Chapter 271: Old Abbot
Lin Shan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, to be the host of this Ling Shan Temple, it must also be an extraordinary person.
Master Yuankong, an old monk with a long reputation, in this Central Plains area, there are few people who don't know Master Yuankong, but there are not many who don't know what Master Yuankong is called. Wang Changhe, an ordinary name, no one could have thought that this person was the presiding officer of the Lingshan Temple, Master Yuankong.
At this time, Master Yuankong, who had never asked about the world, left his Wuxin Pavilion, while his junior brothers Yuanku and Yuanjue accompanied him. When it was almost noon, a group of people in gray robes came to Lingshan Temple, this group of people looked very different, they did not burn incense and did not worship Buddha, they went straight around the Daxiong Treasure Hall and came to the backyard. The two people in the lead are also very eccentric, not to mention that they are handsome and extraordinary, but they also look exactly the same, the pilgrims stopped and muttered, and they don't know which family in Luoyang has such a blessing at this time, this handsome twin son is not something that can be easily asked.
After seeing the two handsome sons who were exactly the same, Master Yuankong, who had always looked calm, also felt a little happy, he clasped his hands together and preached with reverence, "Amitabha, Buddha bless!" ”
"Wen Qi visited the abbot master, I haven't seen him for nearly twenty years, is the master in good health?" Of course, the handsome son was dressed up by the Wen sisters, and when they came to Lingshan Temple this time, they didn't want to make too much noise. Wen Qi still respects Master Yuankong, and his father Wen Lu also respected this master very much.
"The old man is just a skin, and he will be born, old, sick and die, but now the Buddha has not been summoned, and the old man can only continue to stay in this red dust!" Seeing the daughter of the deceased, Master Yuankong also had a rare look of joy, he pronounced the Buddha's name, and said to the two masters of Yuankue Yuanjue, "Two junior brothers, I want to talk about something with these two female donors, if there is nothing important, don't come to me!" ”
"Obey the abbot's teachings!" Round bitterness and round consciousness at the same time.
"Two female donors, please come with the old man!" Master Yuankong then slowly walked to the Wuxin Pavilion alone, and the Wen family sisters glanced at each other, then nodded and followed, as for Qin Hu, he consciously arranged it and collected the entire Wuxin Pavilion tightly.
Wuxin Pavilion is actually an ordinary meditation room, and the name Yuankong gave it mainly to remind himself to study Buddhism at all times, and there is nothing else to pay attention to. The furnishings of the meditation room are very simple, except for a few futons, it is a low small table, and there is a stick of incense on the table, and the cigarette curls up, which makes people unconsciously settle down.
Sitting opposite, Wen Qi and Wen Luo didn't speak first, but Master Yuankong smiled kindly, "You two sisters, you must have come to Lingshan Temple today for the treasure, right?" ”
"Yes, please tell the master the truth, our sisters should be grateful!" Wen Qi said and pulled Wen Luo to bow to Master Yuankong, and Master Yuankong hurriedly stopped, "Child, get up, the old man will say it, after so many years, these secrets should also be made public!" ”
Seeing Master Yuankong like this, Wen Qi said respectfully, "Master Xie is considerate!" ”
"Hey, let's start from the beginning, girl, do you know the name of the old man?"
Wen Qi and Wen Luo were strange at the same time, Wen Qi thought about it and smiled, "Why did the master ask this question, of course Qi'er knew, the master was called Wang Changhe before he became a monk, didn't he?" ”
"Hehe, yes and no!" Master Yuankong smiled and shook his head, his words made the Wen family sisters more and more confused, what do you mean yes and no? Fortunately, Master Yuankong did not make the Wen family sisters curious for too long, and he said with a little nostalgia, "You know Wang Changhe, do you know Wang Shiyan?" ”
"Wang Shiyan, how could it be?" Wen Qi's face showed disbelief, Master Yuankong's words were too unexpected, maybe Wen Luo didn't know who Wang Shiyan was, but Wen Qi knew. Wang Shichong was able to shock Luoyang, but this person's contribution is indispensable, Wang Shiyan was Wang Shichong's brother, and then with Wang Shichong's trouble, over the years Wang Shiyan has made great contributions to Wang Shichong's foundation. Wang Shichong has the chivalrous complex of the Jianghu people, when Luoyang settled the country, the first thing he thought of was this brother, so Wang Shiyan was named a Bolang king by Wang Shichong. In Luoyang City of Zheng Guo back then, I am afraid that except for Wang Shichong, this Wang Shiyan was the most prestigious, but for some reason, Wang Shiyan, who was crowned queen, slowly faded out of people's sight, and even in the end, he never appeared again. But now, Wen Qi heard this name again, and what is even more unbelievable is that Wang Shiyan, who once resounded throughout the Central Plains, actually let King Bolang not do it, but became a monk.
Seeing Wen Qi's expression, Master Yuankong knew that Wen Qi already knew his identity, Master Yuankong's palm curled slightly, and he smiled indifferently, "Girl Qi, there is nothing to be surprised about, the King of Bolang back then has long since died, and now it is only Wang Changhe who is alive, an old monk who took refuge in the Buddha!" ”
"No wonder, my father always calls the master King Qi, originally Qi'er thought it was just because your surname was Wang, but it turned out to be like this!"
"It's no wonder, I'm afraid that the only one who knows that I am a monk here is my elder brother, and there is also a benefactor!" Master Yuankong said a lot, but he never mentioned the treasure, and Wen Luo couldn't help but be a little anxious, she kept making colors at Wen Qi, and motioned to Wen Qi to urge this old monk. Master Yuankong didn't care about this, he smiled kindly at Wen Luo and said, "Girl, don't worry, the old man will talk about it!" ”
Wen Luo could only purse her mouth helplessly, since the old monk had said so, and her sister didn't say anything, she had to continue to wait.
Master Yuankong closed his eyes and thought about it, and then slowly said a shocking secret, "It was the twelfth year of the Great Cause, my brother had already coveted Luoyang for a long time, so he wanted someone to establish a secret stronghold in Luoyang for him, such a person is not easy to find, but the brother is also very patient, and finally one day let him find it, that person is called Wenlu." Wen Lu is a man of humanity, smart and witty, he quickly built a foundation after entering Luoyang, and became the richest merchant in Luoyang City, of course, this is indispensable for my brother's help. In two years, Wen Lu made a lot of money and accumulated countless wealth through my brother's helper, but at that time, my brother did not dare to put these finances in his own hands, because at that time, Yang Tong, the king of Yue in Luoyang City, had already been on guard against my brother under the bewitchment of other ministers, and with the threat of Li Mi's army outside, my brother would not rest assured that he would put his wealth in the army. So, he let Wenlu hide in a secret place, where not only the wealth that Wenlu had accumulated, but also the precious jewels that his brother had gathered. ”
"Master, what about later?" Seeing that Master Yuankong stopped, Wen Qi asked softly.
"Later? It was the fourteenth year of the great cause, and the elder brother could finally return to Luoyang openly, and that was also the most beautiful time for Wen Luhu, not only married a wife like a flower, but also got a huge mansion. At that time, many people were puzzled, but I knew that it was my brother's reward for Wen Lu, Wen Lu was a man who valued love and righteousness, and he gave all his talents to his brother, so his brother would naturally not treat him badly. He gave the Wen family the highest status, and also rewarded Wen Lu with a big official position, but unfortunately Wen Lu did not accept it, he said that he likes to do business! Speaking of this, Master Yuankong seemed to have said something interesting, he had a faint smile on his face, and said with emotion, "Wenlu this person, everything is good, but he is too affectionate, I once warned him to let him hand over the treasure matter to others, but he did not agree. At that time, I didn't think much about it, and then I quietly came to this Lingshan Temple as a monk, that is, from then on, Wenlu gave me a nickname called 'King Qi', as the name suggests, he was laughing at me for letting go of the prince inappropriately, but being a magical monk. ”
"I see!" Wen Qi nodded solemnly, what he heard today was too appalling, it turned out that the Wen family's treasure was involved in so many things. Wen Qi was silent for a while, then raised his eyes and asked, "Master, then why did you abandon your brother back then?" ”
"How can I say this, in fact, I have never left my brother, but there are some things in this world that cannot be stopped by manpower, my brother is a generation of heroes, but he can't be the lord of the world, because he is too affectionate and righteous" Master Yuankong shook his head with a smile, and he slowly narrated, "Maybe it's okay, after three years of martial arts, Da Zheng Guo was wiped out, and my brother went with him." In this world, it is always good to be peaceful, rather than a peaceful dog, not for the troubled world! ”
"Master, if that's the case, then why doesn't your brother talk about taking out the treasure? In this way, with the support of treasures, can't you make a comeback? ”
"Treasure? Hehe, it's also my brother who was too careless, and before he knew the details of the treasure, that tragedy happened to your Wen family, so that my brother was still thinking about the treasure until he died! ”
Wen Qi was a little puzzled, since it was a treasure established by his father on the order of Wang Shichong, why didn't Wang Shichong know?
"Hehe, girl, do you want to ask why my brother doesn't know where the treasure is?"
"Indeed!" Wen Qi nodded and did not deny it.
"That's a coincidence, originally in the first year of Wude, my brother planned to let your father take him to see where the treasure was, but unfortunately before the person went, your father died. After the accident, my brother sent someone to check your whereabouts, but found nothing, and even I thought you had died in the tragedy! ”
Wen Qi nodded in frustration, this world is really so coincidental, and it is so irresistible, if his father didn't insist on guarding this treasure back then, would the Wen family still need to kill so many people?
Loyalty and filial piety came together, and the love and righteousness were incomplete, and the father chose to be loyal to his master, but he killed hundreds of people in the Wen family. Wen Qi didn't know how to evaluate his father, was he good or bad?
