Chapter 122 House arrest
Emperor Zhou was taken aback when he heard the words: "Brother said, this king is curious about this person. Tomorrow I will take the opportunity to leave the palace and go to Nalanda Temple."

Inside the Landa Temple
The abbot looked at the Chinese book in his hand, and then at the guard in front of him, his eyes showed a hint of thought.

"Master, whether it is successful or not, we are all waiting for your words. After you are successful, the empress will definitely deal with it and allow you to preach Buddhism in Gaojing. If it is not successful, I will go back and return to my order. His Royal Highness Duan Wang is still waiting." The steward looked at the abbot.

The abbot looked at the letter in his hand when he heard the words, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes: "You wait a bit later, I will go to discuss with the elders of the sect. After all, Buddhism has lived in seclusion for more than 1 years, so what a big deal it is to be born suddenly? This is not my family. Words can be the masters.”

"Then I'll wait until tonight!" The steward looked at the abbot.

The abbot hurried to the back mountain, but saw all the ancestors meditating on the back mountain, carefully checking the cave to prevent being cheated by the golden cicada.

"Master uncles and master ancestors, I have something urgent to report." The abbot bowed respectfully.

"What's the matter?" A monk came back to his senses.

"The birth of Buddhism is a major event," said the abbot.

After the words fell, everyone's eyes were attracted.

The abbot told the story, and then looked at the masters of mythology: "What do you guys think?"

"It's a good time to be born." A great monk said: "However, Huo Taixian is the son of the servant of the official department, and Huo Jia is also a big family in Gaojing, so it is not easy to mess with. Let's put Huo Taixian under house arrest here. , after all, it is necessary to find a name. Otherwise, troubles will arise, and the queen will not care about us."

"It's simple." The abbot stroked his beard and smiled, and looked at the golden liquid in the pool of water with his eyes: "The golden cicada escaped from its shell. On you and me."

"Use this as an excuse to put Huo Taixian under house arrest, and ask Shenxiu to go to retreat with him, saying that he is undergoing an inspection. Even if the court inquires in the future, we will have an excuse to shirk. Otherwise, the Jin Chanzi will be the first to suffer. .” The abbot twisted the rosary:
"What's more, Huo Jia entrusted me to accept Huo Taixian as his apprentice. It's not too much for us to keep him in the temple for ten or twenty years to practice in seclusion, right?"

"Excellent! Excellent!" All seven monks twiddled their rosary beads lightly, then put their hands together, and the matter was considered settled.

"It's just a matter of acting. Shenxiu will ask him to go to closed doors to practice hard and understand the Buddha's Dharma in the future, so as to gather his true spirit as soon as possible. Don't go out and walk around at will." One of the old monks said.

"Good! I'll go down the mountain and talk to Junior Brother Shenxiu." The abbot replied.

abbot downhill
Shenxiu was sitting happily in the meditation hall, thinking that Huo Taixian would belong to him after the Six Realms of Reincarnation, and couldn't help smiling from ear to ear, his eyes full of complacency.

Suddenly, I heard a little novice coming from outside the door: "Master Shenxiu, Abbot, please go to the backyard to explain."

Shenxiu didn't suspect him, got up and went to the backyard, but saw the abbot sitting in the meditation hall, chanting sutras.

Shenxiu didn't bother, she just stood quietly by the side and waited until the abbot stopped chanting scriptures before seeing Shenxiu stepping forward to salute:
"I don't know what the senior brother told me to come here?"

The abbot looked at Shenxiu, showing a touch of relief: "Uncle Master has ordered that Landa Temple is about to be born, facing the coming world of great controversy. You are the hope and seed of the future of Landa Temple, and you will suffer doom. Master Uncle has Order, I order you to go to the Mani Cave to retreat and rectify your cultivation, and if you don’t condense your true spirit, you can’t leave the retreat.”

Shenxiu was taken aback, and the abbot said again: "Huo Taixian, what do you think?"

……

Landa Temple

In order to resolve the conflict with Shenxiu, Huo Taixian had to temporarily make a marriage contract with Babao, but only after midnight, a knock on the door woke up Huo Taixian who was sleeping: "Who?"

"It's me!" Shenxiu's voice came from outside the door.

"Master, why did you come here late at night?" Huo Taixian opened the door and invited Shenxiu into the room.

Shenxiu dodged and hid in the room, then closed the door with her hand and extinguished the candles in the room.

Seeing this scene, Huo Taixian was taken aback: "Master, why is this?"

"There is an accident in Lantuo Temple, if you get the chance, leave as soon as possible." Shenxiu looked at Huo Taixian:
"Otherwise, it will be difficult to step out of this door again."

"What? Master, you leaked the news of reincarnation?" Huo Taixian was startled.

The importance of the reincarnation map is self-evident. If Shenxiu leaks the reincarnation map, Huo Taixian will never live in peace in the future.

"I'm not stupid!" Shenxiu said angrily, "Yesterday afternoon, when you and I were discussing about Babao's marriage, someone suddenly came to visit, and then the abbot suddenly changed his tone, and discussed with several uncles that he would put you under house arrest. Do not go out of the temple."

"The patriarch ordered me to go to the Mani cave to retreat and gather the true spirit. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. Be careful in the future. Don't you want to worship Buddhism? Now is also an opportunity." Shenxiu looked at Huo Taixian, then turned around Just go outside:

"The patriarchs are waiting for me in the back mountain, so you can take care of yourself. Also, take good care of Babao and his mother for me. As for the marriage, don't mention it for the time being. I will talk about it after I leave the customs. You must hide the marriage, otherwise I'm afraid you will involve the Eight Treasures."

Without giving Huo Taixian a chance to speak, Shenxiu hastily turned and left.He didn't dare to stay here for too long, if the abbot found out about his relationship with Huo Taixian, he was afraid that something bad would happen.

Hearing Shenxiu's endless words, and seeing Shenxiu's back in a hurry, Huo Taixian put his hands behind his back, raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, pondered for a while, then got up and walked outside the temple.

Shenxiu sent messages in such a hurry that she didn't even have a chance to catch her breath.

"You can't stay here! You can't stay here!" Huo Taixian pushed open the door and walked out of the house, looking at the room of Babao's mother and child, thoughts flickered in his mind: "Babao is Shenxiu's daughter, nothing will happen if she stays in the temple. I am here now If you're stuck, it's better to go first."

Huo Taixian didn't dare to use the five ghosts moving mountains to escape, so as not to disturb the myths in the Landa Temple, so he opened the gate of the courtyard, walked through Langfang along the way, and walked to the gate of the Landa Temple without any twists and turns.

As long as you open the gate and step over the threshold, you will be outside the Landa Temple, and the sea and the sky will surely be open at that time, and the Landa Temple will not be able to help itself.

Huo Taixian stepped forward to open the door, just as he opened it, a familiar figure came into view.

"Amitabha!" The abbot chanted the Buddha's name, and looked at Huo Taixian calmly: "In the middle of the night, where does the benefactor want to go? Could it be that there is something shady?"

"The master said that Lanta Temple would not accept me as a disciple. He came to meditate at night, and felt that staying here was a waste of time, so he thought of leaving this place to find another good fortune." Huo Taixian looked at Abbot.

The abbot twisted the rosary when he heard the words, and looked at Huo Taixian: "The benefactor, please go back. The golden cicada escaped from its shell, and the true spirit disappeared. Maybe it was lurking on the benefactor's body. I can't just sit back and watch the benefactor suffer from the golden cicada. Let alone the true spirit of Jin Chanzi go out and endanger the common people in the world."

"If the benefactor wants to leave, we need to confirm that Jin Chanzi's true spirit has never been hidden in the benefactor before we can let you go," the abbot said.

Huo Taixian's complexion suddenly turned ugly when he heard the words: "Master, check it now."

"No. The golden cicada is the most cunning, good at hiding and dormant, even I can't tell the difference. What I can do is to ask the benefactor to wait at the Landa Temple. When we find the whereabouts of the real golden cicada, we will You can let the benefactor leave." The old monk looked at Huo Taixian:

"The Minister of the Ministry of Officials sent you to Lantuo Temple to ask you to learn from a teacher. Now, in order not to delay the benefactor, I am willing to accept the benefactor as a disciple and teach the benefactor my secret method of Buddhism in person. It will not delay the benefactor's time. It is the best of both worlds to be able to keep Jin Chanzi's true spirit from getting away."

"Before the golden cicada escaped its shell, only you and Shenxiu had contact with its real body. The true spirit of the golden cicada must be hidden in the two of you. I have already ordered Shenxiu to go to the back mountain to retreat. As for the benefactor... as long as the benefactor does not Just leave Lantuo Temple." The abbot looked at Huo Taixian with his eyes.

Huo Taixian looked the abbot up and down, turned around and walked back without saying much.

"It's weird, why did this great monk suddenly change his mind?" Huo Taixian was puzzled.

"Weird! It's really weird!" Huo Taixian's thoughts turned in his mind: "The true spirit of Jin Chanzi has been reincarnated, should I still be imprisoned in this Landa Temple for a lifetime?"

Jin Chanzi has gone to reincarnation, where can he find Jin Chanzi's true spirit?

And when I walked out of the golden liquid, the other party didn't talk about the true spirit of Jin Chanzi, but just narrated it at this time, which is obviously weird.

Huo Taixian put his hands in his sleeves, his eyes quietly looked at the stars in the sky, and countless thoughts passed by: "I still need to find a chance to escape from the Landa Temple."

At dawn on the second day, a Buddhist monk came to the gate and came to Huo Taixian's courtyard: "Young Master Huo, Buddhism does not accept female relatives, so please send her down the mountain."

Hearing the movement, Babao walked out of the house, looking at Huo Taixian with a pair of eyes, and Huo Taixian looked at the novice, and smiled: "This lady is the biological daughter of Shenxiu, the mythical mage of your Landa Temple. It needs to be taken care of by students, and there should be no troubles."

The monk was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly bowed to the Eight Treasures: "I have seen the female Bodhisattva."

Huo Taixian looked at Babao, and the little girl looked at him eagerly: "Brother Huo, let's go down the mountain together."

Huo Taixian smiled: "You take your mother down the mountain first, I still have some things in the Landa Temple, I will go to you after I finish."

He walked into the house again, took out a package, and handed it to Babao: "There are some soft gold and silver in it. If you take it, as long as you don't squander it, it will be enough for you for a lifetime. Just wait for me at the foot of the mountain, don't go far .”

Babao nodded when he heard the words, looked at Huo Taixian with reluctance, took Huo Taixian's package, got up and helped his mother down the mountain.
