Fanjing Mountain is not far from Duancheng and not close, hidden in the mountains, the mountainside bamboo forest is dense, and the terrain is extremely complex. It's easy for people who aren't familiar with it to get lost. There is a small temple in Fanjing Mountain, the temple is small and exquisite, called "Fanjing Temple". Because the road is far and remote, few pilgrims come to the door, and the temple has been very quiet. With the abbot, there are no more than ten people in the temple.

Ke stepped on the steps of the temple gate of Fanjing Temple, and a little monk who was sprinkling and sweeping greeted him and saluted respectfully, "Gongzi Ke is here, and the abbot is already waiting for you in the meditation room." ”

Ke smiled slightly, and glanced at the little monk in front of him, this little monk was only six or seven years old, white and smart, although his eyes were not big, but he was very energetic. "Jingchen, you've grown a lot taller." Ke reached out and stroked the little monk's head, took out a packet of candy from his arms and handed it to him.

"Childe hasn't been to the temple for a year, so I'm not going to grow taller. Maybe the next time Childe comes, I'll be as tall as you. Jingchen took the sugar packet and put it in his arms with understanding, and laughed non-stop "hehe".

I haven't been here for a year, time flies so fast, I looked at the green mountains and green forests around, it seems to be no different from the first time I came, but the Fanjing Temple at that time was a dilapidated temple, but now it is also a burst of incense. So, what will it be like to come back next time?

The temple is very small, except for the main hall and the two side halls for the Bodhisattva, and behind it is the meditation room where the monks live. Further back is a small courtyard where the abbot's meditation room is located.

The meditation room was smoked with ordinary sandalwood, there were only two tea bowls and a teapot on the table, the cabinets were all open, a few scriptures and a few robes, the bed was covered with ordinary gauze curtains, and a few simple bedding were placed on the bed, which was all the furnishings in the room. The sunlight poured through the windows, filling the room. Everything in the interior is clearly visible.

The host is sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of the window and meditating with his eyes closed. Although he is the abbot, this is not an old man. Thick eyebrows and broad face, wide shoulders and big hands, and closed eyes are faintly majestic.

Hearing someone push the door, he opened his eyes sharply, and his gaze was sharp.

"You're still so clear here." Ke walked over to the table, filled both cups of tea with water, and swung one of them in the direction of the abbot.

The abbot smiled, got up and walked to the table and sat down, "The Buddha said, 'color is emptiness', everything moves with the heart, but in fact, there is nothing in the first place. It's all nothingness around you, so you don't have to worry too much about it. ”

The hand that held the tea bowl stagnated in the air, and then gently put it down. "In the emptiness, the practice of the Dharma has become more and more profound. If one day, you abandon everything and become a Buddha, I will not be surprised. ”

"Childe said that he laughed, even if he left everything behind, he would never betray Childe." He smiled faintly, "I just got rid of some mundane things that I couldn't let go of in the past." After saying that, he got up and turned on a switch from the bottom of the shelf on one side, and a dark compartment turned out of the wall blocked by the shelf, and he took out a small box from it and handed it to Ke. Childe, I have already done the Dharma of the Past Life that you confessed to last time, and the scriptures of the Past Life that you personally transcribed have also been burned. A few days ago, I received a letter from Mr. Gu saying that you will come here in the next few days, and ask me to hand over this box to you. ”

Ke opened the box, and inside was a letter, a directory, and a book of accounts. Unfolded the letter, on which was Gu Jingyan's usual atmospheric writing.

"The young lord respects the driver, and the minister bows to the south. In mid-December, the crown prince will marry Miss Jin, and the Jin family's wedding team will leave for Beijing in September. Prince Xuan has secretly raised manpower and infiltrated the Central Plains in the marriage team. The young master must make arrangements as soon as possible, and he must not be allowed to return to Molan again. ”

Gu Jingyan really agreed with his own thoughts. Xuan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the three best swordsmen in Mo Lan have taught him. His kung fu is by no means the flower fist embroidered leg of the ordinary royal family. Usually there are many guards around him, and it is very difficult to get close, if he leaves without permission, it is impossible to bring many guards, which is a good opportunity to start. And the Molan royal family, especially the royal family that has not divided the territory, must not leave the capital half a step without the king's warrant. From this point of view, the Jin family's marriage team is the only way he can leave the capital at present, and he will definitely not let it go. And right now, the caravan that came to Duancheng suddenly, it is very likely that Xuan's henchmen came in advance to secretly investigate their whereabouts.

It's just that if he rashly sends someone forward, in case it is a trap, he deliberately induces him to send the people around him away and expose himself, it will be too dangerous. Ke hesitated for a moment, but found that there were two pages of the letter in his hand, so he continued reading.

"Beiling Hou Chen Tuo, since the battle of Wanshanzhai, has made great contributions and is deeply regarded by the old * Ren. The Marquis of Beiling guarded Beiling for several generations, far away from the court, and formed his own faction, and had a dispute with Prince Xuan over the reduction of military expenditures. He has an auxiliary general, named 'Zhou Guang', originally born in the green forest, this person is righteous and squandering wealth, strong martial arts, and there is a group of life and death brothers around him, each with unique skills. However, because of this, he took on heavy debts for others, and his wife and children were abused by the enemy's house arrest. The young master only needs the seven warriors to save his family and give him some favors, and he will be able to serve the young master. If he refuses, the old man's account books and rosters are all the misdeeds he has done in recent years. Judgment by the law is enough to take his life. In this way, he can't help but listen to the young master's orders. If it happens, the old man should welcome the young master to return to the throne; If unfortunately fails, Zhou Guang will lead out the Marquis of Beiling, and there will be no obstacle with the young master. The Marquis of Beiling has outstanding military merits and has supported the army for many years, and the prince Xuan will fight against him, and he will not be cheap. The old man would also lobby other princes. Prince Xuan and his ministers were separated from morality, embarrassed by the big responsibility. At that time, his throne will not be secured, and the young lord will be able to return to China to regain control. The old man wished the young master all the best. ”

Gu Jingyan is indeed Gu Jingyan, the most cunning fox in the Molan royal court. Never confront people head-on, use strength to fight, and always get out of the way.

Ke took out Binzhou's token from his arms and handed it to Kong, "From here to return to Molan, you must pass through Binzhou Zuocheng, and immediately arrange for someone to sneak to Zuocheng, if Xuan escapes, Zuocheng will kill him." ”

He took the token and bowed his head silently.

"This time, can you ......?"

Before Ke's words were finished, he folded his hands together, lowered his eyebrows and said: "The poor monk swore an oath with the son, and he only protects her in this life, and hopes that the son's gift will be fulfilled." ”

Ke's eyes flashed with a moment of unwillingness. "Well, you are the same. In this way, I can also feel a little more at ease. Ke straightened up indifferently. He has already made a move, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to live in peace in the future, and she will be handed over to you. ”

He nodded, is it really a heart as still as water under his pious face? Ke never believes, and the more you want to get something, the more you sometimes have to avoid it, and this is where people are cowardly. It is also thanks to his "cowardice" that the former general of the Wang Army is willing to submit to his command and bow to slavery.
