11. Chapter 011 - Put down the butcher's knife

Master Du glanced at Xie Fu and sighed regretfully.

"I see, it's the old man who is abrupt."

"Originally, it was just something that had nothing to do with the master. You came to persuade me, but you suddenly reminded me. ”

Xie Fu didn't mind, and looked at the steps in front of him and suddenly turned to the right, so he turned around.

She comes to this Fayuan Temple once a month, and she is already very familiar with it.

"The momentary battle of sentiment really doesn't change anything. I don't have half a piece of evidence, just clues that I can't find, full of doubts and conjectures. What can you do? ”

"One day, all grievances will be snowed. In your heart, you must let go. ”

It has also been a matter of the past few years that Master I have met Xie Fu.

This little girl, when she came to Fayuan Temple for the first time, was on the day of her mother's death, she ran up crying alone, and said that she wanted to offer a lamp for her mother.

At that time, she had a few pennies with her.

When Master Du first came to Fayuan Temple to give a lecture, although he didn't know what she was doing, he took pity on her filial piety and offered her a big sea lamp.

From then on, Xie Fu would come once a month, and gradually became acquainted with Master Du, except for the first time, the amount of sesame oil she gave to the temple was as much as she could.

The monks in the temple also like this noble lady who doesn't take a shelf.

Xie Fu made a vow in front of him, wishing that Yue would do a good deed and accumulate some merit for her mother in heaven.

In the past few years, there has not been a single break.

Master Du I thought about it, and the sigh in his heart was even heavier: "This time, the benefactor's kindness has also been completed, right?" ”

"A good thing in May is to save thousands of people in Yancheng County, Huai'an Prefecture." After Xie Fu finished speaking, he paused, took two steps forward in silence, and made up, "But this time my heart is insincere." ”

"What's the explanation?"

Both Master Du and she are slow-moving.

When the pilgrims who went up the mountain saw my master, they all stopped to make a joke and return the salute to my master one by one.

Xie Fu said: "This kindness is not to do good for the sake of doing good, but to do good for the sake of calculation. ”

Why did he do this matter in Yancheng County, only Xie Fu himself knows.

She looked at Master Duwo: "Will the Buddha blame?" ”

"No matter what the purpose is, the good results are achieved, and the good causes come from, the Buddha does not care." The Buddhist beads in Master Du's hand kept turning, and one by one they slid past his palm, "I have saved so many victims, and this time, the donor has done great good." ”

"Whether it's a big goodness or a small kindness, do a good deed every month." Xie Fu smiled, "You said that there is no distinction between good and evil. ”

Master Du was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Xie Fu, and only saw the little girl's wise eyes, so he laughed and made a joke.

"Amitabha, it's the old man who looks like him."

It is a sin for him to forget for a moment.

The group walked forward all the way, and soon saw the Daxiong Treasure Hall in front.

However, this is not where Xie Fu went, she wrote down a sum of sesame oil money casually, and then asked the full moon to be put into the merit box, but there was no incense.

Master Du led her to the back meditation room.

Before Xie Fu offers incense, he must burn incense and meditate in the meditation room for two hours, wash off the dirt on his heart with Zen incense, and then come out to offer incense and put on the lamp.

In the meditation room of Fayuan Temple, behind a row of old pine trees with two people hugging each other, a Bodhi tree is in a strong posture, quietly rooted in the backyard.

Master Du personally led Xie Fu to the place, and arranged for the little novice to serve outside the door, and then said goodbye to Xie Fu and left.

Xie Fu entered the meditation room, and the full moon went in to help clean up.

Huo Xiaonan looked around and was bored, knowing that there was a temple fair on the street in front of him, and he had to put lanterns along the river at night, so he said: "Girl, I'll go outside first and see if there's anything interesting, and I'll tell you later." ”

Full Moon pulled his face: "Nonsense, you obviously want to play by yourself." ”

Xie Fu shook his head helplessly: "Go ahead." ”

"Girl!" The full moon boss was unhappy and glanced at Huo Xiaonan.

Huo Xiaonan took advantage of Xie Fu's lack of attention, made a grimace at the full moon, and ran away with a brush.

Huo Xiaonan thought to herself, the girl who is full moon is still quite cute, but she is a little fierce.

Well, except when facing the girl.

Huo Xiaonan bored and walked out the same way, all the way out of the temple gate, and never saw the Chen Wang just now.

"Come on, fragrant scallion pancakes!"

"Sugar gourd, sugar gourd!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Stalls have been set up on the street in front of them, and things have begun to be sold, and the high buildings are already full of signboards and flags.

Huo Xiaonan stretched his waist, heard the bones on his body click, and sighed comfortably: "It's still lively in the capital." ”

In the past few days in Yancheng, people are really going to fade out of the bird!

"Wheeling ......"

The sound of a horse-drawn carriage running over a stone road.

Huo Xiaonan hadn't finished stretching his waist yet, when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes and saw a carriage driving in front of him.

The carriage of an ordinary rich and noble family sat in front of it in the style of a short brown handlebar, and was flicking a whip in front of it.

"Drive!"

Handlebar-style big eyes, long eyebrows, and a collapsed nose......

Sounds familiar?

Isn't this Xiao Li of Gaofu? Why did you come too?

Huo Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled, and he hid behind the pΓΉ pillar of the street shop, and when he saw it, the car stopped at the gate of the temple, and two maids came up and down, supporting a young lady.

That young lady was none other than Xie Fu's cousin Gao Miaozhen.

Strange, why are they here?

Huo Xiaonan has always watched and listened to all directions, knowing that Gao Miaozhen doesn't like Xie Fu left and right, and he always feels strange when he sees them now.

After thinking about it, Huo Xiaonan quickly ran back again.

The restaurant on the side of the street was already full of guests, and even the private rooms were occupied early.

Xiao Er, who served the food, picked up the blanket hanging on his shoulder, wiped the sweat beads on his head, held the tray of vegetables in one hand, and knocked on the door of the private room.

"Guest officer, the food you asked for has arrived!"

With a "squeak", the door opened.

Li Jingxiu stood at the door of the room, leaned sideways and let it in: "Come in and put it away." ”

Xiao Er saw that this person was extravagant, and hurriedly brought the dishes in and put them away.

Before leaving, he glanced at the corner of his eye, and saw a big official standing by the window, standing with his hands in his hands, his body was hidden, and his momentum was calm.

Exited, Xiao Er was still thinking, most of them were two noble masters.

The door to the private room was closed again.

Zhu Yijun didn't look back, Li Jingxiu stepped forward, stood beside him, and looked at the lively crowd below.

From this location, you can see the temple gate of Hogen Temple.

Li Jingxiu said: "Why are you still watching? That Chen Wangkai offended Gao Gong's baby granddaughter, and there would be no good fruit to eat when it was passed out. ”

Zhu Yijun said: "I just think that Gu'an Bo Mansion is a little arrogant." ”

Although I had heard of their family's behavior for a long time, it was a little shocking to see it with my own eyes.

The carriage alone was already extravagant.

"Hehe, I think it's going to be arrogant soon." Li Jingxiu thought of the tall beard, and he was still very optimistic in his heart, "But the second girl Xie told me that I couldn't see through, why did she also believe in Buddhism?" But why do you want to compete with Chen Wang's little unsuccessful person? It seems unusual for my master to treat her. ”

Touching his chin, Li Jingxiu fell into deep thought.

Zhu Yijun turned around, glanced at him, and walked back.

"Don't think about it, sit down and eat first. This time I brought Shouyang here, and I still have to toss when I turn back. ”

"Shouyang" is talking about Princess Zhu Yao'e of Shouyang, the third daughter of Emperor Longqing, but the first two daughters also died tragically. So Zhu Yao'e is the biggest princess today, but she is only seven years old, just like a little demon god.

As soon as he talked about her, Li Jingxiu had a headache.

Zhu Yijun sat down, and the sheathed dagger hanging on his waist hit the round stool, "dang", a slight sound.

Li Jingxiu looked over.

I heard that this dagger came from Tatar.

Last year, Altan Khan, the leader of the Tatar state, attacked Datong, Shanxi, planning to become emperor.

At that time, Zhu Yijun was accompanying the emperor on a parade near Shanxi, and was ordered to rush to Shanxi to supervise the army as a prince.

Originally, the position of supervising the army was very safe, and it was suitable for Zhu Yijun, a person whose status was valuable and could reflect the emperor's grace.

Unexpectedly, when the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars fought head-on, the Tatar general, the grandson of Altan Khan, Hanaji, actually led 3,000 elite soldiers, attacked the east and west, broke into the camp of the Ming Dynasty in Shanxi, and killed people!

Wherever the sword goes, there is blood!

Who is Hannaji? Among the Tatars, they all call it the "Tatar Milk Tiger", which is very brave.

Zhu Yijun was in the camp at that time, and there were only 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people around him.

Surrounded by Hannaji's elite soldiers, Zhu Yijun had to lead people to retreat, fleeing all the way to fight, and was forced into the canyon, unable to retreat.

The Ming army did not know when to return to help, they fled in a hurry, and there was not enough dry food, once trapped, unable to get out, they would be disarmed and surrendered within three days.

Zhu Yijun is a prince who grew up in a deep palace, who doesn't think he is pampered?

At that time, the 1,000 remnants of the soldiers, all of them thought that they were dead.

But who would have thought?

After Zhu Yijun settled everyone, he went out single-handedly, holding a sword, and pointed at Hannaji: "Do you dare to fight with me alone?!" ”

Han Naji on the other end was a heroic young man, strong and brave, like a beast, and laughed when he heard Zhu Yijun's words.

"I know you, you are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that you all grew up in the deep palace, and you can't shoot with swords and cavalry, so you dare to fight with me? The sword has no eyes, kill you, just give your head to you Lao Tzu! ”

The voice landed, and Hannaji looked at him fiercely, and he rushed up without hesitation.

Zhu Yijun also rode out.

The two of them fought each other in short combat, swords and swords, and there was a thrilling solo battle at the mouth of the canyon!

Han Naji never expected that the prince, who he thought was weak, waved his sword with both hands, and he had the strength of a thousand catties, and the momentum around him was terrifying, and it was so difficult for him to breathe!

What a terrible opponent?

Hannaji was exhausted, and although he gave Zhu Yijun several knives, his body was already scarred.

Both of them are Tianjiao-like characters, and they gritted their teeth and refused to take half a step back.

At the end of the battle, Zhu Yijun had already abandoned his horse, stepped on a piece of flying sand and rocks, and slashed out with a sword.

When, when, when!

The force in his hand is getting smaller and smaller, but his eyes are getting more and more ruthless!

Zhu Yijun stepped forward step by step, but Hannaji was already defeated!

The last sword was cut out, and the long knife in Hannaji's hand had been shaken out, and it was stuck diagonally on the mound, and as soon as he clasped his waist, he was about to untie the dagger to defend himself and fight again with Zhu Yijun.

But the moment his fingers touched the silver sheath of the dagger, he couldn't move.

- Zhu Yijun's long sword, across his neck.

Because of exhaustion, Zhu Yijun's hand holding the sword was not steady, his trembling hand, with a trembling sword, the sword light flashed, the blade grazed Hannaji's neck, the skin was broken, and blood flowed down his neck.

He thought he was going to die.

However, the next moment, Zhu Yijun had already removed the sword from the side of his neck.

"Spare your life."

Han Naji was completely stunned, and before he could react, he saw Zhu Yijun's long sword picked, and then he felt that his hand was numb, and the hand that was about to touch the dagger just now was forced away.

A light waist.

A dagger inlaid with gems has been lifted high, and Zhu Yijun reached out to take it, and he has firmly grasped the dagger.

The shadow of that dagger, in Li Jingxiu's eyes, gradually overlapped with the one on Zhu Yijun's waist.

Li Jingxiu was in a trance.

This is the loot.

In the first battle of Shanxi, Zhu Yijun did not kill Han Naji and put the people back.

Soon after, Hannaji took the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty on the grounds that-

His grandfather, Altan Khan, slept with the woman he was about to marry.

The government and the opposition shook.

This reason is inevitably a little unreliable, right?

The big guys talked a lot, but in the end they accepted the surrender of Hannaji, made him a commander, and sent him back to negotiate peace with Altan Khan.

It was not long before Altan Khan finally accepted the peace persuasion and asked for the opening of the mutual market.

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's two auxiliary ministers wrote in favor of it, and Emperor Longqing waved his hand to open the mutual market, and also crowned Altan Khan as the king of Yishun in March this year.

As a result, the war between the Ming and the Tatars finally stopped, and no one praised Hannaji for his deep understanding of righteousness.

Only Li Jingxiu is thinking: I know that righteousness is a fart!

Isn't it just that the grandfather slept with his daughter-in-law?

said that Han Naji has a big ability, it is better to praise the prince Zhu Yijun.

It's a pity that the big guys are like forgetting this one.

Li Jingxiu thought of this incident and was a little depressed.

Looking at Zhu Yijun's hidden appearance, he always doubted what he said when he was fighting with Hannaji.

Otherwise, the matter of occupying the wife is in the front, and the battle is in the back, so why does Hannaji not fall early or late, why does it come down after that?

But Zhu Yijun has never shown credit for this matter, and he is not good at asking.

"Why don't you sit down?"

Zhu Yijun had already served the dishes and chopsticks, but he hadn't seen anyone for a long time, so he couldn't help but wonder and looked back.

Li Jingxiu stood there with a strange expression.

Being shouted by him, he finally came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”

Li Jingxiu hurriedly sat down and picked up the bowl, but when he was waiting to eat, there were green vegetables and tofu in front of him, and he suddenly lost his appetite.

The room was quiet.

Li Jingxiu looked at Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun was eating vegetables, but he didn't make a sound, but he was disciplined by the extremely strict rules in the palace.

Li Jingxiu was worried when he saw it, and he didn't dare to eat anymore.

Outside the window and downstairs, there is still a flow of people.

People kept going into the monastery and coming out again.

Huo Xiaonan, who ran to report to Xie Fu, finally arrived in front of the meditation room, and the full moon had come out, so he sat outside under the eaves of the porch, watching the monks coming and going, and fanning himself with his hands.

When she caught a glimpse of Huo Xiaonan at first glance, she thought she was mistaken.

"Strange, why did you come back so soon?"

"Who do you think I saw out there?"

Huo Xiaonan took a breath, looked at himself with wide eyes when he saw the full moon, and he didn't sell it.

"The young lady."

The young lady?

Full Moon was stunned, and immediately reacted: It's Sister Zhen, Gao Miaozhen.

"What is she doing here?"

"How do I know, I haven't heard about it before, and she's coming with us."

Huo Xiaonan scratched his head.

Full Moon said, "No, I have to tell Miss to go." This master has always harbored evil intentions. ”

Huo Xiaonan didn't understand women's affairs, so he stood under the porch with his waist crossed and didn't go in.

The full moon pushed open the door and saw Xie Fupan sitting on the couch by the window reading the scriptures, so he told Huo Xiaonan what he had passed back.

Xie Fu flipped through the pages of the book for a moment, and then turned the page as usual.

"It seems that it was her person who listened to the corner under the window that day."

"What?"

How did this come about?

I can't figure out how the full moon is.

Xie Fu looked at the scriptures, calmed down, and waved his hand: "You go out first." You can go and see the lanterns first, stay until the evening is fragrant, and my master wants to invite me to write lantern riddles. ”

"Oh."

The full moon puffed out her cheeks, thinking that her own lady would not tell herself, but when she thought about the lanterns, her heart fluttered.

She smiled sweetly: "The full moon is not far away, if you have something, remember to call the little novice at the door to call the slave maid." ”

"Hmm."

Xie Fu nodded, looking at the full moon's excited appearance, he couldn't help but bend his lips and smile.

The full moon retreated and carefully closed the door.

The Zen incense fills the room, the Buddhist shrine hides the scriptures and scrolls, and the compassionate Bodhisattva looks at Xie Fu who is sitting cross-legged.

Xie Fu lowered his head and looked at the page of scriptures that had been opened.

The shallow ink fragrance, mixed with Zen incense, is vague and unique.

Dense small words also floated under her eyes.

There is a sentence at the front, lined up vertically.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground."

Xie Fu thought that he was afraid that it would take a long, long time to become a Buddha.

Because, her butcher's knife has just been raised.
