Lie? This is a Buddhist term.

Hu Xiuwu raised his eyebrows: "Is this bell a Buddhist instrument?"

Zhao Fangxu sighed: "You have always been smart."

Taking advantage of the traffic jam, he pulled the handbrake and raised his right hand to fiddle with the bell, but the artificial provocation did not make the bell make any sound.

"This magical artifact was newly brought out from a warehouse I have access to everywhere. It's called the Bajie Bell." Zhao Fangxu explained the origin of this magical artifact to Hu Xiuwu.

"Its last owner was Liu Zhiping."

Liu Zhiping, Hu Xiuwu chewed this name over and over in his mind. When he was in Shangqing, he never heard his master mention such a Buddhist master.

Zhao Fangxu continued: "The creator of Bajie Bell is Master Hongyi."

Master Hongyi, Hu Xiuwu suddenly realized that this name was so powerful.

Master Hongyi, whose common name is Li Shutong, is one of the four eminent monks of the Republic of China and the eleventh generation ancestor of the Vinaya Sect. Even if you don't know his name, you should have heard of "Farewell" written by him.

Li Shutong was good at calligraphy, poetry, painting, music, gold and stone, and was good at acting. He was an all-rounder. Master Hongyi entered Taoism through music and rhythm, and developed a sense of energy. He also fasted and realized Taoism in Dinghui Temple, and finally became a monk in Hupao Temple.

Master Hongyi once said: "What we eat is the millet of China, and what we drink is the water of Wenling. As a disciple of the Buddha, at this time, we cannot jointly relieve the country's difficulties. How can we feel guilty?"

After the war broke out, he tried his best to contribute to the national crisis. For this reason, he left the words "sorrow and joy" in his sixties and passed away sadly. In addition to being owed to his wife, he was worthy of the country and his ancestors.

.

Before his death, Master Hongyi divided his belongings into four parts and left them to his wife and son in China, his wife in Japan, and his disciple Liu Zhiping, who shared his father-son affection.

When Zhao Fangxu talked about this period of history, his words were still full of respect for Master Hongyi.

Hu Xiuwu looked at Bajie Ling and asked, "Is Bajie Ling used to detect lies?"

"This statement is not accurate," Zhao Fangxu added, "The Bajie Bell is a tool used by Master Hongyi for self-examination."

After Master Hongyi became a monk, he joined the Vinaya sect and practiced the Vinaya sect. Among the Buddhist sects, the Vinaya sect is the most difficult to practice and requires practicing a variety of precepts. When he was not used to it at the beginning, Master Hongyi naturally broke the precepts accidentally.

Later, Master Hongyi made a copper bell for himself. Whenever he violated the precepts, he would shake the bell and recite scriptures to reflect on himself.

Over time, Master Hongyi kept the precepts firmly in mind, and even though he lived alone, he still strictly observed the precepts. He was doing these precepts for the Buddha in his own heart, not for the world to see.

Master Hongyi obtained the true meaning of Buddhism, and Bajie Ling, who followed him in seeking the Tao, also had his own magical powers.

Hang the Bajie Bell in the house, and the place will immediately become a Buddhist holy place. Whenever the Eight Precepts are violated, the Bajie Bell will ring on its own to warn you.

The Eight Precepts of Buddhism: the first is to kill, the second is to steal, the third is to engage in sexual misconduct, the fourth is to lie, the fifth is to drink alcohol, the sixth is to wear incense, the seventh is to sit and lie down on a high bed, and the eighth is to eat out of season.

Master Hongyi bequeathed this bell to his apprentice, with the intention of attracting Liu Zhiping into Buddhism and passing on the Buddhist practice.

But Liu Zhiping obviously has no intention of becoming a monk, nor does he have the talent. He is just an ordinary person, and his classmates with Uncle Li are calligraphy and painting skills. The Bajie Bell can only be used as a relic in memory of his mentor. Later, in order to do his best to save the country

He asked his fellow disciple Feng Zikai, who was a teacher in Zunyi, to give the Bajie Bell to **.

Zhao Fangxu said with emotion: "Back then, Bajie Ling helped us uncover the traitors. However, later the enemy discovered Bajie Ling's shortcomings, and more accurate lie detectors were developed, so Bajie Ling could only

Eating ashes in the warehouse."

Although Zhao Fangxu didn't say what Bajie Ling's shortcomings were, Hu Xiuwu also guessed it.

There are too many precepts controlled by the Bajie Bell. Not only lies can make it ring, but violations of other precepts will also cause it to ring.

As long as one side of the mind is thinking about obscene things, even if what is said in the mouth is the truth, the Bajie bell will still ring, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the lies.

Zhao Fangxu pushed up his glasses: "However, this shortcoming is not worth mentioning for us."

After all, as long as he rings, I have to take measures.

The reason why he didn't use the Bajie Bell on Hu Xiuwu last time was because Zhao Fangxu knew everything about Feng Baobao. He knew as much as Xu Xiang knew. Feng Baobao couldn't hide it. If he didn't want to expose it to the public,

On the face of it, Feng Baobao's existence has long been noticed by Nadutong.

But things in Erluohai City were full of weirdness, so he couldn't help but resort to some tricks.

Zhao Fangxu, like a retired teacher, said to Hu Xiuwu kindly: "Don't be nervous, just tell the truth."

What did the teacher say? Do you really dare to tell the truth?

"good."

Hu Xiuwu's brain was awakened, and the twenty-four gods were waiting in full formation. He was inexplicably nervous and excited, but his face showed a nervous, helpless, and innocent look.

Gu fear

Zhao Fangxu asked a question that concerned him the most: "Is it related to the Jiashen Rebellion in Evil Luohaicheng? Is it related to Feng Baobao's secret?"

"I don't know. Teacher Zhang Zhiwei pushed me away when he was talking to Feng Baobao. I don't know if it has anything to do with it."

Hu Xiuwu shook his head. He really didn't know about this matter. Zhang Zhiwei kept secret about the Jiashen Rebellion and would rather take the secret to his grave than tell him.

Zhao Fangxu glanced at Bajie Ling. Bajie Ling was as stable as a mountain, indicating that Hu Xiuwu was telling the truth.

"Then why are you and Chen Duo the only ones who can go to the Evil Luohai City two thousand years ago?"

Hu Xiuwu told the truth: "It is the legacy of my predecessor. Li Chunfeng had long expected that I would go to Evil Luo Haicheng, so he used my hand to get rid of the snake god and make up for the world's shortcomings."

Hu Xiuwu sighed: "The world will never be the same from now on."

Bajie bell still didn't move.

Zhao Fangxu frowned when he heard Hu Xiuwu's words: "What do you mean when you say the world is in deficit?"

Hu Xiuwu told Zhao Fangxu completely about the snake god. There was a serious lack of information about the alien world everywhere. This was the first time Zhao Fangxu heard this statement.

Zhao Fangxu asked: "What will happen if the world's deficit is filled?"

Hu Xiuwu said vaguely: "I don't know, but at least the number of strangers should increase."

"The issue of population red line will be put on the agenda again." Zhao Fangxu murmured, feeling a little headache. He didn't expect this issue to exist before he came.

Before he even asked the question he really wanted to know, there was another question about the population red line, causing multiple thoughts and ideas to flood his mind at once, making it difficult to sort out his thoughts.

After thinking for a long time, seeing that Hu Xiuwu would be home in ten minutes, Zhao Fangxu finally spoke:

"Xiuwu, do you think Eluo Haicheng, or the snake god, can make people live forever?"

The problem of population red line is still far away.

Immortality is the source of the troubled times in front of us.

The Jiashen Rebellion had nothing to do with Evil Luo Haicheng before. Everyone's attention was focused on the fact that Muchen Beads can turn people into strangers. But when the Evil Luo Haicheng incident came out, Zhao Fangxu was shocked.

Since Feng Baobao, the snake god is closer to immortality.

Hu Xiuwu thought about it and said, "The current Evil Luo Hai City cannot do it, but if we find the right method, Muchen Bead might be able to do it."

At this time, Zhao Fangxu was extremely hopeful that Bajie Bell would ring continuously and reprimanded Hu Xiuwu for saying that what he said was false.

It's a pity that Bajie Ling remained motionless, and the interior of the car was as silent as an ancient temple in the mountains.

Looking at Zhao Fangxu who was already upset, Hu Xiuwu calmed down.

The issue of the population red line was naturally brought up by Hu Xiuwu deliberately, not only to make Nadu Tong be more vigilant, but also to divert Zhao Fangxu's attention away from the 'legacy of his ancestors'.

Zhao Fangxu was careless. His opinion of Hu Xiuwu was still the same as a few days ago.

But he ignored that in just three days, Hu Xiuwu spent four magnificent months in the Han Dynasty. Under the influence and whispers of Gao Gu and Zhang Qian, he had been completely transformed. He was no longer the mere

A very smart child.

He has learned the basics of being a politician,

Conditionally state the facts, divert attention, and distort the facts.

Zhao Fangxu said with a serious face: "There are regulations everywhere. There must be three people supervising from outside the bench to prevent cheating afterwards."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu begin to teach him how to deal with the wide stool, Hu Xiuwu calmed down and memorized Zhao Fangxu's words with bated breath.

The weak point of a wide stool system is never the machine, but the people.

People are always more likely to make mistakes than machines. If you can't fool a rigid machine, you can't fool people either? That's why there is a requirement that at least three people supervise questions.

"There are some questions that I will ask vaguely. You should be careful when answering. For example..."

But who would have thought that one day the chairman, who knows everything, would teach outsiders to cheat and help outsiders hide things from his own family.

"Do you understand?"

Hu Xiuwu nodded crazily like an obedient student.
