(52) Substitute for the prince

Santa Martha had no choice but to follow them to the door of the inn.

A carriage was parked outside the inn, and the man in white said to Santa Martha, "Please! ”

Santa Martha carried the child into the carriage.

The man in white followed, sat down in front of the carriage, and then commanded the coachman to go forward.

The others mounted and followed.

Santa Martha lifted the curtain of the car and said to the man in white: "Righteous man, if you let me go home, my husband and I will be grateful to you and virtuous." ”

"Madam, don't worry, we're not bad people. My name is Liu Yizhen, what's your name? ”

Liu Yizhen! Saint Martha was taken aback, it turned out to be the prince Liu Yizhen!

Santa Martha just wanted to tell him his real name, but the words changed to his lips: "My name is Yang Huan, this is my daughter, and my husband is a woodcutter on the mountain." Let the prince let the people's daughter go home. ”

She was afraid that finding out her identity would implicate King Yang Xuan. After all, the prince is helping the court arrest people with visions.

"You can't go home!" Liu Yizhen spoke in a very resolute tone.

"Why? The folk girl didn't break the law? Where is the prince going to take the people's daughter? Santa Martha asked.

"You can go home with me, and I will arrange for someone to see a doctor for your child!" Liu Yizhen said again.

See a doctor? You're sick! Santa Martha scolded. But she didn't dare to say anything, he must have caught the fear of being discovered by others that Yang Shuixin was a visionary, so he wanted to secretly take them back to the palace.

However, is he really going to see a doctor for Yang Shuixin? Or is there another intention?

Whatever the hell, let's get through this first. Santa Martha thought, thinking to herself that the magpie didn't know if he had reached Cowbell Mountain.

The magpie will definitely arrive, and the brocade girl will definitely come to our rescue! Santa Martha thought for a while, Yang Shuixin in her arms fell asleep, and she closed her eyes tiredly.

In a daze, she didn't know how long it took, and she dreamed that King Yang Xuan shouted: "Santa Martha, Santa Martha-"

"King Xuan, King Xuan, our child is still in the hands of the prince, and he is still in the car!" She grabbed Yang Xuan and shouted.

"I can't take care of it, let's go!" King Yang Xuan pulled her up and ran away.

"No, the child is still in the car! King Xuan, King Xuan—" She shouted, shouted, but King Yang Xuan didn't seem to hear her call, and continued to run forward.

"Wake up, what's wrong with you?" She heard someone calling for her, and when she opened her eyes, Liu Yizhen leaned down and looked at her with concern.

"Lord Wang, I had a dream." Santa Martha said, wondering if she had spoken in her sleep.

Liu Yizhen seemed to see through her thoughts, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "You keep shouting in your dream that the child is still in the car!" You are so good to your daughter, and your husband is so blessed. ”

St. Martha said a little shyly: "He is a rough man, and the folk girl is just a farmer, and he is a farmer." ”

"Really?" Liu Yizhen grabbed a pair of her jade hands suddenly, "The crop woman has such slender little hands? ”

"Lord Wang, let it go, I didn't lie to you, you hurt the people's daughter." Santa Martha's hands were tightly grasped by him, and Yang Shuixin shook his little hands and cried.

Liu Yizhen let go of his hand, and Saint Martha comforted Yang Shuixin.

"And what's your name?"

"The girl's name is Yang Martha." Santa Martha Road.

"Martha, you'd better go home with me in peace." He said, staring at the child's palm.

"Since the prince insists on asking the people to go back to the house with you." She stroked the child's little hand and said, "The Buddha said that from love comes sorrow, and from love comes fear." Is the prince grasping the people's daughter? ”

"Madame understands Buddha?" Liu Yizhen smiled slightly and said, "Then do you know that if there is no love, it is carefree and fearless." ”

"In the red dust, those who have no love are no different from beasts." Santa Martha said lightly.

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "What if it's a monk?" ”

"A monk is a person who is broken in red dust and has six pure roots, but he is a person he loves deeply."

"How so?" Liu Yizhen looked at the pretty woman in front of him in surprise. He couldn't tell her age, so young and beautiful, and a baby girl carved out of ice.

"Isn't a monk who is compassionate and purifies all sentient beings a person of great love?" Santa Martha Road.

"Hahaha, it makes sense, I didn't expect you to have such a profound Buddhist teaching, Masha, admire and admire!" Liu Yizhen said with a smile, "It's not a secret, before returning to the palace, the king has to go to the stone temple, and then you have to go with me to see the host." ”

Santa Martha secretly complained, she wanted to influence him to release her and the child, but she didn't want to become more and more entangled.

After walking for a few days, they came to the Stone Temple. The stone temple is next to a small road, surrounded by woods, and if you don't look closely, you won't find that there is a small temple at all.

St. Martha followed Liu Yizhen out of the carriage, and the men in black stood guard in front of the temple, and Liu Yizhen only took Shen Tian with him and walked to the temple together.

"Is the Master there? The deceased did not come to greet him? Liu Yizhen came to the main hall and said to a monk who was meditating in the main hall.

"Amitabha, since he is an old man, why should he be welcomed? The Buddha said that if you are not related to each other, you will not be married. The monk said with his eyes closed.

"Huiming, this king misses you." Liu Yizhen smiled, "Impermanence is hard to think about. ”

"Good, lord, you have to think about it, and you can prove mercy and joy." Hui Ming opened his eyes with a smile and got up to greet him.

"This benefactor is—" Hui Ming asked, looking at St. Martha.

"A good friend of mine." Liu Yizhen said, "Yang Masha, she took her daughter to ask for a doctor. ”

He also said that if you see a doctor, you will be sick! Santa Martha scolded.

"I don't know what disease the child is suffering from?" Hui Ming asked.

Without waiting for St. Martha to speak, Liu Yizhen said: "The night cry is not stopped." ”

"Then please ask the prince to go to the side hall first." Hui Ming said.

Liu Yizhen followed Huiming to the side hall in the east, and St. Martha waited in the main hall.

Santa Martha pretended to tease Yang Shuixin, and secretly ran her internal strength to listen to the sound in the air.

I only heard Hui Ming say: "Lord Yi, I'm afraid that the baby's illness is not as simple as crying at night, right?" ”

"The master has good eyesight, the baby is really not sick, but she has a vision." Liu Yizhen said.

"Vision? How did the righteous prince get to Lao Qu here? ”

"Liu Tian has caught a lot of visionary people, and the prince attaches great importance to him, and he doesn't care so much about me, the stand-in prince. I would like to ask the master to help this king keep this vision baby, and one day, she will definitely be the lucky star of the prince and the emperor. ”

It turned out that this prince was a stand-in prince, and his name was only one word missing, his name was Liu Yizheng.

He is another sworn brother of the prince Liu Yizhen in the people, because of his similar appearance, he has since been accepted by Liu Yizhen as a substitute prince.

"How do you protect her? Could it be that the righteous prince wants her to be in the Stone Temple? ”

"You go to the palace with me, and then you will see the prince and act again." Liu Yizheng said.

"Monks don't get involved in officialdom." Hui Ming said.

"Don't forget that the female guard was introduced to the master by me, go to the palace, and the prince will not treat you badly. Besides, this time it's to save people. Liu Yizheng said.

"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, and it just so happens that on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the prince invited the old man to do a ritual. The righteous prince is one step ahead, and the old man will definitely arrive on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. ”

"If the master doesn't come until that day, the baby is afraid—"

"That's it, the old man repaired a book, and the righteous prince saw the prince and presented it to the prince, so that he could save the baby's life."

"Thank you, Master!"

When St. Martha heard this, she was a little grateful to this stand-in prince.

After coming out of the side hall, Liu Yizheng said goodbye to Monk Huiming and continued with St. Martha.

The sky was overcast, and the occasional rustling of the woods made the men of the carriage and the men on their horses feel the silence of the autumn night.

After walking a few steps, Yang Shuixin suddenly cried in the car.

Santa Martha had no choice but to lift the curtain and ask Liu Yizheng to signal the carriage to stop first.

As soon as the carriage stopped, she fell silent.

At this moment, suddenly a bolt of lightning slashed through the sky, like a huge knife, and cut a large tree on the side of the road, and the huge trunk of the tree slashed down at them, but fortunately they retreated in time.

Liu Yizheng was secretly happy, and a little surprised, this baby can really know the blessings and misfortunes? In this case, it can't fall into Liu Tian's hands.

Just as they were thinking, suddenly a few black shadows in front of them pounced on them.

Liu Yizheng hurriedly drew his sword, and his entourage also hurriedly drew his sword.

There were three people who came. I saw them "whoosh" and shoot out a few silver knives. Liu Yizheng hurriedly dropped them one by one, and the other four began to fight with them on the path.

Liu Yizheng sat in front of the carriage, and he watched vigilantly at all the movements around him.

The lightning grew brighter and brighter, illuminating everything around it.

In this case, if the enemy wants to sneak attack, it will be difficult to defend if you are not careful.

Just when the surroundings suddenly darkened, a black shadow flew from the back of the carriage, and Liu Yizheng didn't have time to react, watching him get into the carriage.

He hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw that the masked man was about to plunge his sword into the baby's throat, and St. Martha punched him in the chest, and at the same time he saw the baby's little hand wave, and a golden light shot into his eyes, and he rushed up, escaped from the carriage, and flew out of the carriage.

At this time, several black-clothed people on the path also fled without a trace.

It's like a whirlwind, it comes and goes as fast as it comes.

Liu Yizheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern, "Martha, how are you?" What about the child? ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang, we're all fine." Santa Martha Road.

This woman is not ordinary, and the child in her arms is even more unusual!

Liu Yizheng thought and ordered his subordinates to continue on their way.

The lightning seemed to flee as well, and there was no rain, only dark clouds covering the gloomy sky.

They walked slowly, and gradually, the path was left far behind.

When a hint of whiteness began to appear on the horizon, St. Martha noticed that they had come to a small village.

The entrance of the village was very lively, and a group of people were surrounded by black pressure under the high wooden platform.

Santa Martha: They stopped on the side of the road and watched.

I saw a few Taoist priests on the wooden platform, holding lotus flowers in their hands, dancing strange dance steps, and from time to time water or a ball of fire spewed out of their mouths.

What are they doing? Santa Martha thought it was strange.
