's really unfair for you to face the wall for three months. Your Tianlong Temple keeps saying that all living beings are equal before the Buddha, but that's far from the truth. Basically, only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps.
"
Mingsheng said: "Don't slander our temple."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not slandering you, I'm just discussing the matter. By the way, after you escaped that day, I met an old monk."
Mingsheng was obviously interested in Hu Xiaotian. He stopped chanting and looked in Hu Xiaotian's direction: "Donor Hu, do you know that there is a saying that disaster comes from the mouth?"
Hu Xiaotian knew that he was reminding himself. In fact, Hu Xiaotian had been paying attention to the movements around him. He had already heard the subtle breathing outside. It was obvious that someone was eavesdropping outside. These monks from the Discipline Academy were really treacherous. He also treated Mingsheng monk Hu Xiaotian
We can't completely trust him. After all, the two sides have different positions. How do we know that Monk Mingsheng was not sent by the Discipline Academy people to spy on the news? The reason why Hu Xiaotian said this was because he was trying to get the news. Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Mingsheng, there are only two of us here, and you are here because of me.
Faced with this trouble, of course I can trust you."
Mingsheng said: "Who did you see that day?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It was an old monk. I thought he was a statue, hiding motionless in the cave, but later I found out he was a living person."
"What happens next?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Later he left, and the emperor asked me to go to the Rifting Cloud Valley. I didn't dare to go at first, but the holy order cannot be violated, so I had no choice but to go there. Fortunately, I haven't met that person again these days.
Old monk."
Mingsheng said: "They said you destroyed the Buddha of Immortality. Is it true or not?"
Hu Xiaotian heard Mingsheng's questions one after another and had already guessed that Mingsheng was most likely cooperating with the Discipline Academy in order to get the truth out of him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I won't hide it from you. I didn't destroy the Immortal Buddha at all. The emperor sent me and Qi Danei to burn incense and worship the Buddha in the Riyun Valley. On the last day when we were about to complete our mission,
Suddenly two assassins in black appeared. They wanted to kill us."
Mingsheng unknowingly approached the wooden fence and exclaimed in shock: "How is it possible? Tianlong Temple is a pure land of Buddhism. How could there be an assassin?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I thought so too. They should not be from Tianlong Temple. Qi Danei rushed out first. Just after fighting with the two of them, a long-haired evil ghost rushed out and killed all three of them.
Captured."
Mingsheng said: "What?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I was so scared that I hid in the stone house all the time. Fortunately, nothing happened that night. But the next day I found that the three of them didn't even have a hair left. They must have been eaten by evil spirits. This
I told the emperor about this, but the emperor didn't believe me. He was furious because of Qi Danei's disappearance and punished me to go to Riyun Valley to burn incense and chant sutras for another seven days. Today is only the fifth day. To be honest, senior brother Mingsheng, I have passed these five days.
I had to be on tenterhooks, fearing that the long-haired evil spirit would come and cause trouble for me. I was about to go through this hard life, but I didn't expect that I would be caught here by the Discipline Academy." He paused deliberately, sighed and said:
"Actually, let me choose. I'd rather stay here than that horrible place in the Rift Cloud Valley."
Mingsheng said: "Did you destroy the Immortal Buddha?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It has nothing to do with me. The Immortal Buddha was offered to you by your Majesty's old friend. Your Majesty cherishes the Immortal Buddha very much, so you sent me there to burn incense and chant sutras in memory of his old friend. This shows that your Majesty attaches great importance to this friendship."
It is extremely important. The Immortal Buddha was actually destroyed by the two assassins in black. Think about it, the emperor sent me to Riyun Valley to offer incense. If I destroyed the Immortal Buddha, it would be a serious crime of confiscating the house and exterminating the family, let alone
It's me, maybe the emperor will get angry and send troops to destroy Tianlong Temple."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not talking nonsense. I know the emperor's temper better than you. Precisely because I knew the consequences would be serious, I cleaned up those fragments and then moved all the pieces with great effort."
I went over to the Buddha statue, hoping that I could get away with it. The emperor wouldn't go to Split Cloud Valley anyway. As long as he leaves Tianlong Temple, he probably won't think of it in this life. If he is informed now, haha..." Hu Xiaotian
The next words were not finished, but the meaning was expressed quite fully. His ears never stopped paying attention to the outside for a moment. When there was no sound outside the wall, the eavesdropper must have left.
Hu Xiaotian's guess was correct. Two monks stood opposite each other in the Hall of Eliminating Evils of the Discipline Academy. The expressions on each other's faces were quite solemn. One of them was the proof that Hu Xiaotian was arrested, and the other was Tongji, the law enforcement elder of the Discipline Academy.
Ming Zheng sighed and said, "Master, did you hear what they just said?"
Tongji nodded and whispered: "This matter is no small matter."
Ming Zheng said: "Who is that long-haired evil spirit that Hu Xiaotian mentioned? Is he deliberately alarmist and intimidating Mingsheng? Why don't we give him a show of strength and let him tell the truth."
Tongji's face darkened: "This is absolutely impossible. He is an official of the imperial court. How can we attack him rashly?"
Ming Zheng said: "So what if the imperial court official? Damaging the Immortal Buddha is disrespectful to the Buddha."
Tongji shook his head and said, "You must not spread the news about the damage to the Immortal Buddha."
"What?" Mingzheng said in shock.
Tongji slowly walked a few steps, came to the statue of Buddha, clasped his hands, and silently prayed for forgiveness from the Buddha. He whispered: "Hu Xiaotian was right in what he said. If the emperor knew about this matter, he would definitely not let it go, so
It’s better to keep the news strictly sealed.”
Mingzheng said: "Master, I always feel that Hu Xiaotian has something up his sleeve. He is cunning and cunning, and he has not told the truth at all." He was quite disgusted with Hu Xiaotian.
Tongji said: "The things he said may not all be lies. When the emperor comes to Tianlong Temple, it is probably not as simple as chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha. The few people following him are all masters."
Mingzheng said: "Why would the king of a country embarrass Tianlong Temple and us monks?"
Tongji said: "Until we know his true motives, we must be careful and never take the initiative to stir up trouble, lest we get burned."
Ming Zheng said: "Can't we just let Hu Xiaotian go?"
Tongji said: "It doesn't matter if we let him go. He is just a guard commander beside the emperor and not an important figure."
"What if he goes out and talks nonsense?"
Tongji smiled calmly and said, "Does he dare to say it?"
Ming Zheng secretly thought that if the matter about the Immortal Buddha was exposed, the first person the emperor would hold accountable would definitely be Hu Xiaotian. This kid would not dare to let this matter out anyway, otherwise he would not have made a fake Buddha statue.
Impersonate.
Tongji said: "The stele of the past life is broken, the well of the past life collapsed and sank, Master Kongjian and Master Yuankong have gone to unknown places. I always feel that there may be trouble in Tianlong Temple."
Ming Zheng said: "No matter who wants to cause trouble to Tianlong Temple, this disciple will not agree to it first. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will fight him to the end."
Tongji sighed and said: "Your temperament is still so violent, and you are always beating and killing. That's what a Buddhist disciple said. Tomorrow morning you will release Hu Xiaotian and warn him not to talk nonsense, otherwise he will
Tell the emperor about the Immortal Buddha."
Although Mingzheng was unwilling to do so, he couldn't say anything since the master had spoken. He nodded and said, "Master, what is in the well of rebirth? Why does it collapse even if everything goes well?"
Tongji's eyes showed confusion: "I don't know very well. In short, no one is allowed to go near there without the abbot's permission. By the way, Hu Xiaotian will not be allowed to go to the Rifting Cloud Valley starting tomorrow. It is said to be the abbot's order. From tomorrow on
Start closing the valley."
Ming Zheng said: "Hu Xiaotian also said that they were missing a guard and that the guard was captured by an evil spirit, but why is there no movement at all in the west courtyard?"
Tongji said: "How can the emperor put the life of a guard in his eyes? How do you know that the disappearance of the guard has nothing to do with them?"
Mingzheng looked stunned, and suddenly remembered that their Tianlong Temple had always been peaceful and peaceful, but since the emperor came, strange things had happened one after another. Could it be that all of this was really the emperor's doing?
Tongji said: "I need to report this to the abbot as soon as possible. We must send more manpower to the West Courtyard and pay attention to their movements."
