Red House Shoufu

This benevolent old monk is none other than the old abbot of Dabaoen Temple, the Living Bodhisattva in the eyes of the people in the capital.

Lin Shu hadn't seen him for two years since the last farewell, and he didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances.

As one of the aristocrats in the capital, Jia Lian naturally visited the Dabaoen Temple often.He is also very familiar with Master Liaoran.

He wouldn't believe it if he was a wild monk or a wild Taoist priest, but Master Ming is different, who in the capital said Master Ran would not praise him?

"Grandmaster……"

"Master, are you back?"

Lin Shu understood the supernatural power of the master better than Jia Lian. This fierce man has saved a monk and a monk. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a living god.

Knowing the peace and tranquility on Master's face, he sized up the two of them and said with a smile: "The poor monk should have come back in time, and the unfinished business of that year can be settled today."

Jia Lian didn't understand. When he was about to ask carefully, Lin Shu greeted Master Ran and entered the room first: "Master came at just the right time. My brother is seriously ill. Doctors all over the capital are helpless..."

Lin Shu introduced Jia Baoyu's situation to the master, and invited him into the room.As soon as he entered the door, everyone in the room turned their gazes, and Jia Amnesty even slapped his thigh and greeted him excitedly.

"Master Liaoran...you are back!"

At this meeting, Jia Amnesty seemed to have seen the dawn, and he almost confided: "Master, my nephew will be saved if you come, please come in quickly, please come in quickly!"

"Amitabha, I haven't seen you for many years. The little father-in-law who is in charge of the family has now become a marquis!"

Master Qiaoran uttered a Buddha's name, which seemed to possess extremely magical magic power. Whether it was the little girl wiping tears in the room or the anxious Jia She and others, they gradually became peaceful.

I saw Master Liaoran approaching the bed, resting his right hand on Jia Baoyu's forehead, closing his eyes and reciting scriptures, the Buddhist bead bracelet in his left hand was fluctuating rapidly, at this time no one dared to disturb him, and all of them folded their hands piously. Jia Baoyu prayed.

I don't know how long it took before Master Liaoran sighed: "All the fruits originate from the cause, and all the rewards originate from the karma. All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew or electricity, and should be viewed in this way. For the Dharma, it is all about the combination of causes and conditions, when the conditions arise, and when the conditions disappear, it is nothing more than this..."

"Master, what's going on?" Jia Amnesty looked nervous, and the other people in the room were also full of anticipation.

Master Qingran felt Jia Baoyu's pulse again, and closed his eyes for a moment.

"The poor monk doesn't know medical skills, but the poor monk Baoyu's illness is somewhat sure..."

Hearing Master Mingran's humble words, the other doctors in the room were dumbfounded.If Master Qingming didn't know medical skills, wouldn't the few of them go back and smash their own plaques?
I just heard the master pointing to the piece of jade on Jia Baoyu's chest and continued: "This jade is not only Baoyu's amulet, but also the source of his disaster. Take it down, take it to your ancestral hall, and offer it to Jia Baoyu." The night before the spirit of our ancestors. Take it back after dawn tomorrow, put it next to Baoyu Layman’s pillow, and wake up within two days at most.” …

Jia Amnesty was a little dazed, for a moment he didn't know whether to believe in such ghosts or not.

Lin Shu was the first to understand what Master understood.It seems that Jia Baoyu's sudden coma this time was caused by the piece of jade he was carrying.

He stepped forward and reminded: "Uncle, it's okay to give it a try, I understand that the master must have his reasons for saying this..."

With Lin Shu's reminder, Jia Amnesty immediately came to his senses, took the jade from Jia Baoyu's chest, handed it to Jia Lian and asked him to send it to the ancestral hall as soon as possible.

Master Liaoran looked at the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor again, and found that it was just a prescription for calming the nerves and nourishing the mind, so he picked up a pen and added a few herbs, and handed it to Jia Amnesty.

"This prescription is quite suitable, but it's a little too cautious. The poor monk added a few medicines, and after seven days, adjust the prescription according to the situation."

"Master, Brother Bao, this is..." Lin Shu looked at Jia Baoyu whose brows had been stretched, and remembered the mysterious words that the master was chanting and saying just now. He was a little curious and wanted to ask the specific reason.

However, the master smiled slightly and shook his head gently: "The poor monk heard that the old layman also fell ill, so you might as well bring the poor monk to visit. In the middle of the hug, decades have passed in a flash, it is really a change of time, time has changed."

Jia Amnesty saw Master Ran's confident attitude, and Lin Shu's eyes signaled beside him, so he told Yingchun and asked her to take care of Jia Baoyu, and invited Master Ran to go out to Rongxi Hall.

Walking to a place where no one was around, the Master knew that he explained to Jia She and Lin Shu: "That piece of jade is indeed magical, and the poor monk can't tell its origin, but there is one thing that the Marquis needs to know. Jade is involved in a lot of cause and effect, if it follows the path established by the way of heaven, when the cause and effect are resolved, the Jia family, and people related to the Jia family, will all end up in ruins..."

"What? How is this possible? Could it be that there are really gods and ghosts in this world?" Jia She was shocked and exclaimed.

Master Qingran stopped and looked up at the sky.The early winter sun shines on people, making people addicted to the warmth given by the sun.

He seemed to be very relieved by the peace of this matter, and said leisurely: "The poor monk once told the guardian of this piece of jade that in this world, there is a deficiency in the way of heaven, and the way of humanity makes up for it. The way of heaven is ruthless, and the way of humanity changes it. Innocent mortals are the sacrifices of the gods, so let the mortals be the masters of this world!"

Jia Amnesty felt that his hands and feet were going weak, knowing that the master is not a Buddhist great virtue?Why would you say such unnatural and murderous words?Could it be that the terrifying monster on some mountain pretended to be him?

I saw that the master looked back at Jia She and Lin Shu, with boundless gentleness and kindness on his face: "The poor monk cut off the cause and effect of this jade more than ten years ago, although it has slightly relieved the suffering of some people involved. , but after all, it is a thing of the fairy family. The numerology of Baoyu Layman has been connected with this piece of jade. The difficulty today is actually that this piece of jade is resisting. As nourishment, I want to give it a go.” …

Jia Amnesty almost trembled and asked, "Then why not just smash it into pieces? Why put it in the ancestral hall?"

"The poor monk said that it is connected with the numerology of the layman Baoyu, and smashing it is equivalent to killing the layman Baoyu. The ancestors of the Jia family are all the pillars of the dynasty that the Lord killed. Tonight, I invite the Jia family's dynasties Let the ancestors raise their swords and fight again!"

Master Qingran said this, and looked towards the east of Rongguo Mansion. He uttered the Buddha's name, as if he was greeting the people in Jia's ancestral hall: "Amitabha, it's just a piece of broken stone. thing, isn't it?"

Swish!
The originally clear sky suddenly heard a muffled thunder. This time not only Jia Amnesty was stunned, but even Lin Shu's eyes widened.

……

Jia She has always kept a respectful distance from matters of gods, gods and ghosts.

However, understanding the words of the master today made his more than 40 years of three views collapse.

The old lady had already woken up under the treatment of the imperial doctor, but because she was worried about her grandson, she was a little dizzy for a while.

After being comforted by Master Liao Ran, he swallowed a bowl of medicine and fell into a deep sleep.Before the Jia family could reciprocate, Xia Shouzhong personally came to Rongguo Mansion to invite Master Lianran to the Forbidden City.

At the invitation of Jia Amnesty, Lin Shu stayed overnight in the Rongguo Mansion.

Not only was he physically and mentally exhausted today, but he was also shocked by Master Qingran's words.With full of doubts and expectations, he watched with red eyes in the room outside the ancestral hall.

"Nephew, do you think the ancestors would really destroy that piece of jade?"

Lin Shu held the tongs and moved the charcoal in the stove. There were a few slight crackling sounds, and the fire became vigorous, making his cheeks red.

He replied: "I don't know either, but it is clear that the master is not someone who has lost everything......"

Jia Amnesty was a little restless, got up and came to the window, opened the window, ignored the cold night wind, and looked at the ancestral hall with its closed gate not far away.

Master Qingran has warned that no matter what happens in the ancestral hall tonight, strangers should not come near.

He muttered to himself: "How can there be any gods and ghosts in this world? I can be sure that that piece of jade was obtained by Wang's back then!"

Lin Shu hesitated for a moment, and said, "It is true that Mrs. Wang got that piece of jade, but does Uncle know who gave it to her? Master Liaoran once said that when he was wandering in the south of the Yangtze River, he encountered a piece of jade. Together with a monk..."

Lin Shu recounted the things that Master Zhuo Ran had said to him, including the identity of the monk, the karma and established destiny of this piece of jade and the Jia family, Lin family, Xue family, historians and Wang family.

Under Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian's terrified eyes, Lin Shu sighed, "I don't believe in other things, but this matter has no room for me not to believe it. Uncle, think about it carefully. If you really understand what Master Ran said, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law died in the Tianxiang Tower, what would the royal family think of the Jia family? My father died of illness in Yangzhou. If the Lin family did not have me, what would happen to Yu'er's fate? Jia Wang Xueshi, after your Majesty does not get a response from the Jia family, what will the empress do? Whether it is Concubine Xian or Concubine Xiande, will Ningrong and Rongfu still be like this?"

terrible!

The more you think about it, the more terrifying it is!
Both Jia She and his son sat slumped on their chairs, and there were some things that they couldn't think about carefully. After a little thought, they could connect the cause and effect. …

If the monks continue to remove obstacles for that piece of jade together, the Lin family will die out, and Daiyu will definitely return to Rongguo Mansion.Jia Jing didn't care about ordinary things, Jia Zhen's bastard drove Qin Keqing to death, and the Jia family became sinners who disrespected the royal family and stained the royal blood.

Without Lin Shu's advice, Jia Lian would not have been in the emperor's eyes, and Jia Amnesty would have no hope... Everything will develop according to the established route. .

In the end, he failed to win the heir, and the emperor dealt with Jia Wang Xue Shi and other families who were not loyal to him...

Boom!

A thunderstorm suddenly sounded in the winter night sky, awakening Jia She and the two who were in fear.

Lin Shu had already looked out the window, only to see a peach tree at the gate of Jia's ancestral hall was ignited by thunder.Just as the servants outside the courtyard were about to rush in to fight the fire, Jia Jing and Jia Rong who rushed over stopped them.

What happened in the ancestral hall today, Jia Amnesty had already told Jia Jing, his ancestors and grandchildren.They all firmly remembered Master Liaoran's exhortation, no matter what happened, in the clan tonight, strangers should not get close.

Fortunately, the tree was far away from the house, and the pattering rain soon wiped it out.

Jia Lian welcomed Jia Jing's ancestors and grandchildren into the house, and they all silently looked at the ancestral hall not far away.Except for the sound of thunder and the peach tree that suddenly caught fire, everything seemed to be silent.

Time passed by breath by breath, and as soon as the hour passed, not only did the rain stop, but the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed.The stars shimmered, making Lin Shu feel extremely relaxed.

"Master Minglan once said that after the midnight, everything will be fine! It seems that the sound of thunder and thunder is the good news we are waiting for!"

The fear and anxiety just now disappeared from Jia Amnesty's face, and he suddenly burst out laughing.He told Master Qingran's instructions to him, and then Jia Jing and the others also let out a long sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces.

……

"Master has won again!"

"Your Majesty was wrong. It wasn't the poor monk who won, but His Majesty and the people of the world won!"

Qin Tianjian was brightly lit tonight, and two figures came up from the observatory platform, they were the emperor in dragon robes and the mage Qingran in monk clothes.

General Dahan has put the entire Qintian prison under martial law, and no one is allowed to approach.

Standing on the high observatory, the emperor glanced around the capital city where the dark clouds cleared and the wind and rain stopped. The capital city with occasional lights flickering, quiet and peaceful.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he asked, "Why did the master think that Lin Jinyu would be a variable?"

Master Liao Ran fiddled with the Buddha bead bracelet, and said with a chuckle, "He should be a dead person, but he gained a little life from the lack of heaven. This change made him a variable for the Lin family. Your Majesty ordered If he becomes the No. [-] scholar, then he will become a variable for Da Chu."

"Then what if I don't choose him as the champion that day?" The emperor suddenly felt endless curiosity.

I just heard Master Ran say: "Then, has your Majesty ever thought about why you chose him as the No. [-] Scholar without any hesitation?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment. He remembered the many strategies Lin Shu had presented and the strategies he had answered during the palace examination. It turned out that he had long believed that Lin Shu was a variable in the great Chu country, so he did not hesitate to do so during the palace examination. He was named champion.

Salt administration, the method of preventing and controlling plague and smallpox, the strategy of substituting work for relief, the border trade law, the method of slashing water and attacking sand...It turns out that Lin Shu has already contributed a lot to the court since he ruled morality for five years. Many practical strategies.

The emperor laughed out loud, he had never been so happy before.

That's right, he chose Lin Shu, so that Lin Shu could display his full ambition and become a variable in Da Chu.Since ancient times, there are often Chollima but Bole is not. As Bole, the emperor at this time thinks that his vision is really good.

The emperor, who had had enough laughing, looked in the direction of Dashi Yongfang, and asked indifferently but with some trepidation: "Then, what will happen to Jia Baoyu's piece of jade?"

Master Liaoran still had a smile on his face, and said cheerfully: "It's not so much the ancestors of the Jia family, it's better to say that it's the imperial edict given to the Jia family by the kings of the past. Under the fate of the country, how can the demons and monsters overthrow the sky? The winter thunder just now , it shows that there are no more gods and ghosts in the world!"
