Section 227 Yanshi

Sin is born from the heart, and it is extinguished from the heart, when Pei Mingcui read these words, she turned her head to look over, only to see a tall monk looking at her with her hands together.

Under the Tianjin Bridge, the flow of people is endless, and the two of them are looking at each other, which is complicated.

Pei Mingcui recognized that this was Fa Lin beside Daoxin, and the corners of her mouth grinned, looking like she wanted to laugh.

It was only a violent cough that made her bend down and stop for a while.

Farin showed pity in her eyes and sighed: "The benefactor has worked hard, and the gains outweigh the losses, so he should rest." ”

Pei Mingcui straightened up and asked, "How do you know that I work hard and the gains outweigh the losses, you know me?" ”

Fa Lin was slightly stunned, "When the original master [***], I had seen Master Pei. ”

"Why aren't you leaving?" Pei Mingcui asked.

"When it's time to go, you will go."

"When is the time to go?" Pei Mingcui continued to ask.

Fallin said after a while: "Does Master Pei Shi always like to be so aggressive?" ”

"I don't know where Master Xin is?" Pei Mingcui asked again.

Fa Lin noticed that although Pei Mingcui was haggard, his spirit was not ordinarily vigorous, and he smiled bitterly: "Master Daoxin is gone." ”

Pei Mingcui muttered to herself: "He seems to know that I am looking for him, so he left in a hurry." ”

Fa Lin was puzzled and asked, "I don't know what Pei Shi is looking for Daoxin?" Can a poor monk serve? ”

Pei Mingcui glanced at Fa Lin up and down, and said lightly: "You are not a monk?" ”

Fa Lin said with a smile: "Master Pei's words are wrong, the poor monk has been a monk since he was a child, and he recites Buddhist scriptures and secular classics diligently, and many temples have pending orders, how can he not be a monk?" ”

Pei Mingcui snorted coldly, "You are just a monk to enter the WTO, this kind of person can also be regarded as a monk?" In fact, what you said is very right, I should rest now, and I will leave the Eastern Capital in a few days, and then ignore everything in the world, but you are looking for the wrong person when you look for me. ”

Fa Lin had an embarrassed look on her face, she couldn't deny that this Pei Mingcui was really smart, although he was a monk, he was very vulgar, and he went north with Daoxin on the one hand to admire his profound Buddhism, and on the other hand, he wanted to rely on Daoxin's name to break out of his reputation. He knew Pei Mingcui, and he didn't know the great changes in the palace, but he knew that this person was the pillar of Pei Valve, and since he met by chance, of course he didn't want to miss it. Daoxin left the Eastern Capital, but he didn't want to, he just wanted to find an opportunity to stay, under the pretext of caring, he just wanted to get close to Pei Valve, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Pei Mingcui at a glance.

"You don't know when it's time to go, but I know I'm leaving." Pei Mingcui turned around and left, leaving a sentence at the end, "But sin is born from the heart, and it is destroyed from the heart, and the master is just talking on paper." ”

There was sweat on Falin's forehead, but she still didn't have a big understanding, she slowly shook her head and recited the Buddha's name.

When he turned around, he saw a man standing not far away, with a long figure and a gentle face, looking at him.

Seeing that the man was extraordinary, Fa Lin's heart moved slightly, and he walked over with a smile, and before he could speak, the man had already said respectfully: "This is Master Fa Lin who is with Master Daoxin?" ”

Now when anyone mentions Falin, they always talk about Daoxin first, which makes Falin somewhat unhappy, but he also knows that his strategy has worked, "Don't you dare to ask the donor's surname?" ”

"Built in Xia Li."

Fa Lin was overjoyed in her heart, "Could it be that Gongzi is the eldest son of Master Li of Tang Guogong?" ”

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "It turns out that the master has also heard of the cheap name, the master said well, I came to the Eastern Capital a few days ago, and I heard that the master and the Taoist monk Kyoto [***], it was a sensation, I just hate not to see each other, this time I met, I don't know if the master has leisure, and please talk about it." ”

Fa Lin clasped his palms together, and the treasure was solemn, "Amitabha, since the son has a call, it is better for the poor monk to obey his fate!" ”

**After Pei Mingcui left the solemn Falin of Baoxiang, she walked along the street casually.

For the first time, she didn't have a clear purpose, and she couldn't help but have some strange feelings in her heart.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, the people were noisy, she was a little strange, and a little emotional. What Fallin said outweighed the losses, although she didn't agree with it, but after all these years of hard work, she seemed to have gained nothing.

It is not easy to make up your mind to return to Jiangnan, maybe at the beginning of the palace, as long as Yang Guang stays a little, she will stay.

But nothing happened, she was relieved, she felt that even if she turned back to Jiangnan, she could say something to her dead aunt, and she did her best.

But her nose was inevitably sour, Pei Mingcui raised her head, she didn't want to admit defeat, but she knew that she was powerless to return to the sky.

"I'm going to go on this expedition, I'm going to be famous in the field, and I can also be a big official, I must not let Wan'er look down on me." A voice came.

"Wan'er won't look down on you, she will only take you very seriously." One person said in a rumor: "But now that you are wearing this armor, you can only be heavier and heavier." ”

Pei Mingcui looked up and saw that it was Fat Huai, but it was Rust who was talking about it. Unconsciously kung fu, he had already arrived in front of the Taifu Mansion, Pei Mingcui hesitated for a moment, and had already stepped forward to greet him: "General Xiao is in the mansion?" ”

Fat Huai was wearing armor, struggling to stand up, and was about to enter the house majestically, when he saw Pei Mingcui asking, he suddenly became half shorter, "It's Miss Pei, when did you come out?" ”

Ah Rust pushed Fat Huai aside and said with a smile: "Miss Pei, Boss Xiao is in the house, please come into the house for a while." ”

Pei Mingcui nodded, followed the two into the house, and asked the next person, Xiao Buyi was in the back garden.

The three of them went to the back garden again, and saw only a horse galloping, neighing and leaping, and a person tumbling on horseback, with ease.

The man is not tall, it can be said that he is still a child, but the skill of controlling the horse is really not weak, Xiao Buyi sat in the distance and looked at the man on horseback, with a smile on his face, but he was a little distracted.

The second woman sat beside him, whispering, pointing at Xiao Buyi, snickering from time to time, and a woman with a sense of care, standing not far from the child, whispering from time to time, "Little brother be careful." ”

The servants and maids next to them were all cheering up the children on horseback and cheering again and again.

The child was interested, and immediately overturned, and suddenly fell off the horse, and there was a cry of surprise, and the woman rushed forward, but the child grabbed the reins of the horse, and went out from under the horse's belly, turned over and got on the horse again, and said mischievously: "Sister! ”

The woman patted her chest, "Little brother, you're too naughty." ”

Pei Mingcui saw such a warm scene, but she had never had it before, the woman was Wan'er, the woman next to Xiao Buyi was Pei Bei, and the other was Yuan Qiaoxi.

Seeing Pei Bei smiling beside Xiao Buyi, Pei Mingcui could hardly believe that this was the ruthless killer before.

The killers in the Shadow League have few feelings, and they have always done things only by obedience, after Pei Bei broke away from the Shadow League, she has been with Xiao Buyi for a long time, and her habits have changed a lot.

She walked into the back garden, Pei Bei looked up first, and when she saw Pei Mingcui, Huo Ran stood up and ran over happily, "Miss Pei, are you here?" ”

Pei Mingcui felt a burst of warmth in her heart, held Pei Bei's hand and smiled: "Pei Bei, you are much better than when you were in Mayi." ”

Xiao Buyi also got up and walked over, and said with a smile: "Miss Pei is finally safe and sound, just now Pei Bei is still asking about you, I don't think the saint will embarrass you." ”

The three of them talked, but Wan'er retreated with her little brother and Qiaoxi.

The back garden was originally very lively, and in an instant, three people were left present, Pei Mingcui looked around, and said softly: "Brother Xiao, I heard that you are going to the east, and I will also leave the eastern capital and go to Jiangnan." Since this is the case, I don't know how to meet, since I came here, I should come and say goodbye to Brother Xiao. ”

Pei Bei was stunned, "Isn't Miss Pei coming back?" ”

She and Pei Mingcui have been together for a long time, and when she heard the words, she always felt that this parting, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see each other again.

"What if you come back?" Pei Mingcui sat down slowly, "Actually, this time, in addition to saying goodbye to Brother Xiao, I also want to ask Brother Xiao something." ”

Pei Bei got up and wanted to leave, but Pei Mingcui stretched out her hand to hold her, "I know that Brother Xiao won't hide it from Bei'er, you and I are just friends, since this is the case, there is no need to deliberately avoid it." ”

"What does Miss Pei want to ask?" Xiao Buyi asked.

"Brother Xiao has seen the Book of Heaven?" Pei Mingcui asked casually, shocking!

There was no surprise on Xiao Buyi's face, he knew that Pei Mingcui would ask about it sooner or later.

She is leaving, she doesn't want to hide it anymore, for the Book of Heaven, Xiao Buyi seems that Pei Mingcui should know far more than anyone thinks, but she rarely says it.

It's one thing to know, it's another thing to be able to do what you want, life is like that.

Seeing Xiao Buyi shaking his head, Pei Mingcui nodded, "I know that Brother Xiao doesn't need to speak to me, so there is no heavenly book in the turtle shell." ”

Seeing Pei Bei's face change slightly, Pei Mingcui smiled: "These have nothing to do with Pei Bei, some of them are speculation, and some of them are based on the information in my hands." After Luo Shui drove the car, I realized that in fact, there was not much point in me looking for the Book of Heaven. ”

"Why?" Xiao Buyi asked in surprise.

"Because you're the Heavens." Pei Mingcui said lightly: "Everything in the Book of Heaven is under your control!" ”

Pei Bei's face changed greatly, Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "Am I Tianji?" ”

Pei Mingcui smiled, "Brother Xiao doesn't want to admit it?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to admit it, but I don't know why."

"Since Zhang Jiao, the Book of Heaven has always made shocking prophecies in troubled times, but few people can find secrets from the turtle shell, all say that the turtle shell is unfathomable, but they don't know that whether it is graphics or words, there is only one kind of person who can understand it, that is, the heavenly machine of the Taiping Taoist honorific title. However, this heavenly opportunity is extremely difficult to find, and it must be found in a very special person, and there may not be one for more than ten years. But if it appears, the Taiping Daoists will definitely swear to follow the heavens to the death, never abandon them, and follow them like a shadow. ”

"Why?" Xiao Buyi couldn't help but ask.

Pei Mingcui pondered for a long time, "I don't know the specific reason, but I think the Taiping Dao in the past dynasties was unwilling, and now it is close to extinction." They may think that the heavenly machine can understand what they are doing, or maybe they want to find a heavenly machine to sit in the dragon court and vigorously promote the morality of peace. Some Taoists only live for their beliefs, and the followers of Taiping Dao are undoubtedly the craziest of all Taoists. ”

Pei Bei was also attracted by what Pei Mingcui said, and couldn't help but look Xiao Buyi up and down, and said after a while: "Miss Pei, I think you are mistaken, Buyi looks no different from ordinary people, what kind of genius will it be?" ”

"If he wasn't a heavenly machine, how could the people of Taiping Dao use such a battle for him? The purpose of their attack now seems to have become simple, killing the saint will make the world chaotic, and creating a momentum to make Brother Xiao rebel! Pei Mingcui shook her head and said, "Belle, I can't control many things, but before I leave, it is always good for him to let Brother Xiao listen to something." ”

Pei Bei let out a long breath and said in surprise: "Hasn't Miss Pei always hated Taiping Dao? I just thought you came this time to find trouble with Buyi. ”

Pei Mingcui laughed, "Brother Xiao, it's also a great thing to make Bei'er fall in love with someone. ”

Pei Bei blushed a little, but she happily held Xiao Buyi's hand, Xiao Buyi looked back, her eyes met, and she didn't say anything.

Pei Mingcui said to herself, "I said that Brother Xiao is a heavenly machine, and there is some basis. Because Brother Xiao is not the same as the horse thief a year ago, I find that you are changing every time, and the amount of change in the past year or so is simply appalling. You can always say something weird and different from this era, and Tianji can say something weird, and I've been paying attention to you ever since. ”

Xiao Buyi sighed, "It's ridiculous, I'm still ignorant." ”

Pei Mingcui's eyes lit up, "So you admit that you are a heavenly machine?" ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head, "I didn't say anything." ”

Pei Mingcui was not forced, and continued: "The heavenly opportunity of the legend is to know the past and the present, and it is just enough to know the past and the present, but the idea of knowing the future makes too many people's hearts flutter. Others only say that Tianji is a book, but in my opinion, Tianji is a person, maybe it is me, or maybe it is Brother Xiao? She was tempting in her words, and when she saw Xiao Buyi's impassivity, she smiled bitterly in her heart. In the past, she mostly tasted it, but today she is no longer tempting, "The heavenly machine is very hidden, and it is easy not to reveal her identity, and she is also called the ghost king by some mysterious Taoist sects." As for why they are called ghost kings, because I know that there is a saying among them that such people are physically dead, but the ghost kings rely on the bodies of dead people to preach teachings. These Taoists have a unique way to identify the heavenly machine, just because after the soul is possessed, the meridian qi and blood flow of this kind of person is completely changed, and the pulse is different from ordinary people. Another important point is that people who change the meridians are either abolished, or like Brother Xiao, their martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, which is unimaginable to ordinary people. ”

Only then did Xiao Buyi understand why Angada and Doctor Le Shenshen wanted to take his pulse, and he could tell that he was a dead man under the pulse, and asked him where he came from. I also understand why Yi Jin Jing is very powerful when he comes to practice by himself, but it has little effect on Fat Huai Ah Rust and others.

After Pei Mingcui said this, she sighed and said, "Actually, I originally thought that Brother Xiao and I would eventually become enemies, because the heavenly machine and the imperial court are incompatible. But I never wanted to be an enemy with Brother Xiao, but now that I say it, it doesn't matter. ”

Xiao Buyi listened silently, and then said, "Thank you Miss Pei for saying a lot of things that I don't even know." ”

Pei Mingcui coughed again, "In that case, shouldn't Brother Xiao also repay the favor and tell me what I don't know?" ”

"It's a pity that my heavenly machine is not worthy of its name, and it is not as powerful as Miss Pei thought." Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "I don't know what Miss Pei wants to ask?" ”

"I heard that Tianji knows the future, and Zhizhu is in his hands," Pei Mingcui looked up at Xiao Buyi's eyes, "I wonder if Brother Xiao can tell me when I will die?" ”

Seeing Xiao Buyi's deep groan, Pei Mingcui sighed and said, "Brother Xiao refuses to say it?" ”

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know." Many people seem to be beautiful, but they are just a drop in the ocean. Besides, in my opinion, it's definitely not a blessing to know when you're going to die! ”

Pei Mingcui thought thoughtfully, "What about the Great Sui, will it perish?" ”

"What dynasty can not perish?" Xiao Buyi replied.

Pei Mingcui said lonely: "I see, what Brother Xiao said, then I will leave." ”

She said that she would leave and refused Xiao Buyi's send-off, and Pei Bei said: "Buyi, Miss Pei is a little pitiful, but what she said is true?" ”

Xiao Buyi sat down and said helplessly: "Whether I am a genius or not, I only know that sometimes even if I know the result, I can't do anything, not to mention, there are some things that you know are not necessarily the result!" ”

Pei Bei let out an 'oh', feeling Xiao Buyi's helplessness. Xiao Buyi suddenly asked, "Bei'er, if I am really the ghost king that Miss Pei said, will you think I'm a monster?" ”

Pei Bei reached over, held Xiao Buyi's broad palm, snuggled into his arms, and said softly: "Buyi, do you still want to ask this question now?" Whether you are a human or a ghost, heaven and earth, I will be with you for the rest of my life and never give up! ”

**In the midst of the armor, Xiao Buyi finally embarked on the road to the East.

He has never been so majestic, for the people, General Xiao made another move, but this time it was to eradicate the bandits and return the people to a peaceful world. In Xiao Buyi's opinion, he just took 20,000 people to fight, and the outcome was unpredictable.

Fortunately, he also had the experience of marching to Lishan Fei, so he was not ignorant of these.

To learn from Li Jing's method, he first set up a post in the marching office, and announced to the three armies that meritorious service would be rewarded, and those who did so would be punished.

Of course, Xiao Buyi is the head of the camp, and he is virtuous and avoids relatives, and it is not good for his brothers to hold positions in the conquest, so he only includes them under his own command, known as the internal army. Sun Shaofang and others are among them, as well as 2,000 elite soldiers from the Right Xiaowei Mansion, hugging each other from front to back, which is not spectacular.

Xu Shiji also followed Xiao Buyi and became a personal soldier, Xiao Buyi told him that when he was going to conquer Wagang, he did not have any accidents and embarrassments, but only said that they were their masters and were willing to follow and contribute.

Xiao Buyi took Xu Shiji with him, feeling that he was carrying a tiger by his side, and kept reminding himself to be sober and not to underestimate the enemy.

As for the method of marching, Xiao Buyi also completely copied the method of conquering Lishan Fei at the beginning, the army is divided into three armies, the front, middle and back, each with a general, the commander is a general, and the commander is a general, as for the fire, team, flag, flag and other rewards and punishments, Xiao Buyi also ordered one by one, he must bow down to everything, and all things are also arranged by the head of the way.

The generals were originally unsure of this expedition, but it can be seen that Xiao Buyi's arrangements are in a good way, quite a general's style, and their confidence has been greatly increased.

Xiao Buyi saw that although the soldiers and generals were very confident, after all, they sent troops from Kyoto, the soldiers were well fed, and they had more lazy and arrogant habits, and when they arrived in Yanshi City, there were many casual and unrestrained phenomena, and they couldn't help frowning secretly.

Although Xiao Buyi does not have much experience in marching, he can see that the army is scattered, and he knows that there is no need to start a war, which is a sign of defeat first.

Yanshi is located on the north bank of Luoshui, along the river is Luoyang, is the barrier of Luoyang City, from Yanshi down Luoshui, through Gongxian, Yuecheng, marching 100 miles is the tiger prison, these two places are choking the main road, the city wall is thick, it is really a strategic fortress for soldiers.

Xiao Buyi saw that the team was already a little scattered, so he had an idea and decided to rest outside Yanshi City first.

Outside, the military order is not subject to it, Yang Guang just asked him to attack Wagang, did not say when he would take it, Zhang Xutuo turned back from Qi County, Wei Chigong went south from Zhuo County, and the time on the road was far more than him, since this is the case, he is not in a hurry to go to the Tiger Prison first.

Sharpening knives and cutting wood, the conquest of Wagang is by no means a one-time achievement, first rectify military discipline, and strict orders are the things to do. Every time Li Jing talked to him, he always put the two sentences of general and indiscipline, and Xiao Buyi knew that this was an experience with blood and tears, and he didn't have to suffer a defeat to think of rectification, and it was necessary to take a preventive shot now.

The general came to conquest, of course Yanshi City did not dare to slack off, early in the city guards came to welcome the general into the city, the city guard is a prison general, called Pang Yu.

Pang Yu's face was like the bottom of the pot, it was estimated that it was a pearl and jade, and when he saw Xiao Buyi, he said first, "I have admired the name of the general for a long time, and when I see it today, the name is well deserved." ”

Xiao Buyi was polite with him, and entered Yanshi City with elite soldiers and internal troops. Pang Yu was surrounded by the main bookkeeper, secretary, Sima, and ordinary people, etc., and it was also lively.

Pang Yu couldn't figure out Xiao Buyi's temper, but he knew that many people were not to blame, so he actually found all the stewards in the city to greet him. Although Pang Yu was surrounded by many people, Xiao Buyi only paid attention to the two of them.

A person with a thin figure, slender eyes, as if growing on the top of his head, and a goatee that looks a little annoying. When others saw Xiao Buyi, they were all active and enthusiastic, but he was full of disdain as if Xiao Buyi owed him money and didn't pay it back.

When Xiao Buyi saw it, he said that this kind of person was upright at first glance, and his surname was upright, so he should pay more attention.

Passing over the man, Xiao Buyi's gaze fell on a young man beside Pang Yu who was pale and quite stocky. The young man also looked at him, and stopped talking, but Xiao Buyi had already smiled and said: "Okay, when you say goodbye, I didn't expect to see you in Yanshi today." ”

The young man was Pei Xingyan who Xiao Buyi met when he arrived in the Eastern Capital.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, Pei Xingyan has grown taller and stronger, at first glance, he has the style of a general, but his eyebrows are tightly locked, and he is obviously not ambitious.

Thinking back to the beginning, Pei Xingyan and Li Xuanba came in the snow outside Pei's house, and Xiao Buyi felt like a world away.

Pei Xingyan was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that General Xiao still remembers Xingyan. ”

Although he was surprised, he was also a little stunned, when he and Xiao Buyi met, Xiao Buyi was just a cloth cloth, and he was recommended by Pei Valve, and he didn't know what the future would be, but he was in the army to suppress bandits and wanted to make a big difference. It's just that after a year, the original cloth clothes actually jumped to the top, and the official position was far above him, and he was just guarding Yanshi City, bored.

The two are too far apart now, but Pei Xingyan knows that Xiao Buyi has indeed relied on his military exploits to get to where he is today, and he is very envious of his opportunity.

Pang Yu saw that Pei Xingyan and Xiao Buyi were old acquaintances, or they were quite close, so he immediately pulled him to his side, "General Xiao, you are brave in battle, you have the courage of ten thousand people, and the subordinate officials are quite important." Now that the old people have met, you have to accompany Lord Xiao to have a good drink, and you have to accompany General Xiao. ”

All the officials echoed the voice, but the goatee snorted coldly and muttered, "I don't know if this general is here to drink flower wine or to conquer bandits?" ”

Xiao Buyi's ears were sharp, and when he heard his complaint, he said with a smile: "Haven't you asked this gentleman for his name?" ”

Pang Yu frowned, wanted to kick the goatee out, and said with a smile: "General Xiao, he is the secretary of the Yanshi, and he is mainly in charge of the affairs of the documents and files, called Wei Zheng." ”

Xiao Buyi inadvertently read the word Wei Zheng, and suddenly lost his voice: "You are Wei Zheng?" ”.
