Chapter 101 I Splash Tathagata with My Blood!
"I can play!"

Li Yan was the first to discover it, looking at the Buddha statue with a playful corner of his mouth.

It is impossible for the Tathagata to come down to earth. Perhaps in some worlds with high ceilings, there will be traces of immortals and Buddhas, but this world obviously does not.

So this is...

Someone wants to offer auspicious blessings?

After all, Xiangrui knows everything about this thing, and many of them are quite technical and innovative.

Playing some tricks in the Buddha statue and making the Buddha statue respond is a kind of auspiciousness.

"The Buddha has appeared! The Buddha has appeared!!"

Sure enough, although the vast majority of people bowed their heads and prayed sincerely, there were a few who looked up and had a panoramic view of the shaking of the Buddha's head.

They were stunned at first, then surprised, and finally they also showed piety and shouted loudly.

It doesn't matter if you shout, everyone looked over and saw that the solemn golden Buddha's face was really trembling slightly.

The eminent monks and masters of more than a dozen monasteries performed the puja without any surprise.

But in the eye contact, there is a bit of blame.

Who the hell did such an exaggerated thing, if they have to do such a thing in the future, it will be very difficult!
Li Yan couldn't help but laugh: "The religious world is also so complicated? Why do monks have to suffer to be monks..."

In all fairness, this effect is indeed surprising, but it is not just this time that the escape is like parading through the streets.

From now on, I have to move the Buddha's head every time, in case there is someone inside...

"Wait, anyone?"

Li Yan's eyes suddenly focused on the Buddha statue.

When it was too late to say it, the mouth of the Buddha statue hissed and was pushed away by a head.

Apparently that part had been cut open a long time ago, and at this time the original shape was revealed, a familiar yet unfamiliar face poked out, looking down.

Li Zhi's eyesight was poor, he couldn't see clearly, and his expression was a little dazed.

Empress Wu's gaze was like a torch, but she froze suddenly.

Judging from the appearance, that looks like her nephew Wu Minzhi, but the degree of aging is almost completely different from the Wu Minzhi in my impression.

But at the next moment, a familiar voice confirmed his identity and spread to all directions: "I am Wu Minzhi, Mrs. Rong Guo Yang is my grandma, and she is seven years old today, so I will see you off!"

A chill went straight to everyone's spirit.

The missing Wu Minzhi is hidden in the Tathagata Buddha statue he supervised to pray for Mrs. Rongguo?

What is he going to do?
Empress Wu's reaction was still the fastest, and she sternly shouted: "Guard, quickly drag this villain who disturbed the Dharma meeting out of the Buddha statue!!"

Immediately, guards stepped forward, but the surrounding people who worshiped Buddha began to riot.

"Buddha appears! Buddha bless!!"

"Don't blaspheme my Buddha!!"

Believers who worship Buddha don't know who is hidden inside, they are only spreading the crazily about the Buddha's appearance, and then squeezed here desperately.

Seeing that the chaos was about to break out, Li Zhi took a breath, his face pale: "Quick, quick, push the Buddha statue into the Suzaku Gate!"

The imperial guards rushed up, including An Shengan, dozens of strong and powerful men were about to push back the frame on which the Buddha was placed.

But during this process, Wu Minzhi's voice echoed in his ears:

"When I was thirteen, my grandma was in the Buddhist hall and forced me to have sex with men..."

"There is no one else in the Buddhist hall, only the Tathagata Buddha statue, looking down silently..."

"Every time I can't bear it, I will raise my head and look at the Buddha beggingly, praying that it can stop Grandma..."

"But the Buddha is always like that, standing quietly, never responding to my request!"

"Everyone in the world prays for the blessing of the Buddha! Why doesn't it appear! Why doesn't it appear!!"

In more than a dozen monasteries headed by Ci'en Temple, all the monks clasped their hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, hoping to cover up that voice.

We didn't hear anything.

But obviously, although the Buddha statue is tall, it is still a six-story building, not the thirty-story building of Tongtian Stupa.

Shouting down from the sixth floor, of course I could hear it clearly.

So ever.

Except for Li Zhi who knew the inside story through the inner guard of plum blossoms, and Empress Wu who knew about the nasty things about her mother and nephew.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone who could hear it.

Wu Minzhi is twenty-nine years old this year, and it was sixteen years ago when he was thirteen.

Mrs. Rong Guo is ninety-one years old this year, and was nearly seventy-five at that time.

What the hell!

The courtiers who used to be close to Wu Minzhi trembled and almost fell down, while the other courtiers who had nothing to do with them exchanged glances, showing that they were enjoying the show.

And those imperial guards were so shocked that they listened with ears pricked up, but they also knew that it was of great importance. For the sake of their own future, they didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, so they tried their best to push the frame into the imperial city.

But after a while, Empress Wu's sharp voice rushed straight into the air: "Nonsense, who put you in the Buddha statue, slandered Mrs. Rong Guo, and brought trouble to the court!"

Wu Minzhi did not answer, but laughed loudly: "There is no one else, I came here to repay karma... Buddha bless, Buddha bless you all! Come quickly!"

The last words are shouted to the people who worship Buddha.

Due to the problem of the angle, except for the direction of the Suzaku Gate, the front face of the Buddha can be clearly seen, the rest are the sides, and some are simply the back of the head.

How could ordinary people understand Wu Minzhi's voice? They only knew that after worshiping the Buddha for so many years, the Buddha finally appeared!
"Buddha bless!!"

"We can't take the Buddha privately, we also need the blessing of the Buddha!!"

Especially seeing the guards pushing the Buddha statue into the imperial city, the fanatical believers couldn't take it anymore, and rushed forward one after another, not even afraid of the internal guards.

Li Yan was caught inside, while stopping the crazy believers, while listening to Wu Minzhi's wild laughter:

"Grandma has done so many scandals, why should she enjoy her old age and be honored after death?"

"Just because she is Mrs. Rong Guo, the mother of this wicked woman, Wu Mei?"

"Now you still want to pay homage to the next life?"

"Why!"

Shouts echoed in the sky, and the believers below rioted.

Crazy Buddhist worshipers came from behind, wanting to bathe in the Buddha's light.

The inner guards surrounded the crowd, but they were still pushed by them, crowding everywhere, screaming.

Ever since, dozens of guards pushed the huge frame, but there was no room to retreat.

Seeing the people adding chaos, Empress Wu's eyes sharpened, and she was about to speak.

Li Zhi grabbed her sleeve and shook his head.

Not to mention that this is the Vermilion Bird Gate in Chang'an, this is a ceremony to accumulate merit for Mrs. Rong Guo, and there are certain things that must not be done.

Wu Minzhi knew this very well, so he tried every means to hide in the Tathagata Buddha statue, and waited until the Dharma meeting opened before making trouble.

If you raise the butcher knife, everything will be over.

Empress Wu also realized it, and looked sharply at the eminent monks present.

The eminent monks headed by Master Puguang all lowered their heads and clasped their hands together. No one dared to respond to Empress Wu's eyes.

No monk dared to risk disrespect, show lightness kung fu, fly in front of him, and desecrate the Buddha statue in front of the public.

Seeing this, Empress Wu's chest heaved with anger, Li Zhi's eyes slanted, and he nodded slightly.

"I come!"

Suddenly, a Taoist priest with fluttering sleeves flew out from the crowd: "Anyone who dares to do such a blasphemy against gods and Buddhas, come down!"

Li Yan looked over: "Ming Chongyan!"

On the surface, Chang'an Buddhism and Taoism are very peaceful, there is no friction, and they all serve the imperial power, but there are never fewer intrigues behind the scenes.

Ming Chongyan, whether he was a plum blossom internal guard or a Taoist priest, was very happy to give Buddhism a head-on blow at this time.

Ever since, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ming Chongyan floated out, performed lightness kung fu, and two-pointed his toes on the Buddha statue, and flew up to the Buddha's head with a chic posture, and grabbed Wu Minzhi with both hands.

Li Yan said silently: "It's over..."

Not to mention Wu Minzhi, even if he was stuck inside the Buddha statue, he would not be able to resist Ming Chongyan.

However, the next moment, it was Ming Chongyan who suddenly changed color.

Because he pulled hard, unexpectedly, he didn't pull Wu Minzhi out, but let the blood spurt out instead.

He took a closer look and exclaimed, "You sewed yourself together with the Buddha statue?"

"I am the Tathagata! I am the Tathagata!"

Wu Minzhi felt very fortunate that he was greedy for the money for making Buddha statues.

It's not that he lacks that little money, but just like the banquet during the funeral, he hates Mrs. Rong Guo anxiously in his heart, and these are all means of venting.

Ever since, the Buddha statue has become a tofu dregs project, which looks glamorous on the outside, but in fact the craftsmanship inside does not meet the requirements at all.

Just as the Buddhists say, one drink and one peck is pre-determined.

This kind of Buddha statue, Wu Minzhi can get in from the bottom, and he can ask Kumara to do one thing.

A crazy and brutal thing.

"come out!"

Ming Chongyan was not reconciled, so he stretched out his hand to pull again, and saw that the flesh was torn apart, and streams of dark red blood flowed out along the cracks in the linen cloth of the Buddha statue.

"Hey! Hiss!"

Wu Minzhi's facial features were distorted in pain, but he laughed maniacally: "I'm going to die here! Let's do it! Let's see if you dare to come here and kill me, a first-rank duke!"

Ming Chongyan's pupils contracted, and he slashed across with his palm, trying to stun him, but it didn't work. In the splash of blood, the old face was extremely ferocious, and his heart shuddered, and he didn't dare to strike again.

Capturing Wu Min alive is a meritorious service, but killing Wu Min is completely different, otherwise the imperial guards would have shot him to death with a bow and crossbow.

Ming Chongyan spun around and retreated.

Although Li Zhi below couldn't see the details clearly, he saw Ming Chongyan returning empty-handed, and Wu Minzhi's voice still resounded through the sky.

Disappointment flashed across the saint's eyes, and Empress Wu was even more furious: "Get the bow and arrow! Shoot me! Life or death!"

The point is, the commotion outside the arena is even bigger.

"Look! The Buddha is bleeding! The Buddha is bleeding!"

Before Wu Min's voice was so hoarse, people who were a little further away couldn't hear what he said at all.

But at this time, when Wu Minzhi was pulled several times by Ming Chongyan, the stitched wound burst with blood.

The originally golden Tathagata Buddha statue started from the head, and there were streaks of blood flowing down.

In the sky and on the earth, bloody Tathagata.

Under this unprecedented impact, Wu Minzhi uttered his final scream:

"Buddha said, karma retribution."

"I said, that's exactly what it should be."

"With my blood, with my life, wash away the sins of this life!"

"With my blood, with my life, you will not be rewarded in the next life!"

"Grandma, good Sun Minzhi is here to see you off..."

"The last ride!!"
