Chapter 219 Tiger Mighty Marquis
The person speaking is Doctor Fu Yi. He is basically a decoration in the civil servant team. He usually doesn't have any opinions on national affairs in the court. Liu Zhuang's new king ascended the throne and did not intend to easily replace the team of the late emperor. He originally thought that he would be the first to release Fu Yi after the mourning period expired. Unexpectedly, even civil and military officials in the court could not solve the problem. He, a small doctor, knew it.
The monks from India have been here to preach for decades. Except for the former residence of Liuzhuang, other civil and military officials have seen monks with shaved heads wandering around the streets of Luoyang, either begging for alms or spreading their causal cycle to the good men and women. However, these officials have never had contact with the monks and know what Western Buddha is.
At this time, the people in the Han territory still believed in the main alchemists. Lao Zhi said that since Emperor Wu of Han abolished the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, even alchemists have disappeared for a hundred years. The alchemists have just revived, and now it is the time to prosper. Who would take care of the religion passed down from this foreign country? Only idle people like Fu Yi have the leisure to inquire about a group of bald gods and Buddhas.
According to Dr. Fu Yi's description, the golden giant and Western Buddha in Liu Zhuang's dream were very imaginative. In order to confirm whether it was related to the Buddha, Liu Zhuang sent Fu Yi to the area where monks gathered in Luoyang City and asked for portraits of Western Buddhas to return to the palace.
When the portrait of the Western Buddha unfolded in front of Liu Zhuang, the new king was stunned. At that moment, he pointed to the Western Buddha on the portrait and said tremblingly: "It's this golden giant. What I saw in my dream is this golden giant. Fu Yi, just follow what you said..."
While speaking, Liu Zhuang's eyes swept around the faces of all officials, and finally selected Cai Yin and Qin Jing among the officials of the rites.
Just when Liu Zhuang recognized that the Western Buddha was the golden giant in his dream, near the palace wall behind him, four people who could not see anyone were looking at the new king helplessly. These four were Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the two monsters,
Among the four 'men', Gui Bugui and his cheap son Bai Wuqiu squatted on the ground, leaning against the palace wall, talking nonsense about Liu Zhuang's dispatch of envoys to the Western Regions.
Bai Wuqiu looked at Liu Zhuang who was a little excited and said to his 'bird father': "Old guy, I seem to understand. This is someone pretending to be a ghost inside. First let the emperor dream, and then ask him to send someone to Tianzhu to invite the bald monks to come. This time, the bald monks are making trouble. Your son is right, right?"
"It's right, but it's hard to say whether it's a real monk," said the old guy after glanced at Wu Mian, who had no expression. "I understand one thing too, too. What did that person want to do when he walked down step by step. It seems that we have to stay in the palace for a few more days. I'm waiting to see how he should act in the later drama..."
A dream of the new king disrupted Wu Mian and Gui Bugui's plan. They originally planned to leave Luoyang after Liu Xiu died, and they stayed for a few days before leaving the Luoyang area. They went around and had a walk to Shouchun City. Now it seems that they would have to stay here for a while. At present, Gui Bugui used magic to teach Peng Huayin the dream, allowing him to continue practicing magic at home. It may take them two years to go back.
After everything was arranged, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others bought a not-so-large property near the palace. It was better to wait here than staying in the inn every day. However, before Cai Yin and Qin Jing brought back the Buddhist scriptures of Western Buddhas, several other people visited in advance.
One evening two months later, they had just finished dinner and were discussing whether to go to the palace to dissolve food, when a knock on the door suddenly came from the door. Then they heard the sound of a newly hired butler rushing to the door. After a while, the butler trotted to the front of several people and said with a smile: "Several masters, there is a man outside who claims to be Lord Huweihou, who said he is old friends with him. He came to see him..."
The knocker hid his breath. After listening to the butler's words, Gui Bugui beat him up and said to the butler: "Huwei Hou... This is the name, nickname or title,"
The housekeeper replied, "It looks like a title, and there is also the fire paint of the marquis on the carriage parked at the door."
When Gui Bugui Huan wanted to ask a few more questions, he saw an old man in his sixties with white hair and beard walking in from the gate. After approaching, he said directly to Gui Bugui: "No need to come out and invite us. Let's come in by ourselves. Old man, I originally wanted to show off my Huwei Marquis's majesty, and you were disappointed..."
The old man who spoke was Yang Hu who had been hiding in the palace and secretly guarding Liu Xiu. He also had an identity as a disciple of the great sorcerer Xi Yingzhen. In fact, the identity behind him made the old guy more afraid.
Because of the elixir of immortality, the old guy had some friction with Yang Hu. This time he returned to Luoyang and wanted to avoid him. However, even on the day of Liu Xiu's death, Yang Hu did not appear. He had to forget him. Unexpectedly, seeing him at this time, looking at Yang Hu's face full of spring breeze, it seemed that he had forgotten his unhappiness at that time.
After all, it almost killed someone back then. In addition, Yang Hu's alchemy furnace was still not returned in his hands. When I saw Lao Yanghu again, Gui Bugui was rarely uneasy and laughed dryly, "Old man, I just said that Hu Weihou is familiar. It turns out that Mr. Yanghu, you have already been named a marquis. It's a joyful congratulations. Among the colleagues in practicing Taoism, Mr. Yanghu is already the first person..."
When Yang Hu appeared this time, he was in a good mood. After laughing, he said to Gui Bugui: "You don't need to praise him. I know that you were the king at the beginning. I, a little Hu Weihou, was the last emperor who was granted the title of the emperor to see Yang Hu's old age and looked pitiful."
Yang Hu was a marquis named after Liu Xiu's death a month before his death. At that time, Emperor Guangwu looked fine, but he didn't seem to die soon. After Yang Hu was granted the title, he got his former Buddha Shi Yingzhen appeared in the desert of the Northern Huns. The person who was circulating the news said that he had a nose and eyes. After Yang Hu learned about it, he immediately sued his family like Liu Xiu and took his disciples to the desert to find Xi Yingzhen's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, he was still one step away. When he arrived, Xi Yingzhen had already left the desert. Then they rushed to the place where Xi Yingzhen might have settled. After searching for several months, they did not find the whereabouts of the great sorcerer. Just as they were waiting to continue searching, they suddenly encountered envoys sent by Liu Zhuang to envoy countries in the Western Regions. Only then did they realize that Liu Xiu had passed away.
After the master and apprentice rushed back, he went to the palace to pay homage to the new king. However, Liu Zhuang's temper was different from that of the previous emperor. He directly met Yang Hu's master and apprentice, and said a few words, but did not express that the master and apprentice would continue to stay in the palace to protect him.
At this time, Liu Zhuang was thinking about greeting Western Buddhist scriptures. It was already for the sake of the late emperor to summon Yanghu and his disciples. In this way, Yanghu and his disciples had no intention of protecting the new king. After coming out of the palace, they were about to return to the mansion to rest, but suddenly they saw Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Rensan walking by on the street. Yang Hu followed them all the time behind and saw them entering the mansion. After remembering the address here, Yang Hu and his disciples returned to their mansion and waited until the heavens came over.
After hearing what Yang Hu said, Gui Bugui's eyes narrowed, and after a smile, he said, "So coincidentally, you left the palace a month before the emperor passed away, and then you kept following the big sorcerer's butt, and you didn't catch up for several months. It's not that old man, I'm thinking about it, either the big sorcerer was deliberately avoiding you, or someone drew a circle for you and was waiting for you to jump in..."
