Seeing that Master's mood was improving, Guo Putian immediately took the opportunity to ask vigilantly, "Does Master want to divide the troops?" ”

Peng Yingyu glanced at him and said lightly: "You have never been obedient, didn't you have your tongue pulled by a ghost today?" ”

Guo Putian smiled, "Master again, how dare ordinary imps be presumptuous?" I'm just trying to guess your old man's heart, and there are a lot of people who have come up with ideas for you, right? ”

"Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty appointed his half-brother to conquer Henan, the battle is bound to be not small, although the Red Turban Army is growing stronger, it is still difficult to compete with the Yuan Army head-on, and I don't know if Liu Futong can survive this time." Peng Yingyu ignored the flamboyant apprentice, and after a moment's notice, she talked about the battle situation again.

Guo Putian also put away his joking expression at this time, and solemnly analyzed: "Although Han Shantong died early, his son Han Lin'er survived and can inherit his prestige, and Liu Futong and Du Zundao are by no means idle, I think it is almost impossible for the Yuan Court to defeat them in one fell swoop." ”

Peng Yingyu nodded first, then shook her head again, and reminded: "Don't forget, Fang Guozhen in eastern Zhejiang has accepted the recruitment of the Yuan Court, if the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is stabilized and an elite army is gathered to go north, even if this Liu Futong has three heads and six arms, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist." ”

"So just in case, Master wants to help Shuangdao Zhao quickly establish the water army, and then involve part of the energy of the Yuan Court?" Guo Putian slapped his head, followed Peng Yingyu's thoughts, and then said in a loud voice.

"Yes, Fang Guozhen is Wen Xuan's person after all, and I still can't figure out the mind of this stinky boy of the Wen family."

Guo Putian looked at the exhausted master, and asked distressedly: "I still don't understand, why did your old man do his best to help Xu Shouhui sit in this position?" If you lead the troops yourself, I believe that the Yuan Court will never be your opponent. ”

In the face of her beloved disciple's in-depth questioning, Peng Yingyu's gray eyebrows flashed with a smile, her lips opened slightly, and she spit out a childlike and very solemn answer: "I want to assist you or Wen Xuan, but don't you want to?" ”

As soon as he confided some of his thoughts in his abdomen, he was choked by the master's words, and he was speechless for a while, recalling an answer between master and apprentice nearly ten years ago......

At that time, Peng Yingyu was already in the year of the sixtieth year, coinciding with the fiasco of Yuanzhou, the eldest apprentice Zhou Ziwang was captured and killed.

"Master, not to mention your talent through heaven and latitude, even with the Buddhism in your belly, it is enough to enter a holy place of Buddhism, from those magnificent ancient temples on both sides of the Yellow River to the magnificent Fanyu between the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, so why continue to be involved in this mortal world?"

Master's expression when he replied back then is still vivid in his mind. Master's eyebrows, which were not yet completely white at that time, first trembled lightly a few times, and a pair of eyes that were full of essence in the past flashed countless complex emotions such as sorrow, longing, fear, unbearability, worry, and persistence, and finally slowly closed his eyes, sighed, and replied hoarsely, "I have done a lot of sins, and I will definitely go to Abi after death, so why should I disturb the Buddha in these holy places before I die?" ”

"Since the master doesn't want to go to the incense place, the apprentice will cut down the bamboo and wood, and build a spiritual house for the master to support your old age."

"The more ordinary people read Buddhist scriptures, the more they want to be detached people. Always seek the blessing of the Buddha to protect yourself in the Elysian World. But no matter how good Bliss is, it can't fit the huge mortal world in front of me after all. I probably cultivated good retribution in my previous life, so that I was able to practice the sutras at the feet of the Buddha before I became an adult in this life. But if I close my eyes and don't look at the suffering people who don't have clothes to cover the sky and eat hungry, and only want my body and mind to be safe, how can I be worthy of the guidance and teachings of the Buddha? King Jizo Bodhisattva once said, "If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell" is saying this truth. If I am born, I will have to go to that 'little bliss' alone, and if I enter the world, I will have the slightest chance to save the people of the world from fire and water, and create a 'great bliss' without sorrow and suffering. ”

"But Master......" Guo Putian wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Peng Yingyu, "You want to say that we can't even do what the Buddha and the Bodhisattva can't do, and we can't do it with the power of ordinary people, right?" ”

Facing the master who saw through what he wanted, Guo Putian could only smile bitterly and nodded.

"Selflessness is the greater self, as long as the heart truly loves the Buddha, protects the Buddha, respects the Buddha, respects the Buddha, respects the Buddha, and respects the Buddha, then you will raise your feet and enter bliss, so what's the harm if you go to hell?"

In addition, Putian rarely listened to the master to explain the Buddha's doubts, and when his mind changed, even the master must have fallen into a dilemma, and his heart seemed to be helpless, so he used the Buddha to explain what he thought, so he quietly listened to the master's lecture and stopped interjecting.

At the end, Peng Yingyu finished speaking, suddenly changed the tone of her words, looked at the situation and asked in a loud voice, "Is it okay for Master to assist you in raising troops to resist the Yuan?" ”

Guo Putian was startled, thinking that the master was crazy because of his heart disease, so he hurriedly stood up and looked at Peng Yingyu nervously.

But after Peng Yingyu talked about Buddhism, her face was ruddy, and the light in her eyes flashed again.

So he muttered: "Since I can't persuade you, I will always serve you." ”

"I'm asking you." Peng Yingyu's thick voice seemed to be able to penetrate people's chests, making Guo Putian's heart tremble again.

"The disciple is not up to the task." What kind of master is his master, he knows best in his heart, except for Zhou Ziwang, the senior brother of Tianzhong Wizard, who can be worthy of his assistance, he has never seen half of it, how dare he agree indiscriminately.

"That's fine." After he finished answering, Peng Yingyu suddenly stood up and ordered, "Let's go, then we'll go and find it." ”

Returning to reality from the memories, the situation couldn't help but smile bitterly, but I didn't know that this search turned out to be many years.

……

After quietly waiting for the apprentice to come back to his senses, Peng Yingyu touched her big belly and said abruptly: "It's not that the master is anxious, but the master really doesn't have time." ”

Guo Putian turned his face to wipe his tears, and choked up: "The disciple doesn't talk much, I'll carry you to Chaohu." ”

Peng Yingyu wanted to refuse, but he was so old that he had to rush the mountain road for a long time, his legs were sore and painful, and the cracks of his bones seemed to grow small worms, which was so abrasive that he was really unbearable, and finally half pushed and half fell on the back of Guo Putian.

Guo Putian looked at the long and slender figure, but the strength was really not small, and after carrying the bloated Peng Yingyu, he did not have any special difficulty, and changed the direction without hurrying, leaving the King Kong Terrace after the war and heading to Chaohu Lake......
