Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Road Encounter
Zhang Tongpan and Chai Zhubo quickly agreed to come down, Wang Zhubo took a few people to go with Fuyaozi to get the medicinal materials, and Zhang Tongpan led a few soldiers to run to Xijiaolou Street behind Yang Hao.Xu Fengqing took the rest and continued to the treasury.
Yang Hao ran to the west city in a hurry, and all the common people followed the prefect Xu to watch the excitement, but no one followed him to make trouble.Seeing the realm of the West City, suddenly a gentle gentleman walked over on the street with a bird cage in his hand, shaking his head and tail.
The young man was walking all the way, looking at some young and beautiful girls. He felt that the scenery was pleasant and the "spring scenery" was infinitely good. He suddenly saw a beggar running in front of him, and he was slightly startled. Seven or eight soldiers came running, the young master's expression changed drastically, he turned around and ran back.
Although Yang Haoren arrived in Guangyuan, his heart is still in the desert, he doesn't have the mind to meddle in other people's business, so he ignored him.The young man in front ran more and more panicked. He found that wherever he turned, the group of soldiers behind him would turn. Wherever he went, the group of soldiers would follow him. He was about to reach his house. The young master was sweating profusely from running, he stopped abruptly, and said fiercely: "Forget it, don't chase after me, why don't I let this parrot go?"
The beggar ignored him and ran past him; the man with an ax in one hand and a duster in the other ignored him and ran past him; ran past.The young man was full of wonder, he looked at the birdcage in his hand, then at the three people who ran into his house, and ran in after them.
It turns out that this young man is Ye Zhixuan, the young owner of Ye's car dealership. The last time he came out of the "Yingchun Pavilion", he was scolded by General Cheng who had just made a mess at home, and let his six-wheeled dog go. The eagle bought for ten pennies has since suffered from "soldier phobia".
He likes raising and walking birds, but he is afraid of being seen by soldiers and forcing him to let go, so whenever he sees soldiers while walking on the street, he must stay away from them.Recently, Cheng Shixiong led an army to the Northern Han Dynasty to participate in the war. Only a part of the guards remained in Guangyuan City. It was rare to see officers and soldiers in the streets and alleys of the city. He walked a little more casually. He didn't want to run into them again not long after he went out today. .
When Ye Zhixuan returned home and looked, she couldn't help but be shocked. She saw her father leading the whole family kneeling in the yard. On the steps stood the long-haired beggar with a shawl, an ax in one hand, and a feather duster in the other. Ye Zhixuan couldn't help being startled and angry, she rushed forward and said: "In broad daylight, you beggar dare to enter the house and grab an ax... Huh?"
In the middle of his speech, he suddenly remembered that there were still several officers and soldiers present. The robbers robbed, and the officers and soldiers would not help. What happened, is there something that I don't understand?
At this moment, his father turned his head and shouted sharply: "Little beast, don't kneel down yet!"
"father……"
"Kneel down!"
Ye Zhixuan hurriedly knelt down, Master Ye turned around and said: "Master Imperial Envoy, don't blame the Imperial Envoy for your recklessness and ignorance."
"Master Imperial Envoy?"
Ye Zhixuan felt the world spinning for a while, like a sea of clouds and mountains. "Although my family is taking advantage of some spare money, it is only a merchant's family after all. Even if you ask, the magistrate will not enter his house, but the imperial envoy...the imperial envoy is sent by the emperor, he is an angel. , What did the third emissary come to my house for, why...why is this envoy from the Son of Heaven even worse than a beggar?"
Yang Hao said in a friendly manner: "Old shopkeeper Ye, it is about tens of thousands of lives, and I hope that shopkeeper Ye will help you out of justice. I am here to represent the imperial court. Don't worry, if there is any harm to the chariots and civilians, the imperial court will provide compensation and compensation." The government will also compensate for the loss caused by the suspension of business caused by the requisition of vehicles."
The old shopkeeper Ye nodded, and said with a sigh of relief: "Your Imperial Envoy, don't say that. Although the villain is a merchant, he also understands righteousness. Even if my Ye family's motorcade is all buried outside the Great Wall, it is worth doing. This matter It is the glory of the Ye family to be able to land in the Ye family. The Ye family's carriages, mules and horses travel all over the place every day, and not all of them are in Guangyuan, but the villain immediately began to prepare. All the vehicles and drivers in Guangyuan are now Gather up and go to the treasury to wait for your lord to dispatch."
Yang Hao was greatly moved. He didn't expect that a businessman in the business would be so courteous and righteous. He quickly handed the Jieyue to Zhang Tongpan, stepped forward to help the shopkeeper Ye, and said happily: " Shopkeeper Ye is deeply aware of righteousness, and I will inform the magistrate Xu about this matter, and he will go to the court to ask for praise for Shopkeeper Ye."
Shopkeeper Ye didn't even dare to say it, but his brows were full of joy. He has a lot of money, but this reputation and glory can't be won with the wealth of his family. "From now on, is the Ye family still a merchant on the ground in the northwest?Shopkeeper Ye really wanted to do something for the refugees, and now he unexpectedly got such a promise from the imperial envoy, he turned around in surprise and said to his son, "My son, this rescue of the disaster is a great act of charity. , you lead the convoy yourself, and go to Meridian Valley with the imperial envoy."
"Ah? Me?" Ye Zhixuan, who was kneeling aside as if nothing had happened, didn't know that her father had put in so much painstaking efforts to put the award title of "a righteous gentleman" on his head. When she heard this, she raised her head in astonishment and pointed asked with the tip of his nose.
When Yang Hao rushed to the treasury, the prefect Xu was instructing people to pack the food for delivery. Seeing his arrival, the prefect Xu rushed up to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Master Yang, did you send the vehicle?" Yang Haodao: "Although the Ye family is in the business of transportation, their vehicles are operating in various places. Now they don't have many vehicles in the city. Today, all the vehicles transporting back to the city have been stopped, and they will wait until the goods are unloaded. Come here. There are also some vehicles that transport guests. They also need to explain the situation to the guests, pay for the freight, and then they will come. But...these vehicles are not enough to transport food. I wanted to transport enough food and In the past, we still need to get some empty cars for the old, young and sick people to travel by car, which can speed up the speed of travel. Although the idea is good, it is greatly discounted now." Xu Fengqing hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, don't be impatient. Your Excellency is in a hurry to transport the grain back, so just go ahead. The Japanese government will raise funds in Haosheng in the past few days, prepare a batch of vehicles, carry the grain, and rush to meet them. By the way, the north side How is the war going now? Do you need officers and soldiers to escort you? To be honest, there are not many officers and soldiers guarding the city in Guangyuan, and I can't spare many manpower. After deducting the guards, sending you three hundred soldiers is barely enough..." Yang Hao shook his head and said to himself: "The north is in a mess now, if you are really unlucky and meet Khitan people, your 300 people are not enough to fill your teeth, what's the use of sending them?" Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly saw Yang Jincheng standing there with a group of patrolling yamen servants. He had called them from the yamen. Only when he got here did he realize that it was just a false alarm.This imperial envoy was actually someone he knew. In half a year, he had changed from a small steward of the Ding family to a dignified imperial envoy in the imperial court and the eighth-rank governor. Yang Jincheng stood aside and watched, his eyes were really hot. When Yang Hao saw him, he swallowed the refusal that was already on his lips, pointed at Yang Jincheng, and said with a smile: "Master Xu, I don't want your generals, I just hope you can lend me some police officers to listen to." use, how?" When Xu Zhifu heard this, he said in astonishment: "Master Yang is saying...he...them?" He pointed at Yang Jincheng and his group, and Yang Jincheng and the others puffed up their chests. Xu Zhifu said with a smile: "In addition to patrolling the city, they also manage the city's law and order, prevent rape and violence, investigate and arrest smuggling, arrest robbery, steal and fight. What's the use of chasing down the thugs who occupy the road and run toilet dumps?" Yang Jincheng and the other police officers were ashamed and ashamed when they heard this, their waists that had straightened up just now quietly bent down again. Yang Hao shook his head and said: "Master Xu's words are wrong. One thing is one thing, and the brine is tofu. You only need to lend me three hundred urban management for things that three thousand elite soldiers can't do... Ah no, three hundred government officials can patrol and arrest, but they can do it." It’s done in an orderly and impressive manner.” Yang Jincheng and others puffed up their chests triumphantly after hearing this. Xu Fengqing suddenly said: "Master Yang wants...to let them manage the people who moved from the Northern Han Dynasty?" Yang Hao said: "Yes, there are nearly 50,000 people, men, women, old and young, good and bad, eating and drinking, and marching and camping. It is a mobile city army. Those officers and soldiers fighting on the battlefield are not ambiguous. Let them manage the people but they are not good at it. Fighting and shouting, they won't do anything else. The guards and arresters of your mansion are the best at these things." Xu Fengqing said: "It would be nice to second some police officers, but there are only five hundred officials in this government, so I can lend you three hundred..." He hesitated for a moment, then paused and said: "Forget it, the matter on the side of the imperial envoy is more urgent , this officer, let the remaining people work harder." When Yang Hao heard this, he said happily, "Thank you, Governor Xu, for your kindness. Fifty thousand soldiers and civilians will all thank Mr. Xu for his care and care." At this moment, someone galloped up, and he reined in his horse and stopped. Seeing that the treasury was busy, and many laborers were loading grain, he shouted: "Where is the grain storage envoy? Next is Bazhou Ding!" Messenger of the Ding family, the food delivered by the Ding family is about to enter the city. Please prepare to collect it, sir." Yang Hao's body shook, and Huo Di raised his head: "Bazhou Ding's family!" He didn't feel anything when he heard about the Ding family in Bazhou from others, or when he mentioned the Ding family in Bazhou from his own mouth. "Four words came, but it was like the first spring thunder after a winter's sting, and it shook his heart that had been closed for a long time. These days, first there was the bloody storm on the battlefield, and then the life-and-death struggle of the Jedi trek. What he thought he had become numb and indifferent suddenly resurfaced in his heart incomparably vividly. That nagging, cowardly old lady who only wanted to stay in the Ding family's compound all her life, but was very loving to him; the one who beat a roe deer in the winter and hid it in the earth cave waiting to share with him, all her life she just wanted to have This woman, who lives like a man's brother Sang Zhuer; that gentle and innocent Luo Donger who is like a clear spring... Their voices, faces and smiles emerge in Yang Hao's mind one by one, like a gentle knife , One knife at a time cut off the scabbed scar on his heart, and the bright red blood flowed out again. Xu Zhifu glanced at the messenger who reported the news, then looked back at Yang Hao, and was suddenly startled: This imperial envoy dressed as a beggar has burst into tears at some point...
Yang Hao and Xu Zhifu rode out of the city together. The family members of the Ding family had been sent back first. Xu Zhifu ordered the Ding family team to wait outside the city for a while without entering the city. , and offended the government because of something, so he hurried away without farting. Although Xu Zhifu is a civil servant, he also knows how to ride a horse, but he can only ride a Taiping horse, galloping a horse is not enough, but now he has to wait for Fuyaozi to collect herbs, and for the cars of Ye's car dealership to gather here, so he can't wait for a while. He was in a hurry to get on the road, so Yang Hao accompanied him to slowly drive out of the city. The Ding family's convoy came at the right time. Their ready-made carriages and horses are used to running long distances, and the grain has been bundled long ago. Yang Hao has decided to directly transport part of the grain brought by the Ding family to Meridian Valley. Even Ding's family's chariots, horses and coachmen were recruited by imperial decree. The horse headed towards the east city, and when he reached a crossroads, he saw a group of people walking slowly, blocking their way.It was a family that was going to a funeral. Judging from the situation, it should be a big family, and there were quite a few members in the family. Hundreds of people wore linen filial piety, held banners calling for souls, and sprinkled paper money along the way. Eight big men in front carried a coffin. In front of the coffin, a monk in a purple cassock, accompanied by two gray-clothed monks, was chanting sutras. The coffin and the mourners on the 10th crowded the road. It is impossible to let people go back, not to mention the dead are big, and the government has to follow the folk customs. Xu Zhifu frowned and said: "Yang Jincheng, tell them to hurry up." In the past, the government had important things to do." Yang Jincheng was about to approach the horse, but Yang Hao stopped him and said, "Forget it, our medicinal materials and vehicles haven't been gathered yet. It's not too late. There is a funeral at home. I'm already grieving, so there's no need to rush." Yang Hao said Then, he took a careful look at the funeral procession, and was immediately stunned. In the Han and Wei dynasties eminent monks often wore red cassocks, but in the Tang and Song Dynasties it was customary to wear purple or scarlet cassocks. This monk is wearing a purple cassock with ivory knots on his chest and a Pilu hat on his head.I saw him running slowly, shaking every step three times, chanting words in his mouth, and when he took a step, the diamond bell in his hand would jingle. Looking at his appearance, with red lips and white teeth, he is handsome, and he puts on cassock and monk hat, as if Tang Sanzang is reincarnated, Yang Hao couldn't help shouting: "Bi Su!" Bi Su was drowsy from the sun, and he was reciting the "Hearing and Liberation Mantra" that he had memorized with great difficulty without looking up, when he suddenly heard someone call his "layman" name, ah!I have never been a monk at all, so I just chased ducks to the shelves... He quickly raised his head, and saw a beggar riding on a horse, and the people riding beside him also had their own characteristics. In addition to the other two fierce beggars, there was also a scribe in brocade clothes and a long beard, and a policeman in a red robe with a soap hat. Surprised. Yang Hao got off his horse, stood on the side of the road and said, "Bisu, you...how did you become a real monk? I am Yang Hao." "Yang Hao?" Bi Su was overjoyed, leaving behind the two gray-robed monks, he rushed over happily: "I heard that you have become an imperial envoy, why do you look like this, are you visiting privately?" "What a fart in Weifu." Yang Hao complained: "Don't mention it, I was hunted down by Khitan dogs all the way, so I had no choice but to lead my people to turn around. This time, I came back to collect food from Master Xu of Guangyuan. Are you a monk?" "I'm a fart's family." Bi Su complained bitterly: "The money you left behind was supposed to be enough. Who would have thought that quack doctor is incapable of curing diseases, and the fees for medical treatment are extremely high. He said that the war in the north was so tight that many medicinal materials were used. It was purchased by the government, so the cost of the medicine was several times more expensive. I don’t know if it’s true or not. At that time, I lay on the kang all day long, so I had to let him talk. Alas, I was bullied by dogs in Pingyang, that’s all. Wait, when the disease is cured, I have already spent all my money on medicine and consultation fees, and I owe the store a large sum of accommodation and food..." Yang Hao looked at this troubled brother and said in disbelief: "With your ability, it is not easy to get some money back?" Bi Su widened his peach blossom eyes and said, "Easy? What's easy? In the war in the north, Guangyuan City checks the history of household loans every day. I don't know how many times the policemen came to the store where I live, and one of them actually recognized me." Yes, you know my identity, and warned me not to commit crimes in Guangyuan. It’s not the same today, but there are people who take advantage of the chaos to steal and rob, add ten grades to the crime, and beheaded in public. Even if I get the money, I haven’t left the city. Waist card, at that time, it was not caught in the urn... Ahem, I had no choice but to sweep and wash the dishes for the innkeeper, and I don’t know how long this debt will be repaid. You go to the wind Feng Guangguang became an imperial envoy, but I became the second brother in the inn, wow..." Yang Hao almost burst into tears of sympathy when he heard Bi Su's sadness. When they entered the city, they saw that the guards and soldiers were very strict on the pedestrians. Be careful, if it wasn't for Fan Laosi and the others carrying the badges of officers and soldiers, he would not be able to enter the city. Knowing that Bi Su's words were true, he said, "It's because I didn't think carefully, so why are you... ...?" Bi Su chuckled, and said complacently: "There is no unparalleled road, we look good. The father of Qian Yuanwai died, and he wanted to have a grand funeral, but he was reluctant to spend money to invite the monk from Puji Temple to perform ceremonies. , I found two traveling monks from Guangyuan City, and thought they were too ugly, so I had an idea and hired me to be the great monk who presided over the ritual, and promised to pay for my board and lodging expenses. " Beside him was a fat man with a pockmarked face, dressed in filial piety, linen robes, and a mourning stick in his hand. Hearing what Bi Su said, his face turned purple.But when he heard that this beggar was an imperial envoy, and seeing the magistrate standing beside him, he didn't dare to get angry. After hearing this, Yang Hao went to look at the two real monks. He saw the two gray-robed monks, one with thick eyebrows and evil eyebrows, big nostrils, and the other simple and thick, with big arms and round waists. The little boy who is carrying the guiding flag and summoning the soul can act out. Bi Su finished complaining, and said with bright eyes: "Yang Hao, ah no... Yang Qinchao, Yang Angel, we are friends in need. Now that you are a high-ranking official, you must not forget your brother. Is there a shortage of people? If you are willing to ask, I will defect to you, make your bed, make your quilt, serve tea and water... Bah, bah, bah, I'm used to doing these things in the inn these days, and I say it's easy Lah. Let me lead the horse and drop the stirrups for you, and listen to it in front of the tent, okay?" Yang Hao said solemnly: "To tell you the truth, I am an imperial envoy, and now I am not enjoying the blessings. Are you really willing to follow me?" Bi Su jumped up and said: "I want to go, I want to go, of course I want to go, I would rather lead a horse for a good man than be a master of a poor man, who doesn't want to go to a high place, look at you, you have only worked for a few days, and you are as good as the magistrate." The master is standing shoulder to shoulder, of course I am willing to go with you. You have to endure hardships to become a master. Wait..." Bi Su turned around and left. Back in front of the coffin, he straightened his Pilu hat and shook his purple ribbon robe. In front of the coffin, one person was holding a spiritual tablet and the other was holding an incense plate. do what. I saw him walking to the incense plate, picking up a needle, threading a red silk thread, and inserting the needle into the clean sand, pinching the end of the red thread with the unknown root in his left hand, forming Vajra Fist, and pointing to the clean sand with his right hand, He murmured and said: "The late Qian Xinlong, the poor monk Konghui, has the secret method of superseding and liberating, which can make you get rid of suffering and find happiness, and liberate you from life and death. You must listen carefully, be sincere, understand this principle, develop a big heart, and become a Buddha. Dao, to save all beings, don't miss the last good chance. The late Qian Xinlong, listen carefully!Listen!Follow the teachings!The Diamond Sutra says: "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such." "All appearances are illusory. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata."If you can observe and act like this, all the surroundings will be empty, and you will be free, and you will never suffer, and you will be happy. The late Qian Xinlong, listen carefully!Listen!Follow the teachings!Don't be angry and evil thoughts... Life is immeasurable, without fatigue, as the above advice, true and true, there is no lie, remember!Do it!Namo all Tathagata heart secret whole body relic treasure casket Yindara, Buddhist scriptures mantra stud.All Amitabha Buddhas of the ten directions and three times in Namo, Om, Duludulu, Jayamuk Soha..." After Bi Su finished speaking, he went to the coffin, saluted the head, picked up the white silk hanging on the coffin and untied a knot, and recited: "The fate of the world is over, and I will be free from everything. I wish to use all my merits to make Qian Xinlong, a disciple of the Buddha, happy." The almsgiver will be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, return to the pure land of all Buddhas, karma will be eliminated, and wisdom will be clear, and he will be liberated and become a Buddha..." The half-toned monk Bisu finished the ceremonies that were supposed to be done when the coffin was buried in the ground in one go on the street, clapped his palms, walked back with ease, and said to the stunned Master Qian: "Now It's over, you can just carry your old man to bury him. The poor monk will go now." Yang Hao said in amazement: "Where did you learn how to do things?" Bi Su pointed at the two real monks and said, "I learned from them." Yang Hao exhaled, smiled wryly and said, "You really put your heart into it." Bi Su said solemnly: "You think I want to memorize it? But if I don't put my heart into it, I won't succeed. I'm afraid of being haunted by that old ghost of the Qian family. How can I bear it then?" Yang Hao was speechless after hearing this: "..."
When Yang Hao rushed to the treasury, the prefect Xu was instructing people to pack the food for delivery. Seeing his arrival, the prefect Xu rushed up to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Master Yang, did you send the vehicle?" Yang Haodao: "Although the Ye family is in the business of transportation, their vehicles are operating in various places. Now they don't have many vehicles in the city.

Bi Su was overjoyed, leaving behind the two gray-robed monks, he rushed over happily: "I heard that you have become an imperial envoy, why do you look like this, are you visiting privately?" "What a fart in Weifu." Yang Hao complained: "Don't mention it, I was hunted down by Khitan dogs all the way, so I had no choice but to lead my people to turn around. This time, I came back to collect food from Master Xu of Guangyuan. Are you a monk?" "I'm a fart's family." Bi Su complained bitterly: "The money you left behind was supposed to be enough. Who would have thought that quack doctor is incapable of curing diseases, and the fees for medical treatment are extremely high. He said that the war in the north was so tight that many medicinal materials were used. It was purchased by the government, so the cost of the medicine was several times more expensive. I don’t know if it’s true or not. At that time, I lay on the kang all day long, so I had to let him talk. Alas, I was bullied by dogs in Pingyang, that’s all. Wait, when the disease is cured, I have already spent all my money on medicine and consultation fees, and I owe the store a large sum of accommodation and food..." Yang Hao looked at this troubled brother and said in disbelief: "With your ability, it is not easy to get some money back?" Bi Su widened his peach blossom eyes and said, "Easy? What's easy? In the war in the north, Guangyuan City checks the history of household loans every day. I don't know how many times the policemen came to the store where I live, and one of them actually recognized me." Yes, you know my identity, and warned me not to commit crimes in Guangyuan. It’s not the same today, but there are people who take advantage of the chaos to steal and rob, add ten grades to the crime, and beheaded in public. Even if I get the money, I haven’t left the city. Waist card, at that time, it was not caught in the urn... Ahem, I had no choice but to sweep and wash the dishes for the innkeeper, and I don’t know how long this debt will be repaid. You go to the wind Feng Guangguang became an imperial envoy, but I became the second brother in the inn, wow..." Yang Hao almost burst into tears of sympathy when he heard Bi Su's sadness. When they entered the city, they saw that the guards and soldiers were very strict on the pedestrians. Be careful, if it wasn't for Fan Laosi and the others carrying the badges of officers and soldiers, he would not be able to enter the city. Knowing that Bi Su's words were true, he said, "It's because I didn't think carefully, so why are you... ...?" Bi Su chuckled, and said complacently: "There is no unparalleled road, we look good. The father of Qian Yuanwai died, and he wanted to have a grand funeral, but he was reluctant to spend money to invite the monk from Puji Temple to perform ceremonies. , I found two traveling monks from Guangyuan City, and thought they were too ugly, so I had an idea and hired me to be the great monk who presided over the ritual, and promised to pay for my board and lodging expenses. " Beside him was a fat man with a pockmarked face, dressed in filial piety, linen robes, and a mourning stick in his hand. Hearing what Bi Su said, his face turned purple.But when he heard that this beggar was an imperial envoy, and seeing the magistrate standing beside him, he didn't dare to get angry. After hearing this, Yang Hao went to look at the two real monks. He saw the two gray-robed monks, one with thick eyebrows and evil eyebrows, big nostrils, and the other simple and thick, with big arms and round waists. The little boy who is carrying the guiding flag and summoning the soul can act out. Bi Su finished complaining, and said with bright eyes: "Yang Hao, ah no... Yang Qinchao, Yang Angel, we are friends in need. Now that you are a high-ranking official, you must not forget your brother. Is there a shortage of people? If you are willing to ask, I will defect to you, make your bed, make your quilt, serve tea and water... Bah, bah, bah, I'm used to doing these things in the inn these days, and I say it's easy Lah. Let me lead the horse and drop the stirrups for you, and listen to it in front of the tent, okay?" Yang Hao said solemnly: "To tell you the truth, I am an imperial envoy, and now I am not enjoying the blessings. Are you really willing to follow me?" Bi Su jumped up and said: "I want to go, I want to go, of course I want to go, I would rather lead a horse for a good man than be a master of a poor man, who doesn't want to go to a high place, look at you, you have only worked for a few days, and you are as good as the magistrate." The master is standing shoulder to shoulder, of course I am willing to go with you. You have to endure hardships to become a master. Wait..." Bi Su turned around and left. Back in front of the coffin, he straightened his Pilu hat and shook his purple ribbon robe. In front of the coffin, one person was holding a spiritual tablet and the other was holding an incense plate. do what. I saw him walking to the incense plate, picking up a needle, threading a red silk thread, and inserting the needle into the clean sand, pinching the end of the red thread with the unknown root in his left hand, forming Vajra Fist, and pointing to the clean sand with his right hand, He murmured and said: "The late Qian Xinlong, the poor monk Konghui, has the secret method of superseding and liberating, which can make you get rid of suffering and find happiness, and liberate you from life and death. You must listen carefully, be sincere, understand this principle, develop a big heart, and become a Buddha. Dao, to save all beings, don't miss the last good chance. The late Qian Xinlong, listen carefully!Listen!Follow the teachings!The Diamond Sutra says: "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such." "All appearances are illusory. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata."If you can observe and act like this, all the surroundings will be empty, and you will be free, and you will never suffer, and you will be happy. The late Qian Xinlong, listen carefully!Listen!Follow the teachings!Don't be angry and evil thoughts... Life is immeasurable, without fatigue, as the above advice, true and true, there is no lie, remember!Do it!Namo all Tathagata heart secret whole body relic treasure casket Yindara, Buddhist scriptures mantra stud.All Amitabha Buddhas of the ten directions and three times in Namo, Om, Duludulu, Jayamuk Soha..." After Bi Su finished speaking, he went to the coffin, saluted the head, picked up the white silk hanging on the coffin and untied a knot, and recited: "The fate of the world is over, and I will be free from everything. I wish to use all my merits to make Qian Xinlong, a disciple of the Buddha, happy." The almsgiver will be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, return to the pure land of all Buddhas, karma will be eliminated, and wisdom will be clear, and he will be liberated and become a Buddha..." The half-toned monk Bisu finished the ceremonies that were supposed to be done when the coffin was buried in the ground in one go on the street, clapped his palms, walked back with ease, and said to the stunned Master Qian: "Now It's over, you can just carry your old man to bury him. The poor monk will go now." Yang Hao said in amazement: "Where did you learn how to do things?" Bi Su pointed at the two real monks and said, "I learned from them." Yang Hao exhaled, smiled wryly and said, "You really put your heart into it." Bi Su said solemnly: "You think I want to memorize it? But if I don't put my heart into it, I won't succeed. I'm afraid of being haunted by that old ghost of the Qian family. How can I bear it then?" Yang Hao was speechless after hearing this: "..."
