"Go back to the prison or go to the torture chamber?" Yang Muyun said to Shan Qi and Chao Wu, who were standing there in a daze.

Shan Qi and Chao Wu looked at each other, they were far away, and they couldn't hear exactly what the two said, they could only see Yin Tiansui jumping like thunder in the pavilion from a distance.

"Looks like I'll be able to get rid of the pain of a meal today." Yang Muyun smiled and walked between the two, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and followed closely.

......

Yang Muyun sat in the dungeon of the cell, holding a small pebble in his hand and scratching something on the ground.

With a bang, the door to the opposite cell opened, and two prison guards dragged a lifeless body out of it.

Yang Muyun's face lifted slightly, and his face did not show surprise. This was the seventh time the jailer had dragged the corpse in front of him, and he was no longer surprised. Life is so fragile in this eerie and cruel situation. He glanced at the gray-clothed monk in the corner who was still reciting scriptures, could it be that this master was overspending himself for these dead souls?

"This Song Qianxu is also the imperial history of Xicheng's city patrol, and Ping Suri also led the hundred and tenth people majestically through the streets of the capital," a jailer glanced at the dragged corpse, "I didn't expect to be dragged out of here by our brothers like dead dogs." ”

"This scholar is too weak to withstand torture," said another jailer, "and before he could make two appearances, he was dead." ”

"Don't talk about this scholar, even if this person is cast in copper and iron, he will be melted into the furnace of the East Factory," the jailer smiled earlier, "You must know that no one has been able to survive the thirty-six punishments of our East Factory." ”

"It's a pity that the concubine he recruited was sent to the teaching department as soon as he gave birth to a son......" The two of them spoke, and they gradually walked away.

Yang Muyun's heart moved, remembering the previous conversation between the brocade robe scribe and the scholar in Tsing Yi in front of Kaiyuan Temple, and once mentioned that Song Qianxu, the imperial history of Xicheng, was raided by Dongchang, and even the newborn baby was abandoned and no one took care of it.

"What I saved should be Song Qianxu's newborn son, this may be the certainty in the dark," Yang Muyun thought thoughtfully, "And Zi Su insists on adopting this child, maybe this is fate." Thinking of this, I blamed myself for a while, since I married Zisu, I have not performed the Zhou Gong ceremony with her, and she is still perfect until now. When a woman marries a man, she takes her husband and children for granted, but she has not been married to her for a long time, so it is no wonder that she will not be able to give up when she sees the child. Women have a mother's nature!

Yang Muyun glanced at the gray-clothed monk in the corner of the wall who seemed to be chanting scriptures all day and night, and his snow-white beard would tremble slightly when he recited the scriptures, which only then could he reveal his slight difference from the stone carvings and wood sculptures.

"This old monk is about seventy, and his spirit is still so strong, I don't know why he entered this factory prison as an outsider." Yang Muyun threw the pebble in his hand and said to the gray-clothed monk: "Master, if someone does evil in this world, someone will suffer, do you say there will be karma in this world?" ”

The gray-clothed monk's chanting stopped, and he said lightly, "There are no two ways of righteousness and evil, and you know the same path as all saints." There is no difference between delusion and enlightenment, and life and death are the same in Nirvana. Why should Childe be obsessed with his heart? ”

Yang Muyun didn't expect this gray-clothed monk to respond to his words, and his eyes flashed, "So the Buddha teaches people to be good, but he can't punish the wicked people and evil things in the world, so what's the use of good men and women who are dedicated to the Buddha?" ”

"The Buddha is merciful, and he specializes in overcoming the lost, how can he encounter a little injustice like all living beings in the world, that is, blood pours into the pupils, draws swords against each other, and blood splashes three feet. The Buddha did not do anything recklessly. The gray-clothed monk had a calm face and a clear voice: "The Buddha has clouds: the retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow, the cause and effect of the three lives, the cycle is not lost, this life is empty, and regret is not chasing." And why should you cling to retribution in this life? ”

"The afterlife that the master said is too illusory," Yang Muyun said: "Everything is waiting for the next life, then there is nothing to do in this life." ”

The corners of the gray-clothed monk's mouth moved, and his eyes were slightly closed without refuting.

Yang Muyun saw that the gray-clothed monk no longer spoke, so he slowly stood up, although the pain on his body was lightened compared to yesterday, but it still hurt badly, he gritted his teeth and trembled step by step to the gray-clothed monk and sat down cross-legged, learning from his appearance with his feet on his knees, his hands were fixed and printed under the umbilicus, his head was straight, his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked like he was meditating.

The gray-clothed monk opened his eyes, looked sideways at him, and said in surprise: "Isn't the son not believing in the words of Buddhism, why do you want to follow the example of a poor monk to meditate?" ”

"Actually, it's quite good to listen to the master's teachings," Yang Muyun said: "The words of the family are not enough, and I have been reading the books of sages since I was a child, and I am dedicated to gaining fame and fame, and becoming an official." Who knew that in such a catastrophe, in prison, and confused, maybe he could get relief from the master? ”

"Good, Gongzi can have this epiphany, quite wise," the gray-clothed monk said: "Life in the world is like being in the midst of thorns, the heart does not move, people do not move, and if they do not move, they will not hurt; If the heart moves, people move recklessly, hurt their bodies and hurt their bones, and then experience all kinds of pain in the world. Childe can reflect on it, fortunately! ”

"The master's words have been taught," Yang Muyun said: "The master is not a person in the world, he has no desires and no desires, how could he suffer from this unjustified disaster and fall into this Dongchang prison?" ”

"Not a man in the world but burdened by a man in the world," the gray-robed monk smiled slightly, "even if Bodhi is clear, it will inevitably get into the dust." If fate is a fate, why should you care where you are? Where in the world can you not practice, if you don't have nightmares in your heart, you should be blissful in prison! ”

"The master's words made Huo Ran's heart bright," Yang Muyun said: "I'm ashamed to say it, if I hadn't heard the master's Buddha's voice, I would have been crazy yesterday." ”

"Everyone has a demonic obstacle in their heart," said the gray-clothed monk, "Childe can listen to the Buddha's voice to cleanse his heart of demonic obstacles, and he should have a fate with my Buddha." ”

"So my destiny is to become a monk?" Yang Muyun asked.

"The fate of the son is not over, and the empty door is not yet expected," the gray-clothed monk said indifferently: "There is a Buddha in my heart, and all the places are empty; There is no Buddha in the heart, and the empty door is also worldly. ”

"I understand," Yang Muyun looked at him deeply, "Thank you, master!" ”

The gray-clothed monk chin lightly clicked, and then silently chanted again.

"I haven't consulted the master yet," Yang Muyun looked respectful, "It's a great pleasure to be able to get along with the master in the same room!" ”

"When we meet, why bother to get to the bottom of it?" The gray-clothed monk said lightly, "Isn't it enough to call each other?" ”

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Yang Muyun was no longer reluctant, and settled down with him, and for a while, the dark cell was full of Sanskrit sounds.

————————————

Qingyun Pavilion, with? Luoyuan is also known as one of the two major brothels in Beijing, and it sings and dances at night, and it is very lively.

In a large flower hall, a group of rough men sat around the table, each holding a delicate and lovely beauty in their arms and drinking wine. There is also a group of beauties tuning the strings and playing Ya music, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music is accompanied by the foul language spewing out of the mouths of the group of men, forming a bizarre picture.

"I said Master Shan," a man said to Shan Qi, who was dressed in civilian clothes, "Can you ask Mother Liang to call Liu Yunxi here, so that the brothers can see the demeanor of the first beauty in Beijing." As soon as his words fell, the rest of the men applauded.

"What are you making a fuss?" Shan Qi slammed the wine bowl on the table, snorting wine and shouting, "Do you know who Liu Yunxi is?" That's the people of the prince, you are all tired of being crooked, and even the women of the prince are robbed? ”

"Master Shan, are you too cautious?" A man staggered to his feet, and said with a big tongue: "What kind of prince, it's just a free king who has no position and no power in the idle capital, where are you afraid of him?" ”

"No matter how much you have no position or power, you are also a prince," Shan Qi glared at him, "Although we have the emperor's favor in Dongchang, can we not take other members of the royal family in our eyes?" ”

"Master Chao," the man turned to Chao Wu and said, "Master Shan is too cautious, brothers are just having fun, are you so serious?" ”

"Lao Qi," Chao Wu pushed away the woman beside him and said to Shan Qi: "What the brothers said is also true, no matter how famous she is, is she just a courtesan in Qinglou, will the prince really take her to heart?" Let her come out and ask the brothers to meet her, and just toast a round of wine, will she still eat her? ”

"Chao Ye is majestic!" The man gave him a thumbs up and glanced around at the other men, "Brothers, let's give you a drink!" ”

The other men stood up together, holding the wine cup in their hands and said: "Chao Ye is majestic, the little ones salute Chao Ye with a glass!" ”

"Okay—

Chao Wu also picked up the wine cup and glanced at Shan Qi, only to see that he was blushing, not standing, not sitting, and looking awkward.

......

"You've got it all arranged?" In a quiet room in the backyard, Liu Yunxi, who was dressed in elegant clothes, looked at Yuan Qi'er, who was wearing high temples and full makeup, and had picturesque eyebrows.

"Well," Yuan Qi'er bowed slightly, smiled lightly, and the pear vortex faded, "Thank you sister for your help." ”

"Don't thank me," Liu Yunxi sighed and said, "If my sister can't stay in the capital, I still have to rely on you to take my sister in?" By then......"

"If my sister can come to Mobei, my sister will bring officials to greet her," Yuan Qi'er hurriedly said: "Sister don't worry, my sister will not cause you trouble, and this Qingyun Pavilion sister will always be in charge." ”

"I hope so," Liu Yun said quietly: "I don't want Dongchang and Jinyiwei to be eyeing here, but I can't help you with this, just do things smarter." The corners of his lips curled slightly, looked at her and said, "Is it worth it for you to take the risk of staying in the capital for the sake of this man?" ”

"I don't know," Yuan Qi'er's eyes were a little complicated, "Abba said that I am smart and wise, never emotional, and a person who does big things, maybe this time I will disappoint him." After a slight pause, he continued: "This man saved me, and I married him, in this life, I can't give up him anymore." ”

"If he's so important to you, why are you designing to put him in prison?" Liu Yunxi asked.

"Keep all his thoughts here, if he is alone, how can he go back to Mobei with me?" Yuan Qi'er sighed leisurely.

"So that he will prostrate under your pomegranate skirt and be willing to accompany you for the rest of his life?" Liu Yunxi laughed.

"What can he do if he is unwilling?" Yuan Qi'er said: "The dream of continuing to be an official in the Ming court has been shattered, and people have also entered the prison of Dongchang, if you don't leave, it will be a dead end, for him, is there any other way to choose?" ”

"What if he would rather die than go with you?" As soon as Liu Yunxi said this, Yuan Qi'er's body shook violently, looked out the window, and was silent.

......

"Miss Yunxi is here." Liang's mother said with a smile. Behind her, a beautiful woman with clouds and sideburns, eyebrows, green mountains, and cut-eyes in autumn water has a slender waist, and her skirt drags six pieces of Xiangjiang River.

In the flower hall, the eyes of the Dongchang fans widened and let out a sigh of exclamation, the only fly in the ointment was that this beauty covered her face with a thin veil and did not show her face. Despite this, Zhong Fanzi only felt that every finger of her was extremely beautiful, and the other women in the hall were suddenly eclipsed.

"Miss Yun Xi," Chao Wu staggered to his feet, with an obscene smile on his face, "It's rare for you to give face to come to see us, why do you wear this Rausch veil on your face?" Wouldn't it be better for me to wait and see what it looks like? He stretched out his hand and was about to remove the veil from the beauty's face. Who knew that the other party's figure flashed, but he caught a void.

The others laughed for a while, they didn't see that this beauty had martial arts at all, and they thought that after Chao Wu was drunk, his hands were slippery, and he couldn't even catch a weak woman!

Chao Wu's face couldn't hold it, and he was about to have a seizure, when the beauty stepped forward and said delicately: "What is this uncle in a hurry?" After the little lady toasts everyone, let you take off the veil with your own hands, what do you think? As she spoke, she threw him a charming look.

The unhappiness in Chao Wu's chest suddenly came to naught, and he felt an indescribable itch all over his body, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's make a decision, but we are not allowed to rely on the skin." Saying a glass of wine, "Come, fill it up for my fifth master first." ”

The beauty Yingying saluted, holding the wine jug and pouring the wine, the fine wine poured into the wine cup like a line, the fragrant breath went straight to the nose, Chao Wu's heart was itchy and unbearable, and he stretched out his arms to hug the slender waist of the beauty.

"Fifth Master Chao is also too anxious." The beauty glanced at him and said, "The slave family hasn't poured wine for the others yet!" ”

"Okay, good," Chao Wu smiled awkwardly, "Miss Yun Xi, please!" ”
