Chapter 22 The Mystery of Life Experience

It is rumored that there is a face-changing technique in Buddhism, which takes the skin of young animals, boils it in boiling water for five hours, and then makes it into the appearance of the person you want to change the face, and puts it on the face.

This is an ancient Buddhist method, originally intended to heal people who were disfigured during the war, but today, some people imagine using this method to assassinate the emperor across the sea, which is really ridiculous.As for the ten precepts of Buddhism, the first precept is not to kill, but this ancient method is to take the lives of young animals, which is really sad.

Seeing that Zhou Ziyan had already realized his true identity, Wuyou was still obsessed with his obsession, and sneered: "Wuyou doesn't know what the major general said."

Zhou Ziyan walked over, took down the blade of Chen Ying that was on Wuyou's throat, pinched Wuyou's chin, looked around, and said with a sneer, "Don't tell me, Master Wuchen's fake face is really real. Like. I’ve heard about the ancient Buddhist face-changing technique for a long time. When I saw it today, it’s really extraordinary. But it’s a pity, when I questioned Master Wuchen’s “heart of reverence”, that momentary stare in your eyes betrayed me. about you."

Chen Ying on the side asked directly: "Ziyan, do you mean that this person in front of you is not the real Master Wuyou? Then who is he?"

Zhou Ziyan wiped the finger that pinched Wuyou's chin in distaste, and said with a smile: "Chen Ying, you are really stupid, I have called him by his name since I entered the door, you still don't know him Who is it?"

With an unbelievable expression on Chen Ying's face, she opened her mouth and said, "Could it be that he is Wuchen, the first disciple of Master Wuzhi, the former abbot? But didn't he not attend the blessing ceremony because he was infected with the cold? Then where did the real Master Wuzhi go? ? Could it be that Wuchen and Wuyou are twins who look exactly alike?"

Chen Ying's habit of asking random questions when she doesn't understand has annoyed Zhou Ziyan countless times since she was a child. Under the fake face of Master Wuchen.

Qing Huan tore off the seamless fake face, only to see a handsome and feminine face with red lips and white skin, but in an instant it turned into a face with yellow lips, black skin and eagle eyebrows and mouse eyes .Everyone was dumbfounded, this ancient Buddhist method is too miraculous, it just replaced an extremely ugly person with a handsome and beautiful person without any flaws.

Wu Chen felt ashamed, looked at Zhou Ziyan, and asked coldly, "How did you find out?"

Zhou Ziyan dragged his chin, smiled, and said, "It's not difficult. The momentary reaction of people's eyes is the most real, and they can't lie. The person who talked to me about the way of Buddhism yesterday was indeed the real Master Wuyou. Knowing what the real Master Wuyou said to me, I was just stabbed by you, and I casually asked about the "awe" that Master Wuyou said to me yesterday, but I knew it for a moment, in your eyes I got a little puzzled look, so I guessed that you are not the real Master Wuyou. In addition, when I was chatting with my brother-in-law, he liked to tell me some strange things, yes I have heard a little about this ancient Buddhist method, so I guessed that you must use this technique to pretend to be Master Wuyou."

When Chen Ying slammed the blade against her throat, Wu Chen was never afraid at all, but now Zhou Ziyan's eyes and words are full of a faint chill, which made the original heart like Mount Tai. Dustless, suddenly frightened.

So Wuchen didn't dare to look at Zhou Ziyan at this moment, he just lowered his head, looked at the ground, and asked with a bit of hesitation: "How do you know my Dharma name?"

Zhou Ziyan touched the red string on his wrist unconsciously, and said indifferently: "This is an accident, and I guessed it. Yesterday I went to the main hall to see the ever-burning lantern, and a little novice accidentally mentioned his Although the faces and appearances of the two senior brothers are worlds apart, their tall and thin bodies are surprisingly alike. Just looking at the backs of the two people, sometimes they will make mistakes. I guess this little novice should be the little brother of the former abbot, Master Wuzhi. Disciple, Wu Yao. Master Wuchen, is that right?”

Wu Yao let her own parents throw her at the gate of Tianze Temple when she was still in her infancy. Probably the war had just ended in those years, and Daliang had only been built for a few years. Many ordinary people couldn’t afford to raise a few children. The street is sold to traffickers.Master Wuzhi saw that he was young and pitiful, so he entered the monastery and became a disciple under his seat.Although Wuchen has always been dissatisfied with Wuyou, he loves his little brother Wu Yao very much. Every time he goes down the mountain, he always brings him some delicious and fun things. Light a lamp of peace for the little junior in the room, and pray that the little junior can grow up happily and carefree in the future.

But fate is tricky and the way of nature is ridiculous. It was a casual sentence from his beloved junior brother that became the key to revealing his identity.

Wu Chen suddenly smiled infatuatedly, and sneered: "So what about practicing Buddhism? What about my Buddha's compassion? But there are some things that you don't care about, and the Buddha can honor your wishes, hahaha..."

Zhou Ziyan was baffled by Wuchen's words, frowned and said in a low voice: "Say, why did you assassinate the emperor, I never believe that you did it to make Master Wuyou guilty. If you succeed in the assassination, people will still catch you in the end. After a long time, your true identity will definitely be found out. I guess it is true that you assassinated someone, and it is false to find someone to confess your crime."

Wu Chen's assassination of the emperor has become a fact. Although Chen Ying and Zhou Ziyan pressed him strictly, he still didn't tell the truth about why he wanted to assassinate the emperor, and finally committed suicide by biting his tongue.

Zhou Ziyan looked at the dead Wuchen, and he got angry for no reason and said: If Chen Ying was not here, according to Daliang's rules, he could not torture the prisoner severely, otherwise he would have asked Qing Huan and Ting Lan to find out the truth. The real reason behind Chen's assassination.It's a pity that people have already belched before the question is asked.

Zhou Ziyan shook his hands and was about to leave Jiechitang, Qing Huan and Ting Lan saw their master was about to leave, and hurriedly followed.

Only Chen Ying asked Zhou Ziyan's back loudly: "Hey, Ziyan, you haven't said where Master Wuyou is yet."

Zhou Ziyan was about to step out of the gate of Jiechi Hall, but he paused for a step, but he didn't look back, and said with a stern look: "Didn't it be false to ask someone to take the blame, Wuchen wouldn't really kill himself Junior Brother, Master Wuyou must have been knocked unconscious by Wuchen and locked in his room. Young Master, I was injured and I need to go back to rest, so you can send someone to look for it yourself."

Chen Ying, the monk of Zhang Er, couldn't figure it out. Zhou Ziyan's face was obviously fine just now, but how could he change it suddenly.He had no choice but to point to the subordinates around him, and ordered: "You guys follow me to Master Wuyou's room to have a look."

Sure enough, Wuyou really taught Wuchen to stun and pass out in his room.It's just that after hearing about the changes of the day and knowing that my senior brother is dead, I didn't go to the bottom of why my senior brother framed me, but went to the Jiechi Hall alone to chant sutras for my senior brother to send him off.

That night, a wind suddenly blew up on Qingwu Mountain, and the lights in Tianze Temple flickered on and off with the wind, making people look at the ever-burning lanterns and peace lanterns from the outside, like will-o'-the-wisps, which made one's heart palpitate.

A man in a cloak stopped at the door of Zhou Ziyan's room, panting heavily as if he had traveled a long distance.Qing Huan and Ting Lan, the guards at the gate, hurriedly invited people in respectfully.

The visitor took off the cloak on his head and was about to salute, Zhou Ziyan quickly stood up to support him, and said, "Master Jiang, there is no need to be polite. I asked you to secretly investigate Du Yanlan's relationship, do you have any clues? "

This person is Yin Jiang Yiming from Fengtian Mansion.Zhou Ziyan is a person who leaves everything ready. At the beginning, he thought that there was someone behind Du Yanlan, so he told Jiang Yiming what he really thought in his heart, and the two planned to pretend to let Du Yanlan go to find out who was behind the scenes. The black hand sent people to investigate everyone who had been in contact with Du Yanlan.

Although Jiang Yiming's mind is sometimes inflexible, he can't think about problems.But he is upright and doesn't like flattery, that's why he has been in the position of Fengtian Fu Yin for so long without being promoted.But because he is a disciple of Chen Yu, the Minister of Rites, he never came down.

Jiang Yiming's character is simple and honest at best, but lacking in heart at worst.However, Mr. Jiang is straightforward and sincere in making friends. Since the last case of Ruan Zhi's murder in Wangyue Tower, Jiang Yiming has recognized Zhou Ziyan's character, and now he is determined to be a pair of best friends who forget the years.Zhou Ziyan was also straightforward. After all, Jiang Yiming was not bad except for his lack of heart. In addition, he was the governor of Fengtian Prefecture in the capital. He would be asked to help in many places in the future, so Zhou Ziyan asked Mr. Jiang to investigate Du Yan in detail without hesitation. Lan's relationship.

Jiang Yiming helped Zhou Ziyan's hand, sat down with him, and said slowly: "The major general is right. After I sent someone to investigate carefully, Du Yanlan's relationship is indeed complicated. Yiming found out that Du Yan Lan is actually the daughter that Liu Qingyan, the Seventh Lady of the Gao Mansion, secretly carried away, and Du Yanlan seems to have a relationship with a monk in Tianze Temple, which should be a lover relationship. Here, this is the third search, from Du Yan The money bag found in the hidden compartment of Lan's room."

Jiang Yiming said, and handed the money bag embroidered with the gate of Tianze Temple to Zhou Ziyan's hand.Women embroider money bags to give to their loved ones, and the money bag embroidered with the gate of Tianze Temple is clearly inscribed with two words: Wuchen.

Now it made sense, Du Yanlan had nothing to do with the monks of Tianze Temple, so as soon as he came out of the prison in Fengtian Mansion, he went to Qingwu Mountain and entered Tianze Temple.As for Du Yanlan's mother, Liu Qingyan, in the final analysis, she was murdered by the current emperor's decree. Wu Chen assassinated the emperor in order to avenge Du Yanlan's mother's death.Although Du Yanlan has not been found in the temple yet, she must have been hidden somewhere in the temple by Jiao Wuchen.

But Zhou Ziyan still has two doubts in his heart, one is Wuchen really that mysterious person?But according to Qing Huan and Ting Lan, this mysterious man wearing a mask has high martial arts skills, no less than Qing Huan and Ting Lan. Although Wu Chen's assassination of the emperor was powerful, it was just an ordinary eight-foot man. The strength that should be there is definitely not due to the profound skill.Second, with Du Yanlan's sharp and arrogant personality, how could he like a Wuchen who lacks looks?All of this is another cloud of invisible fog.

Zhou Ziyan was frowning slightly and thinking, Jiang Yiming suddenly interrupted his deep thinking, and said in a low voice: "By the way, Major General, this investigation of Du Yanlan's relationship made Yiming accidentally discover something .”

Zhou Ziyan came back to his senses, raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Yiming replied in a good manner: "Du Sanniang, the former boss of Wangyuelou, is actually a native of Qiangwa, and it is very likely that Qiangwa sent him to Daliang as a spy. Do you think Du Yanlan has already asked Du Sanniang to instigate rebellion?" Did it work for the Qiangwa Kingdom?"

Zhou Ziyan's brows frowned even deeper. This news undoubtedly added a mess to his already confused train of thought.But the most important thing right now is to find Du Yanlan as soon as possible, as long as she finds Du Yanlan, Zhou Ziyan is very confident that Qing Huan and Ting Lan can pry her open, and then everything will be clear.

Only then did Zhou Ziyan slowly speak: "These are just our guesses. The most important thing right now is to find Du Yanlan in the temple as soon as possible. We will know when we ask."

Jiang Yiming got into Qingwu Mountain through a few clever government servants from Fengtian Mansion, otherwise he would never have passed the level of guards at the foot of Qingwu Mountain by himself.Jiang Yiming saw that he had been here for a while, and it was time to go back. He was about to say goodbye to Zhou Ziyan, when he suddenly remembered the letter he had met with Mo Bo, the housekeeper of the General's Mansion during the day, and he told him to hand over to Zhou Ziyan himself.Jiang Yiming hurriedly took out the letter from his arms, and handed it to Zhou Ziyan while talking.

Jiang Yiming originally thought that this was an urgent letter, and he couldn't wait until Zhou Ziyan returned to the house to read it, so he had to hand it to Zhou Ziyan himself as soon as possible.

But when Zhou Ziyan took the letter, he smiled and said, "It's only been a few days, and the brat sent another letter."

Jiang Yiming looked at Zhou Ziyan's smirking face, and wondered in his heart: Isn't it just a letter from his sworn brother?Why are you so happy?There was also Mo Bo who entrusted him in every possible way that it was an order from the major general that he must hand over the letter with a poplar tree painted on the envelope immediately.

After Jiang Yiming left, Zhou Ziyan opened the letter with the picture of a poplar tree like protecting a treasure.
