23. The waves are flat again

When Lin Liuguan was pushed out to cut off his head, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Lord Yijiu, slow down!" At that time, Takahisa Shimazu took us in and was kind to us. Now, if it's not for me Lin who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I am a person who believes in Buddhism, and I am really thinking about the poor Akimeura and Satsuma sentient beings, Lord Yoshihisa should know that Akimeura is not all pirates, most of them are doing legitimate business and dragging their families, and there are countless family members of your Japanese defeated generals, if Lord Shimazu Yoshihisa and Akimeura are enemies, it will be a vicious battle, Lord Yoshihisa, the one who can stop this war is me! ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa laughed and replied: "Don't talk to me, you are the most untrustworthy, compared to those two seppuku Da Ming Qincha, you are too far behind, come on, pull him out and cut him for me!" ”

Wang Chong and Guo Yi looked at this scene and glanced at each other, not knowing what to say.

Lin Liuguan was really anxious, and asked in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty: "Lord Qincha, back then, Lord Hu Ruzhen treated Wang Zhi and Xu Hai's generation as Zhao'an, not to mention that I haven't come to their point yet, and I am watching the people overseas in distress, don't you care about asking?" ”

"I know there are a lot of innocent people in Akimeura, what can you do to save them?" Wang Chong asked.

Lin Liuguan struggled to get close to Wang Chong, bowed down and replied, "I have my own good plan!" I beg Lord Chincha to intercede for me. ”

After pondering for a moment, Wang Chong said: "Shimazu Yoshihisa, listen to what good plan he has, and it is not too late to carry out the execution." ”

Master Tongtang hurriedly translated this sentence, Shimazu Yoshihisa smiled and waved his hand, and the two executioners flashed aside.

Shaking his bound body, Lin Liuguan said loudly: "Let's not mention our people of the Ming Dynasty, if you kill me, you will be the enemy of Qiumupu." Shimazu Yoshihisa, I can tell you unequivocally that we can abandon Akimeura, unite with Ichijo to launch a full-scale war in your territory, and you will never have a good day again, the tragedy of Kaga a hundred years ago, the tragedy of Matsudaira Motoyasu of Mikawa Province in the sixth year of Eiroku (1563 AD) will soon be staged in Satsuma, and it is I who can stop this war! ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Are you saying that Lin Yiguan will collude with the Yixiang Sect to rebel?" So, how can you stop it? ”

"Although I, Lin Liuguan, am deeply guilty, it's just not time to die. I would like to become a monk at Ishiyama Honganji Temple and follow His Holiness Hyunru, only in this way can I stop my brother from colluding with the Tsuyomune sect to plague Satsuma, and I will save the poor people of Akimeura, and I will fund a ship to let them leave Japan, so that my uncle's lifelong wish can be fulfilled, so that he can be blinded by the old man. ”

Speaking of his uncle, Lin Liuguan's voice trembled a little, paused for a while, and continued: "If my brother abandons evil and follows good, I will let him go; If not, I will first transcend the wicked, and then liberate myself, and there will be no Amitabha Buddha in the south. ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa nodded and replied, "In that case, I won't kill you yet." Someone came, untied him, and after eating, sent Yoshihiro to send him to Ishiyama Honganji. ”

When Shimazu Yoshihiro was about to send Lin Liuguan to see Xianru, Lin Yiguan, who had just escaped back to Akimeura, also thought of Ishiyama Honganji.

After the death of Liu Erguan, who was born as a pirate, Lin Yiguan lost his right-hand man, so he brought Zhang Sanguan, Li Siguan and Chen Wuguan, who were born as fishermen, to discuss.

"The second official's brother did not do well and offended Shimazu Takahisa; What's worse is that now that the six senses have also been captured by them, the Shimazu family may come to attack us at any time. Tell me, what is the best way to save the six senses? And what is the best way to defend against external attacks? Lin Yiguan asked.

Li Siguan replied: "Lord First Official, I and the Fifth Senses will do business, and I usually rely on the Second Officials and the Sixth Officials to deal with these wars. Now that something has happened to both of them, if they are going to fight, will they have to gather all the brethren of the islands? ”

"Yes, the Hirado Domain has Chen Dong and Ye Mazi, Iki Island has Deng Bichuan, and Shen Nanshan and others from Tsushima." Chen Wuguan added.

"No, no. Now that they are weak and precarious, if we hadn't supported them, I'm afraid they would have been finished long ago, and Lord Yiguan now seems to be able to rely on ......."

Before Zhang Sanguan finished speaking, Lin Yiguan's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Hehe, the hero sees the same thing, may I ask the third brother, do you want to talk about Shishan Honganji?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Sanguan echoed loudly, "We donated so much wealth to Xianru through our hands, and now that we have reached the point of life and death, how long will we wait if we don't ask Xianru for help?" ”

Lin Yiguan smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Third brother, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go to Ishiyama Honganji Temple to meet Xianru immediately, it seems that only the Ichijo Sect can save us, if Shimazu Takahisa dares to attack Akimeura, then lead Ichijo to Satsuma, see if they dare to commit a crime with us?" ”

When Lin Yiguan, Lin Liuguan and others all thought of Shishan Honganji, Emperor Jiajing, who was far away in the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, was gritting his teeth with hatred for the Dharma King of Honganji Temple on the eve of the Spring Festival.

It turned out that since Yan Shifan was beheaded and Yan Song returned to his hometown, Emperor Jiajing had a very uncomfortable life, and now that it is the New Year, the national teacher Lan Daoxing is also preparing to return to his hometown for the New Year and go to the palace to say goodbye.

Emperor Jiajing asked, "National Teacher, can you not leave?" Although it is normal for people to go home for the New Year, I should follow your heart when it comes to the past, but now, I feel very uncomfortable. Without you to accompany me to cultivate the truth, I'm afraid that the true qi in the palace will not be able to preserve, and during the New Year, if there is a demon to haunt me, what should I do? ”

Lan Daoxing, who was prostrate in front of the emperor, replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Sage Yun: My parents are here, and I won't travel far." Wechen hasn't been home for three years, the twenty-sixth of the lunar month, it is the eightieth birthday of the old mother, Wechen should do his filial piety, and Wechen can come back before the fifteenth day of the first month. ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that the emperor was noncommittal, Lan Daoxing continued: "Please Your Majesty don't worry about demons, do you remember the few treasures that Wei Chen presented to His Majesty when he first entered the palace?" With these treasures in his body, I don't dare to do anything about those demons, so I beg Your Majesty for permission. ”

"What treasures are you referring to?" Emperor Jiajing asked curiously.

"One is the bronze mirror, this bronze mirror is the Eastern Jin Dynasty Ge Hong real person refining, "Hug Puzi" said: 'All things in the world have been refined for a long time, all have the ability to pretend to be human form to confuse people, but can not change the true form in the mirror', Your Majesty can take this thing with you, once the demon sees this bronze mirror, he will expose his true face, and immediately escape; Fourth, the town house stone, is the 'through the micro-manifestation of the real person' Zhang Sanfeng patriarch from Wudang, now placed in His Majesty's palace; five said Buddha shrine ash, this 'Buddha shrine' is Shaolin Dharma Patriarch made, so the name is Dharma Buddha shrine, Your Majesty only needs to sprinkle the incense ash in front of the Buddha shrine in front of the palace gate, you can exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits; there is also a treasure gourd, this gourd is used by Grandpa Peng back then, Your Majesty can use this gourd every day to collect spiritual water, boil some red beans, you can be poisonous, to ensure that Your Majesty lives forever. ”

Emperor Jiajing laughed when he heard this, and said: "Lan Zhenren, I only remember that you once said that these are rare treasures, and as for their origins, I have really forgotten them. ”

Saying that, Emperor Jiajing sighed and said with regret: "Oh, what a pity! I have already given some treasures to Yan Shifan, if you hadn't mentioned it again today, you would have really forgotten it. Someone's coming! Go to the library to find it, when you copied Yan Shifan's house, did the bronze mirror and the Buddhist shrine copy it back together? ”

The eunuch on duty bowed his head and replied, "The old slave will go and find it." ”

"Lan Zhenren, you go down first, when I have found these treasures, it will not be too late for you to return to your hometown, I am tired." Emperor Jiajing said, smiled and stood up and waved his hand at him.

Lan Daoxing kowtowed and thanked him, looking very disappointed, it seems that this year's Spring Festival will not be able to go again.

In the evening, the emperor asked, "Have you found the bronze mirror and the Buddhist shrine?" ”

The eunuch replied: "I was about to start playing long live my lord, but I didn't find it in the treasury for a day, and I went to the prison to interrogate the housekeeper Yan Xi to know that maybe Yan Shifan had already expected the end to come, and in order to leave a way back for himself, so that he could flee overseas and collude with the Japanese to rebel, he donated the treasure to Ishiyama Honganji Temple in Japan, and dedicated it to the eleventh generation of His Holiness Xianru......"

Before the eunuch could finish speaking, Emperor Jiajing scolded: "The damn Yan Song father and son are really hateful, I copied his hometown in Jiangxi and let the old thief beg for food." ”

The eunuch trembled with fright, and quickly bowed his head and knelt on the ground, and replied, "The slave has the order." ”

"Wait." Just when the little eunuch got up to deliver the decree, Emperor Jiajing fiddled with the dust in his hand and said reservedly: "Quickly summon Chengguo Gong into the palace." ”

The eunuch hurriedly agreed, and ran out tremblingly.

At this time, I heard Emperor Jiajing say to himself: "I remember that a few days ago, I sent several brocade guards to Japan, and asked them to hurry to this Shishan Honganji Temple, and they must find these two treasures for me." ”

The old prince of Chengguo did not dare to slack off, and after receiving the decree, he hurriedly consulted with Lu Yunlong, but at the moment, there was no one who could go overseas to run errands, so he had to send Lu Yunlong to Japan to find Wang Chong for help on the day of the Spring Festival.

Lu Yunlong traveled lightly, only brought a translator, and came to Sakai Town after more than half a month's trip, and when he inquired, he learned that the shopkeeper Lin had been destroyed, and Wang Chong and others all went to Kyushu Island to hoe and rape.

The day after Yajiro left Sakai Town with Lin Wenjing, Lu Yunlong and others also set off from Sakai Town to Kyushu Island, and when they passed through Kameyama Castle, they also heard that the Shimazu family had captured a lot of secret agents of the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Yunlong was very worried and decided to go to Guishan City to have a look first.

When he arrived at the suspension bridge of the main city of Guishan City, he suddenly found that a woman with a panicked expression walked over, Lu Yunlong looked at it fixedly, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, and shouted loudly: "Miss Ling'er." ”

It turned out that Xu Linger had placed Lin Wenjing and Yajiro in place, and wanted to go into the city to find out the whereabouts of Boom Tianlei and Gaidihu, and wandered around the city for a long time, and suddenly heard that Shimazu Yoshihiro had arrested three more "spies", needless to say, there must be Wang Chong and Guo Yi among them.

The helpless Ling'er was grief-stricken and was about to return to the inn to appease Lin Wenjing, she was ready to wait until after dark, even if she risked her life to save people.

When Xu Ling'er heard someone calling her, she looked around vigilantly, and suddenly, like a dream, she found Lu Yunlong and a middle-aged man standing by the suspension bridge, so she pinched the back of her hand vigorously, thank God, it didn't seem to be a dream, and tears of excitement rolled down......

Lu Yunlong strode forward, staring at Xu Ling'er, his nose was sore, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word......

At this time, the middle-aged man also approached the two of them and sighed: "It's really not easy, I finally found you." ”

Looking at her sad expression, Lu Yunlong breathed a deep sigh of relief and comforted: "Ling'er, I can imagine how difficult it is for you. This time I came to you by order, and it took more than half a month to arrive in Sakai Town, and after learning that the Lin shopkeeper's house had an accident, I rushed from Sakai Town yesterday, passing through Kameyama Castle, and I heard that the city lord had captured a few Ming spies, what is going on? ”

"Lord Lu, I'm the only one left in the Flying Fish Camp Seven......" Ling'er couldn't cry anymore as she spoke.

Lu Yunlong's eyes suddenly darkened, his ears roared, and he almost fainted, but was supported by the middle-aged man beside him.

"How are Wang Chong and Guo Yi?" The middle-aged man, who looked extremely nervous, asked.

Xu Linger squatted on the ground with her face covered with her hands, only crying bitterly, and let the middle-aged man ask several times without answering.

Suddenly, I heard the middle-aged man shouting loudly: "Wang Chong, Guo Yi." ”

Lu Yunlong and Xu Ling'er raised their heads at the same time, but found that he seemed to know magic, and shouted out the two of them.

At this moment, Wang Chong and Guo Yi had just crossed the suspension bridge, walked a few steps, and shouted "Lord Lu" in unison, and couldn't hide their tears......

Xu Linger couldn't believe that a miracle would happen, and she cried and threw herself into Guo Yi's arms, and asked, "Sister, isn't this a dream?" ”

"Of course not." Guo Yi replied.

Lu Yunlong excitedly took Wang Chong's hand and greeted: "Brother, you have worked hard!" ”

"Lord Lu, why are you here?" Guo Yi asked softly.

Lu Yunlong smiled bitterly and replied, "I came to run an errand with you by holy order." ”

Wang Chong hurriedly saluted and said: "Lord Lu, the last general is incompetent, he has not completed the task, and he has sacrificed four brothers, which really makes me embarrassed and ashamed!" ”

"Brother, don't be discouraged. I'm here this time and I have a new mission, and we will complete it together. Lu Yunlong replied.

"What task?" Xu Ling'er hurriedly asked.

"There are two national treasures that were secretly given to Shishan Honganji Temple by Yan Shifan, we have to find a way to get them back, the sooner the better."

Wang Chong and Guo Yi glanced at each other and asked in unison, "Shishan Honganji?" ”

"That's right, Ishiyama Honganji, find a Dharma King named Xianru, no matter what method you use, you must get our national treasure back."
