Chapter 32: Find out
"I know my dad is very capable, but ...... The matter of Haihui Temple is too strange. One more person is always good to take care of. "Nong Tieshu is very persistent.
"Tieshu, what's wrong with you today? is so embarrassed, my father doesn't listen to it? Nong Qingyun deliberately sank his face, although Nong Tieshu's concern made his heart as sweet as honey, but now was not the time to talk about the relationship between father and daughter, he couldn't indulge Nong Tieshu, and he couldn't indulge himself.
Nong Tieshu didn't know if he had seen through Nong Qingyun, or if he was more worried about his father's safety than ever before. She played without restraint: "Dad, I don't care, I must go with you!" Shennong Palace will be handed over to the three senior brothers for the time being. They have also dealt with the affairs of the palace, and the three of them will not be worse than me when they work together! ”
"No way!" Nong Qingyun turned his face away and stopped looking at Nong Tieshu.
"Hmph, I'm going down the mountain! Go to visit the great rivers and mountains, and never come back! Nong Tieshu turned his head and left.
"Stop! Did you take the wrong medicine, stinky girl? ”
"It's the wrong medicine! Daddy's kindness to me is my medicine! If Dad hadn't been so nice to me, I wouldn't have stopped Dad from going on an adventure right now! ”
"You ......" Nong Qingyun had nothing to say, and his eyes gradually moistened.
When Nong Tieshu was two or three years old, he was abandoned outside Shennong Palace. Nong Qingyun heard the baby crying, and couldn't bear to let her fend for herself, so he carried her back to the palace.
There was no woman in Shennong Palace, and he didn't know how to take care of the child, so he found a woman from a neighboring village to take care of Nong Tieshu.
This woman is a silent mute, careful and diligent, and it is such a woman that Nong Qingyun needs, because he doesn't want Nong Tieshu to know his background when he is still young.
After Nong Tieshu became an adult, Nong Qingyun gradually revealed her sad life experience. Surprisingly, Nong Tieshu did not ask any questions and calmly accepted this reality.
She has always been sensible and well-behaved, and she never worries Nong Qingyun, but often takes care of Nong Qingyun's diet and daily life.
Unconsciously, Nong Qingyun regarded Nong Tieshu as his biological daughter. When I go out, I am worried, and when I am sick, I never leave.
Nong Tieshu also reciprocated with empathetic consideration, and as a deputy, he diligently presided over the affairs of Shennong Palace, blocking in front of Nong Qingyun to solve countless troubles. In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two of them is better than that of biological father and daughter.
"Tie Shu, dad can't help you!" Nong Qingyun burst into tears and laughed.
"Hehe, how many years hasn't my dad cried?" Nong Tieshu handed over the silk handkerchief.
"How can Dad cry? It's you stinky girl who made Daddy's nose sour. ”
"Sour nose? Na Tieshu smeared some honey on his father's nose. Nong Tieshu grabbed Nong Qingyun's arm.
"Don't make a fuss, go and call your three senior brothers in!"
"Yes, Dad!" Nong Tieshu straightened up.
"Wait! Tie Shu, when will you change your beggar costume? ”
"Ouch, Dad, don't change it! Anyway, everyone who should know me knows me, so what does it matter what clothes I wear? ”
"Are you teasing the stones?"
"No, he's not as stupid as you think."
"Enough is enough, don't get into trouble. He is not an ordinary person, and he also has a relationship with Concubine Shu. ”
"Yes, don't worry, Dad!" Nong Tieshu happily ran out, a mysterious smile on his face.
"Where did you go? I'm looking for you everywhere! Stone stood at the end of the corridor, and pointed to the smiling little beggar who greeted him, his frown evidently blaming him for leaving him alone to steal pleasure. Although the little beggar can only enter the Shennong Palace by touching his light, the little beggar is exquisite, knows more things than him, and his brain is smarter than him, but he has to follow the little beggar so that he will not be at a loss.
"What are you looking for me to do?" The little beggar's smile intensified.
"I'm afraid you're lost!" The stone had a hard mouth, and under that malicious smile, he could not open his heart.
"Hehe, that's not necessary. My little beggar is my home all over the world, and I can't lose anywhere. ”
"How are you going to play these days?"
"I don't have time to play, I have something to do."
"What's the matter?" The stone squinted at the little beggar, and felt that the little beggar was good at everything, but he was too frivolous.
"Go out with the farmer's palace master."
"What? You're dreaming! Will the farmer palace master take you a little beggar when he goes out? Stone was taken aback and felt left out.
"What's wrong with the little beggar? Do you know how many friends of the beggars are in Shennong Palace? You know how much they have to ask us? ”
"Oh, that's it, so you beggars are still so useful!" Shi didn't know anything about the rivers and lakes, so he easily believed Nong Tieshu's words, "Then I'll go with you too!" ”
"You? No way! According to the farmer palace master, there is danger this time. ”
"Dangerous?" The stone couldn't close his mouth, his eyes widened, and he fell into the fantasy of the long-awaited rivers and lakes - he met a martial arts master, occasionally obtained a martial arts cheat, and eventually became a generation of heroes, wandering the rivers and lakes, going through hardships, eliminating violence and peace, and being loved and admired by the people.
"I must go!" He grabbed the little beggar's arms tightly and conveyed a firm belief, "Do you know why I left home and why I came to Shennong Palace?" This is the first step on my road to the rivers and lakes, now the wind and waves of the rivers and lakes are in front of me, I am too late to face it, how can I retreat? This is an opportunity to go deep into the rivers and lakes, and I must seize it! ”
The little beggar rolled his eyes and looked at the stone as if it were the first time they met, and did not show the expression of being moved by the stone's passionate words. Stone suddenly realized that since he had a request, his words must benefit the little beggar.
"One more person means one more pair of hands and one more brain! I'm sure I can help! ”
"Stone, you're really not afraid?" As expected, the little beggar was moved.
"Don't be afraid!" Stone eyebrows dance.
"Okay, I'll ask the Farmer Palace Master for you. Let me go! The little beggar twisted his body and threw his arms away, his face flushed.
"Great, thank you!" The stone didn't notice anything unusual.
On a sunny morning, Nong Qingyun, Nong Tieshu and Shi set off to Haihui Temple, which is located in Jingmen, five hundred miles away from the Suizhou boundary where Shennong Palace is located, and is hidden in the mountainside at the western foot of Xiangshan Mountain, with green shade and mist.
Looking up at the foot of the mountain, Haihui Temple is invisible, and there are no pilgrims along the way, except for the tall pine willows and the vultures that swoop down through the clouds, it does not seem to have any signs of life.
Nong Qingyun frowned, he didn't want to leave the affairs of the palace behind this time, and he would get nothing when he came here. In the past three days, the shadows of Haihui Tea and Nong Qingshan have been hovering in front of his eyes, and the closer he gets to Haihui Temple, the hotter those shadows become, and he is restless like a fireball.
"Palace Master, let's go up the mountain and have a look. The branches of the trees here are so dense that they cover everything. Nong Tieshu comforted Nong Qingyun.
"Yes, I don't know what is in the mountains, just because Ye Mao is blocking my eyes!" Stone poetry flourished.
"Another sentence of 'poetry' will be recited for centuries!" Nong Tieshu smiled, breaking the dull atmosphere.
"Poetry?" Nong Qingyun knew Nong Tieshu's intentions, and also joined them in the joke.
"Hehe, he likes to change the verses of his predecessors beyond recognition."
"Stone, which sentence did you change?"
"Where would he know? If he could recite the original, he wouldn't have to be embarrassed by his lame verses. Nong Tieshu was ruthless.
"Hey, the stone is just playful, I guess you changed it to 'I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain'!" Nong Qingyun also likes poetry, but it's a pity that he can't spend too much time on it.
"Yes, yes, the palace master's discernment!" After the stone finished speaking, he turned to the little beggar and asked, "Didn't you say that my poems are good?" Now how can it be said to be a crappy thing? ”
"Then it's good between you and me, in front of the peasant palace master, is it a thing?" The little beggar stepped on the yellow leaf and crushed it, and the meaning of contempt was obvious.
"It's not a thing? You're not a thing! The stone kicked a moss-covered pebble in return for the little beggar's contempt.
"You curse!" The little beggar stepped on the foot of the stone and kicked the stone, and shook his heel from side to side mercilessly like crushing a dead leaf.
"Ah, I didn't!" The stone pushed the little beggar away, sat down on the ground, and picked up his feet, which were numb and seemed to belong to him no longer.
The little beggar was about to pounce again, and Nong Qingyun separated the two like geese pulling apart from each other.
"Alright, alright, don't make trouble, hurry up the mountain!"
On the mountainside, Haihui Temple finally half covered the face of the pipa, gradually showing the true face, simple and simple, no golden splendor, no carved beams and paintings, the wall made of bluestone strips reflects the vicissitudes of history, and the remnants of the roof tell the joys and sorrows of the temple.
There were no monks guarding the entrance of the temple, the gate was open, and the three of them stepped straight into the temple. A monk was sweeping the floor in the courtyard, completely oblivious to the presence of three people.
Nong Tieshu stepped forward and asked humbly and respectfully: "May I ask Master, your abbot is here to know that Zen Master Zhiyin?" ”
"What's the matter with the benefactor looking for the abbot?" The monk looked Nong Tieshu up and down, as if he hadn't seen an outsider for a long time.
"Please report to the abbot, Shennong Qingyun, the palace master, asks to see." Nong Tieshu showed two rows of snow-white teeth.
"Donor, please wait a while, the little monk will go to the abbot's meditation room to have a look." The monk put the broom in the corner of the wall, turned and walked towards the backyard.
"There can't be just two people in this temple, right?" The stone looked left and right in the courtyard, probing his brain. The temples he visited were all large-scale, full of pilgrims, and filled with incense. He never thought that a thousand-year-old temple would be so dilapidated, and he couldn't figure out how such a deserted temple could attract the master of Shennong Palace, who had more than a thousand disciples.
When Nong Qingyun also showed a trace of doubt, the monk came back to report: "Donor, the abbot is sitting in meditation, and it is inconvenient to disturb." ”
