The next morning, Hu Xiaotian woke up and opened his eyes. He saw that Mingsheng next door was no longer there. He was the only one left in the entire cell. He yawned and slept peacefully. He thought of what happened last night.
Things happened, but I don’t know how these monks will treat me today.
While I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps outside, but Mingzheng walked in with two monks. He looked at Hu Xiaotian outside, waved his hand and said, "Open the door!"
One of the monks opened the door.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Are you going to let me go?"
Ming Zheng walked into it, stared at his eyes coldly and said, "You are lucky, the elder will let you go back."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You can leave as soon as you ask me to leave, and I will go back as soon as you ask me to go back?"
Ming Zheng whispered: "Aren't you afraid that we will tell the emperor about the destruction of the Immortal Buddha? You won't be able to bear it when the time comes, right?"
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing when he heard that Ming Zheng actually threatened him. He thought about Ming Zheng and nodded: "I really can't afford it. Do you think Tianlong Temple can afford it? Does the emperor believe in me or you? If the emperor
I insist that you hand over the culprit who destroyed the Buddha statue, I am afraid that everyone in Tianlong Temple will be suspected."
"you……"
"What are you? As a monk, you don't know how to be compassionate and kind to others? You keep a straight face all day long, as if your wife is dead. You have completely ruined the image of Tianlong Temple."
"you……"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Look at you, you are also cultivating Buddhism, but Brother Mingsheng is much better than you. I think you will just do odd jobs in the Discipline Academy in your life, and you have no hope of achieving enlightenment."
Ming Zheng was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. If he hadn't been in front of his two junior brothers, and if his master hadn't told him earlier, he would have never finished with Hu Xiaotian. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "After the donor returns, you will have to decide what you should say and do."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am just a passer-by to Tianlong Temple. All the masters are Buddhist practitioners. You should understand the principle that it is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. To put it bluntly, we must make more good connections. Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded.
If there is evil retribution, it’s not that you don’t repay it because the time has not yet come.”
Mingzheng said: "I understand!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have no grudges or grudges with you. Although we may not be able to be friends, we don't want to be enemies. I have always had a bad temper. I want to argue about right and wrong in everything. Last night you brought someone to kill me."
I was detained here and locked up all night. Now you say it's okay and let me go. Do you think I'm a little monk under your command? I come and go as soon as you call me. I was locked up all night and you didn't even get an explanation.
?”
This was the first time that Mingzheng met such a difficult person, but the task his master gave him was to send Hu Xiaotian back safely and try not to make the matter a big deal. Thinking of this, Mingzheng suppressed the anger in his heart and whispered: "The donor wants to
how?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Three conditions. First, prepare hot water for me. Also prepare a new set of clothes. I want to take a shower and change clothes."
Mingzheng nodded, why did it sound like two conditions?
"Two, you have to apologize to me!"
"What?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "How about you let me lock you up for one night and we can even out?"
Mingzheng's scalp tightened, and he secretly sighed in his heart as to why he had provoked this evil star. But he didn't know why the master wanted him to do this. After thinking about it, he sang a promise to Hu Xiaotian and said: "Donor Hu, last night the poor monk sent someone to the house without finding out."
The benefactor brought me here, and the benefactor was wronged, and the benefactor forgives me."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Although sincerity is lacking, it is still careless. Forget it. The third condition is to let Mingsheng go. He was punished because of me. Now that I have been let go, I will prove what happened."
It has nothing to do with me, so Mingsheng naturally does not need to be punished."
"Uh... I need to ask Master for instructions on this matter before I can give an answer."
Hu Xiaotian waved his hand impatiently and said: "Hurry up and ask for instructions. I'll take a shower and change clothes. Oh, I'm hungry. Let's get some food."
A group of monks really couldn't laugh or cry. This guy was just kicking his nose in the face, but since the elder agreed to let him go, they couldn't say anything and could only do it according to the conditions Hu Xiaotian said.
Hu Xiaotian took a warm bath, changed into a new monk's robe, and was eating a breakfast of clear soup and water when he saw Monk Mingsheng walking in. It turned out that Mingzheng released Mingsheng after asking for instructions.
Hu Xiaotian's three requests were all agreed. Now Hu Xiaotian couldn't say anything more and left the Discipline Academy accompanied by Mingsheng. Hu Xiaotian wanted to continue to the Split Cloud Valley, but Mingsheng asked: "Where is the donor going?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "You call me Junior Brother, why are you suddenly so angry with me after not seeing each other for more than ten days?"
Mingsheng smiled sheepishly and changed his words: "Junior brother, where are you going?"
Hu Xiaotian pointed in the direction of the Split Cloud Valley: "The Emperor asked me to continue burning incense and chanting sutras in the Split Cloud Valley for seven days. In total, there are still two days left. Of course I must complete the task assigned to me by the Emperor, otherwise I will be deceiving the emperor."
Mingsheng said: "Junior brother, you may not know that the abbot has decided to close the valley for inspection starting today, and no one is allowed to enter it."
Hu Xiaotian scratched his head. The plan might as well change. It seems that Tianlong Temple has doubts about the Riyun Valley. However, an investigation may not be able to find out what happened in the valley. Since Abbot Tongyuan has already spoken, there is no need for him to go.
To touch this brow, I can only go to Puxian Yuan to talk to the old emperor first.
Hu Xiaotian and Mingsheng parted ways in the West Courtyard, Mingsheng went to Wuguan Hall, and Hu Xiaotian went to Puxian Courtyard.
When the old emperor heard that he was back, he had someone pass him in. After Hu Xiaotian entered, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, I hope you will punish me for failing to fulfill your Majesty's instructions." He knelt down on his knees and cursed secretly in his heart.
This thing is most likely a counterfeit, and it actually made me kneel down to you again and again. When I find out your flaw, I will definitely let you return your money with profit.
The old emperor asked: "Why did you come back so early?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, it was Tianlong Temple that sealed off the Riyun Valley for inspection, so I was cleared out in advance."
The old emperor frowned and said, "Why do I need to clean you up?"
Hu Xiaotian didn't answer in a hurry and rubbed his knees first.
The old emperor understood what he meant: "Get up!"
Hu Xiaotian quickly stood up, smiled at him and said: "I have been kneeling in front of the Immortal Buddha day and night for more than ten days to chant sutras, and my knees are swollen." What this guy said was pitiful, but he didn't say it at all.
I have never knelt before the Buddha even once.
"What am I asking you?" Long Xuanen frowned impatiently.
Hu Xiaotian leaned over and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty should remember that I told you about Qi Danei's disappearance."
"how?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I heard ghosts crying and howling every day during the past few days in Split Cloud Valley. I guess Tianlong Temple also heard it, so they closed the valley, probably because they wanted to find out."
Long Xuanen nodded: "But there is no need for them to drive you back."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I think they may suspect that the disappearance of Qi Danei is related to me. They may also suspect that I have an ulterior motive for entering the Rifting Cloud Valley again and again." He went to the Rifting Cloud Valley for all the reasons.
Sent by the old emperor, saying this is tantamount to indirectly saying that Long Xuanen has an ulterior motive.
Long Xuanen's face showed displeasure: "You are thinking too much."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not that I'm overthinking, but that Tianlong Temple is obviously wary of us. I can conclude that the monk Mingsheng from Wuguantang was actually sent to supervise me. Also, on the way back, I met someone
I have seen many monks who are wary of me. I think they are not only wary of me, but also the emperor!"
Long Xuanen said angrily: "Bold!"
Hu Xiaotian lowered his head: "I always think about the emperor, and I hope the emperor will think twice."
Long Xuanen turned around, walked slowly for a few steps, and whispered: "What else happened to you in the Rifting Cloud Valley? Is there something you didn't tell me?"
Hu Xiaotian secretly sneered in his heart, "Trick me? This old guy is playing psychological warfare with me. I'm afraid you're still a little behind." He looked like he was thinking hard, and after a while he said: "It's nothing!"
Long Xuan'en said: "How dare you lie to me? You were arrested and sent to the Discipline Academy last night, right?"
Hu Xiaotian was shocked, how could the old emperor know so clearly? Could it be that he sent someone to follow him? No. With his own perception, he must be able to detect the traces of the guards, and those guards who sneaked into the east courtyard from the west courtyard may not be able to hide it.
He can get through the eyes of the monks of Tianlong Temple. Besides, he is still unenlightened in the Rifting Cloud Valley. Any changes in the Rifting Cloud Valley cannot be hidden from him. But since the old emperor said this, it proves that he is sure. Could it be that Tianlong Temple's
Are there his cronies among the monks?
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, I can't hide anything from you." At this time, he couldn't help but admit it.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't want your Majesty to worry."
Long Xuanen said angrily: "You bastard! You just want to deceive the emperor!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, I am full of passion and loyalty. I am loyal to the emperor and devoted to the great prosperity of the country. The heaven and the earth can represent it, and the sun and the moon can serve as a reference!"
Long Xuanen glared at Hu Xiaotian with wide eyes. Hu Xiaotian did not kneel down to apologize this time, but looked fearlessly at the Dakang Emperor. Long Xuanen glared at him for a long time, then nodded and said: "You have some courage.
No wonder Qiqi values you so much."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember what you said to me in Lingxiao Palace?"
Long Xuanen said calmly: "It's been too long, I don't remember it anymore."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty said that a country has only one monarch, and I ask my ministers to be loyal to you for the rest of their lives."
Long Xuanen pursed his lips, sighed and said, "It's rare that you still remember this sentence."
When Hu Xiaotian heard his answer, he became more and more convinced that the old emperor in front of him was simply a fake. He had never said such a thing at all at first. In order to save Long Xiyue, he pushed him to the ground, but Long Xuanen never acted in front of him.
Not mentioned.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Because of the situation, I didn't answer your Majesty at that time. Your Majesty was very angry and gave me a slap in the face. I still feel my face is burning."
Long Xuan'en said: "Just remember, if you dare to deceive me, I will definitely take your head when you go back."
Hu Xiaotian secretly cursed in his heart, asking you to be paralyzed. I thought you were the emperor, but after working for a long time, you turned out to be a special actor. How many times did I kowtow to you? Just wait for me, no matter you are Hongbeimo or Heibeimo. , I will make you confused!
