Chapter 99 The Last Retribution
Early the next morning, Li Yan went to work at the Imperial Guard.

Seeing that Mrs. Ye's arrest did not appear in the internal guard's record at all, he knew that the two saints had secretly reached a tacit agreement.

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are both political figures, and such people have a common political stand, so it is impossible to break up at this stage.

Li Yan was a little curious, did Li Zhi, who was seen through in private, give in, or did Empress Wu still swallow her anger even after knowing the truth?
"In any case, Wu Minzhi will definitely have a good life in a few days, and the grievances between Yang's father and daughter will be cleared."

"Prince, my assist is here!"

Although it is not perfect, this case should be over.

Li Yan withdrew his gaze from Daming Palace, and walked towards the training ground.

The inner guard's resident is rapidly expanding, or in other words, returning to its former prosperity, with more and more complete facilities.

In the past few days, he has seen many fifth-rank officials come in and out, and there must be someone who is suitable for him.

Li Yan looked a little envious, but seeing that they were at least in their early forties, he felt relieved.

Practice!Practice!
Will be full bow!Shoot Sirius!
While practicing the secret trick repeatedly, Qiu Shenji appeared on the sidelines and waved repeatedly: "Liulang! Liulang!"

Li Yan said: "Brother Qiu, good morning!"

Qiu Shenji saw that his demeanor was as usual, and he didn't care about what happened yesterday, so he hurriedly said: "Oh, why is Liu Lang so polite all the time, why don't you just call me Shenji!"

"God what?"

Li Yan laughed in his heart, Qiu Shenji was almost thirty, and he was Qiu Ying's nephew again, so it was normal to call him brother.

Now that Qiu Shenji took the initiative to ask for a change of title, to match it with words, he really wanted to hug Li Yan's thigh tightly.

Seeing this guy's pleading face, Li Yan didn't hesitate, nodded and said: "With our friendship, whenever there is a need in the future, I will definitely think of you first!"

Qiu Shenji laughed heartily: "Haha, with Liu Lang's words, I feel relieved!"

He said relaxedly: "Liulang, tomorrow is Mrs. Rongguo's seventh birthday. I just heard the official from the Ministry of Rites say that the Buddha statues will be held in the street and praying for Mrs. Rongguo, and they will also be held together."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, thinking of the huge silhouette he saw when he went to work in the imperial city on the first day: "Is that the huge empty statue?"

Qiu Shenji showed the devotion of leeks: "Yes, clean food and release animals, solemnly decorate the dharma objects, and make offerings to the Buddhas. It will be a grand ceremony. I hope the Buddha will bless me, so that I can get rid of bad luck and turn bad luck into good fortune..."

Li Yan held back his laughter, but soon he was notified that they would also participate as guards.

A normal Buddhist Dharma assembly consists of fasting, offering food, preaching the Dharma, and praising Buddha's virtues.

Mrs. Rongguo's seven-year-old funeral was even more grand, and there were also activities such as walking the streets with Buddha statues, lighting lanterns, and so on.

The full seven is seven or seven forty-nine days. From the first seven, a spiritual seat is set up, crying and worshiping every day, offering sacrifices in the morning and evening, doing a grand Buddhist service every seven days, setting up fasts and offering sacrifices, and stopping on the seventh and seventh days.

This custom, including the first seven that is often said in later generations, has a concept that was born out of Buddhist scriptures during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Generally speaking, after a person dies, he will seek reincarnation in the underworld. Every seven days is a period. If one period is not found, another period can be renewed. At the end of the seventh seven days, the bottom line will be guaranteed. , will definitely get the chance of reincarnation.

Therefore, people in the yang world, during the seventy-seven forty-nine days of the deceased, must also hold the ritual of offering sacrifices every seven days, and the yin and yang realms cooperate.

But this transcendence is also very particular, because there is a choice of good or bad reincarnation.

If you do a lot of Buddhist deeds, you will be reincarnated as a good family, and if you do less, you will be a poor family.

And if a person committed a lot of evil during his lifetime, according to the theory of Buddhism, he will be treated as an animal in the next life, but in the seven or seven periods after his death, he can ask his filial relatives and friends to do Buddhist deeds for him, so that he can hear monks chanting scriptures, If you repent at the moment and make up your mind to do good, you can avoid being a beast and be reborn as a human.

Look, how merciful my Buddha is to be able to put down the butcher's knife after death.

This kind of ritual is very bad in the eyes of Confucianism, but due to the great prosperity of Buddhism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it gradually became unstoppable, and it has become a habit now.

In order to show filial piety, the funeral of the members of the royal family is even more grand.

As a result, Li Yan and the others were soon arrested and wanted to participate in the guards of the ceremony.

"Oh, interrupting my practice again..."

Qiu Shenji was delighted to be able to admire the Buddha statue up close, but Li Yan hated this kind of behavior that disturbed his paid practice.

The inner guard has been working for more than half a month, and the first official task he got was to be a security guard for the Buddhist Fa Conference, which is outrageous.

But there was no way, it was impossible to shirk this kind of thing, and soon Qiu Ying also came and officially announced the mission.

Li Yan followed the large army to get new work clothes together, and soon left the imperial city, marching on the main streets, simulating tomorrow's route.

When passing Taipingfang, Li Yan subconsciously looked at Zhou Guogong's mansion.

Historically, when Mrs. Rongguo was buried, the warriors gave gifts to the Taiwei, Prince Taishi, Taiyuan County King, and Mrs. Rongguo presented the Taiyuan Princess.

After the coffin was released, all Beijing officials and their wives were sent to Chang'an Bridge together.

It was quite a spectacle.

Now there is no posthumous seal, just praying for blessings at the ceremony, which inevitably feels like a hasty effort.

Li Yan understood that this was because he was afraid that Wu Min's case would involve more past events, so Empress Wu would hurriedly bury Mrs. Rong Guo to ensure her dignity.

"That old woman did a lot of evil, but she was able to be buried in a grand manner. It's really cheap for her!"

……

Li Yan rode his horse past, but he didn't know that Wu Minzhi was trembling all over in the inner house separated by several walls, with seven silver needles stuck in his body, and a monk stood in front of him.

Kumara was concentrating on performing acupuncture on the patient, and the maid who had been monitoring Wu Minzhi passed out long ago.

No one would have thought that this Tubo monk would dare to return to his residence.

Kumara himself didn't expect that he would come back.

In fact, if he had left Chang'an at that time, Kumara would have left too.

Datang is too dangerous, he wants to return to Tubo.

But later, Kumara was injured by Ming Chongyan, and after hiding to heal his wounds, he felt more and more unable to let go.

Yin demons breed, distracting thoughts are hard to get rid of.

The Little King Ming found that once such a person fled back to Tibet, it would be difficult to improve his cultivation in the future.

Therefore, even if it was very dangerous, he resolutely dived back.

The guards of the imperial guards in the front yard of Zhou Guogong's mansion are very lax and have many loopholes.

When he was in Shaoyang Courtyard, Li Yan commented that this group of people was just dawdling, they were so passive when they were in the uterus, and it was impossible to be strict when they were in Zhou Guogong's mansion.

But after Kumara became vigilant, he found that there were many masters secretly watching this place from afar.

Just as he was thinking about how to sneak in, just this morning, most of the masters hiding in the dark suddenly withdrew, leaving only a few people.

Kumara seized this opportunity, sneaked into the backyard, and treated Wu Minzhi for the second time.

This time, Kumara used Ming Wang Jin and acupuncture pharmacology at the same time, using two prongs.

But it doesn't work.

Because these days, Wu Minzhi has been fed with so many medicines that normal people are turned into fools, not to mention that he is not normal in the first place.

After trying several times, Kumara couldn't communicate normally, so he could only shake his head and prepare to leave.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, Wu Minzhi's hands tightly held onto his monk's robe again, steadfastly refusing to let go.

Kumara looked at him, and took out seven long needles: "Benefactor, my Dalun Temple has a secret method, pricking blood with seven needles, to stimulate the human body's instincts, if you want to restore your sanity for a short time, you can only use this method!"

After all, he also knew that Wu Minzhi would not answer, so he directly pricked the needle.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a man with gray hair and wrinkled face appeared in front of him.

Wu Minzhi seemed to be twenty years older, his speech was still slurred, but his eyes were no longer blank, and he said intermittently: "It's you...you..."

Kumara said: "The benefactor does not believe in medical principles. If he treats with acupuncture at the beginning, he will not end up insane. The poor monk should not believe in the power of King Ming Jin. After all, he will be ashamed. What is the benefactor's wish? If it can be done, it will definitely help you to complete it!"

Wu Minzhi's lips trembled: "Tell them... I'm cured... I'm cured..."

Kumara shook his head: "The benefactor doesn't have to think about it anymore. When you were insane, you told all the evil things in the past."

Deep despair appeared on Wu Minzhi's face: "Did I really... say it?"

There is nothing more hopeless than being insane and coming back to normal, knowing what you did when you were insane.

Kumara clasped his hands together: "My Buddha is merciful. Don't do any evil, and do all good things. Donors should think about it. For those who love each other, if you want to leave any last words, the poor monk will definitely bring them!"

"Love each other... love each other..."

Wu Minzhi shook his head: "In my whole life, I have no relatives or love...the only person who will protect me is grandma...only grandma...heh..."

His speech gradually became fluent, and he showed flattery: "Master, can you take me out? Take me as far away as possible, even to Tubo!"

Kumara shook his head: "The poor monk can come here because the blessing ceremony will be held in an expensive place, and the manpower will be transferred away. It is absolutely impossible to take the benefactor away, and the body of the benefactor will be pricked with seven needles. There is not much time left. You don’t have to think about the future.”

He didn't know that the internal guards of Plum Blossoms were withdrawn because the two saints had reached an internal reconciliation, and he thought it was because of the outside meeting that the staff were transferred.

Wu Minzhi also didn't know the mystery, and after asking, he became emotional and showed ferocity: "Buddha statues walking in the street? Prayer ceremony? The glory of the old man after death is much better than mine. After I die, I am afraid that I will be notorious forever." Will it be in the history books?"

He gritted his teeth with hatred: "My sins will be paid for, so what about the sins that were imposed on me?"

Kumara was silent for a moment, and was about to leave: "The benefactor has no wishes, and the poor monk bids farewell!"

Wu Minzhi stretched out his hand to grab his monk's robe: "Master, wait a minute, I have a wish, I want to announce the truth of the past to the world!"

Kumara said: "It's not that the poor monk doesn't want to help the almsgiver, the poor monk can't do anything."

"Of course not directly declaring that the mean and ungrateful couple only want power and not the truth, and I just don't like what they want!"

Wu Minzhi laughed hysterically: "Master, you just need to send me to a place that no one can think of. By the way, bring some thread..."

After he finished telling what he was going to do, he stared at Kumara: "Master, you Buddhists pay attention to the cause and effect of good and evil, do you dare to fulfill this last wish for me?"

Kumara was shocked.

This kind of thing is crazy.

But thinking of what I saw when I came to Datang.

The Buddha does not cross people, but only seeks to survive.

Kumara finally clasped his hands together:
"Amitabha, when you meet by fate, you will receive the retribution yourself, perhaps it should be like this!"
