Xu Miaoyi and Zhu Di shared weal and woe in Fengyang, and it was not only the jealous Xiaoba who was deeply hit, but also the Ming Sect Elder Fox Trace who was shocked when he got the news of the spies.

originally planned to guide the revenge-minded Xu Miaoyi to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang, but Xu Miaoyi didn't take the bait for a long time, and fell in love with Zhu Di, the king of Yan, how could the daughter-in-law do it to her father-in-law?

The plan was about to fail, the fox trace hurriedly found Dao Yan Zen Master to discuss countermeasures, and heard the news of Xu Miaoyi, Dao Yan was shocked and rejoiced: if this is the case, Miaoyi will get rid of the trap of the fox trace and live a stable life from now on.

Dao Yanqiang held back the relief in his heart and said coldly: "You guided Xu Miaoyi to suspect Zhu Yuanzhang several times, and even confessed to the suspicion of the eunuch Huang Yan, but she only tested Zhu Yuanzhang and did not really take revenge. She was raised by me personally, she is cautious, she never trusts others easily, and she will not really act until there is conclusive evidence, so your plan seems to be successful, but in fact it is full of loopholes, and I have nothing to do when you come to me at this time. ”

The fox trace hurriedly said: "Dao Yan, although Xu Miaoyi has no contact with you, she believes in you, as long as you speak, she will definitely be able to take the bait!" I used to think wrongly, thinking that she was blinded by revenge, as long as she kept fanning the flames and guiding, she would definitely be as I wished, but people can only be deceived by people they trust, and I don't have enough weight in her heart. Mingjiao's life and death are at stake here, Dao Yan, you have to help me. ”

Zen Master Daoyan did not follow the fox track's words, but said, "Fox trace, you forgot to do something before you entered the door. ”

The fox looked at Dao Yan suspiciously.

Dao Yan said: "You failed to assassinate Wang Baobao, and you can't win the position of sect leader, I am the sect leader of the Ming Sect, you came to see me, why don't you salute when you enter the door?" ”

Fox Trace's eyes were cold, "Dao Yan, it seems that you refuse to help me." ”

Dao Yan said, "You should call me Sect Master. ”

Fox Trace sneered, "What a jealous sect leader!" You hate me for competing for the position of sect leader, knowing that my request is beneficial to the Ming Sect, but you deliberately refuse for personal grudges, so disregarding the overall situation, how can I obey you! ”

"I did fail to assassinate Wang Baobao, but it's better than you nesting in the capital and doing nothing! Lai is on top of the sect leader, he has nothing to do, and he has the face to call himself the sect leader, I am ashamed of you! ”

Dao Yan said: "Everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted." It is not a day's work to kill the king and protect it. Who is Wang Baobao? He is the first strange man in the previous dynasty, even Emperor Hongwu was helpless, you relied on the courage of a reckless man, and took the Mingjiao sect members to the northwest to assassinate him, thinking that he would succeed, but he was defeated, and his subordinates lost more than half of his people, and his vitality was greatly damaged. As a sect leader, the first thing to consider is to protect your subordinates, rather than sending them to death in vain. ”

"Again......" Dao Yan's eyes lit up, forcing him to look at the fox track, "Whether you accept it or not, I am the sect leader." As an elder, why didn't you kneel and bow when you saw the sect leader? Are you going to apostaly? ”

Dao Yan has always been kind and kind-eyed, but at this moment his face changed, the whole person was like King Kong angry, and the momentum was great, and the fox trace couldn't help but take two steps back, "My fox trace's life was given by the old sect leader, and I swore that I would not be my own son for the rest of my life, and I would always be loyal to the Ming Sect, a piece of loyalty, the sun and the moon can be learned, you slandered me for apostasy, is there any evidence?" Do you dare to judge me in public in front of my congregation? Didn't you just kneel? It's a trivial matter, and I just kneel. ”

The fox trail knelt heavily on the ground, his body was so big that he knelt on the wooden ground, and Dao Yan's feet could feel the vibration.

The fox trail lowered his posture, but his eyes were still stubbornly looking at Dao Yan, refusing to give in, "Originally, I was still a brother to you, so I never knelt when we met." From now on, you and I are not brothers, I am elders, and you ...... The sect leader, his subordinates have broken the rules, and when they see that the sect leader does not kneel, ask the sect leader to punish him. ”

Dao Yan said: "Know etiquette, know respect and humility. There are no rules, there is no circle, fox tracks, you are a veteran of the Ming Sect, you should know this very well. You were rude at first, I thought you had forgotten the rules in the grief of the death of the little sect leader, and endured it again and again, waiting for you to wake up, but I tolerated it again and again, but you were aggressive, and even questioned my decisions and judgments. This time, if I don't punish you for favoritism, if I can't convince the people, and if I disrespect the leader according to the canons, how should I punish you? ”

The fox trace clenched his fists, "Directly executed, or whipped fifty, swallowed charcoal, and expelled from the Ming Sect." ”

Disrespecting the leader is equivalent to apostasy, basically fifty lashes, and after swallowing coals of fire, there are almost zero people alive.

Dao Yan said: "I remember that you have been loyal to the Ming Sect for many years, and you have worked hard, this time you only have twenty lashes, and you will be punished for one day, can you take it?" ”

Fox Trace knelt and kowtowed, "The sect leader is merciful, and the fox trace is grateful, so he can only be loyal to the sect leader with his life." ”

Decades of friendship were broken off on this day, and the fox trail was respectful to Dao Yan from then on, and Dao Yan also treated the oldest sect member with the highest qualifications.

It was impossible to use Dao Yan to persuade Xu Miaoyi, but Fox Trace was unwilling to give up, and his hard work was ruined, he racked his brains and planned to play dead chess into living chess.

And Yuan Hui, the first minister of the Ming Dynasty who traveled the world, came suddenly and found Zen Master Daoyan.

The abbot of Zhiji is Daoyan's mentor, and Yuan Heng is an old friend of Zhiji, so Daoyan named the visiting Yuan Heng as a guest and entertained him.

Yuan Jue said: "I went to Fengyang Longxing Temple to find your master Zhi and reminisce, guess who I met?" ”

Dao Yan pretended not to know.

Yuan Jue said in a low voice: "I have seen your former righteous daughter Xu Miaoyi, she and King Yan live in seclusion in the countryside of Fengyang, and they are commensurate as husband and wife. ”

Dao Yan pretended to be shocked.

Yuan Jue sighed: "Zhiji and I are both old, I don't know when I kicked my legs and went, some secrets were brought to the coffin, I was always unwilling, maybe there was no peace under Jiuquan." Dao Yan, Zhi and these apprentices, I admire you the most, and you happen to have a father-daughter relationship with the future Princess Yan...... Last year's 'five-star disorder, sun and moon phase punishment' is actually not a warning to the emperor about the country's governing strategy, but a shocking prophecy is hidden......"

Yuan Hui informed Dao Yan of the observed astrological signs and inferences, "...... I have calculated the eight characters of King Yan, and then combined with the stars, King Yan is the reincarnation of Xuanwu Jun, Lian Zhen Mars is fate, and the Seven Killing Stars counterattack the Purple Emblem. ”

Dao Yan said: "But the prince is in good health, has a generous personality, and hundreds of officials are subservient, and he is deeply popular with the people, while King Yan is only the fourth son of the emperor, even if the prince is ...... in the future There are four imperial grandsons in the East Palace, especially the eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunwen, who has the reputation of genius, Yuan Shenxian, what you say is undoubtedly a rebellion, don't talk nonsense, be careful of causing trouble. ”

Yuan Jue said with a smile: "The so-called fate is like this, the situation is changing, I can peek through the moment and calculate the approximate result, but I can't describe the whole process." In fact, in the eyes of the literati, we monks and humanists are all three-minded and nine-rated, and we are not able to go to the stage, and we can be friends or guests, but once we participate in the government and compete for power with the literati, they are unwilling, and all kinds of contempt and suppression. ”

"Thanks to the emperor's trust, regardless of the meritorious service of the imperial examination, the appointment of monks and monks, there is a three-legged situation of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the court, if you really become the second monk and prime minister Liu Bingzhong as I predicted, maybe this situation can last longer."

Yuan Heng said a seat, said that Daoyan Zen Master was excited, sleepless all night, tossing and turning, he remembered the ideal of slaying dragons when he was a teenager, secretly joined the Ming Sect, and watched the leader Han Shantong climb to the top, there were red turban troops everywhere, and he responded to every call, but Han Shantong gradually lost control of the Ming Sect, and was overturned by his subordinates Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng and other heroes, and became a puppet.

Mingjiao declined, collapsed, and was even sentenced to a demon by the imperial court, and there will never be a day to turn over, even the little sect leader is gone, where will Mingjiao go? In fact, Dao Yan was also a little confused, and he was unwilling and reluctant to dissolve the Ming Sect and let the ordinary people live in the sect according to Yao Jitong's last words.

But if you don't do it, how long will Mingjiao linger? Is it like Fox Track, who will never give up until he finishes the last drop of blood?

What's the difference between this and the red-eyed gamblers in the casino?

And Yuan Heng's arrival opened up another way out for the confused and anxious Dao Yan, and this way could even realize his dream of slaying dragons as a teenager!

In the past, Yuan Heng gave him a face, saying that his eyes were triangular, shaped like a sick tiger, and he was bloodthirsty by nature, Liu Bingzhong and others, Dao Yan didn't take it to heart, and smiled.

But starting tonight, Dao Yan began to think about this possibility.

With a direction in his heart, Dao Yan didn't sleep all night with excitement, and he was still full of energy when he woke up in the morning. Xiao Shami ran in a panic and said, "Zen Master, Yuan Shenxian has gone." ”

Goodbye without saying goodbye? Dao Yan said: "It doesn't matter, Yuan Shenxian has always been unpredictable, like an idle cloud and a wild crane. ”

The little novice hurriedly said, "It's not that it's gone, it's dead!" ”

Dao Yan hurriedly went to the meditation room where Yuan Hui temporarily lived, and saw Yuan Hui sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed meditating, his head lowered, his eyes slightly closed, his appearance peaceful, and he died without illness.

A generation of legendary scholars, after leaking the last heavenly machine, drove to the west.

Zen Master Daoyan clasped his hands together, "Amitabha." ”

At the same time, Fengyang, Longxing Temple.

The morning bell rang, the first light began to appear in the east, Zhi and the abbot woke up in the bell, in a trance, saw the old friend Yuan Heng stepping on the morning light, crane hair and childish face, a good fairy wind bones.

The abbot was puzzled and asked, "Why are you here again?" ”

Yuan Jue smiled and said: "You and I have been old friends for many years, and I learned that you are about to travel far away, so I came to give you a ride." ”

Zhiji Abbot heard it in a fog, "I have a handful of old bones, and I can't even get out of this mountain, how can I have the strength to travel far?" ”

Yuan Hui smiled and said nothing, at this time, Xiao Shami pushed the door in with Su Zhai, Zhiji blinked, and Yuan Hui disappeared.

Zhihe Abbot recalled Yuan Hui's words, and he realized it, he laughed, "Today is the day of my death, bring the golden □□ given by the emperor last year, the Buddha wants to be golden, and the merit of this life is complete." ”

On that day, the abbot of Zhihe wore the royal golden □□, passed away in the chanting of the monks in the Buddhist hall, and was cremated after death, and there were dozens of bright relics in the ashes, which were enshrined in the relics pagoda of Longxing Temple. 166 Reading Network
