Tianyi

Chapter 13 Purple Clothes (7)

"After I thought about these things, I knew that the pilgrim in the temple that day must be Ziyi, and both Master Puxing and Master Puneng knew it, but they just hid it from Master Punian. Master Puxing refused to let me say it out loud, and Master Puneng I don’t feel comfortable speaking out, not because I am afraid that Master Punian, who is the abbot, will be angry, but because I am afraid that once word spreads that there is a female guest hiding in Sian Chay Temple when doing such a great ritual, it will cause public confusion and it will be difficult to clear the reputation of Buddhism. Thorough. I guess that Ziyi must have been covering up the sutra theft that day in the inner hall, while Jingzhi took advantage of the opportunity to move the Buddha statue to retrieve the treasure. Jingzhi took out two treasures from the spaces between the living bricks, but only handed them to There is a sutra book in Ziyi." Xueyi Guan said from the bottom.

"After stealing the scriptures, Jingzhi pretended that nothing had happened and continued to go back to practice. Ziyi took off the silencer cotton and escaped from the temple. He should not have been hiding very far. He was just waiting for his father to leave the temple and go out to find her. According to Ziyi's idea , the scriptures were lost, and she ran away again, which is equivalent to admitting to stealing the scriptures. If others don’t know that she entered the temple, her own father will definitely know that she did it, and he will definitely look for her.”

"But she didn't know that Jingzhi took the sheep and stole the Buddha's relics. Master Pu Neng has a stubborn temper. He doesn't know that my Tianyi Sect has a miraculous sound-silencing technique, and he even thinks that Ziyi will never know the existence of the relics, so He never doubted Zi Yi who entered the temple, but instead suspected that his senior brother had stolen it. Master Puxing also believed in his own daughter. He knew that Zi Yi had miraculous skills, but he had no strength to move the Buddha statue, let alone steal the relics. If he really did that to such a treasure, Ziyi would be harming him. Ziyi certainly didn’t want him to become a monk, but Ziyi wouldn’t let him die, so Master Puxing suspected that the great monk who protected the law had stolen it. The two masters were so frozen."

Xue Yi said this in one breath, paused for a while, and then said: "The two masters would rather go on hunger strike and risk their lives in the temple. No one went out of the temple to look for Zi Yi, and the news of the lost treasure did not spread out of the temple. Besides, I guess Zi Yi is still hiding near Sian Chai Temple. If Master Pu Xing goes back to look for her, she will show up."

"Then, entering the temple to steal the treasure on the day of the ritual should be a plan that Jingzhi and Sister Ziyi had already discussed... Hey, this is wrong. Same question, how could Jingzhi know that there are Buddha relics hidden in the temple? It's just a book of Dharma, why would he help Sister Ziyi steal it? Just to make Sister Ziyi vent her anger?" Chiyi rolled his eyes, still confused.

"Haha, Jingzhi let it slip. When he started talking to me, he praised himself for his high understanding and extraordinary agility. He also said that except for the three monks, not even the masters and uncles in the temple knew about it, and he obviously didn't know about it. Other brothers and sisters of the same generation take it seriously." Xue Yi smiled and replied: "I thought at that time that with his pride, he would definitely be suspicious of the three monks who secretly moved the Buddha statues, and as long as he paid attention slowly, he would definitely guess it. , the living brick space under the Buddha statue definitely contains more than just Dharma scriptures, he will definitely try his best to find out the truth. Ziyi went to Fujian to find his father, which just gave him the opportunity."

"Three monks moved the Buddha statue privately?" Chiyi couldn't understand it even more.

"Jingzhi said that every time on the birthday of the Buddha, when the Dharma protector monks moved the Buddha statue and took out the Dharma Sutra, there were no relics in the space of the living bricks. It is conceivable that the three monks must have moved the Buddha statue privately before that. , first took out the relics and hid them elsewhere before daring to show the Dharma Sutra in front of the monks. I guess that on this day, the relics should have been hidden on Master Pu Nian. And the Buddha statue was moved privately to prevent it from screaming Ming, in addition to the silencing method of my Tianyi Sect, only two people with profound skills can attack the hollow of the Buddha statue with strong inner breath to resist and suppress it. The other person can move the Buddha statue without making any sound. There is no such skill in the world. And if you cooperate with the people who are inseparable, who can you give up on the three monks?"

Xue Yi explained carefully: "Think about it, the three monks do this every year, and they do it secretly. How could the people around the abbot not notice something strange? However, ordinary Dharma-protecting monks may not be clean. If someone has such ambition and arrogance, he may not necessarily show his intentions when he detects it. But if he encounters an intentional little thief, it's hard to say what will happen. I have told Jingzhi before that Sian Chay It’s really inappropriate for the temple to hide treasures like this.”

"Jingzhi was determined to find treasures, so he took advantage of Ziyi's silence and cover to move the Buddha statue away alone. He found that in addition to the Dharma scriptures, there were also Buddha relics hidden in the space of the living bricks, so he secretly took them out and hid them on himself? Bah? , this little bald thief dares to pretend to act in front of Tianyi Courtyard, he is really not an easy thief." Lan Yi realized.

Xue Yi nodded, clasped his palms together and said: "The original relic of the Buddha is said to have supreme power. If you wear it, you will live forever... How can a high-ranking monk covet this? But for a young monk who thinks highly of himself, it is tempting. Incomparable. It is human nature to be stubborn and greedy, but after he secretly hid the relics, he still tried to get away with it. He didn't know that my Tianyi Sect was so powerful. He left his senior fellow apprentices and dared to send it to me by himself. I guess he is planning to delay the time, causing the two masters of Pu Xing and Pu Neng to pass away and die, and the case will be dropped. Then don’t blame me for planning to capture him, Amitabh."

Lan Yi gave a rare smile and said softly: "Five days ago, when we heard you talking about the Five Spirits Temple, we all understood that you were suspicious of this young monk. At that time, although we didn't know what you were saying now. These are the foundations, but you ordered Qingyi to take him to Wuling Temple. Naturally, in addition to flying pigeons to pass the letter, you also need to check his truth. Ah, speaking of Qingyi, eldest sister, I will stay by Wuling Temple and capture the monk and come back here. Tsing Yi is still drinking tea with Teacher Tai in Wuling Temple. It’s really hard to blame Qing Yi for his clever tongue. After not having been with each other for so many years, he can still make Teacher Tai so happy, and he is willing to help us with anything. "

Xue Yi and Chi Yi looked at each other and smiled. They longed to see Qing Yi, who was walking freely in Yangzhou brothels, sitting with Teacher Wu Ling Guan. They looked at their noses and mouth, and looked at their mouths and hearts as they meditated. They compared each other. How surprising and interesting it should be?

A few days later, a purple shadow flew into Tianyi's courtyard and landed in front of Xueyi's window. Her graceful willow body bowed to Xueyi who was sitting in the room.
