Master Kuzo tells a story, even a fairy tale.

But Qi Ning knew that this high monk would never tell such an ordinary story for no reason, he looked at the kind face of Master Kongzang, and asked, "I don't know who the master said about the little eagle?" ”

Master Kongzang smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wang, it will never be easy to climb to the peak, and you will inevitably have to undergo many hardships. Raised his hand and picked up the small clay pot on the table, poured a cup of tea in the teacup, pushed it over, and said: "You inherited the title of the Jinyi Qi family, and have made many miraculous achievements, and now you have become the prince of Chu State. ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, groaned slightly, and then said: "It's not about joy and sorrow, it's just trying to live." ”

"Then do you have any nostalgia for your current life?" Master Kuzo asked, "If one day, everything you have now disappears, whether it is an official, a family or a friend, or your family, these are no longer yours, will you be able to accept it?" ”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "I can't accept it, all the efforts I make now are to make things better." ”

"Please use tea!" Master Kongzang raised his hand and said, "This is clear tea, which is good for the body." ”

Qi Ning picked up the teacup, tasted it, then put it down, and said, "It's good tea!" ”

"Of course it's a good thing that the prince wants to protect everything he has now, and even make it all better." Master Kongzang said: "The prince went up the mountain today to ask about the things that happened eighteen years ago. ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "Not bad." The master doesn't know if he knows, in the capital, there are many rumors in the streets and alleys, all of which say that I am not the blood of the Qi family. ”

"What kind of person does the prince think he is in his heart?"

Qi Ning frowned and said: "I am the Yiheng King of Great Chu, inheriting the bloodline of the Jinyi Qi family!" ”

"Since the prince thinks so, why should he care about other people's words?" Master Kongzang sighed: "What happened back then has already passed, what the prince wants to take is the road of the future, so why be obsessed with the past?" ”

"Master, I don't know where this Dharma came from?" Qi Ning suddenly asked with a smile.

A smile also appeared on Master Kongzang's lips, and he said, "What the prince means is that everything in the world has a fate, and the Dharma originates from Tianzhu, and the prince also wants to know where he came from. ”

"Not bad."

Master Kongzang bowed his head and was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Eighteen years ago, Ling Zun was on the front line, and Ling Tang was pregnant with Liujia and was about to give birth to Lin'er. That day, Mrs. Tai sent a letter ........! Speaking of this, he took out a yellowed letter from his sleeve and handed it over, Qi Ning immediately took it with both hands, looked at Master Kongzang, Master Kongzang smiled and nodded slightly, Qi Ning took out the letterhead from it, looked at it carefully, frowned, and said: "The letter said that my mother is about to give birth, but there is an evil demon invasion, and I need a monk to protect the Dharma, master, who does this evil demon refer to?" ”

"When the poor monk saw this letter, he knew that Mrs. Tai would not send someone to deliver this letter unless it was absolutely necessary." Master Kongzang said: "When Mrs. Tai was young, she respected the Dharma and had good thoughts, and your mansion would donate incense and silver every year, so the poor monk sent a junior brother to clean the dust and bring six monks in the temple to go

Protecting the Dharma, I only hope that Lin'er can produce smoothly. ”

Qi Ning didn't speak, just looked at Master Kongzang.

"What Mrs. Tai said is not wrong." Master Kongzang said: "On the night of Lingtang's birth, the evil demon really came, intending to snatch Lin'er, and Senior Brother Jingchen led the crowd to repel the demon, but it was ....... The demon was so good at martial arts that he finally snatched a child from him. ”

Qi Ning's heart sank, and he immediately asked, "Master, did my mother give birth to two children back then?" ”

Master Kongzang bowed his head and said: "Exactly, a mother and twins, after the birth of two children, the evil demon invaded, and one of them was taken away, and the evil demon was powerful, not only took away Lin'er, but also went out of the city smoothly, and since then, no one knows the whereabouts of the child." ”

Qi Ning took a deep breath.

He had judged that Liu Suyi might have given birth to twins, but there was no evidence to prove his conjecture, and at this time, it was finally confirmed from the mouth of Master Kuzang.

In this way, the little mink and the brocade prince have the same appearance, including the same mark, which is easy to solve.

According to Master Kuzo, the demon in his mouth did take away a child back then, and that child was naturally his own flesh mink.

Qi Ning remembers that Fluttershy said that when Mink was first found by Daddy Soil, she was in a woods, and the man with the sword was unknown at the time, and Daddy Soil rescued Daddy Mink, and later went to the woods, and the man with the sword was gone.

Since then, the little mink has lived at the bottom of the people, and when the war was torn, he was displaced.

According to Master Kuzo, is the demon in his mouth the man with the sword?

The man with the sword broke into the heavily guarded Jinyi Marquis Mansion, and even took a baby, and then he was able to escape from Jianye Capital, which is certainly not an ordinary person.

"That night, Mrs. Qi passed away." Kongzang said slowly: "That evil demon martial arts are strong, come and go without a trace, in order to avoid this person from going and returning, back to the Jinyi Hou Mansion to take revenge, the poor monk sent two monks into the Hou Mansion, and got the permission of Mrs. Tai to hide in the mansion for protection. ”

"Protect whom?" Qi Ning immediately said, "Protect Mrs. Tai? Why did the master think that the man would go and return, to the detriment of Mrs. Tai? The evil demon in the master's mouth snatched away the children of the Qi family, and it was not good for Mrs. Tai, why did he have such hatred for the Qi family? ”

Master Kuzo was silent.

"In this letter, Mrs. Tai directly called that person an evil demon." Qi Ning shook the letter in his hand that Mrs. Tai had sent to Master Kongzang: "In other words, before that person took away the Qi family's baby, Mrs. Tai had already determined that person was an evil demon, and the two sides had already had a feud. The Jinyi Qi family is one of the four hereditary marquis of the empire, and when they fight on the battlefield, there will naturally be many people who regard the Qi family as a great enemy. After a pause, he said, "Why did Mrs. Tai think of asking the Great Bright Temple to protect the Dharma?" ”

Master Kongzang sang a Buddha horn, and Qi Ning had already continued: "The Tiger God Camp, Kyoto Mansion, and Shenhou Mansion are all crowded and powerful, and it is not difficult for the Qi family to request the transfer of troops and guards from these yamen, but as far as I know, when the incident happened, not only did not mobilize other soldiers and horses, but even the guards of the Hou Mansion themselves did not participate in it, and the only people who really came into contact with the so-called evil demons were the senior monks of the Great Light Temple,

Of course, this is a very strange thing, the dignified Jinyi Marquis Mansion is in danger, but what he thinks of is the Great Light Temple, which is really incredible. ”

There was a rustling sound around the hut, the sound of the night wind shaking the trees.

"I think about it, maybe there's only one explanation that makes sense." Qi Ning sighed: "That matter is very secret, or rather, Mrs. Tai wants to make things very secret, and she did not mobilize other soldiers and horses, and even the guards of the Hou Mansion are not allowed to participate, only because Mrs. Tai doesn't want these people to know the truth of the inside story, so Mrs. Tai will unbelievably ask the monks of the Great Guangming Temple to take action, because in Mrs. Tai's opinion, monks can always keep some secrets." ”

Master Kongzang stared at Qi Ning, still not speaking.

"That person wants to enter the palace to commit murder when his mother gives birth, of course, it is impossible to notify the Hou Mansion in advance, that will only increase the difficulty of his actions, no matter how stupid he is, he will not inform him in advance." Qi Ning's eyes were sharp: "But Mrs. Tai's letter was sent, which proves that Mrs. Tai is sure that person will definitely appear at that time, why is Mrs. Tai so sure?" Mrs. Tai must be very familiar with the origin and methods of that person, and she invited the monks of the Great Light Temple to enter the mansion, in fact, to capture the evil demons in her mouth. ”

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, put it down and continued, "But there is a very important problem in the middle, and that is when the demon appears. Why didn't the man go early or late, but arrived when his mother was giving birth? How was the man sure that his mother would give birth that night? He stared into Master Kuzo's eyes: "If I had to make sense, I could only say that the demon had been paying attention to the birth period, and Mrs. Tai also understood that the person was coming for the child. ”

Master Kongzang shouted another Buddha horn, and Qi Ning smiled faintly: "So I want to ask the master, what is the relationship between that person and his mother?" There are rumors in the market that I am not the bloodline of the Qi family, so of course this will not be groundless. ”

"The prince wants to know the truth?"

"The rumors in the capital come from Xiao Shaozong." Qi Ning said: "The incident back then was extremely secretive, even if some people suspected that there was something strange in it, but the truth of the facts, very few people in the world knew it. How did Xiao Shaozong know that I was not the bloodline of the Qi family? Once this matter is true, it will naturally be a great blow to the reputation of the Qi family, so it is impossible for Mrs. Tai to reveal it to the outside world, so ....... Has the master told anyone about it? ”

Master Kongzang sighed and said, "Old Master, the prince's question is aggressive, and the poor monk can barely parry, so don't hide outside." ”

Qi Ning's heart sank, there were only two people in this room, he and Master Kongzang, this Lord Kongzang obviously spoke to the third person, and called that person the old master, which really surprised Qi Ning, looked left and right, and suddenly heard footsteps behind him, he immediately turned around, only to see a person walking slowly from outside the door, that person was dressed in a green shirt, slender and long, when walking, his steps were light, if it weren't for Qi Ning's amazing ear, he couldn't even hear his footsteps.

Daguang Temple is an important place for Buddhism, at this time, it has already closed its doors to thank guests, and it is impossible for pilgrims to stay on the mountain at this time, not to mention that this ancient forest is a very place, and it is impossible for ordinary pilgrims to come here.

Under the light, seeing the man's face clearly, Qi Ning was shocked, stood up suddenly, showed a look of disbelief, and said in a lost voice: "Zhuo...... Mr. Zhuo! ”
