Chapter 466: Tang Monk starts killing people
Yin Wenjiao tried her best to persuade her, but Liu Hong finally agreed to wait until the next day to send the little bastard into the river.
The next day, Yin Wenjiao put little Xuanzang into a small wooden basin with tears in her eyes, and let him drift away...
In the blink of an eye, eighteen years passed.
Xuanzang (the future Tang Sanzang/Tang Monk) finally recognized his mother Yin Wenjiao, and took a letter from his mother to the residence of Prime Minister Yin on the East Street of the Imperial City.
Xuanzang met Prime Minister Yin Kaishan, and through his mother's letters, the Prime Minister learned in detail that Chen Guangrui went to Jiangzhou to take office, was killed by Liu Hong, and that his daughter had been occupied by Liu Hong for more than ten years.
When the prime minister and his wife learned about this, they were naturally sad and angry.
The next day, Yin Kaishan entered the court and reported the matter to the king of Tang in detail.
Ask the king of Tang to immediately send troops to destroy Liu Hong and other bandits.
When Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, learned about this, he was also very angry. He sent 60,000 Yulin troops to the Imperial Guard and sent them to Prime Minister Yin to supervise the troops.
Yin Kaishan went out to the court with the order and ordered his troops to march towards Jiangzhou.
Walking at dawn and staying overnight, the stars are setting and the birds are flying, and before I know it, I have arrived in Jiangzhou.
Before dawn, Prime Minister Yin surrounded Liu Hong's Yamen and captured Liu Hong in his sleep.
Because Yin Wenjiao had been occupied by Liu Hong for more than ten years, she felt that she was too embarrassed to see her father again, so she would hang herself.
When Xuanzang learned of this, he hurriedly rescued his mother and knelt down in the tunnel:
“The child and grandpa led their troops here to avenge their father.
Now that the thief has been captured, why is the mother seeking death?
Mother, if you die, what should I do if you call your son? "
Prime Minister Yin Kaishan also went to the government office to persuade: "My good daughter, after you die, do you want your father and your mother to be given away by a white-haired person and a black-haired person?"
As he spoke, Yin Kaishan also became quite sad.
When Yin Wenjiao heard the words between her son and her old father, she burst into tears and said:
“Women, they all end up the same.
But after my husband was killed, I committed myself as a thief...
Just because I am pregnant with my husband's blood, I have no choice but to live in shame.
Now that my son has grown up, my father has sent troops to Jiangzhou to avenge my husband.
But how can a daughter like me meet my father?
I only have one death..."
Yin Kaishan hurriedly said:
"You, my daughter, cannot be blamed for this, you did this because you had no choice!
You endured the humiliation and finally gave birth to the Guangrui bloodline. How can this be considered a shame? ! "
As they talked, father and daughter Yin Kaishan and Yin Wenjiao hugged each other and cried.
Xuanzang's face was also full of sadness.
Yin Kaishan wiped his old tears and said:
"You two, don't worry about this. I have captured the thief today. Now let's go and deal with this thief."
After saying this, Yin Kaishan immediately got up, took Yin Wenjiao and Xuanzang to the execution ground.
At this time, Jiangzhou Tongzhi also sent out sentries, captured the water thief Li Biao, and escorted him here.
Prime Minister Yin Kaishan was overjoyed when he saw this, and ordered his army to imprison Liu Hong and Li Biao.
Each of them was beaten with a hundred sticks, and a confession was obtained, which revealed the conspiracy to kill Chen Guangrui more than ten years ago.
Then, he nailed Li Biao to a wooden donkey, pushed him to the city hall, chopped him into pieces with a thousand knives, and showed his head to the public.
He then escorted Liu Hong to the place where Chen Guangrui was killed before the Hongjiang Ferry. The prime minister, Yin Wenjiao and Xuanzang went to the riverside to pay homage to him.
Liu Hong was beheaded alive, his heart and liver were dug out, and a memorial ceremony was held in memory of Chen Guangrui. A memorial inscription was also burned.
Yin Kaishan, Yin Wenjiao and Xuanzang looked at the rolling river water and cried bitterly when they remembered Chen Guangrui who was killed in Shen Jiang.
Xuanzang not only did not feel anything wrong with Liu Hong being cut into pieces and having his heart and liver ripped out, but he felt that this was not enough to vent his hatred.
This situation was very surprising to Xuanzang.
Generally speaking, eminent monks are compassionate and do not kill living beings...
This scene alarmed the Shui Mansion.
Patrolling Yaksha saw the sacrificial text and presented it to the Dragon King.
After reading the memorial text, the Dragon King immediately sent Bie Wushuai to invite Chen Guangrui to the main hall.
"Dragon King, why did you summon me?" Chen Guangrui asked curiously.
The Dragon King laughed loudly and said:
"Sir, congratulations! Congratulations!
Now your wife, son and father-in-law are all paying homage to you by the river.
I will send you back to life today.
I also have one wish-fulfilling pearl, two walking beads, ten ends of twisted silk, and a bright pearl and jade belt for you.
Today you can be together as husband and wife and as a family. "
Chen Guangrui was extremely happy when he heard the Dragon King's words. He knelt down and thanked him again and again.
The Dragon King ordered the patrolling Yaksha to send Guang Rui's body out of the river mouth to resurrect him.
Yaksha took the order and left.
By the river.
After Yin Wenjiao cried and paid homage to her husband, she wanted to dive into the water again to die. Fortunately, Xuanzang held her back with all his strength.
At this moment, a dead body was suddenly seen floating on the water and approaching the river bank.
Yin Wenjiao hurriedly looked forward, and she recognized at a glance that it was her husband's body.
Yin Wenjiao couldn't help it and burst into tears.
Everyone came to watch and fished out the corpse floating in the river.
Suddenly, the floating corpse started to move.
I saw Chen Guangrui stretching his hands and feet and slowly turning his body. Then, he suddenly stood up and sat down.
Everyone who saw this scene was horrified.
Chen Guangrui opened his eyes and saw his wife Yin Wenjiao, his father-in-law Yin Chengxiang, and a young monk with delicate features, all crying beside him.
Chen Guangrui asked curiously: "Why are you here?"
When Yin Wenjiao saw her husband come back from the dead, she was surprised and happy and said:
"Back then you were killed by the thief Liu Hong and drowned in the river. Later I gave birth to a son. Fortunately, the elder of Jinshan Temple rescued him and raised him up, and he came to meet me.
I taught our son to look for grandpa. After my father learned about the matter, he reported it to the court and led troops to Jiangzhou to capture the thief. Just now, I took the heart and liver of the thief Liu Hong alive and offered sacrifices to you, my husband.
But I don't know why you came back to life?"
Chen Guangrui said: "This is all because of the golden carp that you and I bought and released at Wanhua Store."
Yin Wenjiao said curiously: "Golden carp?"
Yin Kaishan and Xuanzang also looked at Chen Guangrui curiously.
Chen Guangrui continued:
"That golden carp is the Dragon King of this river and sea.
When Liu Hong pushed me into the river, it was the Dragon King who saved me.
Just now, the Dragon King gave me back my soul and gave me treasures, which I carry with me now.
I didn't expect that you gave birth to a son for me, and that my father-in-law would lead troops to avenge me.
I, Chen Guangrui, have finally come to an end after all the hardships. This is really a great joy in life!"
After hearing Chen Guangrui's words, the officials accompanying him came to congratulate him.
The Prime Minister Yin Kaishan ordered a banquet to thank the officials.
After thanking them, Yin Kaishan led his army to Wanhuadian.
Chen Guangrui took his son to meet his old mother.
After a reunion, Chen Guangrui and his family followed Yin Kaishan and set off back to the capital to reunite with their family.
The next morning, Yin Kaishan reported the whole story to the King of Tang in detail and recommended Chen Guangrui's talent for great use.
The King of Tang approved the petition and made Chen Guangrui a scholar to govern the country.
Xuanzang decided to practice Zen in Hongfu Temple.
The worst was Yin Wenjiao, who committed suicide...
The next thing was that after the soul of the King of Tang Li Shimin traveled to the underworld, Judge Cui asked the King of Tang (Tang Taizong) to hold a water and land meeting after returning to the world to save those lonely souls.
At the same time, holding a water and land meeting also allowed Li Shimin to be liberated and reduce his guilt.
Wei Zheng recommended Master Xuanzang to preside over the water and land meeting because Master Xuanzang was the reincarnation of the golden cicada and had a noble character, was familiar with Buddhist scriptures, and had a high level of practice in Buddhism.
After that, everyone recommended Master Xuanzang to preside over the water and land meeting.
Not long after the water and land meeting, the journey to the West officially began...
