20. The obsession is too deep

Twelve made a Buddhist salute to him and retreated behind him. At this time, he turned to look at the troublesome officer and soldier, and then performed a Buddha ritual and recited: "Amitabha, Commander Han, what are you going to do here?" Do you think that the old man will harm the second prince? The emperor asked the second prince to practice Buddhism in my meditation temple, which is his trust in Lao Gao, could it be that Commander Han doesn't even trust the emperor? ”

He obviously wanted to use the emperor to suppress Han Liang, but unfortunately Han Liang didn't eat this at all, he didn't think so: "The master's words are wrong, I know that Master Zhiren will definitely not harm the second prince, but I can't guarantee that there are unscrupulous people who will mix into this temple, the second prince is the son of the current saint and the former queen, his safety must not be sloppy, we are not out of this trouble outside, the second prince will not come out, maybe he is already in danger." The master still let me go into the room to check on it, and only after I was sure that the second prince was indeed safe, I could rest assured, otherwise if the second prince made any mistake, our guards and the more than 100 people in your retreat temple would have to lose their heads. ”

"Amitabha!" As soon as Master Zhiren's words fell, suddenly Leng Guyue's door opened.

When everyone heard the sound, they all raised their heads and turned to look at Leng Guyue's room. I saw Leng Guyue walking out of the house with Li Qingqing.

Seeing the officers and soldiers in the courtyard fighting each other, he looked at Han Liang and walked up to him and smiled and said, "It's really bothering Commander Han, I'm just chanting a scripture in the room, what are you nervous about?" Hurry up and let your people retreat, the retreat temple is a pure place for cultivating Buddha, how can you move your sword at will? ”

Han Liang looked at Leng Guyue carefully in disbelief, he was really in the room? Didn't go out for seven days? Could it be that he really devoted himself to cultivating Buddhism inside?

Although he was still a little hesitant in his heart, Han Liang didn't find anything wrong, so he had to bend over and say: "Xia Guan is also worried about the safety of the second prince, since the second prince is fine, Xia Guan is also relieved." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand at everyone and retreated with those officers and soldiers.

As soon as they left, Master Zhiren looked at Leng Guyue, and then entered the room with Leng Guyue. Li Qingqing and the Twelve were guarding outside.

When he arrived in the room, Master Zhiren didn't sit down, he stood there and looked at Leng Guyue and said: "For so many years, I have watched you grow up, take you to recite Buddhist scriptures every day, and teach you martial arts, the purpose is to let you protect yourself and lead you to goodness at the same time, but I didn't expect you to still be able to let go of the past."

He knew that Leng Guyue was not in the temple these days, and he also knew that Leng Guyue had always wanted to take revenge and seize the throne, but when it was time to take revenge, the battle for the throne would inevitably kill and injure countless people, and at worst, it would endanger the people and destroy their lives, which was not what he wanted to see.

Leng Guyue looked at him and asked, "Put it down?" Even if I wanted to put it down, would they put it down? Have they ever wanted to let me go one day in the past 12 years? ”

"Amitabha!" Zhiren couldn't help but say, "As long as you are in the temple, Master will be able to keep you safe!" ”

Leng Guyue snorted coldly and said, "Master, is it okay for me to live just to live?" I deserve to live on the tip of a knife every day and let them slaughter? If I come back a little later, or if Master doesn't delay the time outside the door, Master should be able to guess what will happen next, right? The assassinations they have carried out against me over the years are not clear to others, isn't it clear to Master? Is it that every time I can only accept it and not fight back? ”

Hearing this, Zhiren hurriedly said: "The mistakes they made have their own consequences, can revenge really make you happy?" The struggle for the throne will surely result in countless casualties, and it will be the people who will suffer in the end. ”

Leng Guyue said angrily: "Which person who has achieved great things didn't step on someone else's corpse?" If I can get revenge, what does it matter if I die? This world should have been mine, so why fight for it? I'm just taking back what belongs to me. Yes, I'm not happy now, but I'll be happy if I kill the family surnamed Weng. My queen mother and my eldest brother are the cause of their planting, and I am the evil result that they have to bear. I will double them back to them one by one, and I have only one purpose in life, which is to kill all those surnamed Weng, to avenge my mother and my eldest brother. I will let them watch me ascend to the throne step by step, and I will make their lives worse than death. ”

In the end, Leng Guyue gritted her teeth with hatred, and Zhiren hurriedly lowered her head and recited: "Amitabha!" ”

He sighed and said, "Your obsession is too deep and your anger is too heavy."

Leng Guyue continued: "That's right, Master, just treat me as a failure that you can't teach in life. I've got too much on my back to do what you want. I'm too murderous, and after reading so many Buddhist scriptures, I still can't resolve the hatred in my heart, and I'm afraid I won't have anything to do with the Buddha in this life. It is my life's goal to kill the surname Weng, and I will never give up. From the moment I stepped into the ashram, I had no intention of staying in the monastery forever, and I knew that sooner or later I would leave and return to the palace. You can go and denounce me, tell my father or Weng Heli what I am planning, I won't blame Master, but if Master doesn't denounce me, please don't persuade me anymore in the future, I won't listen. ”

Leng Guyue dared to say this because he knew what kind of person Zhiren was and what kind of affection he had for him, and he would never denounce him, otherwise he would have reported to his father in the morning when he ran out again and again, but after so many years, he didn't.

Zhiren shook his head helplessly, put one palm to his mouth and recited again: "Amitabha!"

Then he said: "Everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, you should look at it as such, you can do it yourself."

With that, he turned and walked out.

The night was dark and dreary, there was not even a star in the sky, a few clouds obscured half of the moon in Nalun, and a cold wind made people shiver. The husband knocked and walked in front of the door of Mufu, and it was already three watches. The officers and soldiers guarding outside the Mu Mansion began to be sleepy and listless one by one. The whole street was so quiet that even the sound of falling leaves could be heard, and people didn't notice that smoke was slowly rising from the inner courtyard of Mufu.

When people found out, the fire was already burning very much, everyone hurriedly shouted and put out the fire, and it was the room of Mu Yuxue, the first beauty in the capital, who was on fire.

When the people extinguished the fire in the chaos, Mu Yuxue's room had long since turned to ashes, and even her bones were gone.

As soon as the news reached the palace the next day, the emperor was a little heartbroken when he heard it, Yu Xue, the child, could be regarded as he grew up, but he didn't expect to die like this. He sent someone to tell the news to Mu Liaoyuan and Mu Yuzhang in prison, and their father and son were even more heartbroken when they heard it, and Mu Liaoyuan almost fainted. He thought that he was going to die this time, and he was thinking about how to keep his children safe, but he didn't expect Xue'er to ......

He didn't believe it was an accident, and he guessed that someone must have done it on purpose. Then he clamored to see Uncle Weng, his daughter was dead, and his son he must make sure he was safe.

In Weng's mansion, Weng Heli was anxious to find someone to eliminate all the evidence of his dealings with Mu Liaoyuan, as well as some matters that he needed to prepare to clear up after the incident in Mu Liaoyuan's east window.

Weng Xiang suddenly ran in from outside angrily: "Dad, why are you looking for someone to watch me and not let me out of the house?" ”

He asked dissatisfied. Seeing him come in in a hurry, Weng Heli gestured to his subordinates and asked them to hurry up and continue to work.

After the subordinates went out, Weng Heli got up from the chair, paced in front of Weng Xiang, and said with a serious face: "What do you want to go out for?"

Weng Xiang said: "Of course, it's to seek revenge on Meihuazhuang!"

Weng Heli said angrily when he heard this: "Have you made enough trouble?" The last time I went to take revenge, I almost got my life in, and the injuries on my body were just right, and I started messing around again, are you ashamed that it's not enough? ”

Weng Xiang was unconvinced and said: "That's my way of Leng Guyue, they killed so many of us, do we have to suffer this loss in vain?" Dad, we are a dignified uncle's mansion, with heavy troops in our hands, are we still afraid of him as a heretical sect? ”

Weng Heli said angrily with some hatred: "When will you be half as calm as your brother?" When are you still making a mess here? Mu Liaoyuan is in prison, Song Qing is menacing, if we don't know it, we will also be burned, what are you going to do to provoke those Jianghu people at this juncture? ”

Weng Xiang said unevenly: "But I can't swallow this breath, they don't take us in their eyes at all, you give me three thousand elite soldiers, and I will lead the troops to pay the plum blossom pile."

Weng Heli said angrily when he heard this: "Nonsense! Such a big person always looks at the beginning and doesn't care about the end, even if you go to the plum blossom village to step on the level? What you destroyed was just a Zhuangzi, have you killed all those Jianghu people? The power of Meihuazhuang is all over the rivers and lakes, intricate, provoke them, and the next thing you face is to be assassinated endlessly by the entire rivers and lakes. What we have to do now is to clear up the relationship with Mu Liaoyuan and help the six princes to ascend to the throne, instead of provoking those Jianghu people. Now that the four princes are eyeing each other, the one in the meditation temple is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Mu Liaoyuan has such a big thing, so don't make any extraneous branches at this time. ”

Weng Xiang cried angrily when he heard this: "Are you just going to let me suffer this loss for nothing, father?" They bullied me, if I don't give them some color, how can I go out to meet people in the future? ”

Weng He said angrily: "Who made you careless?" You burned their money, they killed two of your men, and the matter was settled, what are you going to provoke them for? They didn't want your life, which means that they don't want to be an enemy of my uncle's mansion, otherwise you think you will come back that day? The owner of the plum blossom village personally sent you back, indicating that it also gave you face. ”

"But Daddy...... "What kind of face is this?" When did he Weng Xiang suffer such humiliation?

Weng Heli directly interrupted Weng Xiang and said: "Don't do it, focus more on the court and less on fighting with those Jianghu people." When the six princes ascend the throne, what else do you care about Plum Blossom Village? If you want to unify the rivers and lakes, I will support you. ”
