Chapter Seventy-Four: Meritorious Service for Guilt

Before Xingkong squatted beside him, Chu Shenxia pointed at Ruoyu again, Xingkong didn't listen to him this time, he reached out and grabbed his arm~ and lifted it up, taking his dislocated arm back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Pressing his chest again, Chu Shen Xia was sweating in pain, Xingkong glanced at him, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you also know the pain, I thought you were injured like this without saying a word, you are a bronze man made of iron." ”

Chu Shenxia gritted his teeth and didn't speak again, his empty hand slid across his chest, his smile was immediately retracted, and he looked at him fixedly and said, "Lie down, you broke nine ribs!" ”

Liu Yan was startled, slowly got up and walked in front of him, neither standing nor sitting, stunned for a moment, and asked to the void: "The master knows him?" ”

Chu Shenxia exhaled a breath of hot air and replied for Xingkong: "When Master Xingkong came to the Southern Song Dynasty, I was fortunate to see it once, but I didn't expect Master to remember me. ”

Xingkong chuckled and said: "All actions are impermanent, it is the law of birth and destruction, birth and death have been extinguished, and silence is happiness." This is what I said to the donor back then, in the blink of an eight-year period, did the donor put it down? ”

"I've never picked it up, so how can I put it down?" Chu Shenxia's gaze swept across Liu Yan's face, and a trace of pain suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Hearing him say this, Xingkong smiled and shook his head, carefully wrapped the strap for him, and finally took out a small porcelain bottle from his cuff, and handed it to him in the palm of his hand, motioning him to drink.

Seeing that Chu Shenxia didn't answer, he laughed again and said, "The pain of broken ribs is not something that ordinary people can bear, drink it quickly." ”

Chu Shenxia's gaze crossed Ruoyu, who landed on the stone bed ~ not far away, and blinked his eyes and said, "This Tianranium water is still given to Ruoyu, I will treat it as a great responsibility from heaven." ”

Sex emptiness did not insist, got up and took the herbs and walked towards Ruoyu, Liu Yan took advantage of the situation and sat down in the place where he left, and looked at the person in front of him for a while, but he didn't know what to say.

Chu Shenxia's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, he covered his mouth and coughed in a low voice, took the handkerchief handed to him, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. I took a deep breath, but I felt that my heart and lungs were cold, and I was surprised, the pain in my chest hit like a tide, and my throat rolled twice, trying to lower my blood pressure, but I was powerless to stop it, and I turned my head slightly, and the blood was churning and spit out from my roar.

Liu Yan's face changed, and he hurriedly got up to make way for Xingkong, who took a pill and fed him to eat, and persuaded: "At this time, the donor should recuperate, don't talk, don't take a deep breath, and sleep well." ”

Chu Shenxia slowly closed his eyes, as if he was really doing what he said, in fact, the credit was still due to that little pill, which could calm down and help people fall asleep quickly.

Liu Yan saw that Ruoyu had no intention of waking up, so he hurriedly walked two steps over, and before he could walk in front of the person, the voice of the emptiness had already come from behind, "This donor, you sit down and recuperate, don't toss anymore." ”

As he spoke, he had noticed that Ruoyu's breathing was steady and smooth, so he walked back to the table and sat down across from the space.

The person in front of him, the legendary master, is over forty years old, but it does not make people feel that time has left any traces of vicissitudes on his face, especially those eyes, which are extremely clear at first glance, but under closer inspection, they feel that there is a deep meaning, and they can't help asking: "The master's free and easy personality really surprised the younger generation." ”

Xingkong smiled slightly, but his eyes seemed to be empty, and he paused before saying: "The donor's eyes are bright, the eyebrows are lowered, and he will be able to achieve his ambition when he is young, but his eyebrows are too light, and he will not easily ignore the opinions of others, and one day, he will definitely embark on the road of fratricide." ”

After Liu Yan heard what he said, he was stunned, his eyes flashed, and he smiled disappretently: "Isn't the master proficient in Buddhism?" It turns out that I can still look at faces, but I have always believed that things are man-made, and I am not afraid of these. ”

"If you become a monk here, you will be able to avoid the suffering of the second half of your life, and with your understanding, you will be able to enter the Mahayana realm in the future, are you willing?" Xingkong didn't answer the rhetorical question, and looked at him leisurely.

Liu Yan felt very ridiculous, but it was not good to laugh in front of the monks, so he secretly held back and said: "I'm afraid the master thinks highly of me, I don't know anything about Buddhism, let alone Mahayana Buddhism." Besides, I still have a heavy burden on my shoulders, and I really can't escape into the empty door. ”

Xingkong shook his head and was about to explain, when the person in front of him suddenly left the stone bench and ran to the side, and said in a low voice: "You can be regarded as awake." ”

The man in blue didn't speak with a dark face, Liu Yan patted him on the shoulder, and pretended to be useless: "If you don't speak, let it be, I'm not in a hurry, anyway, the medicine has melted into your blood, whether it will penetrate into the bone marrow, it depends on your creation." ”

The man in blue glared at him with a pair of eyes, looked at him resentfully, and got rid of his clamp with a shake of his hand, Liu Yan got up, looked at him coldly and said, "I know that people like you are not afraid of death, and the medicine given to you will only make your life worse than death." ”

"Do you think I'll be scared then?" He looked up at Liu Yan with a sneer, without the slightest intention of compromise.

Liu Yan met his cold eyes, clenched his fists, grabbed his shirt, and threatened: "Then I will cut you into a stick and throw you on the most populous street in the capital." ”

Liu Yan saw his gaze staring, knowing that he had talked about his sore spot, and was about to speak, but Xingkong shouted in a long voice behind him: "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, how can the donor be so cruel?" ”

The man in blue and Liu Yan were stunned at the same time, thinking that the old monk wanted to help him, but unexpectedly, he changed his empty words and said with a smile: "I know him, he is the son of Chen Yuanwai on East Street, Chen Yuanwai is over forty years old but has not had an heir for a long time. Twenty years ago, when I brought my family to my hollow temple to ask for prayers, the Bodhisattva saw that he was so sincere, so he gave him a son. Chen Zhiwang is still the name I chose for Chen Yuanwai's son. ”

Seeing that his identity was revealed, the man in blue was afraid that Liu Yan would take revenge on his family, so he got up from the ground and looked at Liu Yan with burning eyes, half uneasy and half threatening: "If you dare to do anything, I won't let you go if I am a ghost." ”

"What can I do? I just want to know who sent you and what your intentions are. Liu Yan lowered his head and played with the dagger in his hand, glancing at him from time to time out of the corner of his eye.

He tilted his head slightly, and said lightly: "No one sent me, and when I saw you at the city gate that day, I was dissatisfied and ......."

Liu Yan was a little impatient, and didn't listen to him, so he turned to Xingkong and asked, "Dare to ask the master, where is Chen Yuanwai's house on East Street?" ”

Chen Zhiwang swallowed the unspoken words again, and before he could reply, he blurted out indignantly: "It's the most stabbing Shi Shen Zhiwei." ”

Liu Yan's eyes tightened, and he asked again, "Why did he do this?" ”

"I don't know, he only told me to go to the tower and kill a man, and nothing else." After Chen Zhiwang finished speaking, he found that Liu Yan's gaze was a little suspicious, for fear that he would not believe it, so he hurriedly said: "I really don't know, he didn't tell me who I was at that time, and I also stabbed you before I found out that the person he wanted me to kill was the crown prince of the Southern Song Dynasty." ”

Liu Yan nodded, and said, "What about you?" Why help him kill someone? ”

Chen Zhiwang pursed his lips and didn't answer, it seemed that there was something unspeakable, and Liu Yan didn't mean to force him when he saw this, since he knew that the mastermind was Shen Zhiwei, the question of Fang Cai was no longer important to him.

Unexpectedly, under his entanglement, he was willing to speak out, which surprised Liu Yan.

"I really love a woman, called Mu Ye, her parents are Shen Zhiwei's subordinates, they are both Wu people, vainly trying to rely on their own strength and the strength of the rivers and lakes to one day overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty and rebuild the Wu State. Mu Ye's parents died to rebuild the Kingdom of Wu, and Mu Ye naturally replaced her parents to do things for Shen Zhiwei, but what I know is that Mu Ye doesn't want to rebuild the Kingdom of Wu, nor does she want to live secretly for the rest of her life, she just wants to live a normal life. Chen Zhiwang said this, with some regret in his eyes, raised his eyes to look at Liu Yan, and suddenly knelt down, which surprised Liu Yan.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Mu Ye has no choice, Shen Zhiwei uses us to control each other, shooting arrows at you in the street, she committed a big crime, the day Shen Zhiwei was brought to justice, but I beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare her the death penalty, I am willing to exchange my life for my life."

This pair of beautiful people, one wanted to shoot himself in the street, and the other stabbed himself with a dagger, and now he still has the face to beg him to let Mu Ye go, Liu Yan said with a smile: "You seem to have forgotten that you pierced my bloody wound with a dagger, just by stabbing the prince, your life would have been gone a long time ago, how can you return her life?" ”

Chen Zhiwang's face turned pale and pale, and he couldn't say a word when he was choked by Liu Yan, so he could only hang his head deeply.

"But if you are willing to make meritorious contributions, I can treat the actions of the two of you as if I don't know, and from now on, I can live in the free world of the two of you."

Chen Zhiwang raised his head suddenly, and hurriedly said: "I am naturally willing, whatever His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants me to do, I will do it immediately." ”

"There's no hurry." Liu Yan waved his hand, motioned him to stand up, and sat back on the stone bench by himself, and then said slowly: "You tell me what you know first." ”

"What I know is what Mu Ye told me, I don't know more, Shen Zhiwei is very cautious and never tells me half a point. I only know that he is from Wu Guo, and there is a big force behind him that supports him, and he seems to be obedient to others, I don't know who it is, even Mu Ye doesn't know. In the year when the Southern Song Dynasty and the Qi State fought, Shen Zhiwei did a lot of things and wanted to take the opportunity to rebuild the Wu State, but failed. In the days when the Southern Song Dynasty had not yet fully controlled the Qi State, Shen Zhiwei's power soared, and he constantly sent people to organize riots in various parts of the Qi State. ”

Chen Zhiwang thought hard for a long time, as if he only thought about it so much, his eyebrows were furrowed for a long time, and finally he put it down, shook his head halfway, suddenly paused, opened his eyes and said, "By the way, I suddenly remembered one thing!" ”
