Chapter 109 Buddha, please protect your little fox (21)
"I think it's a close call. When Daliang was peaceful, the emperor confiscated General Ye's military power. Now that something's wrong, he sends General Ye again. General Ye is like a brick, he can be moved wherever he's needed."
At this point, his voice softened.
"Keep your voice down! How dare you make up stories about His Majesty? You've got enough heads to chop off!"
Chen Yuan picked up the cloth bag containing pastries and stood up quickly.
"Wangzai, let's go, the critical moment is coming!"
*
Putuo Temple
Princess Chaoyang was tied up by people sent by the emperor and taken to apologize to Jingchen.
Outside the quiet and remote Zen room, a large number of soldiers gathered in several rows, with neat formations and serious expressions.
They were unarmed and had no swords.
In Putuo Temple, people are forbidden to make noise, verbal fights, or show off, and they are also prohibited from carrying weapons to avoid bringing disasters such as bloodshed.
These commandments must not be broken at any time.
"Be gentle! It hurts me!"
"If you touch me again, I'll have my father chop off your heads!"
The sergeant in the lead had no intention of showing any mercy to the beautiful woman. He pressed Chaoyang's jade arm and said lightly:
"Princess, please don't embarrass us. It was the emperor's order to tie you up and apologize to the Buddha."
Chaoyang was pressed upside down, biting his lower lip in anger, feeling completely ashamed.
A soldier stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door of the Zen room.
"Buddha Jingchen, we have brought Princess Chaoyang here to apologize to you."
It was silent inside and no one answered, but Chaoyang knew that Jingchen was inside at the moment.
Ever since she said she wanted to skin the fox to make a cloak, Jingchen became angry and never left the meditation room again.
Such an inhuman beast actually deserves his care!
"Jingchen! I know you are in there! Why don't you come out!"
Chaoyang shouted loudly, trying to attract Jingchen's attention with his sharp voice.
Isn't this a messy enough situation?
The sergeant took out a handkerchief from his pocket and stuffed it directly into Chaoyang's mouth, blocking her from saying anything else.
“Mmmmm!”
Chaoyang stammered and twisted his body to struggle, but was restrained by the sergeant.
"Princess, if you embarrass us again, don't blame me for being violent."
After saying that, he began to exert force with his palm, leaving a red mark directly on Chaoyang's fair arm.
Chaoyang was frightened by his cold eyes, and shrank his neck, not daring to act like a demon again.
Sergeant Sergeant had fought on the battlefield, his hands were stained with blood, and his father was angry and gave an order, and he would definitely not show mercy to her men.
Although Chaoyang is extreme, he is not a brainless person.
She looked away angrily and stopped struggling.
The soldier continued to knock on the door, but received no response from the person inside.
The sergeant looked at the person beside him and let go of Chaoyang.
"You keep an eye on him, I'll do it."
He walked forward, took off his armor, and knocked lightly on the bamboo door.
"Buddha Jingchen, I am the sergeant in charge of this group of soldiers. I apologize for disturbing your peace. Princess Chaoyang has displeased you, and His Majesty is furious. He has specially ordered us to apologize to you. Could you please open the door first?"
Finally, a slight sound was heard in the house, the sound of shuffling papers.
"You don't have to apologize to me. I have nothing to do with the Daliang Dynasty anymore."
That day, Princess Chaoyang forced him to marry. People said that the Emperor of Daliang was incompetent and even wanted to use violence to force him to agree. He had already given up on this dynasty.
Daliang, the day of destruction is near.
Seeing that Jingchen Buddhist disciple was willing to pay attention to him, Wu Chang's eyes lit up and he could not hide his excitement.
He was a smart man and accurately grasped what Jingchen Buddhist disciple cared about.
"But, Buddhist, you don't know that just now, Daliang was hit by floods and plague in all directions, and the borders were lost, resulting in countless casualties."
"You are compassionate, saving people from suffering and saving the world. You would not want to see the tragic scene of people's families being torn apart and their loved ones being killed, right?"
With compassion, we save the suffering and enlighten the world...
The weight of these three words was so heavy that it directly pressed him down on the high seat, with the lives of thousands of people hanging on his shoulders.
ridiculous.
He saved the world, but who can save him?
"No need to say more. What happens to the world has nothing to do with me."
Inside the room, Jingchen sat upright in front of the desk, wearing a plain dress and with disheveled black hair.
His expression was somewhat sad, and his thin lips, which were already bloodless, were now even paler.
On the mattress beside him, there was a cassock outlining with gold thread.
This cassock is the one Jingchen wears when he recites morning sutras and performs rituals.
Just now, Jingchen took off his robes with his own hands.
He...is no longer worthy of being a Buddha.
The Buddha's heart was shattered, and a little fox named Shen Yuan broke in.
It was in vain that he was so compassionate, but he couldn't control his rage because of Princess Chaoyang's words that blasphemed the little fox.
He is the culprit who caused the displacement of the people and the suffering of all lives...
How can such a madman take on the responsibility of saving the world and be worthy of being called a Buddhist?
Outside the house, Captain Wu was so shocked by Jingchen's cold words that his whole body froze.
What did he hear?
The Buddhist disciple Jingchen no longer has any compassion for the suffering of the common people? Princess Chaoyang has actually pushed him to this point!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel ironic and desperate.
But how could Captain Wu know that Jingchen's sudden change was not because Princess Chaoyang's possessive love made him angry.
It was because of what Chaoyang said with the intention of killing the little fox.
Just that one sentence shattered Jingchen's Buddhist heart and released all his emotions.
Jingchen just realized that his dirty thoughts about the little fox had reached such a terrifying level.
She wouldn't allow anyone else to insult her in the slightest.
No matter how the soldiers pleaded, Jingchen never opened his mouth again.
The sergeant couldn't find a solution for a moment, so he had to take Princess Chaoyang back and leave it to the emperor to decide.
When they were going down the mountain, the group happened to meet Ye Ranqing.
She no longer wore the eye-catching maroon dress, but instead wore plain white with light makeup.
She carried a basket filled with sandalwood, flowers and silver for incense money.
Compared with her, Chaoyang, with a handkerchief in his mouth and his hands tied with hemp rope, looked extremely embarrassed.
Chaoyang lowered his head, afraid that if he looked up he would meet Ye Ranqing's mocking gaze.
She must be very proud and happy, as she finally won against herself.
Chaoyang was wrong after all.
Ye Ranqing didn't even look at her. He just looked at the narrow path in front of him and the exposed corner of Putuo Temple with a serious and solemn expression.
She had never been a big believer in Buddhism, but eventually she became an ordinary pilgrim to Putuo Temple.
The two of them separated at the fork in the road and walked further and further away.
One person is ready to return to the court to accept his father's wrath and punishment.
Another person walked to Putuo Temple to pray for his father's safety.
