Chapter 13 What is the Heart?
Sima Bing jumped in front of Zhang Yuan and looked at him with admiration, his beautiful eyes were crystal clear, his complexion was like snow, his face was delicate, and his graceful figure exuded a seductive charm.
The two were very close, and the silver fox fur revealed a touch of snow white, and the sweet fragrance of the rich virgin surrounded him, and it seemed that the next moment the girl would throw herself into her arms and beg him for mercy.
Zhang Yuan's breath was slightly chaotic, and then he was clear, his eyes were as clear as jade, and he was no longer confused.
Glancing faintly at the woman, without saying a word, she turned back to the house alone.
Sima Bing blinked, as if he hadn't reacted yet, and only then did he realize that he was being ignored when there was a sound of the door being closed......
Is this man blind?
Sima Bing was dazed for a moment, unable to accept the reality of being rejected so coldly, and stood in the snow for a while, then he stomped his foot fiercely, and his eyes showed shame: "Phew!
With that, he turned and left.
Zhang Yuan opened the "Anthology of the Three Dynasties" again and saw one of the records.
Five hundred years ago, in the Dazheng Empire, a general who had made a meritorious contribution to the founding of the country was named a prince of a country, but his people were extremely deaf after old age, not only disobeyed the five constants, but also defiled the wives of ministers, killed wives and children, caused chaos among the people, wantonly plundered and burned, and caused everyone in the country to be in danger and fled one after another. Later, one of his sons who had escaped led his already dissatisfied ministers to counterattack and kill.
However, the following offense and the act of killing the father of the son were not tolerated by public opinion, and the Son of Heaven dispatched troops to prepare to exterminate them to show the public as an example, and the ministers agreed at that time, only one minister stood up and gave a recital to the emperor, and one of the passages has been passed down to this day.
ββThe monarch treats the minister as courtesy, the minister as the monarch is loyal; the father regards the son as his relatives, and the son treats the father as filial piety; the monarch and the father regards the courtier as a mustard, and the courtier regards the king as an enemy!
"My father treats me as if I was a subordinate, my mother and brother are even more eager to put me to death, my mother died unexplained, and I have narrowly escaped my life several times. β
Zhang Yuan looked at every word and sentence in the history books, all of which were soaked in bloody killings.
"The wheels of history are rolling in the killing, and humanity is moving forward in the killing. Now I carry a three-foot sword, and I can retreat to the rivers and lakes and enter the ...... But I don't know where to go, just this martial arts is not enough to fight against the royal family. Could it be that you can only learn from Master Wuxiangzi and wander in the grass for a lifetime?"
"It sounds very comfortable, but it's not what I want in my life. β
"I ...... what I want in my life. At this point, Zhang Yuan realized that he seemed to have forgotten something......
Destroying the honor of the royal family is a vow born under the influence of chance, not a person's heartfelt and true pursuit.
What will I really seek?
The unity of Buddhism and martial arts, the road ahead is bleak. A martial arts master who is not afraid of spears and heavy crossbows? There has never been such an example in history, how could I have such an idea? It's really strange!
Shaking his head, he put aside these distracting thoughts at the moment and continued to flip through the scriptures in his hand.
Zhang Yuan's preparation for the imperial examination was not on a whim, nor was it for the sake of becoming an official. Just like the word "holy monk", the two identities of lifting people and jinshi also made him feel inexplicably very important, and it seemed that they would play a great role in helping one day in the future.
Therefore, I allocate time every day to practice the Dharma, practice the Dharma, and use this to completely replace sleep, and then get up before five o'clock to practice the sword, and after the sun rises in the middle of the day, I start to read the Buddhist scriptures and read the scriptures until midnight.
Although there is a lot of homework, it does not make him feel unbearable, but he enjoys it and is tireless. This feeling of progress every day is wonderful and fulfilling, and the whole body and mind are sublimating in a higher direction.
The thoughts and premonitions that often pop up in his mind have made him vaguely understand that he has a secret, and if he blindly ignores it, or wastes his time, he will only "sigh that time is involuntary and that nothing can be achieved through years of hard work"!
......
Xiangguo Mansion.
In the hall, Mrs. Sima had a long face, listening to Zhang Xuan's bitter complaints.
The room was as warm as spring, and the warm earth dragon smoked everyone drowsy, but Madame Sima squinted a pair of narrow and thin eyes, and her heart was resentful.
"Lawlessness! real lawlessness!!" Mrs. Sima suddenly slammed a fine blue and white porcelain cup on the floor, startling the maids beside her, and a little sleepiness immediately flew out of the clouds.
"This scumbag has become extremely ferocious now, mother, it's time to take a heavy hand and cut off the scourge in one fell swoop, if it is allowed to grow up again, my son is worried that there may be unforeseen dangers in the future!" Zhang Xuan persuaded.
"To put it lightly, how to cut it off? Use a large number of armor soldiers to besiege it? This is the Great Wei Wangjing!"
Mrs. Sima took a few heavy breaths, slapped the table and said, "How can the use of armor soldiers be an idle matter? Not to mention the army, even if you gather more than 100 people to go out, it will provoke the royal family and other families to tighten their heads and stare at them deadly!"
"That shaft killed two good hands, I'm afraid this matter has already spread. If you send a family to ** Feng, if there are fewer people, you will also send food, and if there are more people, the opportunity will be leaked, then how will you let the people of the world think of our Zhang family?"
"Kill a concubine, and still make such a big move?
Zhang Xuan said anxiously: "Do you just let him participate in the scientific expedition, and in the future, he will be entangled with those people from the Hanmen to fight against us?"
When Mrs. Sima thought of something, she immediately settled down, and her face recovered a lot: "The people in the Tianguan have some ghost tricks, so you might as well find them out." β
"Ask Tianguan?" Zhang Xuan was stunned, "Those Taoist priests who are chattering with gods and gods are just like monks, they can treat some diseases, how can they deal with that shaft?"
Mrs. Sima waved her hand and said with a reminiscence on her face: "There are some things you don't know, do you know that Concubine Zhen Shu had a son?"
Zhang Xuanqi said: "Concubine Zhen Shu, didn't she enter the cold palace a long time ago? Where did you have a son?"
Mrs. Sima smiled contemptuously: "Concubine Zhen Shufei came from a humble background, and she was pregnant with a dragon fetus in her womb but she didn't dare to say it, for fear that someone would secretly harm her, so she hid it until the day of childbirth before it was exposed." β
"After Concubine Zhen gave birth, only one day later, she found that her son was suddenly infected with an epidemic. Concubine Zhen Shufei summoned a Taoist priest for treatment, and she was optimistic at the time, but in less than a week, the prince suddenly lost his soul and died. β
"Then, Concubine Zhen Shufei was also charged with poor care and sent to the cold palace!"
Mother said...... How is this possible?" Zhang Xuan was a little unconvinced, if the Taoist priest had this ability, wouldn't everyone be in danger?
Madam Sima seemed to see what he was thinking, and snorted lightly: "Do you know why, no matter the royal family, the child should be canonized when he is still in the womb?
If Concubine Zhen Shu did not secretly give birth to a child, but told the emperor in advance and was canonized, then the evil law of the Taoist priest would not be able to harm the prince!"
She also said one less thing: If Concubine Zhen Shufei had not ordered the Taoist priest to treat her son's illness, in the forbidden courtyard of the palace, the Taoist priest would not be able to use his mana!
"You can bring me a letter to ask Tianguan and find a Taoist named Guang Yuanzi. The evil law is invisible and invisible, and even if that Yuan Tianda has great ability, he will definitely not be able to defeat him!"
"When the time comes, if he dies in the third watch, he will definitely not be able to breathe in the fifth watch!" In the end, Mrs. Sima's face was poisonous, and her hatred was overflowing.
