Chapter 43 Commitments

The Zhongdu City is built on the mountain, the city presents an obvious inclination angle, Xiao Yu's palace is located at the highest point of the Zhongdu, so standing in the highest Lingfeng Pavilion in the palace, you can see most of the Zhongdu. And from the palace down is Xu Lin's Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Wang Xiang's Mansion, Left and Right Governor's Mansion and so on. The central capital is also divided into the inner city and the outer city, the above mansions and official offices of the magnates belong to the scope of the inner city, and after the inner city, it is the outer city with a wider area, there are wine shops, inns, gambling houses, Qing (Qing) Lou here, there are both southern merchants who come here from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there are also herdsmen on the northern grasslands, and even the later builders, although they are not as good as the first good place in the East Capital and the Pearl River Capital in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is also the prosperity of the first class in the northwest.

Even if you are a wealthy businessman who is rich enough to rival the country, as long as you have no official status, you can only buy a house in the outer city, and if you want to live in the inner city, you can only rent it, so in the outer city, there is no shortage of high-gate mansions that are not inferior to the mansions in the inner city. Xiao Yu, as the master of Zhongdu, rarely comes to the outer city, and today because of the unsatisfactory business and private affairs, he left the palace alone and walked to the outer city of Zhongdu unconsciously.

When he came to the outer city, there was no prosperous scene as he imagined, only slaughter and desertion, and occasionally a few caravans, which were also subordinate to several big families in the south of the Yangtze River or a certain big Taiji on the grassland, and there was no longer the scene of small caravans coming and going.

Xiao Yu sighed a little, in the years when there was not enough to eat, no matter how much prosperity was false, coupled with the continuous war in the Central Plains and the raging white plague on the grassland, the bleak scene in the central capital was also reasonable.

Xiao Yu was dressed in an ordinary pale cyan robe, sat on a small stall on the side of the road, asked for a bowl of soju from the wine shopkeeper who was drowsy because of the bleak business, looked at the street scene, and drank alone.

Today is a bleak day with snow in the evening, there are no pedestrians on this street, only a few teams of armor soldiers hurriedly walked by, just when Xiao Yu felt bored and was about to go home, sparse snowflakes fell down, Xiao Yu looked up at the sky, let the snowflakes fall on his body, and his lips moved slightly.

Along with Xuehua, there were two others, one of whom was an old acquaintance, and the other was a guest. The old acquaintance is Qiu Si, who has not been seen for a long time, and the guest is a young boy.

Qiu Si, who was dressed in a red robe, stood out in the slightly dim skylight, and when she saw Xiao Yu on the street, she was stunned at first, then walked forward and said with a smile: "Long time no see, why are you here." ”

Xiao Yu lowered his head, looked at Qiu Si, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and smiled, "It's been a long time." ”

The young man who followed Qiu Si peeked at Xiao Yu, and secretly guessed curiously in his heart what kind of immortal this young man who looked very majestic, you must know that his master is a master of the realm of heaven and man, and several cultivators he has seen along the way, and even the real power captain who is stubborn and stubborn, are all respectful to their master, it is those martial artists who are full of murderous aura and violent temperament, and they also raise a rough smile on themselves, this is all for the sake of the master's face! But the master doesn't pretend to them, who is the person in front of him, who can make the master who is not smiling on weekdays show his face?

Xiao Yu glanced at the thin young man and asked, "What is this?"

Qiu Si said briefly and clearly: "My apprentice." ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Little monk." ”

Xiao Yu did not deliberately hide and suppress his voice, the young man who followed Qiu Si blushed after hearing this, and glared at Xiao Yu angrily, but after making a little contact with Xiao Yu's gaze, his eyes became cowardly and did not dare to look at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked at the young man carefully, only to find that the young man had clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and was not cheesy, and after a pause, he suddenly smiled: "It turned out to be a little girl." ”

Qiu Si nodded and said, "I only accept women in this vein." ”

Xiao Yu thought of the destroyed Molun Temple and the dead Aman, his eyes fell on the Bodhi on Qiu Si's wrist, and suddenly said: "You believe in Buddhism, Aman believes in Buddhism, Yinping believes in Buddhism, and Murong also believes in Buddhism, but I don't believe in it, what is a Buddha? I think it's just a sustenance, and if you believe it, you don't believe it." Otherwise, don't believe in Buddhism, just follow me. ”

Qiu Si said softly: "You are slandering the Buddha. ”

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "Joking." ”

The little girl behind Qiu Si was already extremely angry, and couldn't help but say: "The Dharma is boundless, how can you talk nonsense!"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "The little girl believes in Buddhism? ”

The little girl was speechless, and her face turned red again.

Xiao Yu raised his hand, and a young woman in tight black clothes quietly appeared behind him, with a delicate figure and a faint shadow on her face, making it difficult to see the lineup. It is the shadow of Xiao Yu's four directly subordinate secret guards.

Xiao Yu smiled at the little girl and said, "Little girl, you go to play with this sister behind me, let me say a few words to your master, how about it?"

The little girl was a little stunned by the elusiveness of the shadow, but she still looked up at Qiu Si.

Qiu Siwen smiled and said, "Go ahead." ”

The little girl nodded, left behind Qiu Si, and timidly walked to the shadow.

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "You go to the palace first." ”

The little girl's eyes widened suddenly, the palace is not the eastern capital where the palace is everywhere, in the central capital, there is only one palace, and that is the palace of the king of the northwest.

A bold idea surfaced in the bottom of the little girl's heart, could it be that this young man is the king of the northwest who covers the sky with one hand in the northwest and calls for wind and rain!?

After the shadow and the little girl left, Xiao Yu looked at him and chuckled, "Take a walk with me?"

Qiu Si nodded slightly.

The two walked through the streets of Zhongdu, snowflakes flying under the hazy sky.

Xiao Yu put his hands behind his back and asked, "Why do you remember to go back to Zhongdu?"

Qiu Si walked slowly, turned his head and pursed his lips and said, "What, I'm not welcome?"

The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth curled, "How dare you, this hat is tall enough, I don't dare to be it." ”

Qiu Si approached Xiao Yu slightly, the faint sandalwood fragrance on his body hit with the cold wind, and said softly: "I want to rebuild the Molun Temple." ”

Xiao Yu took a light sip of the faint sandalwood and asked, "How could you have this idea?"

After the Molun Temple was destroyed by the Taoist Sect, the Taoist Sect originally wanted to give the grassland to Buddhism, in order to reunite Buddhism and Taoism, but later things turned around, and the grassland turned out to be Xiao Yu's back house, so that the grassland could not be given up, and the grassland, from the Khan King Taiji to the ordinary herdsmen and slaves, generally believed in Buddhism. If the Buddha Gate is in the past, it is fine, but if the Taoist Gate passes, I am afraid that it will be unadaptable.

Now the grassland, the Molun Temple has been destroyed, the vitality of the witch cult has been greatly damaged, and the Taoist sect has intervened, it can be described as a chaotic situation, the so-called fishing in troubled waters, if you wait until the Taoist sect withdraws its hand to solve the grassland affairs, then the reconstruction of the Molun Temple is completely far away. Qiu Si gave birth to this thought, but it is also reasonable.

Qiu Si said: "After all, I am a disciple of the Molun Temple, even if I can't restore the glory of the Molun Temple back then, I must continue to inherit the ancestor." ”

Xiao Yu said: "This is actually the second destruction of the Molun Temple, as early as a thousand years ago, the Ming King who was entrenched in the Great Snow Mountain was surrounded and killed by the great true people of the Daomen at the foot of the Great Snow Mountain because he was unwilling to obey the orders of the Daomen Sect, and the inheritance of the Great Snow Mountain was destroyed. One hundred years after the collapse of the Great Snow Mountain, the founding patriarch of the Sword Sect was born, and the Dao Sect was therefore divided into the Sword Sect and the Dao Sect, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he could not continue to occupy the position of the overlord of the cultivation world. Buddhism came later, but the good times did not last long, because of the doctrinal dispute, Buddhism was divided into three parts, one of which came to the grassland, combined with the Great Snow Mountain to create a line of Molun Temple. And the Ming King who died that year had a Ming concubine, reincarnated for 900 years, and became the master of the Molun Temple, since then the Molun Temple and the Great Snow Mountain have completed the substantive unification. ”

Qiu Si didn't speak.

Xiao Yu continued: "That Molun Temple master has been dormant for nine hundred years, and he practiced the Zen of Joy with the previous Demon Sect Master, he may not have the intention of revenge, but unfortunately he was one move behind, and he was killed by the Dao Sect Master and the Sword Sect Master Shangguan Xianchen together, the Dao Sect and the Sword Sect together are the towering Dao Sect that dominated the cultivation world back then, if you want to rebuild the Molun Temple, you are slapping the Dao Sect in the face, and in this matter, the Sword Sect may not be against the Dao Sect." ”

Xiao Yu stretched out a finger and nodded, and said, "I, the king of the northwest, am not the prince of the Northwest, but also the lord of the Northwest Daomen, and now there is a Dao sect staring at it, and I really can't do anything about it." ”

Qiu Si's face turned pale, he bit his lip, but still didn't speak.

Xiao Yu suddenly smiled and said, "But I can guarantee that when I have enough ability, I will definitely help you rebuild the Molun Temple." ”

Qiu Si said softly: "What if someone doesn't agree?"

Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "Whoever doesn't agree, I'll let him agree." ”
