When I finished my errands, I wanted to leave, but Nurhachi said that he would not let me go, and that he would drag me to Fushun for a few days anyway.

I didn't want to go at first, and although I recognized his ambition and hard work, it didn't mean that I was willing to accept the fact that a Manchu Tartar was about to take over the Central Plains.

However, Nurhachi has repeatedly said that tomorrow is the second day of February, and the dragon raises its head, which is one of the most important festivals of the Jurchens.

I pinched my fingers and counted the days, it was only a few days to come and go, in fact, it was completely too late, stay one more day, then stay one more day, it should be a long time of war, just come out to relax.

As Nurhachi rode back to Fushun Pass, it was already evening when he came to the city lord's mansion, and the people in the mansion came out to greet him.

Since the death of his original wife Yehenara and Concubine Tong Jia, Nurhachi married several more wives and concubines, but this time it was the Fucha clan and the Wulanala clan who came to Fushun Pass with him.

These two women are not very old, and they have stories about marrying Nurhachi before and after, but knowing that their husband went out to look for flowers and ask willows, he didn't say anything wrong, but he just looked at me with a little more resentment in his eyes, and it was estimated that eighty percent of his husband's indiscretion was counted on my head.

But when they saw Nurhachi's respectful appearance towards me, and saw that my face was light and light, they swallowed the resentment that came to their lips back into their stomachs.

When the two of us sat down in the main hall, the Fucha clan and the Wulanala clan followed in successively, and served tea to us, and the Fucha clan asked: "Master, tomorrow is the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, since we have come to Fushun Pass, why don't we celebrate this festival according to local customs?" ”

Yehenara also chimed in: "Exactly! It just so happens that there are friends from the old man, and there are more people, and it happens to be lively! ”

When Nurhachi returned home, he always looked dignified when he faced his wife and concubines: "Mr. Sato is my most honored guest, and you must tell your subordinates to bring out the best food and wine." If there is the slightest bit wrong, you two will not have to take care of this inner courtyard in the future! ”

The two ladies had never seen Nurhachi look so serious, and they were suddenly a little secretly frightened, and asked in their hearts What is the origin of this young Dongying person, and why does the old man attach so much importance to it?

If you have doubts in your heart, but you don't dare to ask more, this is a family rule. The two of them went resignedly, and after a while, they came in with a plate of some handsome people, but it was some preserved fruit, jerky, and some fine wine, which was an appetizer for us before the main meal.

Putting down the things, Nurhachi waved his hand, and the two of them hurriedly took the others down and beckoned the nine ghosts to eat and rest. Nurhachi and I sat in the room, drinking with and without a glass of wine.

"Mr. Sun, I, Nurhachi, am a rough man, but I also know that it is impossible to find a master. I hated to see Mr. Sun late, but I thought that you were about to leave, and I didn't know when I could think about it, and I couldn't bear to feel sad in my heart. "Nurhachi took up his glass, and did not clink glasses with me, but drank a glass to himself, and it was full, and it was dry, and it was full, and it was dry.

I held the cup, smelled the osmanthus wine in the cup, and laughed softly: "What? Are you addicted to threats? ”

Nurhachi shook his head with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I, Nurhachi, am now a prince, sitting on a land of thousands of miles in the north. But everyone said that you Jurchens are Tartars, and you can't get on the stage, just be a good emperor with peace of mind, don't think too much! Only Mr. Sun, you can afford me, and don't dislike me as a soil dog. ”

As he spoke, he filled me with wine and gently put down the wine jug: "Although Mr. Sun, you have a lot of suspicions about me, but if I were you, I would only suspect more, and I would not leave the other party a chance." Therefore, in my heart, although Mr. Sun is full of words, he is my first confidant of Nurhachi! This statement is heartfelt, and there is no falsehood! ”

"Alas!" I sighed, took a sip of my glass, and watched him fill it up for me before I spoke: "In life, there are always many unsatisfactory things. It's like you're in a high position, but you're not known. Like me, although I am dedicated to serving the country, I am suspicious everywhere. As the so-called unsatisfactory people are eight * nine times out of ten, all those who eat grains are like this. ”

Nurhachi also sighed: "I am Chinese New Year's Eve a year old today, looking at the age, Mr. Sun is a few years younger than me, but why is he so pessimistic and lonely? ”

I hummed and laughed: "Ambition is not old, I have been beaten all year round since I was a child, and I naturally look old." ”

Hearing this, Nurhachi laughed, slapped the table with the palm of his right hand and said, "Mr. Sun is really an interesting person!" Alas, I know that there is still a wonderful thing beyond the sea, and Mr. Sun is fascinated to sail all over the world, but staying on this snowy region does not have its own unique pleasure, so why do you have to rush to leave? ”

I looked at Nurhachi, pursed my lips and smiled: "Brother, I think you are a hero of the world, and you have the ability to dominate the world, but after all, the south is my hometown, and there are my villagers, I only hope that you will remember your promise, and it is impossible for me to turn the gun and aim at my own people." ”

Nurha said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sun treats them as clansmen, but they may not treat Mr. as clansmen from the emperor!" The ancestors of the Han people once said: repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue? Can this move of the gentleman be called foolish? ”

I shook my head and smiled: "You have indeed studied the affairs of the Han family very thoroughly, but it is a pity that I promised my second uncle that I would not be an enemy of the Han family for the rest of my life." The deceased is like this, but the living should remember the original intention. At this time, there is no need to mention it, you and I are a confidant, how can you not understand my mind? ”

Nurhachi was silent for a long time, then suddenly hummed heavily, filled the wine, came over with a glass and toasted: "Mr. Sun is high-spirited, but he doesn't know how to advance or retreat!" This cup of tribute to Mr. Sun can be regarded as a sincere compensation for his confidant! ”

I clinked glasses with him heavily, took it up and drank it all: "Don't worry about the road ahead without a confidant, no one in the world knows you." This time the separation is not goodbye, as long as you don't forget the oath, or you forget the oath, we will all meet again one day! ”

Nurhachi bowed his head silently and nodded, but remained silent.

I didn't know what to say, so I slapped him on the shoulder a few times.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, but it was the Fucha clan and the Ulanala clan who came in and invited the two of us to the banquet.

The second day was the second day of February, when the dragon raised its head, and early in the morning I was overtaken by the bustle in the courtyard, and I pushed the door out, only to see Nurhachi's family scattering ashes in the courtyard, and the ashes were bent like a dragon, and I didn't know what they were doing.

Nurhachi's voice came from behind him: "Mr. Sun, this is the custom of our Jurchens, commonly known as the dragon, which is the second day of February, when the dragon raises its head!" You wash, there will be a sacrifice in the front yard in a while, and I will ask you to take a look. ”

I smiled, it was funny, so I turned around and went back to the house, and immediately a maid brought water, and I washed myself alive, and strode out the door, just in time to meet Nurhachi, who had come to invite me, and we invited each other, and we walked together towards the front yard.

By this time, the sun had gradually risen, and the air was warm. The whole courtyard was noisy, but only the incense case in the middle of the courtyard was nowhere to go, and they walked around.

Nurhachi smiled at me and said, "Mr. Sun, this dragon sacrifice ceremony was completed by me alone in previous years, and since you and I are destined this year, why don't we pray together, do you think it's okay?" ”

I smiled and asked, "I'm afraid that if I don't understand the rules, I will ruin your good deeds." ”

Nurhachi smiled: "No, no! The rules are that there are no rules, you just need to burn incense with me to pray to the sky, silently recite auspicious words, pray sincerely, sooner or later, God will answer! ”

I couldn't help but rejoice: "How does God answer?" Talking or giving gifts! ”

"Give a gift!" Nurhachi was also happy: "On February 2 of that year, we performed the dragon ceremony in the old house in Jianzhou, and my wife Tong Jiashi was pregnant for 11 months, but she did not give birth. Yinlong didn't know why that day, but he gave birth to his eldest son Chu Ying! Mr. Sun, you say, is this a great gift from God? ”

The Fucha clan behind him also spoke: "The master is right, this February 2nd, the dragon raised its head but it is a spiritual light, Mr. can give it a try!" ”

I listened to them sing and harmonize, but I also found it interesting, so I nodded, walked forward with Nurhachi, took three sticks of incense, stretched them out to the candle flame and lit them, and silently recited them.

But until this time, I suddenly felt that I was speechless in the face of God. What should I ask for?

It stands to reason that people of my age are nothing more than seeking officials, wealth, beauty, or children, development, and success, but I can burn incense and stand, and I realize that I really have no desires.

Do you ask God to find my way back to my previous life, so that I can go back and figure out all this?

In other words, can the heavens of this life understand the request of the previous life?

But what else can I pray for? It wasn't until this time that I realized that I was a Buddhist youth who had no desires and no desires, and I really didn't know whether to cry or laugh!

I couldn't help but sigh lightly, since the Buddha is in the line, then the Buddha line is in the end. So I gently lifted the incense, and silently read in my heart: "I, Sun Qilan, don't ask for Wenda to be too expensive, I just ask God to let me be unrestrained in this life and be a happy person!" ”

After meditating, I took a deep look at the blue sky above my head, and then slowly bowed down and gently inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner.

Nurhachi had just finished praying and was about to speak when he heard the sound of a gust of wind overhead!

We looked up in amazement, but saw that the wind was blowing above our heads, and everyone in the courtyard was unstable, but the two of us stood still, completely unaffected by the wind!

The wind and clouds, between the two of us's astonishment, actually faintly formed two patterns above our heads!

The pattern on Nurha's red head is impressively similar to the appearance of a green dragon, proudly raising his head, and a wisp of cloud erupts from near his mouth and nose, which is in response to the allusion of the green dragon taking water!

And directly above my head is a giant bird like a roc, the breeze rises again, like a long roar, fluttering wings and flying high!

Nurhachi exclaimed, "Mr. Sun, this is Xiangrui! It's auspicious! ”

When the people around saw the auspicious rain from the sky, they all knelt down and bowed to the sky.

Nurhachi looked at the Jinpeng above my head, and said with a cry: "Mr. Sun's ambition is thousands of miles, after all, he will soar to the sky, and he will never be trapped between this size!" ”

I also sighed: "Yun Shenglong, Feng Shenghu, the image of long live on your head, it can be seen that my foresight will be fulfilled, I only hope you don't forget your oath!" ”

Nurhachi looked up at the sky and said sincerely: "Between death and life, you will not dare to speak!" Please rest assured Mr. Sun! ”

As he spoke, the storm and clouds rose again, and the dragon and the peng rose up like clouds and mist, and disappeared into the clouds as if they were alive......
