Chapter Eighty-Four: Apprenticeship
Without waiting for Master Xile to continue to praise his apprentice and boast by the way, the host of Huaihua hurriedly ran over, and his always honest, loyal and calm face was still a little panicked.
"Master, Master, King An is here! King An is here! ”
I can't blame Senior Brother Huaihua for making a fuss, although His Royal Highness King An is still a child, but it is not comparable to ordinary bear children, just the word 'King An' has the terrifying effect of stopping children's night crying.
Huaihua took his disciples to beg for a living in the capital, and usually came into contact with some peace-minded believers, but he couldn't resist the name of King An, and the people in Buddhism would inevitably suffer.
It is said that a monk sent by the official the year before last who took a good sycophant and poured good chicken soup planned to brush up on the favorability of the county lord of Minglan on a whim.
A crippled leg is not a disease, but a crippled heart is deadly. The sunshine is always after the wind and rain, and the disabled will be strong, and a chicken soup feast is full of passion, and before he gets home, he was blocked on the street by King An and smoked into a dew pig. The bad news was still to come, and the next morning, this lord was mistakenly sent to the border of the Northland, and Amway's irascible war maniac went to the next morning.
Since then, a generation of official monks has lived in the border pass for a long time, and his tongue has been frozen into mute.
In the eyes of many people, there is nothing wrong with this adult, and he comforted people kindly, but Wang An didn't appreciate it, and even bit back, it was really kind to feed Wang!
No matter how famous such a demon star is, it stands to reason that there will be no intersection with Huaihua, who is honest and loyal to the people, but as soon as Master Xile entered Beijing, he didn't know where a rumor came out, saying that Master Xile has superb medical skills and can live and die with flesh and bones, and the leg of the county lord of Minglan will be able to stand up again if he can't go to Master Xile.
This kind of words can be spread to Xirakuji Temple, which shows how fierce the rumors outside are.
Huaihua has followed the master for more than ten years, and has experienced the plague of the year together, and the master's medical skills are naturally clearer than others. If Master's medical skills were really as powerful as rumored, Emperor Jiayuan would have asked Master to show Lord Minglan's leg when he was in Beijing before, so where would he have waited until today.
Why did such rumors suddenly come out, the honest and loyal host of Huaihua couldn't help but blacken.
After all, he is the presiding officer of Kirakuji Temple. Inspired by Master's reputation, he knew better than anyone else that Master's prestige in Beijing was gradually growing. Not to mention how many high-ranking monks have been blocked from advancing the Dao, and how many civil and military officials have been subjected to verbal attacks, how much business has been robbed of nearby temples since the opening of the dojo in Xile Temple alone. That's enough for them to hold grudges.
Not to mention. King An is not easy to provoke, and it is not easy to dismiss.
With King An's temperament that is difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, if Master Xile is beaten by King An, and then provokes Emperor Jiayuan, who protects his shortcomings, to be unhappy and directly sent to the frontier, many people will dream of hehehe.
Yesterday, King An of Dongyuan forced Du Xiaoxi to accept the matter of the lord of Minglan County as a senior sister, although it has been rumored in Beijing, everyone knows it. However, after all, Xirakuji Temple is a pure place of Buddhism, and the monks in the temple are not fun, so they don't know what happened yesterday. Huaihua also thought that King An was confused by rumors and brought his sister to let the master treat his legs, and the whole person was scared to death.
Isn't it just a little kid who hasn't grown any hair, I'm very afraid!
Master Xile saw that the big apprentice's bear was hateful, but the old man wanted to see how cruel King An was, how snake spirit disease was, so that you would be scared into dogs one by one.
Shang Xiaowang has been paying attention to Du Xiaoxi's movements since yesterday, and today Du Xiaoxi returned to Xile Temple with his front foot, and Shang Mingrui cleaned up his back foot and followed his sister slowly. Estimating that the pair of masters and apprentices had said almost, they asked people to speed up their pace and knocked on the door of Xile Temple.
For the temple, Shang Mingrui can't say that he likes it. However, because his sister likes to worship Buddha, he often goes to these men's nests.
It was the first time for Shang Mingrui of Xile Temple to come, but he was unspeakably nervous, after all, he was afraid that his extravagant thoughts would come to naught.
In the end, the rumors of Master Xile's life and death affected Shang Mingrui, and he hoped that Master Xile was really as powerful as the rumors said, but there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him to accept his fate.
The girl's guard was left outside the temple, and Shang Mingrui pushed her sister and walked slowly towards the hall.
"Sister, did you say that Master Joy can cure your legs?" Shang Mingrui was so nervous that he mentioned a leg injury in front of his sister that no one could mention.
Shang Minglan's slightly white smile did not change in the slightest, she glanced at her legs under the thin blanket plainly, turned around and sat obliquely, and put one hand on Shang Mingrui's arm, "You are looking like again." Today we are here to visit Master Joy for the sake of accepting apprentices, to be honest, my sister really hopes that the words of the little girl yesterday will work, and today Master Joy will accept them. ”
Shang Mingrui smiled on his face, but he didn't think so, since his sister wanted to worship Master Xile as a master. Then he will definitely succeed, it's a big deal that he goes to the palace to ask the queen mother and uncle. As long as his sister wants to do it, he will do it.
The two of them walked slowly, leaving behind the grunt of wheelchairs and the low sounds of conversation accompanied by laughter blown away in the wind.
Master Joy led a group of people to stand at the door of the main hall to greet him, who made the family a prince? What the little girl said was right. There are a lot of benefits for this apprentice to accept, at least the apprentice who comes to be a master in the future doesn't have to go out to greet him.
The group moved to the main hall, and Lord An Xiaowang was not allowed to sit on the top with Master Xile, and the wheelchair of the county lord of Minglan was parked next to Shang Mingrui.
After Master Xile sat down, he looked straight at Shang Minglan, secretly watching a small movie about the life of the little lady. Yesterday I received a letter from my apprentice, and my first thought was that something had happened between this person and his apprentice in his previous life, and then Master Joy was shocked, how could the monk's thoughts be so discordant, it was really a sin, a sin.
I forgot that my apprentice was the prince, and the prince and the cousin of the county lord could have a fart relationship.
Although the relationship between the two is not something that cannot be said, it is undeniable that the two must be in a group, otherwise the cold-hearted apprentice would not care whether he, the old man Cao, accepts the apprentice or not.
Filled with curiosity, Master Xile planned to explore the memories of Lord Minglan to see if the two had anything to do when they were young.
Pictures flashed one after another, the loving and gentle mother, the silent and brave father, the delicate and lovely brother, the innocent and happy little county lord, was once so beautiful.
Yiqiē was wiped out after a palace banquet, his father died tragically, his mother died of injuries, and the little county lord also lost his legs in order to protect his younger brother. But looking at his younger brother who is growing up day by day, the little county lord never regrets it.
Don't wait for the joy to be seen. Shang Mingrui's face became darker and darker, and he stared gloomily at the old monk who was looking straight at his sister.
"What do you mean, old monk?" The teacup in Shang Mingrui's hand slammed on the table, if it weren't for the scruples of the sister next to him, the teacup would have already smashed on the old face of the old monk opposite.
Shang Mingrui was furious and furious. What does it mean that the old monk in front of you keeps staring at his sister? Is it peeking at my sister's legs? Still don't want to take my sister as an apprentice?
Roared by the legendary Shang Xiao Wangye, Master Xile's obedient transformation target turned his head to look at Shang Mingrui.
The Master of Joy didn't speak, just watched faintly... Looking...
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes that seem to know everything and perceive everything, Shang Mingrui is still a child after all. No one had ever stared at him so straight before because of his identity, and his heart tightened for a while, and a thin sweat soaked out of his palms.
As a high monk, the most important thing is to have self-knowledge, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can shoot the opponent to death. Master Xile still decided to take a look at how cruel, ruthless, and vexatious the legendary little prince was.
Countless memories slowly advanced, and Master Xile's eyes suddenly opened slightly, and he suddenly pressed the pause button in the flying memory, staying at the original palace banquet.
The opulent and jubilant banquet was chaotic due to the presence of the Assassins. The woman screamed in terror, the child cried in fear, and the guards fought to the death.
At the top of the banquet, the silent and honest man in the royal robe was lying in the arms of the man in the dragon robe, and the palace maid at his feet was pierced through the chest by the man in the royal robe; The weak woman in palace clothes at the table below had already fainted, and the six or seven-year-old girl was lying motionless on the ground, and from her shoulder, you could see the frightened eyes of the little boy who was pressed under her, and the masked man in black in those eyes looked like a hellish Shura.
Shang Xiao Wang Ye is really going to blow up! If Shang Minglan hadn't been holding his arm tightly, she would have jumped up and down by pointing at Master Xile's nose.
Master Joy sighed and said earnestly, "The matter of accepting apprentices." The poor monk and the county lord have a fate. ”
Shang Minglan couldn't help but jump up with excitement when she heard this, and a thin layer of light bloomed on her pale face, so that everyone could feel the joy from the heart. Shang Minglan looked at Master Xile and said respectfully, "Apprentice to meet Master!" ”
Master Joy stroked his well-maintained beard and nodded with a smile, "Good, good!!" ”
Shang Mingrui was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Great." I heard that the master's medical skills are unique, and since the master has taken my sister as an apprentice, I also asked the master to help my sister look at her legs. Shang Xiao Wang Ye immediately kicked his nose and put forward the ultimate goal of this trip.
In the eyes of Shang Xiao Wangye, Master, Master, one day is a teacher and a father for life. Since you have the courage to be a cheap father, you have to be responsible for the apprentices, and it is natural to treat your sister's legs as a master. I can't shirk it.
Master Xile had long known that the purpose of this bear child's apprenticeship was to treat his sister's leg, and he was glad that the old man had been prepared.
"What the little prince wants, the poor monk can't do anything."
Looking at Shang Xiaowangye's constant swiping of the screen, 'it is natural for the master to treat the apprentice's illness, and the master of joy will definitely do his best. The Master of Joy had to sigh, this child is too sweet. If he can't, he can't change from a Mongolian doctor to an orthopedic surgeon!
The light in Shang Mingrui's eyes dimmed, and then the anger in his heart rose, he scared a little girl to let the old monk take in an apprentice just to treat his sister's leg, and now he actually said that there was nothing he could do, Shang Mingrui felt that he had been deceived. The apprentice can't cure my sister's legs, and I'm still worshipping a fart!
Seeing that the little prince was about to blow up, Master Xile smiled kindly, "My Buddha is merciful and angry, although he is not good at the apprentice's leg, he can also help the apprentice avenge the broken leg." ”
When the words of the joyful master fell, the whole hall was shocked.
In that year, Prince Yong died in order to save Emperor Jiayuan, the county lord of Minglan was cut off by a knife for his younger brother, a prince was killed on the spot, and a prince was cut off an arm, and many high-ranking officials and noblewomen suffered heavy casualties. This assassination can be said to be the greatest humiliation of the royal family after the founding of the Great Shang.
After the incident, Emperor Jiayuan changed his gentle style and washed Kyoto in blood, and countless people were buried with Prince Yong. At that time, the final result of the investigation was the long-planned counterattack of King Zhao, who failed to seize the heir and was imprisoned.
For this result, Emperor Jiayuan did not believe it, King Zhao had been imprisoned for many years, and his forces had already been eaten away by Emperor Jiayuan, and he was not capable of making such a large-scale assassination. But all the evidence pointed to King Zhao, and he couldn't find the person hiding behind it.
Although Shang Mingrui is young, he has been tracking down the assassin of the year because the assassin who hurt his sister successfully absconded back then. Although there is no progress, Shang Mingrui believes that a big living person will not disappear in vain, and one day he will be able to find it. Avenge your parents, avenge your sister.
"What did you say?" Shang Ming got up sharply and rushed to Master Xile and reached out to pull Master Xile's collar, but fortunately, Master Xile reacted quickly enough and took advantage of his height, and he avoided being embarrassed in front of his apprentices by retreating backwards.
said that this is a dangerous topic, not to mention that Du Xiaoxi, who is not stupid, is the honest host of Huaihua, who also knows that he is wise and foolish, and coughed and said: "Master, there are still some chores to deal with in the temple, so I will leave first." ”
As soon as Huaihua left, Du Xiaoxi walked out with Liu Yao and Du Zhiqian, who were excited and planned to listen, and Huaiming followed out and closed the door for the master intimately, leaving only Master Xile and the merchant sisters and brothers in the hall.
Waiting for all the irrelevant people to leave, Master Xile immediately said with a masterful demeanor: "The poor monk just calculated for Minglan's apprentice and found that the person who caused the apprentice's fate had a fate. ”
The dignified county lord, what calamity can the golden branches and jade leaves have?
The catastrophe in the life of the county lord of Minglan was just to save his younger brother who injured his leg, and the person who caused the catastrophe could it be the assassin of the year?
"That's right, the Assassin of the past. Although the Assassin was masked and concealed, he could deduce from his exposed facial features, and the poor monk had seen people with the same personality when he was traveling in the South Mountains. ”
Shang Mingrui and Shang Minglan were shocked when they heard this, they didn't believe that they could know another person's fate just by one side, but this person was not a close family member, but an enemy who didn't share the sky.
Shang Minglan has been fond of Buddhism since she was a child, and after her leg injury, she was immersed in Buddhism. The Queen Mother took pity on her youngest son's only daughter and often asked her granddaughter to send her to the Huangjue Temple. has been in contact with Master Renhe for a long time, and Shang Minglan also knows the skills of some senior monks. It's unbelievable that Master Xile is like this.
"Nanling?" Shang Mingrui repeated with trembling lips.
"That's right! Southridge! ”
……
The lord of Minglan County worshipped Master Joy as a teacher, and when the people of Kyoto thought that Master Joy would definitely refuse, he didn't expect to be really accepted by Master Joy.
As for what happened on the day of the apprenticeship, no one knows, but the little prince Shang, who has always had no good face for Buddhism, actually bowed down under the robe of Master Xile, and since then he has been extremely respectful.
