Chapter 25 Chapter 24 Lotus Magic

Di Chun pushed the door open and came in, his face was flushed by the cold wind, he kept rubbing his hands, and said: "Master, the food is ready, let's go outside to eat now." He muttered in a low voice: " If it wasn't for the arrival of an illiterate customer, I would have been able to eat it long ago." Di Renjie looked at Di Chun with a twinkle in his eyes, and said with a smile, "Who made you angry? It's so cold, I've been standing outside the door for a long time—could it be someone from the Judge's Court?" Di Chun still didn't respond, but Li Kaigu shouted first: "Oh, I'm most afraid of seeing these people," while pulling Hu Luchong, "My lord, brother Yuanfang, let's avoid it for a while."

Li Yuanfang smiled and said: "You are so impatient, let's go and drink ours, what are you doing!" Di Renjie also said: "Don't worry, Di Chun knows that I don't want to see these people, so I sent them away early." Sure enough, Di Chun nodded and chuckled beside him, and replied: "It's Hou Sizhi, but the lackeys of Junchen and his gang are really annoying, I said that the master is not at home, and he is still at the door with all kinds of rascals, so it was so difficult to beat him. " Di Renjie sneered and said, "So it was him." At that moment, everyone came out of the room, Di Chun led him forward, and walked to the outer hall, Li Kaigu still couldn't understand: "Just now Di Chun didn't say anything, how did your lord know?"

Di Renjie chuckled: "It's easy, I've been with Di Chun for a long time, and I heard from him that there is a 'disgusting guest', he must not be my close friend; we just arrived in Luoyang, and we have been busy with the Donggong case for the past few days. , there is no one else involved, and the progress of this case, the matter of His Majesty ordering me to go to Yique, others will not pay attention to it, and they will not be able to quickly know the news-from this, it should be Lai Junchen and the like-they have long coveted Masks, or the treasures under Yi Que, will rush to the door to ask for an interview, come to find out what I mean, and see what benefits can be obtained."

Li Kaigu suddenly said: "So that's the case." Di Renjie was already quick-witted, more than ordinary people, and Di Chun had been by his side since he was a child, and he knew each other well. The two masters and servants often knew each other without talking nonsense. He and Hu Luchong secretly admired. "Di Chun knew about your lord's temper a long time ago, so naturally he wouldn't let Hou Sizhi bother you." Li Yuanfang laughed. Di Chun turned around and said with a simple smile: "Not to mention anything else, Lai Junchen and others are notorious, and they framed the master before. Although I dare not act recklessly, but I decide to drive him away. I don't think the master will blame him."

Di Renjie nodded, smiled without saying a word. Hu Luchong finally couldn't help but said: "Master Wei Dao has handled thousands of cases, and none of them has been wronged. What he has heard and seen today is indeed a well-deserved reputation." Here Li Kaigu had already sat at the dinner table, and had pulled Di Chun to sit with him earlier, Di Renjie was delighted that he had a bright and cheerful nature, and he was very indifferent to worldly etiquette, and seeing that Hu Lvchong and Li Yuanfang were in the same spirit, he was also very happy in his heart, For a while Li Kaigu and the others were drinking happily. Although the food on the table was not particular, it was enjoyable.

Because everyone was concerned about the matter of Yi Que, the meal was eaten quickly, and the case of the East Palace was settled. Both Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang felt that the exhaustion of the past few days was swept away. Guan Ji, however, was also very excited, and had no intention of saying goodbye and going home at all, thinking that Yique was only twenty or thirty miles away from Luoyang City, so he just chased Hu Lv and asked, how to get there? Hu Luchong looked at Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, and said with a wry smile: "Even if the adults don't ask, how can I not tell? It's just that I know very little. The words passed down from my father's generation originally asked me to find the descendants of the Gao family first." , to make another plan.”

Di Renjie smiled and said: "It's okay, just tell me what you know - now that An Jinzang is seriously injured, it's not good to bother others, let's take a look first, if it's really impossible, it's not too late." Hu Lvchong nodded and said: "Yes. It is said that my ancestors and Gao Changgong found the entrance after being guided by a craftsman who carved Buddha statues. The combination of the knife and the mirror is the key to opening the entrance. In troubled times, there are only a few words passed down to future generations, "Yique Xishan, the magic method of the lotus, and the first tutuo". Embarrassment: "I have also thought about it over the years, 'Yique Xishan' is understandable, 'Lotus magic, the first Tudor' should be related to Buddhism, there are many Buddhist caves on Xishan, I have visited those Buddha statues, but I have no idea; I am very lazy, anyway, there is no news of Gao's descendants, so I just put this matter aside and relax."

Li Kaigu sighed: "It's a pity that the Moon Essence Sword followed you for nothing." Hu Luchong spread his hands, his face full of disapproval. Li Yuanfang looked amused, and thought to herself that the two of them would be lively together. Di Renjie pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "It seems that the entrance is in the grottoes on the west mountain. The lotus flower was originally introduced to the Central Plains with Buddhism, and it is a symbolic flower of Buddhism. It is often seen in the sculptures of Buddhist caves in temples; One' refers to the great disciple of Sakyamuni, the Venerable Maha Kasyapa, who has a high status. According to records, the Buddha once gave him half a seat, and sometimes he sat opposite the Buddha to preach. After the Buddha died, Maha Kassapa presided over For the first time, he assembled the Tripitaka and was entrusted by the Tathagata to pass on the Dafa to the future Buddha Maitreya. He shouldered the important task of passing on the Buddhadharma to the world forever, so his statue often stands beside the Buddha. ——It just takes some effort to get rid of those Search in the cave."

Li Yuanfang said: "I have heard from my humble official that there are many Buddhist caves on the west mountain of Yique, and there are quite a few statues of lotus flowers and Venerable Kasyapa." Hu Lvchong also said: "If you want to find them one by one, I'm afraid it's not easy." Di Renjie said with a smile: "We only need to look for the Buddhist caves built during the Wei and Qi dynasties. After the Northern Qi Dynasty, from the Sui Dynasty to the current dynasty, there is no need to check."
