Chapter 32 Evil, the Curse of the Evil Buddha

"Sir, what did you find?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked up curiously, and saw a strange symbol on the base of the white jade Buddha statue in Gongsun's hand, "What is this symbol?"

"It's an ancient character." Gongsun frowned slightly, and said, "The first person to use the evil Buddha was a rebel army in the late Han Dynasty. Therefore, it was called Yingren by the Han people, this ancient character is 'Eagle', which was the symbol of the Yingren army at that time."

"Eagleman..." Zhan Zhao stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then asked, "This evil Buddha happened to be snatched from the Snake Eagle Sect by people from Mohua Palace, could it have something to do with the Snake Eagle Sect ?”

"It's possible." Bao Zheng nodded.

"Looking at the texture and craftsmanship of this jade, it should be the Thousand-handed Evil Buddha left over from the Later Han Dynasty." Gongsun turned to look at Zhan Zhaohe Baiyutang, "It is also the earliest Evil Buddha in the legend."

Surprised, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to take the evil Buddha to look at it, and asked, "Is that the first one that succeeded in cursing people, the real evil Buddha?"

Gongsun nodded, "Actually, yes."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Then it really has a lot of background, it's really the same as in the legend, can you curse people?"

Gongsun shook his head, "I'm not sure, everything is just a legend."

"No wonder the Xixia people want to snatch this evil Buddha." Bai Yutang laughed, "With it, there will be no more wars in the future. If anyone doesn't like it, just curse at the Bodhisattva." "It's just such a small evil Buddha." Can a Buddha have such a great effect?" Zhan Zhao couldn't believe it.

At this time, a young servant came up with tea at the door, Bai Yutang thought for a moment, folded his hands together and said to the Bodhisattva, "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, if you are really effective, I want to see that young servant drop the tea bowl."

After finishing talking, everyone was waiting there, the young man came in with tea, removed all the old tea on the table, replaced it with new tea, looked up, but saw everyone in the room staring at him, startled, He looked at Bao Zheng and Gongsun in puzzlement, "My lord, what else can I order?"

Bao Zheng quickly shook his head and smiled at him, "No, you can go."

The boy nodded and walked out tremblingly.

Bai Yutang shrugged, and winked at Zhan Zhao, "You're not allowed to come!"

"Whoa..."

As soon as Bai Yutang finished speaking, when the young man went out, probably because he was too flustered, he tripped over the threshold and fell there with a "bang", the tray in his hand fell off, and the tea bowl fell to the ground...

The four people in the room all opened their mouths wide at the same time, staring at him stupidly.

The boy was about to cry, he quickly squatted on the ground to pick up the tea bowl, and muttered, "Oh, what's wrong with me..."

All four people in the room looked at Bai Yutang, and Bai Yutang looked at the evil Buddha.

Gongsun was the first to wake up from the stunned state, and went out to look at the boy, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

The boy shook his head, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Bai Yutang was also very sorry, he went out to look at the boy, and he was relieved to see that he had no other injuries other than scratches on his hands.

Zhan Zhao called another servant, and took the boy to the pharmacy to dispense medicine. After sending him away, everyone was dumbfounded.

Bai Yutang returned to the room, facing the Bodhisattva, he clasped his hands together, "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, can gold fall from the sky tonight?"

Zhan Zhao tugged at him, "Come on, I'm not afraid of throwing gold at you..." Before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang covered him, "Damn cat, don't curse me, this Bodhisattva is not good Bad spirit, I'll be caught by Jin Zi...uh" before I finished speaking, Zhan Zhao covered his mouth and stared at him—I know you still say it?

Bai Yutang nodded - stop talking!

Immediately, everyone in the room fell silent, feeling that the evil Buddha on the table was covered with a strange color, which was indescribably scary.

"Ahem..." Bao Zheng coughed at the right time, and said, "The news we heard today is very important. At least I know Xia Guodong's identity. It seems that this Mohua Palace should not be underestimated. We must find out his background as soon as possible."

Gongsun nodded and said, "But now that the evil Buddha is in our hands, there should be many people who will fall into the trap of their own accord."

"That's right, so the guards in Kaifeng Mansion must be strengthened recently." Zhan Zhao said to Gongsun, "Properly hide the evil Buddha, I'll find someone to guard it."

"Speaking of guards." Bao Zheng looked up at the three of them, "Pang Tong will probably be here tomorrow and will stay here for a while."

"Really?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were taken aback.

Bao Zheng nodded helplessly, "The emperor has issued an order, but he is here to assist in handling the case, and what we have to do is to observe his character and ability to see if he is qualified to lead the 80 people in the imperial city." Forbidden Army."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "There are people like Wang Mo in the Forbidden Army of the imperial city, and Deng Jie is also very suspicious. This is related to the safety of Kaifeng, so we should clean it up." Bai Yutang scratched his head, "Bao My lord, this Pang Tong is the son of that old crab after all, is he loyal or traitor?"

"That's right." Zhan Zhao also nodded, "This case is so involved, don't let us have internal problems."

"You don't need to worry too much about this." Bao Zheng waved his hand with a smile, and said, "As far as Pang Tong is concerned, he must be loyal to the Song Dynasty. How can he say that his sister is also a princess, and the emperor is his own family, so naturally he has to go Thoughtful. Although Pang Ji is a bit greedy, flattering, a bit ruthless, a bit out of nothing, a bit ignorant, but he is not a traitor and treason. Lao Pang is bad, but he is not stupid I know that his good life will come to an end if he gets rid of the relationship with the emperor. However, the eldest and second child of the Pang family are nothing, especially the second child Pang Yu. Be careful."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, although Mr. Bao said those words with a smile just now, it can be seen how dissatisfied he is with the old crab.

After chatting for a while, the night was getting dark, and everyone dispersed.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left Bao Zheng's study and returned to their other courtyard. Along the way, Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, as if he had something on his mind.

"Cat, why are you so sad?" Bai Yutang rubbed his shoulders against him, "The little crab will only live for a month, and he will leave after a month, and whether he can succeed or not is in Master Bao's hands. , keep it honest this month."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, looked at Bai Yutang, and laughed, "I didn't feel awkward about Pang Tong's matter, don't tell me, I think he's pretty good... What I'm worried about is about the evil Buddha."

"Hmm..." Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "It was probably a coincidence just now, that boy fell down because we got nervous watching him."

"I also believe this." Zhan Zhao nodded, "After all, it's too evil... The current situation is that the people from Mohua Palace have surfaced, but the people from the Snake Eagle Sect are still hiding in the dark." Zhan Zhao touched Putting his chin, he said, "If it wasn't for the people from Mohua Palace and the Snake Eagle Sect to snatch the evil Buddha this time, we really wouldn't have discovered the existence of the Snake Eagle Sect."

"That's true." Bai Yutang nodded, "And it's not a solution for us to always be led by the nose."

"En!" Zhan Zhao patted him on the shoulder, "Change from passive to active!"

"What idea did you come up with?" Bai Yutang saw Zhan Zhao's eyes narrowed and calculated, so he leaned over and asked.

"Do you still remember the cases of family extermination in Yingchang Mansion, and the mansion Yin Zhou Lan?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Yeah." Bai Yutang nodded, "Last time it was found out that he was suspicious."

"If he is really involved, it must be from the Snake Eagle Sect!" Zhan Zhao said, "Also, do you still remember what that Hongyi and Ye Yibai said last time, what they said seemed to say that the background of the Snake Eagle Sect is better than theirs? Hou, that is to say, there may be important ministers in the court who are taught by the Snake Eagle."

"You want to attack Yingchang Mansion?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao nodded, and said, "I still want to investigate the lawsuits that destroyed the family back then. If I bring Zhou Lan here, I'm afraid I'll startle the snake. Don't try to get out of the shell like that Xia Guodong. It's best to visit unannounced."

"That's a good move. Yingchang Mansion is also nearby. Let's go tomorrow after setting up guards in Kaifeng?" Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Take Pang Tong and Mr. Gongsun with you."

"Why bring them?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

Bai Yutang glanced at him, "Who knows Pang Tong is loyal or traitor? We both left, how can we leave him by Mr. Bao's side!"

"That's true." Zhan Zhao nodded, and asked again, "Then why do you want to bring Mr. Gongsun?"

"Wow, Mister is simply a living god." Bai Yutang said with admiration, "I know everything, that Snake Eagle God is nagging, take him with you, so as not to have any clues when the time comes, we both know everything." It’s like being blind to see.”

"It makes sense!" Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang's shoulder, "Yutang, you're being thoughtful! But we have to go and come back quickly, and we have to sneak away!"

"Yeah." Bai Yutang stretched his waist, "I think the golden-faced leader and Xia Guodong might have escaped from Kaifeng."

"Ye Yibai kicked me, and the injury should not be serious. I don't think he will be able to make trouble in the short term." Zhan Zhao said, "The people of the Snake Eagle Sect stole the fake Buddha this time, I don't know if it will It turned out to be fake."

"Oh... cat, don't think about it, you're not sleepy, it's almost dawn if you don't sleep anymore." While talking, Bai Yutang took off his coat and was about to lie down on Zhan Zhao's bed. Zhan Zhao grabbed him, "Split the quilt to sleep , you snatched my quilt last night!"

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky, "Obviously you robbed me, the villain will sue first!"

Zhan Zhao sat down on the bed, pointed to the cabinet and said, "There's a new quilt over there. I asked someone to dry it this morning. Bring it here!"

Bai Yutang had no choice but to mutter "stingy cat" in his mouth, and ran over to get the quilt, while Zhan Zhao stood up to wash.

Bai Yutang opened the cabinet door, wanted to get the quilt, but when he looked up, he saw a corner of a piece of white paper exposed on the top of the cabinet.

"What is this?" Curious, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to get the white paper... When he pulled it out, it seemed to be stuck. As soon as Bai Yutang exerted his strength, he heard Zhan Zhao shout from behind, "Be careful!"

Before he understood it, Zhan Zhao rushed over and knocked Bai Yutang into the cabinet.The two had just fallen into the big cabinet when they heard a "crash".Taking a closer look, he saw that a gold-plated clay Bodhisattva fell down and smashed to pieces on the ground, exactly where Bai Yutang was standing just now.

"Be careful, it's dangerous!" Zhan Zhao took the piece of paper in Bai Yutang's hand, and saw some characters drawn on it, "This is Mr. Gongsun's town house, and the Bodhisattva weighs more than 30 catties. Hit your head and you will pay for your life!"

Zhan Zhao got up from the soft quilt and wanted to reach out to pull Bai Yutang, but he saw Bai Yutang staring blankly at the golden Buddha on the ground.

"Yutang?" Zhan Zhao patted his cheek, "Stupid?"

It took Bai Yutang a long time to turn his face to look at Zhan Zhao, "The cat...was hit by gold..."

Zhan Zhao was also stunned, the two stared at each other for a while, then quickly got up, washed and got under the covers.

Crouching under the quilt, Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, do you have any other things in your room that can kill people with golden Buddhas and bricks?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and wanted to shake his head, but he still reached out and grabbed Bai Yutang's hand, pulled out the quilt, let him hug his head with his hands, and said seriously, "Yutang, it's safer this way, go to sleep!"

Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry...he would stop talking nonsense in front of Bodhisattvas.
