The wing house where I live is an exclusive courtyard built of grass and trees, and more than a dozen plum trees are planted on the outer wall of the fence.

But I saw a man in a white monk's robe standing under the white plum tree, smiling at me, most of the monks in the temple were wearing gray-blue robes, this white monk's robe was worn on him, lining his tall figure, his face was pure and immaculate, a pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling, his eyes looked at me softly, and he praised me very reverently: "Amitabha." ”

I was like being struck by lightning, my vigilance darkened, and my voice changed: "Dugu Hao, why are you here?!" ”

The handsome monk in front of him actually has the same face as Dugu Hao, Dugu Hao is very good at disguise, I have suffered several losses from him, what is impossible for him to shave his head and wear a monk's robe to change his face, and said coldly: "What else are you trying to do with me?" Just say it all at once. ”

"Dugu Hao" heard this, the jade face was still indifferent, but the voice was quiet and good: "The donor may have recognized the wrong person, and the little monk is lonely." ”

"I don't care if you are lonely or Duguhao, in short, you stay away from me, the farther away the better!"

He looked surprised, looked away, and said in a low and gentle voice: "The abbot instructed the little monk to supervise the donor's daily homework, and the little monk will come back tomorrow." ”

I almost yelled at his back: "Dugu Hao, what trick are you playing?!" ”

This person is really ghostly, he can meet him wherever he goes, facing Dugu Hao, I am like a frightened bird, after witnessing his collusion with Chu Hong, I instinctively transferred my disgust for Chu Hong to him.

He stopped, heard the voice, his eyes changed and changed, and he walked out of the courtyard quickly, passing by the cold-faced man who was coming in front of him.

I stood there dumbfounded, looked at him, thought about it again, and had an epiphany: "That monk called Silence, he is—"

He has a cold temperament, and the temperament he exudes is completely different from Dugu Hao, and that indifferent alienation is integrated into his blood and bones, how could I confuse such a dusty monk with the frivolous Dugu Hao?

The cold-faced man nodded slightly: "Before Master Lonely became a monk, he was a member of the Dugu family. ”

"He and Dugu Hao ——?" I was amazed.

"The two of them are compatriots of the same mother, Dugu Hao is the elder brother, and Lonely is the younger brother, as early as ten years ago, Lonely was sent to Qinglu Temple and became the abbot's closed disciple."

The children of the family, born noblely, will the elders of the Dugu family agree to give up the prestige and reputation of the family and allow him to cut his hair and become a monk?

The cold-faced man had already guessed what I was thinking, and said: "Like the royal family, the nobles who value blood and origin regard their brothers born as a great omen, and one of the sibling babies born in such a family will be expelled from the house, so as not to have a situation where the brothers of the same mother compete for the throne of the family." ”

I have heard this statement, in some countries, if the emperor's concubine gives birth to two babies at the same time, not only the mother will be beaten into the cold palace, but even the children will be secretly executed, this practice is cold, the old man Dugu may not give the right to be in charge of the family to Dugu Hao, at that time the two children were still young, how can they see how their character and ability will be in the future?

"Dugu Hao was gifted and agile when he was young, and he was deeply liked by Dugu adults; As for Lonely, the abbot said when he saw him that he had great wisdom and was destined to serve the Buddha for the rest of his life. ”

"I don't want to excuse Dugu Hao, but Qin Xi, he is not a big traitor. The situation in this world is not decided by him alone, and you are a little harsh on him. And the struggle for power is supposed to be a man's business, so why are you involved in it? ”

The cold-faced man looked at me with burning eyes, and his expression seemed unbearable: "You hate war, there are corpses everywhere in the war, people are displaced every day, and even father and son eat each other when they are in poverty, and all these things are not something that you can bear as a weak woman." The monarch is in a high position, but the desire for power can make a person's ambition continue to expand, although I cannot guarantee that Qinzhou will never fall into war, but in my lifetime this will be a pure land, at least when you have nowhere to return there is still a place for you to stay. ”

I took a step back in shock, and I opened up the distance between me and him, and I saw a pale face under his deep eyes, and I said with difficulty: "Why did you make such a deep promise to me?" ”

The weight of this sentence is enough to move anyone, this is to ask me to take the entire Qinzhou City as a backer to ensure that I have no worries, but what position does he have to say this to me?

Could it be that he has long regarded the position of the city lord as something in his pocket, and one day he wants to replace Qi Ao, how can he have such confidence? Qi Ao is resolute, bloodthirsty and ruthless, how sure can he defeat him?

He took in my distrust and said bitterly: "I scared you, I did it myself." I just want you to know that Daqi and King Xuan are not your only choice. ”

"It's not your turn to take care of my business." My tone was not good, his body stiffened, and then he said coldly: "It's me who said too much." ”

He turned around and left, I regretted it as soon as the words came out, he was actually a cold-hearted person, even if he had the heart to compete for the position of the city lord, I had the right to put his beak in it. I just have too many uneasiness.

I was full of depression, rushed into the house and closed the door heavily, so angry that I fell on the pillow, there was something in my chest that made me uncomfortable, I looked into it, it was the abbot gave me the Buddhist scriptures, I unintentionally turned two pages, and a question arose, can copying this thin sutra really calm my emotions?

I was depressed for most of the hour, and when I heard the knock on the door outside the house, my heart was still depressed, and I couldn't respond: "Who is it?" ”

"It's me."

The cold-faced man went and returned, and I was feeling guilty about Fang Cai's words, and suddenly propped up my upper height and said, "You wait, just come." ”

trotted over and opened the door, wanting to apologize to him, but he suddenly hugged me in his arms and whispered in my ear: "Lord Dugu was attacked and killed last night." "It turned out that he had come to say goodbye to me, and I noticed that his monk's robe had been taken off and replaced by the black robe he usually wears.

"I'm only going for five days, you must stay in the temple within five days, don't go anywhere, I order the Wind Shadow to stay to protect you, if you encounter trouble, you can go to the abbot master."

His solemn advice is not too much to worry about, not long after the two of us came to the temple, the wind shadow met us according to the original plan, as the cold-faced man expected, the wind shadow drove the carriage to the Qinglu Temple on the way, encountered three ambushes in succession, the person who came was superb in martial arts, well-trained, the wind shadow captured a live mouth, I don't want this person to bite the poison pill under the tongue, killed on the spot, the long knife handle taken from his hand is engraved with the word "Murong", and there is only one Murong family in Qinzhou to cast weapons. The purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes to provoke Qi Ao and the two great families is obvious.

After I heard this, Murong Ying's resentful eyes flashed in my head, and a chill ran down my spine, but if Murong Ying killed me for love, this reason would be too far-fetched, I only have a one-sided relationship with her, and I am still Qi Ao's hostage, and my death will not do the Murong family any good.

"I'll have to wait until I'm back."

He hugged me so tightly that I almost couldn't breathe, I had never seen him so nervous, he patted him on the back comfortingly, and said with a smile: "Didn't the abbot let me concentrate on practicing in the temple, I'll wait for you to come back." ”
