Shi Qingyi looked at an invitation in front of him in a daze, because this invitation was sent by Fan Qinghui, the lord of Cihang Jingzhai at this time, to invite Her Royal Highness Princess Qin to discuss Buddhism with her, located in a sparsely populated nunnery outside Chang'an City, where Fan Qinghui lived at this time, and Shi Qingyi, it was precisely because of such an invitation that he fell into deep thought.

"If you think it's dangerous, it's a big deal that we don't go!" Li Yan on the side said: "Even if she recognizes your identity, after all, your status at this time did not come out of thin air, but in the past, the two ladies of the Li family overrode public opinion, and strongly advocated for you to marry into the Li family, although the two ladies at this time have passed away, but even so, at this time within the Li Tang royal family, the influence of the two of them still exists, so even if Li Yuan does not know the truth, he will definitely not be embarrassed for you for this matter, how can Fan Qinghui help you!" Li Yan said.

At this time, Li Yan's body has grown into a cardamom girl, and on the contrary, her martial arts at this time have also recovered to about sixty percent of the former Yin Hou, in this way, although she can't be compared with Fan Qinghui at this time, but if she just wants to save her life in the hands of Fan Qinghui, it is not difficult, and it is precisely because of this that Li Yan at this time is full of confidence in participating in some problems of Shi Qingyi, after all, once as a generation of Yin Queen, Li Yan's nearly 70 years of experience in her life is definitely not what ordinary people can imagine, and there is no one who can replace Shi Qingyi's help now.

However, when Shi Qingyi heard this, she just smiled and shook her head, and then refused her suggestion: "No, this time." I'm going to see her anyway! Shi Qingyi said: "Indeed, Fan Qinghui doesn't dare to do anything to me, even if she already knows my identity at this time and wants to deal with me, then she must know the reaction of the Li Tang royal family after revealing my identity." Let's not talk about Li Shimin, at least, she must be extremely vigilant about Tang Emperor Li Yuan's thoughts! After all, hehe! ”

Li Yuan was in trouble on the rivers and lakes when he was a teenager, and he was in love with his sworn brother Yue Shan for a generation of Jingzhai fairy Bixiuxin, this matter was known to everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty, and Fan Qinghui, as the lord of Cihang Jingzhai at this time, how could he not notice this. Even if Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty at this time didn't know that Shi Qingyi was the princess of Qin at this time, and he had lost his awe for the two wives of the Li family who had died, what would he think about the fact that the daughter of the goddess who was in love in the past had become his daughter-in-law? No matter how you look at it, rashly revealing Shi Qingyi's identity is not a particularly strict bad thing for Shi Qingyi, but on the contrary. This incident will only deepen Li Yuan's dislike for Cihang Jingzhai because of this, and the gains outweigh the losses.

So. Fan Qinghui will send an invitation to Shi Qingyi at this time, wanting to observe Shi Qingyi's current situation at this time, and no matter what her purpose is, during this period of time, Fan Qinghui will definitely not be unfavorable to Shi Qingyi, so Shi Qingyi can naturally go with peace of mind. And Shi Qingyi. I also really want to see this uncle who I haven't seen for many years, after all, many things back then, as a person who personally participated, Fan Qinghui knew a lot of inside stories that Shi Qingyi didn't know. She really wanted to get these things from Fan Qinghui's mouth.

So, when the day of the appointment arrived, Shi Qingyi took several guards and maids in the Qin Palace's mansion to the place where Fan Qinghui was, and I have to say that as a reclusive cultivator, the temporary residence that Fan Qinghui chose for himself was really a treasure of feng shui.

Although because of the sparse population, this nunnery must be extremely rare pilgrims, so the economic situation is also extremely tight, after arriving at the nunnery, Shi Qingyi's eyes everywhere, whether it is the clothes of the nuns, or the simple house buildings in the nunnery, it undoubtedly shows this, however, compared with the poverty of life, the environment of the nunnery is extremely elegant and suitable, and, because there is no hustle and bustle of the world, choosing to practice here is the most ideal environment to concentrate on and not be disturbed. In contrast, such a famous mountain and river ancient temple and temple, although there are many pilgrims, the wealth is rolling, but because of this, even if it is in the deep mountains, it is still full of people, not to mention that the heart of the practitioner can not be calm, that is, the worldly luxury and erosive life, it is enough to corrode the will of almost all those who have the heart of the Tao, how can it be called the spiritual holy land of religious belief, but it is just a false appearance.

Shi Qingyi and Fan Qinghui sat opposite each other, and at this time they had cleared all the idle people out of this quiet room, and the beautiful name said, "The law does not pass on to the outer ears!" And so, at this moment, whatever they say, they don't have to worry about being heard by anyone else. So, Shi Qingyi first bowed to Fan Qinghui and sat on the ground: "Uncle Qinghui, long time no see!" Between the words, he has revealed his identity without hesitation.

And after Fan Qinghui heard this, her face was still the same, obviously, she already knew that the princess of Qin at this time was Shi Qingyi, but she saw her staring at Shi Qingyi with her eyes, as if she wanted to see something else from this face, and what she wanted to see from Shi Qingyi's face, Shi Qingyi could guess it herself, so in the face of Fan Qinghui's gaze, Shi Qingyi did not have any anxiety and vigilance, she just faced Fan Qinghui like this, let her look at her face carefully, At the same time, her eyes were also fixed on Fan Qinghui's face, carefully observing the expression on her face.

Looking at Shi Qingyi's face and the gaze projected by Shi Qingyi, Fan Qinghui's face seemed to be happy and sad, and it wasn't until a long time later that she seemed to wake up from a dream and said a sentence: "I didn't expect that decades have passed, but you and your mother are becoming more and more alike!" Her voice was complex, and it seemed to hide deep feelings, however, they were all deliberately concealed by her.

"There's no way, after all, I'm her daughter, and now I'm also the mother of three children, at this time, I will naturally understand my mother's mood back then!" Shi Qingyi said: "But. I am extremely happy to hear you say that I am very similar to my mother, and I think that Uncle Shi's mood at this time is exactly the same as mine! Shi Qingyi said, and then deliberately watched the change in the expression on Fan Qinghui's face, and then. She saw that on Fan Qinghui's face, she could no longer suppress a sad expression.

"Back then, it was Uncle Shi who was sorry for your family, if it weren't for me, Senior Sister would not have died, and your father would not have gone insane because of this, and your sisters would not have suffered so much because of this, if it had been. If I could have been stronger, then maybe this qiē would not have happened! Can you forgive me? ”

I saw Fan Qinghui suddenly lower his head, and then whispered to Shi Qingyi. However, Shi Qingyi didn't answer her immediately, she just quietly looked at Fan Qinghui who lowered her head, and a sneer pulled out of the corner of her mouth, however, it quietly disappeared when Fan Qinghui raised her head. However, when Fan Qinghui raised his head. When looking at her face that was already full of tears, Shi Qingyi's heart, which he originally thought would never waver, was still stabbed fiercely, this woman, even if she was already the lord of Cihang Jingzhai at this time, the spiritual leader of the righteous path in the world. But is her affection for her former senior sister Bi Xiuxin still the same as before?

In Shi Qingyi's memory, this uncle who came down from Cihang Jingzhai, although she is extremely beautiful, whenever she comes to the valley to visit her mother. Although she always pretended to be smiling in front of her mother, however, when Bi Xiuxin's figure disappeared in front of her, Fan Qinghui's eyes would unconsciously reveal a strong hatred for the entire valley Xiaozhu, perhaps, she thought she was hiding it well, but she definitely couldn't hide the eyes of Shi Qingyi, who had always been wary of her, and therefore, from the beginning, Shi Qingyi knew that this uncle had always hated more than loved himself and his little sister.

Why does she hate herself and her sister so strongly, Shi Qingyi knows it, because the two of them are the daughters of the evil king Shi Zhixuan, the evil king Shi Zhixuan, a generation of demons, not only was he in danger back then, but also insulted the fairy from Cihang Jingzhai in the decisive battle between good and evil, and forced the fairy to marry him in the end, although the demon king also lived in seclusion because of this and did not do evil, but for Cihang Jingzhai, of course, it was a great shame, and the former Bixiu Xin was the most outstanding successor of Cihang Jingzhai, Not to mention the martial arts, not to mention, is the gentle and elegant personality and beautiful appearance, which also makes all the women in the world bow down to it, even the genius Fan Qinghui, who is second only to Bixiu Xin in Cihang Jingzhai, is also full of extreme admiration for this senior sister, not to mention the other disciples of Jingzhai.

However, such an almost flawless woman was not only insulted by the evil king, but also had to be willing to feed the devil with her body for the sake of the common people in the world, and married the evil king. Such a result, Fan Qinghui, who became the successor of Cihang Jingzhai after Bi Xiuxin, of course couldn't bear it, especially later, when she found out that her senior sister was not a demon as rumored by the outside world, but really fell in love with the devil and wanted to live with him, so she gave birth to children for him, Fan Qinghui, the successor of Cihang Jingzhai at that time, finally couldn't bear it, not only the hatred for the evil king was more obvious, but also the hatred was transferred to the two daughters of the evil king and Bi Xiuxin, Shi Qingyi and Shi Qingxuan.

Fan Qinghui's mind was actually unable to hide from Bi Xiuxin, who was still alive at the time, however, she always pretended not to know, and Shi Qingyi naturally didn't want her mother to worry about it, so she was absolutely silent, just like that, until Bi Xiuxin's death, and since then, Fan Qinghui has never stepped into the valley again.

A few years later, Shi Qingyi left home, and at that time, she had just turned thirteen years old, she entrusted her sister to the elder Yue Shan, who had been with the two sisters at that time, to take care of her, and she left the valley alone and went to the outside world, wanting to find a hope for herself, that hope was so unattainable for the young Shi Qingyi at that time, but at that time, Shi Qingyi was the only thing that Shi Qingyi could insist on in this world, and therefore Shi Qingyi would have no scruples. even spared his own life, "As long as I can fulfill my wish and seek justice for her, this is enough!" This is what Shi Qingyi thought in his heart when he walked out of the valley in the past.

The mother was killed by the people of Cihang Jingzhai, which is the thought that has been ingrained in Shi Qingyi's heart for many years. But in Cihang Jingzhai, which was listed as an enemy by Shi Qingyi, Fan Qinghui was not among them, because although she was full of hostility to Shi Qingyi's sisters, Shi Qingyi could see from her words and deeds that Fan Qinghui. She has always had a kind of admiring feelings for her senior sister, so even if she hated her senior sister's betrayal, she couldn't extinguish the intimate feelings in her heart for this senior sister, Fan Qinghui would never participate in killing the senior sister she liked, so in the same way, unless Fan Qinghui made a move on herself, Shi Qingyi would not regard her as her enemy.

At this time, facing Fan Qinghui, who was begging for forgiveness with tears streaming down his face. Shi Qingyi's face changed for a long time before he finally pulled out a smile: "Uncle Shi, why do you bother, all these years, after all, my mother will never be resurrected, right?" But in fact, I have never been angry with you. After all, from the beginning, in many things. You are as involuntary as your mother, and besides, you already knew my identity at this time, but you have kept it hidden until now, and have not revealed it to my enemies, from a point of view. I should be very grateful to you, and where can I hold any resentment! Shi Qingyi said. However, when she said these words, her eyes were taken away from Fan Qinghui's face and looked away, which showed that although the words were kind. But deep down, she doesn't want to be what she looks like on the outside.

Of course, Shi Qingyi's actions were also seen by Fan Qinghui, and coupled with the words she had just said, Fan Qinghui's eyes were filled with a look of worry: "Your enemy? Why until now, you still have to take revenge, refuse to give up hatred and live well, and be a good wife and mother! You must know that it was the life that your mother wanted the most, but now, why can you still give up the life that your mother once wanted the most for hatred? ”

"Because I don't want to forget!" Shi Qingyi said to Fan Qinghui: "Besides, don't talk about me, even Uncle Qinghui, can you forget your mother lightly?" Shi Qingyi smiled and looked at the Jingzhai Lord opposite, but Fan Qinghui was instantly speechless because of Shi Qingyi's rhetorical question.

"I think I already know what you're thinking! So, thank you for loving me! Shi Qingyi looked at Fan Qinghui and said in a calm tone: "After all, even my father, who is afraid of the whole world, can only flee in front of that person, hehe, the martial arts of our master ancestor are indeed infinitely close to the broken void, so even if the three great masters of the world are combined at this time, I am afraid that they are not her opponents, but so what?" I saw Shi Qingyi laughing softly: "Since the death of my mother, revenge for my mother has become my only wish in this life, so no one or thing can change my decision, even Uncle Qinghui, of course, it can't, and even if she will shatter the void in the future and become a god in the flesh, then I will definitely follow the same and kill her in the fairy world to wash away the injustice that my mother received during her lifetime." She said it categorically, so Fan Qinghui immediately understood that Shi Qingyi would never change her mind.

"Why? Why are you all so arbitrary, but you never think about the slightest feeling of others! Fan Qinghui suddenly became excited, so she had to lower her voice because of this: "Your mother was like this back then!" The same is true of the Master! Why is it that even you are like this now! Don't you know that she is not only your ancestor, but also my and your mother's master, so no matter what she has done to me and your mother, it is absolutely impossible for us to resent her! In that case, then why are you going to fight with her, are you still pretending not to know, whether it is her or you, I can't lose any of them! ”

The sadness in Fan Qinghui's eyes, solemn as if to freeze the whole world, since that year, she lost the most admirable senior sister, so many years, only remorse and sorrow are left in her world, and now, she finally saw the shadow of the person she admired in the past from Shi Qingyi's body, however, Shi Qingyi also chose another desperate path that she did not want to see, and walked unswervingly, so that Fan Qinghui's heart, in addition to sadness, there was only a piece of despair.

"Because, if I don't do that, then. I wouldn't be who I am now! Although Shi Qingyi was still smiling, however, her eyes were already scarlet, it was because of her ancestor that her home was gone, and her father was schizophrenic and left the country. The mother also died a few years later, such a bitter hatred, if she wanted Shi Qingyi to give up, she couldn't do it.

Shi Qingyi picked up the sword that had been placed at his feet and put it in front of Fan Qinghui: "This Tianxin sword is a thing used by my mother before her death, although I am extremely attached to it, but I also know that this is a thing of Cihang Jingzhai." Now, it's time for the thing to be returned to its original owner, and from now on, there will be no more relationship between you and me, please don't meddle in my battle with Cihang Jingzhai, okay? "That sword, the style of the appearance is simple and elegant, it is Bi Xiuxin's Tianxin sword. It is also Shi Qingyi's "Shiyu", when it is in the hands of Bi Xiuxin. The sword was only used to save the common people, but it was never stained with human blood, but later, when it reached Shi Qingyi's hands, the weight of the killing had already dyed the clear sword body bright red.

"What you said. Do I have to agree? Fan Qinghui also laughed: "You know, I am the master of Cihang Jingzhai at this time, and I am also your uncle, no matter what aspect it is, you want your uncle to listen to you obediently." But it is also impossible! She said, and then suddenly made a move, slapped the sword body in Shi Qingyi's hand with her right hand, and wanted Shi Qingyi to take back the long sword: "This sword, it's better to stay in your hand honestly!" ”

It must be known that Fan Qinghui, as the contemporary master of Cihang Jingzhai, has been practicing hard for many years, and her martial arts have long been superb, even if she is not as good as the evil king Shi Zhixuan and the three great masters, it is not much different, at least in her opinion, even if Shi Qingyi is extremely talented, and has a bitter hatred so that her martial arts have been advancing by leaps and bounds, she will definitely not be her opponent, so for this shot, she is full of confidence, thinking that she can force Shi Qingyi's move back, however, in the next moment, A stunned look flashed in her eyes, because at that moment, Shi Qingyi withdrew his hand with a smile, and then said: "Since this is the case, then, thank you Uncle for understanding Tsing Yi's painstaking efforts!" And that handful of "time rain". But when Fan Qinghui didn't notice it, it was already in her outstretched hand.

Fan Qinghui looked at the long sword in her hand blankly, and after a long time, she turned to look at Shi Qingyi, looking at Shi Qingyi's pretending to smile, and then, after all, she could only sigh, "I didn't expect that in just these ten years, you have grown to the point where you have surpassed me!" Looks like I really can't stop you! Fan Qinghui said, and at this time, she looked at Shi Qingyi's expression was extremely complicated, not only proud of this niece's talent and efforts, but also discouraged and frustrated because of her decision to never repent: "But even if you are like this, you are still fierce and unlucky to the old man who respects her master, even so, you still have to insist on going your own way and refuse to take a step back?" ”

Shi Qingyi still smiled slightly: "Then in Uncle Shi's opinion, how much is the gap between me and that ancestor, let me state in advance, at the time of Fang Cai's temptation, I haven't used my full strength yet?" She said, and at the same time looked at Fan Qinghui fixedly, and it was this gaze that made Fan Qinghui see the confidence in Shi Qingyi's heart, she didn't speak, so the reason why she would take revenge was not just because of hatred, but also because she had absolute confidence.

So, in front of Shi Qingyi's self-confidence, Fan Qinghui suddenly found that in the depths of his heart, something called imprisonment was quietly shattered: "Yes, with the passage of time, these once young juniors have also grown into adults, they have their own ideas, and they can also move forward without regrets for the path they have chosen, in contrast, their own approach is so ridiculous, just like what that person did many years ago, Although the starting point of that person at that time was actually to protect the children, but that approach eventually led to an irreparable tragedy, so that at this point today, I didn't expect that at this time, I was still repeating that person's mistakes, and I was still delusional about changing the mind of the daughter of the senior sister in front of me, which was really, stupid! Fan Qinghui's heart was a little self-deprecating.

Because she let go of the heavy burden of thought, at this moment, Fan Qinghui had never felt so relaxed, and then, she put "Shi Yu" in her hand, and then looked at it carefully. Looking at the originally clear and bright sword body, but at this time it was shrouded in a cold scarlet color, Fan Qinghui couldn't help but think in his heart, how Shi Qingyi had survived countless battles with this long sword in the past ten years. to be able to get to this point. After a long time, Fan Qinghui raised his head and looked at Shi Qingyi: "Since I can't make you change your decision, then at least, can you listen to Uncle Shi tell an unrelated story?" This story is about the experience of a woman's unfortunate life! Fan Qinghui said to Shi Qingyi.

"Absolutely!" Shi Qingyi said: "As long as it is the story you tell, no matter what it is, I will complete it until I finish listening to it!" ”

……

Shi Qingyi left, while Fan Qinghui kept looking at the direction she left. She didn't move for a long time, until Shi Fei Xuan walked out of the door behind her and called her master softly, which woke her up from her trance. "Master!" I saw that Concubine Xuan also looked at Fan Qinghui with a complicated face: "I didn't expect that she was actually the daughter of Uncle Xiuxin, no wonder she was so hostile to me as a disciple of Jingzhai at the beginning!" Shi Fei Xuan said, it turned out to be in Fangcai. Shi Fei Xuan hid near the door behind Fan Qinghui and took in all the conversations between the two. Because of this, she was able to learn the origin of Shi Qingyi, as well as the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, of course, the reason why she was able to hide there was not that Shi Qingyi did not notice her. Rather, since this is what Fan Qinghui meant, of course Shi Qingyi also had to give face to this uncle, so he didn't say anything.

And speaking of which, for Fan Qinghui's thoughts. Shi Qingyi naturally did not find it difficult to guess that her mind was nothing more than to let this disciple eavesdrop on the truth of what happened back then, so that Shi Fei Xuan could be educated in this conversation, so that in the future, she could become a qualified heir of Cihang Jingzhai.

It's just that at this time, Concubine Xuan looked at her master Fan Qinghui, and her face was sad: "Master, I really didn't expect that Uncle Xiuxin would be so wronged back then, although I had vaguely guessed that Uncle Shi might indeed be in love with the demon of the evil king Shi Zhixuan!" She said, and then looked at Fan Qinghui: "It's just that now, the daughter of the master has made it clear that she is going to fight with the master and the ancestor endlessly, so what can we do now?" At this time, the concubine Xuan's words were full of worry: "What's more, because you have hidden it from the master many times before, the master at this time no longer trusts you, and it is very likely that she has also learned about the situation of the master and uncle's daughter through other channels, what should we do now to stop the two of them from fighting each other?" ”

I saw Fan Qinghui exhale a long breath of turbidity, and after a long time, a word came out of her mouth: "Wait!" ”

"Wait?"

"Yes, only wait!" Fan Qinghui looked at his beloved disciple and said, "Because whether it is your master ancestor or the daughter of your Xiuxin master, neither of them is the kind of person who will change their determination because of the intervention of others, so unless they fight to the death in the end, we can't do anything!" But fortunately, at least so far, if they want to fight to the death like that, neither of them has such a chance! Fan Qinghui said: "After all, in Chang'an City at this time, the wind and rain are about to become more and more intense, and the daughter of your Xiuxin master is lacking in skills at this time, so she will definitely not leave Chang'an at this time to go to the peak of the Xishu Emperor and challenge your ancestors." And your ancestor is the same, because she is afraid that she may be involved in the entire Cihang Jingzhai because of this, so at this sensitive time, she will never set foot in Chang'an City, but for me, it is good news: as long as the time for them to fight to the death comes, then for me, the more happy it will be! ”

Fan Qinghui's words made Concubine Xuan very sad, after all, those two people were not people that Fan Qinghui could influence, and therefore, their master and apprentice could only sit and watch the two of them fight each other desperately, without any way to stop it.

Just when Concubine Xuan was thinking about her own thoughts in her heart, she didn't notice that at this time, a trace of firmness and determination had appeared in her master's eyes, and that firm look had never been seen before by Concubine Xuan.

"Senior sister! No matter what, I will protect this daughter of yours and will never let her repeat your previous mistakes! Fan Qinghui said to himself in his heart......

After a large-scale debate between the government and the opposition, the monks, celebrities, and real people from all over the country left Chang'an and returned to their respective places again, but Li Yuan used the unfavorable side of Buddhism found in the debate, and referred to the policy of Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui in the past, to restrict Buddhism, and finally issued an order to restrict Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty at this time, but among them, the second thousand-year-old Taoist sect was also implicated: among the Buddhist believers in the country, Those who are extremely proficient in cultivation can move to the big monasteries and Taoist temples, and the state will provide food and clothing, while the rest of the people are ordered to return to their hometowns and let them return to their hometowns, and keep three Buddhist temples and two Taoist temples in Chang'an City, while only one is allowed to be retained in the rest of the state cities, and all the others are abolished.

Of course, because the Tang Dynasty at this time did not really unify the whole country, therefore, this order is not only completely unbinding on the Jiangnan area, but also on the Bashu, Nanliang hometown area may not have much effect, however, even so, for the actual control of the Li Tang area in the north, the impact is also great, with the abolition of most of the Buddhist temples in the north, the monks who were originally idle and idle production have returned home, and have become an important productive force in the society, for the enhancement of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, It has played a great role in promoting.
