Tang riddles

When the carriage of Shen Sui and his party arrived at the foot of Songshan Mountain, it was already noon on May [-]th.After Bai Hao led them down Shishi Mountain, he followed Shen Sui's order and flew into the mountains to find Shen Jin's whereabouts.Shen Sui saw a large number of horses at the foot of the mountain, and several soldiers stayed at the foot of the mountain to guard the horses.She stepped forward to ask a few words, and learned that Li Jinyue had brought a large army to Shaolin Temple last night.So she handed over her carriage to several soldiers to guard, and took Zhang Ruohan, Yingniang, Wuya, Blue Robin and Hutuo all the way up the mountain.

The people had been on the road for a day and two nights, barely closing their eyes, the carriage bumped all the way, their bodies were about to fall apart, they were already exhausted.But no one had a moment's rest, and if they didn't find Shen Jin back for a day, they wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well.

When Shen Sui and Zhang Ruohan went out, their clothes were disheveled and their hair was disheveled. They managed to tidy up their appearance in the carriage. Although their complexions were not good-looking, they could still be seen.Although Qin Nu was taken away, it didn't make them completely messed up, with their hair disheveled like lunatics.

Climbing a mountain is not an easy task, especially for a delicate woman like Zhang Ruohan, it can almost be said to be a kind of torture.Except for Zhang Ruohan, everyone else has a foundation in martial arts, and it is not a problem to climb up the mountain in one breath.So Shen Sui simply carried Zhang Ruohan on his back and strode ahead to lead the way, Hutuo and Blue Robin followed closely behind, Wuya and Yingniang were at the end.Tiao Niang has traveled many mountains and rivers, climbing mountains is not a problem for her, the problem is that she is not too young, but she climbs mountains with a few young people who are skilled in martial arts and eager to go. I can't catch my breath.Then Hutuo turned back, picked up the girl on his back, and the six of them supported each other and went up the mountain as fast as possible.Soon, they finally saw the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple.

The three characters "Shaolin Temple" on the plaque above the mountain gate are written by Emperor Taizong himself.And the pair of vermilion lacquer gates are opening at the moment, there is a hustle and bustle coming from inside, crowded with people, it is very lively.

Shen Sui put down Zhang Ruohan, Zhang Ruohan wiped the sweat from her forehead with his sleeve, and asked her softly:

"Tired?"

"Not tired." Shen Sui shook his head.

Behind them, Bluebird, Wuya, Hutuo and Yingniang all arrived, and they all arranged their appearance at the door, breathed steadily, and then stepped into the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple.

As soon as he entered the mountain gate, two monks guarding the mountain gate came forward to inquire about their intentions.Shen Sui revealed his identity and purpose, and the other party seemed to refuse no one who came, and led Shen Sui and others to the Daxiong Palace.

When they passed by the square in front of the hall, they saw densely packed soldiers gathered in the square, most of them were sitting on the ground and resting.They hurried through the crowd and stepped into the Daxiong Palace.The scent of incense immediately enveloped them, and the golden Buddha lowered his eyes and looked at the Three Thousand Worlds with pity.As soon as Zhang Ruohan entered the hall, he put his palms together and worshiped the Buddha.Shen Sui and others followed her in worshiping the Buddha.Don't worship the Buddha on weekdays, and only ask the Buddha for help when the situation is critical. This is probably a typical temporary cramming.I only hope that the Buddha will be merciful and let them find the qin slave intact.

In the west side hall of the Daxiong Palace, Li Jinyue and Huyan Zhuoma are sitting on the futons, and they are sitting and talking with four old monks in cassocks/cassocks.Seeing that Shen Sui and the others had arrived, Li Jinyue was very pleasantly surprised, hurriedly got up, stepped forward, grabbed Shen Sui's hand, and shook it vigorously.

"Bo Zhao, you're awake, what a pity."

Shen Sui bent the corners of his lips, and said: "If the price of my waking up is that the qin slave is taken away, then I really want to sleep for a while."

Seeing that she was still in the mood to joke, Li Jinyue knew that her mood was still stable, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Then, she saw Zhang Ruohan standing aside.This was the first time the two met after Zhang Ruohan got married.Li Jinyue pursed her lips, with a little embarrassment and self-mockery in her eyes, and nodded to Zhang Ruohan.Zhang Ruohan bowed back with a calm expression.

"Da Lang!" Huyan Zhuoma also approached, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Thank you, brother Huyan." Shen Sui raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

After saying hello, Shen Sui stepped forward to greet the four masters.The old monk headed by him is Zen Master Huijue, the abbot of the contemporary Shaolin Temple, and the great disciple of Zen Master Yijue, the former abbot master.It has been six years since Master Yiju passed away in the 11th year of Kaiyuan, and he took over the post of abbot and abbot.

Behind him are Zen Master Ruiguang, the first seat of Luohan Hall, Rui Tai, the first seat of Prajna Hall, and Rui Yong, the first seat of Bodhidharma Academy.Shaolin Temple introduces martial arts into Zen, and the head monks of the three major martial arts halls are all Zen masters with strong martial arts skills and profound Dharma.Luohan Hall and Prajna Hall specialize in boxing, palm and hand martial arts.The most special one is the Bodhidharma Academy, because it is in the same line as the ancestor Bodhidharma, Bodhidharma is famous all over the world for fingering flowers, so they specialize in fingering. The phrase "nianhuayixiao" is originally the profound meaning of Zen practice. The so-called preaching and receiving karma are all understood in the heart, and there is no need to pass them on in words.Bodhidharma turned Nianhua into martial arts fingering, which is the origin of Shaolin Nianhua Finger.

"Abbot and abbot, then the matter is settled like this. It's not too late. Let's take action now." After Shen Sui and the four masters met the ceremony, Li Jinyue said.

Zen Master Huijue nodded, and turned his head to look at the three head Zen masters behind him.

The three heads all clasped their palms together to salute, got up unhurriedly, and left the side hall.Zen Master Huijue invited everyone to sit down, poured tea and greeted each other. His indifferent attitude like the breeze and bright moon calmed down the anxiety in everyone's hearts.

Li Jinyue took a sip of tea and explained to Shen Sui:

"The abbot and the abbot have agreed to send monks and soldiers to help us find the group of secret spies. Long before we went up the mountain, a monk found a dozen horses in a cave at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, and reported to the abbot and the abbot. We knew that there were outsiders breaking into Songshan Mountain. When we arrived later, the abbot sent someone down to meet him. He guessed that most people would go to Shaolin Temple for help, but he didn’t expect that it was the Imperial Guard.”

"Oh? So do you have any clue about the whereabouts of that group of people?" Shen Sui asked.

"According to the monk's judgment, it should be going to Mount Taishi." Li Jinyue said, "It is inconvenient to ride a horse in this mountain. They have abandoned their horses and can only walk. They must not go far. The monks should be able to find out the trace soon. , I have ordered the generals of the four directions to lead troops to block Songshan, and they cannot escape."

"I hope so." Shen Sui sighed, she was extremely worried, but now, she can only rely on a large number of people to find Qin Nu.She had a bad feeling that this matter would not be resolved for a while.

Suddenly sensing the sight from the opposite side, Shen Sui frowned and looked, and saw Zen Master Huijue, the abbot, looking at him with a smile.Shen Sui was puzzled, but Zen Master Huijue didn't intend to speak out, so Shen Sui could only smile back.

"This layman." Zen Master Huijue turned his gaze to Zhang Ruohan who was beside Shen Sui. He saw through Zhang Ruohan's identity as a layman at a glance. Zhang Ruohan immediately put his palms together and listened to the master's words.

"You have to take care of your body. In the future, if you are not in good health, you will have to suffer." Zen Master Huijue said.

Zhang Ruohan raised her eyebrows, showing surprise.But she didn't ask too much, just bowed back and said, "Thank you for reminding me, master."

Li Jinyue looked puzzled, but at this moment, a messenger hurried in and said:

"Report! We found something!"

***

A burst of severe pain awakened Shen Jin from the darkness, she only felt that her brain was being torn apart, and the light in front of her eyes annoyed her.He couldn't help but raised his hand and pressed his temple.

After the headache, her first feeling was the burning pain in her throat.This feeling is extremely painful and very familiar, as if a desert traveler has been without water for several days, and there are fireworks in his throat. After the fire 17 years ago, and after she launched her first bird call a few years ago, the feeling would haunt her for months.

Then, she heard the subdued but emotional quarrel of two men.One of them was the prince's voice, but the other voice sounded extraordinarily deep, even a little sinister.She also had an impression of this voice, before she fainted, she seemed to have heard this voice and beckoned her subordinates to take her away.

"Who the hell are you? This is totally different from what you said!" This was the voice of the prince.

"Agreed? Do you really think we have a deal with you? Li Hong, you are hopelessly stupid." The deep voice sarcastically mocked.

This person actually called the prince by his name, Shen Jin was a little startled.

"No, no, why did Goro and Hachiro ask you to do something? It's not right, it's a conspiracy!" The prince seemed to be a bit disbelieving in reality, and kept mumbling.

"Of course this is a conspiracy! Your Royal Highness, you want to play a play with King E and King Guang who support you, so as to win the favor of your father, our great Tang Dynasty. I'm not wrong. You wanted to design It's a good show of wits fighting against Jiacang spies, so that you can make great achievements, gain the trust of His Majesty more and more, take advantage of the opportunity to take out soldiers Heshuo, make military achievements, and gain a firm foothold in the East Palace. You bought He Lan Yixiong, let him arrange everything for you. But do you know that this is a trick, a trick, and you fell into it very early. Besides, Your Highness, I kindly remind you that you have already reacted a few days ago You came here to fall for the trick, that day you filled the pond in your backyard overnight, and you wanted to send someone to kill Helan Yixiong. But what you didn't expect was that you had already been poisoned by chronic poison, red-tailed lizard, have you heard of it, very It's easy to cause people to have hallucinations. Do you still remember the bright-eyed, white-toothed, extremely handsome little servant in your East Palace who was carried to the bed by you? His name is Tong Liu'er. The taste is very ecstasy. Tsk tsk, do you think your memory is a little messed up? gone?"

"Uh..." Shen Jin heard the prince moaning in pain.

"This idea... this idea came from Goro, could it be that Goro him!" the prince gritted his teeth.

"You are right, Your Royal Highness. Last year, King E was hit by a boulder on his way to the garden and was in critical condition. He almost died. This incident was arranged by our people. After that, he fell into a coma, and his mother Huangfude Yi Bian visited famous doctors and wanted to heal his son's injuries, so the chances of him going in and out of the mansion were greatly increased. It just so happened that there were also famous doctors among our people, and they recovered and healed King E's injuries. But sorry, we can't Healing people empty-handed, giving a little medicine, and asking His Excellency King E to do something for us is also a due reward."

"you!"

"The people in Hanjiacang, we have inserted them in a few years ago. Even Helan Yixiong didn't know about this matter. He thought he was really someone, and became lawless. Your Highness, don't you You know, Helan Yixiong is doing one thing in front of you, one thing behind you, double-dealing. He is still a member of Concubine Wu Hui, and Concubine Wu Hui knows all about your plot. She is just waiting to see your good show. Look at your choice Good man, if you find this kind of person to do things for you, you are not afraid to shoot yourself in the foot. If you want us to wipe your ass, it is more than enough to succeed. How corrupted is this huge empire!"

The prince was out of breath, and Shen Jin even heard a vibrato, and he seemed to be trembling with anger.

"His Royal Highness, do you really think that your father will change the position of the East Palace? You are really stupid. Even an outsider like me can see how much His Majesty the Emperor wants you to become a talent. His eldest son Disfigured and crippled, you can no longer take the throne. As the second son, you are the most natural candidate. But he knows that since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has been extremely cruel, and even the eldest son may be pulled down, not to mention you are such an incompetent The second son of a concubine. You are surrounded by covetous brothers. Who doesn't expect you to step down as soon as possible, so that they can take over? But your father doesn't want to kill each other. What he wants is a powerful heir who can inherit his throne. He To hone you, to support Concubine Wu Hui and King Shou to oppose you, is to see your growth and progress. Do you really think he can’t see the narrow-mindedness you play? This time, you are going to interrogate the prisoners in Hanjiacang , he pampered you again. Seeing that you looked confident, he really believed that you could make some achievements this time. Why don’t you know how to be grateful? The sins you made, no matter how painful or painful, you have to Swallow it. If you're still a boy, don't act like a coward in front of me, it's disgusting!"

Shen Jin heard a sob.

"Hmph, what a pity, what a pity, you have completely let your father down this time."

"You...you are useless to threaten my father with me! The Great Tang Dynasty is more important to him than anything else. When it is time to give up, he will never be soft." The prince said through gritted teeth.

"Threatening you? You're wrong. We took you away and didn't plan to threaten anyone with you." After the man said this, he stopped talking. He ordered someone to drag the prince down, but Shen Jin only heard the prince There were angry roars and dragging and struggling sounds, and after a while, everything fell silent.

Shen Jin lay on the spot silently, feeling an extremely sad emotion welling up in his heart.

Is there really no successor to the Great Tang Dynasty?

At this time, a voice, as thin as a mosquito's hum, penetrated into her ears:

"Erlang, are you awake?"

Shen Jin was shocked and opened her eyes, only to realize that she was lying on the ground with someone's leg on her head, in a cave.And the person who was lying on her pillow and calling her softly was Qianhe.

Shen Jin's body trembled slightly.

The author has something to say: the prince was hypnotized, and his interrogation in Hanjiacang was decided under hypnosis.What's really stupid about him is that he can't see through his father's mind.Because of this, the enemy has gaps to exploit.

Nianhuayixiao comes from Buddhist allusions.It is said that one day the Buddha started a class, and many disciples gathered to listen to the teachings.However, the Buddha did not speak for a long time, but just twirled a flower in his hand, as if thinking about it.The rest of the disciples were puzzled, and only Venerable Kassapa next to the Buddha smiled knowingly.Such strange feelings and strange shapes are like the Buddha holding flowers.Later generations describe the realm of comprehension without words.This is also the way of teaching Zen Buddhism. It does not need to be taught in words, nor recorded in books. It is only for the disciples to experience it for themselves. 【That scene is very romantic】
