Chapter 147: Parting with Jun Sheng
"What's the best idea you've come up with?"
Zi Wei said his plan, "I have a friend in the rivers and lakes, and he has a unique skill - bee control. He domesticates poisonous bees and is able to command them to deal with their enemies. It's just that this method is too cruel to be used in crowded places, and it is easy to hurt the innocent. I thought about going to Dali Temple to see Master Huiyuan, and asked him to pretend to tell the hidden place of the world's chronicles, and persuade the people of Dali Temple to take him out and take him to Qixia Mountain. At that time, we can use bee control to deal with them and save Master Huiyuan. β
It sounded like a feasible plan, and I felt a little more at ease. I touched the beads on my wrist, and the small purple leaf sandalwood beads swirled around my fingertips. Chang Gong said that this Buddha bead can suppress disasters and ward off evil spirits and keep peace. I thought to myself: I hope that this time I can survive the catastrophe safely and rescue Master Huiyuan.
Zi Wei's gaze fell straight on my hand, and his brows furrowed slightly: "You have been wearing this Buddha bead, aren't you tired?" β
I smiled and said, "This Buddha bead is a treasure, and you can't leave it." β
Zi Wei was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Do you really like this string of Buddha beads so much?" β
I stroked the beads, "This beads are very meaningful, and I naturally like them." β
"Do you like Buddha beads, or do you like ......" Ziwei didn't continue, just stared at me, his eyes were as deep as night.
He just stared at me, his eyes faint, flickering, indescribable, all kinds of emotions intertwined, and finally calm, turning into a gentle lake, and his eyes quietly brushed my face.
I was uncomfortable with him and asked, "Why do you keep looking at me?" β
Zi Wei's face was as gentle as water, "My lady is so good-looking, I naturally want to take a good look." β
I raised a slight smile, and Zi Wei smiled close to me, reached out to touch my face, and looked at me with loving eyes.
"My Qingqiang, so beautiful, so smart, so strong." Zi Wei touched my face and rolled his eyes, "No matter what happens in the future, you can always face it so strong and live well, right?" β
I felt a hint of worry in my heart, "Of course I'll live well." It's just that we can still go back to see Jing'er alive? β
Zi Wei affirmed: "Yes, you will definitely be able to go back to see Jing'er." β
I just thought he was comforting me and smiled back at him.
Zi Wei looked at me deeply, as if admonishing, "From now on, if you are good, I will be very happy." β
I wondered, why did he speak so strangely tonight?
Zi Wei looked at me with clear eyes, and suddenly said: "Qingqiang, I love you, I will love you for the rest of my life." Do you love me, only me? β
I was even more weird, "What are you asking this for?" β
His eyes were affectionate, with a hint of begging, and my heart fluttered, and I was about to answer, but his lips blocked me first.
He tossed and turned on my lips with a hot temperature that almost burned me. His lips and tongue were entangled, and he kissed me deeply, kissing me affectionately, reluctant to leave, and refused to leave for a long time.
When we parted, he hugged me tightly, refusing to let go as if he were holding the most precious thing in the world, as if he would lose it forever as soon as he let go.
I gradually became sleepy, Zi Wei poured me a glass of water, saying that I hadn't drunk much water all the way, and I was afraid that my body would not be able to stand it, so let me drink it.
I drank it and lay down. Zi Wei didn't rush to sleep, he asked me to sleep first.
In a trance, I had a dream in which I saw Zi Wei sitting next to me and whispering something to me.
Zi Wei's hand wandered on my face, touching it gently, like a spring breeze blowing willows, but his voice contained a hint of sadness, "I'm such a coward." I can only dare to ask you these words when you are asleep. β
What can I say until I'm asleep?
"I know that Gao Changgong is a first-class good man in this world, and you should never forget him. I shouldn't have bothered with a dead man, but I couldn't help it, I couldn't help itβI couldn't help itβI was jealous of him. He is dead, but he lives forever in your heart. The living will never be able to withstand the dead. His voice was as silent as snow, inexplicably heart-wrenching.
"How many times, I want to ask you, do you like me a little more, or do you like him a little more? But I don't dare ask, I'm afraid you will say that you like him more. As if he was suppressing something, his voice trembling.
I want to say that I don't have a crush on Chang Gong, I only like you alone. But I lay down and couldn't say anything.
His voice was low, humbly begging, "Qingqiang, forget him." From now on, I'm the only one in my heart, okay? β
I've always had you alone in my heart, and you don't know, stupid.
After a while, he smiled bitterly to himself, "Look, what stupid thing am I talking about again, how can you forget him." Besides, this time, I may not be able to come back alive, how can you ask that you have only me in your heart, if something happens to me, you will be very sad. β
He took my hand and put it on his face, and said in pain: "Then I would rather you don't like me, the less you like me, the less sad you are." β
There was hot liquid on my hand, and I wondered, did he cry, why did he cry?
I became more and more sleepy, unable to think, and gradually fell into deeper dreams.
Mo Ziwei felt the temperature of Xiao Qingqiang's palm, rubbing it on his face, and his heart ached, but he had to put it down.
Mo Ziwu put her hand down, "Qingqiang, this medicine can make you sleep for two days." Don't blame me, I'm not going to let you go into danger, you can sleep well. β
"I'm leaving, you have to be good in the future, don't let me worry."
His gaze lingered on Xiao Qingqiang's face, and every time he looked at it, he felt more reluctant and more heartache. This is the person he loves the most, how can he let her go?
But he had to go.
Because, he's going to save his friend!
Thinking of this, Mo Ziwu's gaze was ruthlessly withdrawn from his beloved's face, and he resolutely got up and took the long sword he carried with him. Wrapped in justice in his heart, with firm strength, he resolutely walked out the door.
ββ
Luo Ti, the new secretary of Dali Temple, drank Lanling wine on the case, very comfortable. His mother Lu Xuan is the nursing mother of His Majesty today, and she is deeply favored by His Majesty, and even with the promotion of him, the ministers of the court have come to scold him, which can be described as a spring breeze and limelight.
It's just that if it weren't for Master Huiyuan's troubles, he would be more comfortable than he is now.
The subordinates reported that there was a person outside the Dali Temple who asked to see him. He didn't want to see him, but after hearing that someone had a way to let Master Huiyuan tell the whereabouts of the world's ambitions, he changed his mind and met with this person.
"It's you?!"
After seeing the comer, Luo Ti was immediately on alert, and just about to call someone, Mo Ziwei stopped him, "If you call someone now, you will never want to get the world's ambition!" β
These words reminded Luo Ti, he hesitated for a moment, and asked him, "Do you really have a way to let Master Huiyuan tell the whereabouts of the Tianxia Zhitu?" β
Mo Zi said firmly: "If you let me see Master Huiyuan, I can convince him and let him say it." β
Luo Ti was skeptical: "Why should I believe you? β
Mo Zi said worriedly: "You have trapped Master Huiyuan for so long, and you have tried your best to come up with the world's ambitions. Now that the two countries of Zhou and Qi are at war, the emperor desperately needs the world to reverse the defeat. If you can't do this, do you think the emperor will still favor you and reuse you? There's a great opportunity right in front of you, so why don't you give it a try? β
Luo Ti was still skeptical, "Why do you want to help me?" β
Mo Zi replied: "I'm not helping you, I'm helping Master Huiyuan." Master Huiyuan is my friend, I can't watch him die because of a picture, I want to save him. β
Mo Ziwei threw out a convincing reason, "You have tried all kinds of methods without success, and that is because you don't know him and don't know his weaknesses." And I know him, he is my friend, I know where his weaknesses are, and only I can convince him. β
Luo Ti was moved by what he said and decided to let Mo Ziwei and Master Huiyuan meet alone.
In prison, Master Huiyuan was tortured, his monk's clothes were already dirty and torn, his face was tired, and he did not see the grace of the past. Only a pair of persistent eyes, firm and unyielding, that comes from the unshakable faith in his heart.
Seeing Mo Ziwei, Master Huiyuan's heart was like a mirror, and he knew his intentions. Said: "The poor monk has made up his mind, so he should go back." β
Mo Ziwu stepped forward and said, "Since I am here, I can't save you, and I will never leave." β
"You don't have to bother saving me, at this point, the poor monk has no regrets, and he dies without regrets." Master Huiyuan was indifferent.
Mo Zi's eyes were bright, "Does the master really have no regrets?" Your wish in this life is to transform sentient beings and save the world. If your wish is not fulfilled, how can you have no regrets? How many people are waiting for the master to be transformed and get out of the sea of suffering. How could a master abandon sentient beings and seek death with all his heart? β
He then said, "Master, you can't die, the people need your degree. Survive, save the people in suffering, and tell the whereabouts of the world's aspirations. β
"The world can only play its role in the hands of the Ming monarch who unifies the world and loves the people like a son. Now that this person has not yet appeared, the world's aspirations must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise it will harm the common people and cause endless disasters. The poor monk's move is precisely to help sentient beings. Master Huiyuan's face was frank and there was no regret.
Mo Zi said worriedly: "Who said that handing over the world's ambitions will definitely harm the common people? β
Master Huiyuan was puzzled, "What does this mean?" β
Zi Wei whispered a few words in his ear.
Master Huiyuan's face was shocked, Zi Wei stepped back slightly, and said, "That's it, why don't you consider going to Emperor Qi." The master's Buddhism is profound, and he will definitely be able to influence Emperor Qi and use the world's aspirations to benefit the people. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? β
Laughter came from outside the prison door, "The master only thinks about rescuing the common people, but you can't even save the friends around you, so how can you talk about rescuing the common people?" β
Luo Ti ordered someone to open the cell door and walked in.
His gaze circled between Mo Ziwei and Master Huiyuan, and said, "If you don't explain the whereabouts of the world's Zhitu, then your friend will have to taste the same taste of burning at the stake as you." β
Master Huiyuan's face was nervous, "It's none of his business, Lord Luo, how can you indiscriminately hurt innocents?" β
Luo Ti looked threatening, "It's none of his business, but who calls him a friend of the master?" Since they are friends, they naturally have to share weal and woe, live and die together. β
Luo Ti sneered: "Master, can you really bear to let your friend die in ashes and die without a corpse? β
Seeing Master Huiyuan's embarrassed expression, Luo Ti continued to smile and threaten: "Your friend's life and death are all in your thoughts. β
