Chapter 32: An Eventful Winter
(The next chapter is estimated to be after five o'clock.) )
The deserted Xia Ma Wei finally gained some popularity, and Li Yuaxe had already left Beijing quickly, away from the land of right and wrong. And Wang Xiaoping, a sword idiot who has no gods, stayed in the post house, and it is estimated that there will be countless scoldings for the tiger in the future. Wang Xiaoping entered a side room and closed the door to greet guests. Then the little monk stupid north and south ran to get off the horse in a hurry, and scratched his bald head after seeing the bleak scene of His Royal Highness the prince, Xu Fengnian didn't talk much about his dangerous "quarrel" in the palace, and he made an appointment to go out of Beijing together, and then went to the two Zen temples, never thought that the little monk shook his head and said: "Master asked me to go to Beiliang with His Royal Highness, let me teach him the method of epiphany." ”
Xu Fengnian asked in surprise: "It's okay if you didn't go to Beijing to face the saint, but if you just left the capital and go to Beiliang with me, doesn't this mean that your two temples have completely fallen out with the imperial court?"
After the snow in the backyard was used up, she asked Xu Fengnian to go to the outer yard or even the street to shovel snow, and load it back into the yard with a basket. The little monks from the north and south grinned, "The master said that it doesn't matter if the temple is closed, anyway, the monks in the temple can't starve to death, and they don't have the natural warmth, and they are sincere when they are suffering." ”
Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "Your master is relieved. ”
Ben Nanbei looked melancholy and worried, "Master's epiphany, I'm afraid I can't say it well." ”
Xu Fengnian was bored lying on the rattan chair, and said with an understated expression: "Nanbei, or you and Li Zi should not go to Beiliang." Or one day I miss you, and I invite you to Beiliang as a guest. ”
Miss Li Zi has used up all the snow, and she has finished piling up the last snowman, patting her frozen red hands, she was stunned when she heard this, first she wanted to refute it violently, and then she remembered something, and her face turned pale with fright and hesitated.
Obviously, she remembered the nightmare of the stupid north and south who became a Buddha and left.
Xu Fengnian said calmly: "I believe in fate, I would rather believe it or not, but believing it does not mean that you must accept fate, I don't care what your master, Li Zi's father thinks, if you dare to go to Beiliang, I can throw you to the South China Sea, and the East China Sea." The epiphany Buddhism of standing on the ground to become a Buddha is big, and Beiliang is indeed the easiest place to spread, but you also said that when you are suffering, the Dharma is more sincere, so go to places other than Beiliang to endure hardship. Bei Liang, I won't open this door to you for the time being. ”
Except for the matter of saying the scriptures, the little monks in the north and south, who were stupid in other things, suddenly fell into a dilemma.
Xu Fengnian didn't give them a chance to think more, and continued to say mercilessly: "You should leave the capital immediately, so as not to be implicated by me." ”
Miss Plum had red eyes and bit her lip.
Xu Fengnian straightened his face and said, "Don't you understand the eviction order?"
Miss Li Zi cried: "I haven't seen you for a while, you have a white head, in case the next time you say death, you will die, I only have you and Wen Hua two friends, Wen Hua can't find it, what do you let me do?"
Xu Fengnian wanted to speak and stopped.
Ben Nanbei clasped his hands together and walked to the side of the east and west, Xu Fengnian closed his eyes and said softly: "You can go through Xishu to Nanzhao first, and you can go all the way to the edge of the South China Sea." The road is difficult to walk, but relatively stable. ”
In the end, Miss Li Zi has just grown from a girl to a woman, this time she was not coquettish, nor entangled, she turned her head and wiped her tears, snorted, and whispered: "Then I'm leaving." ”
Xu Fengnian always closed his eyes and was hard-hearted.
She finally moved to the door of the backyard, turned her head and said, "I'm really gone." ”
Xu Fengnian was indifferent.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng quietly rolled his eyes.
After half a ring, Xuanyuan Qingfeng couldn't cry or laugh a little, and a little head poked out of the door, with tears in his eyes. Then another bald head also poked out sneakily.
Xu Fengnian stood up suddenly, and both heads swooped back.
Xu Fengnian crossed the threshold, saw her with her back to her, walked over and twisted her ears, turned her over, lowered her head and laughed softly: "I used to give you gifts, this time you and the north and south went to the South China Sea, remember to help me pick out a few gifts, and when we meet in the future, I will ask you for it." I'm cheesy, how the gift is expensive, how can the thief be expensive. ”
Miss Plum lowered her head and sighed.
Xu Fengnian turned his head and smiled at the monks in the north and south: "Then I will hand over this sister to you and take care of it." I remember that 10,000 catties of rouge gouache are not as good as a living person. ”
The North and South Monks nodded.
Seeing off at the door of the Xiamawei Post House, Xu Fengnian just waved his hand and turned around.
Leaving behind a crying girl and a young monk at a loss.
Back in the courtyard, Xu Fengnian squatted in front of a knee-high snowman, stunned.
His second sister Xu Weixiong has been a ghost and a fairy since she was a child, and when she was a girl, she was engraved with the words "three thousand miles away" on the back of the statue of the Zhenwu Emperor in Wudang Mountain.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng asked, "Are you the reincarnation of the True Martial Emperor?"
Xu Fengnian said indifferently: "None of the people around me have a good reward." My mother has no land sword immortal, my eldest sister has a bad fate, my second sister almost died of plum wine, my master Li Yishan died of illness, and my younger brother may not know when he will be in the mystery for me. You're not afraid?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng smiled heartily like a madman, and laughed heartily: "What a terrible word! I'm going to die of happiness!"
Xu Fengnian exhaled heavily, didn't care about the schadenfreude of the crazy woman, stood up, "Go home." ”

The god of the world's No. 1 Fu Sword returned to the Emperor Zhenwu, Zhao Danping's face was cloudy, and he silently calculated the heavenly opportunity, but he couldn't even count the signs. Mr. Bai Lian gasped and muttered in a questioning tone. Sun Tanglu and several living men all subconsciously lowered their heads and looked at their toes, not daring to take a second look at this kind of scene that still didn't know if it was a bad omen or an auspicious sight. Zhao Ningshen, an old ancestor of Longhu Mountain with a cool face, stood in a daze, chanting words, and constantly shaking his head. After Longhu Mountain overpowered Wudang, it occupied the fortune, the purple golden lotus flowers in the dragon pond bloomed, swaying, Longhu Mountain real people are even more talented, and there is a tradition of Zhao surname and foreign surname complementing each other, after Qi Xuan's frame slashed the demon, there is Qi Xianxia who holds the dust as a sword and is known as one of the leaders of contemporary swordsmanship, the name is extremely secondary, Qi Xianxia really has chivalrous bones, and there is more immortality, plus the four great heavenly masters surnamed Zhao are alive, Zhao Danping is advocating momentum in the capital, and there are younger generations Zhao Ningshen was born, not to mention that there is Mr. Bailian on the side, Longhu Mountain is a period of luck that can be called quite prosperous, but the face is full, but the inside makes the Heavenly Master's Mansion worry, there are not many lotus flowers left in Longchi, and there are still bleak signs of continuing to wither, which makes the Huang Zi nobles of the Heavenly Master's Mansion puzzled.
His Majesty the Emperor calmly said to Zhao Danping: "Zhao Tianshi, go to Qin Tianjian." ”
Zhao Danping was ordered to hurry away.
Even if Zhao Zhan became the prince, he still seemed to have the same idle mentality when he was a gentle prince. The emperor turned his head and smiled: "Zhang'er, you lead Mr. Bailian and Ning Shen around, if there is anything wrong, go back and write me an excerpt." Remember, don't find someone to ghostwrite. ”
Zhao Zhen nodded with a bitter face. He, the crown prince and the two Taoist priests, were strolling around the palace aimlessly, and Zhao Zhen suddenly smiled and asked, "Mr. Bailian, you said that if the eldest son of the Xu family is the Emperor Zhenwu, wouldn't it be very tricky?"
Bai Yu laughed softly: "Be an immortal in the sky, and be a human on the ground." If so, it doesn't matter. Eight hundred years ago, Emperor Daqin regarded himself as the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, and he never unified Beimang, so he could only die with regret like ordinary people. ”
Zhao Zhen asked an extremely sharp question, "Sir, the world envies immortals to live forever, and there have been emperors in all dynasties who begged for alchemy, or alchemy, or visited immortals, but there is no immortal, and there is no emperor who has lived past a hundred years old, so since your Longhu Mountain is where the Taoist ancestral court is located, have you ever had a predecessor heavenly master who truly preached immortality?
According to the laws of the Liyang Sect, the crown prince can call himself a lonely.
Mr. Bai Lian smiled and said heartily: "Bai Yu was taken to Longhu Mountain by his master when he was young, and he also asked him if there were any immortals in the old man's world. I only relayed the master's words once, he said that the scholar Xiuxian asked the avenue, just like the medicine picker mountaineering to collect medicine, some people are very lazy, but sometimes there must be in life, once you enter the mountain, you will pick precious medicinal materials, and return with a full load, this kind of person, Wudang has a Hong wash elephant, and there is also one in Longhu Mountain, where Bai Yu is located. But the vast majority of people are rewarded by heaven, from time to time, but after all, there is something to gain, like the four great heavenly masters of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, just like this, they have become living immortals in the eyes of the world outside the mountain, and they are only a line away from the saying of Taoist real people. More people return in vain, they can often climb the mountain, not to mention collecting medicine, they can look at the mountain scenery, they can have a broad field of vision, relax and feel happy, and walk more difficult mountain roads that are not often walked, but also exercise their physique and prolong their lives. In the previous dynasties, there were indeed many lame monks who flattered the emperor with longevity and confused the court, which in Bai Yu's view was harmful and not beneficial, and the future generations should be vigilant, but the inner Dan method of Longhu Mountain, if you don't use the word immortality to confuse all beings, it will be beneficial and harmless, whether it is the emperor or the peddler's pawn, you can learn it, so Your Majesty ordered me to enter Beijing for the first time that year, and asked me with the same smile as His Royal Highness the Prince, whether there are any free immortals in the world, whether there is superior longevity, I answered no. In fact, the matter of ascension, the immortal person, since Bai Yu is a cultivator, he naturally believes in it, and the emperor's duty is not to obtain monstrous well-being, but to seek peace in the world, and the art of immortality is to go against the sky, and the emperor is carried by the heavens, so he calls himself the son of heaven, so it is particularly difficult to preach immortality, and it is not liked by the heavens. The stars are running, the rivers are walking, the temples are drapery, and people are dying, all in the word ritual. The ranking of Confucianism in this dynasty is still before Taoism, and it lies in the internal benevolence, righteousness and external etiquette of Confucianism, which is indeed the fundamental medicine for one party to govern the country. But there is still no prescription for curing all diseases in the world, Taoism is quiet and inactive, it is another medicine, and Buddhism in the Central Plains is actually the same. His Majesty's extermination of the Buddha is not to destroy the true Buddha, but to uproot those apocryphal scriptures and pseudo-monks, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be granted amnesty to the Buddha when he ascends the throne in the future? ”
The crown prince Zhao Zhen was absent-minded when he listened to the debate of Buddhism and Taoism, and Bai Yu was talking eloquently at this time, so he concentrated on it, did not miss a word, looked around, saw that there was no one around, and said softly: "My father regards Zhao Danping, the prime minister of Qingci, as a servant, but he does not dare to treat Mr. Bailian like this! I also hope that Mr. He will be able to enter the court as an official one day, not seeking to live forever, but only to seek the blessings of all the people." ”
Future. Naturally, it was when he ascended the throne Zhao Seal.
Bai Yu smiled slightly, noncommittal.
Zhao Zhen also smiled.
Zhao Ningshen always began to wander thousands of miles, ignoring the chat between the prince and Mr. Bailian.
Zhao Zhen led the two Heavenly Master Mansion Daoists to leave outside the Qintian Prison, and Mr. Bailian looked at the high-rise building of the Qintian Prison that exceeded the specifications, and asked softly, "Calculated out?"
Zhao Ningshen nodded and said, "It's Xu Fengnian." ”
Bai Yu was not surprised or happy, but looked a little sad, and muttered to himself: "No wonder the first generation of Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain appeared to paint the Book of Heaven in Longchi, leaving a proverb of horses stepping on dragons and tigers." However, the king of the world is still the king who does not see the king. Liyang is at a time when the three talents of heaven, earth and people are gathering, no wonder you Xu Fengnian have such a bleak background. Have there ever been people around you who have been fulfilled and died well?"
Bai Yu sighed and patted the shoulder of the young Taoist priest beside him, "Lonely Zhao Huangchao has done something to usurp his life, and he can raise an evil dragon in Dilung Mountain, I don't believe you and I can't do it." ”

Fifty miles away from the capital, there is a small town, when the Yang Dynasty pacified the Central Plains, the world's wealthy gentry and rich craftsmen and other three religions and nine flows into the big urn, before the expansion of the city, a large number of people have to settle outside the city, people go to the city empty, over time, it changes hands and is later occupied by the power of the dove to occupy the magpie's nest, this Fulong town is not far from Beijing, but also prosperous, by the mountains and rivers, some good lot of the mansion is still occupied by the capital magnates, used to enjoy the snow in the spring and summer. In a quiet inn in Fulong Town, there was an old man with a silver hair, who was not generous, but his gas was extremely good, and the shopkeeper and the men were daunted, and the old man in gray clothes usually sat alone to eat and drink, and no one dared to come forward to talk.
Then another couple of guests came, sitting at the same table as the old man in gray.
The woman is as beautiful as a fairy, with a slender and gorgeous red sandalwood sword box on her back, just like the peerless beauty who walked out of the picture of the lady, but unfortunately she has the temperament of Ling Lie who is not close to the living.
The middle-aged Confucian who looked like a servant had frosty white temples and sat opposite the old man in the meeting.
The old man in gray said flatly: "Cao Changqing, crossed the threshold of the celestial phenomenon and became a Confucian saint, come to me to show off your might, or do you want to stop me from killing Xu Fengnian?"
The Confucian scholar, who was already a Confucian saint, smiled indifferently: "I just want to wait for Xu Fengnian to return one thing, so I will just catch up with you on the way." After that, I will not interfere in the grievances between you. ”
The snow-covered Han Diao Temple glanced at Jiang Ji, the princess of the Western Chu Dead Country, and retracted his gaze, "Although I, Han Diao Temple, am a eunuch, I also know that His Majesty will not treat the people of the world badly, although you Cao Changqing are not your own selfishness, but you are harming the world with the selfishness of a country, and you will restore the country?
Cao Changqing shook his head and said, "I don't know the destiny of heaven if I don't do my job." ”
Han Diao Temple sneered, and after getting up, he said fiercely: "You tell Xu Fengnian, five hundred miles away, within a thousand miles, there must be a life and death between me and him." ”
Cao Changqing was speechless.
Han Mink Temple dropped a bag of silver on the table and walked out of the inn.
Cao Changqing looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess, who said calmly: "He can only be killed by me." ”
Cao Changqing had a headache, "Han Diao Temple may not be able to kill Xu Fengnian." ”
The young woman who was already an immortal with an ancient face and tone was calm, "My words count. ”
Cao Changqing was even a Confucian saint who could be blocked by Gu Jiantang Nanhua Fangqi, and there was nothing he could do about it.
