Chapter Sixty-Eight: To Each His Own

The peach blossoms on the bank of the Jinpan River have fallen, the bare branches and leaves show the bleak winter, only a few acres of plum blossoms are proudly frosty, blooming with delicate pink, or the firewood that seems to never be locked, gently pushed, and walked into another quiet and bright world.

Breaking the formation now does not need to be clear, Xu You shines on everything, and naturally it is easy to find the location of the birth gate, out of the formation, walking across the small bridge and flowing water, knocking lightly on the courtyard door, and hearing a crisp voice from inside: "Who?" Hey, it's coming! ”

It was Qingluo who opened the door, this little girl has always had sharp teeth, but since Zhang Xuanji came back from Mingyu Mountain, she knew in her heart that her girl was afraid that she would not be able to escape from Xu You's poisonous hands, and she, as a personal maid, was inevitably asked to have a room for Chenghuan according to the convention.

Xu Langjun ...... Ah, General! ”

Qingluo hurriedly stepped aside, and was about to turn around and say loudly, Xu You sighed lightly and said, "What about the mystery?" ”

"Teasing the goose in the backyard ......"

"Don't make a sound, I'll go and see!"

Xu You quietly came to the pond and listened to Zhang Xuanji talking to the two stupid geese: "Bai Shui, when will you be willing to nod and marry Lang Feng?" It has been waiting for you for ten years, and if you are infatuated, you should be tempted by the iron and stone, right? ”

Xu You listened interestingly, deliberately didn't disturb her, and listened to Zhang Xuanji again: "Langfeng, you are a good man, but it's a pity that Bai Shui is not your lover." She is arrogant and cold, you are enthusiastic and irritable, how can you get along? Or listen to me, and from now on become brothers and sisters, and each of them will be well? ”

Xu You sneered, what kind of thread is this, do you wish that all lovers in the world would become brothers and sisters? Zhang Xuanji turned his head when he heard the sound, and the surprise in his eyes almost dimmed the sunlight that drilled through the branches. She lifted her skirt and jumped up from the stone by the pool, she didn't even have time to put on her shoes, and ran to Xu You with only white socks.

"You're here!"

Xu You smiled and opened his hands, Zhang Xuanji bit his lip, hung his head slightly, his hair fell from the corners of his eyebrows, as if he was a little shy, but he was gently pulled by Xu You, and then hugged them tightly.

"I'm coming!"

The two have not seen each other for nearly half a year since Xu You followed the king of Linchuan to raise an uprising, and the feeling of Xiao Biesheng's newlywed was beating wildly in his chest, Xu You suddenly understood why Zhan Wenjun wanted him not to drag it out any longer, if he really waited until Zhan Wenjun's three-year filial piety period expired before getting married, it was indeed too cruel to Zhang Xuanji!

Emperor Zhan Wen controls the secret mansion, he is busy to death every day, and he is not burdened by his family and relatives, so he can always be by Xu You's side, but Zhang Xuanji can't, she is the son of the Zhang family, and she has to take care of the reputation of the Zhang family, and she can't enter and leave the mansion at will, so she can only chat with the two stupid geese in Taoxuan, and she thinks hard about the lover who is far away in Jinling, loneliness and loneliness can eat people's hearts the most, which is indescribable pain.

Xu You's gaze stayed on the crystal clear earlobe, leaned over and kissed it lightly, and said softly: "When I settle down in Qiantang, please ask Gu Changyong to be a matchmaker when I return, and come to your house to propose marriage......

Zhang Xuanji's ears were extremely sensitive, he kissed him, his whole body trembled slightly, and suddenly he heard the word "kiss", first stiffened, and then the whole person relaxed, lying in Xu You's arms, his hands clenched around his waist, and his voice was very soft, but he said very firmly: "Well! ”

Xu You raised Zhang Xuanji's chin, his fiery eyes seemed to melt each other's bodies, and said, "Think about it?" From now on, she will marry a Xu woman, and if she is disobedient, she will be spanked! ”

Zhang Xuanji took a sip, his eyes flowed, and he said with a smile: "It's not that my husband hasn't beaten ......."

Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising to the morning glow; Forced to observe it, the green waves are scorching. Such a beauty, such a taste, Xu You's Dao Heart Xuanwei suddenly lost his position, picked up Zhang Xuanji, tapped the water, flew into the hospital, and the startled two stupid geese flapped their wings and flew apart, quacking endlessly.

It's a pity that Langfeng escaped faster than Bai Shui, and did not show the side of the hero who saved the beauty, and if he wanted to learn from Xu You to hug the beauty, it was estimated that he would have to wait for another ten years, woo hoo lament.

At sunset and dusk, the red and red like silk unfolded glow dotted the sky, like a lover's lips, between opening and closing, swallowing the mountains in the distance, Xu You and Zhang Xuanji said goodbye by the spring water, and went to Qiantang by boat overnight.

……

The winter of Mingyu Mountain is not as bleak as other places, the evergreen plants between the ups and downs of the mountains and rivers are everywhere, camphor, loquat, privet, lotus, white orchid, red pine have everything, the eaves of the courtyard that overflow from all over the mountainside, looming in the smoke and fire, once upon a time, Xu You has regarded this place as a real home.

Yixing belongs to the past, Jinling belongs to the future, only Ming Yushan carries his past and future, and entrusts him to the clouds!

After a simple freshening up, Wu Shan waited outside, and when Qingming called him in, he immediately knelt down and called the general. Xu You frowned slightly, and said, "Get up, you are also an old man who has been with me for nearly ten years, don't you know the rules of the house?" ”

Wu Shan hurriedly stood up and said, "Somehow, this time when I saw Lord Xun, my legs were straight and trembling, and I couldn't help but kneel down." "But the heart is beautiful, what is it to scold a few words, this is the treatment that only you have, the more polite the more revealing the life. But then again, who knew that Lord Xun became a general, and the previous rules were still not counted? It may be wrong to kneel, but it's only a small mistake, but if you don't kneel, it's really wrong, and it's over.

Xu You couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't learn from outsiders to mess around, look at it and get tired of it...... Let's talk about it, what has Zhu Wuqian done recently? ”

Since Zhu Dao melted and died, the great monks either died or passed away, and the six families and seven sects have withdrawn from the stage of history both formally and practically. Then Xu You gathered the remnants, the huge Buddhist sect in Jiangdong, only the size of the Xuanji Academy can accommodate each other, and they sympathize with each other, although the essence of Buddhism is different, but after all, they are all from the "Prajna Sutra", with the means and heart of Zhu Wu, while Xu You is not in Qiantang, maybe it can really be reintegrated, and the scattered Buddhism into one whole.

However, Xu You had already guarded against Zhu Wuyi, and deliberately took out the "Huayan Sutra" as a bait to divide the Buddhist sect, and the king of this sutra can not only compete with the "Prajna Sutra", but the worldview is unparalleled, and even surpassed. As long as someone can't resist the temptation to read and study, they are destined to part ways with Zhu Wuxi.

The major events that Wu Shan preached were based on this background.

"Do you still remember the Wisdom Master of the Heartless Sect?"

Xu You nodded and said, "Remember!" "That night in the Xuanji Academy to teach the Fa, Zhixian is the most serious and the most pious, he has been blessed by him, and there is a friendship between teachers and students.

"Master Zhixian studied the Huayan Sutra and wanted to create a new sect by himself, and a large number of monks followed, and he Zhu Wuxian became increasingly discordant. However, Zhu Wuxuan has the identity of the Buddha, and he is the successor of Zhu Daorong, and there is a small master like Zhu Wuchen as the wings, and the wisdom is not matched, and the two sides have been divided into the east and west courtyards. Some time ago, I heard that Zhu Wuxian was ready to follow his monks to Beijing to face the saint, rebuild the Benwu Temple, and restore the old view of the Buddha sect......"

For Zhu Wuxuan, Qiantang is not a place to stay for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will be subject to Xu You. In particular, Zhixian is inspired by the "Huayan Sutra", Buddhism is becoming more and more sophisticated, and the two sides have repeatedly discussed difficulties, Zhu Wuxian has already had the upper hand, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that Ben Wuzong will be cut off in his hands.

He plans to take advantage of Xu You's opportunity to take care of Buddhism, first cut and then play, leave Qiantang to go to Beijing, there are still many lay people in the capital who believe in Buddhism, they have the power to be rich and powerful, although it is unlikely that Zhu Daorong will restore the grand occasion when Zhu Daorong was alive in a short time, but at least the dragon enters the sea, and the future is immeasurable, why should he be trapped in the small cage of Xuanji Academy, and Zhixian, the guy who betrayed his teacher and abandoned the sect, competed to be Xu You's dog?

The plan is very strict, except for him and Zhu Wuchen, no one else knows, only to the outside world to take people to the surrounding villages to preach Buddhism, but he didn't expect that Zhu Wuchen, who should be trusted the most, was restless, and felt that he shouldn't say goodbye like this, let alone leave the leadership of Da Vibhasha and go to Jinling to seek a way to survive. So he quietly told Wu Shan about this, and Wu Shan informed Xu You through the secret mansion and waited for Xu You's edict.

But even Zhu Wuchen didn't expect that because of the changes in Buddhism, Xu You actually put down Jinling's military affairs and came back in person......

"What about Fang Sinian?"

After returning to the mountain, he didn't see Fang Sinian, Xu You still felt strange, Wu Shan coughed dryly, and hesitated to say it, which made Xu You even more strange, and said, "What's wrong?" If you have something to say, don't spit it out! ”

"Si Nian, she has been staying at the Buddhist sect all day and night in the past few months, saying that she finds it interesting to listen to Zhixian's teachings, but every time I go, I see her lying in the lotus pond and sleeping......"

"Huh?" Xu You raised his eyebrows and said, "Sleeping in the lotus pond?" Is it the same at night? Wind and snow unhindered? ”

"Yes!" Wu Shan cried with a sad face, obviously heartbroken by Fang Sinian's behavior, and said: "I persuaded her a few times, but she just didn't listen, and she hasn't spoken for seven days...... I asked Master Zhu Wuchen, and he said let me leave it alone, Si Nian is practicing ......"

What is certain is that Bodhi Gong and Enlightenment do not need to lie in the lotus pond to practice, and the only possibility is the new exercises that Xu You took back from Tan Chena and realized from the Huayan Sutra.

Qingming's heart moved slightly, looked at Xu You, and said, "I'll take a look?" ”

Xu You smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is her creation, we can't help anything." ”

Then Wu Shan reported on the recent affairs of Ming Yushan, Zhang Xuanji went home, Zhan Wenjun entered Beijing, and he is currently the chief housekeeper of Ming Yushan, responsible for all aspects, handled in an orderly manner, and is very effective. Xu You praised two sentences and asked Wu Shan to lead the way to see Xiao Yao'er.

Xiao Yao'er has been living in a remote courtyard in the east since she came to Qiantang, rarely going out, and not interacting with people, grinding without edges and corners, and her temperament is even more like two people, her beautiful face is all haggard, and her eyes are numb and godless.

Xu You said softly: "The Xiao family's rebellion case can be concluded soon, and after a while, someone from the Xiao family will come to pick you up and return to Beijing......" He could have taken Xiao Yao'er with him when he returned to Beijing this time, but after returning to Beijing, Xiao Xunqi would be punished for his crimes, how cruel is this to Xiao Yao'er? Therefore, it would be better to delay for a while, and the Xiao family would send someone to directly take it back to Donghai County.

"Father...... He, he's going to die, isn't he? ”

Xiao Xunqi must die, this is not negotiable, and it is not up to Xu You to decide. But looking at Xiao Yao'er at this time, he was a little speechless, silent for a moment, and said, "The imperial court has its own laws...... The Yu family and the Liu family tried their best, but they could only keep the Xiao family from being punished by the clan...... Miss Xiao mourns on the holiday! ”

Xiao Yao'er closed her eyes, and two lines of tears fell silently. In fact, she had a premonition in her heart, her father's crime was heavy, and she refused to bend her knees, and death was a matter of time before she died. ”

"Good!" Xu You agreed without hesitation.

"Please wait outside Lang Jun's room, I'll finish writing it right away!"

Xu You walked out of the house and stood in the patio, looking up at the sky. The jade rabbit in the sky hangs high, and it is a cool night, the cold wind is blowing, blowing the willow branches to sway back and forth, and the reflection pulls out a long line, as if solidifying the frost of the bluestone slab, and also solidifying the moonlight in the courtyard.

Squeak!

The door opened, Xu You turned around, and then his eyes were full of consternation!
