Chapter 418 The Six Paths
An hour later, the "support" that Xing Pengyue mentioned arrived at Fusi, Xingzhou Township.

There are three people,

Gongsun Changyi, deputy commander of the Zhenfu Division guarding Luoyang,
Xiong Tuohai, the master of Haotian Taoist Temple in Luoyang,
And monk Jianquan, the abbot of Zen Buddhism in Tiantai Mountain.

Li Ang stood in the corner and observed the three of them,

Gongsun Changyi has a fleshy face, big shoulders and round waist, and jade wrenches on both thumbs.

Xiong Tuohai has a tall and straight body, with two long swords on his waist.

As for the Jianquan monk, whom Li Ang had heard of for a long time, he was thin and dark-skinned, more like an old farmer than an eminent monk.

But Li Ang didn't despise the other party because of his appearance,
Monk Jianquan became famous 30 years ago. He is monk Zhuxiao and the leader of Zen in Yu Kingdom. The emperor sent envoys to Mount Wutai many times to invite him to give lectures on Zen in Daming Palace.He politely declined all of them.

'I feel that the breath is deeper than that of the abbot and abbot in the Jialan sect. '

Li Ang silently evaluated the strength of Jianquan monk, "However, is there a disorder in breathing?This should not be the case for Brother Candle Xiao. Could it be that he was injured recently? '

"Namo Amitabha."

Jianquan monk recited the Buddha's name, closed his eyes, and covered the white cloth on the body of the temple master again.

Xing Pengyue asked in a deep voice, "Master, is there any explanation for this method of committing the crime?"

"."

Monk Jianquan was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "It is indeed the repentance sutra of the Tantric School of Tiantai Mountain, but it was not written by the monks of Tiantai Mountain."

Gongsun Changyi, deputy commander of the Zhen Fu Division, asked, "Is that him?"

"Yes."

Monk Jianquan nodded.

The conversation between the two confused others. Xiong Tuohai, the master of Haotian Taoist Temple in Luoyang, explained: "Master Jianquan was assassinated two days ago while traveling in Bianzhou. The one who attacked him was a demon with half of his head replaced by gold. monk."

Half head?

Li Ang paused in his heart, and instantly thought of the Jingnianzong Shi Xingseng who escaped from the deep underground of Chang'an Ghost City three years ago.

"He called himself Harvard and claimed that he had an opportunity for me."

Seng Jianquan said peacefully: "I saw his face was familiar. I asked him if he was the monk Shi Xing who died 70 years ago. He played a Zen trick and didn't answer. Instead, he asked me if I would help him become a Buddha. .”

Monk Jianquan smiled gently, and said, "I didn't mean to send him back to the west, but he said that he had an ancient esoteric method from Tianzhu thousands of years ago, called the Six Paths of Liberation Sutra.

Just according to the specific rules, the six people who represent the hungry ghost, animal, asura, heaven, hell, and human in the six reincarnations are divided,
You can reach the realm of Nirvana.Clear mind and see nature, completely cut off all troubles, prove immortality, transcend life and death. "

Nirvana and Nirvana in Zen do not just refer to death,
Only when all virtues are perfected before death, all evils are eliminated, and the state of the true mind is achieved, can the two words Nirvana and Nirvana be used after death.Since then, I have completely liberated myself and reached a higher level.

"The paper of the Six Paths of Liberation Sutra in his hand is brand new, obviously newly made paper. The handwriting on it is crooked and full of omissions, obviously written by himself insane."

Monk Jianquan said: "Of course I can't listen to his lies and wild words. Since he is a senior Zen master, I asked him to sit quietly and debate the scriptures with me, hoping to bring him back to peace.

But he attacked me and fled away after being wounded by me. "

The old monk slightly opened the right cuff, revealing the long scar stretching over his arm.
Strangely, an amber scab had formed on the surface of the scar.

'It's amazing, is the color of this scab also a special effect of Zen practice? '

Li Ang suppressed his curiosity and continued to listen, thinking about whether to tell the information about Shi Xingseng.

"I found Commander Gongsun to explain the matter, and then I lived in Luoyang to recuperate.

It's just that he didn't expect that his so-called degree of transformation turned out to be killing, and the thing would happen so quickly, and the location was not in Bianzhou. "

Seng Jianquan put down his cuffs and said: "Seng Xing, or the existence that used to be Seng Shi, still retains the strength of his life, which is extremely dangerous.

And according to him, he wanted to kill at least two people. "

"In order to pursue the desire of tongue and mouth, Gao Fuyun, who uses a throat duster, represents the realm of hungry ghosts,

Huang Yusan, who has a bad character and enjoys cruelty to animals, represents the animal way.

The woman who murdered innocent children and killed her husband represents the Shura Way.

The master of Haotian Taoist Temple represents the way of heaven. "

Xing Pengyue murmured, "In other words, the next victim chosen by Shi Xingseng represents the realm of hell and the realm of humanity in his eyes."

"Hell Road is likely to be a treacherous criminal, can there be such a candidate in the city's prison?"

Jianquan monk asked: "As for the human world, who is the most honorable person in the city?"

Li Leling!
Sui Yi's heart beat slowly, and subconsciously pushed the door open,

But they saw Li Leling, Ji Linglang and others still chatting with the windows open in the room opposite the courtyard.

"Commander Xiong, Colonel Xing, I need to send the students out of Xingzhou immediately."

Sui Yi immediately turned to Xiong Tuohai and said, "Please send me a team of guards."

"Don't be so nervous now. There's still time to go on the spiritual locomotive."

Seng Jianquan said: "In the fabricated Sutra of the Six Paths of Liberation, Seng Shi Xing marked the time of each saving in detail. There is still about an hour before the next saving."

"Then I'm going to evacuate the people in the city, and have the prisoner with the worst crimes singled out. Use him as bait."

Xing Pengyue breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to walk out of the morgue to issue an order, but Xiong Tuohai raised his hand to stop him.

"Can't evacuate,"

Xiong Tuohai expressionless, stroked the jade ring on his thumb and said: "We are in the city, and we have set up defenses around the prisoners."

"This"

Xing Pengyue's face froze. Seng Jianquan just said that Shi Xingseng still retains his strength in life. How many casualties will be caused if a monk at the Candle Sky Realm wreaks havoc in the city?

"It must be so."

Xiong Tuohai sighed quietly, "First of all, if the evacuation is ordered, the Jianquan monk will notice the abnormality and flee away. Then the killings will be carried out in other state capitals. The deaths of the first few dead are meaningless.

Secondly, if the evacuation is ordered and all the people go outside the city, you can't guarantee the real candidate for hell, they must be prisoners in the prison.Evacuation will do little good, but will distract us from our defenses. "

The nobles can leave, but the common people in the city cannot?
Xing Pengyue, who was born and bred in Xingzhou, had a stiff expression, but he couldn't refute the officer - because this was indeed the most rational approach after weighing the pros and cons, and most in line with the Zhenfu Department's usual style.

"I'm staying too."

Li Ang said suddenly: "Since Shi Xingseng will regard the most honored person as a candidate for the human way, then I, who has the highest title in the city, should also be used as the second bait."
