Chapter 13: The Wind Blows the Clouds
There are thirty-six countries in the western part of the Celestial Empire, and these countries are large and small, and the pattern is different. Some are built on the steppe and are nomadic people. Some were built between mountain ranges, and were the same countries as the Celestial Empire.
The country of Muyun is one of the thirty-six countries, but it is not too powerful, it is a country formed by nomads on the grassland.
The sky in Muyun Country seems to be very low. The mountain songs of the herders can be heard in the grasslands here at any time. When you look up at the sky, you feel as if you can touch the white clouds in the sky with your hand.
Haoyun Zheng lay on the grass, looking at the sky with his eyes. Looking at the white clouds swimming away, he whispered: "Is it the clouds moving or the wind moving?"
"Third brother, are you still thinking about that question?" Just as Hao Yunzheng was looking up at the sky and falling into thought, suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him.
Hao Yunzheng didn't have to get up and look back, he knew who was coming.
Blinking his eyes slightly, Hao Yunzheng seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was talking to the people behind him: "You say, is it the clouds that are moving? Or is the wind moving again?"
The person behind came to Hao Yunzheng's side and sat down, it was the fourth brother closest to Hao Yunzheng, Ye Lang.
Ye Lang came to his side, also lay on the grass, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Third brother, I once asked you a question before, do you remember?"
Haoyun Zheng was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Ye Lang, didn't understand what he meant, and couldn't help asking, "What's the problem?"
Ye Lang smiled lightly and said, "Three years ago, when you were listening to Du Qingfeng reading, I asked you a question, are you reading or listening, do you remember?"
Hao Yunzheng groaned slightly, remembered this incident, and nodded: "I remember." β
Ye Lang smiled: "Then do you remember what you told me at that time?"
Haoyun Zheng recalled slightly, remembering the original incident.
I see. Five years ago, since Hao Yunzheng returned from disappearance, his eyes have been completely blind. Or it would be more appropriate to be sealed.
After coming back, Haoyun Zheng was not only blind in both eyes, but also lost all his memory, and he had nothing in common with the previous Haoyun Zheng.
If there is anything in common between Haoyun Zheng and before, it may only be wisdom.
Although Haoyunzheng's eyes are unknown, his wisdom is still there. He couldn't read or write, but he found a master, and a scholar to replace his eyes. That person was Du Qingfeng.
He asked Du Qingfeng to read him the book of soldiers and the book of sages. At the same time, he also asked Du Qingfeng to hold his hand and teach him to write. Although he can't see clearly, reading and writing, in his opinion, is no longer a difficult task.
However, reading still has to be helped.
Three years ago, in the early morning of that day, Hao Yunzheng sat in the study and listened to Du Qingfeng telling him about reading military books, but Ye Lang broke into the study, saw Hao Yunzheng listening to it with relish, and stepped forward and asked, "Third brother, do you understand?"
Hao Yunzheng nodded and said, "Of course." β
Ye Lang didn't believe it. After all, the book of war pays attention to the time, place, and people, and the first and most indispensable thing is the eyes. Therefore, Ye Lang said in disbelief: "Third brother, are you reading or listening to a book, how can you possibly understand?"
Hao Yunzheng laughed at that time and said, "Shiro, you don't understand this." I'm neither reading nor listening. β
Ye Lang was puzzled and asked, "Then what are you doing?"
Haoyun Zheng smiled: "Am I realizing?"
At that time, Ye Lang was still young, and he didn't know what it meant to be realized. asked Hao Yunzheng, but Hao Yunzheng shook his head and said nothing, and finally just said: "You are still young, this matter, you will naturally understand it when you grow up in the future." β
Today's Ye Lang is also seventeen years old, but he still hasn't understood Hao Yunzheng's words.
At this time, seeing that Hao Yunzheng was actually worried about this matter, he couldn't help but think of the realization that Hao Yunzheng said at the beginning. At this time, the current problem has some similarities with the original question, so he began to remind Hao Yunzheng of this matter.
Hao Yunzheng thought back to the past, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, clapped his hands and sat up, and said with a smile: "So that's what happened." It seems that I am really a person, my eyes have regained my sight, but my heart is blind. β
It turned out that on the night seven days ago, that is, the night when Hao Yunzheng spent the blood spirit catastrophe, Princess Luoyan went to the king's tent and gave Hao Yunzheng a scroll, saying that it was an article written by her own hand, hoping that Hao Yunzheng's eyes could take a look after they regained their sight.
After that incident, the blood spirit catastrophe of Hao Yunzheng began. Moreover, after the Blood Spirit Catastrophe was over, Hao Yunzheng was in a coma for six days in a row, and he didn't wake up until the night before.
He spent a day with Princess Luoyan that day, and finally opened the scroll, only to see that there was a question written on it: "Is it the clouds moving?" or the wind?"
At that time, Hao Yunzheng was a little unsure, so he asked Princess Luoyan what this meant.
Princess Luoyan smiled slightly and said, "Master Hao, you are now half of the fiancΓ© of the palace, but the palace still hopes that you can solve this problem." Three days later, the palace will set up a banquet, and I hope that Mr. Hao can give the palace an answer. If it is right, this palace will agree to marry you, and if your answer is wrong, the marriage will be abandoned. β
After saying this, Princess Luoyan turned around and left, leaving Hao Yunzheng alone to think hard in the back.
Now that two days have passed, and seeing that he will start answering the question the day after tomorrow, Hao Yunzheng can't think of anything. In desperation, I could only lie on the ground and watch the clouds in the sky, feel the breeze around me, and wonder whether the clouds were moving or the wind was moving.
After thinking about it for a long time, there really was no answer. But just because of Ye Lang's words, he thought of the previous things and thought of the answer.
Seeing Hao Yunzheng sit up, Ye Lang also sat up curiously, and said, "Third brother, have you thought clearly?"
Hao Yunzheng nodded slightly, then looked at Ye Lang and said with a smile: "I have thought it through, what about you, have you thought it through?"
Ye Lang smiled and flattered: "Third brother, you know, how can I be half as smart as you." I've thought about it many times over the years, but I haven't thought of anything, so let's talk about it. β
Seeing Ye Lang's appearance, Hao Yunzheng couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, lightly knocked on Ye Lang's head, and said with a smile: "Look, the understanding I told you at the beginning is naturally very simple. I once said that although my eyes are blind, my heart is bright, and nothing can hide from me. So, even though I can't read, I can understand a lot of things that people with eyes will never understand, and that's realization. β
After a pause, Hao Yunzheng said again: "The princess asked me if the clouds were moving or the wind was moving. In fact, this truth is not so difficult. Of course, this truth is not so simple. If you look at the clouds in the sky, if you look at them moving, you think the clouds are moving, but in fact, the wind blows the clouds. But if you say it's the wind, then why are the clouds moving? Actually, as long as you close your eyes and your heart is bright, nothing exists. The wind no longer moves, and neither do the clouds. In fact, it is only the hearts of the people that move. β
Ye Lang was stunned by Hao Yunzheng's explanation, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It wasn't until Hao Yunzheng stood up that he hurriedly asked, "Third brother, what's the use of these truths?"
Hao Yunzheng shook his head slightly, a little speechless, turned to leave, and said as he walked: "Read more books in the future, read more Buddhist scriptures, and you will understand." This is the truth in the Buddhist scriptures. β
Ye Lang stood behind and watched Haoyun Zheng leave in a daze, didn't speak for a long time, and fell into deep thought.
............
Not to mention Hao Yunzheng and others, let's just talk about a major event that happened in the Celestial Empire at this time.
"Driving...... Drive...... ...... driving"
The sound of horses' hooves made the earth seem to tremble.
A group of seven BMWs rushed out of the gate and quickly headed west.
"Chen Tianbao, you said, what should we do when we go to the West this time. A man who was a little fat, a little short, with a whisker at the corner of his mouth, straddled his horse and asked a strong man beside him.
I saw that this strong man's eyes were shining, and he rushed straight across the horse, and snorted coldly: "Lord Ye Fan has found out that Ye Lang is in the territory of Muyun Country, let's rush directly to Muyun Country, take down Ye Lang, a traitor, and go back to pay the errand, isn't it over?"
The Humpty Dumpty man was a little uneasy, and said, "But I heard that the second master and the third master are also in the Muyun Kingdom, if they stop it, then what should we do?"
The strong man named Chen Tianbao snorted coldly again and said, "Third Master, it's just a blind man." If it weren't for Lord Ye Fan's brother, he would be an ant in front of my eyes. It's polite to call him the third master. If he dares to stop it, he will kill him directly. Don't forget, the Zongren Mansion issued an order to catch Ye Lang, a traitor, whoever dares to stop it will be punished for the same crime, even if it is Hao Yunzheng, a blind man, is no exception. β
An imperceptible look flashed in the short and fat man's eyes, and he said to himself, "If you really dare to do this, your time of death will come." "I said so in my heart. But he said: "But don't forget, there is still a second master in Muyun Kingdom." β
Hearing this, Chen Tianbao's expression was a lot more solemn. He didn't pay attention to Haoyun Zheng. After all, Hao Yunzheng is just a small person in the mortal realm forging body, and under the hands of these strong men who are all innate masters, they are almost ants, and they can be killed with a wave of their hands. However, the second grandfather, Ye Zhengxiong, is different.
Ye Zhengxiong is also a powerhouse in the spiritual realm, and his cultivation has surpassed the innate and reached the peak of Yuan Dan. If it really starts, although there are many of them, they dare not say that they can take it. Not to mention that Ye Zhengxiong is still followed by four innate masters.
Seeing that Chen Tianbao stopped talking, the short and fat man slowly lowered his head and hurried away.
The rest of the people also looked over, and when they saw Chen Tianbao's contemplative appearance, they all frowned.
After all, this time it was Chen Tianbao who led the team, if Chen Tianbao asked them to do something wrong, such as killing Hao Yunzheng, or hurting Hao Yunzheng, at that time, they would be under Ye Fan's hands, but they would be dead and alive, and everyone felt in danger for a while, hoping that Chen Tianbao would not be hot-headed. At the same time, their hearts also began to resent the fourth master who caused trouble, Lord Ye Lang.
Actually, this matter really can't be complained about Ye Lang. The reason why Ye Lang was wanted and said to be a traitor was actually because of the people of the Celestial Empire.
Ye Lang had a good heart, seeing that the Celestial Empire was divided, and the various sects that had only been suppressed by Emperor Tian Yuan twenty years ago were ready to move again. Coupled with the incompetence of the Celestial Empire, the Western countries were killed in the territory, the people were displaced, and they were starving all over the wilderness, and in a hurry, Ye Lang, who was powerless, stole the third brother's Jiulong Mountain River Fan and sold it. Unexpectedly, this treasure, which even Haoyun Zheng had forgotten its origin, turned out to be one of the three treasures set by Emperor Tianyuan after the founding of the country.
What are the three treasures: they are the heirloom jade seal, the nine-day pan dragon jade wrench and the Jiulong mountain and river fan.
What Hao Yunzheng is wearing on his hand is the Nine Heavens Pan Dragon Jade Wrench, and the Jiulong Mountain River Fan is also one of the treasures that Hao Yunzheng brought back after his disappearance. As for why these treasures are on Hao Yunzheng's body, but the Zongren Mansion does not track them down, and also seals their brothers to the position of Qincha, this is what they can't figure out. In short, even though these things were on Hao Yunzheng's body, the Zongren Mansion did not track them down. But after being trafficked by Ye Lang, he committed the law of the country, and it was a great crime of treason. According to the law, the nine tribes should be punished. When caught, he had no choice but to die.
This is also the biggest reason why Ye Lang fled to the west, and Hao Yunzheng had to catch up to protect him.
