Xiangguo Temple is the largest temple in Kaifeng City and one of the largest temples in the world. During the Northern Song Dynasty, it was highly respected by the royal family and expanded many times. At its peak, it covered an area of more than 500 acres and had more than a thousand monks. Wuxu landed and sneaked in that night.
The Buddha Hall is a side hall of Daxiangguo Temple, where Master Yuanxin and his disciple Jingci practice alone.
Wuxu agreed to be the so-called messenger of Baima Temple and Xiangguo Temple because of some considerations. There are four reasons: one is that Baima Temple and Xiangguo Temple are world-famous temples, and both Yuanfa and Yuanxin have insight into the secrets.
The great true spiritual monk who knows the cause and effect, this time he took out a heavy treasure and asked himself to be the messenger, which is also a kind intention, otherwise wouldn't Nuo
There is no one in the big thousand-year-old White Horse Temple and Xiangguo Temple?; for the two, I originally wanted to go out for experience, and it was just right to use this name to visit famous temples and ancient temples; for the third, that is Tianwaitian, I
I wholeheartedly pursue the great road, but I don’t expect that this outer heaven is the only place to ascend to the upper world. Why don’t I be distracted and care about it?
On the night of enlightenment, I received the Yuan Dharma and the token of Master Yuan Xin. The "Surangama Sutra" was enshrined in front of the niche in the Dharma Realm Buddhist Hall, but the small seven-colored glazed pagoda was also collected in the Sumeru Precepts. Why? The magical weapon is long.
It was given by the Lord, and it is not suitable for refining in the Dharma Realm. It is a sign of respect to keep it in the Sumeru Precepts as it is.
Early on the next morning, Wuxu had breakfast at Xiangguo Temple and walked out. He saw a lot of people outside the temple, and then he realized that it was a regular temple fair in the middle of the month. Wuxu, wholeheartedly, left the city early to avoid the people who seemed to be coming from the temple.
The masked fairy who came from heaven visited the Buddhist temples in the Central Plains earlier. He didn't stop to take a closer look, he just took advantage of every opportunity and walked directly towards the city gate.
Unexpectedly, after walking for three to five miles, the middle of the street was blocked with water, and I couldn't get around it. I realized that I was helpless, and I thought, this is a kind of experience, right?
At that moment, he followed the example of the people next to him and squeezed in. Before he reached the middle, there were three floors inside and three floors outside. Wuxu only reached the sandwich floor when he heard the sound of a woman crying. It was very miserable. After asking for a while, he found out.
,
It turned out to be a street vendor who was burned alive in the stall last night and was discovered this morning. The new widow who came from the countryside is now kneeling inside, guarding the charred corpse, crying her heart out.
Wuxu asked in surprise, "Is the world so low? Wouldn't it be great if relatives, friends, and neighbors could help this poor woman, bury her body in the ground, and collect some subsidies?" The people next to her looked at each other with different expressions.
He looked at Wuxu strangely, then stretched his neck to look in... Finally there was a person who seemed impatient with Wuxu nagging,
Said, "You monk, you spend all day eating and chanting Buddha in the temple, so ignorant of things! Do you think it's that simple?" Wuxu stared and asked, "Don't ask the monk whether he knows something. If you know what's hidden inside, why?
Are you still here just watching?" The man clasped his hands behind his back, glanced at Wuxu as if he were a fool, laughed twice, but ignored him again.
Wuxu, angry in his heart, squeezed to the innermost place, came to the woman, sang a promise, and then said, "Sister-in-law, you can't be resurrected after death, so I hope you can express your condolences. I have some silver coins here, so I can take them."
The subsidies for burying relatives will be insufficient. If you have any grievances, you can tell them in front of everyone!" After that, he took out a gold ingot and placed it in front of the woman, and then looked around again.
When the people watching around saw this situation, under Wuxu's sharp eyes, they couldn't help but also took out their bags and threw out some pieces of silver.
The woman was there, kowtowing to Wuxu and everyone, but still crying, which made Wuxu slightly upset. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that the crowd of spectators was like a tide, and there were a few officials.
people walked in.
He was said to be an official, but he didn't wear a uniform, but his manner showed a bit of arrogance and unscrupulousness. The person in charge came forward, first glanced at Wuxu who was standing aside and said nothing, and finally
Then he came up to the woman and said in a tight tone, "Your man played with fire at night and almost burned down a street of stalls. Now he is buried in a sea of fire.
We will not hold her responsible for arson. You woman, why didn’t you bury the body, place it in the middle of the road, cry, block traffic, and disrupt the temple fair?” She paused and frowned at the sentence.
The black corpse said again, "That's all, I see you are a weak woman, and it is difficult to cope with the loss of your husband. I will ask someone to help you."
After saying that, he winked, and the people accompanying him shouted and came forward, lifted the body and threw it into a bullock cart behind. Seeing this, Wuxu stretched out his hand and drank, "Are you robbing the body?
"
The leader looked at Wuxu sideways, then turned his head slightly to look at Xiangguo Temple behind Wuxu, pinched a few rat whiskers on his chin, and asked, "This master practices in Xiangguo Temple?"
Wuxu didn't bother to answer, just stared at him.
Seeing that Wuxu was acting like this, the man added, "Since Emperor Shizu, the imperial court has issued decrees that all monks from Xiangguo Temple are not allowed to interfere in politics or mislead the people. Don't you, the master, know this and dare to disobey it?"
Wuxu clasped his hands and said, "Regardless of whether the young monk is a monk from Xiangguo Temple, you are here to snatch the corpse. There must be a hidden agenda in this matter!"
"There's a hidden secret!" A thief-minded man in a short shirt rushed over, pointed at the woman, and shouted to Wuxu, "It's just a temple fair today, and I want to put the body here,
You attracted everyone to watch, and you extorted a lot of money! You monk is so clueless! Be careful, I will punch you in the face!" After saying that, he lifted up his sleeves, revealing all the cold hairs.
Wuxu turned around, faced the rogue named Sun, and asked in a deep voice, "What, do you want to do something?" The rogue looked at Wuxu, hesitated, then put down his hand, and retreated back to the companions who came with him.
Zhu Wuxu chuckled.
At this time, the woman kneeling on the ground turned around, lowered her head, and said to Wuxu, "Thank you, Master. My man accidentally got angry last night.
He died. Now, the master and all the kind-hearted people have come to help, and the government has paid for the burning and burial. The women of the people, the women of the people, can't thank you enough." After saying that, he kept his head down and typed around.
Wuxu looked at the smiling old official standing next to him and roared, "Don't bully a weak woman!"
The old official with a sinister smile put down his hands from his whiskers and said in a deep voice, "The government is here to show sympathy to the victims, but you, a monk, are here causing trouble, disrupting the order of the temple fair, and destroying the peace and tranquility of Kaifeng Mansion.
Could it be a spy from the Red Scarf Army, or a remnant of the White Lotus Sect?"
Wuxu's eyes were blazing as he looked at the cunning old official, then looked at the woman who was kneeling there with her head bowed silently. He yelled, but finally made no move and was about to leave. The woman who said before
The thug who wanted to beat up Wuxu jumped out and blocked Wuxu's path, shouting, "You want to leave now? It's too late!"
But I saw a figure flash past. The rogue was kicked out of the crowd and fell unconscious to the ground. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive! Then, he saw a young Confucian scholar, wearing a white brocade robe, holding a paper fan, with his back to Wuxu, rushing toward him.
The old official shouted, "Just now you threatened this woman, saying that if she is still entangled here, you will order the chief of the village where she lives, burn her house, and arrest her children, right or wrong?!"
The old official didn't expect that the whisper he had just had with the woman would be overheard. He became a little angry and pointed his finger at the middle-aged Confucian scholar who had just appeared, "Don't spit on others, everything must be done.
Tell me the evidence!"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar snorted a few times and raised a jade pendant to his head. Suddenly, there was a sound from the jade pendant. When Wuxu and everyone listened carefully, it was the old official who had just treated the woman.
There were words of threats and inducements. In the words, if the woman complied, she would be burned and buried; if she did not comply, someone would burn her house and arrest her family!
The people watching suddenly let out a burst of boos and dissatisfaction. Wuxu shouted loudly, and was about to take down the sinister old official and a group of vicious thugs. However, he saw the middle-aged Confucian scholar stretching out his white fingers.
, with a wave of the paper fan, these people's heads disappeared one after another.
The crowd of onlookers screamed and dispersed. A small group of officers and soldiers nearby hurried over. The middle-aged Confucian scholar took out an object, waved it in front of the leader of the group of officers and soldiers, and then
It seemed that the message had been transmitted; then I saw the leader of the team of officers and soldiers, bending down to do the editing, and leading his subordinates to carry away the corpse that had just been beheaded.
Wuxu felt a little regretful in his heart, why didn't he take the lead and kill these scumbags? At worst, he flew away in the air and let this person take the advantage. With this thought in his heart, he stepped forward.
. He put his palms together and faced the back of this middle-aged Confucian scholar and said, "Little monk Wuxu, on behalf of this woman, thank you for your help!"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar stood there with his hands behind his back and replied, "Master Wuxu, don't you want to thank me for helping me out of trouble?" As the words lingered, the middle-aged Confucian scholar slowly turned around with a smiling face with dimples.
, there is cunning hidden between his eyebrows.
It was Guo Min whom I hadn't seen for many days.
Wuxu was so surprised that he stepped forward and asked, "Why have you arrived in Kaifeng?"
Guo Min frowned slightly, looked at the crowd around him and the blood on the ground, and said, "It's a mess here. Is there a quiet place to talk?"
Wuxu suddenly thought of a place he passed by in the morning when he came out of the courtyard where Master Yuanxin practiced, and said with a smile, "I wonder if you have been to Xiangguo Temple? If not, I know a place where you can look and see while walking.
Let’s chat.”
Guo Min, after hearing this, regardless of whether it was shocking or not, he flew straight to Xiangguo Temple.
As the saying goes
Women cry at temple fairs outside the temple, and people go all the way in the sea of fire at night.
It is rare for many monsters to realize their false anger, and women disguise themselves as men and slaughter with jade hands.
