Chapter 114 – White Monk Swept White Rainbow
After the assassination of the House of Seed, the House up and down the dark and light everywhere, still in order, the Great General Seed Shentong did not even show up, only Seed Liang stood for a few moments in Lu Hui’s courtyard, not painfully asked the maidservant Liu Daogu a few sentences, and then looked at the ground by the sword waves, but also did not have half a bit of grave expression. Seeing the stout kind of Liang, Lu Gui sighed with relief, although he was young, he disliked this person’s deviation, but some times must not be glad that he is not the enemy of the species of the family’s second, in the eyes of the Lu Ancestral Department, the kind of Liang acts absurdly, can not see through it, when he and his peers kind of shentong is still at home to study in a private school hard work, the young man kind of Liang has killed many people. Liang has killed many people, it is said and crown before a trip to the Princess Tomb, so that missed and crown ceremony, and then married, the bride is eight carries sedan chair carried into the seed family residence, but the groom is missing, bad traces of the old master of the seed family, the old master of the gas in the smoke, the old master went to the West, the kind of Liang did not get to see a glance.
Lu Gui’s relief, in addition to seeing a devil Seed Liang sitting in the mansion, there are unknown reasons. About the seed gui’s violent death, he has heard his daughter Lu Shen’s statement, heart half do not believe, but since the seed gui front foot just died, after the foot, there is a clever assassin into the house against the kind of sandalwood, is equal to the side of the proof of Lu Shen’s statement, which is the Lu family is a big good news. Fortunes and misfortunes follow each other, the daughter’s broken face, coupled with the medieval marriage, and the next entry into the Qin Emperor’s tomb, once they return to the Southern Dynasty, the entire Lu family will receive a generous payoff. Lu Gui thought of his poor daughter and said a self-contradictory statement, “It’s a pity it’s a daughter, it’s fortunate it’s a daughter.”
The only thing that is worthy of the status of the festival holder, that family of the festival holder Helian Wuwei, is probably the introduction of the spring into the house to make a lake, the night is already deep, but the sleep is shallow. Without the presence of Luoyang, the three men are talking about, are rough, few quotes of the tall tales, after talking, Xu Fengyen realized that in the eyes of the old section order, Xu Snapdragon six sons, Chen Zhi Bao is a deservedly handsome, but the next two generals are a little less talented, Chu Lushan surprisingly, but also in the Yuan Zuozong before, talking about the old man to bring the disgrace of defeat and capture of the dead fat man, holding the authority of the old man of the state, instead of holding grudges. Hold a state authority old man not only did not hate, but instead good not to hide its appreciation, said Chu Lushan rule of the army is harsh, especially good at leading a lone army, deep into the hinterland of certain death, is the true meaning of the sand field hundred battles of the nine deaths of the blessed generals and fierce generals, both wisdom and courage. Xu Fengyen because of his age, missed the Spring and Autumn period of those great wars to raise the country, for Fatty Chu, only remember his smiling white fat face, bloated to almost not see the eyes and neck, it is difficult to imagine the picture of him leading the troops to kill the enemy. Today, after hearing the praise of Helian Wuwei, only to realize that if Chu Lushan really rebel, it seems to be more than Yuan Zuozong rely on secretly close to Chen Zhi Bao also come to endless trouble.
Helian Wu Wei drank a mouth of wine, full of red face, skin wrinkles such as pine lines, more and more like an old farmer, “I have heard of some of the uniquely endowed valves son of the practice of martial arts ultimately practiced into a master, really have not heard of the first son of a feudal king to achieve a great climate.”
The white-haired old Kui demolished the stage: “This kid is lucky to have a leading master like Jian Jiuhuang and Li Chungang. If I had a Hearing Tide Pavilion when I was young, I would have entered the first rank before I was eighteen. With further guidance from a senior person, he would definitely reach the Finger Xuan realm before the age of thirty.”
Helian Wuwei squinted, “If you came to be the son of Northern Liang, you would have been reincarnated eighteen times already.”
The old kui glared angrily, where would Helian Wuwei be afraid of his demonstration, he didn’t bother to pay attention to it. Xu Fengnian frankly laughed at himself and said, “It’s luck. Taoism has to say that people from the time of conception, the man’s innate endowment, to eight prevail, seven eight fifty-six years old, has been angry all, leaving only the remaining gas of the day after strong support, so the rich and wealthy old man, old age and then believe in the yellow old man, go to the Taoist cultivation of longevity, often become a luxury, but also only a little prolonged life. Practicing martial arts is indeed eight years old before the foundation refining extremely important, sixteen years old before if you have not put in the hard work, want to become a master, with the dream is almost the same. When I was a child, I also had the idea of becoming a top swordsman or a first-class swordsman, but delayed, and then attributed to the Wudang Mountain, was instilled by the Wang Sect Master of the Yellow Court, after the realm of the climb in order to day by day. In the end, those who rely on themselves are few, those who rely on family lineage account for many.”
Helian Wuwei shook his head, “I don’t like to hear such words. I’ve been there before and know the hardships involved.”
The white-haired old kui finally spoke a word of conscience, “Actually, you kid still has some toughness, this old man is really embarrassed to deny it. But to say a word of cool water, in your life ah, you can’t catch up with these monsters like Da Nian Tou.”
Helian Wuwei scolded, “You’re the one who talks the most shit!”
Xu Fengnian laughed, “This thing called martial arts, in the end, it’s better to practice it.”
Old Kui froze for a moment and muttered, “Same virtue as Jian Jiuhuang.”
Xu Fenian seemed like he didn’t hear this and asked a key question, “Uncle Helian, then this time, did you promise to cut off the river, so that the Qin Emperor’s Tomb will surface and reappear in the sky?”
Helian Wuwei squinted his eyes and drank, pondering for a long time before slowly saying, “Originally the old man I didn’t intend to bite the bait, but then when Da Nian Tou came to the mansion, he changed his mind. Who is the Cicada, Mantis, Yellow Bird, and Slingshot, depends on their respective heavenly destinies.”
Xu Fengnian suddenly laughed: “Uncle Helian, both matters of military and political governance, we need to learn from you, and it’s a few points if we can learn a few points of skin.”
The old festival organizer said cheerfully, “I’m not hiding anything. I have no son or daughter, it is hard to save some ink and learning, can not be brought into the coffin. In advance, if you really want to fetch the scriptures, you also need to walk around with me, book stuff, I know less, and I am not happy to teach you.”
Xu Fengnian nodded with a smile, and Lao Kui mumbled, “You officials and those who will be officials, you don’t have a moment to spare, it’s even more boring than practicing martial arts.”
The old man and the young man looked at each other and laughed, talking to Lao Kui about military and politics, what is it if not talking to a cow?
While drinking, Xu Fengyen is silently calculating in his mind, as in the following chess game.
Princess Tomb divided into two, the big idea Luoyang, it sounds like in addition to the guest secretary Helian Wuwei, there is no other forces that can be driven, the fatal thing is that this holder of the order is not good to fall into the too deep, watch the fire from the other side of the river, even if there is substantial support, but also not blatantly mobilize the strong soldiers and horses of the control of the Bijie army. The good thing is that there is a white-haired old Kui Chu Manu will not accidentally personally involved in the situation.
Little Nian Tou side, and kind of Liang collusion, should open the emperor’s mausoleum will at least turn a blind eye, and even very likely is to want to get rid of the shackles of the identity of the eight hundred years of the spirit guardian.
Seed Lu two families needless to say, even with Helian Wuwei on a level of power minister Seed Shentong personally to the West River State, nesting gate power is destined to be amazing.
Outside of this, whether there will be a tendency to smell the fishy and come to the chaotic mountain, not yet clear, but on the board will be there, and should not be underestimated.
Xu Fengyen was forced by Luoyang to bind to a line, how much effort, depending on the situation of the degree of danger, according to Xu Fengyen’s intention, this kind of effort is not good muddy water not to wade to stabilize, he grew up in the listening to the pavilion climbing up and down the guy for the secret scrolls and treasures, can not really raise interest. Muddy water to fish, that also have to touch the fish people like to eat fish will make efforts.
A mess.
Xu Fengnian frowned and drank slowly.
Helian Wuwei glanced at him with an old and playful smile.
※※※※
Two Zen Temple is the world’s first temple, presided over the Dragon Tree monks are honored as the Buddha’s head, but in fact, really went there, only to know that it is still far worse than some of the local states and counties on the famous mountain temples, a little bit not big mountains and temples and big Buddhas and big halls, especially the old presided over the Dragon Tree monks residence, especially simple, and the countryside under the mountains of the village people are no different, a thatched cottage still sturdy, the nunnery is cramped, the court household can not be counted on the level of width. Only distantly hear the gurgling of the stream, but not see the stream, the wall corner of the old chickens and new tree fences, walk a few more steps, may also step on a few piles of chicken droppings, behind the house, there is a cypress, there are no mysterious sayings said that there is a large tank in the shade of the tree, the two Zen Buddhist temple monks in the presidency of the lead under the example of the pragmatic force to practice, not to be regarded as a shame of cultivation, the monk Longshu every time he returned to the dusk of the labor, will go to the tank to wash off the mud, the bottom of the tank will be deposited in the many silt. A lot of silt, but I heard that a famous Jiangnan scholar took these mud to make a famous pot, widely circulated. Now a pair of men and women standing in front of the water tank, the old host out of the temple down the mountain, to go 10,000 miles away from the North Mang quarrel with someone, these chickens and ducks have to be someone to feed, it was given to the two children who grew up in the mountains, anyway, they also often play in this side of the most familiar, the old monk rest assured that the young monk draped in a brand new clean green bridesmaid jade-colored robe, the two Zen Buddhist temple and the Dragon Tiger Mountain Tianshifu is different, even if there is an imperial reward, it is not a good idea. The two chan temples are different from the dragon tiger mountain tianshifu, even if there is a reward from the imperial court, also don’t like to wear purple, the little monk’s robe is already very few monks of high virtue in the temple can only wear on the specification, but at the same time red lips and white teeth of the young monk with a face of despondency, the words are full of hesitation, “Li Zi, and there are people come to the temple to ask for the mud and dirt in the vat, do you say that we give or not give it to ah?”
The girl reached out and stirred up a vat of water, and said with a blank stare, “No! How in heaven’s name can a guest come to the door and take an object for nothing, it’s too shameless.”
The little monk’s eyebrows are wrinkled together, “But the old host as long as there is mud, every time will agree ah.”
The young girl glared, “At this moment the old presiding officer is not here, it is me who is in charge, I have the final say!”
“If master teacher’s mother knew, she would again criticize me for not knowing how to treat guests.”
The young girl’s eyes bright, smug, thinking that she has found a compromise method, “Why don’t we sell one or two pieces of clay for one or two pieces of silver, sell it to that person?”
The little monk is an unenlightened dead brain, obviously not this smart, a face of difficulty, but also do not dare to refute the young girl, had to not say anything.
The young girl thought about it, said in a serious manner: “one or two mud sold one or two silver, seems to be some too deceitful, forget it, no matter how much he pickpocket, we only need him one or two silver. Going out in the world to walk the jianghu to be shrewd some, since in their own homes, or to be generous. You see the last time we went to the Northern Liang King’s residence, Xu Fengyen is generous to us, that’s called atmosphere, I can’t be stingy.”
North and South Little Monk grinned a wide smile.
Thing girl retracted her hand from the water tank, whispered admonition: “Turn back to my mother and my father, as well as the old host, you can’t say I earned one or two silver, remember?”
The little monk laughed innocently, thought of a stupid way that could be used without bamboozling, “When I sold the mud later, I went to the mountain to drive all the chickens and ducks back into their cages, and didn’t see anything.”
The stuff girl threw a blank stare, “When you get older in the future, you will surely die of stupidity as well, how can you possibly become a Buddha and burn out relics.”
The little monk touched his bald head, a little embarrassed.
Being something girl is ready to go to find cheeky stay in the temple refused to go Jiangnan celebrities to do business, see a tall white monk slowly wandering over, her eyes smiled into a crescent moon, trotted over, shouted a father. The little monk who was learning to crow to abduct those old chickens back to the cage also raised a smile, the white monk rubbed his daughter’s head, let her busy themselves, the little girl is innocent, carefree, gave the stupid north and south a don’t say anything about the eyes, which only jumped far away. Stupid north and south is actually not stupid, only glanced at the master’s complexion, know that there is something, stop the hand to drive the chicken back to the house of the antics, white monk Li Dangxin hesitated, said: “your master’s master quarrel is not good, fighting is even worse, I have to go out, I’m not in, you take care of a little bit of Li Zi.”
Stupid North and South nodded vigorously, and then asked, “Does the master’s wife know?”
Li Dangxin laughed, “Listen to her in small matters, and follow me in big matters, that’s how it’s been all these years.”
Stupid north and south skimmed his head, thinking since he remembered, he has not seen a what is to listen to the master’s big event, but not all are to listen to the master’s wife.
White monk touched his own that big bald head, know this stupid disciple in mind, haha laugh: “This time is not a big deal.”
Stupid north and south carefully asked, “Master, can return to the temple with the old abbot, right?”
The white-robed monk sighed, “I don’t know.”
North and South little monk without saying a word, chasing plums went, a moment later with angry things girl back, white monk helplessly smiled, four people in the family, daughter-in-law talk is not as useful as the daughter, he can also chatter this disciple, but unfortunately, this fool also elbow always turn to their side.
The little girl crossed her arms and said, “Father, you want to go down the mountain, why don’t you tell me.”
The white-robed monk smiled sarcastically, “I’m afraid you won’t allow it.”
Li Zi girl’s face quickly cloudy to mercurial, was about to speak, know daughter is not like father, Li Dangxin shook his head and said: “Li Zi, you can not go.”
The little girl’s face is gloomy, looking down at her toes, seems to hide her red-eyed look, asked, “Mother promised?”
The white-robed monk gave a hmmm.
The plum girl approached him and gently tugged at her sleeve, “Shall I go beg some silver money from Mother?”
“No need, keep it to buy rouge and powder, dress up beautifully, father just think about the plums at home, think about thinking about it and you won’t be cold or hungry.”
“Bragging again. By the way, father, the temple has a lot of big bald old bald will fight ah, want to call on with father to go together chant?”
“No, Father walks fast, they can’t keep up.”
“Oh.”
“Father is not at home, if you are bored, go down the mountain with North and South to have some fun. Haven’t you never been to Tai’an City, the rouge there is only good. Father is no money, but your father’s master’s abbot’s room has a lot of good things, take it to sell the value of money, than to sell the stinking mud in the water tank can earn a lot, like the old abbot that often meditation futon.”
“This is not good, right?”
“What’s wrong with that, turn around and let North and South weave a new one.”
“Alas, go go go, and, no hooking up with those women who throw themselves at you and make mother angry.”
“How can I, in father’s eyes, except for Li Zi and your mother, there is no woman.”
On the way up the mountain, many of the perfumers saw a monk with white clothes.
Some young women and women, subconsciously looked at it a few more times.
Jianghu for a hundred years, the young sword god Li Chungang, who wore a wooden horse and ox, was a true flirt. White horse and white clothes are still too safe, the emperor personally welcome the horse into the palace, that time Li Dangxin, is also true flamboyance.
Away from the two Zen temples, no one in the four places, there is a white rainbow sweeping the sky.
