A knife in love

Chapter 3088

Cai Ting was transferred from Shandong Qingzhou Prefecture to Guangdong five years ago, and served as the governor of Guangdong. He loved the people like his son and handled things fairly.Master Chengxin went to Zhenhai Temple to be the abbot. He is superb in Buddhism. The reputation made Zhenhai Temple more and more famous.

During Cai Ting's private visit on Weifu, he heard the name of Master Chengxin mentioned by the people, and he was quite curious.Later, when Cai Teng went to the capital to do business, when passing through Yashan Town, he specially went to Zhenhai Temple to practice Zen, and he hit it off with Master Chengxin and became friends.The two often exchange letters and talk about scriptures and Taoism, and they are very harmonious.A few months ago, Zhengyi came to Zhenhai Temple and moved Yashan with his skill of playing the piano.When the local officials went to the governor's yamen to do business, they told Cai Ting that there was a strange monk in Zhenhai Temple.Cai Jue was born as a Jinshi, and he is very fond of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He heard that Zhengyi's skill in playing the piano is unparalleled in the world. The yamen played the piano and discussed the Tao.As soon as he played a piano in front of Cai Ting, Cai Ting was greatly impressed.Afterwards, Cai Teng invited Zhengyi to the Cai Mansion several times, and the two formed a long-lasting friendship, which can be called a good story.

Although Master Chengxin knew that Cai Jue valued Zhengyi quite a lot, he did not expect that the governor would come to Zhenhai Temple suddenly. He was startled and hurriedly said to Zhengyi: "Master Cai suddenly came to Zhenhai Temple. What's the big deal. Although Junior Brother Chengjing has excellent medical skills, you are seriously injured and must be rested carefully. This old monk will go to greet Master Cai right away, and you can stay in the meditation room to rest."

Zhengyi shook his head, and said: "Master Cai is the governor of Guangdong, and he came to Zhenhai Temple in person. If the poor monk does not come out to greet him, even if Mr. Cai is upright, those dirty officials under him will definitely feel jealous. I'm afraid it will be bad for Zhenhai Temple. Master Abbot, wait a moment, wait for the poor monk to change his clothes, and let's go to greet him together."

Master Chengxin saw that Zhengyi had made up his mind, and thought that Cai Ting valued Zhengyi very much, so he came to Zhenhai Temple this time to discuss scriptures and Taoism with Zhengyi.If Zheng Yi didn't meet in person, it would be unfavorable for Zhenhai Temple if he won the governor's heart.Thinking of this, he could only nod his head, and no longer tried to persuade and stop him.

After Zhengyi changed his monk's robes, he walked out of the meditation room hand in hand with Master Chengxin, and walked straight to the main hall in the front courtyard.His two ears were forcibly pulled out. Although the injuries were not fatal, the situation was critical at the time.Master Chengxin grabbed his body and rushed out of the black pine forest desperately, and fled all the way back to Zhenhai Temple. He didn't care to bandage Zhengyi's wound, but Zhengyi's wound kept bleeding. If it wasn't for returning to Zhenhai Temple, Master Chengjing Immediately heal his wounds to stop the bleeding, I'm afraid he will lose his blood early in the morning and die.At this time, when he walked out of the meditation room, he felt weak all over his body, and almost fell to the ground.Fortunately, Master Chengxin saw the opportunity very quickly, and hurriedly supported him, and then called two monks to support Zhengyi, and walked slowly towards the main hall.

When he approached the main hall in the front courtyard, Zheng turned his head and said to the two monks who supported him: "Thank you two. The poor monk can walk on his own, so I don't need to bother you for help."

Master Chengxin saw Zheng's face was pale, without the slightest trace of blood, and his body was trembling slightly, he was quite worried.It's just that Master Chengxin knew that Zhengyi didn't want Cai Ting to see him being helped into the hall, so he let the two monks back away, so he nodded helplessly and waved to the two monks.The two monks released Zhengyi, took three steps back respectfully, put their hands together, and silently recited the Buddha's name.

Zhengyi took a deep breath, managed to stand still, then turned his head and said to Master Chengxin: "Master Fang Zhang, let's go see Master Cai right away."

Master Chengxin nodded, and walked towards the entrance of the main hall with Zhengyi.I saw more than a dozen men standing in front of the main hall gate. Although they were wearing the same clothes as ordinary people, they stood up straight, their eyes were full of light, and they guarded the palace gate tightly.Cai Teng had been to Zhenhai Temple before, and Master Chengxin was also invited by Cai Teng to the governor's yamen to drink tea and talk about Zen. He knew that the men in front of the main hall were the guards around Cai Teng, and they all had extraordinary martial arts skills.So he walked up to him, clasped his hands together, and said to the guards: "Amitabha Buddha. This old man calmed down. I didn't know that Mr. Cai came to our temple. We are late to welcome you. Please report to all your lords."

Just as Master Chengyi finished speaking, someone in the hall laughed and said: "I take the liberty to come to visit and disturb the two eminent monks Qingxiu, please don't blame the two eminent monks."

The man walked out of the hall while speaking.I saw that this person was wearing a gray robe and a square scarf on his head. Although it wasn't hot, he was shaking a folding fan with his right hand.This man was about 50 years old, with a fair face and a long beard fluttering under his chin. It was Cai Ting, the governor of Guangdong, who had arrived.

Master Cheng Xin clasped his hands together, and said: "Lord Cai came to our temple, but I couldn't go far to welcome him, so I hope Master Cai will forgive me."

Cai Ting laughed, and said: "Master, you are serious. Cai happened to pass by Zhenhai Temple during his business trip to Yashan, and came to visit two eminent monks by the way. He was an uninvited guest, and he was too abrupt. Please forgive me, Master."

When Cai Jue said this, he realized that Shenzheng was wrapped in a white cloth, and there were many blood stains on the white cloth, his face was even more pale as paper, and he looked quite embarrassed. Then he opened his mouth and said, "Chan Master Zhengyi is injured?"

Zhengyi forced a smile, put his hands together, and said: "The poor monk pays homage to Mr. Cai. It's just a small injury, but Mr. Cai laughed."

As soon as the words were finished, a gray-robed man beside Cai Jue suddenly said: "The great monk's head was severely injured, presumably it was caused by an accidental fall or bumping into something. Could it be that someone dares to go to Zhenhai Temple to make trouble? "

Master Chengxin recognized this person as Gao Wanli, Cai Ting's personal bodyguard, with extremely high martial arts skills, and together with Cai Ting's master Qu Rentian, he was Cai Ting's most trusted confidant.I heard that if the magistrates and county magistrates in various parts of Guangdong ask Cai Ting to do things, they often have to ask Gao Wanli and Qu Rentian to deal with them, otherwise the matter will most likely fail to be done, which shows that this person is a very difficult person to mess with.

As soon as Gao Wanli finished speaking, a middle-aged scribe with an obscene appearance behind Cai Jue nodded and said, "Brother Gao is right. Zen Master Zhengyi was seriously injured. The person who attacked him was vicious and hurt the Zen Master's vitals. He must not be a good person. "

The speaker was Qu Rentian, Cai Ting's master.Zheng Yi went to the Governor's Yamen several times, so he naturally got to know this person.After Dian Rentian finished speaking, Zhengyi smiled wryly, and said: "Mr. Qu's words are very true. The person who hurt the poor monk is not a good person, but an evil ghost from hell."
