Chapter 199 Contest (5)
Xie Fanghua paused.

Li Muqing woke up on the eaves.

The two looked at each other, Xie Fanghua made a decisive decision, ignored the low voices coming from inside, climbed up to the eaves, and came to Li Muqing's side.

Li Muqing waved to her, and walked towards the easternmost corner of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

Xie Fanghua followed closely behind him.

At this time, the door of the Sutra-Depository Pavilion suddenly opened, and an old monk with white beard and hair in a gray robe came out, his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked towards the roof, "Which friend came to the Sutra-Depository Pavilion tonight? Old Monk Blind before old age, but with good ears."

Li Muqing rubbed his forehead and asked Xie Fanghua silently, "What should I do? We were discovered? In the past, Master Puyun was not in charge of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, so it was easy for me to come in. Now that he is in charge of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, we are afraid Can't get in."

Xie Fanghua pursed her lips tightly and looked down. Master Puyun is naturally not an incompetent person. If he has no ability, he will naturally not be famous and respected by the world.Now it's not a matter of whether you can go in, but it has already been discovered, and it is not so easy to leave.What's more, since she came here before Li Shiwei tonight, how could she easily return without success?

Thinking of this, Xie Fanghua gritted her teeth suddenly, pulled out the rope from her arms, hooked the eaves, and she jumped down along the eaves.

Li Muqing was startled, and wanted to reach out to grab her, but when he had nothing to do, his gaze suddenly tightened.

In a blink of an eye, Xie Fanghua stood in front of Master Puyun and saluted him.

Master Puyun clasped his palms together and said "Amitabha". His old eyes looked at Xie Fanghua, "It turns out that she is a female benefactor. I don't know why the benefactor came late at night, so what's the matter?"

Xie Fanghua heard the approaching footsteps outside, but calmed down, and said to him, "Master, please forgive the little girl for offending me. I'm here to borrow a scripture."

"Oh? What scriptures?" Master Puyun looked at her.

"Nan Qin rejected the "Heart Sutra" transcribed by the master for 20 years!" Xie Fanghua said.

Master Puyun's complexion changed immediately when he heard the words.

Xie Fanghua looked at him, took a step forward suddenly, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Master, the Zhongyonghou's mansion is loyal or traitorous. As a monk, you must be the most clear about right and wrong. In addition, tonight the emperor sent If people come to pick up this scripture and hand it over to the emperor, then the lives of [-] monks in Fafo Temple will probably be handed over. Are you willing or not?"

Master Puyun's old eyes suddenly became black.

Xie Fanghua took another step closer, "It is said that monks have compassion and compassion for the world. Master, if you have the heart of a monk, you should know that if Nanqin did not have the surname Xie, a mountain of bones would be piled up." Luo, she said coldly, "Perhaps, the Fafo Temple, which is prosperous today, will become the mountain of bones where Xie's bones are buried in the future. Do you have the heart or can't bear it?"

Master Puyun did not speak.

"The reason why the Son of Heaven is afraid of the Xie family is nothing more than for the imperial power. The Xie family has never wanted the supreme imperial position. If he wanted it, he would have wanted it a long time ago. It will not be today, nor will it be in the future." Xie Fanghua's voice was desolate.

Master Puyun closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "The Zhongyonghou's Mansion doesn't want imperial power, but it doesn't mean that everyone in the Xie family doesn't want it. I can save the Zhongyonghou's mansion once, but I can't save the second time. Even if I save the Zhongyonghou After saving the Xie family, it is hard to guarantee that the Xie family will not turn back and restrict the imperial power, and then the blood will flow like a river, and the common people will suffer. Isn't it the same reason?"

Xie Fanghua's eyes narrowed, and she said solemnly, "As long as I live for a day, I can guarantee that no one from the Xie family will claim the imperial power."

"Who are you?" Master Puyun suddenly stared at Xie Fanghua's face and asked.

Xie Fanghua reached out and pulled his monk's robe, and wrote three words in front of him.

Master Puyun looked at these three words with surprise, looked up at Xie Fanghua again, his old eyes were full of disbelief.

Xie Fanghua calmly let him look at her.

Master Puyun looked at her for a moment, closed his eyes, and said, "It's God's will! Forget it! The scriptures you want are here with me, take them for you!" After saying that, he took out a scripture from his pocket, Handed it to her.

"Thank you, master!" Xie Fanghua received the scripture, opened it and took a look, only to see that it was the "Heart Sutra" that Nanqin refused to copy by the master for 20 years.Seeing that people outside were about to rush into the Sutra Pavilion, she didn't linger any longer, and climbed up to the eaves again along the rope. After that, she quickly retracted the rope, glanced at Li Muqing who was waiting, and said to her silently, "Walk!"

Li Muqing nodded.

In the blink of an eye, the two went out of the Sutra-Keeping Pavilion with several ups and downs.

As soon as the two left, the abbot of the Fafo Temple walked in with Li Shiwei.

Master Puyun stood at the door of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion as usual, dressed in a monk's robe, with the cold wind blowing, he had the spirit of a fairy and Buddha.

"Uncle Master, this is Li's bodyguard who is serving the emperor. He is here to pick up a scripture tonight at the emperor's order." The middle-aged monk came in and saluted Master Puyun, paused, and said, "It's Nanqin 20 Nian refused to copy the "Heart Sutra" that the master copied!"

"Master Puyun!" Guard Li cupped his hands.

Master Puyun nodded, put his palms together, said "Amitabha", and said to Li Shiwei, "If the emperor reads other scriptures, there are many in the Sutra Pavilion. Li Shiwei came here tonight, so you can take them away, but Only this scripture can't be taken away!"

Guard Li's complexion changed, and he immediately asked, "Why?"

Master Puyun sighed, "This scripture has been stolen at some point. The old man resigned from his post of presiding officer. After guarding the Sutra Pavilion, he looked through all the scriptures and found that this scripture had been stolen at some point."

Guard Li didn't quite believe what he said. He stared at Master Puyun and said sternly, "Although the Fafo Temple is a Buddhist monastery, the martial monks are extremely outstanding, not inferior to the martial arts of the imperial guards. The Zangjin Pavilion is also known as the The most important thing of Fafo Temple, can someone really steal it from the Buddhist scriptures pavilion?"

Master Puyun looked at Li Shiwei, and said in a deep voice, "Baimi also had a monk. Monks never tell lies. If Li Shiwei doesn't believe it, you can just go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to search, or you can search the entire Fafo Temple including the old monk. I searched all over my place of residence. In addition to the "Heart Sutra" that the master refused to copy in Nanqin for 20 years, two scriptures were also lost at the same time. One is the "Diamond Sutra" copied by Master Zang Pu in the previous dynasty, and the other is the The "Medicine Master Sutra" transcribed by my master Huanhai."

Guard Li's face gradually darkened.

The old eyes of the middle-aged host showed surprise, but in an instant, he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! My uncle never disclosed the theft, and even I didn't know that these three scriptures were lost. It was actually me, the host." fault."

Master Puyun said, "The loss of the scriptures has damaged the reputation of the Fafo Temple. After I found out, I was secretly investigating whether the disciples of my school were guarding against theft, so I didn't reveal a single word to the public. I don't want to find out the reason, the emperor said It is a sin to read this scripture!"
