Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Imperial City.

In an antique room in the Huitong Pavilion where foreign envoys are received.

A monk in white who was sitting quietly cross-legged with his hands clasped suddenly opened his eyes.

Jiang Shan noticed a change in a certain direction of the palace, and he smiled faintly: "It seems that there are still people who are destined to be my Buddha."

"I didn't expect that there is someone in Dayan who can fuse the Buddha's relics. I really want to meet this person. I thought that he would return in vain, but it is just the will of the Seventh Patriarch that ordinary people cannot accept. He may even be assimilated by the Seventh Patriarch and selected by the relics. , this person can also be regarded as half of my disciples of the Seventh Ancestor."

He left the bed and looked at the window, trying to see through an unknown distance.

But the noise quickly subsided, as if nothing had happened.

"I don't know when the turmoil in Great Yan will end. A weakened Great Yan, even if it is good for Yinshuang Kingdom, is still not a good thing for the people of the world."

The second day.

The news that the Buddha's relics were lost quickly spread throughout the Imperial Capital, and many people were shocked.

Dashuang National Treasure, such an important thing, is missing?

Many people have not even tried to meet him to see if they are destined to meet him, but within a day, the relic disappeared, and they all sighed for a while.

Logically speaking, when such a big thing happened, the cabinet should stand up and explain a few words, but the next day was surprisingly calm.

In fact, the cabinet is also mired in quarrels at the moment.

"Last night, the Ming Deng Division reported that it was Langya King Lu Yunwan who had stolen the Buddha's relics. Chongwen King Lu Yunqing was also at the scene. Many experts intercepted and killed him on the way. In the end, the relics were still missing and were not there. But early this morning, the Silver Frost Messenger, Monk Jiang Shan said that the relic has recognized its owner."

"The above are all testimonies collected by the prince and the commander of the Lighting Department last night."

A cabinet minister read this to a paper.

"Wherever the relics go, there must be a whereabouts. No matter who gets the relics, they can't pretend to be ignorant. Can't Jiang Shan find out who took the relics?" A slightly rough-looking minister said in a condensed voice. road.

Another scholar said: "After asking, if the relic has not yet recognized its owner, Jiang Shan can locate the relic. However, if it is absorbed by someone, the sense will disappear, and he can only determine that the final whereabouts are near the palace."

"The imperial palace is so vast, and the nearby mansions are filled with princes, ministers, and government offices. There are tens of thousands of people there. How can we find out clearly?" Many people immediately frowned.

"Then Jiang Shan is lying. He obviously took back the Buddha's relic, but he said it was stolen, so that we can draw water from the bamboo basket in vain."

Wang Hefu, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, said calmly: "Impossible. Aren't the words of the two princes very clear? The relic was indeed replaced by the seventh prince. He himself admitted his guilt. Although it was forced to be intercepted and killed on the way, he still made it clear. Passed by."

Chief Assistant Yuan Xuangang stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "It is a good thing for Dayan that someone can take away the Buddha's relics. It is better than being taken back by that monk Jiang Shan, but I don't know who did it."

He originally wanted to dedicate this thing to the Holy One, but he didn't expect that its whereabouts are now unknown.

The Holy One has never said that he needs this thing, but it is still a valuable thing.

"Therefore, this matter cannot be disclosed to the people of the imperial capital. It must be reduced to a minor issue, dealt with in one stroke, and put it in a positive direction to save the face of the imperial court." Wang Hefu suggested.

"That's all. As for King Langya's punishment."

The Seventh Prince Lu Yunwan actually dared to steal the relics. Even if he surrendered himself in the end, he could not simply be taken away. Stealing the treasures of the envoy was not a big crime. The crime did not lead to death, and there was no need for house arrest or imprisonment. But There must be punishment.

"This matter involves two princes. We need to take into account the face of the royal family. We don't need to punish them severely, but they still need to be punished."

Wang Hefu thought for a while and said, "The war in the north has been going on recently, and the champion prince is about to send troops. It is better to ask King Langya to pay more gold, silver and food, which can just fill the logistics gap for the march and make the war smoother."

"Yes, this method is good. King Langya is quite wealthy, so this shouldn't be a problem." Yuan Xuangang nodded in agreement.

Fines can be said to be a more practical method, better than any other method.

In today's Great Yan, wars have broken out frequently in just one year, and financial resources have been stretched thin. It would be a great thing if someone could fill the vacancy.

"Do we need to continue investigating the whereabouts of the relics?"

"Compared with the whereabouts of the relics, there is an extra force to snatch the relics, which needs to be investigated clearly." Wang Hefu pointed out the key point directly.

"With the power of a single party, we can resist the disciples of the two princes. We are not weak. How can we allow such a force to act recklessly in the imperial capital."

Yuan Xuangang glanced at Wang Hefu and said: "Yes, the whereabouts of the relics are important, but they are not as important as the safety of the Imperial Capital."

Many ministers were a little helpless when they saw that the first assistant did not mention a word about the impact on the two princes.

Although there was a force that suddenly appeared to cause trouble last night, in terms of influence, it was still the many disciples under King Chongwen.

Some are even monks from the three academies.

The mad monk Fanshen, the head of the Vajra Temple, was involved, but it is said that he was almost seriously injured.

This has actually become a struggle between many princes, as well as a struggle between the forces behind them. Even the chief minister does not want to offend. He is a typical example of not taking sides, and he will definitely not provoke those forces of the Immortal Family.

Wang Hefu is also an old man. In his thirty years of official career, he has never offended anyone and will not get involved.

They were even more afraid. The last cabinet reorganization was caused by the farce of palace changes caused by many cabinet ministers supporting the eldest prince.

So the best way is to turn one eye or close one eye.

The Holy One has been lying in bed. He has not woken up for three days and three nights. His whole body is like a lamp that has run out of oil, as if he will die the next day. Under such circumstances, no one dares to act rashly.

We can only pray that this storm will pass quickly and that a prince can stand up and take charge of the overall situation.

Three days passed and the big day soon came.

August 15th.

On this day, the Qingzhu Hall is decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere. Rows of red lanterns are hung on both sides of the door. There are various paper cuts everywhere on the doors and windows, which is very auspicious.

Lu Mingyuan sat in front of the bronze mirror in the main hall, like a doll, stretching his hands and feet, being dressed in various formal clothes by Ziyun and Hongwan.

Empty your mind.

He recalled that in his previous life, he was almost thirty years old and was not married. He was busy all his life, single, and thought he was a civil servant. He went on many blind dates, but he didn't like them. He didn't expect that he was about to get married now, and it was just once. Sex marries two.

A moment of trance.

With a "whoosh" sound, the whole person came to a space with golden water.

The golden Buddha energy here is liquefied, like a golden lake and sea. On the surface of the golden lake and sea, there are golden-leaf bodhi trees growing, all of which are Buddhist holy trees.

This is a dust-free world.

Since absorbing the Buddha's relics and breaking through to the sea-viewing state, he would come to this space every day when he dreams or when he is mentally exhausted. This is more like a sea of ​​consciousness space.

Sometimes it takes a moment, sometimes it takes a few breaths.

Now, he can have time to look at the world.

There is a saying in Buddha's words: One flower and one Bodhi, one leaf and one world.

This should be the remaining spiritual world of Buddha.

Lu Mingyuan walked forward slowly and asked, "Who are you and where are you?"

"I know who you are, poor monk. You are a descendant of the Destiny Dynasty."

The vast voice sounded again.

"Wow!"

At Lu Mingyuan's feet, a shadow appeared on the white water.

It is a Buddha image with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, an ancient face, wearing a cassock, and ninety-nine buns on his head, which are like earthworms running through mud patterns.

Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but take a step back and looked up at the sky.

But, there was nothing in the sky.

There was only a shadow in the water.

"No need to look for it. I have been dead for many years. This is the Sambhogakaya condensed from my remaining consciousness and merit energy." The Buddha's shadow in the water said this.

The sound was erratic, sometimes distant and sometimes near.

The Buddha has three bodies: Dharma body, Sambhogakaya, and Response body.

Dharmakaya is the true body of Buddha and a symbol of the ontology of life.

The Sambhogakaya refers to the body formed by the accumulation of merits and knowledge. After the Dharmakaya dies, the Sambhogakaya can be reincarnated.

what goes around comes around.

All are Sambhogakaya.

What is contained in the relics is the power of the Sambhogakaya.

As for Yingshen, it refers to the incarnation of Buddha.

Lu Mingyuan saw the Buddha's shadow in the water, which looked very similar to the Buddha in the Golden Body Temple, and asked: "Are you the seventh Buddha in the history of Buddhism?"

"Exactly."

Lu Mingyuan felt respect and quickly clasped his hands together and saluted.

This is a great Buddhist being, and he has received the favor of the relics, how can he not worship him?

"If we can't wait for the successor, the power of this relic will be exhausted, but it just so happens that you are here," said the Buddha shadow in the water.

The Seventh Patriarch's dharma body has died, and his corresponding body no longer exists. Only a part of his sambhogakaya remains here, and he cannot be reincarnated. Is there any purpose?

Lu Mingyuan said in confusion: "This junior is just a warrior who has just broken through the sea-viewing realm, and he doesn't know much about Buddhism. Why would the Buddha choose me?"

"It doesn't mean you have a high level of cultivation, you will definitely be able to achieve something. Zen is everywhere, as is the Buddha's intention. If you have Zen in your heart, you will be in the Western Heaven."

"Relic will never choose the wrong person."

"Use this power well to save all sentient beings and save the world from chaos."

"Because the dangers in this world are far more terrifying than you imagine."

After the Buddha's shadow finished speaking, it slowly disappeared, and the golden water surface also dispersed.

Lu Mingyuan returned to reality, his eyes were in a trance, and he was covering his heart.

A faint warmth appeared in the fiery heart.

At some point, his clothes had been changed.

Wearing a red cloud-embroidered four-clawed crown gown, with an hydrangea hanging on his chest, a jade belt and a silver crown, he is tall and straight, looking majestic and heroic.

Since the founding of Dayan, Taizu has stipulated that the crown of the crown should be twelve chapters, and the crown prince and the kings should use the crown of nine chapters. The characteristic of the crown is that the body of the crown is decorated with dragon patterns.

"Your Highness is so handsome!"

"When I take one look at this slave, I feel envious. Princess Qi and Princess Huo are so lucky!"

Ziyun and Hongwan praised them repeatedly.

The two maids also put on corresponding dresses. They looked at Lu Mingyuan with a look of intoxication in their eyes, as if there were little stars.

Before she even passed the door, she had already started calling her Princess.

"It's time to go out."

This marriage was also in the harem. Among the many princes, Lu Mingyuan was the first. Many etiquettes were also changed. Originally, he was supposed to go to Qi Mansion and Champion Hou Mansion to pick up the bride. Now these steps are omitted. His marriage It's absolutely fresh and unprecedented.

Soon, Lu Mingyuan arrived at Yaoguang Palace, and a festive red sedan also entered the palace. Qi Muxue, wearing a red hood, was helped out of the sedan by two beautiful maids.

Qi Muxue was dressed in a bright red robe with full sleeves, overlapping red skirts, jeweled hairpins, and intertwined jade hands. She walked up the steps with her head held high, with a bunch of flowers on her head, a phoenix-patterned Xiapei, and a gold hijab.

The decoration is so grand that it is as delicate as spring flowers. It is impossible to describe it with pen and ink. It is both beautiful and dignified.

When Lu Mingyuan saw this, he was greatly moved.
